UP Heads Attempt Plank Clarification
University Party officials Tuesday attempted to clarify the plank in the UP platform calling for the formation of a Midwest Student Government Association.
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior, and UP candidate for student body president, said the proposed association would embrace schools of the Big 10, but would not involve KU's joining the Big 10 Student Government Association.
According to Whitman's interpretation, the plank does not advocate the formation of a student government league. It involves an exchange of ideas for improving student government, services to students, organization of student government and dealing with problems such as student apathy.
WHITMAN SAID the organization, as envisioned by him, would be composed of schools the size of KU, primarily state schools. It would meet yearly, every two years or every four years, depending on how it is received and the needs of the member schools.
The UP candidate said the Big Eight Student Government Association is limited and needs a wider field of contact. He said the proposed organization was worth investigating, adding that UP would try to implement the association after he spring election.
Charles Patterson, Rockford, Ill., senior, and UP platform committee chairman, said the plank was presented in general terms so that the proposed organization could include schools from many conferences.
Patterson mentioned Big 10 and Southwest Conference schools as possible members of the association.
"JEALOUSY" on the part of other schools in the Big Eight Student Government Association of KU's leadership was the reason he cited as a need for the proposed organization.
"We have the lead in the Big Eight," he said. "We need to broaden ourselves through communication with schools who have met and solved the problems we are faced with. We need to exchange ideas." Patterson said the association would operate entirely for the benefit of student councils, and would not be concerned with other collegiate organizations or activities.
Art Museum To Show Films
Three films depicting modern design in various forms of art will be shown at 7.30 and 9 p.m. Thursday in the lecture hall of the Museum of Art.
The films are entitled "Glass," "Danish Design" and "World of Mosaic."
The film, "Glass," depicts the Royal Leerdam glass factory in Holland. It contrasts the refinement of the work of hands of man with the uniformity of machine's work.
"DANISH DESIGN shows the individual operations involved in the making of a chair by a skilled craftsman. Throughout the film, old prints will be alternated with pictures of modern factory production and homes to show how ancient craft traditions have endured in Danish design, and how the simplicity of the country's rural culture is found in today's industrial craftsmanship.
"World of Mosaic" explores the art of mosaic through every major civilization. From Sumerian, Greek and Roman through Byzantine and Aztec, the evolution of mosaic is shown moving toward the present renaissance in Mexico and the United States.
AS A HIGHLIGHT it shows one of America's mosaic muralists, Joseph Young, creating the mosaic in the Los Angeles Police Building.
Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of art history and director of the KU Museum of Art, considers these films to be outstanding on modern art design. Also, she feels that the films would be of value to persons interested in documentary techniques of film making.
