Other Schools Asked About Traffic Rules
The office of the vice-chancellor of operations made a telephone survey of all Big Eight schools and seven other universities this morning in regard to traffic control and parking regulation and fees.
Vice-Chancellor Keith Lawton said long distance calls were made to the institutions which are of comparable size of KU and have similar parking problems.
There was no immediate conclusion concerning the telephone survey.
Lawton's study was prompted by the Board of Regents' approval Monday of an increase in traffic control and parking permit fees.
AT THE University of Missouri at Columbia, students are required to register their automobiles at a charge of $3.75 a year. The parking permit charge is $2.75 monthly, which means the annual cost is $24.75 a year.
At Kansas State University, the parking fee is $3. Three-thousand permits were issued this year for

Both men were assistant instructors of Spanish at KU.
Edwards was entertaining a group at his apartment at 121 W. 14th street. Escobar was at a party in the adjoining apartment of John Wolf. Edwards called the Wolf apartment to complain about the noise. When the noise did not stop, Edwards took a .38 caliber gun from his bedroom and went to the Wolf apartment.
When Escobar opened the door, the gun went off. Escobar died almost instantly from a bullet wound in the chest.

ASC Passes 2 UP Bills; 3 Defeated Temporarily
University Party met unbending opposition last night to three planks of its platform, but then retaliated by introducing the same, defeated bills as new legislation for the next All Student Council meeting.
By Gary Noland
Two UP bills establishing an evaluation board to investigate the effectiveness of ASC committees and a student leadership program committee to acquaint freshman students with the problems of campus leadership responsibilities passed the council.
THE BILLS CAME UP under old business and were acted upon by the Vox-controlled ASC before the swearing in of new council members.
Three other UP bills, however, were voted down by slim margins after lengthy debate.
The bills, introduced again after the new council members were sworn in, stand a good chance of passing at the next meeting because UP became the majority party in the spring elections, winning eight of the eleven council seats at stake.
UP members of the ASC introduced the party's entire platform as legislation two days before this month's election.
The proposed UP bill to establish a student-teacher evaluation committee was debated for about 45 minutes before it was defeated.
Criticism of the bill was expressed by several Vox people. Reuben McCornack, Abilene senior who last night finished his term as student body president, suggested that an intensive investigation be made to determine if the faculty would favor student evaluation of their teaching methods before establishing the committee.
"It is not relative what the teachers feel; it is what the students want." Walter Bgoyla, Tanganyika junior, replied. If the students want such a committee, then the committee should be formed, he said.
"The faculty must be convinced that we are acting responsibly," McCornack said.

