Students Boost Avery on Education
KU's Student Body President Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, led a group of delegates from Kansas' state-supported universities and colleges to Topeka Dec. 16 to discuss the future of higher learning in Kansas with Governor William Avery.
Schey said the purpose of the mission was to let the Governor know that students are interested in the welfare of their universities and the things occurring at them. It was a chance for the students to express their opinions of what their schools need, to be able to better serve the students in their quest for higher learning.
SCHREY SAID AVERY will be delivering his budget message to the state legislature when it convenes later this month, and that the section of the budget concerning education is expected to be quite high. He said he felt there was a critical need to give the Governor's program moral support by expressing to him the opinions and needs of the students.
Schrey said the delegates named three specific areas in which they believed students are concerned and feel a need for
continued improvement. These were:
A need to provide for the retention of the schools' present faculty members through higher wages and the improvement of these faculties by enlarging them
A NEED to provide for the continual growth and improvement of the schools' library systems, and.
A need to provide for more research and laboratory facilities for students.
THE IDEA for the mission was initiated by Schrey and it was he who contacted the student body presidents of the other schools and organized their trip to the state capital. It was also Schrey, with the help of KU's Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, who arranged for the appointment with Avery.
Schrey said All Student Council Chairman Mike McNally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, accompanied him to the governor's office to help him represent KU. He said the other state institutions represented at the meeting with delegates were: Kansas State Teachers' College of Emporia, Wichita State University, Fort Hays State College, and Pittsburg State College. He added that the delegation from Kansas State University was absent.
MsNALLY SAID Governor Avery, after listening to the students' proposals, explained to the delegates how state funds are appropriated for the support of the state's educational institutions.
Schrey said the trip was part
He said Avery emphasized that his primary concern for higher education in Kansas is to make facilities available for every Kansas high school graduate. The Governor, a graduate of KU, said he was sure that the students who attended Kansas' state schools when he did were not as interested in the improvement and quality of their schools as this group had shown the students of today to be, McNally added.
Schrey said Avery gave the delegates a very friendly reception and talked with them rather freely and at length. He said the Governor displayed a great deal of interest at what the students had to say, and a definite concern for the future of the state's education program.
of a program which he called "KU in Kansas—The New Dimension," which had been a plank in his party's (Vox Populi) platform when he was elected to office in the spring of 1965 and had also been one of his campaign promises.
It Used to be...
A second epidemic of the gripe or a flaring up of the first is occurring among the students at the University. One case gives promise of going into pneumonia. According to reports, there are 50 people dying in Chicago daily from complications of the gripe. As there is no specific medicine to cure the disease, students are encouraged to follow instructions given by the Health Department.
