Groups discuss office space in Kansas Union
David Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president, and Mrs. Katherine Giele, activities adviser of the Kansas Union, discuss problems of office space in the union at a meeting of the Union Operating Board.
Representatives of three student groups met Wednesday with the Union Operating Board to discuss problems of office space in the Kansas Union.
The Independent Student Party (ISP), Hillel and Student Faculty Course Evaluation Committee representatives complained about their office assignments. The ISP and the Evaluation Committee claimed that sharing an office with a political organization would jeopardize their operations.
Hillel spokesmen protested their temporary assignment of office space. They said they were seeking permanent office space on the grounds that they were not a religious organization.
The Union Operating Board met in November when requests for office space first exceeded the
available space and the four member Board established some guidelines to replace the former first come, first served policy.
These informal guidelines for office space include making space available for temporary assignments, having religious groups find other space, allowing no organization more space than is needed and allowing only organizations which serve the entire student community.
The meeting dealt mainly with the individual problems of the groups present. A solution acceptable to all was the doubling of non-conflicting groups in the present office space until the Board adopts a rigid formal policy.
Proposed solutions to be discussed in a Friday Board meeting
include reassigning all office space on a consistent criteria, installing four by eight one-man metal closets to serve as offices and partitioning the Kansas Union's activities lounge into offices.

Sorority soda sales earmarked for needy
Girls in four KU sorority houses have devised a new method to set aside money for charities.
Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Pi Beta Phi and Gamma Beta Phi service their own pop machines, charging five cents extra for each bottle of pop. This extra money goes into a joint bank account until members decide where it is needed most. The balance in the account to date is $1,139.19.
If any house in the group wishes to withdraw, it can do so with the stipulation that the money which it gave up to that point remain in the account.
Kathy Hoefer, Prairie Village junior and chairman of the steering committee, says the committee has not decided yet where the

money will be used. She said that suggestions were welcome, and that the question would probably be referred to the newly established Panhellenic Philanthropy committee.
