ASC accepts budget hike for next year
By Sandy Zahradnik Kansan Staff Reporter
In a four hour meeting the All Student Council (ASC) approved a $3,500 budget increase Tuesday night at its final meeting of the year.
The ASC budget last year was $10,234. The new budget totaled $13,741.
This budget must be approved by the state legislature, and will be included in the University budget, Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and the ASC chairman, said.
In other action, the ASC passed a resolution recommending that the University Senate change the University calendar so the Fall semester will end before Christmas vacation.
Also passed were resolutions calling for a revamping of the Council on Student Affairs (COSA), a special election to select a representative from the School of Architecture, and more lighting for the sidewalk behind Blake Hall.
The council also approved the appointments of ASC committee chairmen and members.
On May 7, the University Senate voted to retain the present University calendar structure.
Saying that the Senate approved the calendar with little or no student representation and that students had no chance to offer their opinions on changes as they had in the past, the ASC asked the Senate to reconsider their action.
ASC representatives from the various living districts conducted a poll of these districts within the last week, and the students approved a change by about a two-thirds majority.
According to results of this poll, most students advocated ending the Fall semester before the Christmas vacation.
Changing the University calendar to end the semester before Christmas would mean that the school year would begin around the last week of August, and end around mid-May.
Even if the University Senate decided to change the calendar to comply with the ASC's request, the changes would not take effect until the 1969-70 school year, Bob Stoddard, Shawnee Mission sophomore, college men representative, and initiator of the resolution, said.
In passing the COSA resolution, the ASC said that COSA has often served a dual, and conflicting role with the ASC, and, under current COSA make-up, the student representatives don't necessarily reflect student opinion.
The ASC also charged that the construction and secrecy of COSA have made it an undemocratic body removed from the direct influence of the student body.
The ASC resolution made three distinct requests in its recommendations to revamp COSA:
Student appointments to COSA would be made by the Student Body President approved by a two-thirds majority vote of the ASC.
- The ASC should be empowered to remove from COSA any student representatives provided for in the resolution.
- Proceedings and conclusions of COSA should be made more open to public scrutiny.
The resolution then stated that the student body president should make a report to the ASC of the proceedings and conclusions of COSA at the next ASC meeting following each COSA meeting. It also requested that the agenda of COSA be made available to the ASC so the council could collect student opinion on the scheduled topics.
The ASC passed a resolution which resolved that the ASC elect an ex-officio member from the newly established School of Architecture to serve until the Fall election of freshman representatives. At that time, the ASC elec-

Cheating indicated in Anthropology I
Students may have cheated on the second Anthropology I exam, according to William M. Bass, KU professor of anthropology.
Bass had heard rumors that a janitor had been bribed to take the second exam from his office. He kept the third exam with him, and then found his office ransacked early last week before the exam.
Bass received several phone calls Tuesday night and Wednesday morning last week from students who said they could not take the exam for various reasons. Those students received zeros unless they were patients at Watkins Hospital. "Grades were considerably lower on the third exam," Bass said.
Bass contacted Harry M. Buchholz, physical plant superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and asked him to look into the incident.
"I'm definitely going to incorporate the pledge again." Bass said. "I feel the average student would not cheat if he had signed such a pledge," he said.
If Bass does not hear from Buchholz soon, he said he will notify the police.
In the past Bass has required every student taking his exams to sign an honor pledge that they had not cheated on the exam. He did not do that this semester.
"It distresses me that people have to resort to locking everything up." Bass said. "It's too bad that there are always a few who have to make things difficult. It does please me, though, that many of my anthropology students have expressed their regrets for what has happened."
