BSA gets 50 per cent vote More exhibit space available at Watson
Business students have been granted 50 per cent voting membership in the Undergraduate Affairs Committee.
This decision was made by the Committee at a meeting Friday.
The proposal for 50 per cent membership was initiated by the Business Student Association (BSA), which includes all students in the School of Business.
It was sponsored at the Undergraduate Affairs Committee meeting by Richard Pollay, chairman of the Committee.
A member of the BSA steering Committee, Conni Tobin, Prairie Village junior was present at the meeting to answer questions and clarify the BSA viewpoint.
Presently, there are 14 voting members of the Committee, all of whom are also faculty members. Seven of the 14 members will now be students, with full voting privileges.
The selection of the student members will be made by the BSA. Miss. Tobin said.
She said the BSA will send one representative from each of the following groups: Phi Chi Theta, Accounting Society, Delta Sigma
Chrysler to aid city's ghettos
ATLANTA (UPI)—A program to aid the ghettos by pouring more than $1 million into Negro banks in three U.S. cities has been announced by one of the nation's major automobile manufacturers, Chrysler Corporation.
Under the program, Chrysler Corp. representatives said the company would deposit $100,000 monthly in a Negro-owned bank in Atlanta, and additional money in banks in Los Angeles and Detroit to enable them to make short-term mortgage loans to black business interests in the ghetto.
The company would also provide for training of 3,000 minority group youths, primarily Negroes, in auto mechanic apprenticeships and expand the number of Negro-owned Chrysler dealerships around the country.
Pi, and Beta Gamma Sigma, all business student associations.
He said more than $1 million would be deposited in the Negro-owned Citizens Trust Bank of Atlanta, but no figure was available on deposits to be made in the Bank of Finance in Los Angeles and with a new bank being organized in the black community in Detroit.
Two members will be chosen from the Undergraduate Affairs subcommittee, and one member and an alternate from the BSA steering committee, she said.
Miss Tobin said the faculty reacted favorably to the proposal and there was little opposition.
"The faculty made the first steps toward this. I was amazed by the number of faculty members who supported this proposal," she said.
In other action, the Committee passed a proposal designed to aid socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
This program will consist of an access to aid through the financial aid office and possibly summer jobs for such students.
The program is specifically designed for students who are interested in business careers.
Qualified students will be recruited from junior colleges and high schools in Kansas.
The qualification of the students will be determined by individual interviewing teams, school recommendations and community references.

Students have voice in policy
Students are for the first time taking an active part in deciding academic policy for the microbiology department.
One graduate student and one undergraduate student were selected to represent students at the monthly faculty meetings.
David Paretsky, department chairman, emphasizes student representatives are not merely observers, but have a full voice in formulating academic policy.
This semester's representatives are Linda Boone, Kansas City senior, and Robert Peterson, Middletown, Pa., graduate student.
"It has already become evident this faculty-student relationship has eliminated certain problems which otherwise might have been inevitable." Peterson said.
Paretsky also feels student participation has been successful. He said, "The presence of the students at our staff meetings has provided an excellent liaison between students and faculty."
The transfer of the special book collections to Spencer Research Library has added several exhibit cases to Watson Library.

Helyar, who has been a member of the library staff for two years takes great pride in the exhibits. Although he does few of them himself, Helyar is responsible for an supervises the monthly change of exhibits.
Most of the exhibits are carefully timed to relate with campus, national and international happenings. November's main exhibit was the collected works of C. P. Snow, who spoke at the dedication of Spencer Research Library last month.
Helyar said the main purpose of the exhibit is to motivate student reading on the topics exhibited.
"We don't get any feedback from the students or comments on the exhibit," said Helyar, "we just hope the exhibit will act as a stimulus to the student."
Last October a special exhibit was presented to commerate the October Revolution in Cuba,
One of Helyar's favorite exhibits was a recent display of government documents. He said few people actually know what a document really is.
"We showed the government as a publisher," said Helyar, "The selection of federal documents was intended to point out the tremendous spread of their publications. We had government cookbooks, maps and guidebooks as well as many other books that fall in the category of documents."
