ASC Lobbying
Isn't it about time something was done about procedure in All Student council meetings?
It is bad enough that all the members do not pay attention throughout the meeting; it is worse when non-members participate in official business.
Tuesday night was the most disgusting example of this we have seen. One political party president, in the capacity of a visitor, talked at length, privately, with various members of the council while that body was carrying on its official business. Finally, when an argument on procedure arose, he exclaimed, without obtaining recognition from the president, that the motion was out of order. Then he argued with a council member on the question up for consideration.
Other than this, we can't prove that this political leader was talking to council members about the business which was before them. But if he wasn't, it would seem to show more respect for student government if so much private business did not have to coincide exactly with the two hours a week which belongs to the All Student council.
During the meeting one of his party colleagues motioned him over to ask him if he had noticed how another member of their party voted. He talked to the other member who later asked that the amendment which she had favored be brought up for reconsideration.
If he was telling them how to vote, some definite rule about the position of outsiders at ASC meetings had better be passed. There is no provision in the council constitution or bills for the conduct of visitors. Even Robert's Rules of Order seem to take for granted that if meetings are open to the public, the public will not interfere with official business. These parliamentary rules do provide that the assembly may take necessary action to remove any person from the meeting.
Maybe the political situation on this campus can't be cleaned up completely; maybe it can't be eliminated from the stands taken by those elected to represent the best interests of the student body. But it ought to take a little less brazen methods of influencing student government.
President John A. Hannah said inability to complete buildings now started will cause 1,128 engineers and 700 potential students to seek training elsewhere. This would be equivalent to denying them an education, he believes, since their chances of being admitted to other schools are slim.
Fund Cut May Limit Michigan Enrollment
Enrollment at Michigan State college will be cut by about 2,000 next year if the Michigan legislature passes a proposed building budget slash.
The Oregon State Barometer advises its readers to seek more in life than security alone. Man, the editor observes, must have been created for something more than pressing buttons and signing checks.
The cut from $7,975,318 to $3,200,-000 would cause Michigan State to lose teachers who have remained on the campus on the promise that new laboratories and other facilities would be forthcoming.

RALEIGH '903."
Although J. B. Kabler attempted to defend the present tax drive against co-operatives by specious argument based on three fundamental fallacies, he laid bare the main aim of such campaigns in his statement "it is not doubt true" that private enterprise is attempting to destroy competition by delimiting the co-ops.
Taxing The Co-ops
ONE Examination of operating statements of any of the major cooperatives (all available on request) will show that cooperatives do refund profits to their patrons. As a point of fact, the nearest regional co-operative returned $300,000 to member associations this year. Any member of a local co-operative in Kansas knows that the refunds are paid annually in hard cash.
TWO. The state is not deprived of revenue by exempting co-operatives from income tax. A tax study of the Kansas legislative council, published in the fall of 1946, reveals that the state is getting more revenue from the present tax on patronage refunds than it would from the proposed direct tax on the co-operatives. The charges that revenue is lost are shown to be merely a mask for hidden motives by the introduction of measures to tax co-operative income in states where co-operatives already enjoy no exemption from income tax.
THREE. The co-operatives at present are accomplishing a worthwhile task in improving the economic lot of 150,000 member families in Kansas. It is idle to be concerned with the "potential threat of monopoly" offered by democratically controlled co-operatives, built as they are on a broad base of consumer participation, in view of the actual threat offered by existing huge corporations and quasi-cartels.

Needles are being black-marketed in Europe. About this season busy college women would find inconspicuous safety pins much more convenient.
Republican national chairman Carroll Reece has asked for more team play by G.O. P. congress members. A little more team play throughout congress might help the country, too.
It doesn't happen this way very often, but the student shown in the University Daily Kansan getting a flu shot was absent from classes the next day. Reason? She was at home with the flu.

"The only active volcanes are on the island of Hawaii. Best known of these is Mauna Loa, a 14,000 foot peak." Dr. Dryer said.
"I had an 8-room 'cottage,' tennis court, swimming pool and private beach at Pearl Harbor during the year that I was stationed there. It certainly was rough duty," he said, grinning.
Dr. R. M. Dryer, associate geology professor told Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary geology fraternity, about his tour of duty in the Pacific at its annual spring smoker Tuesday night.
It Was 'Rough' War For K.U. Geologist
A lieutenant in the Navy, Dr Dryer was connected with the Bureau of Ordnance and Naval Intelligence. In his off-duty hours, he explored the geology of the Hawaiian Islands.
For a week Dr. Dryer lived on the edge of Mona Klauea, another active volcano, where an observation station has been maintained for many years. Studies of this volcano have been so accurate, Dr. Dryer explained, that the time and violence of its eruptions can be predicted.
