Where Your Money Goes
SUA's Operating Cost $100 Over Last Year's
(Editor's note-This is the first of two articles on the two organizations at KU having the most student participation. This article is about Student Union Activites. The second will be about the KU-Y.)
Student Union Activities—The KU organization for extra-curricular social and cultural programs for all students—is operating on $5,270 this year, about $100 more than last year's budget.
Mrs. Kathryn Carr Giele, SU adviser, said the budget is almost always within $100 of the previous year's estimate. Adding new functions and discontinuing others accounts for the variation, she said.
The Union Operating Committee which approves SUA activities, allocated the budget last April. The allotment is only part of the total SUA budget for eight committees for the fiscal year July 1 to June 30. The operating budget is the difference between the expected income of $13,470 and expenses of $18,740.
The money comes from part of the $10 Union fee paid by all regularly enrolled students each semester. Half the fee is used to pay off bonds on the Union addition. One-fourth of the amount goes into a fund for Union expansion. The remaining $2.50 is for Union operating costs. The money for SUA comes from a part of the operating cost fund.
Most Activities Free
Most SUA sponsored activities are free to students. Dances, carnivals and special concerts provide most of the income.
The 12-member SUA board is selected in April by the Union Operating Committee. Prospective members submit applications and are later interviewed for positions. The committee bases board appointments on merit, work and particular
talents. Positions are held for the school year.
The Union Operating Committee is composed of nine students, five faculty and staff members, three alumni and the president of the Memorial Union Corporation.
Student members are the student body and SUA presidents, plus seven others appointed by the All Student Council. Three Union staff members attend committee meetings, but do not have a vote.
Expenses not under special headings amount to $1,150. This amount is used for the following items:
Summer school, $100; conference,
$250; secretarial, $300; recognition dinner, $250; handling charges, $100;
and miscellaneous, $150.
Recognition Dinner Given
No salaries are paid by SUA. Full time employees are paid by the Union Operating Committee. A recognition dinner is given in the spring of each year for the students involved in SUA committee work.
Some expenses under arts and crafts are for the rent and shipping costs of art exhibits, materials, and part time instructor's salary for the craft shop.
Picture developing supplies for the dark room are also paid by the arts and crafts allotment. The $50 collected as rent by the picture
lending library is the committee's only income.
The dance committee's major expenses are for bands and refreshments. Weekly dances in the Trail Room are free. Tickets are sold for five dances each year.
Hospitality Outgoing
After expenses are paid for the weekly dances plus football, basketball, homecoming, night club party and relays dances, the total income is $410.
The hospitality committee has no income. Expenses are for refreshments, publicity and transportation for open houses, breakfasts, receiptions and parties. The travel bureau gets $10 from this committee.
Records, books and magazines for the Music and Browsing Room are bought by the music and forums committee. Coffee for forums and discussion periods is paid for by this committee.
Sponsors Recreation
Although the SUA sponsors Union recreation, it does not collect playing fees for the Recreation Room. Trophies for bowling, billiards, table tennis, chess and bridge are the committee's expenses. Dance lessons are free. The bridge instructor is allowed $20.
The special events committee has an income estimate of $6,000 for the carnival and special concerts. The net income from these events is $1,500. The Jayhawk nibble, a fall picnic for new students, takes $1,000 of the special events budget.
Under the sportsman committee budget expenses are listed for the night shirt parade, quarterback club, talent show, relays queen contest. square dancing and the last tackle party.
Dems Pick 'Unwanted'; GOP Honors 2 KU'ers
Members of the KU Young Democrats were among 150 Young Democrats from Kansas who gathered in Hutchinson Saturday for their 26th annual state convention.
The club from KU had the largest representation of any school attending.
The convention selected 10 Republican legislators and named them the "most unwanted men in Kansas because of their inactivity in the legislature, and who have special interests to serve rather than serving the people of Kansas."
The convention named what they considered to be "the 10 most unwanted men in Kansas," and listened to Gov. George Docking assail the Republican state legislators.
Legislators named were: Senators Paul Wunsch, Donald Hults, Howard Immel, August Lauterback and Laurne Jones. Representatives James Pratt, Elmer Russell, William L. Mitchell, Turned Murrell and Marion Matthews.
Distinguished Man Named In Air ROTO
Donald E. Terpening, Washington senior, has been named as a "Distinguished Air Force ROTC Cadet."
Distinguished Air Force ROTC Cadet awards are given each year to recognize those cadets who have distinguished themselves in over-all academics and military leadership.
Terpening will have an opportunity to compete nationally within the AFROTC program for a regular commission in the U. S. Air Force. A regular commission gives the AFROTC graduate the same status as graduates of the Air Academy, West Point or Annapolis.
Statisticians say that by the time an American is 70 he will have spent 8.760 hours-a full year-talking on the telephone.
