'Dog Daze' Hits Student Council
By Ray Miller
Somebody has succeeded in "seeding" our cloud with enough confusion to cause its rapid dissipation, leaving us in an exceedingly embarrassing position.
While we plummet into the fray surrounding recent actions of our noble All Student Council, we should like to make a few observations.
We have seen reports from sources, working for somebody called special interest groups, alluding that the council is;
1. Against organized dogs.
2. Against organized debaters.
2. Against organized debaters.
3. Against organized foreign students.
4. Against a do-something council (whatever that is).
The first point was brought to our attention by "Sarge" while in his temporary abode at the city dog pound. "Sarge" contends that the ASC was behind the roundup of his constituents, and that he cannot condone the Facist techniques used to effect their confinement.
However, when "Sarge" got right down to corps he admitted
LOUREN
right down to cases, he admitted that he was joining the "band wagon" and lodged his protests against the council just to express his displeasure about his situation in general.
"Sarge" seems to be doing what a lot of people are doing around the campus these days — growling at action taken for the good of the majority, rather than for the few.
His case is almost like that of the organized debaters. Here this group of worthy persons has gone out and brought national fame to the University, and the ASC had the audacity to suggest that their budget was a wee might out of order. Teh. Teh. Undermining the morale of our great University. Shades of George's tight-budget policy.
Of course, when you get right down to cases, the administration and debaters were just growling at their situation in general also.
Nobody likes to have it pointed out to them that their finances are shaky. Of course the fact that student funds have been supplementing an inadequate University debate squad budget was forgotten amidst the cries of "the ASC doesn't love us anymore."
We think, however, that when the tears have dried and our articulate little friends are on their way to their debate with a pat on the head and the blessings (and at long last, proper financing from the proper source) of Momma University, hurt feelings will be forgotten.
Maybe, by next year, when the squad finds itself assured of the necessary funds from the parent organization, they will even thank the ASC.
What really shook us to our foundations, however, was the fact that the ASC has not followed the national trend of assuring minority groups of special privileges. (The Kansan, Tuesday, April 19 - Letters to the Editor.)
Here are these poor foreign students who only get to vote in their proper living and school districts like the rest of us poor people.
Now it only seems right that the Council should grant these people a special vote. After all, they are our guests. Of course, if the foreign students get a special representative with voting powers, it would only be right for the "Beats" and other special interest groups on campus to get a vote.
Oh. Democracy, what foolish ideas are formulated in thy name.
Take it to court, boys.
Ah, the beautiful prose of Mr. Yocom is still ringing in my ears (The Kansan, Tuesday, April 19 — The Isolationists.) What beauty, what forceful simplicity. "Keep the animals in booze and beer." Notice that rhythm. "Complacency." Note the use of original words and their rolling tones.
(The above was a payola advertisement sponsored by "Sarge.")
ASC, ARISE FROM YOUR COMPLACENCY. HEED MR. YOCOM. JOIN DOG LOVERS EVERYWHERE AND MARCH ON THE DOG POUND TO PROTEST UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ORGANIZED DOGS. JOIN THE BAND WAGON AND PASS A RESOLUTION.
We are about to meet good old terra firma so we had best close and prepare to take our lumps.

Census Takers in Home Stretch Drive
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The nation's census takers are heading down the home stretch in their race to count 180 million Americans by the end of this month.
The Census Bureau said 148,242-224 persons — 83 per cent of the anticipated total—were counted by midnight Saturday. A spokesman said that except for a few trouble spots the counting will be finished sometime next week.
More than half of the enumerators have completed their work by counting each man, woman and child in 83,737 districts across the country.

Students interested in applying for staff positions on the student directory next year are asked to contact Gerald Andre, Honolulu, Hawaii, sophomore.
