OFFICERS EXAMINE CONSTITUTION—Brian O'Heron, Torrington, Conn., senior and temporary president of Action, explains part of the party's constitution to Harold Johnson, Leavenworth senior and temporary vice president of the party.
New Party Elects Temporary Staff
Action. KU's proposed third political party, elected temporary officers and drafted a tentative constitution last night.
The temporary officers are president, Brian O'Heron, Lawrence senior; vice president, Harold Johnson, Ft. Leavenworth senior; treasurer, Robert Bosseau, Pittsburg junior; press secretary, Arthur Miller, Pittsburg junior.
About 15 students attended the closed meeting. This is said to be the last closed meeting.
Miller explained that these officers are subject to approval by the party's general assembly when it is organized.
Miller said:
Miller explained that the general assembly "can be called to elect
"This party has been formed because present channels of student action are impassable. The present parties have lost contact with the sentiments of the University population.
"Controversial issues should be voiced within the All Student Council—regardless of pressure from the administration, living groups, political parties, or other organizations."
The general assembly will be organized when the group becomes an official political party. In order to do this, they must submit a petition to the All Student Council signed by 10 per cent of the student body (1,000 students).
Miller said the constitution will also be subject to ratification and amendment by the general assembly.
"This is only the base of our constitution," Miller said. He explained that representation in the parliament is from every voting district, rather than just the living districts.
The temporary constitution calls for a general assembly to be made up of all members of the party: a parliament made up of one member each from the various ASC voting districts, 10 members elected at large by the general assembly, and the officers of the party, and a cabinet made up of the officers.
The general assembly is to be called twice a year, once in September and once in February, and at other times when the parliament judges a meeting necessary.
"If the general assembly members feel that they are not getting the representation which they deserve from a parliament member, they may recall him by a 30 per cent vote."
officers and vote on certain other consequential issues.
In discussing the individual membership idea as opposed to the block system now being used by Vox Populi and the University Party, Miller said that the party would have the individual membership, subject to change by the general assembly.
Indications were for some snow in the Northwest and rain over the eastern half of Kansas tomorrow. Cloudy skies were expected to prevail for the next two days.
TOPEKA — (UPI) — An Arctic front bearing down across Montana this morning promised to bring a return of winter to Kansas.

Model United Nations Blocs Hold Elections
Highs today were expected to range from 40s East to 50s West. Lows tonight generally in the lower 30s.
The bloc delegations of the Model United Nations met last night in the Kansas Union to elect delegation officers.
The Steering Committee also met and announced that it has invited the Pakistani ambassador to the UN, Sir Mohammed Zaferulla Khan, as the guest speaker for the opening session.
The UN ambassador is a former justice of the International Court at The Hague, a former justice of the Pakistani Supreme Court and is a former foreign minister of Pakistan.
THE STEERING Committee held bloc reports and then discussed
proposals for a third resolution.
The Soviet, African, Arab and five members of the Latin American bloc signed a petition asking the University Daily Kansan for better press coverage. The Latin American and the Western blocs closed their meetings to the press last night.
The petition stated that the Kansan is giving the Model UN a "poor image" by reporting espionage activities instead of the many hours of physical and mental work that are involved.
THE PETITION ASKED for better coverage from the Kansan so that
Dorms to Provide Three-Man Rooms
Three KU men's residence halls will provide a total of 150 rooms for triple occupancy next semester, Donald K. Alderson, dead of men, said yesterday.
The three halls—Templin, J. R.
Pearson and Carnrith-O'Leary—presently provide rooms only for double occupancy.
In a brief survey this morning of students living in dormitories, seven out of seven men interviewed did not think the new system would be satisfactory.
DEAN ALDERSON SAID that Templin and J. R. Pearson will have 60 rooms equipped for three men next semester. Carruth-O'Leary will have 30 rooms available for triple occupancy.
The three-man rooms will be scattered through the Halls, he said. There will be five new residents to each wing of each dormitory.
"If the administration makes certain modifications it will be all right. If three fellows that are
Bill Jennings, Memphis, Tenn. senior, said, "I can see they need the room, but I think the administration should charge less for those living in the triple rooms."
Bob Perkins, Joplin, Mo., senior said:
Jim Jupe, Phillipsburg graduate student, said, "I'm not too concerned, but I think it is rather unfair. But then, it is probably necessary."
"I do not think it will hurt studying, but I am against three men living in a room."
Irving Karten, Forest Hills, N.Y graduate student added:
friends live in a room it will be all right, but if they are not it might present a problem."
Jerry Ray Clawson, Linneus, Mo. junior, said, "It's hard enough to study with two in a room, let alone three."
Austin Wallack, Larned freshman:
"The rooms are not big enough for three people. It would make study conditions worse."
Bill Rosenkranz, Washington sophomore, said, "People have enough trouble studying with two in a room, let alone three. I'm moving out, anyway."
Dean Alderson said the decision to provide the three-man rooms was not an "overnight decision" by KU housing officials.
"It is inevitable that our resi der halls house more men," he said. Residence halls are just like classrooms or the library; there are simply too many students for the amount of space."
Dean Alderson said that in the early 1940's. University housing projects at times were housing 20 or 30 more men than they normally had room for.
"This presented crowded situations, but the men always seemed to get along," he said.
HE SAID THAT Hashinger Hall, KU's newest dormitory, will house women next fall. The next dormitory—for which bids will be taken Mar. 15—will house men, he said, but that dormitory may not be completed until 1963 or 1964.
Dean Alderson said the same price for room and board will be charged men in rooms of triple occupancy as will be charged those

KU students will be better informed and better able to participate in the project.
