Unicycling Student Avoids Hill Traffic
By Ron Wilcox
There are many means of transportation used at KU. Students use bicycles, motor scooters, and cars to get from one place to another.
A KU student has found a way to beat the traffic congestion between classes. He does not ride a bicycle or motor scooter or drive a car—he rides a unicycle.
Don Homrighausen, Paola senior, has mastered the art of riding a unicycle after months of practice. A unicycle consists of one wheel,
one seat, and two pedals. Perfect balance is required to keep the machine upright.
Homrighausen has been riding the one-wheeled bike for over a year and a half. He learned on a friend's bike and after a couple of months he got one of his own.
HOMRIGHHAUSEN SAID the rare bike costs around $60. The reason for the high price, he said, is that they are hand-made.
The hardest thing to learn, he said,
is to keep balance. Contrary to a bicycle,
there are two more way to fall.
Homrighausen said it takes more practice to learn to handle a unicycle than a bicycle.
"UNLIKE A BICYCLE, you can't coast—you have to pedal all the time," he said.
"It takes at least two weeks to get the feel of it," he said. "Patience is the most important thing during this period.
Homrighausen receives some amusing comments because of his unique transportation. People often yell "Where are the handle bars?" or "Lost part of your bicycle?"
One of the hardest things to do is to ride up hills. "If you hit the smallest bump it will spill you," he said.
Homrighausen, on rare occasions, can jump curbs, although he does not recommend it for beginners.
HE SAID MANY PEOPLE try to persuade him to let them try to ride the unicycle.
"Many people say they can operate a pogo stick and think a unicycle would be easy to ride," he said. "They sure have a big surprise when they get on it."
Homrighausen does not rely entirely on the unicycle for transportation. He also owns a car.
ASC Reconsider—
UNICYCLING—Don Homrighausen drives to class.

legislation which would bring the present practices of the Court more strictly in line with the ASC Constitution.
THE CONSTITUTION states that if a student wishes to appeal a case from the lowest level, a three man court, it is taken directly to the disciplinary committee of the University.
Jones said that there has been an intermediate step included which provides the student with an additional source to which a case can be appealed. Present procedure is for a case appealed from the lower court to be heard by the full sevenjustice court and then, if desired, appealed to the disciplinary committee.
A second suggestion by Jones was that the present method of selection of the chief justice and the six associate justices be incorporated into the constitution.
The constitution provides for the chief justice to be appointed by the student body president and for the associate justices to be chosen by the president in consultation with a Faculty Advisory Committee.
JONES EXPLAINED that, as it now works, the chief justice is appointed by the dean of the law school and that these two then select the associate justices.
Jones mentioned that the faculty group is non-existent and that the present system is best since it keeps the responsibility of choice within the law school by the people who have the best opportunity to make the best selections.
Jones suggested a third change in the constitution which would eliminate the statement that there must always be both males and females on the Court. He said there are times when a female is not available or does not wish to serve on the Court and that this regulation can therefore not be satisfied.
Hollace Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission sophomore, argued that the position of a candidate's name on the ballot could conceivably influence the outcome of the election.
The pair stated that it has been shown that five per cent of the voters in elections will cast their ballot for the person whose name appears first.
THE COUNCIL ALSO discussed the form of the ballots for the coming campus election.
In a brief meeting of the elections committee following the council session the problem was debated but no decision was reached. Saferstein said a decision would be made Monday.
Saferstein explained that there would be a large cost increase in implementing such a system and that the time element in counting the ballots would possibly be doubled.
The Senate's Statement
THUS THEY FEEL that there should be a rotation of the names on the ballot to equalize any such chance.

Ad Day Today
The KU chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity, is sponsoring Advertising Day on campus today.
1. We believe that the presence, in the constitution of a national fraternity or sorority, of a discriminatory clause based upon race, color, religion, or national origin — except for a religious clause in the case of a group primarily religious in purpose — is both ethically wrong and also incompatible with the status of the local chapter as a living group enjoying recognition by the University of Kansas.
3. We note with satisfaction that during the last two decades the policies and practices of fraternity and sorority chapters at the University of Kansas have been gradually changing for the better in several respects, including the selection of members from an increasingly wide range of diversity of social and economic backgrounds.
Folger's Coffee Co. of Kansas City will present the program. Open House will be from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
2. IN VIEW OF THE FACT that at present none of the sororites and only three of the fraternities represented at the University of Kansas have such a clause in their constitutions, and that in these instances the local chapter has the right to waive the clause if it so desires, we believe the problem created by these clauses to be far less significant than the actual practice of local chapters, especially since it is obvious that the absence of a discriminatory clause in the constitution of a national organization cannot insure non-discriminatory practice on the local level.
4. We desire strongly to recommend and encourage the acceleration of the trend noted in the preceding section, and its extension toward inclusion in fraternities and sororites of members of diverse racial, national, and religious groups. We are of the opinion, however, that this result is not likely to be attained by University mandate, but can come about only through action initiated by the chapters themselves.
5. SINCE FRATERNITY and sorority chapters are essentially social groups, we believe that the freedom of their members to select for future membership only those individual students with whom they desire to be closely associated should not be infringed upon by the University.
6. For the same reason, we seriously doubt the wisdom or desirability of direct or indirect participation by the University, in any manner or through any of its agencies, in the process of selection or pledging of prospective members by fraternities or sororities.
7. We commend the publicly expressed position of Chancellor Wescoe with respect to the problem posed by the existence of discriminatory clauses.

Business School Receives $70,000
A $70,700 grant by the Ford Foundation to the School of Business will establish a summer institute to help close the gap between the development of modern mathematics and its application to the business world.
"We consider this grant a great contribution toward assurance that collegiate education for business in this area will be kept abreast of the newest application of mathematics to business administration." James R. Surface, dean of the school of business, said.
Ten other universities will cooperate in the study. They are Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Creighton, St. Louis and Washington.
Each of the ten schools will send four members of its business faculty to an eight-week summer institute on the KU campus in 1963. During the institute they will be instructed by a faculty of mathematicians.
