KU Promotion Planned by ASC
The Statewide Activities committee of the All Student Council plans to take a more active role in university affairs this year according to Vince Bilotta, field secretary of the Alumni Association and advisor to the group.
"We want to make information available to the high school student that their home state university offers a high quality program that is hard to beat anywhere," Bilotta said.
COUNTY AND state chairman have been chosen from interviews and applications filed by interested student who wish to promote their university in their home counties and states.
Bilotta pointed out that the purpose of the program was not to recruit but to inform.
Bilotta said the committee will be working with Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and "Project Bootstrap."
The committee has set up a speaker's bureau under the direction of Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission senior. The bureau will arrange to have qualified students speak to high schools and civic organizations throughout the state.
THE OVERALL policy making and planning of the group will be done by the executive committee which is made up of: Tom Hamill, Colby senior and chairman of statewide activities; Whitman, who is vice president in charge of the speaker's bureau; Gerald Bell, McLouth senior and vice president in charge of county and state chairmen; Gary Grazda, Kansas City sophomore,
AWS Sponsors Program For High School Leaders
A day filled with faculty discussions, a fashion show, campus tours, and a student panel is in store for 250 to 300 Kansas high school senior girls Nov. 16.
High School Leadership Day, sponsored by the Associated Women Students, will provide an opportunity for outstanding high school seniors to become acquainted with KU. Selected on scholarship and leadership, the girls are being encouraged through this program to attend college, preferably KU.
Pam Rice, Wichita senior and chairman of the Leadership Day committee, said activities are scheduled between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
"We decided against a two-day program like the one held last year so that as many girls as possible can come. Finding places for the girls to stay overnight would limit the number we could invite," Miss Rice explained.
One - hundred - twenty freshmen women and 45 CWENS will act as hostesses to the high school girls. "But we hope everyone on campus will be especially friendly that day." Miss Rice said. "Everyone can help sell KU to these outstanding seniors."
After registration and coffee in the Kansas Union, the girls will be
greeted by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, Emily Taylor, dean of women; Ann Leffler, Pittsburg senior and AWS president; and Miss Rice.
At noon, a luncheon will be given at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, during which the College Fashion Board will present an informal fashion show.
FOLLOWING THE luncheon, the freshmen hostesses will conduct tours through a freshman residence hall and a scholarship hall.
A panel discussion on opportunities at KU will be held in the afternoon. Dean Taylor will moderate, and Miss Leffler, Hilda Gibson, Lawrence senior and Mortar Board president; Kay Lutjen, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore and CWEN president; Barbara Edwards, Daly City, Cal, senior and Panhellenic president; and JoLynne Talbott, Shawnee Mission senoir and AWS House of Representatives president will take part.
Members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon social fraternity will entertain with several musical numbers, and the program will conclude with an informal gathering in the Ballroom, at which presidents of various campus organizations will be available to answer questions.
"Most of the work will be done by the county chairmen," said Hamill. "Thanksgiving vacation will provide them with the opportunity to go home and do their work."

Bilotta pointed out that the success of the organization will depend upon the action of the chairmen and the leadership of the committee members. He said that there will be a general meeting to inform everyone on what is expected of them, but from that time on they will be more or less on their own.
Norman Abelson, associate professor of voice, will present a recital at 8 p.m., Nov. 13, in Swarthout Recital Hall.
"WE HOPE TO make the role of the chairmen a challenge to the individual's leadership," said Bilotta.

Before coming to KU, Prof. Abelson was a teacher at the University of Minnesota for six years.

Prof. Abelson has sung more than 50 performances in opera in the United States and Europe and many oratorio performances. ...
He holds degrees from Washington State University, and Columbia University and has studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and the Academy of Music in Siena, Italy.
Scarves to Scribble on
Ballpoint pens have now gone to the head—in novel "scribble" head scarves which come with pens. Why? For autographs, phone numbers, or whatever else strikes a young lady's fancy.
Whitman said that in the past the program has lacked real leadership. "When the leaders lie down, the whole group will," he said. "Bilotta has been most helpful, and it is essential that we have this enthusiasm."

PAPERBACKS ON OPERA
The committee has eliminated the convocation that has been held in the past years to acquaint students with the role that they may play in the organization.
"WE DO NOT really need the convocation," said Whitman. "It is a lot easier to work with 150 students than with several thousand."
