Voice split
could work within the present system.
Other members agreed, saying Voice should continue to work within "the establishment," as it had in drafting the new Senate Code.
Although discussion was lengthy and sometimes heated, no decision was reached.
Jay Barrish, Kansas City, Mo. senior, said he hoped committees to study the problems mentioned would start work this week.
More than 50 persons have offered to serve on these committees.
The committee on student government will devote itself to explaining the Dissenting Report of the Student Faculty Committee on University Governance, the so-called "minority report," to the student body.
Members plan to speak to as many campus groups as possible
Belafonte show

Following the famous singer into the field house were his seven musicians carrying two guitars, three drums and an electric bass.
Meanwhile, the Delores Hall singers arrived on the scene in purple-striped and orange-plaid bell-bottom style pants. Jackie De Shannon sat on an adjacent row of bleachers in casual brown slacks, a patterned crepe blouse and leather boots. As she sat sipping her coke, her straight blonde hair falling loosely past her shoulders, Miss De Shannon spoke freely about her singing career.
"I've just finished a new album 'Laurel Canyon' in Los Angeles," she said flashing a sincere smile. "What groups are big around here? I prefer something soufful—lyrical."
"College students are my favorite audience," she explained. "They are so open and free." The KU concert was Miss De Shannon's first performance with Belafonte. She will travel with him until Oct. 6 as they tour colleges throughout the country.

A few minutes later as Miss De Shannon was called to the stage, Belafonte sat across the platform eating a hamburger and exchanging iokes with singers.
jones Leaning back in the metal chair, he casually explained why he was making a college tour.
"College students are the best of all audiences. There's a basic thrust that young people have. They're terribly committed and are open to new ideas."

Although Belafonte refused to comment on his civil rights activities, his sound manager recalled that a year ago Belafonte played Caesars Palace in Las Vegas giving 11 benefits in 14 days for Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).

In Houston, someone planted a couple of gas bombs in the arena, Scheib said. "That's about all the trouble we've had."

The publicity committee might publish a Voice newspaper of some sort to publicize the group's actions.
Part of the disagreement between members was attributed to the nature of the group. Atkinson said because Voice was not a structured group, "everyone is a leader, therefore all statements are valid." Yet, he felt Voice must act.
An eight-pound, 1,000 page reproduction of Shakespeare's First Folio, the result of almost two years' effort by a University English professor, will be published Oct. 11.
Members also discussed what some felt was poor press coverage of Voice meetings. It was decided that a "press agent" should be appointed and a secretary should keep minutes of all meetings. Some members suggested closed meetings.
Valuable folio to be published
"The Norton Facsimile: The First Folio of Shakespeare," by Charlton J. K. Hinman, is the first successful word-by-word comparison of the copies.
The task was made possible by the professor's invention, the Hinman Collator, which superimposes the image of a page from one copy on top of a page from another copy.
Preparation for the book was extensive. A half-ton camera had to be moved into the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., to photograph the pages chosen by Hinman.
For security purposes, a library staff member was present at every exposure of a first folio. The publisher paid his salarey.
Only 13,500 copies are being printed. Hinman's book will sell for $65 through 1968, and $75 afterward. Previously, good copies of the "First Folio," printed in 1623, have sold for as much as $25,000.
Hinman, a lifelong Shakespearean scholar, has been teaching at KU since 1960
Top KU administrators have refused comment on the proposed Senate Code, except to say the "committee had done a good job."
No comment on proposal
Provost James R. Surface said because the report was not addressed to the administration, it was not appropriate for him to comment. He did say he expects "vigorous debate on the committee's proposals."
Francis Heller, dean of faculties, said the report was of "major importance to the University," but declined comment on the code. Heller termed the report a "remarkable effort."
William M. Balfour, dean of student affairs, said he did not want to prejudice discussion of the report by making any comment. "A great deal of careful work and study has gone into the report," he said.
Film Society plans closed meetings
The KU Film Society plans to operate as a closed society this year, but this does not mean that every film shown will be for members only. Ronald Cote, assistant instructor in math and the society president last year, said.
Film enthusiasts met with club planners Thursday night to hear about organization of the society's second year at KU.
"Many films, such as those from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, cannot be rented except for showings to closed societies." Cote said. "In order to get these films, we would show them to members only."
John Tibbets, Lansing senior who has worked in the planning of the society, said the $5 membership assures a person of being admitted to all film society showings at no entrance charge and entitles the member to a newsletter about scheduled films.
Films will be mostly pre 1940's and are tentatively scheduled for showings on Sunday evenings and afternoons, Cote said.
Lack of federal funds has made doubtful the approval of proposed remedial programs for inadequately prepared graduate students entering chemistry or economics at KU.
Proposed funds doubtful
The departments of chemistry and economics have submitted their proposals under the Department of Health, Education and Welfare Educational Professionals Development Act.
enough success is still possible, William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School, has his doubts.
"Expectations of seeing this thing implemented shouldn't be raised unduly." Albrecht said.
Partially to free the chemistry program from dependence on government funds, Richard Middaugh, assistant professor of chemistry, has been investigating the possibility of a joint program which would incorporate a few midwestern universities.
The economics department proposal was essentially designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged black students from small southern colleges, said Ronald R. Olsen, department chairman.
"we would then be in a position to go out for broad-based support from industries and foundations," Middaugh said.
Both the chemistry and eco- nomics proposals request support for five to 10 students. Participants would receive Master of Science degrees in two years, spending the first year in primarily undergraduate courses and intensive tutorial programs.
Students in the chemistry program would serve as part-time teaching assistants in their second year, Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, said.
Bricker said an informal program for one student was in operation at KU last spring. Supported with four to five hundred dollars from various sources, the student involved is now enrolled in the regular graduate chemistry program and is apparently doing well, Bricker said.
Middaugh and Olsen both think scaled-down programs may be possible next year even if HEW funding is unavailable.
A program similar to the KU proposals was run last year by the chemistry department of Southern University at Baton Rouge, La.
To meet specified federal guidelines, both KU plans are designed as teacher-training programs. Middaugh said his multi-university program need not specifically be structured for this purpose, while both Bricker and Olsen said qualified students would be encouraged to earn a Ph.D. degree rather than immediately begin teaching.
Muskie criticizes Wallace, Nixon
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, at a Topea press conference Friday, called third party presidential hopeful, George Wallace, "a threat to all Americans."
The senator from Maine told a crowd of 450 enthusiastic supporters at a banquet in Kansas City, Kan., Friday night that Wallace's strength in labor unions posed a real danger to the labor movement.
Muskie spent the bulk of his time during his whirlwind tour of Kansas criticizing his opposition-former Alabama governor George Wallace and Republican presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon.
"The Wallace record is clearly anti-labor," he said. "He has
vehemently opposed all prolabor legislation for the last quarter of a century."
Nixon, Muskie said, has been unwilling to debate anyone, including Wallace, adding, "Maybe they don't have any points of disagreement."
Muskie also expressed concern over continual references made by Nixon to the "Humphrey-Johnson administration."
"Why do we never hear of the Nixon-Eisenhower administrations?" he said. "Nixon should be held accountable for the years 1952-60 during which the nation suffered three recessions and first got involved in Vietnam."
