ASC President Plans Innovations
Editor's Note: Melvin Clingan, president of the All Student Council for 1950-51, has written the following guest editorial to acquaint new students with the council's activities and to explain the group's plans for campus innovations during the coming year.
My very sincere thanks go to the Kansan for this space and the opportunity for explanation it affords. Many former students and probably all freshmen are somewhat "in the dark" about their student government and its plans and policies. I would like to clear up this situation and forecast some of the things the All Student Council will attempt to do this year.
The council itself is made up of 20 students elected by the student body plus 10 more members elected by various organizations. The great majority of council business is delegated to the committee level. There are many committees, some standing and some temporary, which handle the matters under their particular jurisdiction.
Elections, of course, handles all student elections for class and council representation and has jurisdiction over many organizational elections. Publications oversees campus publications and social sets up the rules and regulations governing university social life. Parking, smoking, and public relations assume pretty obvious duties and finance hears requests for A.S.C. appropriations. Other committees handle their respective obligations, and it is the Council seated as a whole that hears each committee's report and discusses all business brought for floor debate.
Of more interest than the routine procedural set-up will be the extra events we have in mind for this year's adoption. In the first place, an event mentioned in last spring's Pachacamac platform and one of great interest to many of us is bringing a "name band" to K.U. for a dance. This idea is soon to be a reality when Harry James sets up his bandstand at Hoch auditorium on Friday, Oct. 13. We had originally planned to obtain James or

a like orchestra for Homecoming but the road schedules for the bands did not permit it. The dance will be under the able handling of student union activities—any deficit will be assumed by the A.S.C. I feel our success in bringing James to K.U. will be greatly appreciated by many of you students.

Among other ideas in the offing is the institution of full-hour parking on Jayhawk drive for the convenience of those who have only one class on the Hill at a given time. This will permit them to park on the campus during that hour without receiving a ticket—or having to park in some inaccessible zone.
several finals on the first day of final week—and little time off from class in the days previous to study for them. We would also like to see a system installed that will permit seniors with a grade of C or above in any given course to have the option of taking—in order to try to better their course grade—or not taking the final—and receiving the C or above.
We are going to work for a full day of grace between the end of classes and the beginning of final week. This will benefit those with
This summer I submitted a plan for reserved seating at University football games to certain University officials. That plan was rejected but we hope that improvements upon it will allow its future adoption. With that adoption will come the end to our being forced to stand in line and wait several hours just to get decent seating for football games.
These things will come about slowly due to the fairly obvious obstacles in our way. However, I promise that we will do everything we can.
Should you ever like to learn of committee or council activity, call me at 3456 or attend any of the council meetings held every other Tuesday evening at 7:15 p.m. in the Pine room of the Union. You have every right to attend—we'll be glad to have you do so. The first meeting is Tuesday. Sept. 25.
