College Organization Review Is Planned
By RITA HAUGH Kansan Staff Writer
A review of the organization of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, including the Graduate School and the Colleges-Witthin-the-College, will be undertaken by a committee of faculty administrators and students appointed by George Waggoner, dean of the College.
This review of the College will help in planning the future of the Colleges Within-theCollege, an innovation which began in thefall of 1966.
Centennial College, the pitt college, was started in the fall of 1966. Participants were freshmen randomly selected from students in residence halls. Two hundred and fifty men living in Ellsworth Hall and 250 women living in Oliver Hall were in the initial program
THE PLAN for the colleges was submitted to the Carnegie Corporation, which donated $350,000.
Originally the College Intermediary Board wrote a letter to Waggoner in 1965, suggesting that the residential college could increase the critical faculty required for a student's faculty, provide a chance to study interdisciplinary topics and integrate with the other aspects of a student's life.
Future of CWCs Examined by Committee
Because of the success of the program in 1966-67, four other colleges -Corbin, North, Oliver and Pearson -were initiated in the fall of 1968. They filled freshmen and sophomores in the College.
Among the goals were to provide an administrative center where all questions—academic, social and personal—could receive individual attention and to provide decen- dary functions of administrative functions of the dean of men, dean of women, College and registrar offices.
Waggoner supported the program because he believed it would provide the advantages of the small academic community and the positive aspects of a larger institution.
In connection with the establishment of the colleges, the Educational Policies Committee approved the LA&S courses, which were to be interdisciplinary in content.
OTHER NEW policies and procedures were pre-enrollment, in which a student chose the courses he wanted to take before the semester. The course advisers advised a block of students, and a companion
Both the pre-enrolment and common advising system have been dropped, Jerry associates dean of the College, said. Pre-enrolment students are admitted to a student a place in a course, and the common advisers hampered students who had specific needs or majors or major们 outside the adviser's department.
English class, so that people in a block would have at least one class together.
The idea of the common English class has been modified, Lewis said. Instead of persons, who lives on the same floor being in the same English class, people from two or three of the residence hall are in the class. This allows the student to choose course times.
AN EVALUATION of the colleges within-acollege system in May 1988 by the College Intermediary Board revealed faculty participation in the program was weak.
"Fictitually 'really identify with a college on this (block advising) system," the evaluation said. At that time, the CB called for a radical revision of the College curriculum to go along with the revision of the College administration. The report also
stressed the need for close relations with faculty as a necessity and found a unique opportunity with college students.
In connection with this revision, the possibility of extending the colleges to four year programs was strongly recommended. This would mean a vast decentralization of the colleges and only broad requirements set by the College and would allow the colleges to set the rest.
An Urban Emphasis program suggested by the CBI is currently being set up in Centenomia.
THIS SPRING, Lewis said, there will be sections of Sociology 2, Political Science 1, English 3, Speech 1b, Psychology 1 and a Human Relations class taught with an urban emphasis. These classes will be open only to Centennial's students, Lewis said.
Another project following CIB's suggestions is the construction of Numerak College behind Lewis Hall. Numerak will replace Corbin College, and its students will be housed in Lewis and Templin Halls next year.
The construction of a new building for Nuneman was made possible by a $350,000 gift from Irwe Nuneman of New York City. It will include a lounge and classrooms.
The fragmentation of the colleges by the SSA, AWS, IFC, Panhellenic, ARHH and ASHC will be revealed in the 1968 report. The Senate now contains college-within-a-college representatives. AWS has become the Commission on the Women and dropped residence hall affiliations.
THE WORST fragmentation now occurs as a result of Panhellenic, Lewis said, because sophomore women in sororites are not as closely affiliated with their colleges.
The College freshmen and sophomores who are in apartments, scholarship halls and fraternities are divided among the colleges. The college buildings all have their college in the same building.
Conteminal's students are in Eilworth, Oliver's in Oliver, North's in GSP, Pearson's in JRIP and Nunenauer's in Hangerer. To these students from one hall sometimes will be affiliated with another college, as for some, some of JRPs are in North College.

