ASC Does Good Job, 7 Of 13 Students Say
Suzanne Ludlow, Paola freshman— "It's good because the ASC is the only way that each student is able to voice an opinion."
The All Student Council serves a good purpose, said 7 of 13 students who were asked their opinion of the ASC in a Daily Kansan survey Tuesday.
Three students thought the ASC was not accomplishing anything and three others didn't care what the ASC was doing.
Karen Johnson, Topeka sophomore—"I think it is an important part of college and it accomplishes more now than when it was organized differently."
Peter Des Jardins, Overland Park junior—"I don't care. I'm just apathetic about it."
Robert Schwartz, Topcka senior— "As an independent, I can't see whether they are doing any good or bad. I just don't have any association with it."
Gail Wade, Belleville junior—"I think it's a good organization. Sometimes it's sensible and other times it's nonsense. They try to do a good job."
Robert Cormack, Abilene senior— "I really don't have much of an opinion; I don't think much about it."
Delores Brown, Scott City freshman"I think it a good thing because students get a chance to show their own opinions."
Richard Stephenson, Augusta senior—I'm a senior this year and the only thing that has been accomplished is the football seating business and I don't know if they did that."
Beverly Doig, Independence, Mo senior "I've yet to hear of any great sensation they have done."
Ann Farbach, Belleville sophmore—"I serve on one of the committees and I think they are doing a pretty good job."
Edward Lehnhoff, Fort Scott senior—"They argue a lot but they don't do much."
Kenneth Irby, Fort Scott senior— "Tm in favor of it for they granted $300 for a debate team I was on to go to West Point.

The first Humanities Series lecture for 1957-58 will be given Tuesday, Oct. 15, by Dr. Alfred Leslie Rowse of Oxford, England, English history scholar.

The forum will be sponsored by Student Union activities.
At 7 p.m., Oct.16, Dr. Rowse will speak on "The Use of History in Modern Society" before the History Club in the Pine Room of the Student Union.
During his 3-day visit to the University, Dr. Rowse will also speak to classes in history and English and will meet with the faculty and graduate students of the department of history and with members of the cast of "Henry IV."
Since he entered Oxford in 1921 by winning the only scholarship at Christ Church College open to all of his native Cornwall, he has produced 15 books, mainly historical, but including volumes of literary essays, poetry, and biography.
His autobiography, "A Cornish Childhood," has sold more than 150,- 000 copies, and his volume on "The England of Elizabeth" has sold more than 100,000 copies in Great Britain alone.
In recent years he has been studying the history of the Churchill family, whose origin was near Cornwall, and he has finished two volumes, "The Early Churchills" and "The Later Churchills."
