College Assembly, Senate to combine fall elections
By JERRY SEIB
The College Assembly and the Student
elections to combine their elections for Oct. 8 and 7.
Six senators from Nunemaker College and freshman class officers will be chosen in the Senate election. About 120 undergraduates from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be chosen for seats on the College Assembly.
THE SENATE originally had planned to hold only its own election Oct. 6 and 7. But the Senate Elections Committee agreed to the joint election after the College Assembly failed to form an elections committee and elect student representatives this spring.
The remaining student seats on the Assembly will be filled by about 30 graduate students to be chosen by departments within the College.
Phil Kaufman, Memphis junior and a member of the Senate Elections Committee, said yesterday polls would be the information born on Jayhawk Boulevard; an event that will be hosted by Gertrude Seilands Pearson, Oliver, Ellsworth and Lewis halls; Kappa Alpha Theta sorority; Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity; or Sigma Gamma Delta on Sigma Nu Place to be named later.
THE COLLEGE ASSENBLY is the governing body of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It is composed of all faculty members of the College—about 600 this year—and student representatives in 85 per cent of the faculty membership.
Although no students have been elected yet, the Assembly had its first meeting of the school year yesterday. About 100 attended, including about 30 students who volunteered to serve on the Assembly until elections could be held.
SenEx last week authorized the College to appoint students to the Assembly and its committees.
THE ASSEMBLY moved through a largely routine agenda, which included introduction of new faculty members, a report that a committee considering changes in Assembly by-laws make recommendations for curriculum changes recommended by the Committee on Undergraduate Policies and Procedures.
After the meeting, the students met with Ellie Turk, assistant to the dean of the College. Turk solicited volunteers to serve on the committee. The group held and formed an elections committee.
TURK SAID students would be able to file to run for seats on the Assembly by filling out forms that would be available soon in the College office in Strong Hall. Students will be able to indicate on which committees they would like to serve, she said.
The elections committee will print its own ballots for the Assembly election and deliver them to the Student Senate Oct. 5. The students may also make them available at the polling places.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS agreed to meet today to work out more details, including a procedure by which students can be identified as members of the College.
The committee also agreed to follow the customary practice of allowing College students in the freshman class.
representatives on the Assembly. Graduate students will make up one-fifth of the total number of faculty members.
One-fourth of the undergraduate representatives selected Oct. 6 and 7 will come from each of the undergraduate classes. Turk said.
Subpoenaed records add campaign twist
As the countdown clock runs toward Debate Day, Jimmy Carter yesterday detailed one of his government organization proposals, and President Ford's spokesmen said they were puzzled by subpoenas issued to documents of his home-country Republican party.
Bv The Associated Press
What would have been a day of relative political inactivity suddenly was transformed by the disclosure that the records of the Kent County Republican party, dating back to 1839, were subpoenaed in Congress, were subpoenaed by Special Waterate Prosecutor Charles Ruff.
Both presidential candidates—Carter in Plains, Ga., and Ford in the White House— were preparing for the first of their face-to-face debates, to be televised by all networks beginning at 8:30 p.m. CDT tomorrow from Philadelphia.
Ruff wouldn't say why the records were subpoenaed and K冈 Neasen, presidential aide to then-David S. Koehler,
Paul Henry, Kentucky GOP chairman,
said, "We have no idea what they are
looking for, but we hope to get it over
quickly and a clear bill of health."
Nessen also said that Ford accepted golf outings from a U.S. Steel Corp. joblobby at a New Jersey country club between 1964 and 1971 when Ford was a congressman.
"If the President thought there was anything wrong, he wouldn't have done it," Nassau said.
Carter has said that if he is elected he will recognize government the way he did in Georgia when he was governor. His job is to get people to understand how one division would be streamlined.
Carter said he would abolish the Federal Energy Administration, the Federal Power Commission, the Energy Research and Education Association and the Energy Resources Council.
At home in Plains, Ga., Carter proposed abolishing four federal agencies dealing with energy policy and substituting a Cabinet-level energy department instead.
At the same time, Carter said he would eliminate energy-related functions of the departments of Commerce and Treasury, as will as the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
