student rights." The editorial said, "This could be used to give the ASC arbitrary power over the Kansan's policies."
A more recent example of major legislation was wa. the Reserved Athletic Seating bill adopted last spring. The Council passed the plan after indirect pressure from the administration.
James Gunn, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, attended the meetings and said indirectly that the plan would be put into effect by the administration if the Council defeated it.
THE COUNCIL defeated part of the plan but passed the bill in the end. Some Council members felt they might as well have some control over the plan; if the administration put the plan into effect, the Council would have no control over it.
Also, Council members did not feel reserve seating was necessary at basketball games. They defeated the section which would have financed a new intramural gymnasium with revenue received from the sale of the tickets, and they cut out reserve seating at basketball games.
According to the Constitution, the Council has no power to override a veto of the Chancellor. The Constitution does say that if the Chancellor does not return the bill with a message of veto within two weeks, not including time spent out of town, the bill is considered approved.
IN 1950, the Kansan asked students whether the Chancellor should have veto power over the All Student Council.
Carol Crow said, "Yes, I think the Chancellor should have the power to veto the All Student Council bills. So many of the proposals that are put before the ASC are so trivial and unimportant, and so many of them would be passed if there were no one to check on them, that I am glad there is a power of veto.
"Besides, I'm sure that Chancellor Malott must have good reasons for vetting the bills," she added. "Students are not as likely to use good judgment in matters concerning themselves as an adult is."
MRS, SHIRLEY BANNIGAN, a special student, opposed the issue, saying, "With the absolute veto that is now in effect, the Council is a farce and 'rubber stamp' instead of representing the will of the student body as it should. Any absolute veto is dictatorial and has no place in a democratic institution. If the Chancellor is to retain this power, let's dissolve the Student Council and stop being hypocritical. Of course, the junior politicos will be frustrated, but I think the school will be better off."

Therefore, the Council is more or less a regulating body for student activities which prepares a budget for several student organizations receiving funds from it.
The Councils in the last few years have continued to regulate extra-curricular activities but also have tried to pass more constructive measures to benefit the students.

The students who have received letters from Dr. Myers requesting that they attend another school are the following: Keith Barnett, John Beard, Rod Borlase, Rod Gibson, Mike Klapak, John Settle, Holly Van Horne, and Eugene Warren.
In a development yesterday, William L. White, editor and publisher of the Emporia Gazette, was hanged in effigy, apparently as a result of the extensive coverage the Gazette has given to the Butterfield controversy and subsequent events.
THE DUMMY WAS SUSPENDED from a tree in front of the Gazette office. On it was a placard bearing the words, "William L. White." Mr. White has been in New York on business since Dec. 20.
The source in Emporia said this afternoon he understands there may be disagreement among the school's administrators on how to deal with the eight students to whom the letters were sent.

"Apparently Myers and Arrasmith (Hermon, dean of students) are adamant in their intention of
"BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT Laughlin (Joseph R., interim president) may want to give the students another chance. He wants the letters to constitute a warning. But as far as I know he has not committed himself."
This source — who asked that he not be named — and Miss Graffe both have said that the eight students are of generally high academic standing. The source said that at least half of them have been on the honor roll.

Last month, when this reporter asked Laughlin, Arrasmith and Elvin D. Perkins, chairman of the board, why the Rev. Mr. Butterfield had been fired, they refused to comment.
Perkins said:
"The board and I consider that the case of Butterfield is closed."
