ASC: new amendments despite low attendance
The All Student Council (ASC) voted Tuesday night to provide for the election of three holdover representatives from the present ASC to serve an additional one-year term.
This amendment to the ASC constitution must be approved by a vote of the student body in the spring elections.
"If it is passed, the amendment would insure that outstanding members of ASC are brought
back into the newly - elected council to lend direction and continuity," said Rick von Ende, Abilene graduate student and chairman of the committee which introduced the amendment.
"It would also be a reward and incentive for the members of the council," he added.
Each holdover representative would have an at-large constituency, and would not be considered the representative of any of the nine academic schools or ten student living districts.
ASC would therefore consist of the representatives elected by the students for the academic schools and living districts, as well as three representatives chosen by the ASC from the existing membership.
Grad. theater is often 'misguided'
The director of graduate studies in the theater at Indiana University says theater courses should not only "train students to do something," but also offer them
Meeting previews upperclass life
A symposium designed to introduce freshman women to life in upperclass living groups was held at 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Monday in Corbin and Oliver residence halls.
Barbara Newsom, Wichita junior, represented sororities; Merry Sue Clark, Wichita junior, represented the women's residence halls; and Sheryl Rickard, Lyons junior, represented the scholarship halls. Emily Taylor, dean of women, was the moderator.
The symposium will be held again at 10:30 p.m. next Monday at Gertrude Sellards Pearson freshman residence hall.
alternatives to a problem and equip them to make an appropriate choice.
O. G. Brockett, speaking on "Problems of Graduate Study in Theater" for the KU Theatre Research Colloquium, told 50 persons Tuesday in Murphy Hall that many graduate programs are misguided.
"People haven't been allowed to really specialize," he said. "They are told they can't advance unless they write a thesis. I feel that if you hire a man to direct and he proves to be a good director, he deserves all the credit you can give him. It doesn't matter whether or not he has a philosophy on the history of the theater."
Brockett, who has edited the American Education Theater Journal and written a book, "Theater: An Introduction," talked Monday and Tuesday with teachers and students in the department of speech and drama about the KU graduate programs.
ASC members also passed action concerning justices on the student court and their appointment, terms of office, and removal from office. The council voted that the seven justices on the student court will be chosen from members of the school of law.
Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village sophomore, raised strong objections to this action, saying that qualified persons for the position of justice might not be considered since they weren't in the school of law.
In other action, ASC members tabled an amendment to allow students who have served on certain ASC committees to run for student body president and vice-president.
A bill to establish a fair housing committee also was tabled because the council decided it needed considerable re-writing.
ASC attendance has dropped during the past month. If one more ASC member had decided not to come to Tuesday's meeting, there would not have been a quorum and no official business could have been conducted.
Only 18 of the council's 34 voting members were present. Twenty-five members attended the March 5 meeting; 23 were at the Feb. 27 meeting.
Although the downward swing in attendance partly can be excused because of mid-semester exams, the council was urged to encourage absent members to attend.
