ISA Council Approves Five Resolutions
Five resolutions were passed Monday by the Independent Student association council, one tabled, and one defeated. A motion to accept a proposal for an I.S.A. booklet for freshmen was also passed.
The resolution to work for the realization of a University swimming pool was defeated. Members felt the I.S.A. would be "biting off more than it could chew."
The resolution to allow the Inter-
Fraternity and Fathellenic ex-officio seats on the I.S.A. council in exchange for an I.S.A. ex-officio seat on the two Greek council was tabled after much discussion.
Those resolutions passed, all unanimously, were:
1. To sponsor student committees which shall investigate housing conditions and, if necessary, approach city and state officials to help assure better student housing.
2 To back independent students in and out of court when necessary to achieve satisfactory living conditions and rental rates.
3. To act as a positive force in the state legislature for the appropriation of funds for dormitory projects.
4 To actively support the collective intramural program of the University.
5. To establish a system of wards composed of unorganized independents living in the city of Lawrence and to sponsor parties between the wards and the various organized houses.
The proposal for an I.S.A. booklet was put forth by Dorothy Eastwood, I.S.A. public relations chairman. In her report to the council, Miss Eastwood said the 7 by 10 inch booklet would be sent to freshmen wanting information on campus housing and social activities for independents.
The booklet, tentatively called "Independents and K.U." would have 16 pages with pictures of University life for independent men and women and information about I.S.A., Miss Eustwood said.
She also informed the council that the last edition of Kan-Do, I.S.A. newspaper, would be May 23.
It was also announced that LS.A will have a picnic on Saturday May 14.

Seniors Find Jobs Fewer
Jobs are still available for those who look, but business firms are looking for fewer men and are being more selective in choosing them, according to Terrel Clarke, assistant director of the Business Placement bureau.
Thirty companies have sent representatives to interview business students, which is a decrease over other years. Another indication of the tightened job situation is that students are being offered one or two jobs now where formerly they had their choice of three or four, Mr. Clarke commented. To date, only 15 or 20 per cent of the business seniors have accepted jobs, a percentage somewhat lower than past years at this time, Mr. Clarke said.
Apparently, business firms have slowed up their rate of expansion, remarked Mr. Clarke. This situation is prevailing in all parts of the country and in fields other than business, he added.

No Tears As ASC Swaps Members
By LLOYD HOLBECK
Without shedding a single tear, the 19 "old" members of the All Student Council witnessed their replacement by the recently elected representatives Tuesday and then departed quietly.
Before giving up their positions, they spent an hour completing projects
begun during their terms. ®
The unfinished business includes amendments to A.S.C. bills on the student court and the new disciplinary committee, a "thank-you" speech by Patrick Thiessen, the outgoing president, and a report on a proposed "College Bible" by Helen Piller. College junior.
At the beginning of the meeting
Miss Piller suggested the new Council appoint a special committee to complete work begun by William Conboy, College senior, and herself. The "Bible" would contain a complete guide to the University, with lists of all organizations, school requirements, and other facts.
and was "shot" in the act.
It did. A photographer for the Jayhawk walked in. Before he could raise his camera into position, the reclining members sat up. Some turned directly toward him, and others faced away.
In addition to laughter, the flash of the bulbs also caused Dorothy Scroggy, A.S.C. secretary, to pause in reading a bill. She was temporarily blinded by the light.
the experienced students soon re-laxed in the leather-cushioned chairs while the new members sat on the edges waiting for something to happen.
He took several pictures under the supervision of Conboy, editor of the Jayhawker. Ernest Friesen, the new president, walked up to the chair of Thiesen to comment on something
A resolution by Conboy recommending a change in election of representatives caused some eyebrow lifting, but it passed.
With few exceptions, the outgoing Council set high standards for the new members to follow. Most of the men wore jackets and ties through-loomed the knots of the ties, how-ou't the meeting. Some, including Robert Bennett, College junior, ever.
The outstanding pipe of the entire group was absent. Bennett had switched to cigarets for the evening
the campus such as the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Negro Students association, or the Associated Women Students. Conboy felt this method of electing representatives would eliminate political maneuvering.
However, Robert Bennett, College junior, opposed the resolution on the grounds that political parties would attempt to "load" the organizations with their own men.
Other business completed during the meeting included the inauguration and election of new officers and representatives, the reading of a letter which withdrew an organisational representative, and passage of two bills providing for student disciplinary action.
Ernest C. Friesen, new president of the A.S.C., was inaugurated and presided over the election of other 1949-50 officers.
Douglas H. Paddock, College sophomore was elected vice-president; Wilma Shore, College sophomore, secretary; and Edward Dunne, pharmacy junior, treasurer.
One of the bills passed by the old council provided for a student disciplinary committee of five students working with the deans of men and women, or their assistants. The new committee will handle all cases not covered by the Student court to include parking and smoking regulations in addition to student and organization disputes.
Committee members were appointed for the new term. The committees and their chairmen are: Robert Bennett, committee on committees; Melvin Clingan, College sophomore, elections; Richard Menuet, engineering sophomore, traditions; Douglas Paddock, College sophomore, publications.
Edward Dunne, pharmacy junior,
finance; Donna Munn, College junior,
charter; Mary Helen Baker,
fine arts junior, social; Donald Giften,
College sophomore; auditing;
Bennett, public relations.
Arthur Francis, engineering sophmore, parking committee; Evans Francis, business junior, smoking; Melvin Clingan, Union operating board; Rita Weigand, College sophmore, calendar; Donna Munn, commencement.
Wilma Shore, College sophomore,
community lectures; Charles Penny,
engineering junior, athletic board;
Mabel Conderman, business junior,
Memorial union; Ernest Friesen,
College junior, Union board of
directors; Melvin Clingan, Union Operating
board.
Supreme Court Hears Bond Suit
Topeka, May 4—U.(P.)The Kansas supreme court today heard oral arguments on a suit testing constitutionality of revenue bond issuance by the state board of regents.
The friendly test, brought by Attorney General Harold R. Fatzer, is believed to hold the key to immediate construction of a fieldhouse at the University of Kansas. The specific issue is the issuance of $950,000 in regents' bonds for the construction of dormitories at Kansas State college.
It was felt if this practice is upheld, the way would be open for K.U. to issue revenue bonds to add funds to the $725,000 appropriated by the 1949 legislature for a Jayhawker fieldhouse.
