ASC Newcomers to Tackle Problems of KU Government
The All Student Council will have ten new names on its weekly roll call after tonight when the ten ASC school representatives, elected last Thursday, begin their terms.
Some of these new members were asked for impressions of their new role and student government, even though they have yet to be sworn in tonight.
MARTHA STOUT, LaGrange, Ill.
juniar (Vox, Education) said, "I'm excited about working in Student government. I haven't had a whole lot of experience. 'I've had experience in other fields, but I'm sure I'll catch on."

John Pepper, Lenexa junior (Vox Journalism), said "I feel like I've got a big job to do and I just hope I can do my best with it."

Pepper stated he thought he had a lot to learn on the Council, even though he has worked in KU politics several years and compared his first night at Council with the "first day in school."
MIKE SIZEMORE, Newton first year graduate law student (UP, law) also commented upon his new position.
"I'm looking forward to it. I really don't know much more about it than anyone else does—It's just what I've learned through campaigning.
Jeffrey Irving, Leonia, N.J. graduate student (Vox, graduate school) noted that working with KU student government would be "a big change of pace" for him.

Irving explained that he graduated from Colgate University with a population of 1,400 men whereas KU has almost 14,000 men and women.
He said he feels there is much "less personal contact between the administration and the KU undergraduate student body." Irving said he thinks this is an important role for student government, to help
increase this contact and interest Ron Peden, Danville senior (Vox Engineering) said, when asked his feelings on his Council membership. "I think it will be a chance to express my ideas and what I think should be done for the student government. Right now, I'm in a position to be able to do it."
Mike Vineyard, Wymore, Neb.
juniur (Vox, College Men) said "Tin
rather excited about working on
the ASC. I think it will be a fulf-
filling year on Council. I hope we
can avoid some of the controversy
next year."
Vox Populi candidates took eight of the ten Council seats up for contest while University Party won two.
Sizemore and Dave Trotter, Bartlesville junior (UP, Business), the two UP representatives, were asked whether UP's minority position on Council would make a difference with UP effectiveness on the ASC.
"I haven't really thought about this question because I didn't feel party affiliations were that important on Council." Trotter said.
Sizemore stated he "feels fortunate that he was one of the successful UP candidates. Me noted that the UP minority "could make work on the Council more difficult" but that this question "will be answered at the time."
SOME OF THE VOX representatives were asked if they thought their party's majority position on Council would be of significance in coming legislation.
Spring Stidham, Park Ridge, Ill., sophomore (Vox, College Women), said that, although she doesn't know all about the way Council functions, from what she's seen and heard about the ASC the Vox majority "would be quite a help."
Irving said "I would hope the majority would not make that much difference. I wish both parties would work together cohesively."
Mike Vineyard said "It will depend upon the nature of the legislation. I would hope each member would vote according to his personal feelings on the issues. I'm certainly going to."
THE NEW ASC representatives also were asked if they had any particular legislation in mind.
John Fepper said, "I would like to see the Kansan separated from the ASC. I hate to see any body dependent upon or under a political body."
Miss Stout revealed that though she didn't have definite legislation in mind "other than that in our platform" she would like to develop more personal contact with the students through their houses and residence halls.
Trotter noted that he wanted legislation that would really accomplish something.
"I'm really sincerely interested in seeing that they do something worthwhile," he said.
SOME OF THE Council members also discussed the effectiveness of the All Student Council this year.
Jeff Irving said, "The Council's effectiveness isn't as great as it can be."
Irving said graduate students showed "marked apathy" toward government which either might be because they are not involved with it or that "they see the ASC as ineffective."
"I think there is room for improvement in the ASC." Mike Vineyard commented, "and I hope to try to work on this next year."
"There are over 2000 graduate students. Not over 200 voted in this last election." Irving added.

PEDEN SAID "I think the ASC can be very beneficial if people allow it to be. It should correct the general apathy of the students toward it."
Miss Stidham stated that "From what I've read in the UDK and heard from people about the ASC. I'm quite pleased with the way it works this year."
TOPEKA —(UPI)— William F. Zimmer, 44, convicted kidnapper-killer of seven-year-old Gladys Johnson of Topeka, was sentenced Monday to hang on the Kansas gallows Oct. 27.
Shawnee County District Judge Marion Beatty over-ruled Zimmer's motion for a new trial and set the execution date.

"THE DEFENDANT." he said, "is entitled to one fair trial and I am satisfied that he received it."
