College Assembly Hurt By Student Disinterest
By DEBIE GUMP
Kenan Staff Recorder
Some gifts are never appreciated, and so far the College Assembly hasn't been an exception.
In the three years since students received the right to 20 per cent representation on University committees, student participation in the College Assembly has been disappointing, Jerry Lewis, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said last week.
"Participation in the assembly certainly hasn't been at the level of 20 per cent," he said. "Last year we didn't even have a full quota. Everyone who got an electric
College Assembly elections will be April 25 and 26 and a change from the past is the goal of the election committee, according to Ed Rolfs, Junction City sophomore and a member of the Undergraduate Educational Policies and Procedures Committee.
The deadline for nominations is April 23.
Assume non students and administrators generally agreed that students could weld a deciding influence on assembly operations, they also agreed that the high cost of welding would be an obstacle.
Attendance at assembly meetings has been poor, Rolfs said, because of a lack of issues.
Rofla said the election committee would send letters to the presidents of residence halls and scholarship halls and would place ads in the Kansas to try to
"We've got to make sure we have some things comeup that will make it worth the member's time to attend," he said.
Ambrose Sarick, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that the tediousness of assembly work discouraged students.
"Student participation is great," he said, "but it means participation. It takes patience."
Alison Saricks, Lawrence senior and member of the Committee on Faculty Appointments, Promotions and Tenure, said apathy was the cause of the at-
She said the real work of the assembly was done in committee meetings and those students who weren't on committee considered themselves ineffectual.
"They don't feel as if they have much say in what goes on, but I think they're wrong," she said.
Elva Huslig, Ellinwood junior and a member of the assembly, agreed.
She admitted, however, that assembly meetings were sometimes tiring.
Howard Bumgartley, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said students were an influential part of the College Assembly.
"On many issues in the College Assembly when the vote is close, the students control." Baumeartel said.
He said students didn't realize how powerful the assembly was in academic matters. The Baccheler of General Studies degree came about, he said, largely as a result.
Baumgartel also said students' effectiveness was lost by misdirected complaints.
"People go to the wrong places to have influence," he said.
The students themselves are the problem in the assembly, according to Stanley Witty. Independence, music and assembly members.
"Faculty interest and concern remain constant, while student involvement is sporadic," he said.
Wint, who said he ran for the assembly in reaction to what he saw as student apathy, noted that the amount of time spent on parliamentary procedure and the number of committees he was part of were also high.
Dial Shenkel, executive vice chancellor, said faculty members who faced the rest of their lives at the university, including students who felt they were not well supported. A benefit had to be taken by the students to help with living expenses.
Shankel presided over the assembly last year while George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was on leave.
Lewis agreed with Shankel and said students were discouraged by time-consuming processes in the assembly.
"Many students look upon governing systems as something where changes are made very easily," he said. "They get frustrated with the amount of time it takes
However, Lewis said, students have been extremely effective on assembly committees.
"Students on the EPPC have been very effective and have been listened to with great interest," he said.
There are also students like David Steele, Stamford, Conn., junior, who said he had never been interested in government and never wanted to be a member of the assembly.
Steele said he had been asked once to run for the assembly but had replied that he'd think about it. That was the last he had heard until after the election.
"I saw my name in the paper one day and I saw I was elected," Steele said. Steele said he had never attended an assembly meeting.
If prices of synthetic fibers continue to rise, students may lose their "easy-care" shirts or be forced to pay higher prices for them.
Lawrence merchants said last week that they hadn't experienced shortages and that supply chain issues were the main concern.
Shirt Shortage a Pressing Problem
However, shipments have been delayed in many cases, and this could mean a shortage of the equipment.
Most synthetic fibers, including polyester the biggest thing in wash 'n' wear shirts~have petroleum-derived chemical bases, and manufacture of syntheses could be affected by the energy shortage.
Prices of petroleum-based fibers have been increased 6 to 10 per cent by some major producers, according to reports. As a result, cotton and other natural fibers may be substituted for synthetics in the composition of some finished goods.
A shortage of certain raw materials such as ethylene glycol has become acute enough that some polyester producers have had to curtail production.
Cotton prices also have risen substantially and are expected to continue the trend.
This means more wrinkles.
U. S. cotton production fell behind last year because of flooding in Louisiana, and a spate of fires in Texas contributed to the
At Mister Guy there are many high-quality cotton shirts on the racks. A shirt that sold for $18 a few months ago is now priced at $22.
Roger Quakenbush, manager of the men's wear department at Weaver's Department Store at 901 Massachusetts St. said that he would be making either synthetic or in cotton and that prices were about the same as last fall. He said prices would be a little higher next fall.
"We've been hearing rumblings about shortages for some time," he said, "but it
Ken Whitehead, manager of the Town Shop at 83 Massachusetts St., said the most pressing problem was getting cotton shirts. He said he bought shirts to be $1 to $2 more than on sartend dresses.
Prices of synthetic shirts have increased, according to Al Hack, manager of the University Shop at 1420 Crescent Road, but only by about the same amount as usual.
Mike McKay, men's wear department manager at J.C. Penney Co. at 830 Massachusetts St., said he didn't anticipate a shortage in the near future.
"Cotton is available if you look for it."

Search Committee Formed To Replace KU Attorney
A search committee has been formed to a replacement for Charles Oldfather, raising funds.
Applications and letters specifying qualifications for University attorney are available from Richard Van Ende, Esq. or the Office of the Chancellor in 223 Strom Hall
Earl B. Shurtz, professor of law and committee chairman, said recently the University was an equal-opportunity employer who qualified few people were encouraged to apply.
To quality, an applicant must be a
team member and must have the
knowledge and authorization to practice law in
Kansas. The applicant must demonstrate a superior ability to perform the functions of the office and should be familiar with the University, its activities and governance.
The duties of the University attorney encompass nearly all legal affairs of the University. The assistance of the University attorney often is sought in resolving conflicts that have no precise legal content, but do have underlying aspects of fair dealing.
Besides Shurtz, the committee includes Janet Starchian, acting assistant professor of English; Russell Bradt, professor of mathematics; Martin Jones, budget officer; Von Ende; and James Cox, first-year law student.

As a large buyer, however, Penny's does have an advantage because it buys shirts by the millions and a year or two in advance, be said.
A shortage of easy-care synthetic clothes could inconvenience students, many of whom have neither the time nor the equipment to iron shirts.
Students are asked whether they would pay more for shirts or buy the kinds that you wear.
