COSA discusses campus problems
EDITOR'S NOTE: Students for a Democratic Society recently charged COSA with being an "inherently undemocratic device for social control operating through secrecy and repression." Various students en campus seem to have little or no idea of COSA's function; therefore we offer an explanation of the Council. By RUTH ROHRER
Last year the need was recognized for a formal arrangement by which the administration and students could discuss campus problems and issues unrelated to academic affairs.
The Student Personnel Committee (SPC), which has existed for 20 years, had been planning the formation of such a group since last October. After much revamping and revising, SPC arrived at the idea of the Council on Student Affairs (COSA).
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe formally announced the establishment of COSA on March 4, 1966.
LAURENCE C. WOODRUFF, dean of students and chairman of COSA, explained COSA's procedure and functions.
COSA seeks to maintain continuous communication with students, faculty and staff and to promote full and free discussion of matters of concern to the University community, Woodruff said.
COSA is also responsible for conducting a continuous study of regulations and standards for student conduct in non-academic areas and for making recommendations to the Chancellor regarding those matters.
IF APPROVED by the Chancellor, the recommendations become official KU regulations published in the student handbook. About half the regulations appearing in the 1966-67 handbook are the results of COSA.
Woodruff said students wishing to discuss matters with COSA may arrange to do so by contacting the chairman or any member of the council.
The membership of the council includes: Donald Alderson, dean of men; Emily Taylor, dean of women; Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union; Raymond Schwegler, director of student health service; Aldon Bell, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences; Donald Metzler, dean of the school of engineering and architecture; Dan Hopson, professor of law; James K. Hitt, director of admissions and registrar; George Forman, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and Gordon Colllister, director of guidance services.
AT THE BEGINNING of each semester, two students are appointed to membership in COSA by the student body president for a term of three semesters.
This semester, the student members are Jerald Cochran, Harper senior; Cindy Hardin, Lincoln, Neb., junior; Al Martin, Shawnee Mission junior; Eric Morgenthaler, Prairie Village senior; Kay Orth. El Dorado senior; Kay Patterson, Newton Square, Pa., senior, and Bill Robinson, Great Bend senior.
