WESCOE REPORT
COSA adds members
By Eric Morgenthaler
By Eric Morgenthaler
Three students and two administrators have been added to the Council on Student Affairs (COSA), Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced today.
Appointed today were James K. Hitt, Registrar and Director of Admissions, and Gordon Colliser, Director of the Guidance Service. The students will be appointed later by the student body president.
THE ADDITION MAKES a total of six students on the 17-man council, which was created in March as a permanent body of students, faculty, and administrative members.
Chancellor Wescoe created COSA as an agency for maintaining communication within the University community; promoting full and free discussion of matters of concern to the University community, with particular attention to the non-academic aspects of student life; and conducting a continuous study of University regulations and standards for student conduct in nonacademic areas, making recommendations to the Chancellor regarding those matters.
An item of immediate concern facing COSA will be consideration of the recent All Women Students rules changes.
STUDENT MEMBERS of COSA will serve for three semesters. In order to stagger the terms, the student body president
will be asked to appoint two students each semester.
Already serving on the council are Jerald R. Cochran, Harper junior, Katherine Patterson, Newton Square, Pa., junior, and William L. Robinson, Great Bend junior.
Administrators on COSA are: Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, chairman; Donald K. Alderson, dean of men; Emily Taylor, dean of women, Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union; Raymond Schwegler, acting director of the Student Health Service; Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; and Donald E. Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Prager voted to chair ASC in close race
Jim Prager, Annandale, Va. junior (Vox-small men's), was elected chairman of the All Student Council (ASC) in last night's ASC meeting.
Prager edged out Kay Orth, El Dorado junior (UP—sorority), winning by two votes in a council evenly divided in votes between the two parties.
See WOMEN page 11.
"Every Senate member should be able to explain what the decisions were and why they were made. The Senate is supposed to consider all aspects of the question," Miss Hoke said.
Faculty members on the council are Dan Hopson Jr., professor of law, and George W. Forman, associate professor of mechanical engineering.
Results of the Senate vote will be made public at the discretion of COSA, Miss Peterson said. Although she could not officially speak for COSA, she said, "The public will be informed next Tuesday."
Tom Rader, Greensburg sophomore (Vox—fraternity), was elected council vice-chairman; Rosie Burns, Caldwell sophomore (UP—sorority), was chosen secretary; and Bob McAdoo, Larned junior (UP—business) was elected treasurer of the council.
The secrecy resulted, Miss Peterson said, because "we don't want to fight over and over again. We just decided not to say anything. Personally I don't have time to explain the rules to everybody."

AWS changes rule in secrecy
VARIOUS NEW rulings were passed by an AWS convention that met twice during March. The convention reviews rules for women every four years. Some of the rulings, subject to approval by the AWS Senate and the school, included proposals to eliminate closing for senior, junior and second semester sophomore women, no code of conduct clause, liberalization of sign-out procedures.
Although yesterday's meeting was technically open to the public, everyone present had to take a personal pledge of secrecy. This move was decided by the senators, and did not come from any one person, according to Miss Peterson.

By Elizabeth Rhodes In a secrecy-shrouded meeting, the Associated Women Students Senate has voted to change a major resolution proposed by last month's women's rules convention.
SUGGESTIONS MADE by the Senate will then be passed to the Council on Student Affairs (COSA), which must also register its approval.
At least one senator did not know the rationale behind the secrecy decision. "I am not sure I can explain why the rules are secret. They just are. We aren't trying to hide anything now," said Carolyn Hoke, Prairie Village senior and chairman of the rules convention.
Public announcement of the change will be postponed at least until next Tuesday "to save needless confusion," Ann Peterson, Shawnee Mission senior and outgoing president of the AWS, said.
Dean Taylor denied that any major changes in such issues as closing hours had been made.
THE MEETING WAS dominated by the election of officers and was adjourned due to the press of time with several pieces of legislation outstanding.
EMILY TAYLOR, dean of women, explained the decision saying, "The girls think they have a better chance of making their point if these changes are not discussed beforehand." She praised their rules decisions. "I think they've done real well."
Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore, who was installed at last week's ASC meeting as student body president, addressed the council prior to the election of officers.
Martin said students today are faced with a challenge of involvement and have the choice of becoming involved in campus affairs or neglecting their responsibilities.
"THE STUDENT RIGHTS movement may be more liberally interpreted as a movement for student involvement," he said.
"The reason this next year will be crucial is that there is so much more concern about issues that

Wrestling dilemma grows as coach plans to leave
Bu Steve Russell
KU's wrestling team, faced with having its sport withdrawn from the campus, is also faced with the possibility of not having a coach next year.
At a meeting held by the team last night, to discuss the future of their sport, head coach Gary Duff said he will not return to KU next fall.
DUFF SAID he sees no way in which he will be able to continue on at KU.
Duff said that in a previous
meeting with Wade Stinson, KU Athletic Director, he asked Stinson if KU would have a team next year and if he (Duff) would be allowed to coach full time. Duff is presently listed as an assistant coach or part-time coach in the athletic department.
Duff said Stinson told him he didn't know, at that time, what was going to happen to the team, and advised Duff, "for my benefit, to look for work elsewhere."
HE SAID lack of financial support is the main problem with
wrestling at KU at present. He added that a full time coach, who knows where and is provided with the means to recruit talented prospects, is another necessity before the team will be able to compete in the Strong Big Eight conference.
"We wrestled this year with three varsity members who had never wrestled before," he said. SIXTEEN MEMBERS of the 25 men on the freshman and varsity wrestling teams attended the
