Fewer Meetings
ASC Leader Plans Increase in Work
By Stephen Russell
Fewer All Student Council meetings mean more time for better student representation, is Leavenworth senior and student body president Leo Schrey's evaluation of the ASC's decision last week to change over to bimonthly meetings.
Schrey, Leavenworth senior (Vox), said the Council's decision inspired him to organize a program to strengthen representatives' lines of communication with their constituents.
IN HIS PROGRAM, which he will announce at today's ASC meeting at 7 p.m. in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union, Schrey also planned a number of projects to be put into action by the ASC Public Relations Committee.
Information tables would be set up in the large residence halls on certain afternoons according
to a prearranged schedule. The district's representatives and other available ASC officers would be present to answer students' questions and to discuss with them their problems and ideas for better student government.
Representatives and officers would be asked to attend floor meetings at the residence halls to invite questions and discussion.
Fossils, 1965
Museum Stalks Dinosaur
By Hector Olave
There is a dinosaur on its way to KU.
"It might be a dinosaur or some other large fossil animal." J. Knox Jones, assistant curator of Natural History Museum said.
The director of the Museum and faculty members have been trying to find a suitable fossil large enough to be displayed in the new wing of the Museum.
IF THEY SUCCEED, KU will be among the few university museums in the country having such a rare animal on display. "Not very many museums have sufficient space to exhibit a dinosaur. That's why we have built this new room." Knox Jones said.
E. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, has been in contact with institutions and persons from whom such a fossil could be obtained.
Knox Jones said the University can either buy or bring the fossil through exchange.
HE SAID THE cost of a dinosaur is extraordinarily high. Transportation alone for such a fossil, some of them weighting 50 tons, will involve a great deal of money, and exchange may mean the only way out.
the only way out. "We do have some pieces of dinosaur. But we know that a complete animal is very necessary for the students and for the public," he said.
pumme. he said.
The arrival of the fossil, Knox Jones said, will add to the valuable collections at the Museum, which now has on display the world's best collection of mammals from Mexico.
THROUGH THE ASC SECRETARY, question and answer sessions would also be aranged in the other living groups, possibly at the evening meal or at house meetings.
Scheyre said that although he and Bill Robinson, Great Bend junior and student body vicepresident, would attend as many of these sessions as possible, the program is designed specifically to develop closer ties between representatives and their constituents.

Tom Stanion, Pratt junior and president of Vox Populi, said legislation concerning a "Visitation Program" will be introduced at tonight's meeting by one or more of their representatives. The bill will back up Schrey's program to induce better representation, he said.
THE ASC HUMAN Rights Committee's resolution concerning human rights was put off last week because of revisions, noted at the last minute, in the University Human Relations Committee's statement on human rights.
Mike McNally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior (Vox—ASC Chairman), said the HRC resolution should be ready for submission by tonight.
Joseph A. Mazzeo, eminent Dante scholar, Columbia University, will lecture tonight in Swarthout Hall in Murphy Hall at 8 p.m. The lecture is entitled Mediation and Order: Dante's 3 Communities. Mazzeo spoke yesterday in the Kansas Union on the History of Ideas and Study of Literature. See story page 10.
Gen. Taylor to Give Asian Insights at KU
Personal insights on the Asian crisis will be presented to KU students Dec. 6 by four-star Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, former ambassador to South Viet Nam and 45-vear veteran of the army.
Classes will be officially dismissed for the 10:30 a.m. convocation at Hoch Auditorium. The program is jointly sponsored by KU, the Student Union Activities and the All Student Council.
"WITH THE QUICKENING of the Cold War's pace and the growing proximity of it, we felt bringing General Taylor to the KU campus could not come at a more opportune time," said John Sapp, Havana, Ill., senior and feature speaker chairman for the SUA.
Gen. Tavlor will arrive in Kansas City Sunday, Dec. 5, but his KU appearance will not begin until Monday.
"WE HOPE TO create an atmosphere of a 'Meet the Press' discussion in which students and other interested persons will feel free to question Gen. Taylor," Sapp said.
