Not all who try succeed; one of many who came
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. volunteered a pint of his blood in Joseph R. Pearson hall Thursday, but became one of the many that day whose blood was not taken. Although the 444 pints collected over the three day drive were short of the Red Cross quota of 600 pints, results were better than they had been in years.
Summer jobs taken early
Mrs. Mynena Leith, editor and publisher of the Summer Employment Directory of the United States who recently addressed the Associated Collegiate Press convention, has written an article designed to aid students who want a summer job.
In the article, Mrs. Leith warned students to look for a job early. She said December is a good month to start the search, and anyone who doesn't have a job lined up by June 1 should just forget it.
Mrs. Leith said there are 80,000 summer positions available in the

United States and an additional 20,000 in Europe. Students who want a summer job should first consider the type of employment they want, and then decide whether they want work to make money or experience in the field.
The next decision, Mrs. Leith said, is deciding whether to stay at home or to travel. Summer employment can be found in business and industry, national parks, resorts, amusement parks, restaurants and many other areas all over the world.
Mrs. Leith suggested when one applies for a summer job, the student should be "business-like" and always include references.
Landlord talks of problems
The Student Senate Off-Campus Housing Committee met Tuesday to discuss problems that Lawrence landlords have with tenants. Mrs. Nathan Lynch, 1216 Louisiana St., a landlord, explained to the committee landlords as well as tenants have valid complaints.
Commenting about substandard housing is not fit to live in. However, some tenants can render anything uninhabitable. I think students should be aware these houses represent a sizeable investment. A lot of hard feelings on the part of tenants are nothing more than the result of a landlord's efforts to maintain his property. I'm tired of being a janitor. I don't want dirty people."
Mrs. Lynch also complained about theft of furnishings. "You can't leave anything loose or it is
Collection of rent is also a major problem. "Some tenants are well aware of the obligations of the landlord to the tenant, but don't seem to realize landords also have bills to pay," Mrs. Lynch said. "If I can't collect the rent, I can't pay my bills."
stolen," she said.
Mrs. Lynch also said that many tenants don't comply with laws and signed contracts. Kansas law requires tenants to give landlords a 30-day notice if they are going to move. This allows sufficient time for the landlord to find other tenants.
"Students often move out without giving any advance notice, sometimes without even paying the last month's rent," Mrs. Lynch said. "One tenant of mine last year moved out and didn't let me know until five days later."
Signed contracts are legally
binding, but aren't respected by some tenants. "A contract is a two-sided agreement," she said. "If I fulfill my half of the agreement, then I expect my tenant to fulfill his half."
The Off-Campus Housing Committee discussed Mrs. Lynch's complaints and agreed communication between landlords and tenants must be improved. The committee asked Mrs. Lynch to help them set up a code stating what tenants and landlords should expect from each other.
The committee also assigned specialized problems for study to committee members such as foreign student housing, discrimination, publicity, structural hazards and legal problems.
University Council passes amendments
Halina Pawl, Topeka senior and committee vice-chairman, said anyone having housing problems can contact the committee for assistance.
The University Council passed a series of proposed amendments to the Senate Code Thursday which would remove the Chancellor from the chairmanship of several University bodies. All the amendments will be sent to the University Senate for final action.
The amendments stemmed from a request by Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, that he be relieved from chairing the University Senate, Faculty Senate, and University Council. Chalmers said he would rather be an ex-officio of each group so he could freely express his views on matters and avoid awkward situations resulting from conflicts of interest on controversial issues.
One amendment provided that the presiding officer of the University Council be chosen from council members, and that he also be chairman of the University Senate. The presiding officer of the Faculty Council would then serve as chairman of the Faculty Senate.
After the meeting, Mrs. Lynch commented on the committee, "I think they're very constructive," she said. "With a little cooperation from landlords, I think we can reach an understanding."
Another proposal said the dean of student affairs, dean of men and dean of women become non-voting participants in the Student Senate, rather than voting members as is now the case.
