Action Announces First Party Platform
I. INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP
Action affirms that student government can function in the best interests of the student community, only if the student political parties are in a manner consistent with their party platforms.
In the interest of more responsible student government, Action calls for the ordeal to be organized on the basis of individual membership opposed to the system of block membership.
II. STUDENT SEATING PLAN
2500 students signed a petition in the spring semester of 1961 demanding a referendum on the student seating plan. Act one sees students lining up specifically states that if twenty per cent of the body学生 petitions for a referendum, the All Student Council shall set a date for the referendum on three weeks of the receipt of such petition.
III. DISCRIMINATORY CLAUSES
In order to effectively support the University's anti-discrimination policy, as presupposed by the presupposus housing, Action urges that the All Student Council and the Faculty Senate support the withdrawal of the privilege from student living group which, according to their constitutions and by-laws, discriminates on the antiquated bases of race, color or national origin with exception of those groups primarily religious in purpose.
However, we feel that no student living at a school would be a member. This would be just as inconsistent with the standards of a free school, race, color, religion, or national origin.
IV. FACULTY SENATE
The faculty are the life blood of any University. However, at the University of Kansas the Faculty have little or no importance in important matters of University policy.
Therefore, be it resolved, that a bill immediately be introduced in the All Student Council to withdraw University recognition from those student living abroad, to be discriminatory clauses in their constitutions or by-laws by September 1, 1965.
V. NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION EVENTS AND PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE
Because the Faculty are closer to the students, and therefore are more aware of the trends of student thought, Action Research and the Chancellor grant the Faculty Send the power to set University policy in areas which directly concern the students.
Realizing that the United States National Student Association is the only organization for the students of the United States both domestically and internationally, we believe that Associated Students of the University cannot not be denied a voice in this organization.
In the area of national and international community are many. Often the accomplishments are few and can only be fulfilment combined efforts of several organizations
VI. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES
Therefore, while supporting the Current Events Committee and People-to-People, Action urges the All Student Council to urge the associated students of the University of Kansas with the United States National Student Association.
There is growing awareness among college students that they cannot divorce themselves from national and international events. The only student organization in Kansas which is authorized to speak for the students is the All Student Council.
Action firmly believes that the All Student Council must broaden its vision, discuss important national and international issues, and formulate opinions to be sent to the proper agencies of our country. The Student Council through this direct method can we hope to make our views known on the vital issues which face our society.
VII. STUDENT NON-VIOLENT CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE
The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee is coordinating activities in Alabama and Mississippi to register Negro voters who have been denied their vote. To vote through the use of poll taxes, the misuse of literacy tests, and coercion.
It is our duty to guarantee that no nicol-
tes United States be denied the right to vote.
Action feels that these students deserve our moral and financial support. They may be paid for or for their operating expenses, i.e., traveling rates, bail, lawyer's fees, and doctor bills.
Action will conduct a campus-wide contribution campaign in April in behalf of the selected funds will be sent to the Southern Freedom Fund in Philadelphia.
VIIL IN LOCO PARENTIS
In the absence of a precisely defined relationship between the student and the University, there exists the traditional relationship summarized in the words, in loco parents, in lieu of parents. The theory establishes the University as a pluralistic institute in calling the moral, intellectual, and social standards of the students.
Believing that academic freedom and freedom of association are indispensible to the concept of a free university, we oppose the following:
- Arbitrary expulsion of students
dividualism are necessary to prevent our society from becoming stagnant.
Having been informed that the Kansas Union is operated for the benefit of the students, the following questions come to mind:
IX. STUDENT UNION
- Unnecessary social regulations
- Why is it more expensive to eat at the Union than at various privately operated, profit making restaurants near the campus?
- Censorship of the campus newspaper
In loco parens induces and reinforces
cognitive flexibility, whose critical talent and imaginative in-
- Why doesn't the Union believe that the campus needs a good 50 cup of coffee.
- Why doesn't the Union publish a complete financial statement annually?
L. HOUSE COMMITTEE ON UN- AMERICAN ACTIVITIES
The practices of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) have violated the principles of freedom of access to information and opinion on politics and public policy in society. In actuality investigations by this committee have thwarted the freedoms which they claim to protect and preserve —freedom of speech, of the press, and of
Moreover, it has directly and indirectly encroached upon the academic freedom of students, and it has conditioned individuals to an unnecessary fear of controversy and has threatened the vigor of free institutions which our democratic social order depends.
This organ of Congress has usurped the legal powers of the Executive and Judiciary, which in the appellation of criminals is a function which properly belongs to the executive branch, specifically to the FBI. The official purpose of apprehending innocence is the function of the courts.
- Cease its practice of guilt by association.
- Action demands that this committee be thoroughly reformed as follows:
- Adopt the Anglo-Saxon tradition of
    a innocent until proven guilty,
    not vice versa
- Allow each witness to confront his accused through the process of cross-examination.
- Quit denying the Constitutional guarantees of the first and fifth amendments, those who hold unpopular opinions, through the method of contempt of Congress.
Action urges the ASC to pass a resolution that mandates the forms and that copies of it be sent to our Congressmen, the HCUA, the Attorney General, and the President of the United States.
XL. AWS—PEP CLURS
Action proposes that, in order for the All Student Council to distribute its limited budget in more academic and intellectually stimulating pursuits, both the Women's Students and the KU Pep Club should be involved from the University and not from the AFS.
Action suggests that the funds which the school provides for Pep Club activities be used for an expanded budget for the Current Events National Student Association projects.
XII. HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE
The Human Rights Committee is finally a functioning committee of the All Student Council. After months of inactivity the team has been prodded into the role of an integral member.
Its plan to conduct a scientific poll of the students in relation to their attitudes on discriminatory clauses is certainly a step forward.
Action urges that no All Student Council district be without a representative.
Action supports the Human Rights Committee and will continue in its support as long as the committee performs all of investigating racial and religious discrimination wherever it exists together with other violations of human rights.

Official Urges Friendliness
An education official in the U.S. State Department said Saturday night that good personal relationships are the important factors in educating the foreign students in U.S. universities.
The official, Philip Ireland, chief of American-sponsored Education Institutions Abroad, spoke at the Arab-American Club banquet held at the Plymouth Congregational church.
"While they are here, foreign students are impressed most by the people they meet," Mr. Ireland said. "These impressions usually last longer than the impressions they receive in the classroom."
HE SAID THAT all Americans must have a sincere desire to extend their friendship to the foreign student.
"The United States has been accused of being a very materialistic nation," he said. "It is our responsibility to show the foreign students that accusation is a myth."
Mr. Ireland said his institution is doing several things to improve foreign student personal relationships.
"WE ARE TRYING to strengthen our foreign student advisory services," he said. "We are also trying to set up a program to insure foreign students of summer jobs.
"The typical American university has a program that exists for the American student who has lived here all his life, attended school here and will remain here after graduation."