In addition to the morning convocation, Taylor will speak at a 12:30 informal discussion hour in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
A luncheon engagement has also been scheduled.
General Tavlor resigned "for personal reasons" from the ambassador's position in July of 19-65, after serving in that capacity for one year. Two months later he was appointed as a special consultant to President Lyndon B. Johnson.
IN HIS CONSULTANT capacity Taylor is concerned with the diplomatic, military, strategic and economic problems which confront the President. Gen. Taylor terms his new position a "task force job."
The 63-year-old general has
served the U.S. government for 45 years.
A 1922 graduate of West Point, Taylor served as Chief-of-Staff and Artillery Commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II.
AFTER THE WAR, he returned to his alma mater to become superintendent for the next four years.
After leaving West Foint, Taylor returned to Europe as Chief-of-Staff for the Armed Forces. In 1949 he served as Commander of American Military Government and Armed Forces in Berlin.

DURING THE KOREAN crisis, he commanded the 8th Army. He then served as commander of all U.S. Army Forces in the Far East. Soon the United Nations forces were added to his command there.
From 1955 to 1959 he was Chief-of-Staff of the Army.
The late President John F. Kennedy appointed Gen. Taylor to serve in a military capacity in 1961 after the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba.
Student Left Will Demonstrate Saturday for Viet Nam Peace
By Lee Byrd
A week so big it takes eight days to last marks a current flurry of activity on the KU "student left."
Friday, KU Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) presented a seminar on the Viet Nam war.
The Student Peace Union (SPU) has a display in the Kansas Union scheduled to last through the week.
Saturday morning the SPU plans a demonstration against the draft at the Lawrence draft board.
At 1 p.m. Saturday, a temporary student-faculty committee on Viet Nam, jointly sponsored by SDS, SPU, the KU Committee to End the War in Viet Nam, KU-Y, and Student Union Activities (SUA), will present tape recordings of an international teach-in on the Viet Nam War that was held in Toronto, Canada, Oct. 9. A panel discussion will follow.
An immediate cessation of U.S. military actions in Viet Nam was advocated here Friday night by a past national president of SDS.
Todd Gitlin, now an officer-at-large of SDS, spoke at a Viet Nam Seminar sponsored by the KU
chapter of the organization. About 150 persons attended the event in the Kansas Union.
Gitlin said that U.S. involvement in Viet Nam should be restricted to economic assistance. He advocated, however, U.S. support of the "nationist spirit" in Viet Nam, and said this country should make good its promise to allow free elections there.
"I do not believe the Viet Nam peoples would ask the United States to pull stakes and go home if we would allow them to govern themselves in their own manner," Gitlin said.
Don Olson, Lawrence sophomore and moderator for the seminar, said Gittin had come to KU after Carl Oglebsy, current president of national SDS, cancelled plans to appear due to pneumonia.
The seminar was based on a discussion of "World Revolution and American Containment," a document written by Oglebsy which is a criticism of the U.S. State Department's "White Paper on Viet Nam" published last February.
Gillin and Olson were joined in their presentations by members of the audience who were allowed to speak at length. One, an ex-
Marine, said that while he felt the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam was distasteful, it was made necessary by such Viet Cong "atrocities" as public bombings in Saigon.
"I agree with you in deploring the actions of both forces," Gitlin replied. "But the answer is not for us to continue fighting. Instead, we must stop the fighting."
Gilkin is a graduate of Harvard University and the University of Michigan. He has written articles on the Viet Nam war and related matters for several magazines, including New University Thought, the Correspondent, the Commonweal, Monthly Review, The Progressive, and Dissent.
Gilin's wife, Nanci, recently returned from Jakarta, Indonesia, where she was a member of a U.S. Women's Strike for Peace delegation that met with women from North Viet Nam and the South Viet Nam National Liberation Front.
A reception for Gittlin followed the seminar. About 100 persons attended the event at the residence of Donald Emmons, assistant professor of philosophy.
