ASC challenges season ticket policy
By TOM WEINBERG Kansan Staff Writer
Members of the All-Student Council (ASC) last night criticized the system of selling basketball season tickets at KU, saying students often are unable to purchase the tickets. ASC also formed a committee to try to solve the problem.
Members of the ASC discussed the problem of the availability of season tickets and the headache involved in purchasing them.
Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex. graduate student and chairman of the ASC, said, "Last year the tickets ran out before all the students had a chance to buy them."
Season tickets went on sale today at Allen Field House. Sales are scheduled to continue through Friday.
Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village senior and fraternity representative, said, "I think it is unnecessary that students have to stand in line for hours when all they
One member of the ASC expressed concern over the fact that many children are reserved the right to purchase tickets for 50 cents when these tickets could go for KU student season tickets.
would need to do is make an X on a card at the beginning of the year if they want a season ticket, just like when they want a yearbook."
At present, only 7,000 season tickets are available for 17,000 students. 500 tickets are available to students up through high school for 50 cents.
Contacted later, Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, said the season ticket situation has not changed lately. Stinson said:
"Until members of the ASC sit down with me and discuss the matter, and I would be glad to discuss it with them anytime, I see no existing problem in the selling of season tickets."
The committee formed to try to secure more season tickets for KU students and talk to the seating board were: Dave Miller, Glennview, Ill., senior; Martha
Fowler, Osawatomie sophomore;
Frank Zilm, St. Louis junior,
and Jim Craig, Waterville, Ohio,
pharmacy student.
Leffel, reporting the work the ASC committees are doing, said:
"We have more than 100 people on these committees. The Athletic Cooperation Board is now studying people drinking at games. Tomorrow night the Academic Affairs Committee will meet to discuss several issues of concern. Other committees are working on various projects."
In other business, Von Ende disputed the number of people the Student Advisory Board is considering for the selection of the next Chancellor.
"The 20 people listed as considered for the job of chancellor in the Lawrence Journal World is incorrect. We have at least 150-200 names under consideration. More names have been and still are being considered for the job."
Seniors support 'fast'
The officers of the class of 1969 have asked all seniors to support the ASC-sponsored Educational Opportunity Fund. The fund will help make it possible for Lawrence area students to attend KU. The ASC is urging all students to fast tomorrow night in support of the fund drive.
"Senior Power" is being called on to give;
"Speaking for all class officers, I would like to urge all seniors to take the lead in donating to this worthwhile cause," John Hill, class president, said. "The officers have decided to donate $100 from the class treasury to the fund."
Hill, from Prairie Village, said the money is being donated through the newly formed senior class committee on social concern. Les Watson, Silver Lake senior, is chairman of the committee, he said. Anyone with ideas for this committee should
contact Watson at 1647 Missis sippi Street.

The CPA people, after telling us a bit about the profession, and why it offers a rosy future for a college man, offered to send interested students a booklet with the whole CPA story.
That part got left out of the ad.
There was just white space, starring up blankly at the reader. Disconcerting, Phantasmal. Spooky.
The booklet, with the whole CPA story, will be sent to you if you write: Dept. A-11, AICPA, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10019.
