ASC Reverses; $100 to AURH
Bv Fred Frailev
The All Student Council gave the Association of University Residence Halls a $100 appropriation at 2:15 this morning, climaxing a seven-and-a-half hour budget meeting.
Reversing a decision made against the allotment six hours earlier, the ASC granted the funds to the AURH to aid in financing "Whatchamacallit" dances.
ASC Chairman John Stuckey, Pittsburgh senior, cast the deciding vote in both instances after the council twice deadlocked on the issue. 13-13.
ACTUALLY, the AURH appropriation was $94.23. After making preliminary decisions on grants to 12 student organizations, the ASC found itself $91 over its record budget of $8,300.
At this point, Harry Bretschneider, Kansas City, Mo., senior, moved that the AURH be given $100 and the resulting $191 deficit be charged proportionately against the appropriations of all organizations except the ASC and People-to-People. Bretschneider's motion passed, 14-12.
Then, Larry Bast, Topeka sophomore, proposed to eliminate the AURH grant. The vote was a tie, and Stuckey, who as chairman may vote only in case of a tie, decided in favor of the AURH.
Six hours earlier in the session, Stuckey had broken the first tie by voting against a $240 appropriation to the AURH.
"MY FIRST vote was based upon personal feeling against the AURH application," Stuckey explained afterward. "The second time, however, I felt the council wanted the money to go to the AURH."
The AURH's original request for $450, none of which the ASC Finance and Auditing Committee recommended, was the first item discussed and a major source of conflict between council members.
Jim Tschechtelin, Shawnee Mission junior and AURH president, told the council that the "Whatchamacallis" were begun last year in response to the University administration's criticism of barn parties.
"THE AURR TOOK it upon itself to provide an alternative," he said. "No other group has tried anything like this on a regular basis."
Tschechtelin said the dances, held in the large residence halls, are open to all students.
Tieszen said the AURH should finance the dances, "which it takes upon itself to hold."
ANOTHER BUDGET request which the finance committee did not recommend was also partially granted. The ASC voted $94.23 to its Human Rights Committee to send two delegates to the National Conference on Race and Religion in Washington, D.C., next month.
Cordell Meeks, Kansas City senior and KU civil rights coordinator, asked the ASC to give the eight-man delegation at least a portion of the $225 it requested because of the relevance the conference will have on campus problems.
Several council members said the finance committee's opinion that the race and religion conference is not connected with student government was illogical.
GREG TURNER, Seattle, Wash., senior, said the ASC should have had a voice in choosing the delegates, who were picked by other groups. He then moved that the $94.23 be given to the HRC instead of to the delegation as a whole.
All organizations except the ASC and the Engineering School Council were granted at least the amount recommended by the financing committee. The ASC appropriation was lowered $400 to $3,183 through $200 cuts in the elections and printing funds.
The finance committee recommended $400 for the Engineering School Council. This was trimmed by the ASC first to $300 and then to $282.69 when the $191 over-appropriation was distributed.
People-to-People was not included in the proportional distribution of the deficit because it was given $2.000 by the University in a special grant which the ASC could not allot to other groups.
Other appropriations approved were:
Current Events, $942.30; Business School Council, $186.58; Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, $169.61; Mortar Board, $200; Radio Production Center, $723.35; American Pharmaceutical Association, $188.46, and Student Bar Association, $235.55.

Playboy Philosophy Dissected at PBOAE Lecture
Bv Clare Casey
The Playboy philosophy of Hugh Hefner, editor of Playboy magazine, received detailed examination last night at the second lecture of the Philosophical Bases of Absolutely Everything (PBOAE).
John North, assistant instructor of sociology, and Myra Olstead, assistant professor of English, gave a report on the "Playboy Philosophy" as they understood it after reading Playboy magazine.
North said he had reviewed the magazine in the hopes "of finding the naked truth of things." He said he found Playboy presented a bold, fearless, and revealing portraital of the facts.
NORTH SAID the magazine is based primarily on "lookership" rather than readership.
North said the underlying purpose of the Playboy philosophy is to breach this gap between "lookership" and readership.
"At the same time, the magazine is designed for the young, urban male who can afford the tastes described in the articles," he said. "The main emphasis is placed on truth and beauty as it is concerned with the liberal mind."
He said Hefner seemed concerned with three basic ideas: religion, censorship and sex. But, North said Hefner's interest in religion was only to the extent it influences the attitudes of sex, and his interest in censorship goes only so far as it repress the ideas that reflect sex.
"THEREFORE, we see that Hefner is mainly interested in sex," North said.
However, Prof. Olstead said, "Mr. Hefner's philosophy is for the young, but unfortunately it is assimilated by youngsters of all ages."
However, Prof. Olstead said.
prof. Olstead said one reason a young man is attracted to women is
for the purpose of further defining his masculinity. She also said there is a constant fear in young men of the failure which comes with sex.
"It appears that this fear of failure is what Hefner is against." Prof. Olstead said. "The sense of wonder and beauty in sex is taken away by Hefner for he makes it artificial, and the young man loses his sense of natural discovery."
PROF. OLSTEAD said Hefner presents no philosophy, but merely a discussion. At the same time, she said he misunderstands the historical issues behind sex and love and, he places too much emphasis on the medieval attitudes toward sex.
Weather
Skies will be partly cloudy tomorrow with slightly warmer temperatures expected. The low tonight will be 42 to 48.
Prof. Olstead referred to Hefner's Playboy magazine as a "curiosity book for beginners."
"He (Hefner) tells the beginner what he must do and what he must wear if he is to be successful." Prof. Olstead said. "If everything then fails there is always the 'come to the laboratory.'"
PROF. OLSTEAD said Hefner seems to narrow his words down to the basic relationship between men and women for the simple reason that it promoted his magazine and clubs.
Prof. Olstead said Playboy does not warn the young men of the legal aspects or the social responsibilities that he is facing.
"Mr. Hefner is not a selfish scholar seeking truth, but a man trying to say what he knows his audience wants to hear, because it will put money in his pocket and increase his ego," she said.
North said we are living in a world of double standards in the sense that we are preaching and practicing at the same time.
"MY COLLEGE DAYS were spent on 40 acres of Christian atmosphere." North said. "If what went on today, should have happened then, the 40 acres would have plowed themselves up."
North added, however, the gap between practice and preaching in sex is slowly becoming narrower.
"Today we are doing less preaching and more practicing," North said. "Even the religious groups are undergoing change. Recently, the Methodist church decided social drinking was acceptable.
"Today, we are living with three generations, and new adjustments take time. The older generation is always wanting to mai-tain the status quo."
