The chief purpose of the Kansas legislative council is to prepare a program for the ensuing session of the state legislature, F. H. Guild director of the research department of the Kansas legislative council explained last night on "Your Kansas Government" program over KFKU.
According to Mr. Guild, the state of Kansas was the first-to have a legislative council, which was established in 1933. Ten states now have such a council.
Council has 27 Members
The council meets four times a year when the legislature is not in session, with the lieutenant-governor acting as chairman and the speaker as vice-chairman. It is composed of 27 members.
Mr. Guild expressed the success of the council as "batting much better than 300." Most of its recommendations receive definite consideration by the legislature, he said

"In a number of cases improvement was shown following the check four weeks before," Dean Ulmer stated. "On this basis the four-weeks check-up for freshmen and sophomores is proving to be worth-while."
Only a few lower classmen failed to report to their advisers at mid-semester, he added. Those students who did not appear will be sent for and their conference will be held, Dean Ulmer stated.
