Class Board Established
A Board of Class Officers, composed of the officers from each class was established last Wednesday night at a meeting of class officers in the Kansas Union.
The purpose of the board is to discuss and offer solutions to the problems involved in having successful and efficient class government, according to Richard Wintermote, executive secretary of the KU Alumni Association and Board of Class Officers chairman.
Class Outfitters Chairman
He said four subcommittees of
about five board members each was
formed last week which will report
on possible action in four problem
areas of class government at the
Board's next meeting. Wednesday
night at 7 p.m. in the Union.
- Elections—"Many students don't know how to go about running for class office even though they are interested in it."
- Organization - "This involves how an organization, if it is to be an active organization, could be structured as to committees and representatives."
- Financial—"This committee is discussing how the classes, other than the senior class, can finance themselves."
- Activities and Projects—"This deals with what each class would like to do during the year in the form of social entertainment and service to the University."
Winternote said that the board was formed on a permanent basis, with the support of the Alumni office, "at the request and encouragement of the officers and other interested people."
HE SAID THAT the board, after the four committees report their recommendations Wednesday, cannot actually put them into effect but "they could adopt them as resolutions."
He noted that he thought a possible resolution of the board would be to have a voluntary dues system for the other three classes like that of the Senior class.
In order for a class to have a dues system, they would have to make arrangements with the registrar and University Business Office for their cooperation. Wintermote explained. He said that this is what the senior class did when they initiated their voluntary fee payment.
The senior dues are paid at enrollment through a University system of class fee cards.
SAYING THAT CLASS finances were the biggest problem in effective class organization, Wintermote listed a "lack of organization and lack of continuity" as other problems which the board would consider.
"There is no continuity through the four years of a class; the officers change, nothing holds the classes together," he said.
He was asked if the board would exist next year. "We will make an effort to call the officers together and, probably, they will all be interested." Winternote said.
Wintermote also stated his idea of the importance and significance of the board: It causes all of us to sit down and think about the problem (class organization). It gives us the opportunity to bring people together who have had experience in class government . . . to help the classes and students in future years."
AN OFFICER of each class was contacted about ideas on the board, even though the board and officers have only had a formative meeting.
Tonto Mays, Lyons senior and senior class president, said he believed the board would "lend continuity and sense of direction to the new class officers."
LARRY BAST. Topeka junior and junior class vice-president, said that he thought the board offers "a forum to throw out problems and come out with new ideas to start next year with."
Don Hunter, Abilene sophomore and sophomore class president, emphasized the help which such a board could be to class officers.
Tom Rader, Greensburg freshman and freshman class president, said, "I think the board has as good or better possibilities as any organization on campus. It has a lot of high interest, it has the support of the Alumni Association."

A message of importance to sophomore men
If you've got what it takes to be an Army Officer; you may qualify for this new on-campus training program
A new Army ROTC program starts this coming Summer for sophomore men who apply prior to May 1—only 3,000 applicants to be accepted
If you're a sophomore now attending one of the 247 colleges and universities that offer Army Officer training-or you plan to transfer to one of these schools next Fall-you may qualify for the new two-year Army ROTC program.
This new program-designed especially for college men who have not taken Army ROTC during their first two years-will commence with six weeks of field training this coming Summer, beginning June 14. Then you'll have on-campus training during your junior year . . . six additional weeks at camp during the following Summer . . . and more on-campus training during your senior year. Even flight training is offered at some schools.
ROTC training is really a process of learning to organize and direct others to be a leader. Consider how important this ability can be to you throughout life; yet, to acquire it you will spend relatively little time in the ROTC classroom. You'll obtain valuable junior management experience .a fuller and richer campus life . extra spending money ($40 per month during your junior and senior school years, and even more during Summer training) .and, when you graduate, an Army Officer's commission as Second Lieutenant. Then you'll normally spend two interesting years on active duty, often abroad with opportunities for travel.
Talk to the Professor of Military Science on your campus about this opportunity. Ask him to describe this new short program in detail.
Or send in the coupon below for complete information. There's no obligation involved, and you'll not be subjected to any "hard sell" recruiting effort. The kind of men the Army wants can decide for themselves if this new opportunity is right for them.
If you're good enough to be an Army Officer, don't settle for less. Sign up now for Army ROTC.
