ASC Approves Budget In Quick, Quiet Meeting
Quickly and quietly the ASC approved its 1965-68 budget in a special budget meeting last night.
No major objections were raised against the record high $11,332.09 financing program. It exceeds last year's figure by $2,- 267.
DAN VOSSMAN, BELOIT senior and ASC treasurer, read the distribution of funds in four different categories and the members voted on them twice; first on each category and then on the budget as a whole.
Vossman said the figures for the first category, administrative expenses, were based on last year's budget, except for a $60 increase in the rent figure due to the new ASC offices in the Kansas Union and an increase in funds for advertising in the Jayhawker yearbook.
LEO SCHREY, Leavenworth senior and student body president, commented on the second category, executive expenses. He said the proposed amounts for the Traditions Committee, Current Events Committee and the Student Advisory Board were the same as last year.
He explained that the $300 increase for the Public Relations Committee was to cover the cost of printing the proposed student government handbook.
THE HOSTING and Hospitality Committee received a $300 increase to cover the increase in visiting delegations which the committee will host this year.
Since the Student Blood Drive and the Facts and Statistics Committee are both new allocations,
there were no old figures to be used as a basis.
The $2,925 appropriation for executive expenses was unanimously approved by the Council.
Bill Robinson, Great Bend junior and Student Body Vice-President, classified the two appropriations listed for the Associated Student Government under special delegations, the third category.
Campus Chest Lags
KU finds itself lagging behind the University of Missouri in their competition in Campus Chest.
MU has collected $800 while KU has only taken in $270, with about one third of the visits made.
The local committee is calling on living groups each evening and will finish its rounds Sunday.
Thursday at 5:15 p.m. a "Pi Phil" will be held at Battenfield Scholarship Hall. For 50 cents anyone may heave a pie at anyone in the hall.
A third appropriation under special delegations was for the Big Eight Student Government Association.
The council again unanimously approved the $900 allotted to special delegations.
VOSSMAN READ the names of those groups who had petitioned for funds under the fourth category, organizational allocations. They were the Mortar Board, the American Pharmaceutical Association, the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, the Engineering School Council, the Business School Council, the Student Bar Association, the College Bowl and the People-to-People program.

ASC Arms Deal in Service for Individual Student
By Stephen Russell
(Editor's Note: The following is the second in a series of four articles explaining the organization of ASC executive committees.)
Jayhawkers need not worry about "education without representation," for eight committees in the Student Welfare department are speaking the students' mind.
They are divisions of KU's executive student government which voice student opinion in University programming.
LAURIE FITZGERALD, Independence, Mo., senior and welfare department secretary, said most of the committees don't form policy but act in advisory capacity for official University legislation.
Five of the committees are composed of students who sit in on University appointed faculty committees to represent student interests in the areas with which each faculty committee is concerned.
THE DEPARTMENT SECRETARY and all committee members are appointed by the student body president according to a provision in the ASC Constitution.
"We gather information on what the students want done and try to put it into effect." she said.
THE SIX-MEMBER Traffic and Safety Committee helps decide policy and changes the regulations and rules of traffic and safety on campus.
Craig Beach, El Dorado junior and committee chairman, said some students are confused because they believe the ASC executive committee controls car registration and parking permit distribution instead of the University committee.
Beach said his committee welcomes valid suggestions or complaints from students concerning traffic problems. He added that his committee agrees with the faculty's current traffic program and feels the students do, too, since grumbling about parking conditions has been inaudible so far this year.
THE CALENDAR COMMITTEE puts student ideas before the University committee that schedules dates of such things as final exams, spring break, vacations and first and last days of classes.
Chuck Curry, Pratt junior and committee chairman, said his three-member committee presently is working on the 1967-68 calendar since the University committee works two years in advance.
Curry said his committee has compiled a list of questions for the Student Opinion Poll. Among the queries are whether students would like spring break to coincide with Easter instead of coming before or after, and if they would favor a stop week, whereby class material would be ended one week before finals to facilitate in-class review.
THE ORIENTATION COMMITTEE strives to improve orientation and preview programs by interviewing all new students.
Ken Hickerson, Des Moines, Iowa, junior and committee chairman, said it draws up a questionnaire in the fall semester which is presented to all freshmen, transfer students and foreign students.
This year's interviews will begin in about another week, he added. Once completed, the questionnaire suggestions will "lie in state" until next semester when the committee will begin planning next fall's programs.
THE UNIVERSITY EVENTS COMMITTEE
helps coordinate, regulate and promote scheduling of special University programs.
Miss Fitzgerald said she has been unable to contact Kelly Cap, Shaw AFB, N.C., senior who was appointed event committee chairman last semester, to find out what action has been planned for this year.
The Commencement Committee helps plan the University's commencement program. Brian Biles, Hutchinson senior and committee chairman, said two members of his committee sit in on the faculty commencement committee, but he added that the faculty committee has not met officially this year.
The remaining three Welfare Department committees are student service committees, according to Miss Fitzgerald.
The Student Health Commission acts as a liaison between the students and Watkins Memorial Hospital to convey student complaints and suggestions to the staff.
RICHARD SCHAFFER, BELOIT graduate student and committee chairman, said in this way they help the student clear up problems they encounter with the student medical service.
As an example, he cited their recent solution to a complaint brought to them by students who are about to be married. In taking the medical tests required for marriage by the State, they found they had to wait in line with other patients to obtain the results from the doctor. Now they may pick up the results at the admittance window outside instead of waiting to see the doctor, providing results are satisfactory.
Schaffer said they are presently working on ideas for publicizing the proposed hospital expansion.
