Legislation Dominates First '65 ASC Meeting
By Judy Farrell
The All Student Council last night amended Bill No. 27 concerning special representatives to the ASC, and then voted to consider the amended bill at its next meeting.
Council members also passed four resolutions, five amendments, introduced four pieces of legislation, and heard a short speech from James B. Pearson, Republican senator from Kansas.
en Students (AWS) and International Club. Each organization now has one representative with speaking privileges, but no vote, on matters before the ASC.
The bill the council will consider at its next meeting concerns representatives from Associated Wom-
BILL NO. 27 was passed by the council last year, but was among bills which had not been sent to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe for review. It was tabled at the last meeting until the presidents of the organizations affected could be present.
The council passed an amendment last night which would allow
Henry Mancini Band Planning KU Concert
Henry Mancini, voted the top band attraction by the 1964 Billboard magazine reader poll, will appear at KU April 24.
Mancini will be on his first college tour in recent years. Harry Belafonte, voted the top male folk singer in the same poll, appeared this fall, also on his first college tour in several years.
"Definite arrangements for the concert are still in the planning stage," Mike Rogers, chairman of the special events area of Student Union Activities, said. "The steering committee for the concert will not be chosen until about the second week of second semester.
"The concert will be held in Allen Field House," Rogers, Hutchinson senior, said. "We hope to sell about eight to ten thousand tickets for the performance.
"This concert continues in the new trend of concerts held in large seating capacity field houses," Rogers said. "This is the third such concert held at KU, and we've profiled in know-how from our Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Belafonte concerts, and we feel we will be able to accommodate the students better this time."
The concert falls at the end of Greek Week, Rogers said, but is sponsored solely by Student Union Activities.
Mancini has scored over fifteen motion pictures, has won three oscars, eleven grammys and has written a book on orchestration entitled, "Sounds and Scores."
More than 3,000,000 of his albums have been sold in the last three years. Among his albums are "Shot in the Dark," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "The Pink Panther," "Charade," "Hatari," and "Days of Wine and Roses."
"Some people call Mancini's style jazz," Rogers said, "but it's really pure Mancini style."
In his scoring he has used an Auto harp (a child's toy), a piano deliberately tuned off-key, imported African instruments, and the down fiddle to produce his unusual arrangements.
Mancini started his award winnings in 1937, with his first award coming when he was first flutist in the Pennsylvania All-State Band.
the two organizations, and any others petitioning the council, to send observers to ASC meetings. The observers would be allowed to speak by the unanimous consent of ASC members, on matters affecting their organization.
The amendment also provides for an observer's staff to acquaint organizations with activities and issues of the council.
With a roll call vote of 16 to 14, the council voted to resubmit the amended bill to the ASC committee on committees and legislation for study. The bill will be presented at the next regular ASC meeting.
THE COUNCIL also voted to resubmit to committee a bill establishing a University facts and statistics committee.
The action came after an amendment was passed adding sections dealing with compiling of information, the comparison of data about KU, and communication of the information on and off campus.
The five amendments passed by the council were;
- An amendment setting a maximum of $1,200 in the general publication reserve fund and transferring to the ASC any part of 25 per cent in excess of this.
- An amendment providing for the appointment of the student body vice-president if the office should become vacated.
- An amendment establishing the student Blood bank committee as the authority for conducting all KU blood donation drives.
- An amendment establishing an ASC information officer to post information concerning the activities of the ASC on the official ASC bulletin board. The amendment designated the glass-enclosed bulletin board on the south side of the Information Booth as the official bulletin board.
- An amendment removing the head cheerleader from the pep committee as this committee elects the next year's cheerleaders.
- The council passed a resolution to send a letter to Mrs. Fred Ellsworth expressing its sympathy on the death of Mr. Fred Ellsworth, retired secretary of the KU Alumni Association.
- A resolution providing for the authorization of official ASC minutes by the chairman, and for the

Pearson Asks Concept Change
U. S. Senator James B. Pearson called on Republicans to project a more enlightened interpretation of conservatism in a speech given to KU Collegiate Young Republicans last night.
The speech on the future of the Republican party called for an end to "meaningless intra-party war."
Pearson commented on the resignation of Dean Burch as Republican National Chairman in an interview after the speech.
PEARSON SAID. "Burch had become controversial, and I doubt if he could unify the party.
"Ray Bliss of Ohio is a logical choice to be the new chairman. He has been a great state chairman with a remarkable reputation. He is one of the people with every qualification in the world to get the job done," Pearson said.
Pearson said the national chairman must be able to unify the party and lead it to victory in 1966.
COMMENTING ON PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S educational program, Pearson said, "Johnson is tying many of his educational programs to the war on poverty to try to get away from the thorny problem of aid to parochial schools."
Pearson said he didn't believe the U.S. government would decide to neutralize South Viet Nam. He again stated his belief that the U.S. must stay in Viet Nam.
Pearson said to pull out of Viet Nam would have a disastrous psychological reaction in Southeast Asia, and encourage further Chinese Communist aggression.
COMMENTING ON DEMOCRATIC control of Congress, Pearson said, "The Democrats will continue to control congressional investigating committees. They have the power to say who is investigated, and how far the investigation will go."
