ASC Kills Motion On UDK Censor
A proposal that the All Student Council be against any form of censorship of the Daily Kansan was defeated last night by a 12-11 vote of the Council. ◎
Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1952
President Bill Wilson broke the 11 to 11 tie on the proposal made by Dennis Henderson, college junior, which left the Council in favor of delaying the proposal on the basis of prematurity.
dent publication may be put under an advisory board which would read Kansas editorials and make suggestions on editorial policy.
Daily hansan
The ASC publications committee was instructed to sit in on the next Kansas board meeting Nov. 25 when action will be taken.
Dana Anderson, college freshman and Council member, explained the stand taken by some of the Council members in regard to the Daily Kansan's recent political policy in saying:
Wilson brought up the Daily Kansan in explaining what had happened regarding the stand taken on the editorial page of the paper in the recent presidential election.
The editorial staff of the Daily Kansan supported the Democratic candidate for President, explaining that the stand represented the views of the staff only and was not necessarily intended to represent the newspaper's position or the general student opinion.
The Kansan is now under surveyance, Wilson said. He explained that the editorial policy of the stu-
"The Daily Kansan is not on a voluntary subscription basis. Its compulsory nature makes it different from an ordinary paper which has the right of freedom of the press. The students are entitled to have a voice in their own paper."
50th Year, No. 41
Marc Hurt, college sophomore,
Don Horttor, college senior,
Marilyn Hawkinson, college junior,
and Louis Helmeich, business senior,
were appointed to the temporary
ASC housing committee set up last year.
The Council also approved the appointments of Wendell Walker, graduate, Harold Miller, graduate, Skip Hills, college senior, Joe Woods, pharmacy junior, Shirley Thomson, education senior, and Bob Reed, college junior, to the recently created student labor committee.
Their function, Council President Bill Wilson said, will be to act as a liaison group and a coordinating agency for a larger committee consisting of representatives from the men's and women's Inter-dorm councils, the Inter-co-op council, Panhellenic, the Inter-fraternity council, Statewide activities, the Daily Kansan and others.
ASC Rejects 4 Bills; Make Appropriations
Dean Glasco, engineering junior, was confirmed as chairman of the new "little Hoover commission."
Of the 1,200, Woods continued, more than 70 illegal tickets were picked up by the Pinkerton guards at the stadium gates. Violators have been turned over to the disciplinary committee.
The All Student Council appropriated $250 to the YWCA, $400 to Statewide Activities, and $500 to the Engineering exposition last night.

A request for $100 by the Engi was defeated, principally because the finance committee felt that the ASC did not have the money.
A bill to raise the salaries of the Jayhawker editor and business manager from $350 to $450 per year was placed on first reading. It will be considered for passage at the next regular meeting of the Council Dec. 2.
Lyle Anderson, finance committee chairman, said that Mortar Board, senior women's honor society, had requested another hearing for an appropriation and set it for Nov. 18.
Anderson, acting for Louis Helmreich, head of the Campus Chest drive, also announced that Nov. 19 will be "Campus Chest day." Solicitors will be covering the campus and will provide the totals toward the goal which has been set for the drive: 100 per cent participation by the student body.
Joe Woods, chairman of the athletic committee, reported that approximately 1.200 tickets were issued to non-Jayhawkers for the KU-Oklahoma football game on the transferrable ID-card plan, and about 800 were exchanged on the Nebraska game.
Editor-in-Chief Decries Censorship
The opera "Carmen" will initiate the 50th season of the University Concert Course when the Charles L. Wagner Opera company appears in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. tonight.
The part of Escamillo will be played by Eduardo Rael, young American baritone. He is native of Taos, N.M. Several years ago he made his appearance with the Chau-tauqua Opera company and has since appeared in leading baritone roles of the New Opera company in New York and with the New York City Center Opera company.
Beverly Sills, young American singer, will be seen in the role of Micaela. An extra feature of the production will be the appearance of the Spanish dancers, Trini and Manolo.
Albert Delhaye will appear as Don Jose. He is the leading tenor of the Theater de la Monnaie, the Royal Opera House of Brussels. His appearance marks his debut in the United States.
Trini Sinclair was born in Houston, Texas. She went to New York and studied with Helene Veola. While studying Flamenco dancing she met Manolo Barros and they formed a ballet team.
The opera will star Lydia Ibarrondo, young Spanish mezzo-soprano, as Carmen. She has appeared in many operas with the New York City Opera company and the Cincinnati Summer opera.
The opera will be conducted by Ernesto Barbini, coach and conductor on the musical staff of the Metropolitan Opera company.
'Carmen' Opens Concert Course
"I am sorry the All Student Council is even considering censorship," Roger Yarrington, Daily Kansan editor-in-chief, said today.
Mr. Barros was born in Sevilla, Spain. He was brought to this country while a child and was educated in New York.
Students will be admitted by presenting their ID cards. Other programs on the Concert series this year will include Gina Bachauer, Greek pianist; the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra; the Ballet Theater, and Robert Rousseville, leading tenor of the New York Opera company.