Senate Finance Committee Wants Opinions on Student Activity Fees
After arguing the merits and weaknesses of the activity fee within the confines of the Student Senate, the Senate Auditing and the Senate Committee will open hearing on the issue to obtain student's input.
The hearing will be at 7 p.m. Monday in the Regionalists Room of the Kansas Union.
There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding the activity fee since this fall, when it was proposed that some changes in the budgeting of the fees that was submitted to the board by the Student Body.
Reaching to the regents' action, the Student Senate Executive Committee (StudEx) called for an activity fee strike on the allotments for the Spring 71 semester. However, that move created a controversy within the Senate over the jurisdiction of StudEx, and proposals were put forth to the Senate on the issue have been considered. But the Senate has not yet officially called the referendum.
R. L. "PUP" BAILEY, student body vice-president, and former co-chairman of the Auditing and Finance Committee, has led the effort to change the existing activity fee structure.
Political-social organizations, such as the Black Student Union and the Committee for Communications in Human Relations, have obtained funds, as well as small athletic clubs such as the Parachuting Club and the Fencing Club.
The present system calls for a $12 per semester, per student, activity fee, to be allocated by the Student Senate, subject to the approval of the Chancellor and the Regents.
Chancellor Chalmers, before presenting the budget to the Regents, changed it, returning the health facility allocation to the Athletic Association in compliance with the Regent's
This year the $444,000 budget has gone for the funding of many campus organizations.
THE LARGEST SINGLE allocation of the Budget was a $131,600 sum appropriated to the Athletic Association for admission subsidies. This allocation has probably received the most attention because the Senate tried to allocate this money for a student health department, and agents froze the athletics allocation at a level no lower than last year's expenditures.
freeze on athletic funds.
Several senators have proposed that this athletic allocation be totally eliminated from the activity fee levy, lowering it to $6 a semester. This would force students to go through regular channels to purchase athletic tickets, but unlike the present situation only those students who wanted to attend athletic events would be paying for tickets.
OTHER PROPOSALS include doing away with the fee entirely except for the funding of things like the University Daily Kansan that cannot be funded in another manner, and
creating an "activity ticket," optional to each student, which, if purchased, would admit students to concerts, university theater productions and other activities that are subsidized by fee money under the present system.
"It will give the students a chance to air their views on this issue. It's important for students who are concerned about the future to talk and share what they think ought to be done." Mize said.

Ebert Calls for Walkout
U. Senate Rescinds 20% Student Voice
By BLAKE HIBBARD Kansan Staff Writer
The Senate also voted to allow the University Senate Executive Council (SenEx) to call a meeting of the University Senate to discuss an issue and to discuss the wording of the rule.
Student Senators and some faculty wake out of the University for meeting Thursday. A few senators repeated the per cent student representation on all university policy-making committees by r
Immediately after the results of the vote were announced, Bill Ebert, Topek senior and student body president, marched to the Theater microphone and called for a walkout.
Ebert said his rights had been imprinted upon and any students and faculty who felt it was wrong would be subject to
Many students and some faculty did leave; however, that did not affect the quorum size of the group.
THE CONTROVERSIAL REGULATION in the Senate Code provided for a minimum of 20 per cent student representation on all policy-making committees at KU.
"The rights of the students of this University to legitimately and institutionally articulate their concerns were denied and violated," she said. "The University Senate," the statement said. "It is our feeling that Thursday's vote was a tangible example of the fear generated by attempts to assimilate democratically into the community into the decision-making process."
Later in the evening, members of the Student Senate Executive Committee and other student senators issued a statement denouncing repeal of the rule.
The statement said that the rule for 20 percent student representation did not imply "a monochronic attempt at complete takeover," but an attempt "at a reasonable method for participation in the decisions directly affect students" at least four important years of their lives.
The resolution to strike the rule was introduced by Thomas Gorton, de fine of Anne.
GORTON SAID the first time the 1970 University Senate Rules and Regulations were submitted to the University Senate for action last spring, the section concerning 20 per cent student representation was not included. Then after the Senate could not find a quorum to rule on the regulations, the 1970 regulations. The rule adopted the 1970 representation had already been inserted when the Council adopted the regulations.
Gorton cited improper procedure by the University Council when implementing the rule, vagueness of the rule and impingement of the right of the faculty to set degree requirements and standards in the university as his reasons for repeal.
Gerton said that was improper procedure for the adoption of a rule into the University System.
GORTON SAID THE FACULTY knew more about what should go into the making of a book.
"I urge the faculty not to sell their academic birthright for a mess of potriage called student involvement," Gorton said. "Kick Von Edle, Abhane, Tx., graduate university relations, said at the University Senate meeting that he supported the regulation.

