Members Change
Council Okays Sale Of Athletic Tickets
By Stephen Russell
Members or the new All Student Council began their legislative year last night by supporting the increase in charges for student tickets to the football and basketball games.
The 29 newly elected members of the council along with the 10 academic district representatives who remain with the council until the spring elections, passed a resolution supporting the students' charges of $4 for a season ticket and $1 for a single game ticket for basketball games and a $5 season ticket for football games.
The council also urged the KU Athletic Department and Wade Stinson, its director, to make every effort possible to have the student expansion of the stadium ready for the 1966 football season.
SEVERAL OF THE new members expressed concern over the issue because they said their constituents have reported to them they are against the additional prices charged for student athletic seating.
Bill Robinson, Great Bend junior and student body vicepresident, told the council members they are responsible to the council as well as to their constituents.
Robinson said that last spring
the council passed a resolution to allow the Athletic Seating Board to take whatever steps they deemed necessary toward obtaining the student expansion and providing adequate basketball seating.
"THEY (ASB) HAVE our support to create a program which is best in all respects, for the student and for the stadium expansion," Robinson said.
He said the council must be conscientiously concerned with its image in the stand it takes. If the council goes back on its endorsement now, the image that is needed to effect the programs that the council wishes to put into effect, will be damaged, he said.
TOM SNYDER, Independence first-year law student and former chairman of the ASB, when asked by the council to explain the resolution, said it was part of a stipulation from the loan company from which the money for building the expansion is being obtained.
He added that placing the

charges on the football and basketball tickets was considered to be the best method of financing the expansion in order to be fair to all students. If the financing were to be done by adding the charges onto student fees, then everybody, including those students not interested in going to the games, would be taxed.
"The students who enjoy the athletic events and the advantage of good seating should be the ones to pay for it," Snyder said.
The 29 living group representatives whose terms expired, finished their last lap as council members by opening the ASC meeting and clearing from the table the legislation which they had previously initiated.
One such item was a bill to establish a state and community affairs committee, which the "old" council rejected. The committee would have functioned to establish better communication between students and their community and state.
The "old" council listened to Chairman Mike McNally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, read the anti-discriminatory policy statement of the Board of Regents concerning the membership of campus groups.

Summer Work Date Set on New Building
Construction on a new building for biology, physiology, and life sciences will be started this summer. It is scheduled for completion by September of 1967.
This announcement was made by Vice Chancellor Keith Lawton, in charge of operations.
THE BUILDING IS to be constructed on ground now occupied by Robinson Gymnasium Annex, east of Summerfield Hall. With the new construction, Haworth Hall, the former home of the departments of microbiology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, human development, and family life will perish under the wrecking ball.
Financing of the building will be from three sources: The federal government granted $644,864 for construction under the higher education facilities act; the legislature appropriated $1-420,694; the remaining $824,483 is expected to be raised through grants.
The building, which is to have 113,100 square feet of classroom and laboratory space, will cost $2,890,041 along with the expenses of equipment.
IT IS TO BE designed by the state architect, James Canole in cooperation with a Lawrence architect firm.
"I am highly gratified by this support." Vice Chancellor Lawton said about the federal grant. "The grant is within $500 of what KU requested."
One of the departments affected by the move is the department of comparative biochemistry and physiology. Acting chairman of that department, Associate Professor William Balfour, said he was very pleased at the expansion.
BALFOUR SAID THE new facilities will allow students of his department to do research in more or less private labs.Before the students had been required to do their research in larger lab sections. Private facilities had only been available to faculty.