The Pachacamac party, jolted into action by a stinging defeat in the last All Student Council session and reinforced by the newly-elected freshman representatives, presented a united front
"It seems a violation of the democratic principles upon which our student government is based if the Council favors control of the Kansan editorial policy," he added.
Editor Yarrington believes the $ ^{6}$ Council's concern is based on two points-editorial opinion and the news play in the Kansan.
"Our endorsement of Gov. Stevenson for the presidency, although based on honest belief of the editorial writers, evidently does not seem legitimate to some," he said.
The editorials were preceded by a statement on Oct. 9 in which the editors pledged to "print all sides of any controversial matter within space limitations." "However," the statement continued, "the members of the editorial staff are frank in the anonymous endorsement of
Gov. Adalia E. Stevenson for president." That statement represented the opinion of the editorial writers only, Yarrington said.
"The editorials on the housing situation also have brought many objections. Bill Wilson and Dean Woodruff both have spoken out against the Kansan for the series. They say it is bad publicity for the University and will harm future enrollment.
The Kansan is the student newspaper and feels its responsibility to its readers, he said, but it also tries to put out a good newspaper in line with the principles which the writers are taught.
Yarrington said Wilson also has complained of how the Kansar plays its news stories.
"Our comments on the burning of TNE in the football field earlier in the year also were called bad public relations despite the fact the story had already appeared in the Lawrence Journal-World and other papers."
Yarrington said the Kansan board, the governing body of the Daily Kansan, is attempting to work out a plan whereby the editorial policy will be the product of the entire Kansan staff instead of only the editorial writers.
Two committees are being proposed. One would be a student-faculty committee from the Journalism school for discussion of editorial policy, and the other an all-student advisory board representing the entire student body to evaluate the Daily Kansan every semester.
We welcome criticism, he added,
but space and time place certain
limitations on a newspaper, and it
is very hard to please everyone with
the treatment the Kansan is able to
give every organization or activity.
Ike to Meet With Dewey
Augusta, Ga.—(U.P.) President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower will confer here Friday with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York about his forthcoming trip to Korea and what the Eisenhower staff described as "other policy matters."
Whether these "other policy matters" involved a cabinet post for the New York governor, Gen. Eisenhower's representatives here declined to say.
James Hagerty, press secretary to the President-elect, also told reporters that Eisenhower would see Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio) before leaving for Korea if the senator desires such a meeting, but that no date had been set.
Sen. Taft probably will see Eisenhower in New York some time next week, but not necessarily before the President-elect has his Washington conference with President Truman.
on four bills which came before the Council for final reading last night.
Proposed amendments to liberalize the initiative, referendum and recall procedures, to set up a permanent scholarship committee and to amend ASC bill No. 4, on parking, were defeated.
A proposal to create open primaries in all campus elections was compromised by making the freshman primary an open primary and leaving the machinery for the spring primary untouched.
The referendum issue was fought bitterly by the FACTS contingent, which contended that the bill as it now stands is "unworkable."
As it now stands, one-fourth of the student body must sign a petition to call a referendum election, start an initiative or instigate a recall on the ASC president or delegate-at-large.
The proposed change would have reduced that figure from 25 to 19 per cent, or on the basis of the present enrollment, from 1,700 to 680.
Pachacamac retorted with "You can always find 680 rabble-rousers if you look hard enough."
FACTS stuck to its original argument. Mahlon Ball, Floor floor leader, moved to disaffrench the organizational representatives.
FACTS supporters contended that it is impossible to find 1,700 students who are interested in the affairs of student government.
Ball's action drew a blast of fire from FACTS. Don Horton, college senior said "I'll be darned if I can see how we are promoting the best interests of the University and the students by hagging over petty little issues like this (disenfranchisement)."
Marilyn Hawkinson, college junior, countered with "I'm an organizational representative, but it's on the books that the elected members of the Council can disenfranchise us any time they see fit, and if it's in the books that the elected members of the Council can disenfranchise us any time they see fit, and if it's in the constitution I don't see what we can do about it."
The bill to establish a permanent scholarship committee was voted down. Leah Ross, college senior, was appointed chairman of the present temporary committee and Wilson said she would be instructed to set up and operate a course evaluation poll.
Council President Bill Wilson found it difficult to maintain order during the half-hour-long discussion. The bill was defeated on a roll-call vote. 11-9.
The amendment to ASC bill No. 4 was rejected on the grounds that the duties which would have been thereby expressly delegated to the parking committee are for the most part already being done.
It would have charged the committee with "promoting better parking facilities at the University" and "anticipating future needs."
Varsity Dance Set For Union Friday
The first Student Union Activities Varsity dance will be held between 9 p.m. and midnight Friday on the upper level of the Hawk's Nest.
Everyone is invited to the dance." Phil Kassebaum, SUA director said. "The dance is primarily for the Independent student who has missed out on Union activities due to construction."
