Page 2 University Daily Kansan Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1952 ASC Representatives To Vote On Changes Thursday night at the meeting of the All Student Council, there will be attempts made to "bring this reorganization business to a head," according to James Logan, ASC president. Student representatives will be asked at that time to vote one way or another. Either they will favor one of the proposed reorganization plans, or they will favor retaining the plan of student representation for the Council found in the present constitution of ASC. Yet, when the votes are being cast on the issue, whose opinion will be shown, the representative's, or the opinion of the college groups they represent? We say that the opinion will be in most cases that of the representative alone. The plain facts are that KU students hardly know anything about the various plans of reorganization; yet they are the very people the plan concerns. Here is a brief presentation of reorganization plans. Plans for reorganization of student government have been in the development stages for several months. They originated when leaders of the Pachacamac and FACTS political parties got together for the purpose of rendering impossible a continuation of the Greek-Independent political split. The original reorganization proposal, plan I, was presented to the ASC. It provided for redistributing the units of representation. It would replace the old system based on schools in the University with one based on types of residence. Eight new residence-districts would be set up, as follows: I. Social fraternities I. Social trustiness II. Social sororities II. Social sororities III. Men's University houses IV. Women's University houses V. Cooperative houses VI. Professional fraternities VII. Freshman dormitories VIII Unaffiliated students The Council would have a membership of 20. Representatives would be apportioned among the districts in proportion to their population, except that no one district would have over one-fourth of the membership. This exception limits the largest group, un-affiliated students, to five representatives instead of the 10 which they would otherwise have. It was included to prevent any one district from dominating the Council. The five representatives denied to the unaffiliated are apportioned among the other districts according to population. Thus, District I will have five representatives; II, three, III, and IV, two, each, V, VI, and VII, one each; and VIII, five. A compromise proposal also was presented which was a compromise between reorganization plan I, and the plan in the constitution. This proposal calls for similar redistricting, but would allow representation on the basis of voter participation rather than population. With this plan, the number on the Council would vary depending on the number who vote, one representative being allowed for every 200 voters. Each district is guaranteed one representative, and the unaffiliated are divided into two or three geographical districts. There it is. Whether or not either new plan will be adopted will be up to representatives tomorrow night. But the results of the meeting will affect every student. If any student has questions or opinions on the reorganization schemes, we suggest he get in contact with his Council representative before the meeting, and make his opinions known. -Bob Stewart. "Can I give you a lift somewhere? It's right on my way!" The Hastings Collegian, Hastings college (Neb.), asked some of the coeds what they consider to be an ideal date. Some of the answers: Comments What's A Perfect Date?... "The ideal date doesn't have to be good looking or have a lot of money to rate high with me. I think that it is loads of fun to sit home and pop corn or listen to records. I think that this certain fellow should by all means be friendly to both young people and old. . Consideration and good manners are also important." “. Someone you can be at ease with and not be afraid of his taking your actions wrong.” "... One who is a good mixer, a good dancer, a good looker and preferably a good athlete." “. . I like the fellow who has big ideas about what he wants to do in life and works hard to reach those goals. I like a fellow to be changeable, that is to say, one who switches from one mood to another.” “. . One who can make you have a good time and at the same time show you he is having fun. Good looks, money and reputation do not necessarily make a fellow a perfect date.” Communist Humor The Wampus, University of Southern California humor magazine, has sent a challenge to the Moscow office of Krokodil, reportedly the only humor magazine in the Soviet Union. The challenge read: "Our stock anti-Truman jokes running low. Hear you have inexhaustible sumply. Our supply anti-Stalin jokes limitless. Suggest exchange and publication. Will run all your anti-Truman jokes verbatim for all our anti-Stalin stories you use verbatim." The editor has received no reply as yet. Here Is Something All Can Do For Brotherhood Week Editor's Note: As part of Brotherhood week the Daily Kansan today presents a guest article by James Kerney Jr., editor