Council Allocates $3,978.46 Budget
By Byron Klapper
The All Student Council last night allowed $3,978.46 in budget appropriations to eight of the nine student organizations requesting funds.
Sigma Alpha Eta, a speech correction honorary society, was refused its request for $20 on the basis that the committee and a representative of the society reached the decision that the organization did not come under the jurisdiction of the ASC.
The appropriations were discussed and voted upon on the basis of a report delivered by Barbara Rhodes, Little River junior and chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee.
THE ASC CUT the original total request of $4.633 by $649.54 or approximately 14 per cent.
Groups hardest hit by the Student Council decision were: the Engineering Student Council, suffering an approximate 36 per cent reduction, the Business School Council with an approximate 33 per cent reduction, the combined Pep Clubs with an approximate 32 per cent reduction, and the Mortar Board with a 20 per cent reduction.
The Finance Committee recommended a cut of $70 from the Engineering Student Council budget for council keys. It was the feeling of the committee that the council should supply its own keys from its own funds.
THE INVESTIGATING group cut $50 from the Business School Council which had appropriated the money for guest speakers in the second semester and entertainment.
One of the five fund requests by the Combined Pep Clubs was a $225 request for four pages in the Jayhawker. The Finance Committee did not consider this a reasonable request and reduced that sum to $170.
There was also considerable debate whether the ASC should finance $90 for student misrations to the KU-Missouri football game and the KUK-State basketball game as a Combined Pep Club function.
Jerry Palmer, Colby senior felt that an appropriation for migration should be completely cut. Palmer said:
"Only about 60 students out of the 10,000 will be able to go on these
migrations and they will be personally benefitted by going. If a student goes as an ambassador of KU he should be financed. If he goes for his personal pleasure he should pay his own way."
TOM HEITZ, Kansas City, Mo. junior argued that "without this subsidy from the ASC many students would not attend these migrations. The two dollars per student that the ASC puts toward the migration is very important to students who have no other means of transportation other than group buses," he said.
Friday, Oct. 21, 1960
The issue to cut the $80 from the budget was voted on and defeated.
The Mortar Board had a $25 appropriation for paddles which the finance committee rejected. It was the committee's opinion that paddles should be furnished out of the group's own funds.
Although the Associated Women Students had the largest number of cuts in its budget, its actual reduction from the original request was approximately 12 per cent.
b) House of Representatives Function, reduced from $300 to $180.
c) Service Committee, reduced from $100 to $75.
a) Conventionsj reduced from $400 to $300.
The following reductions were made within the AWS request:
g) IAWS State Meet, cut completely.
h) Roles of Women, reduced from $100 to $50.
Alpha Phi Omega had $5 reduced from its publicity committee request. The Student Religious Council received their entire fund request as did the Student Bar Association.
f) Book List Committee, reduced from $50 to $15.
e) Memorial Scholarship, reduced from $50 to $30.
d) Personnel Committee, reduced from $50 to $30.
The organizations and the funds they received are as follows.
AWS, $2.345; combined Pep Club,
$650; Student Religious Council,
$300; Alpha Phi Omega, $143; Mortar
Board, $80; Engineering Student
Council, $35.46; Business School
Student Council, $100; Student Bar
Association, $325, and Sigma Alpha
Eta, nothing. The total is $3,978.46

Anderson Hits Docking Claim
Attorney General John Anderson. Republican candidate for governor, lashed out at Gov. George Docking's claims of increasing faculty salaries at state colleges and universities according to the United Press International.
Speaking at a Labette County Republican meeting, Mr. Anderson said the Governor is falsely taking full credit for the 30 per cent increase in salaries that has occurred during his administration.
"Docking recommended to the legislature increases totaling 13 per cent in three of the four most recent legislative sessions." he said. "In the 1959 session he recommended no increase at all. Yet now he is taking credit for the full 30 per cent."

The candidates set aside most of today for conferences with aides and study in preparation for the fourth encounter, which will be viewed by millions of voters.

MILWAUKEE — Henry Cabot Lodge campaigned here today with a new program for a strengthened United Nations and a flat assertion that the United States should use its veto power, if necessary, to keep Red China out of the UN.
Into the campaign controversy over the level of U.S. prestige in the world, Lodge also injected a new note. He said the confusion over national prestige arises from the belief that a country like the United States can be loved by other nations.
Before leaving Minneapolis, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations outlined an eight-point program for UN action to prevent international tension and "eliminate the economic and social shortcomings of the less developed regions." He presented the plan in a nationally televised speech.
"A nation as great and powerful as the United States is not loved. But it can be respected," Lodge said.
LODGE PROPOSED the UN
—Expand the work of four existing United Nations activities—technical assistance, special fund, world bank and international development associations.
—"Never stop trying" in efforts toward disarmament guaranteed by inspection.
—Establish an economic planning bureau in the United Nations so that the newly emerging nations could seek investment capital armed with sound and realistic programs "certified by the UN."
- Enlarge the UN secretary general's programs for supplying new nations with skilled administrators until they can train their own leaders.
—Establish at least one program each year to "maintain momentum in the war on human suffering"—starting with President Eisenhower's food for peace program.
-Help write international treaties in the manner of the Antarctica treaty covering potential scenes of world conflict.
"Double or treble" the present 200-man UN security force, recruiting members from many countries and giving them regular police training.
Challenge the Soviet Union in the UN to move toward an open world "free from secrecy and censorship" which would enable the Rus-

Schoeppel Target For Theis Charge
PITTSBURG—(UPI)—Frank Theis, Democratic candidate for the Senate, charged last night that Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel "is basing his entire campaign" on what he feels is the "gullibility of the voters."
Theis declared that Schoeppel feels this "gullibility" means the voters of Kansas will accept "his spoken and written word as fact."
Theis also said at a Democratic gathering here that he wasn't satisfied with his opponent's explanation of why he denied he had been chairman of the Senate sub-committee on surface transportation.
Schoeppel said Wednesday he had misunderstood a reporter's question at a news conference in Topeka, when he said he had not been chairman of the sub-committee.
"For a man so peculiarly barren of distinction in the U.S. Senate and habitually so eager to exaggerate minor accomplishments, to miss an opportunity to brag of a sub-committee chairmanship cannot easily be attributed to misunderstanding." Theis said.
"I have been reliably informed," Theis said, "that Sen. Schoeppel was questioned by newsmen at length as to whether he was or ever had been chairman of the subcommittee on surface transportation. He was also asked whether he had ever served as an acting or temporary chairman of that committee. His reply to all questions was an unqualified 'no.'"
Since his untrue statement was an obvious attempt to evade the most serious inference of influence pedding," Theis declared, "his desire to draw a smoke screen, and leave it hanging, is quite understandable."
Theis said if it is a "common mistake" to "misunderstand" very clear questions asked by veteran reporters, it is clearly an uncommon deceit to allow the resulting truth to stand for eight days without correction or explanation."
