Pachacamac Controls ASC Accuser Says
The accusation that the Pachacamac party is selling out the student body was made Wednesday at the All Student council meeting.
Roger Davis, business senior, said that due to the Council's precedent of disenfranchising student organizations at the voting of major bills the Pachacamac party can, because they have the majority of seats at the Council, push through any bill they choose.
Before the bill was brought up for a vote, Melvin Clingan, business senior, president of the ASC, passed his chairmanship to the secretary, Marcia Horn, College sophomore, so that he could speak from the floor.
The issue in question at the time of the outburst was a bill to have any deficit in the Student Union Activities contract with the Harry James band paid by the All Student Council.
In his speech, Clingan said that since Student Union was the first organization in recent times to bring name bands to the school, the A.S.C. should stand behind it. He also mentioned that bringing bands to K.U. was one of the planks of the Pachacamac party's platform.
The second bill, which committed the A.S.C. to assuming any possible deficit responsibility, was passed.
After the disfranchisement student organizational representatives, two bills were proposed and voted on. The first bill proposed that the A.S.C. would not assume responsibility for any defect that might result from the Harry James affair. This was defeated by a straight Pachacamac-N.O.W. vote.
Seating at football games was another point of business. A committee was set up to look into a plan to arrange seating at the stadium so that students will have their seats ahead of time. This plan will not be put into effect this year. Clingan said that it will be set up so that no partiality will be shown to either Greek or Independent students.
It was mentioned at the meeting that a previous seating plan was rejected by the administration because of possible discrimination.
Three new members were added to the Council. Richard Bradley, engineering junior will represent the Co-ops; Gary Davis, College sophomore will replace Thomas White; and Ralph McClung, pharmacy senior, will replace Robert Bennett. Bennett and White resigned their posts when called into the armed service.

Four Rallies To Highlight Weekend
Four football pep rallies for Saturday's Kansas-Iowa State game at Ames will be held over the weekend.
This week's all-important conference game with Iowa State will be one of K.U.'s most important games of the year," Don Hull, head cheerleader, said today. "This is the game that will determine the early leadership of the Big Seven and a K.U. win would send the Jay-hawkers into our Homecoming game with Nebraska, Saturday, Oct. 28, as a strong contender for the conference title."
A big send-off rally will be held for Coach J. V. Sikes, his coaching staff, and the team at 7:35 Friday morning at the Union Pacific railroad station. A pep band will provide music and the cheerleaders will be on hand to lead the cheering.
"We want all students, alumni, and K.U. fans attending the game to use the Kirkwood hotel as a 'meeting place' and really show the team it has plenty of loyal backers at this rally," Hull said.
Two rallies are planned for Saturday, one in Des Moines and the other at Ames. A rally will be held at the Kirkwood hotel at Des Moines at 10:45 Saturday morning. The team will board a chartered bus shortly after this rally to move on to Ames for the game.
Dolph Simons, president of the K.U. alumni association; Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director; Marvin Small, assistant secretary of the Alumni association, and the Kansas cheerleaders will help stir up pep for the game.
Following this rally, the Kansas followers will move on to Ames where a noon luncheon-rally is planned at the Cyclone Cellar in the Iowa State Memorial Union building
school songs during the luncheon," he said.
"We expect a large number of Kansas alumni from all over Iowa and the Chicago area to be present at the luncheon." Fred Elsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, said today. "I'm sending a K.U. record album so the group can play
The final rally of the weekend will be a welcome home rally for the team at 9:25 Sunday morning at the Union Pacific railroad station.
The following is taken from a sports column written by Jack Carberry, veteran Denver Post sports writer, on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Carberry thought this quote by Colorado's great fullback, Merwin Model, best fit the reason behind K.U.'s victory.
Carberry quoted Hodel as saying, "The thing that put that team up (KU), was the support the team got from the school's cheering section. Had we been playing on the Boulder campus I know how it would have turned out. That Kansas cheering section never quit. When their team was down, and apparently out—21 points behind--that cheering section was pulling for them; every last one of them, and with everything they had, and every second.
- Larsen, a successful publisher heading the organization that issues Time, Life, Fortune and Architectural Forum magazines, has been devoting a large portion of his time to the cause of better public schools.
He is chairman of the National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools. His efforts in actively filling what might have been accepted merely as a titular position earned him the citation by the American Association of School Administrators as "the person who contributed the most to public education during 1949."
The commission of which he is chairman was formed in 1949 as a non-profit corporation for the improvement of public schools. The Carnegie Corporation and the General Education board contributed the initial financial support. Its purposes are to help Americans realize how important public schools are to an expanding democracy and to arouse in each community the intelligence and will to improve public schools.
Larsen was one of the first workers on Time magazine, which was started a short time after he received an A.B. degree from Harvard in 1921. He was publisher of Life magazine from its beginning until 1946, when he relinquished the post to devote full time to his duties as president of the parent corporation, a position he has held since 1939.
It functions by encouraging the formation of independent community groups for the purpose of improving local public schools, and by acting as a clearing house for the exchange of information and techniques.
One of his articles on the public schools has been published in The Annals of The American Academy of Political and Social Science.
All other films in the series will be shown on Friday nights. The first film is being shown Saturday because of the Harry James dance Friday night.
The first of 10 foreign films to be shown during the school year, "Symphonie Pastorale," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
Foreign Film Will Be Shown
