Ironing out the technical problems of organizing and structuring an effective operating unit was a primary objective of the 2014 session. We meet last night in the Kansas Union.
"The situation has changed for the better since the last meeting a week ago," said Thomas J. Donaldson, interim president of the GSC.
tatively, the GSC has been given a quarter-time position to coordinate an office of graduate student concerns, said Donaldson. He also said it was likely that funds would be made available from the college to publish some type of newsletter.
John Beisser, student body president, said it appeared that additional funds would be made available. Beiser also discussed the possibility of a task force to contact other universities in an effort to examine the graduate students in these other institutions.
of the meeting concerned itself with creating a job position for the position of Superintendent of student aid.
"We're talking about someone who is going to be keen interested in standing up for themselves."
Sovereign state for Palestinians termed unlikely
If a Palestinian state were developed, it would never be sovereign in the true sense of the word, Michael Bentwich, representative of the American Professors for Peace in the Middle East, said here yesterday in an SUA Forum.
Bentwich spoke to about 50 people in the in-
kend, Kansas City, and Palestinei in Kerns-
ville, Can. They discussed
The Palestinian state would have to depend on surrounding states for support, and this isn't a factor conducive to peace, Bentwich said.
Bentwich said the Palestinian problem was an exploitive subject, and most people were unaware of it.
The problem emerged in 1947 when a U.N. revolution formed an Arab state and a Jewish state out of the territory known as Palestine, Bentwich said.
A bad situation exists on two accounts. First there is no adequate housing, education or other basic human needs available to the Palestinian refugees. Second, an group they lack any affiliation with or an ethnic background, Bentwich said.
After the war of independence, a Jewish Palestine did emerge and the Gaza Strip was subjugated by other Arab states, Bentwich said.
"Egypt shortchanged the people of the Gaza strip by not allowing them to move and preventing any possible organization of Jews in the state of Palestine," he said.
The Palestinians had the right to return to their homeland somewhere in the contested area, which has halted any resettlement attempt and people live in deprivation, Bentwich said.
The alternatives that exist, Bentwich said, are a separate sovereign state of Palestine or a smaller unit controlled by a larger unit.
when these needs conflict with those of the administration," said Donaldson.
The GSC needs to distinguish between a coordinator and an advocate, said John C. Dagenaian, Wichita graduate student. Direct responsibility to the GCS in representing their needs was a necessary condition of the need for most graduate students attending.
Appearing to be a militant organization worried some GSC members. Charlotte Kimbrough, Lawrence graduate student, said she preferred the GSC to take the form of a semi-professional rather than a reactionary group.
Williams said he didn't want the GSC to be very militant, but he also wanted it not to lose any of the fire it might have had in previous weeks.
vicious weeks.
"When we say we need an advocate, we're
serious about it, we need an advocate," Williams said.
Donaldson said, however, that most of the issues the GSC concerned itself with involved no militant aspects. The GSC placed a clear call to action for students to receive a newsletter to inform graduate students of issues of concern to them. A second issue was collecting and organizing a file of information that graduate students could access when they had questions or problems.
An office of graduate student concerns would be a place a graduate student could find identity and have his grievances heard in the University structure, it has woohed.
The GSC will meet with Chancellor Archie
Duges next Wednesday to coordinate and dis-
cuss the plan.
