Challenge of ASK membership possible
By DIANE SWANSON Staff Reporter
KU's membership in the Associated Students of Kansas, the statewide student lobbying group, may come under fire at Tuesday's Student Senate ban. It last night's debate by Student Senate President committee members was of any indication.
Despite the heated debate, StudEx voted to submit a report to the Senate advising that it spend the $9,157 necessary to retain membership in ASK this year. The allocation costs each full-time student 25 cents a semester.
The report also recommends that the Senate form a StudEx subcommittee to set specific guidelines in selecting KU's legislative assembly delegates to ASK
and to work on lobbying for KU issues as well as statewide issues.
If the Senate decides to discontinue membership, ASK would continue lobbying for student-oriented issues. They would, however, suffer a financial burden. The senate, senate executive secretary and chairman of the ASK board of directors.
Although ASK's effectiveness was considered good by StudEx members, concern was expressed during the two weeks before ASK's efficiency in dealing with KU issues.
GREG SCHNACKE, student body president, said there were few issues that did not affect other schools. He cited lobbying for state funding for academic buildings as particularly applicable to KU, but said other schools
with similar funding of school buildings would profit from favorable legislation.
A portion of KU student fees are allocated to pay off Wescoe Hall building bonds, as well as debts for several other campus buildings.
Bren Abbott, treasurer, said the committee needed to consider "what the benefits of spending $9.157 for ASK are, what benefits we lose from our time membership and if benefits received are actually worth that money."
Because KU would continue to benefit from ASK's lobbying if it were not a member, Templeton said "it would be a cheap outlook for KU to sit back and wait."
Mikl Gordon, finance and auditing committee co-chairman, said he
wondered whether ASK really represented the students of Kansas.
"The KU delegate selection process has been rather shaddy," he said. "If we continue in the future, we should try to make our student has the chance to be represented."
BOB FRIGO, graduate senator and University Senate executive committee representative, said the ASK legislative assembly, which is composed of one woman from each state, worked to "eliminate ideas not supported by the majority of students."
ASK can only lobby for a certain number of issues he said, and chooses only those most frequently talked about.
The Senate will decide whether to renew its membership in ASK at its meeting on Tuesday.

A new withdrawal policy approved by the University Council and printed in the addendum to the Timetable will not be extended until the Chancellor Del Shankel said yesterday.

GEORGE WORTH, chairman of the University Senate executive committee, told the University Council yesterday that the Council's proposal had reached the administration this spring but there had been no response.
The new schedule would have extended the withdrawal period to 10 weeks before a notification is needed.
ministration had thanked the Council for its interest in an area that needed attention, and said it would take care of the situation.