In his speech Pearson said, "The time has come to talk Republican party politics in frank, and above all, honest terms."
Pearson mentioned six circumstances that he believed helped cause the defeat of the national ticket. He said large numbers of voters were frightened that our leadership would make a sharp break from present policy, Negroes were driven into the Democratic party by our candidate's position on civil rights and factions of our party refused to conciliate their positions to achieve a unified campaign.
"THE REPUBLICANS PRESENTED no real program for putting their policy into effect. Our national ticket aroused the fear that their administration would get us into war, through the use of careless words and ideas," Pearson continued.
Pearson said, "Johnson faced the public against the background of national mourning for a martyred President and a 'honeymoon period' accorded all new presidents.
"We won't become the majority party if we represent a narrow political sect. We must become what every successful party has been; a broad coalition of groups who agree on basic principles," he said.
PEARSON CALLED FOR AN ARMISTICE in the war of semantics between different groups in the Republican party.
Bill Porter, Topeka sophomore and CYR chairman, announced the formation of a constitutional revision committee, and a convention committee to plan for the state and midwest CYR conventions.
Porter said the club would try to organize transportation to hear Ronald Reagan speak at the Lincoln Day Celebration in Independence, Kan., Feb. 12.
PORTER ANNOUNCED that the new House Minority Leader, Representative Gerald Ford of Michigan would speak at Kansas Day ceremonies in Topeka Friday, Jan. 29.
Lawrence Ski Resort Plans Fall Opening
By Suzy Tichacek
Skiing, an already popular sport, is expected to become even more popular to KU students and Lawrence residents with the opening of a near-by ski resort.
Plans for the opening of the Mont Bleu ski resort have been announced by Robert Dunaway, president of Mont Bleu Ski. Inc.
The resort will be located near Blue Mound, about five miles southeast of Lawrence.
"We plan to open next fall." Dunaway said, "as soon as the weather gives us an extended spell of freezing temperatures in order to build up a good base of skiable snow, which means 12 to 14 inches in depth. Normally, this will be in the Nov. 30th to Dec. 15th range."
DUNAWAY EXPLAINED that the artificial snow for the resort will be made with very high capacity air compressors with lots of water to be pumped through the snow-making system.
Mont Bleu Ski, Inc. became an official corporation last Dec. 1.
Dunaway explained that due to the late start nothing more could be done this winter other than additional planning for the summer time construction schedule and purchasing of equipment.
"I AM SURE THERE WILL BE student rates available." Dunaway said, "and some sort of special 'learn-to-ski' plan for them, which will of a necessity take advantage of split-schedules and our slack time periods on ski rental equipment."
In addition to the ski slope and rope tows to carry skiers to the top of the ski peak, there will be a ski lodge with a snack bar and a store where ski equipment will be sold and rented.
Flans to open the ski resort were greeted with enthusiasm by KU Ski Club president, Martha Knight, Shawnee Mission senior. Miss Knight said she expects the club's membership to grow with the opening of the facilities.
"Skiing is becoming so popular."
Miss Knight said, "everyone wants
to try it, and once you ski, you can't stop.
"I WAS LOOKING FORWARD to having a small area nearby." Miss Knight said, "where beginners could learn how to ski before they decide to go on skiing trips sponsored by the Ski Club."
Miss Knight said the proposed resort would offer an opportunity for the Ski Club members to train without the expense of traveling far.
"We have thought about trying to ski down Campanile hill." Miss Knight quipped, "but this is rather silly.
"THE SKIERS DO NEED practice," she said. "When you go skiing on a mountain a mile higher than Kansas, it is very dangerous if a person is not in shape."
Weather
Partly cloudy and colder weather is forecast for tonight, with generally fair weather on Thursday, the Weather Bureau said. The low tonight will be from 10 to 15 degrees.
Although the idea of a ski resort near Lawrence, with artificial snow appealed to Miss Knight, she expressed doubt as to whether the plans would work.
"The success of the resort with artificial snow would be entirely dependent upon the weather," Miss Knight said, "too dependent to be a worth-while venture in my opinion."
Al Feinstein, 63 KU graduate and past president of the Ski Club, felt the opening of the ski resort
After skiing about seven years in Colorado and also on slopes made out of artificial snow, Miss Knight said that for artificial snow to pack properly, the temperature must not rise above 20 degrees.
"ON SOME DAYS, even at 10 degrees, the sun would tend to pack the artificial snow into ice and cause accidents." Miss Knight said.
would definitely boost the membership of the club.
"I think it would help because it would give the beginner and those hesitant to go on the ski trips an opportunity to try sking beforehand," he said.
"ALSO IT WOULD GIVE the experienced skiers a chance to get in shape so they don't have to waste the first day on a ski trip." Feinstein said.
Although Feinstein has never skimed on artificial snow, he said that according to all the reports he had read, it worked about as well as natural snow.
"I think the area would be a success because skiing is becoming so popular," Feinstein said. "I know the University people would use it."
According to Dunaway, the corporation will be hiring summer construction help in the near future and will start applications for full and part time job openings for the ski area around July.
