Seating, pay to be topics before ASC
An amendment to the Athletic Seating Bill and a resolution to form a joint All Student Council-Student Labor Organization committee are on the agenda for tonight's ASC meeting, the last regularly scheduled meeting before elections.
Tonight at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union, Tom Rader, Greensburg sophomore and Vox Populi candidate for student body president, will introduce an amendment providing for the exchange of athletic tickets among KU students.
SLO met last night and recommended that a joint committee formed by three representatives each from the ASC and SLO plus one faculty member write a report for the Board of Regents about the adequacy of student wages. Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and University Party candidate for student body president, will introduce this resolution at tonight's ASC meeting.
BACK TO
AWS RULES
It's back to women's rights tonight as the Associated Women Students regulations convention meets for the second time. The meeting is scheduled from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Eallroom.
The 140 delegates will again represent their living groups in deciding next year's regulations for University women. Proposed topics are signouts, women's closing hours during summer school and the AWS honor code.
Martin did not want to reveal until tonight the remaining legislation he will introduce. He did say that it would be "of great significance to every KU student."
Rader will also submit a resolution calling for the reduction of foreign students' fees. These fees, he said, work a special hardship on the foreign students who are paying their own way or whose money loses value upon conversion to United States dollars.
The joint ASC-SLO committee was proposed at the SLO meeting yesterday by Mike Youngblood, Prairie Village sophomore and SLO president.
The committee would provide a documented study of the adequacy of the current pay rates for student employees of the University. Youngblood said.
The study would be presented to the regents when they meet in Pittsburg April 21 and 22.
Publicity chairman for SLO will be Dave Grim, Belton, Mo., senior. As part of the campaign questionnaires will be distributed at a table in the Kansas Union or near the information booth Thursday and next Monday, Youngblood said.
The questionnaires will ask students what they think the oncampus minimum wage for students should be, if they have an on-campus job and if so, what the salary is.

KANSAS CITY STRICKEN
Atom smasher list to 6
The Atomic Energy Commission today eliminated bids from this area from the lists of sites for a $375 million government atom smasher plant.
Several months ago, the Sunflower Ordnance Works, about 10 miles east of Lawrence on Kansas 10, was withdrawn from the competition following reactivation of the munitions plant.
PRIOR TO THAT time, KU,
Lawrence and Kansas City leaders had campaigned to have the atom smasher located at Sunflower because of its central location between Kansas City and KU.
Today, the AEC narrowed to six a list of more than 85 proposed sites throughout the country, including several additional locations in the Kansas City area.
They are at Ann Arbor, Mich., Denver, Brookhaven, Long Island, N.Y., Madison, Wis., in the Sierra foothills near Sacramento, Calif., and South Barrington, Ill., near Chicago.
The actual selection of the six finalists in the highly-sought competition was made by the National Academy of Science, on contract from the AEC.
FACTORS INFLUENCING the academy's choices include such things as availability of at least 3,000 acres for the atom smasher and associated buildings, power and water supply, suitable geological conditions, and accessibility for participating scientists.
The AEC is not bound by the academy's recommendations but, a spokesman said, will give them careful consideration. The commission said it will make additional studies that may be necessary before making a decision, which may take several months.
The giant atom smasher, considered to be a prime tool in the nation's high-energy physics program, will accelerate electrons with 200 billion volts and smash them into one another.
EVERYTHING MUST GO—Several bulldozers are clearing trees and fences on 15th Street between Engle Road and parking zone N to make way for a privately financed residence hall and possibly married student housing units. The eight homes on the site must be vacated by Aug. 15 to allow construction to begin as soon as possible.

Students examine problem corner
The intersection at 15th and Iowa Streets, a topic for discussion at the Lawrence City Commission meeting this afternoon, is also being studied by the civil engineering department of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
THE CIVIL engineering 185 class, taught by Thomas Jenkins instructor of civil engineering, is making a comprehensive study of the corner.
The students are making traffic counts, studying accident reports and interpreting the situation.
"I selected this corner because of the congestion caused there," Jenkins said. "I definitely believe that there should be some sort of traffic control at the intersection."
The class of nine seniors will complete their project near the end of this semester. The report will include all of their findings and recommendations for solving the problems.
"WE WILL base our result on the financial and practical areas." Jenkins said.
This intersection at 15th and Iowa Streets was featured in a full page article in last Thursday's issue of the University Daily Kansan.
