Two Plants Will Build Near Lawrence
Plans to more than double the size of the Kansas Power & Light Co. generating station at Cameron Bluff, three miles northwest of Lawrence, and the construction of a three million to four million dollar chemical plant about two miles northwest of Lawrence are expected to provide more power for the industrial growth of the city.
The Callery plant will produce new high-powered fuels to make aircraft and missiles fly farther, higher and faster. Construction is scheduled to begin soon and the plant is expected to begin operation by early next year.
The plans were announced Tuesday by Balfour S. Jeffrey, president of KPL, and by the Callery Chemical Co. of Callery, Pa., and Pittsburgh.
The estimated 14 million dollar construction project by KPL, combined with the present 151/2 million dollar installation at Cameron Bluff, will bring the total worth of the 50-acre site to nearly 31 million dollars.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy was one of the first individuals talked to in the bid for the Calery plant. He pledged the aid of KU facilities.
Dr. W. H. Schechter, who received his master's and doctor's degrees from the University, is vice president of operations for the Callery Company.
Quorum Present; ASC Elects Officers
By JOHN EATON
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Smooth action and good attendance characterized the All Student Council meeting Tuesday. Only three members were missing from the 24-member Council. James Schultz, Salina junior and outgoing president, installed Robert G. Billings, Russell sophomore, the new president. Council officers were elected.
A caucus held earlier by the Allied Greek-Independent party led to machine-like nominations and voting in the AGI controlled Council.
In a matter of minutes the four Council officers had been unanimously elected. They are:
Richard P. Patterson, Kansas City,
Mo. sophomore, chairman; Sharon
Sue Stout, Wichita sophomore, vice
chairman; Carolyn Bailey, Scranton
junior, secretary, and Sharon Sue
Dye, Wichita sophomore, treasurer.
Outlines Plans
"During the summer I hope several members will be able to attend student government meetings to see how other schools have set up student government, and to explore new areas for Council activity next fall.
Patterson outlined tentive plans for future Council action.
"Next fall we hope to set up a training period to orient new members on operating under the new constitution.
"Our main goal is to see that we have effective student government next year," Patterson said. "The students have elected very capable members to the Council. I believe they will work effectively and will give us a council that all students will be proud of.
"Before school is out we want to set up committees and work out difficulties involved in revising the constitution.
The Council accepted a resolution to seat representatives from two districts even though 75 ballots weren't cast in the recent general election.
It voted to seat candidates who received the plurality of votes in living district VI. professional fraternities, and in the School of Journalism.
These members would be allowed all rights and privileges of membership, except they would be denied the right to vote. They cannot have a vote until they are duly elected by a 75 vote of the student body.
The two persons who received a plurality of votes were Dona Seacat, Emporia junior, School of Journalism, and John Dealy, Tepeka junior, co-ops and professional fraternities.
May Lower Requirements
Ted Barnes, Salina graduate and member of the ASC elections committee, said plans are being made to lower the minimum balloting requirement in a referendum next fall during freshman class elections. If the referendum is approved, the above mentioned districts would be granted voting privileges.
Patterson called another meeting for 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union. He said that various committees will be organized. He will explain how the constitution has to be revised. The Council will consider sending a representative to the National Student Assn. conference this summer.
