Budget Session Explanation
The budget session of the state Legislature will open Tuesday, and in 30 days—no more and probably less—the legislators must approve either Gov. Docking's proposals, their own proposals or a combination of both.
Persons attending the University have a special interest in this off-year session. It is at this session that the state schools will either get an increased budget, salary raise included, or Gov. Docking will prevail and the schools will do without.
What is the budget session? What preparation goes into the session? What will they attempt to accomplish?
Extensive preparations have been made for this meeting. State agencies were asked several months ago to estimate their financial requirements for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1958. These initial estimates were then collected and reviewed by the budget division of the Legislature.
After the agency officials were notified of the amount to be recommended, budget hearings were held by the governor. The governor will reveal his decisions in the budget report which he is required to submit within two days after the Legislature convenes.
During most of the budget session this report
by the governor will be the center of legislative attention.
For an accurate picture of what the Legislature is allowed to do, the following are the limits on the budget session as set forth by the 1954 constitutional amendment:
"The Legislature shall consider only the governor's budget report, appropriation bills for the succeeding fiscal year, revenue bills necessary therefore, and such bills (resolutions or motions as may be necessary to provide for the expenses and conduct of the budget session."
Although the Legislature is limited to legislation concerning the remaining portion of the current fiscal year and to the ensuing year, it may enact such revenue measures as it considers appropriate.
So, there are just four items which the Legislature must handle. In 30 days this could be a chore.
The four duties of this session are, then:
1. The governor's budget.
2. Appropriation bills for the succeeding fiscal year.
3. Revenue bills necessary to carry out No.2.
4. Bills, resolutions or motions necessary to provide for the expenses and conduct of the budget session.

All Student?
Editor:
In The Daily Kansan, Dec. 17, an article appeared on the front page which seemed to be a plea by the All-Student Council to have students and other interested persons sit in on their meeting that evening. While all ASC meetings are open to the public, this meeting was widely publicized and promoted.
After students turned out for the meeting (it was more than the two as reported by The Daily Kansan), the council asked that they leave in the middle of the meeting. This does not help the relationship of the ASC to the student body as a whole, especially when in the same meeting a proposal was introduced to inform the students of the purpose and functions of the ASC.
The way in which the motion asking non-members of the council to leave was introduced, was done rather poorly. It looked as if the chairman and Mr. Brooks Becker had planned it far in advance.
I imagine the council had a very good reason for the closed meeting, but since the whole purpose was explained in The Daily Kansan the next day, I cannot see the need for
Parlez-vous?
It took a bit of budget juggling, but the State of Kansas will be represented at the International World Fair, to be held in Brussels, Belgium, from April to October.
Scott Dole, Mission Hills senior, and Warren DeGoler, Kansas City, Kans., sophomore, will be among the young American guides who lead visitors through the exhibits.
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for a couple of Kansans to see Europe while making a good impression for their state and country.
Trouble is, these two can't speak French.
This could lead to a passel of trouble for them, personally, in French-speaking Belgium. For Kansas, it could mean that a lot of Europeans may come away from the fair thinking that we don't know a plow from Pigalle.

the secrecy that was used by the Council. If the Council wants to become more than an all student council, it should not make such moves to hurt its relations with the students.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Dick Bibler
What A Battle!
The "O" was missing last month from Skinner's butte above the University of Oregon campus. The big wooden letter had been taken by the Oregon State college students and the OU students wanted it back.
OSC students said they thought it should be in the possession of the winner of a coming OSU-OU game, but OU folk countered that the OSC had no right to bet with property that didn't belong to them.
"NO WONDER ALL TH' GIRLS ARE SO ANXIOUS TO DATE FOREIGN STUDENTS."
The OSCers took another look at the rotting, weather-worn and charred letter and decided to "take the darn thing back and we'll have no more bickering."
Commented the Oregon State Daily Barometer: "what you'll do with the reliie we don't know."

A Scientist Speaks On Science
From the Twentieth Century Fund report "U.S.A. in New Dimensions," by Thomas R. Carskadon and George Soule.
The American public is interested only in science when it can benefit them.
A Russian youngster looks up to a scientist in the same way an American teen-ager looks up to a movie star. In Russia a scientist has a good life and is respected.
If we continue to spend a million dollars per year just to change the style of an automobile by a small amount . . . and yet spend a relatively small amount for science, then the Russians can and will beat us.
