Small number attends first KUPA meeting
With an attendance of 16 including six members, the Kansas University Progressive Alliance (KUPA) held its first open meeting last night.
Bill Sampson, Topeka junior and president of KUPA, opened the meeting with an introduction of the members.
SAMPSON EXPLAINED that the organization is concerned with work on the All Student Council (ASC) primarily, KUPA is not trying to control politics, but rather to motivate the students to take an interest in student government, he added.
The meeting, according to Sampson, was a test of student reaction, by being so early in the year. It was also to point out student interest in government.
Jerry Bean, Abilene junior (KUPA—large men's), explained briefly the loyalty oath resolution brought up in ASC Tuesday night.
James Klumpp, Coffeyville senior and KUPA member, spoke on the redistricting bill introduced into ASC by Kay Orth, El Dorado senior (KUPA—sorority) and Dick Darville, Shawnee Mission senior (KUPA—large men's).
THE ROLE OF KUPA was discussed also. Klumpp said KUPA members don't put political expediency above the good of the student body.
In the future, KUPA plans to work for the alleviation of strength of the political parties on campus, Klumpp said. The main legislative plans are an elections bill to take some of the power away from the parties, and to revise the ASC executive committee system, which, he said, would do away with the spoils system.
The non-legislative plans call for campaign ideas that won't be "just empty pieces of paper." KUPA plans to tell the students what it feels, ask what the stu-
tions will also be distributed throughout the campus in order to attain the necessary signatures. Ten per cent of the student body must sign in order for KUPA to be a recognized party.

When we say we want people for the outer limits, this isn't what we have in mind.
Forget science fiction. We're talking about the "outer limits" of technology.And these days it can be even more exciting than science fiction.
Right now IBM needs qualified men and women to help reach these outer limits. The kind of people who have made IBM the leader in today's fastest-growing major industry: information handling and control.And the kind of people who can grow with us as far as their
talents and abilities allow.
The result? Greater personal responsibility and recognition; the dual satisfaction of personal achievement and continuing personal rewards. A pretty satisfying result.
job opportunities at IBM are in six major areas: Computer Applications, Programming Finance and Administration, Research and Development, Manufacturing and Marketing.
