Conforming Smoke Rings? started last Christmas vacation, and I've smoked them ever since. I wanted something to do to keep me awake when I was studying late at night."
Frosh Women Reveal When Smoking Habit Acquired
Statisticians might be interested in knowing that the art of blowing smoke rings is not necessarily a product of college life.
A recent survey taken of ten freshman women reveals that the smoking habit was acquired by six of them before being subjected to the enticing lure of "college conformity."
Here are the comments of some freshman women who have succumbed to the use of nicotine:
Nadine Pedlar, Parsons, "I started smoking when I was a senior in high school just to see what it was like. My friends had Salems then, so they were the ones I started on. Now I've got the menthol habit."
Jorene Ross, Kansas City,
Mo., "Kent was the brand I
picked out at random when I
Linda Gump, Wichita, "I was nervous and wanted something to do, so I started smoking just before I got out of high school. I smoked several brands because they happened to be handy, but soon chose du Maurier."
Judith Kirby, El Dorado, "I began smoking Kents last July because the guy I went with then smoked them. I like them because they're the mildest."
Noreen Mitchell, Prairie Village. "I smoked before I came to college. I started smoking to kill a nervous habit. I smoke Marlboro because I get more out of them than any other cigarette."
Sharlie Warmsley, Leavenworth. "I smoked before I came to college because the group I ran around with smoked. I smoke Pall Mall because I don't like filters and I get flavor out of them."
Sondra Anderson, Osage City,
"I started smoking before I
came to college, probably
because everyone else did. I
started smoking Winston and
just kept the same brand."
Sherry Maule, Wichita, "I started smoking in college because everybody else was. I smoke Kents because they are mild and you hardly know you're smoking."
Judy Smith, Kansas City, Kan., "I didn't smoke until I came to college. I started smoking because I'm a conformist and everyone else did. I smoke Kents because everything else makes me dizzy."

Principles
Campus government seems unable to cope with the major problem which controffits it today. This problem is the lack of student interest in student government. This is evident in organized living groups and even more so among the unorganized independents.
Directly contributing to this problem are two factors:
2. The lack of action by the ASC in matters in which the student body has a genuine concern.
1. The lack of responsible communication between student government and the students.
To solve this problem and to provide for a student government which will be responsive to the genuine concerns of the students, we propose;
I. That the ASC take the initiative in establishing coordinating councils in each living district to facilitate communication between the student body and the ASC.
II. That a response to this genuine concern should be responsible action by the All Student Council in dealing with its annual problem, i.e.
Each organized house within a living district would have one representative on the council. Representation on the councils for the married students and the unorganized independent districts would be on a geographical basis.
1. Intelligent budget action.
2. Responsible committee work and reports.
3. Careful consideration of appointments.
Before student government can
expect to accomplish major changes it must first communicate with the student body. Secondly, it must act responsibly with respect to its annual consideration and then work toward major goals.
We of AGI feel that the present campus government has fallen down in its obligation to consider the attitudes and reflect the opinions of the student body, and in so doing, has failed to stimulate student interest in its actions. We therefore offer the foregoing methods as a means of accomplishing this.
Objectives
I. Coordinating Council — We propose to develop a coordinating council to create a communicating link between the students and their government.
Each living district would have a coordinating council of:
1. One member of each organized house in the district.
2. The All Student Council representatives in that area. The married district and the unorganized independent councils would be based on a geographical basis.
The purpose of these councils would be to communicate with the people of the area, informing them of the action of the ASC, and reflecting their ideas to the ASC.
II. Employment — We propose to make available to all students a list of campus employment opportunities through a student committee working in conjunction with the office of aids and awards.
This list will show when a job has been filled and when the job has been vacated. The duty of this
III. Housing — We propose that the housing committee be expanded to function in the following manner:
committee will be to prepare the list and to strive for better social and economic conditions between the employee and the employer.
1. Grade the available housing, classifying living conditions according to the rental charge.
2. To receive and act upon all student complaints on housing.
