Interviews Tonight For Frosh Council
Interviews tonight for positions on a proposed freshman council indicate the fulfillment of a campaign promise by the class president.
Larry Bast, Topeka, feeling that past class officers were inactive, is hoping the idea will not only keep the officers busy but will serve the students effectively.
THE COUNCIL is to be made up of 12 representatives from the class. Interviews for council membership will be tonight in Alcove A of the Kansas Union between 7:30 and 9:30.
Bast said this morning 30 students had made appointments for interviews with himself and the other officers.
The other officers are: Vice-President Wayne Resnick, Whitewater Secretary Mary Meek, Wichita; and Treasurer Carolyn Hoke, Prairie Village.
THE COUNCIL, which will meet every two weeks, will be comprised of the freshmen officers and eight other representatives—two from mens dormitories, two from men's fraternities, one from scholarship halls, and three from freshmen women's dormitories.
He said the purpose of the council was to establish a form of freshman government and promote class unity. "The council will organize class parties and a service project to benefit the University or the community of Lawrence," said Bast.
"There will be one representative for every 200-250 freshmen," Bast said.
COMMENTING ON on the proposed council, John Baumgarner. Tulsa, Okla., junior, and last year's sophomore class president, questioned the need for class unity.
"Afterall, there are 150 other organizations on campus to regulate student activities," he said. "Since a class loses at least 50 per cent of its members by the time it becomes a senior class, I think the only class that really needs to be organized is the senior class."
Bast said the lack of successful activities in previous freshmen classes was probably due to a lack of communications among class members.
TO REMEDY THIS, Bast said the council will be divided into a publicity, activities and finance committees to guarantee that projects are carried out successfully.
As another of his campaign promises, Bast said the council will write a constitution or a charter to establish a permanent system of freshman government for future classes.
"We will also work for financial appropriations to classes from the All Student Council and a class officers forum." Bast added.
Since their election, the freshmen officers have functioned independently of a sponsor. "I talked to Richard Wintermote, (Associate Secretary of the Alumni Association) recently," said Bast. "He said he would sponsor us and help us in any way he could—perhaps by talking to the administration."
The forum, he explained, made up of all class officers, would meet to discuss class problems.
VATICAN CITY — (UPI) — Pope John XXIII worked in his Vatican apartments today preparing for a Christmas which he says may be his last.
Christmas May Be His Last, Pope Says
No one would say whether the 91-year-old Pentiff was referring to his illness or merely the normal toll of time when he alluded to death in a public audience yesterday.
However, Vetican sources said his remarks should not be taken to mean he has taken a turn for the worse.
IT WAS THE POPE'S first public audience since he became ill two weeks ago with what was said to be stomach trouble and anemia.
He told the group he hoped the Ecumenical Council could finish its work by Christmas 1933.
"I may not be here but if I'm not, there certainly will be another Pope." he said.
While the words were serious and his face was deeply lined he spice with a smile and in a light-hearted manner.
Today and for the next few days the Pope will remain in his rooms working on the Christmas speech he plans to broadcast Dec. 22.
LAST NIGHT Polish Primate Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski left for his Communist-ruled homeland after what he described as two "really happy months" attending the Ecumenical Council.
The Pope paid special attention to Wyszynski since he is the only Primate able to operate behind the Iron Curtain.
In a sermon in his Titular Church in Rome four days ago, the Cardinal said that the people of the world "implore liberty of conscience, of faith and of religion . . . without which there is no peace between nations."
