Michael Turse, Cherry Hill, N.J., junior and EPPC member, yesterday submitted to the assembly an amendment that would raise the number of student committee members from three to five and cut faculty representation from nine members to six.
"The University was built for the students," Tursal said. "Getting that kind of representation on the EPC would be a foot in the door."
Student representation on all University policy-making committees has been a mandatory 20 per cent since 1970. Turse's report on the EPCP to the University representation on the EPCP to 40 per cent.
Ed Rolls, Junction city sophomore and EPPC member, said he thought the amendment would be popular enough to go to a mail ballot because the new student members of the assembly would be at the Mav meeting.
About 60 people attended yesterday's meeting, and about 10 of them were

for naming the other committee members. The only proposal that met with any discussion was a recommendation from the Committee on Graduate Studies to establish a procedure for extending the time limit for Ph.D. degree completion.
Heron said the wage law was good because students in general were poorly paid. Because of the law, however, the university required assistant assistants must have to be curtailed.

The committee's proposal would be an assembly affirmation of the current system. It would include the following:
This policy permits the student to withdraw from a class during the first four weeks of a semester without any record of that class appearing on his transcript.
The Educational Policies and Procedures Committee (EPPC) decided yesterday to recommend to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that the probationary period for students who receive lower than a 2.0 GPA be eliminated.

The EPPC also discussed the procedure for dropping courses in the college. Members will recommend to the college to postpone their graduation or to droppe last summer by the University Senate.
The EPPC is submitting its recommendations in a report to be distributed to the College Assembly members before May 7.
Heron said he hoped that the number of hours worked by students wouldn't have to be that much.
EPPC Requests Probation's End
The EPPC will also suggest to the college a student should not be dismissed from KLU.
In 1969-1970, the library spent $180,000 for wages for student assistant compared with $34,000.
The number of student assistant jobs has decreased in the last few years. During the 1969-1970 school year, there were about 200 student assistant jobs; now there are about 100.
Heron said that although the library might be pressed for the money to pay student assistants, the over-all funding for the library had improved over the last few years. The total amount allotted to the library this year is $2.1 million, down
$150,000 from last year.
Although the total amount is less, the University library has one less expense this year; the law library will be made separate from the University library in July and will have a separate account.
In the new budget, the University library book fund will be increased $150,000 to a total of $800,000, the largest increase since 1968.
A 10 per cent increase in salary for the professional staff of Watson Library is planned this year, and a 10.5 per cent increase in forthcoming in classified staff salaries.
Heron said that it was important to stop reducing the hours that Watson library was open. He said that many other Big Eight libraries had longer library hours than KU did.
Discussion came when the interpretation of the phrase "such extension to be granted" was questioned by assembly members. "May" was substituted for "to" to allow the dean of the college flexibility in the granting of extensions.
Heron said that he thought that with the money the library had, the student interested was ready.
"I think students are going to be in better shape this year," Heron said, "because the library is being funded better—at least, better than the last few years."
Bungartel, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said.
"We should either maintain the present regulation or else abolish it altogether." James Carothers, assistant professor of English, said against the substitution.
Gerald Mikkleon, assistant professor of Slavic literature and languages and chairman of the Committee on Advancement of Instruction and Advising, asked assembly members for guidelines for the committee's work next year.
The proposal was defeated after George Worth, professor of English, called the substitute wording pointless. However, it went on for months when the original wording was reinstated.

However, Nancy Dahl, associate professor of physiology and cell biology, called universal application of Feedback "a fantastic waste of time," and asked whether continued mandatory use was the committee's intent.
Mikkelson said that the committee had been instrumental in getting mandatory use of Feedback and that he hoped the survey "would go out of existence."
Feedback, the curriculum and instruction survey, had to be administered in all college courses.
THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION will sponsor a health care services workshop at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in an International Room of the Kansas Union.
Mikkelson answered that it was not the committee's precientique to institute such a program and that the Feedback advisory committee be organized later this month would begin an investigation into alternative programs.

"I've enjoyed serving," Simons said, and I I'm sorry that circumstances were not better.
Simons said his resignation wasn't directly related to the controversy surrounding the hospital board's hiring of Good Health Care Management Inc., a company he said would continue to be active in efforts to improve health services in Lawrence.
JEWS FOR JESUS
Good Health was hired by the hospital board Jan. 29, to study options for expanding local hospital services; but after considerable controversy the board voted Feb. 20 to reject the contract with Good Health.
