Voting Light On Council Revision Change
At mid-morning, voting was light on the All Student Council constitutional revision at polling places in Marvin and Fraser halls.
Larry A. Branda, Wilson freshman in charge of the Marvin hall polling place, estimated there had been about 50 voters there.
Tommy F. Griffith, Pratt senior and ASC Elections Committee chairman, said that if there is a voting trend, it is slightly in favor of the revision.
"So far the voting has been very close." Griffith said.
Polling places will stay open until the voting has stopped, Griffith said, and estimated that most of the voting would be completed by 5:30 p.m. today.
Marvin D. Peterson, Salina sophomore, said he favored the amendment. "I personally feel it will do a lot of good."
Another voter, Kent L. Wilkinson,
Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said:
"I'll help cut down on the politics," he said. "The unicameral body will cut down on time spent on legislation and I feel the new form of representation will be fair to the student body."
Miss City, Kah, sophomore, said.
"I think we should have the revision because the 2-house system doesn't work. Often when something comes up, there aren't enough members present in both houses to vote on the issue."

Student Teacher Meeting Today
"Waiting for Godot" opened in New York in 1956.
"The play is an experiment on the campus, and we feel that since the Studio Theater is an experimental theater, we ought to produce it," said Allen Crafton, professor of speech and director of the play.
The program of student teachers will be discussed. Students may apply for location and the period of the year they want to teach.
"Many meanings have been given the play. "Some say that it means civilization is in a hopeless mess, that it is a play of existentialism, that it is a Christian play, a satire on existentialism, that if the human race wants to get anywhere, it had better get busy and start doing something instead of waiting and depending upon supernatural powers.
"It is a unique play in that anyone can have his own interpretation of it." ___

The decorations, when completed, will be used as a backdrop for the banquet at 6:30 p.m. Friday, and the Relays dance from 9 to 12 p. m. Saturday.

A cloth backdrop will hang from the balcony behind the bandstand. Two comic Jayhawks will be in the middle and the words "Sports Around the World" will be placed in the upper right hand corner.
In the left corner there will be three globes of different sizes, giving a perspective approach of the world. The backdrop also will be used Friday night.
The Strong Hall flags, representing 64 countries, will be placed around the ballroom floor and tables will be set up for the dance.
Tickets for the dance went on sale today at the Information Booth on Jayhawk Blvd., and at the Student Union ticket office.
