Puzzled Martians Ask: Why the Big Change?
By Dennis Farney
Martians observing KU earthlings must be puzzled.
Attendance at local taverns has fallen off. Ironically, the same thing has happened at campus libraries. All over the campus, lights burn late and coffee consumption soars.
THE CAMPUS IS preparing for final examination week. And if our typical student is, in fact, typical, he's reacting to the impending threat in a manner something like this:
In contrast to the Martians, the typical KU student surveys the scene—still groggy, perhaps, after creating a term paper in a single night—and knows perfectly well what's happening.
First of all, he decided about a week ago that his nightly forays in search of beer and beer-drinking companions would have to go. The fact is, you can waste—or rather, spend—a helluva lot of time drinking beer.
That done, he decided to spend less time in the campus libraries. Libraries, he reasoned, are too noisy for the man who wants to get some serious studying done.
HE WITHDREW TO his noiseless, beerless—comparatively speaking—room or apartment. And he'll stay there, except for brief trips outside to attend classes, take tests or eat, until his last final is over—most likely sometime next Thursday or Friday.
Local librarians and tavern owners have noticed the change.
"We're getting a steady flow of books being checked out to students, but no corresponding rise in library attendance," said Donald Redmond, director of the KU science library.
HE COMMENTED on the outflow of books.
The day after classes resumed (Jan. 3) we had a tremendous rush
These books are beginning to be returned now, he said, but students are checking out other books for use in final week cramming.
"WEVE HAD QUITE a run on books," said Miss Eva Morrison, director of the engineering library. "We always have a room full of students here in the morning and early in the afternoon."
Paul Sinclair and Jim Large, owners of the Jayhawk and Wagon Wheel Cafes, respectively, note a decrease in business.
"Students are reacting as they always have in the past—if anything, they're studying harder," Mr. Sinclair said. "Our meal business has increased this week, because students living in apartments don't want to take the time to cook their own meals.
"This is always a quiet time for us," Mr. Large said. "Students are hitting the books now."
"BUT OUR EVENING business is fast and short. We don't get much business until about 10 o'clock, and the students who come in then don't stay very long."
Tavern owners are not unduly concerned about the slump in business, however. They expect the picture to change early next week.
ABOUT THAT TIME. when final week is one-half over, entrenched students will begin to leave their stations—for brief periods, of course—to refresh themselves.
A few days later, when final week is over, they'll begin to desert their rooms for entire nights at a time—to celebrate.
Lights will dim. Coffee consumption will drop. Taverns will be full. Only the libraries will remain empty.
The Martians will look on—still puzzled.

U.S. Plans Moon Rocket
The Ranger-3 shot, if it gets off on time, will kick off what shapes up as one of the most spectacular weeks in U.S. space history. The nation hopes to put its first astronaut into orbit Wednesday, and has scheduled an attempt to put five satellites into orbit with a single rocket during the week.
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — The United States is planning to launch a 10-story rocket Monday in an attempt to "crash land" a television-carrying space capsule on the moon.
The flight of Ranger-3, America's gold-plated hope for ending nearly four year of frustrating failures in lunar exploration, is expected to produce the most detailed photographs ever taken of the moon.
If all goes well, Ranger-3's package of instruments will soar 240,000 miles through space in about 60
Emporia Students' Enrollment Barred
By Fred Zimmerman
Several students at the College of Emporia who have strongly protested recent "unjust" actions of the school's administration and board of trustees have not been allowed to enroll for second semester classes, the Kansan learned today.
In a telephone interview, Pemberton said in Ottawa that the resolution of the National Executive Committee of the NSA charged that Rev. Mr. Butterfield was fired without formal charges or a fair hearing. The resolution urged the persons responsible to reconsider their action.
Bruce Pemberton, vice chairman of the Missouri-Kansas region of the National Student Association, said this afternoon that a recently-released report based on findings of an NSA investigator concludes that the NSA "wholly disagrees with the methods used in firing the Rev. David A. Butterfield."
In a telephone interview this afternoon, a reliable source in Emorpha said that although he is not sure how many students are involved, he thinks the number is eight.
NSA Opposes Butterfield's Firing
academic dean, saying that the Admissions and Advanced Standing Committee at the College "urged" them to enroll at another institution at the end of the semester.
THE REFUSAL TO ALLOW these students to enroll follows letters that were sent them recently by Dr. Hugh I. Myers, acting

Pemberton said the NSA hoped to work with the American Association of University Professors in order to "find a way of dealing with this problem" at the College.
were "not finding a compatible environment at C, of E."
the letters gave no specific reasons for the request. Dr. Myers could not be reached this afternoon for comment.
The Kansan on Dec. 11 printed a full story of the abrupt dismissal of the Rev. David A. Butterfield, assistant professor of religion and dean of the chapel at the College.
The students who have been prevented from re-enrolling are among a student and faculty group at the College that has objected to the Rev. Mr. Butterfield's firing, which it contends was without notice or just cause.
THE PROTECTORS ALSO SAY the board has "oppressed student and faculty discussion" of the strange situation that has arisen at the school since the firing of the Rev. Mr. Butterfield.
In another development, the editor of the student newspaper, Marjorie Grafke, resigned last week, after printing an editorial in the newspaper, College Life, in which she said the College was "probably one of the most inane educational institutions in America," and that a minority of students and faculty members have "found themselves the objects of militant ostracism."
Miss Grafke said she was resigning because she needed more time for studies and because she wanted to "retain my self-respect and dignity."
In a telephone interview today, Miss Grafke made this comment regarding her resignation:
hours and will televise 180 or more pictures in the last 40 minutes of the journey as it plunges toward the lunar surface.
"WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM with censorship. We have had to express the administration view-point."
Some of the students who were not allowed to re-enroll are known to have circulated copies of a petition last month, requesting the National Student Association (NSA) to investigate the firing of the Rev. Mr. Butterfield and the

