(Continued from page 1)
students, followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen.
Snyder said fifth year pharmacy and engineering students would be considered seniors in the allocating of seats.
- A resolution by Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, and Jim Prager, Atchison sophomore, to establish a stadium expansion committee to investigate the feasibility and progress of possible additions to Memorial Stadium.
Nominations were also taken for the offices of ASC vice-chairman and secretary which will be voted upon at the next council meeting. Nominated for vice-chairman were George Tannous, Lebanon senior and UP member representing the unmarried-unorganized district, and Bill Brier, Overland Park senior and Vox representative from men's large residence halls. Nominated for secretary were Nancy Sturgis, St. Louis, Mo., junior and Vox member from the sorority district, and Mary Ruth Lanning, Lawrence junior and UP representative of College women.
Miner also read correspondence announcing the appointment of Walter Bgoya as representative from the International Club, and requests by Jim Frazier, Topek fifth year
pharmacy student, and Richard Danville, Shawnee Mission sophomore, that their names be placed on the role of the ASC so that they might run for student body president in the spring elections.
Taylor, as co-chairman with Brian Grace, Lawrence first year law student, the elections committee, read the committee's report on the Nov. 11-12 elections.
Taylor said that the complete election expenses were not yet available.
THE COMMITTEE, he said, recommended that the Council discontinue the practice of serving box lunches to poll workers. Taylor said the committee found it could save $130 by this.
The committee recommended that the professional-co-operative living district be abolished and this district incorporated into the men's small residence halls district.
Taylor also read recommendations for raising the filing fees for candidates and for revising the maximum amount which parties are allowed to spend in an election.
Miner said after the meeting that he did not know how soon copies of the bills could be printed and made available to council members.
THIS WAS THE SECOND MEETing at which the council attemptte to complete action on this legislatioin. A meeting Nov. 10 ended when members could not decide on the method of presentation for the legislation. At that time members debated whether or not the bills required an individual reading in accordance with ASC legislative procedures.
Following that meeting a general consensus of ASC members agreed the reading of the bills when they were first submitted to the ASC constitute the requirement for a first reading.
Under normal legislative process the bills would have been sent to the Committee on Committees and Legislation for review and recommendation by the Committee to the council. However, Miner told the council that the committee did not meet formally to consider the legislation, but that he had obtained individual approval of the legislation by the committee members.
Miner then suggested that the items be read, discussed and voted upon.
In the debate and vote which followed, it was decided to wait until after the bills had been printed and distributed.
'Cleaning Up Mess' is ASC Goal
Rv Janet Chartier
Newly elected All Student Council members massed to the center of the room between parallel tables last night to take the oath and be officially sworn into offices.
THE PERVADING THEME of new and old council members' comments was a desire to "clean up the mess."
"They have a definite problem so far," Jacquelyn Thayer, Ellsworth sophomore, said. "There was no excuse for this happened."
A member of University Party. Miss Thayer is the new representative from the women's small residence halls district.
She was referring to the recent ASC problems with 27 bills which had been passed from Oct. 6, 1963, to May 12, 1964, without the signature of Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
THIS EVENING the bills again were not voted on because of a desire for members to have copies of the bills before voting.
She voiced a concern about the apathy of students regarding student government. "The only way to correct apathy was to get some people on the council who were interested in doing just that," she said.
JIM CLINE, Rockford, Illinois junior, in his parting comments, warned new members against being constantly tied up in procedural matters.
"THE ONLY REASON I regret leaving the ASC now is because it is in such a mess," Cline said. "You have a big job to bring it back up in the respect of the eyes of students in which it stood."
Cline pointed out that only about 25 per cent of the time is used for constructive student government. "Keep this in mind in everything you do and say," he said.
Hugh Taylor, Stoke on Trent, England, graduate student, said parliamentary procedure is not a thing which can be abused. If correctly used it can help make meetings quicker and less confused.
Taylor is UP representative from the graduate school.
WALTER BGOYA, Tanganyika graduate student, said the fundamental question is how independent the ASC can act regarding the administration.
organized district. He will continue on the council as the International club representative.
After expressing his respect for the council, Bgoya said he hoped many of the petty things would stop.
"IT'S ABOUT WHAT I expected." Bill Henry, Leawood junior, said. The new UP representative for the fraternity district said he was glad it went the way it did.
Bgoya was an independent representative from the unmarried-un-
Henry said he was particularly interested in what effect bill number seven concerning removal of discriminatory clauses from fraternity charters would have on his district and the University as a whole.
"Id like to see them clean up the problem of civil rights especially," Nancy Sturgis, St. Louis junior, said.
A NEW VOX representative for the sorority district, she is also interested in the stadium expansion issue.
"The thing that would affect my district the most would be the civil rights issue because this bill most closely affects organized living groups," she said.
"Ive observed council meetings since last March and I agree with what was said earlier that council has found itself in a somewhat less desirable state than a year ago at this time," Bill Robinson, Great Bend sophomore, said.

Housing Shifts Planned—
Fraser Theater
(Continued from page 1)
In another housing change, dormitory fees for women will increase $12.50 per semester beginning next year, Dean Taylor said.
"It would be more convenient if upperclass women could live closer to campus," she said, "but we would not be gaining additional space. Lewis and Joseph R. Pearson have the same number of spaces, and we needed 200 more."
"The actual contract fee of $350 per semester will not change, but an application fee will be added," she said.
THE OCCUPANCY shifts were necessary, especially in the case of using Ellsworth Hall for women, because of increased enrollments, Dean Taylor said. Space for 200 more upperclass women will be available next year due to the change.
In conversation after the meeting, Dean Taylor explained that Ellsworth, rather than Joseph R. Pearson hall, was designated as a new upperclass women's hall because it had more space.
NEXT YEAR approximately 2,300 residence hall and 200 scholarship hall spaces will be taken by women. Men will occupy slightly less space—2,035 residence hall and 250 scholarship hall spaces.
All but 320 of KU's housing spaces have been built since 1950.
"The housing situation will inevitably get worse," Dean Taylor said. "With increasing enrollments, it can't get better."
Dean Taylor predicted that private residence halls, such as one tentatively planned for KU, will become necessary to meet all housing needs.
