SUA Provides Much Social Opportunity
The Student Union Activities (SUA) offers the KU student an opportunity to further his social, recreational and cultural life, said John Neal, Hutchinson senior and president of the SUA.
This year as we execute our philosophy we are planning concerts and a feature speaker series. A jazz festival and contest is planned for the spring of 1964.
FRANK BURGE, director of the Kansas Union said, "SUA is a dynamic organization doing a big and important job for the students."
Burge said the SUA had always been closely tied to the Union in expansion and progress.
SUA is an arm of the student union, as the name implies, and most if its activity centers around the Union. It affects both the city of Lawrence and people associated with the University.
Burge said he did not know what the Union would do without SUA to represent and carry out the students' ideas.
THE KANSAS Union was finished in 1928 and the SUA was organized about the same time.
TODAY THE SUA is composed of over 600 students who are interested in participating in SUA projects. Today, the SUA is governed by a board composed of ten chairmen and four officers.
Officers are Neal, president; Breon Mitchell, Salina junior, vice-president; Bruce Null, Grand Island, Neb, junior, treasurer, and Melinda Hall, Coffeyville senior, secretary.
CHAIRMEN ARE Ruth Mover. Shawnee Mission senior; Bob Mourier, Creendale, Mo., junior; Dave Cassell, Bartlesville, Okla., junior; Phil McKnight, Wichita senior; Tom Ericson, Leavenworth senior; Suzi Reynolds, Wellington senior; Nancy Lindecum, Prairie Village junior; Sonra Ewald, Kansas City, Mo.
senior, and Holly Walters, Prairie Village senior.
Each chairman is responsible for a certain area of operations while the board itself is responsible to the Kansas Union Operating Board.
The Kansas Union operating board is composed of representatives of the ASC,union staff, faculty,alumni association and SUA board.
THE OPERATING board is also responsible for working out and approving the budget of the SUA.
According to Neal, most of the events sponsored by the SUA are free and when there is a charge it is kept as low as possible.
He said charges for events are only necessary when expenses are high. In determining prices, SUA strives only to meet the total cost of the programs.
THE ACTIVITIES of SUA include forums, dances, receptions, concerts, exhibits, special events such as the SUA Carnival, tournaments, and films.
This year the SUA Carnival will return between $1,500 to $7,000 in profits to the living groups which participated
SUA present annually the Homecoming and Relay dances, spring concerts, election night parties, Chancellor's Reception, the activities carnival, and the traditions dance.