Skies will be partly cloudy and winds from the south will be increasing until evening.
Weather
Temperatures will drop to 40 degrees tonight, but will soar to a high of 80 degrees tomorrow, the Topeka Weather Station predicted today.
Heavy rains will lower the temperatures here this weekend starting either Friday night or Saturday.
junior and the new student body president, said the program would be voluntary on the part of faculty members.
Brian Grace, Lawrence senior, said the idea had been tried before and had failed.
"Because of these failures, we don't know how many teachers want it," Grace said.
Laurence Woodruff, dean of students and faculty advisor to the ASC, was asked to explain how the program was received in the past.
"The faculty received it enthusiastically in the past and some teachers still ask for such evaluations now." Woodruff said.
Woodruff said the program failed in the past because the students failed to see that it was carried out.
THE COUNCIL WAS still reluctant and voted 18-16 against the bill, which was introduced later as legislation for the next meeting.
The council also voted 18-16 against the proposed UP bill to establish an ASC food committee to investigate the procurement, preparation and distribution of food within in KU living groups.
The main criticism of the bill was that there are already agencies in each living group that are capable of handling this problem.
Stewart said the food committee would work with small living districts to organize a cooperative buying plan to cut expenses.
The defeated bill will be taken up again at the next meeting of the council.
The other UP bill defeated by the council would have established a student employment committee to investigate, evaluate and make recommendations concerning employment problems relating to KU students
OPPONENTS OF THE bill argued that this area is handled efficiently by the University Employment Service. The proponents of the bill said there were several organizations attempting to locate employment for students, and that a committee is needed to coordinate the efforts of these organizations.
The bill was defeated, 18-17, when John Stuckey, Pittsburg senior and ASC chairman, voted against the bill to break a 17-17 tie vote by council members.
In other business McCormack swore in Stewart as new student body president, and Kaye Whitaker, Wichita senior, as vice-president.
Stewart then administered the oath to the new council members.
A resolution was passed, requesting Keith Lawton, vice-cancellor of operations, to appear before the ASC at its next meeting and answer questions concerning the recent raise in parking fees and increased restrictions on campus parking. The resolution was introduced by Jim Cline, Rockford, Ill., junior.
"WE HAVE BEEN asking for financial reports from the Traffic and Security office for some time," Grace said. "It is time we get people in charge to answer our questions."
Grace also submitted a resolution directing the ASC publications committee to consult with the Kansan Board and report on financial matter of the University Daily Kansan.
Grace said that after conferring with the managing editor of the UDK, he felt there might be a need for ASC financial assistance to the UDK so the newspaper could provide more news service. Grace did not say exactly how this would be done, but asked for a report from the publication committee on its findings.
Before leaving office, McCornack appointed five delegates to attend a conference in St. Louis, where representatives from several universities will discuss a proposed national student organization to discuss problems challenging the effectiveness of student government.
THE PURPOSE OF the organization would be to promote the exchange of information and ideas between the student governments of colleges and universities.
The five delegates are McCornack,
Stewart, Ray Edwards, Bethesda,
Md., junior; Tom Shumaker, Russell
junior, and Sam Evans, Salina junior.
Nominations were submitted for ASC offices.
Nominees are Mike Miner, Lawrence junior, and Hugh Tavlor, Stoke-on-Trent, England, graduate student, for chairman; Gary Walker, Wichita sophomore, and Shumaker for vice-chairman; Jane Lefebure, Prairie Village junior, and Sandee Garvey, St. Louis, Mo., senior, for secretary, and Leo Schrey J. Leavenworth sophomore, and Ray Myers, Dodge City senior, for treasurer.
Officers will be elected at the next ASC meeting.
STEWART'S FIRST action as student body president was to appoint 41 students to the Student Advisory Board, a board made up of students in all schools of the University who are eligible for the Dean's Honor Roll. The board advises students as a supplement to the faculty advising system.
Stewart announced ASC committee applications committees have been mailed to living groups. Applications are due April 24. Interviews are scheduled April 26 and May 3.
Chase Lauds Lawyer-Legislators
By Lee Stone
More lawyers should enter politics, Harold Chase, lieutenant general of Kansas and candidate for governor, said last night at a meeting of the Chancery Club.
Chase, who is himself a lawyer, told law students that once legislators, who were not lawyers, would make the complaint, "This is a lawyer's bill," when they were confronted with bills they did not like.
Now "the vast majority of legislators really appreciate the contribution the legal profession makes to the orderly process of legislation," Chase said.
CHASE MENTIONED at least two reasons legislators appreciate colleagues trained in law. First, lawyers are usually good at "bill-drafting," that is, the writing of legislation in the proper legal terminology. Those not trained in law are likely to offer bills that sound good, but which are really "pious pronouncements," Chase said.
For example, someone unfamiliar with bill-drafting problems might
p propose a criminal statute that reads: "Unfair methods of competition shall be illegal." Short and direct, and obviously well-meant, such a law would be "vague and unconstitutional." Everyone would disagree about what was "unfair," Chase said.
Second, lawyers are appreciated by state legislators because there are so few of them in the legislature, Chase said.
Of the forty members of the Kansas Senate, only seventeen are lawyers. Chase said. This is "not quite as bad" as in the House, he said. There, 20 out of 125 members are lawyers.
CHASE SAID that in many counties throughout the state, public offices that require the talents of the lawyer "are going begging." In about half the counties, it is so difficult to
Chase called the small number of lawyers in the legislature "a recent development." "Farmers," he said, "have always provided more of our legislators" but, the present situation makes it difficult to staff key committees.
put lawyers in public office that the judges of county probate courts are not required to be lawyers, Chase said.
In an interview after the Chancery Club meeting, Chase spoke about his political career.
"I have not started a formal campaign," Chase said. But, he said, he has been keeping speaking engagements every day. Chase cited a long list of clubs, institutions, and other organizations he spoke to in the past week. Chase explained that "the lieutenant governor has a few duties besides making several discreet and tactful inquiries about the governor's health."
ONE OF HIS duties is to act as chairman of the Interstate Co-operation Committee, a state committee that works with similar committee in other states to enact uniform laws. One success, he and his committee had recently was the adoption of the Uniform Vehicle Safety Equipment Code, he said.
