A.S.C. Votes To Refuse To Pay For Publishing Student Directory
The All-Student Council voted Tuesday night to refuse to pay the student directory publishing bill as recommended by its publication committee. The Council, however, did not close the door to any further discussion of the matter.
Although two motions by Anne Scott, chairman of the publications committee, died for want of seconding, her ideas that there was still oppor-
unity for discussion of the directory seemed to be consented to by the Council members.
The sentiment of the meeting was that the administration had taken definite action in distributing the directory and that the Council must take definite action to provide a basis for any negotiations with the administration. The Council members felt that the next step was up to the administration.
The approved motion was made by Tom Harmon, and was passed after much debating. The action followed the report of the publication committee which reported the directory bill and quoted Karl Klooz, bursar, as saying the A.S.C. has no constitutional right to charge for the directory.
The quoted statement was vigorously contradicted by George Caldwell, who said, "The barsar exceeded his authority in adopting the measures he did."
He was supported in his contradiction by Howard Engleman, president of the A.S.C., who said, "I defy our advisor on parliamentary procedure to prove we have done anything unconstitutional in deciding to charge for the directory."
Dean J. H. Nelson, faculty adviser, stated that Mr. Klooz's action was the result of not wishing to become a judge. "I have said he had no legal right to collect."
"I think, though, that Mr. Klooz should have held the directories until the matter had been threshed," he added.
The dean then advised the council to take no further steps in the matter without careful consideration less harsh action lose them the right to publish the directories.
"If the A.S.C. refuses to pay its debts," he said, "the registrar will not cooperate in the next publishing of the directory, and without his cooperation it would be impossible to publish it."
John Gunther, Inter-Fraternity council representative, was sworn into the Council. Bruce Bathurst, who was to replace Gene Alford, Y.M.C.A. representative, was denied a council seat because he had been appointed by the Y.M.C.A. cabinet and not by election of the full Y.M. membership.
The Council also voted that portions of the appropriations for Sachem, the Forums board, W.E.C. Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., and the social committee be frozen until Jan. 15, 1947. This action was taken to protect Council funds in the event the Council pays for the directory, and was taken after a report by Carrol McCue, chairman of the finance committee.
Members absent from the meeting were John May, Owen Peck, and Mary Zollinger.
Directory Press Bill Is $1811, Ryther Says
The cost of printing the student directory comes to exactly $1811.10,
T. C. Rythe, superintendent of the University Press, said today.
That includes the wages of linotype operators, pressmen, and bookbinders, and the cost of materials; he said. In order to beat the original Jan. 1 deadline by two weeks, the press employees worked up to 18 hours a day, including Sundays and holidays.
"That extra work, for which the employees received no overtime pay, made it possible to do four times as much work in about the same time it used to take to put out normal directories," Mr. Ryther said.
Group Will Suggest Dispute Solutions
A joint committee of students and faculty will be called immediately to present recommendations to the administration and to the All Student Council for a settlement of the dispute over who will foot the student directory bill, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, announced today.
This committee, consisting of two faculty members to be appointed by Dean Werner and three students to be appointed by Howard Engleman, A.S.C. president, will interview persons concerned in the publication and distribution of the directory.
Dean Werner also requested that the council appoint a continuing advisory member to bring the functions and duties before the members of standing committees. Since a complete turnover occurs in council every year, the new committees are not always familiar with their duties, he said.
Miss Student Union To Be Named Tonight
Christmas spirit will invade the lounge of the Union building tonight at 7 p.m. as couples dance around the lighted Christmas tree to the music of Jimmy Hollyfield and his orchestra.
The traditional Union Christmas dance will be high-lighted by the crowning of Miss Student Union at 7:30 p.m. Eloise Hodgson, who was Miss Student Union last year, will present the crown.
Carols In Frank Strong
Frank Strong hall will ring with Christmas carois Thursday at 4 p.m. when the University A Cappella choir will present a 30-minute carol fest around the Christmas tree in the rotunda. This custom was started several years ago by the School of Fine Arts.
Six Frats Quit Pachacamac; Form New Party
Striking out at what they termed inefficient and unrepresentative government, six fraternities withdrew from Pachacamac, men's political party, Tuesday night.
The fraternities are Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Donald Pomeroy, College senior, is temporary chairman of the new Progressive party, and Jack Button, College senior, will serve as temporary secretary until a permanent organization has been established.
Pomeroy stated that the split was the result of discontent with the arbitrary machine policies of the Inner Circle of Pachacamac and the exclusion of Independent members from the organization.
"The six houses declined to make overtures to P.S.G.L., the other party," Pomeroy said, "because they felt that the party is controlled by one fraternity and a small clique of Independents."
He declared that since the purpose of the Progressive party is to improve student government by united Greek and Independent action, the houses felt that this goal could best be attained by the creation of a third party free from previous committments.
Some of the tentative proposals of the Progressive party which have been tendered by Greek organizers include:

Examination Schedule

Nearly 200,000 Saw Grid Team
A few more spectators squeezed into a corner somewhere, and the K.U. football team would have played to 200,000 persons this past year.
That was the story released today by the athletic department, which reported that 199,504 persons saw the championship Jayhawkers perform in 10 games.
The figure broke all previous football attendance records. At five home games, 106,004 persons were present, and for five out-of-town games, 93., 500 attended. The 1946 total was about 35 per cent higher than the previous top, in 1930.
