Council Looks On to Future Standing Committees Seek Progress For The University and the Student Body As Well
By Stephen Russell
(This is the last in a series of articles about the All Student Council at KU. Today, the focus is on the Council's committees.)
KU is a growing university. Corresponding to the modern world in which it exists, it is continually changing more students, new buildings, and new curricula.
To keep pace with KU and the students, which it represents, the All Student Council must also be a adap t able to change. It must be capable of hand l i n g the new problems which a growing enrollment and a changing university create for its student body.
Examples of the concern for the future which the ASC has built into its constitutional structure are two of the council's standing committees and provision in its constitution which allows it to create special temporary or "ad hoc" committees.
THE STANDING committees referred to are the Committee Evaluation Board and the Student Athletic Seating Board.
The Committee Evaluation Board evaluates and promotes the effectiveness of the 27 executive committees in the executive branch of KU's student government. Besides examining the work of the established executive committees to make sure they are performing their duties, the evaluation board is also responsible for evaluating the needs of the campus to provide for the necessary committees to handle new situations. It also investigates the "exec" committees to see if their purpose or function is outmoded.
CHAIRMAN TOM RADER, Greensburg sophomore, said his committee, sometimes referred to as the "Little Hoover Committee," is also responsible to the council for reports on the
status of the committees at any time throughout the year. At these times it can make any recommendations it deems necessary.
ASC Chairman, Mike McNally, said the Student Athletic Seating Board is unique because it deals directly with student opinion. It is because of this, and because of the importance of the subject it deals with, the seating of students at university athletic events, that the board is a council committee and not an executive committee, he said.
CHAIRMAN Jim Klumpp, Coffeyville sophomore, said the board is an "airing place" for student opinion on the seating of students at university athletic events.
One of the more recent programs of the board, according to Klumpp, was the proposal for a student expansion of Memorial Stadium. He said the program, which was initially brought to the attention of the athletic department through an ASC resolution, is now "in the hands of the athletic department and the corporation from which the money to build the expansion will be borrowed."
THE ASC RETREAT committee was established to investigate the possibilities for holding an ASC Retreat, a training program in student government for all council members.
Spring Stidham, Park Ridge, Ill., junior and committee chairman, said she believes the program will be most beneficial to new members of the ASC in giving them some insight and ideas of the council before they begin work on it.
The living group officers' meeting committee was established to investigate the possibilities of promoting meetings between the officers of the living groups on campus. The program would set up meetings which living group officers could attend to listen to guest speakers and exchange ideas and policies. It would hopefully make closer ties between the different living districts on campus.
Room for five. Built for fun
THE PRE-ENROLLMENT committee was established to assist the Registrar's Office in planning the pre-enrollment program for the university. James K. Hitt, registrar, requested the committee from the council to use as a sounding board of student opinion on pre-enrollment procedures.
Room for dive—80% of the MG Sports Sedan is devoted to people. Result: room for five non-dieting humans to stretch out and relax. The travelling gear goes into the trunk (where it belongs). Plenty of window glass about, so relax and enjoy the view. Built for fun — the MG Sports Sedan will out-handle an embarrassed number of sports cars...thanks to front wheel drive, fade-free disc brakes and Hydrolastic suspension.

KU Champs in 1952
By Hector Olave
The 1952 KU basketball team, led by All-American Clyde Lovellette, scored a tremendous double victory by winning the NCAA championship and then continuing to the Olympic Games where they formed the nucleus of the United States Olympic team which won first place.
The University of Kansas will do its share in making less the suffering of Europe's war-stricken millions. Money for the purchase of food will go to the much-persecuted Armenians, whose plight is almost beyond belief. Warm clothes will be sent to the people of Belgium and Northern France who are utterly destitute, and dependent solely upon American charity for their existences.
Sororities and organized houses were busy green-eyeing the Valentine Queen's crown as they met all over the Hill to choose candidates for their election. Ballots and pictures of each girl will be printed in the Kansan. Only males will be allowed to cast ballots in the polling.
