The Student Senate Executive Committee is now taking applications to fill a vacancy on the Union Operating Board. Brad Smoot, Sterling junior, said Friday that persons interested in filling the position for the rest of the school year should apply as soon as possible. He said that anyone with questions should call him at VI2-5781, or the Student Senate office at UN4-3710.
Blood Drive Scheduled
The annual fall Campus Blood Drive is scheduled for Oct. 6, 7 and 8 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. Two organizations, Pershing Rifles and Echo Berets, will assist with the drive. The fall blood drive will be followed by a similar drive during the spring semester.
Two Senate Seats Open
Regents . . .
Elections will soon be held to fill two vacancies in the Student Senate, according to John Friedman, Shawnee Mission senior, and chairman of the elections committee. The vacancies are in the School of Education and Oliver College. The Oliver College election will be held on Oct. 7 and 8 concurrently with freshman class elections. No date has been set for an election in the School of Education. Petitions for endorsing candidates are now available in the senate office. The elections must be held within four weeks after the first senate meeting or the seats will be filled by runners up from the last general election, said Friedman.

action to fire Chalmers, but no action was taken against him at this meeting.
However, Regent Jackson introduced a resolution Friday requiring that 10 days notice be given in writing to each board member before action was taken on the selection or retention of the Chancellor of the University of Kansas or the president of any other Kansas university or college. Jackson said that he felt that such meetings were very important, and that time was needed to consider all of the facts involved. The proposal was referred to the board's legislative committee.
Jackson was the only regent not present at the special meeting July 26, when the attempt to fire Chalmers was made.
Bubb told a reporter outside Friday's meeting that he had no plans to try to fire Chalmers and that his July attempt to remove the Chancellor was "played out of proportion."
CHALMERS, he said, "is no more on probation than any other chancellor or college president today. If they don't perform in the correct manner, they go and if they do, they stay."
The regents adopted a re-worded version of Point Eight of the Code of Conduct they issued July 10. The board said that the new version was to add clarity to a regulation regarding the use of profane language on University property.
The new point states: "Persons having a formal association with any of our state educational institutions shall not use profane or vulgar language in a threatening or disruptive manner nor engage in a rude or challenging behavior in or upon any of the institutional properties, including residence halls and organized living groups."
IN REGARD to hiring procedures, a report of the special subcommittee concerning administrative hiring practices was unanimously adopted. The report states that "the University is still important to its constituency, from which it receives support and (the subcommittee) would urge faculty members and administrators to consider the effects of their action on the total university."
The board approved a request for $630,000 for completion of a central heating plant at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Several other students had minor injuries as a result of the fight.
Hughes is pressing charges, he said, since he considered the attack unprovoked.
"THE SAD THING is that none of the people involved in starting the fight were our people," Ellen Hanson, resident director of Ellsworth, said. "Everyone is expecting us to have problems, but there's nothing we can do about outsiders."
She explained that students in the Urban Studies program, which is new this year, were living in Ellsworth, and that some people had expected there to be problems because of the increased numbers of blacks.
The last incident, according to Alderson, occurred about 1 a.m. Saturday. Two white men were walking toward JRP on the field east of the stadium. They had passed some people on Mississippi Street who were changing a tire and said "Hi."
Then the two men were jumped, he said. One ran away, but the other was assaulted and later admitted to Watkins Hospital, Alderson said.
"I feel great concern when students can't move with ease and safety anywhere around the campus and the residence halls," he said.
