He said the Council could possibly begin working with the University Senate on some problems.
He said more student interest would come when the students know more about student government.
"The committee system has a lot more to do with their daily lives than they realize," Hardy said. "When elections are being held, we could let the students know more about the students who will be appointed and not so much the council."
MAX EBERHART, Great Bend senior and student body president, said more dedicated people were needed on the Council.
"We need a Council member who is not just a Tuesday night Council member. He must be proud of being elected and proud of his office.
"And there ought to be a better program for integrating freshmen and sophmores into KU politics," he said.
"And after we take on more projects, we can prove we can take on more students funds and administer them," Eberhart said.
He said student government ought to take on more responsibility.
JIM ANDERSON, Lawrence senior and co-chairman of the University Party, said students lack interest in campus politics because not enough of them have taken the time to study its functions.
"Two strong, active parties are needed," he said. "If more students were educated in the functions of student government, they would
Dazed Staff Sits, Stares
The final deadline has come and gone for members of the Daily Kansas's staff this semester. Lights have not been dimmed in the newsroom for almost a week, as students in Reporting II and Editing II have hurriedly been trying to meet deadlines.
This group of fatigued journalists now leave the newsroom to cram for final examinations. Let's drop in and see how the long hours have affected members of the UDK staff.
The new managing editor had to go home at 1:30 o'clock this morning after three nights without sleep. The new city editor came in the newsroom at 8 o'clock last night and left at 5:30 a.m. to clean up before an 8 o'clock class.
The new editorial editor worked until 4:30 a.m., walked outside and into a snowdrift, promptly came back and stretched out on a desk to sleem.
The new assistant managing editor stayed up until 3:30 a.m., went home, shaved, showered, and was back by 4:30 a.m. He stayed until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
This is all part of a newspaperman's job. Long hours and little sleep are not uncommon in the field of journalism.
Now that it is all over, the last paper is out and the newsroom pressure is off, apathy has hit. "J" students are sitting around staring aimlessly.
To Play KU Prof's Symphony
The Third Symphony, by John Pozdro, chairman of the KU music theory department, will be played by The National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C., in its Jan. 30 and 31 concerts. It will be at least the third professional orchestra to include the symphony in a concert.
"Therefore, we should have better political educational campaigns,' Anderson said.
realize the limitations, and also the advantages, of student government.
He listed three necessities for this
- Adequate newspaper coverage.
- Active political parties.
- More active student government committees.
Jack Roberts, Lawrence senior and president of Vox last year, said the leaders of the political parties should set up a list of goals for which the party must strive.
He listed the goals as:
- Acquate political parties
- Active political parties
- Selection of responsible and qualified candidates.
- Campaigning for the candidates.
- Keeping the party's interest centered on the Universitv.
- Presenting platforms requiring actual constructive thinking on the part of platform drafters and party members.
- Roberts said the Kansan was a "vital organ in alleviating apathy."
- Handing down information party leaders have gained from year to year.
He said that other than this, however, he is not certain there is a solution to student apathy.
Shafiq Hashmi, International Club president, announced that the club will not meet this Friday evening because of finals.

Gift to Aid KU in International Role
International education at KU will be expanded under a new program providing additional funds.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced today that the KU Endowment Association is providing $100,000 in unrestricted funds for international programs.
The money will be used to further the University's present activities and to begin others. Funds will be allocated upon the recommendations of the KU Committee on International Educational Affairs, appointed last fall by Chancellor Wescoe to promote and coordinate the University's activities in the field.
Among new programs which may be supported by the fund are student and faculty aids, increased exchanges, book and document purchases, services to other Kansas institutions, and others now in the planning stage.
A 14-page booklet evaluating the Model U.N. at KU written by Frank T. Stockton, Dean Emeritus of the KU School of Business and former Dean of University Extension, has been published by the University Extension.
Kansan Want Ads Get Results
Dean Stockton concludes in his work that the programs were successful, except financially. The interest generated by these early conferences were at least partly responsible for the development of another Kansas project, the Governor's Conference on World Affairs, which began in 1953, the booklet states.
Booklet Published on Model U.N.
The booklet, titled "The United Nations Conferences at the University of Kansas, 1949 to 1956." is a survey of the programs, the first to be conducted by a university on a state level. The Model U.N. sessions are now held in the spring.
The one-day conferences were held in Lawrence the day preceding the "Kansas Day" activities each January 29 in Topeka.
The Jean de Rigault le Treteau de Paris will present a one act play by Jean-Paul Sartre, "Nuis Clois" or "No Exit," and an "anti-play" by Engene Ioneso, "La Cantatrice Chauve" or "The Bald Sorprano."
Two modern French plays will be performed in French at 8 p.m. Jan. 27 in University Theatre.
The programs were designed as workshops for local community leaders and students from all levels to stimulate interest and provide general information about the U.N.
Man O'War Records
NEW YORK — (UPI)—The last of the five world records credited to Man O'War at the end of his career in 1920 have been erased from the books. The final one was broken in the New York Handicap by Wise Ship last year when he ran $^{1 \frac{3}{8}}$ miles in 2:14 over a turf course. Man O'War was timed in $2:15 \frac{1}{2}$ on dirt.
Two French Plays Open P-T-P Series
The presentation is the first in a series of People-to-People Theatre Projects designed to increase KU's theater audiences' knowledge of foreign plays. No connection with KU's People-to-People organization is involved, although plans are being made with the national organization in Kansas City for cooperation in future theater projects.
LUCKY STRIKE presents:
LUCKY PUFFERS "THE FACULTY TEA"
THE PROFESSORIAL IMAGE. It used to be that professors, as soon as they were 28, took on a father image—rumpled tweeds, tousled hair, pipe. But these days, the truly "in" professor has the "buddy" look—Ivy suit, crew cut, Lucky Strikes. It seems that students learn more eagerly from someone with whom they can identify. Alert teachers quickly pounce on the fact that college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. Have you pounced on the fact yet?
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!
