THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Tuesday, October 15.1968
'Open meetings,' Voice says
(Continued from page 1) asked to leave. Another was barred from the meeting.
A third Kansan staff member later entered the meeting without identifying himself as a member of the press and remained for the duration of the meeting.
Atkinson issued a press statement following the meeting which did not include any mention of Voice's plans for the Oct. 29 University Senate meeting.
Atkinson said the press should be excluded to avoid "distortion" of Voice actions.
In other actions at last night's meeting, Voice:
- Decided to print 5,000 copies of the minority report.
- Made plans to circulate a
petition in support of the minority report.
- Announced that the Voice Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) newspaper committee will meet at 8:30 tonight at 2350 Ridge Court, Apartment 37.
- Planned to continue speaking to KU living groups on the minority report.
A representative from the Los Angeles Coalition, apparently a New Left group, attending the meeting told the group he was impressed with Voice and its meeting. A national Students for a Democratic Society member present said that college students in the Midwest are not as active as those on the West and East Coasts.
He said that members of groups such as Voice should de-emphasize individualism and should not wear long hair. "We should step into the shoes of the people out there," he said.
Voice designates no chairman to preside over meetings, although an unofficial moderator sometimes recognizes those wanting to speak. A five-member coordinating committee plans meetings, and anyone wanting to speak stands and is heard by the group. Votes are rarely taken on proposals; members attending usually reach a general agreement if there is no widespread dissention. A person is considered a member of Voice if he merely attends meetings.
Student labor union isn't
There is no student labor union.
One cafeteria employee and the coordinating committee meet last night to organize Student Cafeteria Workers' Union (SCWU).
"This effort to organize a union is a miserable flop," Dick Thorn, Mission junior and spokesman for the coordinating counittee, said. "Our response didn't turn out to be as big as our forecast predicted."
Issuing a call to organize last week, the committee claimed support of the majority of KU student cafeteria employees. Originally scheduled for last Wednesday, the organizational meeting was postponed until yesterday because "several members of the coordinating committee were unable to attend," Thorn said earlier.
"We attribute this failure to organize to an inept coordinating committee and lack of interest among students," Thorn said. Other coordinating members are Reed Kline, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore and John Cadwalader. Mission sophomore.
Although the committee failed to organize a union, their time has not been wasted, Kline said. "We've drawn attention to several problems, including inadequate wages."
"There are 60-year-old men working for $1.30 an hour," Kline said, referring to the comparable student wage. "It's kind of ridiculous."
Other committee appeals included:
- Free meals for employs.
- More employees to aid the labor shortage.
- Improved safety conditions.
- Improved safety conditions.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, agreed with Kline, admitting, "there are cooks who aren't paid adequate salaries either."
The source of wages for student cafeteria employees, however, comes from KU students—not the state. Wilson said.
Asked if the situation could be changed, Wilson admitted it "could."
A KUOK reporter suggested the committee organize a boycott to stop serving food. "Students would start gripping and then something might get done."
"And I'd have four ulcers," Wilson added with a grin.
The committee said they will not continue plans to organize, but will channel their efforts in other areas:
"Law and order were the real issues. The administration should have nipped this thing in
the bud before it got out of hand." Cadwalader said.
"Che Guevara's ghost appeared and, because we're so persuasive, asked us to go to Bolivia and win the minds and hearts of the peasants," said Thorn.
The voter must be registered if he lives in any first or second-class city.
Last day to register
TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI)—Today is the last day for Kansas voters to register for the Nov. 5 general election.
Kline said, "Actually, we're going to stay right here at KU and organize monkeys in the biology lab. They only make peanuts, you know."
Registration is also required in the townships adjacent to the city of Wichita and in the rural areas of Johnson, Shawnee and Wyandotte counties.
Registration is permanent in Kansas and re-registration is not necessary unless the voter has failed to vote at the last general election, has moved since he last registered.
Registration is completed in the office of the county election officer or at other places established by the county election officer. Any person who is sick, physically disabled or absent from the county may register by mail.
