City Slams, Then Passes-

(Continued from page 1) lor W. Clarke Wescoe. He said he believes a letter expressing the commission's approval will help the plan in the Legislature's current budget session.
The plan, announced in August by Chancellor Wescoe, provides for five traffic control stations on streets entering the main portion of the campus. Traffic would be halted between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.
FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION of the control stations were recommended by the Board of Regents for this year, but were eliminated by James W. Bibb, budget director. The plan cannot go into effect as planned in September unless the funds are approved during the Legislature's current budget session.
"WE WOULDNT DO IT (control traffic on the campus) this way, but we'll approve the plan," he said.
Commissioner Fred Cooper summed up the commission's feelings.
Mayor Ted Kennedy said joking ly:
"The University's going to put it into effect anyway, so we might as well give them a pat on the back."
Commissioner Ben Barteldes said the traffic problems will continue to grow as the city and the University grow.
"The University campus is an awfully big chunk of land for people to drive around," he said.
COMMISSIONER Don McConnell, however, said he believes the plan will not cause too much trouble.
"Lawrence is small enough that people won't be seriously inconvenienced," he said.
The commission instructed Harold Horn, city manager, to write the letter of approval to Chancellor Wescoe.
The commissioners also discussed
a possible new east-west route, which would be an extension of Sunnyside avenue to Tennessee Street.
City Engineer George William said the city already owns part of the right-of-way for the street which would go behind the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, and turn northeast to intersect Tennessee Street between the Sigma Chi fraternity house and the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house.
Mayor Kennedy said the University probably would not like this plan because of proposed construction of buildings along Sunnyside. "They (the KU administration) are afraid Sunnyside Avenue might become another Jayhawk Boulevard," he said.
Governor OK's -

The Legislature, however, is not bound to follow the governor's budget proposals and may, as in past years, exceed his recommendations in some areas.
In his message, Gov. Anderson chopped about $300,000 from Kansas State University's request of $20,-951,140. The request included development of K-State's experimental stations.
The governor did not cut deeply at any one item of the institution's requests but deleted relatively small amounts from the overall budget.

ASC Grants President Veto
The All Student Council last night granted the student body president power to veto all ASC bills.
Melvin Saferstein, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate student, proposed the amendment to the present ASC legislative bill. He said the president should have the power to veto bills because "he represents the whole student body," while the ASC members represent "special interests" such as fraternities, sororities, dormitories, etc.
THE AMENDMENT met no opposition and passed unanimously. It provides for a two-thirds majority vote to overrule the student body president's veto. At present, the student body president has only the right of discussion at ASC meetings. Max Eberhart, Great Bend senior,
Max Eberhart, Great Bend senior,
is president of the student body.
In other action, the ASC set spring election dates. Primaries will be held April 17-18, and the general elections will be held April 24-25.
A resolution setting a permanent time and place for ASC meetings was also passed. Hollace Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior, proposed the resolution. He said that at present students who want to come to ASC meetings are confused about when and where it will meet.
Gene Gaines, Joplin, Mo., junior,
resigned from the ASC last night.
He was replaced by Charles Whitman,
Shawnee Mission sophomore.
The resolution on the possibility of expanding Watkins Hospital sooner than the KU building program calls for did not come up.
