ASC approves new ruling
By RICHARD LOUV Kansan Staff Writer
A resolution was passed last night by the All-Student Council (ASC) which will allow sophomores to run for Student Senate positions from Colleges-within-the-College even
though the candidate transfers schools the next year.
The resolution provided that the student running for a representative position from a school must be from that school at the time of the election. A sophomore presently enrolled in
a College-within-the-college, but planning to enter the School of Education, or any other school within the University, would run from his present College-withinthe-College.
Other election procedures were decided by the ASC. A student wishing to run for a
Senate position must obtain proof from the dean's office of the college from which he is running that he is a member of that college. Also he must post a $5 election fee.
"The election fee is to be used to pay for balloting, since the ASC has no money to finance it," said Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and ASC chairman.

form a standard procedure to be followed, von Ende said.
The student wishing to run for election must indicate his coalition or party, if any. The election fee and signed statement from his college dean's office must be filed with ASC secretary Carol Leek, Fort Scott junior, or von Ende.
TOPEKA (UPI) - House Republicans were presented Tuesday with alternate proposals for raising about $30 million in new revenues to finance increased school aid and other programs.
Candidates for president and vice president of the student body who have not attended ASC this year must have a petition signed with at least 500 names. In case either the presidential or vice presidential candidate of a coalition has not attended ASC meetings, a 500-name petition must be filed.
The proposals were discussed during a caucus.
The speaker of the house, Rep. Calvin A. Strowig, R-Abilene, would not specify what the alternatives were.
Strowig said, however, the house majority agrees there is a need for an increase in state school aid. The aid should cover at least 40 per cent of operating expenses, he added. The level is currently about 32 per cent. To close the gap would take an additional appropriation of $26 million for fiscal 1970.
would be supported unless measures were found to raise the additional money needed.
And if any tax reform or tax increase were supported, he said, it would not be supported unless it were for a specific purpose.
It was discussed whether the individual college should determine its election rules, but with time available to set up those rules. The ASC decided to
The speaker emphasized, however, that no increase bill
Strowig said he might have an announcement later this week on a program for raising the revenue but first wanted to receive reports from the district caucuses also held Tuesday.
The Republican leader said if the $30 million in new revenues could be found, it might go for increased school aid, a state property tax relief fund for a homestead exemption, and state employee salaries.
