ASC Gets Taste Of Pre-Election 'Shenanigans'
- Pre-election fireworks between campus Greeks and Independents started popping last night.
The All-Student Council, student governing body, was hit first, as Mt. Oread political leaders attempted to outwit each other.
Definite results were a bit hazy,
but this much was certain:
The Council didn't meet at its regular time because an Independent "boycott" left it without a quorum.
The council finally did meet later, after the deadline for its gathering, but under a protest which may make its actions illegal.
Cause for the absence of most Independent members of the ASC last night apparently was the scheduled installation of Howard Engleman, first-year law student and former All-American basketball star for K. U., into the group.
Independent spokesman claim that Engleman is to be the Greek candidate for ASC presidency. To be eligible, he must have served on the Council, and to make room for him on the Council—so the Independents said—Pachacamac had Glenn Warner resign as Interfraternity Council representative, to be replaced by Engleman.
Without a quorum, the Council representatives held no session at 7:15 p.m. the time scheduled. Later after the 8:30 deadline set for ASC meetings—Eugenia Hepworth, Fine Arts senior and ASC president returned to the Union, to preside over a meeting called when more Council members appeared.
At this later meeting, the Council installed Engleman.
One interruption in this delayed meeting came after the roll was called. Clyde Jacobs, a member of the Student Court, wrote out an "injunction" against Miss Hepworth, stating she had "no right" to conduct the meeting after the deadline. The ASC president held the meeting, anyway.
Dixie Gilliland, College senior, was appointed acting Council secretary, and reported today that members present were Betty Ball, Homer Evans, Marguerita Kerschen, Mary Jane Zollinger, Emily Stacy, Joan Anderson, George Darsie, Richard Nelson, Caroline Morriss, Carolyn Nigg, Glenn Warner, Lois Thompson, Seall Macferran, Charles Hall, Guy Ashcraft, Eugenia Hepworth, and Dixie Gilliland.
Members absent from the meeting included Dick Hollingsworth, Billie Marie Hamilton, Anna Stevens, Wendell Nickell, Helen Howe, Franzena Jackson, Shirley Wellborn, Jane Peterson, Carrol McCue, Emily Hollis, George Caldwell, and George Worrell.

'Modern Classical Music Added To Swing Plus Basie Style Make Raeburn Rhythms'

"The stuff we play." Raeburn explains, "is modern classical music applied to swing. We've based it on the theory of modern music as presented by Hindemuth, the Harvard professor, and we follow the lines of the great contemporary moderns, Stravinsky and Shostavayov. Actually we are presenting new sounds in jazz by introducing extra notes in chords. Mix this was the adaptations of the Count Basie jump style and you've got Rhythms by Raeburn."
Since that time he has appeared in New York, Chicago, and on the west coast. Last year Raeburn's band was named the 11th best band in the country by the Metronome music magazine poll.