A $961_{2}$-pound capsule is designed to burst from the main section of the 727-pound Ranger-3 and slowed by a retrorocket for a landing at a speed of about 100 miles per hour on the moon—a crash it is specifically built to survive.
There the rugged ball of instruments should labor for at least a month relaying to Earth information that will be valuable in selecting landing places for manned flights to the moon later this decade.
Ranger-3 will be aimed at the familiar side that always faces Earth. But it is expected to continue televising pictures until it plunges to an altitude of 15 miles.
The difference between Lunar photographs taken by the probe and those taken through telescopes on Earth, scientists said, "will be comparable to the ability to distinguish between an object the size of a large battleship and an object the size of a compact automobile" if both were on the moon.
Kennedy Sends Congress Budget
WASHINGTON — (UPI)—President Kennedy today sent Congress a $92.5 billion budget for the 1963 fiscal year—biggest ever in peace-time—but said he still hoped to eke out a "modest" $200 million surplus. He called it a blueprint for national "growth and strength."
Kennedy's first complete budget called for repeal of the 10 per cent tax on train and bus travel, and a 1-cent increase on both regular letter and air mail stamps. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon said the administration also hoped to cut income taxes early in 1963.
Initial Congressional reaction to the budget generally followed party lines. Republicans rapped it as another pattern for big spending and scoffed at the forecast of a surplus, but most Democrats praised it as a model of fiscal responsibility.
The new budget assumed that the Berlin crisis would be over by the end of June and that the nation's economy would expand steadily and fairly briskly for at least 18 months.
Unless these assumptions are realized, Kennedy's projected surplus could be wiped out.

Hill Activities Regulated by Student Council
(Editor's Note: This is the third article in a four part series on campus materials).
By Jerry Musil
If the political parties have been following the Constitution, major contributions cannot be expected. Article II of the Constitution says the purpose of the Associated Students of the University of Kansas is:
Student government has been on campus 52 years but major contributions are few.
- To unite in a single, self-governing body the students of the University of Kansas and to promote and regulate their extra-curricular activities.
- To coordinate student activities with the program of the faculty and administrative governing bodies.
- By so doing, to promote the highest interests of the University of Kansas and to cultivate loyalty
Article IV says, "This Association shall have all powers necessary to carry out the purpose set forth in Article II, and any other powers in the government of the students of the University of Kansas delegated to it by the Chancellor, the University Senate, the State Board of Regents or the laws of the State of Kansas."
to the University among its students
THESE ARTICLES show that the All Student Council regulates all student extra-curricular activities in professional, religious or social organizations. This includes dances, lectures, films, publications, and organizations such as Associated Women Students and KU-Y.
The student body president appoints 22 committees which regulate, plan and investigate the activities of students. Student Councils in the past have been mostly
regulatory bodies for student activities with few major accomplishments.
Past councils spent much time organizing varsity dances, participating in political maneuvers and judging the scholastic eligibility of their members.
BUT THE COUNCIL still retains considerable power over student organizations. It has control of a budget in excess of $3,000 and this year it decided to withdraw from the National Student Association.
Past councils chose the bands for two varsity dances each year. They also checked for gate crashers and punished the students who were caught. The punishment was usually the loss of credit hours.
Or the Councils spent much time between elections hearing evidence and looking into voting irregularities of the previous election.
For example, in 1929 a law student was caught stealing ballots
IN 1956, POGO was convicted in Student Court of violating the ASC Constitution and was fined $75. The Constitution says no political party can endorse a candidate for class office. The court action led to POGO's collapse.
The most controversial eligibility case occurred in 1932 when Pachacamac ran an advertisement in the Kansan asking why the Oread-Kayhawk controlled Council allowed three ineligible members to serve. The O-K leaders did not know how Pach discovered the alleged ineligibilities.
from the law school election. He was docked three hours credit.
"Neither the registrar's office nor the eligibility committee will release the names of ineligible students to other students," a Kansan news story said. Pach evidently had ways of getting almost any information.
Most major legislation acted
In an editorial published Nov. 8, 1943, the Kansan opposed the bill. In Chapter 4 of the bill, the editorial said, the Kansan would be governed by the Kansan Board. But an ASC committee also would sit on the Board.
CHANCELLOR Deane W. Malott vetoed a Publications bill in 1343 which would have resulted in possible censorship of the Kansan by the ASC.
The editorial said it did not quarrel with having the committee and invited the committee to see how problems are handled on the Kansan.

BUT THE KANSAN opposed the phrase, "providing that such activities shall not infringe upon the established policy of the All Student Council in the protection of
