Referendum-
(Continued from page 1)
The motion passed 4-0.
StudEx gave three reasons why the referendum should be postponed.
- The time element which is insufficient to inform the student body of all the ramifications of the question.
- The fact the printers need the ballots today to be ready in time for the elections.
- The fact that the legislature has not yet acted on the pending bill to abolish the use of student fees to finance school buildings.
Bob Montgomery, Topeka second year law student and counsel for Beck, argued that Miller was following article 3 section 6 of a May 1969 resolution to the Student Code which stated, "The Elections Committee of the Student Senate shall establish the dates and administer the foregoing elections and is empowered to decide disputes therefrom, subject to Appeal of the Student Senate."
Steve Joseph, Wichita first year law student and counsel for StudEx, said the Student Senate on March 4, gave StudEx the authority to rule on referendums in today's election.
Joseph asked Awbrey to read article IV of the October, 1969
16 KANSAN Mar. 17 1970
Student Senate By-Laws which stated that, "Referendum proceedings shall be begun upon receipt of 10 per cent or more of the members of the Associated Students by the secretary of the Student Senate which requests that any legislative bill or part thereof of the Student Senate be submitted to the vote of all members of the associated students."
"The Student Senate shall prescribe a time and manner for such voting of the Associated Students, provided that such time of voting shall be not more than three weeks after receipt of such petition for referendum."
Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president, was placed under contempt of the KU Student Court early Tuesday morning by John Hampton, Lawrence second year law student and chief justice of the Student Court.

The action was taken after the Student Court Monday night in a 7-0 decision ruled that the Wescoe Hall referendum be placed on today's ballot.
Hampton ordered Awbrey as president of the Student Senate to carry out the decision of the court. Later in a phone conversation with Hampton, Awbrey refused to carry out the order. He said compliance was impossible by 8 a.m. today when the polls open.

danger in sensitivity training, Mohr said. The middle-aged military man said since 1917 Americans had been warned by the communists, that the U.S. would be destroyed from within. He added this would be done with a breakdown of the moral fiber of the American youth.
Americans were unruffled by the statements made by "a little funny man named Hitler." Americans should take heed and become aware of the inherent evil in sensitivity training, he said.
Mohr warned the audience to use the past as a signpost of the future. He said in the 1930's
In a question and answer period following Mohr's speech, a group began screaming and yelling and throwing marshmallows.
During his hour long speech, Mohr was interrupted several
times by a small group in the full Woodruff Auditorium.
Weather
Partly cloudy to cloudy and a little warmer with easterly winds 10 to 15 mph today.

Can Ya Dig It?
Midterms Here:
Midterms? Each semester they attack thousands of KU students. It's easy to identify the midterm-struck student by his (her) weakened condition, bad breath, glazed eyes, B.O., and/or the nervous twitch in his left ear. In the past KU alumni have tried to get the KU campus declared a disaster area during 6 week exams. (If they haven't, they should have!)
So what can you do as a student to escape midterm sickness? You can suffer and cram for the tests thus killing yourself. You can go to Watkins Hospital and get yourself declared legally sick. You can bomb out on the tests and tell yourself next time will be different.
Or you can pace yourself. Take a break. Relax. Come to the Captain's Table. At the Captain's Table you can choose from a variety of delicious midterm cures. Food from the Captain's Table can cure your weakened condition. (Time out for a bath, mouthwash and sleep cures the other midterm ill effects.)
Relax, The Captain's Table is here to help you through this agonizing week. Can you dig it?
