Students Vote Thumbs Down On Seat Savers
Of the 1,633 votes cast, 935 were cast for no seat saving in any section and 562 were cast for unlimited seat saving. Block saving by an organized group north of the 30-vard line received 136 votes.
Students voted almost two to one in Wednesday's referendum in favor of no seat saving in any section at next year's football games rather than unlimited and unrestricted seat saving.
Technically, the vote was not a true student referendum. The Council will use the election as an indication of how students actually feel about the seating question.
The results of the voting will not materially affect the ASC constitution. The constitution now states "under no circumstances . . . shall there be any . . . violation of the principle of first-come, first-serve in respect to seating of students."
The vote, however, will give the Council the power to legislate strict laws on how to enforce the principle of no seat saving.
Chancellor Murphy said the people of our state will have to decide whether we will move forward with vigor or throw in the sponge. I believe the people are prepared to support education."
KU Budget Hearing Friday
Colleges requested budgets 11.88 per cent greater than the current year, but this was cut to 7.64 per cent. State Budget Director James Bibb said.
The cost of attending the University of Kansas may increase, Lester McCoy, of Garden City and a member of the Kansas State Board of Regents, said Wednesday at budget hearings in Topeka. Mr. McCoy said the board "plans to work on the matter of student fees Friday."
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said state excise taxes might be used to increase money in the state treasury. He said that Kansas education "stands at the crossroads." The governor's office deferred hearing KU's budget request until Friday.
University officials want more money for KU. However, Gov-elect George Docking said the Kansas government must operate on a low budget during the 1958 fiscal year.
People Must Decide
Chancellor Murphy and Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor were unavailable for comment today concerning the future of their budget request Friday.
