THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
7
Student letter-
Continued from page 1
therefore the administration finds it exceedingly difficult to fit into its decision the contributions of such individuals.
"From these remarks, it is clear that the students do not have and are not intended to have an effective voice on all those matters affecting their lives. Therefore we demand that Cancellor Wesco publicy repudiate the above position as outlined and stated by Dean Heller.
"As evidence of the administration's intention to insure that the University is "here for the students," we further demand that Chancellor Wescoe publicly announce that he will attend the next meeting of the Faculty Senate May 7 and introduce for immediate enactment the following proposal:
"By yourself you are only one, but together with other students you are 15,000," reads a leaflet announcing the student fund drive for the Lawrence Day Camp.
"That students be allotted 50 per cent representation on all faculty and administrative committees dealing with student affairs and that these representatives be elected democratically by the student body at large.
The drive, which begins today, asks for $1 or more from each student to help support the 10-week day camp program for more than 200 Lawrence youngsters from low-income families. The money raised will also help provide teen-agers from low-income families with over 60 counseling and aid jobs in connection with the day camp.
"We demand that your response and guarantees of an institutionalized student voice be announced in the University Daily Kansan by Thursday, May 2.
"This public statement must include Chancellor Wescoe's pronouncement that the ASC is no longer subject to external veto.
Student volunteers will solicit in each of the living groups, and contributions will also be received at a collection table in the Kansas Union and in front of Watson Library.
"Together we can do something concrete and immediate to alleviate some of the conditions of poverty in Lawrence," reads the leaflet. A black hand interlocking with a white hand is the symbol of the student money-raising project, and a small card with this symbol will be given to each contributor.
Fund-raising for day camp begins today
Harrington said members of "Voice" have not decided what they will do if Wescoe does not meet their demands. He said they have taken a wait-and-see stance.
Contributions are still coming in for a faculty-sponsored drive, which is aiming at $7,500, and a two-week-old downtown drive, which is nearly completed.
A veil of secrecy surrounds the untimely end of the McCollumto-Hashinger telephone marathon which stopped Thursday after more than 70 hours.
Phone marathon ends in cloud of secrecy
The reasons for ending the marathon are known only to the persons who organized it. Several different rumors have circulated through McCollum, but none of the persons involved would comment.
Emery Goad, Junction City senior and McCollum Hall men's president, said the persons who conducted the marathon have decided not to comment because "someone would lose face over the incident."
Merry Sue Clark, Wichita junior and the organizer of the marathon in Hashinger Hall, said she could not comment.
When asked why the marathon stopped, Goad said only, "No comment."
mire, Shawnee Mission sophomore, quit talking--33 hours short of his 120-hour goal.
Goad said the marathon "died"
about two hours after Harold Fos-
