ASC To Consider Hosting Committee
A bill to create a student hosting committee was introduced before the All Student Council last night.
Sue McKinley, Ottawa sophomore, proposed the committee act as official host to visiting parents, alumni, student groups and official University guests.
THE GROUP would arrange for housing, entertainment and transportation for the visitors and would conduct tours of the campus.
The measure will be debated at the next ASC meeting.
The ASC also;
- Learned the University Theatre has agreed to increase the number of seats available to students without charge at Theatre productions from 438 to 636.
- Approved the appointment of four faculty members to the ASC Advisory Committee.
- Swore in three new members to fill vacancies left by resignations.
- Approved a number of minor changes in the group's election code.
Peggy Conner, Sacramento, Calif. senior and member of the Student Liaison Committee, reported University Theatre officials have agreed to admit more students without charge on a trial basis.
"THE NEW policy will be in effect this year, but it can be changed," she said. "Student attendance will have to be strong before any additional seats can be obtained."
The faculty members appointed to the advisory committee are Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor; James Gunn, administrative assistant to the chancellor; James Logan, dean of the School of Law; and Earl Nahring, assistant professor of political science.
GREGORY SWARTZ. Overland Park junior, and Nancy Lane, Hoisington senior, were named by University Partv to fill vacancies on the ASC.

replace Don Magdanz as fraternity
district representative. Magdanz

The amendments to the election code were introduced at the final ASC meeting of last term. The changes, most of which concerned style of wording, were approved without debate.

Last year eleven organizations were granted $5,100 in ASC funds out of a total budget of $8,028. Increased enrollment will provide the Council with an estimated $8,150 this year, Portwood said. The ASC is financed through the student activity fee.
Portwood said additional groups will probably apply for ASC funds this year.
Charles Portwood, Shawnee Mission senior, said the Budget Committee of the ASC will consider the requests that night.
Negro Expelled From Ole Miss
OXFORD, Miss. — (UPI) — The University of Mississippi today returned to all white satus.
The University's only Negro student, Cleve McDowell, 21, was expelled yesterday for carrying a pistol. The action, taken on the recommendation of the Student Judicial Council, returned to the deep South its unique system of totally segregated public schools.
McDowell had been admitted to Ole Miss without incident last June. The University was desegregated under federal court order the previous year and paved the way for the entrance of the school's first Negro student, James H. Meredith on Aug. 31, 1962.
Davis, former Syracuse great died of Lukemia earlier this year. He had signed to play professional football with the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, but did not get to play because of his illness.
Davis, the first Negro to receive the Heisman trophy, played in Memorial stadium in 1960 when the two teams last met. Syracuse won that game, 14-7.
KU Women to Fill Helmets For Davis Leukemia Fund

The women won't be standing by for action in the Jayhawker's home opener, however. They'll be serving to collect money for the Ernie Davis Lukemia Fund in connection with the Douglas County Cancer Society.
The day has been called Stadium Expansion Dedication day to commemorate the addition of 6,500 seats and the construction of a press box.
Charles Oldfather, professor of law and chairman of the K. U. Athletic board, is in charge of arrangements for the dedication. He said speakers during the halftime of the KU-SU game will be Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen, former KU basketball coach and athletic director when Memorial Stadium was built; A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, KU athletic director, and Gene Morgon of Kansas City, president of the KU Alumni Association.
About forty members of Cwens honory sophomore women's organization, will stand poised with football helmets during K. U.'s football game here Saturday with Syracuse University.
Prof. Oldfather said the brief ceremony will be a public recognition of the persons who have aided KU in the expansion project and the persons who have aided the KU program over the years.
the stadium, will be just a part o. Saturday's program.
Meredith's admission touched off rioting that killed two persons and brought federal troops to enforce the integration of the school. Meredith grazuated last June.
No public grade schools have been integrated in Mississippi, the only state with no racially-mixed classrooms.
McDowell, who lives in the Mississippi delta town of Drew, could appeal his expulsion to the State College Board but it is unlikely the board—which fought long and hard to keep the school segregated—would be sympathetic to his case.
"As far as I know I will be there but I have not conferred fully with my attorney," he told United Press International last night. "Naturally, I will follow the advice of my counsel."
After the University's decision was announced, Dowell told newsmen." I have no emotion to express whatsoever at this time." He said he would have no further statements until after Saturday's hearing.
McDowell faces a hearing on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a Justice of the Peace Court here Saturday but says he is not certain he will show up.
McDowell, an honor graduate of Jackson State College for Negroes, packed up and left the campus immediately after he was notified of his expulsion.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail plus a $100 fine. McDowell could forfeit the $250 bond his attorney posted for him before he was released from jail yesterday.
With the help of his attorney, Negro Jack Young of Jackson, and Charles Evers, state field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), McDowell loaded his belongings into his small foreign car and drove to his home at Drew.