of the Trenton, N.J. Times and a member of the National Brotherhood week committee.) Pick any American along the street and ask him, "Do you hate the people you work with, shop with, live with?" His quick answer will be, "Don't be silly. Of course not. I get along fine with everybody." That's part of the American tradition. We get along fine with everybody. The counterman in the grocery, the waitress in the restaurant, the fellow at the next bench or desk, as well as the man across the street and his wife and children, they're all alike to us. They're all neighbors. The idea of getting along with people is an old American custom. Nevertheless, one week out of the year we announce publicly that we don't care what a man's creed, color or national origin is; he's our neighbor. That's Brotherhood week. In the face of this, somebody is bound to ask, "Why have Brotherhood week? It's what we do all the year." "Well, it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves that this is a great country. It suits us fine. We live in it and love it. Of course, we'd like the rest of the world to feel peaceable toward us, but until the happy day we'll do our best to keep the peace here and among our friends abroad. In the meanwhile, most of us feel there isn't much we can do to change the world. It's a little too big for any of us to handle by ourselves. The average fellow says, "That's a job for the big shots. I'll tend to my own business." But the peace of the world is part of our business today, even if most of us don't know what we can do about it. This year the National Conference of Christians and Jews has come up with a happy suggestion. You can pledge a pint of your blood in Brotherhood week. There isn't a better way for Americans to show they mean brotherhood as a working idea. Give a pint of your blood for your neighbor who might need it or for someone caught in a disaster. Never mind his color or his religion, if he needs your blood to live. Or give your blood for a soldier in Korea. He may be one of our American boys, or he may be a Turk or a Greek, a Canadian or a Britisher. Whoever he is, he needs blood because he's been fighting so that there can be peace in the world. --protege, Alan Bible, in Nevada. Interpretive Articles Key Senate Seats At Stake In '52 Election But the Republicans will encounter trouble also. If Eisenhower wins the nomination for president, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts will ride back to office with him. Otherwise Lodge may find it difficult to keep his seat. Missouri's James Kem may have real trouble on his hands. At the moment he faces only Missouri Attorney General Taylor, but should Truman decide not to run for president, Kem will find that he is up against a Truman clique. Also, George Malone will have a stiff fight against Pat McCarran's Many soft spots in the Democratic party are beeyed by Republicans. Blair Moody, Democratic successor to Michigan's Arthur H. Vandenberg certainly will have trouble carrying Republican Michigan. Sen. William Benton is in trouble because he has neglected the home fires back in Connecticut. Maryland's Herbert R. O'Connor has decided not to run for re-election. Mike DiSalle undoubtedly will have trouble unseating John W. Bricker in Ohio. Tom Connally, Senate majority leader, will have a tough battle with Texas Att. Gen. Price Daniel and Martin Dies. "There are going to be some changes made around here" may well be the political slogan for this year. While we may or may not get a new president, we are certain to get some new senators. Because this is the presidential election year, many people are prone to forget some of the important senatorial races. However, for the Republicans to gain control of the Senate they not only must fill the 20 seats being vacated by party members, but they must capture three seats from the Democrats. Republicans have little hope of obtaining five of these 14 seats—all five are in the "Solid South." At the present time the Democrats hold 50 seats to 46 for the Republicans. Senatorial races this year can and may be as important as the presidential election. There are 34 Senate seats to be filled. Of these, 20 now are held by Republicans, with the remaining 14 held by Democrats. It is easy to see how there could be interesting results. If a Republican is elected president he may find he has a Democratic Senate. Likewise, a Democratic president may be faced with a Republican Senate. It appears that Sen. Joe McCarthy will be back for another six years. Wisconsin Gov. Walter Kohler seems afraid to run against McCarthy, even though Kohler has been promised excellent campaign resources. The election this year can be of grave importance to the United States for years to come. Undoubtedly there will be a change in the presidency and possibly a change in Senate majority. Actually, the Republicans may get a party president, but they probably will not get a Senate majority at this time. However, 1954 will offer the Republicans their best chance to gain Senate control. Then, they will have only 10 seats at stake, while the Democrats will have 22 to defend. —Maurice Prather.
