ASC Passes 7 Amendments
2 Amendments Fail; One Bill Accepted
The outgoing All Student Council, in its last legislative meeting, continued the hectic pace set in last week's meeting and passed seven amendments and one bill Tuesday night. Two amendments were defeated.
In addition, the Council accepted the spring election in toto, voting down a protest entered for one-time Vox Populi candidate Tom Bath, Mission junior. The Elections Committee ruled that since Bath's name had never appeared on the ballot, withdrawal of his name by Vox was a party matter and not one for the committee to decide. The ASC accepted the committee's report.
In the one new bill passed, the Curriculum Committee was converted to the Students Academic Committee and made a permanent ASC committee. Members will be appointed, with the approval of their scholastic deans, by the student body president. The committee will have one member from each school of the University.
In order to pass the bill in one session, the ASC voted to suspend the rules of order, heard both readings of the bill, and voted to pass the bill.
The meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., was delayed 40 minutes for lack of a quorum. A fourteenth member was rounded up at 8:10, and the meeting got under way.
Two of the amendments concerned The Daily Kansan.
In an amendment to the Publications Bill, the Council voted unanimously that "The University Daily Kansan shall take no partisan stand in any campus election. And further that said University Daily Kansan shall be required to furnish
IM Speech Contest Ends Tonight
Argumentative speaking at 7:30 tonight in 102 Strong will conclude the 11th annual intramural speaking contest open to organized houses.
The subject of the speeches will be "Contemporary Problems in Education" said Brad Lashbrook, Kansas City, Kan. senior.
Trophies will be awarded to individual winners and to the house with the largest total of points.
equal opportunity to all political parties for each election."
Supporters of the amendment said it was aimed at the editorial page of The Daily Kansan. No charge was made that the paper had slanted news stories.
The other amendment states that "Futhermore, The University Daily Kansan shall be required to print completely and accurately all written official news releases from the ASC or Public Relations Committee." This amendment also was passed unanimously.
Other amendments accepted require that:
Each political party shall present an itemized list of election expenditures to the Elections Committee within one week after the general elections.
Polls To Remain Opened
No polls shall be closed due to the lack of poll workers from any party. Every effort shall be made to keep every poll open at all times,
The Law Day banquet shall be added to the list of public relations functions of the University. This means the Student Bar Association may apply to the administration for banquet funds.
The Elections Committee shall be appointed by the chairman of the All Student Council.
ASC representatives shall be removed from office if they change living district or school after they are elected.
The Council tabled a request by the Engineering Council for $196.50 to make up the deficit for this year's Engineering Banquet. Chairman Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior said the request would be considered after the ASC had determined whether it had enough money remaining to make up the deficit.
Class Time Assignments At Scribe's Desk Next Fall
Instead of getting the time for classes at the adviser's table during enrollment next fall, several courses will have the class time assigned at the scribe's desk in the pen section.
Pen sectioning, the assigning of class times by scribe, has been tried at the University in Western Civilization reading courses for three semesters.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said Tuesday that the same system would be applied to other courses, such as English, laboratories in biology, chemistry, physics, and foreign languages.
The system was proposed after it was decided that students and their advisers spent more time arguing about when the course would
be taken than what the course actually was, Mr. Hitt said.
Pen sectioning has been selected as the method which would free the adviser to devote more time and energy to assisting in the selection of courses, he said.
Part of student anxiety to enroll early is also expected to be reduced by the method. Mr. Hitt said, since students who enroll on the third day may plan on getting as good a class schedule as the students who enrolled on the first day.
Mr. Hitt expects pen sectioning to enable departments to have their sections balanced more evenly since one of the scribe's duties is to keep the sections equal as enrollment progresses.
"As we gain experience and information other modifications may be introduced to make a more streamlined enrollment system," Mr. Bitt added.
He said class schedule for the fall semester would be out some time in August. Any student who wants to receive one by mail may do so by leaving his name in the registrar's office.
Enrollment for the fall semester will be on Sept. 11, 12, and 13. Early pickup of enrollment supplies will begin Sept. 9.
