UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
IS University Senate
Usurping Students' Rights?
(Continued from page 1)
Herschel Washington, President of the Men's Student Council, said: "The University Senate should certainly go back to a pre-war basis and even still farther. It should go through a period of reconstruction. The Senate has taken initiative away from the students to a very great degree. The Senate criticizes the methods the students use, but offers no better plans for their use. The students should have some form of representation of the student body in the Senate. One member of both the men and women's council should be in the Senate, so that the students' point of view would be broached whenever a discussion, in which they are involved, should arise."
"The class parties should be open to all the University because there are not enough students in any one class to make, the party a success," said Fred Rigby, Manager of tme Journalism Jazz. "The University should slowly revert back to the pre-war basis in the next quarter and then let things run their natural course. The Senate is entirely too Prussian its attitude toward the student enlistment. I believe that the students should be allowed to set their own prices for the class parties and then if some of the students were disassatisfied let them stay away from the parties."
"Conditions in the University are now in acritical condition," said Charles Shofatfail, Manager of the Junior Prom. "I think that student representation in the Senate would help clear up matters and give a better understanding of student affairs."
"I see no reason for student representation in the Senate," said George O. Foster, registrar. "Provision for students' voice in affairs is taken care of by the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association through the Student Interests Committee. I believe that this committee is willing to listen to and present any complaints and petitions if they seem reasonable and appear to represent real student opinion. There is no desire on the part of the Senate to take the initiative from anyone if those bodies which are established will only go ahead and do things. If the Senate wanted to take control from students they would abolish the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association."
"Student representation would help faculty to get opinion of the students and help the students to see the side of the faculty," said George Melvin, one of the managers of the Law Scrium. "Representation should come from the different schools and the place of the students should be that of an advisory body without the power to vote."
Dr. Alberta Corbin, dean of women, said, "Recently the Student Interests Committee has been co-operating with students but no formal committee has been appointed. I favor student committees which unobtrudely will be formed without delay. In my opinion the greatest of the universities of Kansas is co-operation between students and faculty in setting high standards of vital thing in every student's life of the students."
"Ihink the Student Council should have more power to act or that the students should be given representation in the Senate," said Hugo "Dutch" Wedell, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A. "I believe that class parties should be stricty class affairs in order that a greater class consciousness might be developed. The University should not go back to a pre-war basis in regard to physical education. It has been shown that physical education is a very lival thing in every student's life and it should not be discontinued just because the war is over."
"Bob" Lynn, manager of the Soph Hop, said. "The University should go through a period of reconstruction that would not only put it on a prewar basis but would make things better than before the war. The student council should be the governing body of all student affairs. At present the council is a faace. The present tendency is to put all power in the hands of the Senate and to take initiative away from the student body. The students of Lawrence high school are given more power of initiative than the students of the University."
"The Senate should no more regulate the prices of the dances than it should regulate the kind of clothing worn by the students," said W. O. Hamilton, director of athletics. "These matters should be left to the
ideas and tastes of the students. never saw so many rules in a University in my life—there are so man that it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to keep you right."
"Why not try a Parent Government Association?" asked Olin Templin, dean of the College. "Pick out one hundred parents (not merely millionaires or those with high social status) and write to them asking their opinions regarding the prices of the parties."
"I do not believe that there should be student membership in the Senate," said L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism, "But I do believe that the Senate should have access to information from the students—from a committee which is organized of students with good level heads and which is larger than the student council. Representatives of student publications should be represented in the Senate. Profiling should be cut out of the management of the big parties. It is not the one who needs the money who usually gets it. The parties should be managed by students but honor should be their only compensation."
