Fifty KU students auditioned Sunday in Murphy Hall for a chance to perform in Southwestern Bell's television presentation, "Campus Talent '67."
"CAMPUS TALENT '67" will be shown in May and again next summer.
Of that number probably only three will be chosen, according to John Stainbrook, director of the program for Kansas. The hourlong presentation, due for filming early in April, probably will include 13 performers to be chosen from 23 Kansas colleges and universities, he said.

"It is," he said, "probably the best on the whole Kansas scene."

Brooks said in a phone conversation. Wednesday, that he is interested in several KU drama students and some faculty members.

Brooks, who was here in November, said he is looking forward to returning to the campus.
Brooks has directed several major motion pictures in the last few years, including "Blackboard Jungle," "Sweet Bird of Youth," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Professionals," and the Academy Award-winning "Elmer Gantry."

ASC revamp meets critic
By JOHN MARSHALL
There has been a small earthquake in the political world at KU.
Last Thursday night, Al Martin, Shawnee Mission junior and Student Body President, and Jim Prager, Fullerton, Calif., senior and chairman of the All Student Council (ASC) drew up a proposal for the reorganization of the ASC and submitted it to Council members at the 1st annual All Student Council Banquet.
This weekend, opposition to this proposal was expressed.
IT IS NOW an issue which should be brought to the students' attention.
Martin believes that the structure of student government is in need of change. He proposes that the representational system as it now exists be reviewed by the students.
"We feel that the following system of government that we have outlined in our proposal will greatly improve the effectiveness of the All Student Council," Martin said.
UNFORTUNATELY, Martin added, the constitution of the ASC cannot be amended by the students themselves, in the form of a petition.
The proposal will be introduced at the ASC meeting this Tuesday night at 7 in the Cottonwood Room of the Kansas Union.
"Therefore," Martin added, "Jim and I hope that the ASC, when considering our suggestion, will decide to put this proposal on the ballot in the next general election."
Under this proposal, the ASC will consist of 10 school representatives, plus each of the four class presidents as voting members. The functions of the Student Body President and VicePresident will remain the same.
According to Martin and Prager, this would mean that there would be one election instead of two each year, and the "voting procedure would be greatly simplified by eliminating the Hare system (proportional representation).
"The ADVANTAGES of this proposal are manifold." Prager said. "The present structure of student government is obsolete on our campus."
Prager added that our student government system has been patterned after national government and does not play a proper role at our University.
"... We are in favor of students retaining control of student government . . .", the opposition begins, "... this proposal of a smaller Council is specifically designed to work more closely with the administration than ever before..."
The opposition added, "We feel, that if anything, the Council Continued on page 3.

Opportunity galore
Too few grads to fill jobs
By RICHARD LUNDQUIST
More jobs than there were people to fill them. That's the problem that KU placement directors had with January graduates.
The problem for most fall graduates was choosing which job opportunity best fitted their individual needs.
"It seems to me that there are about two jobs for everyone who applies," Howard Mossberg, dean of the pharmacy school, said.
MOSSBERG SAID FOUR PEOPLE graduated from the pharmacy school first semester and that they all had a good choice of jobs. His major concern was trying to satisfy the companies that came to him looking for help.
A similar situation is seen in the College of Liberal Arts. There, Mrs. Gladys Padget is in charge of placement.
Mrs. Padget said, "We have more companies come to us looking for employees than we do students looking for jobs."
MOST GRADUATING SENIORS generally go on to graduate school, she said. This would account for the large number of jobs available
for those who want to work after their undergraduate study.
The fact that a student graduates after the fall semester does not appear to hurt his job-hunting chances. In some cases it may even help, pointed out William Kelly, associate dean of the law school.
Kelly said those who graduate in the fall semester can take the bar exam in February.
"LAW FIRMS DONT THINK in terms of placement as many other businesses do," said Kelly. It is more of an individual matter, since law firms generally do little heavy recruiting.
Despite this, Kelly is able to point to a large stack of letters on his desk inquiring about graduates. The job choices are many and varied, he said.
Out of the 11 law students who graduated this past semester, only one or two are still looking for jobs. If a student does not immediately get a job, it is usually because he is not satisfied with the geographical location or with some other similar factor, Kelly noted.
