ASC Abandons Move For ID Exchange Cut
A motion to reduce the cost of transferring ID cards from $1 to 25 cents was introduced in the Senate of the All Student Council last night, but the motion was withdrawn when it was shown that the student athletic committee, meeting with the director of athletics, has the authority to establish transfer rates.
Two new bills, one to amend ASC' constitutional procedure in the election of class officers and the other to require all candidates for Homecoming queen to have completed one semester at KU, also were brought before the ASC last night.
Changes in class election procedure would replace a general election with a convocation election for upperclassmen in April and for entering freshmen in the fall. The amendment also would combine the offices of secretary and treasurer for all classes.
The election convocation for upperclassmen would be presided over by the incumbent class presidents and the chairman of the ASC elections committee would preside at the freshmen election.
The proposal would allow the election committee of the ASC to appoint senior or graduate students to distribute, collect, and count ballots at the convocation elections.
The election amendment also states that a political party would not be allowed to endorse any candidate.
Nominating, which would be limited to nominations from the floor in freshmen elections, would be done by a committee of five, appointed by the class president, in upperclass elections. The nominating committee would select two candidates for each office.
Candidates for Homecoming queen could not be transfer students, if the bill proposed by the ASC House is passed, but both freshmen and transfer students would be eligible for Jayhawk queen, since the proposed requirement is one semester's residence.
A resolution to set up a special fund from the ASC budget in the Business office to be used as needed for the expenses of cheerleaders was passed by the Senate and rejected
by the House, in other action last night.

Briton, Swede Lose Debate
The proposition of the parliamentary debate was "Resolved, that Uncle Sam's flirtations with Canada pose a real threat to John Bull." Derek Scott mentioned "American underground subversive movements to make Canada dependent on the U.S," but Varughese said there is "no one-way traffic across the border . . U.S. and Canada have strived for a united system of education."
Morris Paulson, graduate student from Canada, added that "Canadians are thankful both to the Commonwealth and to the U.S. for their free trade...there is no present threat to annex Canada as a 49th state of the Union."
The vote of the audience turned
down the proposition with 21 persons voting against it, 10 in favor of it, and two abstaining.
