A chairman was appointed to head correspondence and encouragement of seniors in each high school in the county.
Douglas county students at the University should concentrate on promoting good will for K.U. outside of Lawrence, it was decided at the S.A.C. meeting today.
Fred N. Six, presiding chairman said that Lawrence people are "raised" on the University but that the smaller towns in the county could stand some K.U. promotion
50 people were present, representing almost entirely Wichita.
A collection was taken up during the meeting to finance the placing of Jayhawker magazines in the smaller high school libraries. "This" declared Six, "should go far in dispelling the idea that K.U. is the country club of the Middle West."
Opposition to this plan was raised by those who felt that the Jay-hawker would convince potential students here that K.U. is a country club.
"The aim of these commissions is to get more students to K.U." stated Six. "While the problems of Douglas county are not always the same of other counties, owing to the location of the University, this group can do a lot by working with the smaller schools."
