Ten World Crisis Discussion Groups Organize This Week
Ten discussion groups to discuss matters concerning key national and international topics are being formed on campus.
Melvin Painter, Lawrence graduate student and one of the organizers of the discussions, said that the groups will be coordinated by a larger body, the World Crisis Discussion Group.
The group, which is still in the organizational stage, plans to hold meetings this week to discuss the permanent organization of the various individual groups.

Art Termed Style Search
A nationally-known sculptor visiting KU said Friday that abstract art is "a process of searching, finding a style. It is a very personal, a very private and a very lonely process.
Seymour Lipton, New York sculptor, was speaking to KU students and members of the National Sculpture Casting conference in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Speaking of problems faced by young artists, Lipton said;
"If the artist has sufficient courage and will, he manages to work out some means of fulfilling himself. But to fulfill himself, he must find himself."
The big problem, Lipton says, is to be able "to appraise what happens during the process of trial and error. The artist must be able to exploit a chance incident. If you can pick up something which has no meaning, and give it life, you are creating life."
According to Lipton, the beginning of technique is more or less imitation, but this imitation can lead to a "sameness." Students learn how to copy proficiently and sometimes become unable to create effectively. Technique, he said, is not creativity.
Lipton judged the exhibition of sculpture in Murphy Hall. He said that he detected sameness in the work on display there, as well as evidence of imitation of older artists.

Class Officers Want Class Unification
Class officers and candidates for class offices met yesterday afternoon and decided to propose to the All Student Council an establishment of underclass councils and the appropriation of class funds for operational costs.
The class councils would consist of representatives elected from living groups. The proposal would call for an amendment to the All Student Council constitution saying that only the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer will be elected from each class.
THE SENIOR CLASS will retain its committee system because it has already proved itself effective. Each committee is assigned a special task such as the class ring or the class gift.
The group stressed the need for adequate funds in order for the classes to carry out activities.
The councils will be established so that there will be more individual living group representation in planning and informing students of class activities.
Gerald (Kep) Kepner, junior class president, said the junior class went $36 into the red for a class function this fall, and Bob Stewart, freshman class president, said his class lost six dollars on a TGF party.
THE MEETING WAS organized by Stewart to discuss the role of class officers. Two alternatives were discussed, the abolishment of officers and the delegation of defined responsibility and financial backing.
The group said it would meet again after the election of class officers and then make proposals at the first ASC meeting, if a business session is held. There is one ASC meeting remaining after spring elections and that is an induction ceremony for new officers.
The group concurred that the main problem lies in the freshman class. If unity is built there, it is felt that it will carry through for four years.
THE FRESHMAN CLASS recently attempted a Friday afternoon TGIF but received only a small attendance.
Marilyn Huff, freshman treasurer,
said that freshman girls are interested in upperclass men, sororities,
adapting to a new idea of studying
and are not interested in unification.
She suggested a junior-freshman party.
Max Logan, candidate for junior class president, said that the freshman males would not be interested in meeting junior women. He said, however, that some class organization was needed so that members of the classes can meet.
