KU-Y Senate to convene Dec.16
Unlike the U.S. Senate, the KU-Y Model Senate has more Republican senators than Democrats.
The Senate, which convenes at 1 p.m. next Friday and Saturday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union, will have 60 Republicans and 40 Democrats.
They will debate more than 20 bills which cover a wide range of subjects. Some of these are:
- To provide for abolishing hidden interest rates;
- To provide for the systematic collection of war debts;
- To prohibit aid payments to countries trading with North Viet Nam;
- To remedy the problems of smog and polluted rivers and streams;
- To legalize abortion and give birth control pills to anyone who desires them.
Any senator, group of senators, or committee may introduce a bill, Walt Stromquist, co-chairman of the KU-Y Senate and Charleston, Ill., freshman, said.
There are six Senate Committees: Civil Rights; Defense Program; Economics; Foreign Relations; Health, Education, and Welfare; and Labor.
"The purpose of the KU-Y Model Senate is to help freshmen gain a better knowledge of current events and legislative problems in the United States and to promote a feeling of pride in the national government," Stromquist said.
Foundation pouring begins on new School of Religion
Pouring of the foundation for the new Myers Hall, home of the Kansas School of Religion, began Wednesday, Dean William J. Moore said.
The $410,000 construction project was started Nov. 1 when the former Myers Hall, a KU landmark since 1886, was razed.
"The new building is moving along according to schedule," Dean Moore said. "The cold weather earlier last month did curtail progress, but workmen are now working regularly."
COMPLETION OF the unit is expected during late July with dedication tentatively set for October, Dean Moore said.
The building will cover an estimated 20,000 square feet and will contain four modern, well-equipped classrooms along with space for three offices. A new library wing to house 12,000 volumes is planned.
While the school is being built, day classes meet in the Wesley Foundation Center, in which temporary administrative offices are located. Night classes are being held in Blake Hall.
"Such a program is a vital part of the educational experience."
"Early day churchmen were farsighted in organizing a school of religion," Dean Moore said.
Dean Moore sees an enrollment of nearly 1,200 students by 1970.
ENROLLMENT increased by 200 this fall. In September more than 800 students were enrolled in courses in the School of Religion.

Expansion also can be cited in the curriculum of the school, he said. A graduate study program to offer a master's degree, eventually a doctor's degree, has been proposed and should be in operation within two years.
FORT WORTH, Tex. - (UPI)—The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association keeps a complete record of cattle brands in Texas—more than 240,000 of them—on file in its headquarters here.