Drug Use Faculty Forum Topic
By ALAN SIMONS
Kansan Staff Writer
Bauerle first spoke of Headquarters growth over the past 10 months. Currently in a transitional period, Headquarters began as "help centered in a communal living situation." Eight people were on the original list.
Drug usage is only a symptom of a deeper problem that requires understanding. Brian Laurie, teaching assistant in the School of Sociology at UF, urges you to form during their weekly lunches Thursday.
Bauleer's talk was devoted to Headquarters, Inc., Lawrence's drug abuse and crisis he has been involved with the organization since its founding last December.
Twelve served on the staff devoting 'basically all the time they had' to the people who came to Headquarters for help during the summer.
Explaining how the workload has increased, Bauerle said that when Headquarters opened in December, 1969, it handled five or six bad trips and one or two runaways a month. During the summer and September, the staff handled an average of 11

bad trips,45 information calls and four runaways a week.
BAUERLE CITED three areas that Headquarters is working in: as a crisis center to help individuals who are unable to rehabilitation center which tries to offer individuals an alternative to drug use, and as a care provider.
Headquarters recently submitted a $40,000 heron abuse center project which the Mental Health Department supported.
Baucerle said that many drug, educational efforts were aimed at the wrong group. He urged preventative education for people who had not used drugs and adult education, but said that most of those using drugs now were aware of the risks they were taking
Headquarters tries to provide an understanding atmosphere for the people who come to it for help. Bauer said. The staff soon realized that "drugs are symptomatic of
a deeper problem that can be handled in humanitarian way. That problem is often difficult to deal with.
Baulee said he did not feel that the youth who used drugs once necessarily had a problem. He quoted a West Coast scientist as saying that it was now "more pathological for a high school student not to try smoking marijuana once."
One of the chief problems Bauerle sees with drug usage is that what started as a flower-child culture has become more of a militant, revolution-oriented culture. Headquarters, with the same peer group pressure that we mentioned in section 3, drugs in the first place, tries to expose young drug users to the "positive action and humanitarian action" of the flower-child culture.
PART OF BAUERLEL's talk urged faculty members to assign projects to their students that would involve them in social action projects rather than the usual book-oriented research projects. He sees the KU student body—graduate and undergraduate—as a relevant social problem and relevant social problems. He urged faculty who that really want to get involved in social
action" to do so as part of their academic work.
A NUMBER OF professional people, both on and off campus, are working with Headquarters, serving on its board of directors and as consultants.
He said that about 95 student volunteers were now working with Headquarters through various special projects. Many of these are students from the School of Social Work and Human Services, who imaginatively put "academic situations in realistic social practices." Bauer said.
In a question-and-answer period, Baumger said that Headquarters had operated, to date, on solely community donations. He also pointed out that Headquarters primary function was to "to be a friend to kids that need a friend."
He is sure that many people asked what they could do to help Headquarters. He said that financial aid was always welcome, but that he desired to see people becoming involved in the work of organizations he hoped to see faculty members giving the kind of assignments that would really motivate students to do something.

Voice Gained By Students, Regent Says
Students in state colleges and universities are now represented on a Kansas Board of Regents committee by their student body presidents, and Regent W. F. Danebarger who is called the committee a "valid substitute" for actual student representation on the board.
In an interview Thursday, Danenharger said the board recently established the Student College Coordinating Committee of students. Student body presidents are regular members.
"What we hope to do, be said, "is make
a well-organized rough committee that students
will work with."
The actual purpose of the committee is for students, regents and faculty to discuss campus policies that are most relevant to the department, and make recommendations to the board.
"For instance," Damanbarge said, "I know that the subject of 3.2 per cent beer on campas is that."
In addition to the six student body presidents of the state supported colleges and universities, the committee consists of two faculty members: the Chairman, and a faculty member from Kansas State University at Pittsburg; two faculty members from Kansas State University at Johns Hopkins; and McCain of Kansas State University and John
