Korea's Rhee Quits In 'Near Disgrace'
SEOUL, Korea—(UPI)—President Syngman Rhee resigned today in near disgrace and turned over the leadership of South Korea to Foreign Minister Hu Chung, a scrupulously honest friend he once fired for criticizing graft in the government.
Hu, 64, promised new elections within three months, appealed to President Eisenhower not to cancel his scheduled visit to South Korea, promised a real constitutional government once his caretaker days are over and called for closer ties with Washington.
Lack of Quorum
(Continued from page 1)
The bill, proposed by Betty Bumgarner, Tuisa, Okla., senior; will die if the new council does not take action on it.
Council members present again stated the ASC's reasons for not granting the foreign student representative a voting seat on the council. The reasons were:
1. The proposal is unconstitutional. The ASC constitution states that the All Student Council shall consist of representatives elected from the nine academic schools of the University, and from the eight student living districts.
2. The Associated Women Students and the International Club are allowed speaking representatives on the ASC because it is felt that these representatives can contribute to the meeting. However, since the foreign students are already represented in their living districts there is no reason for them to have a vote on the ASC.
Betty Bumgarner, secretary of the ASC, said that the present set-up calls for the elections committee to assist the International Club in electing its representative. She said that in the fall of 1959 the International Club stated that they wanted to conduct their own elections.
A constitutional amendment which proposed that foreign students be granted a separate electoral district of their own was recently defeated by the ASC.
Kennedy Resigns
Denis Kennedy, Dublin, Ireland, graduate student, told the Daily Kansan yesterday that he resigned as foreign student representative to the ASC because he was not being permitted to vote in the meetings. The international Club also said it planned to take its ASC dispute to the Student Court unless the ASC grants the foreign student representative a vote.
ASC members said no formal resignation by Kennedy has been submitted to the council.

Eisenhower said he still had every intention of making his scheduled June 22 visit to South Korea.

Acting Korean President Hu Chung renewed the invitation today after taking over from Rhee.
Hu also said martial law would remain in effect for a while because Rhee's hated police who shot and killed more than 150 demonstrating students in the past week were "powerless now" to maintain order. Most of them fled their posts.
Austrian Evening
The National Assembly meets tomorrow to consider Rhee's resignation and it appeared the end of the political trail for Korea's 85-year-old "George Washington" would be an ignominious one. Not a voice was expected to be raised in protest. His own liberal party deserted him at the end and may never again be a major political factor.
Coffee and Dancing
In Washington, President Eisenhower revealed today he had warned Korean President Syngman Rhee that trouble might come from reported irregularities in last month's South Korean elections. But he denied any suggestion that the United States had intervened in that country's internal affairs.
Earl L. Falkenstien, business manager of athletics, said today that the KU Relays would at least break even this year.
Mr. Falkenstien said that all bills had not been received and that final figures would not be known for at least two weeks.
Relays Declared Financial Success
"We were pleased by the turnout of the students Saturday. There were more than 2,500 which means an additional $1,250 we didn't have last year," he said.
Students were charged fifty cents admission for the first time this year. Relay officials had said that the financial situation dictated the admission price.
Mr. Falkenstien said that this was the first time in three years that there had been two days of good weather back-to-back for the meet. He said the weather is all important in turnouts to track meets. There was an estimated

A new track of volcanic ash was laid for this year's Relays. It was estimated to cost $2,500 before installation, but indications now point to a much higher cost.
Mr. Falkenstien said that plans are already being made with the Chamber of Commerce to help presell the Relays in future years to assure its success.
This expense may detract from the financial results.
