Madison Murray, college sophomore, is still unconscious, and may remain so for days, according to the KU Medical center in Kansas City.
Murray was critically injured in an automobile accident Saturday, Feb. 23, and has remained unconscious since.

Members of the committee are Loretta Cooley, college junior; Vernie Theden, college sophomore; Suzanne Thompson, college junior; Donald Horton, college junior; Robert Longstaff, journalism junior; Clocey Wiley, college sophomore.
Meanwhile at the University, a steering committee of three Jay Janes and three Kukus has been selected to continue plans for the "Matt" Murray Benefit dance. It will be held Friday following the KU-K-State game in the Military Science building drill hall.
He responds to certain stimuli but his condition is essentially the same, the Medical center reported. There has been no operation as yet.

Proposed Reorganization Of ASC Follows Bipartisan Lines
Bv BOB STEWART
Reorganization of the All Student council has been drawn up on "bi-partisan lines," according to Bob Casad, former ASC member, who has been backing the idea since the past semester.
"It was not drawn up by Greeks or independents alone, but by both," he said. The parties have been working on the plan, suggesting changes acceptable to the ASC.
The plan would reorganize the method of representation in the
As the constitution now stands, representation is on a school basis. Representatives are elected from the various schools of the University.
ror instance, those enrolled in the college are represented by a college student and those in the School of Engineering have their representatives.
In addition to these, there are ASC members from campus organizations, such as Associated Women students and YMCA.
The new plan would base representation on residence-districts instead of schools. All students living in the same type of residence would be represented in the ASC by members living in similar housing. This means that students living in fraternities would be represented by ASC members from fraternities, and those living in University houses
would be represented by members living in University housing.
Another proposal of the new plan would eliminate organization representatives.
The reorganization plan began when leaders of NOW Inter-fraternity council, and Pachacamac, invited leaders of FACTS independent political party, to confer on possible reorganization of the Council.
The purpose of this project was to eliminate the "Greek-independent"
Cased said that continual wrangling between political factions served to make the ASC ineffective in much of its business, and the
yearly ASC election only made the split worse.
Campus leaders felt that political candidates should be elected for their views on issues facing the Council, and not only on the fact that the candidate was a Greek or independent.
Casad said that having representatives elected from residence districts by popular vote of members of those districts would do away with control of the election by political machines.
The drawback of this proposed plan was that it would be too easy for unaffiliated students to control the ASC. However, Casad explained, their interest in campus government
is generally low because it is difficult for them to organize.
The next move was to set a limit to the number of representatives so that no single residence group could control the Council.
Two separate plans were presented to the ASC, and the Council appointed committees to study them. One of these committees recommended a plan based on residence-district which the Council voted down. This plan would have allowed only residents in a district to vote for their ASC members. The final approved plan allows all students to vote for representatives from all districts.
