PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1949 The Editorial Page- Campus Theater Problems The All Student Council has appointed a committee to investigate the possibilities of a campus theater. The idea is a fine one. A theater on the campus would add a needed facility. A campus theater would be used by every student enrolled on Mt. Oread. Chances are that it would become the most popular building or room on the campus. But the possibilities of a campus theater becoming a reality are few. The biggest obstacle to overcome is the renting of film. Movies are distributed on the block system. If you own a theater, you rent your films from a distributor who makes you take B and C pictures along with the best. Taking B and C pictures wouldn't be the only trouble. A year ago when representatives of the American Veterans committee were investigating the idea of a campus theater, they were almost thrown out of a distributor's office in Kansas City. The idea of a co-operative theater competing with the Lawrence theaters was too much. Even if the films were available, finding a room big enough to hold the crowds would be impossible. Fraser theater certainly wasn't built to be a motion picture theater. Frank Strong auditorium, even with air conditioning, isn't suitable. Lindley auditorium seats only 226. Equipment would be an expensive item. The University owns some silent projectors, but no sound machines. Those are the major problems, not to mention getting the board of regents' approval, fighting competition by Lawrence theater owners, and finding someone to do the work. They are big problems that will take planning and hard work to overcome. But success in the project would certainly be worth any effort expended. —Marvin Rowlands, Harold Benjamin, Arthur Collins 'Highly Impressed' _ Dear Editor: I wonder if the newly-elected members of the Traditions committee of the A.S.C. have found time to glance over the Constitution and ascertain what their duties actually are. I am highly impressed by the efficiency demonstrated at the cheerleader try-outs. Those persons who were to judge the event were notified at least 36 hours or less before try-out time. However, I am gratified at the knowledge that the important personages (deans and faculty members) were contacted before members of the student body, who received as much as six hours' notice. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that when try-outs started, there were four students and one faculty member present to serve as judges. Wasn't it fortunate that the K-Club dismissed just in time to send several judges? According to the A.S.C. constitution (Section four, Article h, Paragraph one), "there shall be a Pep Committee composed of the Traditions Committee, the President of the Jay Janes, President of the K-Club, President of the Ku Ku Club, the present head cheerleader, the coaches of the basketball and football teams and any others that the Traditions Committee might select, the total number not to exceed fifteen." Circumstances may have caused our Traditions committee to roll slowly at first, but they did an excellent job of making up for lost time. They went the extra mile—they chose more than the legal number of cheerleaders and alternates. Whereas, the constitution states (Section four, Article h, Paragraph four) "cheerleading staff shall consist of six active cheerleaders, and three assistants," our Traditions committee allowed seven regular and three alternate cheerleaders to be elected. Perhaps the Traditions committee has changed the rules without the knowledge of other A.S.C. members, or the student body. Does this presage a new era of efficient service by our newly-elected All Student Council?
