Political science grad students represented at faculty meetings
The year-old Political Science Graduate Student Association is the first such group to be represented at departmental faculty meetings, said Bill Henderson, graduate student and chairman.
The group was granted formal representation at political science meetings the second week of November, Henderson said. The association will also be listed as a University organization.
The association will provide contact between graduate students and faculty.
"The purposes of the association include study, making recommendations and improving
communications between graduate students and faculty," he said.
Henderson and three graduate students will be represented at the faculty meetings.
"If any graduate student has problems, he can contact any representative who will relay the problem to the faculty." Henderson said.
A committee is now reviewing the study of graduate courses. Graduate students are informed by a special letter sent out regularly.
Henderson said machinery will be set up to collect graduate students' opinions about the hiring and promotion of faculty
members. Student evaluations of courses offered within the department are also being made.
"The most important aspect of our representation, is the two graduate students who are members of the graduate studies committee," Henderson said. "This committee is represented by five faculty members and two graduate students."
All 12,500 bowl tickets sold
The 12,500 Orange Bowl tickets allotted to KU have been sold, Monte Johnson, KU athletic business manager, said last night.
Henderson said that this committee studies such problems as comprehensive examinations, the addition or replacement of two-hour credit seminars with three-hour credit seminars, reappraisal of graduate requirements and a progress report from the graduate student committee on evaluation of teaching progress.
The Orange Bowl game was already a sellout several weeks ago, except for the 25,000 tickets reserved for the two competing schools. About 78,000 persons are expected to attend the New Year's night spectacle.
"We hope to have the tickets in the mail by Dec. 15," Johnson said. The tickets were sold out two days before the Dec. 6 deadline.
The Jayhawk business manager said Penn State officials told him they had also received more requests for tickets than their 12,500 allotment.
The Jayhawks resumed workouts Monday and will continue daily practices until Dec. 19, when they will take a Christmas break. The team will reassemble Dec. 25 to prepare for their Dec. 26 trip to Miami.
Henderson credited much of the success of graduate representation to many members of the political science faculty.
"We asked for representation in order to 'provide a channel for student opinion, improve student-faculty communication, and provide experience through student participation,'" Henderson said.
The future activities of the Political Science Graduate Students Association are not necessarily limited to departmental concerns but may involve issues affecting the University and the community as a whole, he added.

The Freshman Senate never got off the ground and it looks as if it may be buried, at least for this semester.
Freshman Senate marked by apathy
All interested freshmen were invited to attend the first session of the Senate which was held Saturday morning. Interest was slight, however, and only six people showed up, said Linda Wright, Emporia freshman and co-chairman of the Senate steering committee.
"In all probability, the Senate will be dissolved now," Miss Wright said. The decision of whether to dissolve the Senate will be made at Thursday's cabinet meeting, she said.
topics for discussion at future Senate sessions were to be decided during Saturday's meeting.
Originally, freshmen committees were to be organized and
"We might try to reorganize the Senate next semester." Miss Wright said, "But the lack of interest shown Saturday indicates that we probably won't be able to continue the Senate this semester."
