Schrey Plans New Role
Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior and new student body president, sees establishing better ties between the student government and student needs as one of his most important jobs.
In an interview during the campaign last week. Schrey discussed student government, his goals if elected, and his personal life.
The tall, sandy-haired president said, "I'd like to have a way of reaching every student to find out what his problems are. So many times the students will have opinions on something but they sit back and don't say anything."
ASKED HOW he would accomplish this more vocal link with the students; Scheyre said, "on issues we know exist" the student government would conduct student opinion polls. He said he would also like to sit down and talk to the living groups either at dinner or in talk sessions throughout his term.
The new president talked also about the program he would like to see the Council initiate.
"Personally, this program involves the KU and Kansas plan. Our platform sets up an indirect pressure or lobby group to provide a channel of student opinion to legislature on bills before them which could affect KU. "There is strong student sentiment for the bills before them. I would like to see student opinion expressed at the right time in the right places," Schrey said.
SINCE SCHREY HAS been an ASC representative for two years, he was asked what he considered the most important legislation he has worked on. "I think our endorsement of the UHRC (University Human Relations Committee—which looks into charges of campus discrimination) was a pretty important piece of legislation," he stated.
Schrey also discussed the recent developments in the campus civil rights movement.
"I THINK A lot of people knew it (housing discrimination, etc.) was there. A lot were just trying to hold it back," Schrey said. "If we had started sooner there might have been no need for the city demonstrations."
He explained he thought there should have been earlier attempts to discuss the civil rights problem.
Questioned also about any change in the character of the Council that he has noticed, Schrey said there seemed to be more interest in bills and proposals.
"Both parties have been rather equal on Council representation.
The other side worries about the political advantage and looks closer at the bills. They don't want to pass something they don't agree with. It's constructive criticism generated by the competition," Schrey said.
"THERE IS AN unlimited potential of what student government can do. If it can develop enough people to take the time and responsibility to see that things get done," Schrey said.
He noted this was one of the reasons he was in student government to try to generate more student interest and feeling for student government.
He added that if enough people would be willing to work he believed all student activities could be administered by students or student committees without outside help.
Scherey is majoring in business administration and will receive a Bachelor of Science degree. He said he doesn't know if he will go to graduate school yet.
If he does, Schrey said he would like to either obtain an assistantship in graduate school or become a resident director in a residence hall while attending graduate school.
Schrey noted he doesn't have any particular state or job he would like to work in. He said he would prefer a job involving a lot of travel.
"I would like to work with the government in some finance or trade work." Schrey said.
HE WAS ASKED when and why he became interested in business. "Basically, business has been the
only area I've enjoyed courses in. I liked working with people." Schrey explained. "I worked in business situations during the summers.
He said these included working in a veterinary lab last summer where veterinary medicine is produced.
Even though he hasn't had the time recently because of campaigning, Schrey was asked how he relaxes when he does have the time.
"I enjoy playing on the hall's intramural teams. Maybe it's nervous energy, but I don't like to sit still."
"I THINK this convention was when I first realized how interesting people can be. I got to meet some really outstanding people. This what really stimulated me to stay active in working with students," he remarked.
Schrey also told about the experience which has had the most effect on him. He said this occurred when he attended a convention in Denver of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls.

Schrey was also asked what his greatest satisfaction in college has been.
"Truthfully, I've always wanted to run for student body president. I really never thought I'd get the chance," he replied.
Schrey has lived in Leavenworth all his life. He has one sister, Mary, who is a ninth grader. His father has a business which buys used trucks and converts them into fire trucks to be used by small town fire departments. His mother works in a department store.
