AWS Members Go To Polls Tomorrow
Twenty-five candidates are running for twelve offices in the Associated Women Students Senate elections, to be held Wednesday. Polling booths will be in Fraser, Strong, the Kansas Union, and the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The rolls will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. All regularly enrolled women students may vote after showing their ID cards.
Twelve women will be elected to fill positions of AWS president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, All Student Council Greek representative and ASC independent representative. Sixe runners-up in the election will head committees in the AWS.
Here's Where ASC Funds Go
(Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles on the purposes and functions of the All Student Council. Monday's article told of the activities and expenses connected with the Associated Women Students,
Today's article shows where the rest of the ASC budget goes.) After the Associated Women Students gets its appropriation of $2,544, the All Student Council has $4,493.11 to spend.
Appropriations for other organizations total $528.28. These groups are:
Alpha Phi Omega, national service organization which received $60 from the ASC this year. This group works with scouting organizations, sponsored a toy drive at Christmas, and takes part in national fund drives that come up for example, a blood donor drive or Hungarian relief.
Mortar Board, honor society for senior women, received $100 from the ASC. Mortar Board's purpose is "to advance the spirit of service
and fellowship...and to recognize and encourage leadership." The group performs service projects, and holds student-faculty functions during the year.
The Social Committee, an integral part of ASC, gets $80. Most of this goes for office expenses. The committee is set up to supervise all social affairs of the student body, and acts as a service to the University administration. The committee assesses fines for social violations, and the fines accumulated during the year are used toward a scholarship in the spring.
The Student Religious Council, in charge of Religious Emphasis Week, received $228.28 for this year's expenses.
The National Students Assn. annual dues (national and regional combined) are $190. NSA is a national student government group.
Election expenses are billed for $725 this year. Last year, printing of ballots cost $420. The ASC is also charged by buildings and grounds for setting up voting booths.
Three hundred dollars was listed this year for "publications contingency." The fund was designed to cover a possible deficit in printing the student directory. Since the directory paid for itself (at 25c a copy), the money is free for reappropriation. It may be used to finance a trip for KU's debate team.
Operating costs for the ASC are $120 for office rent, $150 for the Jay-
hawker, and printing expenses of $100. Most of the printing cost went
for revising and distributing the new ASC constitution.
This year's ASC was left with a bill of $350 for convention expenses from the 1956-57 school year, and allotted $600 for this year's conventions. These included the NSA conference held at Texas A&M last December, a national student body presidents' meeting, and a reserve fund for meetings which may be attended by committee members on a regional or national scale.
The last entry, and a big one, on the ASC budget is $1,489.83, headed miscellaneous expense. It includes cash on hand, reserve funds, and extra money that may be needed for office expenses, Government Day, speakers' fees and expenses, etc. Last year's ASC had a balance of $637.11 that carried over to this year.
Sharron Dye, Wichita senior and ASC treasurer, said extra funds might be used for an endowment, a scholarship, or printing equipment for the ASC to cut future costs.
HOME COOKING—Mrs. Dorothy Brewer, Beloit senior, resumed her studies at KU this year after a long absence from a college campus, but she didn't get away from the kitchen. Mrs. Brewer makes sure that her son, Bert, also a senior, gets plenty of home cooking as she combines housework and studying.
Full Time Mother, Part-Time Student
Many students come to KU because it was their parent's school, but at least one parent came here because it is her son's school.
Mrs. Dorothy Brewer, Beloit, is outranked in class standing by her son, Bert, but she's out to get her degree after years of being away from the books.
Mrs. Brewer started back to school as a junior last fall. She caught up with her son in class standing this semester, but she won't be graduated with him in June. She is majoring in language arts with a journalism emphasis. She has never had any classes with her son, who is also majoring in journalism.
After attending Kansas State Teacher's College at Emporia for two years, she taught in Concordia junior high school for three years before she was married. She is the widow of L. F. Brewer, former editor of the Beloit Gazette.
She and Bert share their 5-room basement apartment with three other students. Her housekeeping duties force her to limit enrollment to 12 hours, she said. Most of her studying is done "at home between cooking and cleaning chores."
She feels that she is making progress in developing study habits now. "At least I didn't get any D's last semester," she laughed.
"The first thing I had to learn was how to study, after being out of school." Mrs. Brewer said.
Mrs. Brewer and her niece, Priscilla Burton, Council Grove freshman, do the cleaning and cooking. The men in the "family," Stan Severance, Kansas City, Kan. junior, John Nienstedt, Beloit sophomore, and Bert are, according to Bert, "general flunkies."
"It's usually 'soup for lunch' if I have time to get home from class." Mrs. Brewer said.
On the one day a week when she has a class at 11 a.m. she can't get home in time to heat the soup, so they all take their lunches or eat out.
Mrs. Brewer said that if she decides to return to school next year she would like to try "getting a room and eating out" so she could devote full time to being a student.

'KU Needs A Master Plan'
KU needs a master plan to promote the orderly expansion of the University, according to Robert Royston, California landscape architect.
"There is tremendous pressure on the University to expand. One thing that is necessary is a master plan,"Mr. Royston said in a lecture Monday.
"A master plan does not exist," he said. "This is an insult to a great University."
After taking a brief tour of the campus, he said. "The buildings on your campus are not necessarily beautiful, but they are tied together in a pleasing manner by a series of open spaces and trees."
If a master plan is not made, every open space on the campus might eventually be filled with a building. Students and faculty members should promote the interest in planning, he said.
"I do not think those dormitories on the hill over there are planned in terms of the future of mankind," he said. He was speaking of the eventual landscape effect around Carruth-O'Leary Hall and the Joseph R. Pearson dormitory now under construction.
AUFS Speaker Opens 10-Day Lecture Series

Dr. Maddox did his undergraduate work at the University of Arkansas, has a M. A. from the University of Wisconsin, and his Ph.D. from Harvard, where he also lectured in economics.

Student Hurt In 2-Car Crash
Otis R. Carrithers, Mission senior,
received a slight concussion and cuts
around the mouth in a two-car hit
and run accident at 11 p.m. Monday
about four miles east of Lawrence
on the old Eudora road.
Carrithers was reported in good condition at Watkins Hospital this morning by Dr. William Grove of the Student Health Service.
The Douglas county sheriff's office reported Carrithers said he must have fallen asleep and run into the back of a car owned by Donald
Acher, 16 Winina Rd., Lawrence. Mr.
Acher was not injured, officers said.
The officers said Carrithers apparently backed up after the accident, drove three-tenths of a mile farther on the road and then cut through a corn field, going between two dehydrator sheds. His car stalled on a railroad track, sheriff's officers said, and they found Carrithers sitting in the car after they followed the car tracks from the scene of the accident.
Their Ideas Smoldered On
William Gilbert, assistant professor of history, entered the class room, waited patiently until the before class chatter ceased, and began his lecture. A few minutes later he broke off in the middle of a sentence.
"Does anyone smell smoke?" he asked.
A student raised his hand. "There seems to be some coming from the wastepaper basket."
Prof. Gilbert leaned over and peered into the wastepaper basket. In the bottom was a pile of ashes and cigarette butts, some still smoldering. He picked it up, strode to the door, placed the noisemasket outside and returned to the lectern.
"Now I understand what they mean when they say the preceding class is a seminar," he commented.
