What Is This A.S.C.?
The University Daily Kansan is full of news of those three letters, the editorial page fills to overflowing with objects to this measure passed by the A.S.C. and praise (occasionally) for that one. Arguments spring up over the campus on issues discussed in A.S.C. meetings
First, those initials stand for All Student Council. This is the group of students which governs the associated students of the University of Kansas, and the associated students includes YOU.
The Council (another way of referring to the A.S.C.) is made up of students from all of the schools in the University, from members of all classes from freshman to graduate, and of students from independent and Greek houses.
It has 4 officers and 18 committees to handle the work which it does. The president this year is Ernest C. Friesen, a College senior. The vice-president is Douglas Paddock, a College junior; the secretary is Wilma Shore, a junior in education; and the treasurer is Steve Mills, a College junior.
What Does The A.S.C. Do That Affects You?
It makes some of the rules which you have to follow while at the University. It gives you a place to take your compaints and praise of the way student affairs are handled. Through the committees, it supervises such things as the publication of the Student Directory, the K-Book, and the Jayhawker. It watches the polls at elections; it gives appropriations to various campus organizations; it makes sure that party and dance regulations are kept.
One committee has the job of supervising all the others and placing Council members on other committees. This is the "committee on committees." Its chairman is Robert Bennett, a first-year law student. How Can You Keep Track of What
the A.S.C. Does?
The Council meets at 7:30 p.m. on alternate Tuesdays in the Pine room of the Union. Anyone may go to these meetings. If you do not go you can read an account of what went on in the University Daily Kansan the next day. The last meeting was on Nov. 1, so the next one will be on Tuesday, Nov. 15.
How Are the Members Chosen?
The president is elected by the students in the spring. The candidate with the second greatest number of votes automatically becomes the representative-at-large. Some of the other Council members are elected from the schools in which they are enrolled.
The schools in the University are divided into four "districts." The first one is the College and the second the School of Engineering and Architecture. The third includes the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information,
Schools of Fine Arts, Education, and the Graduate school. And the fourth includes the Schools of Law and Medicine.
Two representatives are elected from the freshman class in the fall freshman election.
The organizations on the campus which touch the greatest number of students and are the most influential also have representatives on the Council. Some of these are Independent Student Association, student students, W.Y.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. Interdormitory council, and Negro Students association.
All of these representatives to the Council choose the other three officers, the vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, from among themselves. Each of them, even those three, is placed on some committee by the committee on committees. The only member of Council who isn't on a committee is the president. He has no vote, except in the case of a tie.
The Council has four faculty advisors. They are Miss Florence Black, associate professor of mathematics; J. Neal Carman, professor of Romance languages; Miss Kathleen Doering, associate professor of ontology; and Marston McCluggage, associate professor of sociology. Part to the
Is There a Judicial Part to the
A. S.C?
The justices for the court this year were approved at the A.S.C. meeting Nov. 1. There are five of them, a chief justice, and a student prosecutor. The chief justice is Joe Bailey, a third-year law student, and the prosecutor is Laird Campbell, also a third-year law student. What Should You Do About
The Student court is a group of five to seven justices appointed by the faculty advisors and the Council president, and approved by a two-thirds vote of the Council. It interprets the rules passed by the Council and judges all cases which come under these laws.
You should keep up with the Council, either by attending its meetings, or by reading the University Daily Kansan. If an action is taken of which you do not approve, you should call your representative and tell him so. Before a bill is passed formally, it must be read at two meetings, and the two weeks between provide time to register complaints.
the A.S.C.?
You should also vote intelligently in the spring elections. Elect the people whom you think will do the most for the student body.
