Social organizations such as ISA, Inter- national Club, and Mortar Board may also receive funds. Allotments are made to service organizations like tradi- tions, Student Directory, and the K-Book, also. The ASC, AWS, and similar administrative groups are included with other organizations in the budget. To perform the numerous functions of Student Govern- ment, many departments and committees are necessary. After the all-school election each spring, the All-Student Council must be reorganized for the following year. Per- haps the most important of the numerous presidential appointments is the Committee on Committees. This group, currently under Bob Pope ' s chairmanship, organizes the combined committees of both houses and supervises their operation. Important vice-presidential appointments include secretaries of the Departments of Student Welfare and Student Activities. Jim B. Miller and Ted Ice are now chairmen of these respective departments. The Student Court is nominated by the ASC president and presented to both the Senate and House of Representa- tive s for approval, with the exception of the Chief Justice who is appointed by the Dean of the Law School. Six Associate Justices are selected in addition to the Chief Justice. Generally, all court members are law students. This year, one Associate Justice, Walt Kennedy, will graduate in February and his position will be filled by Tom Phoenix, a pre-law student. The court handles all cases involving a violation of ASC rules. The Student Court has the right to determine fines and penalties. Dealing with traffic viola- tions has been a major function of the court. When an appeal is filed, a formal court session is held, complete with Prosecutor John Fields and Defense Counsel Grant Napier. The case is then judged by the court members and a decision made.

Mr. President, George Sheldon. Ali Student Council OFFICERS George Sheldon, President Bev Jackson, Vice President Sandra James, Secretary Rich Billings, Treasurer THE All-Student Council, a bicameral legislative body, coordinates and regulates extra-curricular activities. The president presides over the Senate and the vice-president is in charge of the House of Rep- resentatives. Senators are elected according to proportional repre- sentation from the twelve schools of the University. Representatives are elected according to proportional representation from various liv- ing groups. In the freshman election on November 2, a man and woman from the freshman class will be elected to the Senate. Fresh- men will also elect two men to the House of Representatives and several women on the basis of voter participation. The All-Student Council, as the supreme governing body of student organizations, draws up a budget each year to facilitate coordination of activities. The $5,450 received from the activity fee will be used to finance many groups. Educational organizations such as the Band, dramatic groups, University Theater, Film Series, Forensic League, Intramurals, the University Daily Kansan, The Law Review, Moot Court, Glee Clubs, CCUN, and similar groups are eligible for allotment. The Engineering Exposition, Statewide Activities, and other classified public relations organizations are Senate Members: Ron Barta, Rich Billings, Jack Brown, Hugh Cox, Bill Dye, Scott Hayden, Anne Hesse, Jane Hewitt, Forrest Hoglund, Herb Horo- witz, Sandra James, Janis Johanson, Jerry Kindig, L eon Matassarin, Mary Michener, Jim B.

Student Court in Session: Front: Grant Napier, Defense Council, and John Fields, Prosecutor. Back: Bill Crews, Kay Roberts, Walt Ken- nedy, Tom Payne, Chief Justice, Walt Ash, Jerry Hanna, Bob Schaefer, Jonoll Rake, Secretary. After the complicated mechanism of the All-Student Council has been set up in the spring and early fall, busi- ness begins. Bills are introduced for consideration as laws pertaining to student life. In order to become a law, a bill after two readings in both the Senate and House, must receive a majority vote in both houses. Some business has already been dealt with this year. The Campus Chest Charity Drive, headed by Bill Sayler, has been reorganized and the date changed. Forrest Hoglund ' s Athletic Seating Committee has gained additional good seats for students in Memorial Stadium and Squat Magazine has been established as an official humor publication. A Student Health Commission whose chairman is Vic Viola is endeavoring to improve student-Watkins Hospital rela- tions. The plan to charge for Student Directories has been rejected; while fines and traffic regulations have been revised. Many projects which are now being developed will soon become issues. Research is being made and steps taken to establish a 75c minimum wage for students, the problem of housing for married students is being con- sidered, and best of all, the possibility of a floating holiday is being discussed. This year, the scholarship committee will conduct a student-teacher evaluation. Forms will be distributed each semester so that each student may anony- mously express his opinion of his instructors, and results will be tallied. The possibilities of affiliating with the National Student Association and the World University Service are soon to be debated. The All-Student Council this year consists of a group of people who have resolved petty political jealousies and are striving to function as an efficient unit. This revitalized group governs the student body with responsibility to the students foremost. ASC Advisors: Kenneth Beasley, Howard Bum- gartel, William Scott, Walter Mikols, James Drury, J. Neale Carman. Not in picture: George Beckmann, Joie Stapleton. 28
