Senators Program:
Still Waiting
We havt observed and commented on the Senators
Program several time during the few short weeks that
we have been publishing; we expressed relief that the
program was finally starting to move, and we outlined the
Sans under which the senators would visit the campus
onday night.
We appealed for support from the Greek system and
the residence halls, which was promptly and enthuisastic
ally given from both. And then we sat back to see if
John Kenagy could work the program even more effective
ly than Tom Kotouc did two years ago.
Perhaps Kenagy shouldn't be personally blamed be
cause no Senators could be invited Monday night, but. as
committee chairman, he should be held responsible for
the complete and utter failure of the program to date
(the Unicameral convened in January) and for making the
program work in the few remaining weeks he has at his
disposal.
No, the program has not been a complete and utter
failure; senators will tour the campus tomorrow, and
many students are interested. But we are interested more
in "improving communication between the senators and
the students" (one of Kenagy's stated purposes for the
program) and do not feel that very much contact will be
enjoyed in the lightning tours Thursday. At least no as
much as we have experienced in the past with living
unit visits.
In writing this editorial, we did not ask Kenagy for
excuses, nor did we attempt to evaluate the reasons for
his failure. We do know that senators accepted invitations
two years ago, and see no reason why they shouldn't now.
If they are too busy, the program should be dropped. They
weren't two years ago. If they aren't interested, the pro
gram should be sacked. They were two years ago.
We understand that the committee scheduled a meet
ing last night. We will be waiting with interest to see
whether there is any justification for failure, whether there
is any hope for the future, whether we would be better off
to quit wasting our time.

After advocating student
awareness and the idea of a
great America last week, I
looked around and was told
many noteworthy things.
That SNCC is a commu
nist front organization,
which it is not; that the
university is still the sin
center of the state, which is
also untrue; and that to ad
vocate liquor and dates in
dorm rooms would bring ev
eryone from the PTA to the
'holy trinity' down on one's
head, unfortunately, this is
true. The one thing left is
the perennial complaint
about women's closing
hours. About this some
thing can be done.
The regulations that gov
ern these hours are set by
the twenty-one members of
the A.W.S. Board and aft
er approval of the Dean of
Women they are the law.
When asked about the
reason for these regulations,
Jan Whitney, president of
A.W.S. said, "coed safety"

The members of the
A.W.S. Board do have a
responsibility to the coeds
that elected them to office,
but does the present meth
od of formulating and ap
proving the closing hours by
the board meet this obliga
tion? To the average coed, regu
lation of closing hours is one
of the more important
functions of A.W.S. and one
that directly affects her
life. Surely it must be more
than just an administrative
matter.
The A.W.S. Board could
serve its purpose better if
it met to formulate a set of
hours, then submit them
back to the A.W.S. members
for a vote of approval. This
would give each individual
coed a chance to express
herself and give A.W.S. a
firmer basis for their au
thority. Before this can be done
the A.W.S. Board must be
aware of a desire for
change. This can be shown
through A.W.S. representa
tives in housing units, by
petition, or by talking to
A.W.S. Board members.
Change can be made.

Dear editor.
The following may not be '
long, but it is significant.
Off and on there have been
talks about administration,

the students themselves for

So far. nothing! How
about the students them
selves putting out their own

'Government Solved
Unemployment Already'
Editor's Note: This is the
. second of two articles re
printed from the Kansas
State Collegian dealing
with a federal public works
program. Today's column
presents the negative case.
By Don Dressier
"The Federal Govern
ment should not establish a
national program of public
work for the unemployed,"
is the position of the nega
tive teams in Inter-Collegiate
Debate this year.
There are presently two
by two arguments. First,
there is no need for such a
program to solve the prob
lem of unemployment. Sec
ond, any program of public
work has disadvantages
which should discourage its
'use.
THE PROBLEM of unem
ployment is not as great as
it is often pictured. In fact,
the rate of unemployment
has steadily decreased in
the last few years. In 1961.
the unemployment rate was
about 6.7 per cent. This rate
was reduced to 5.6 per cent
unemployment in 1962, and
as of December, 1964. the
unemployment rate was 4.9
per cent.
There are presently two
approaches to solving t h e
problem of unemployment
taken by the Federal Gov
ernment. FIRST, there are pro
grams designed to stimu
late the business economy
and provide job openings
for more people. The tax
cut. the "Economic Oppor
tunity Act," and the Appa
lachia Program are of this
type.
SECOND, the government
is now trying to establish
programs which will pre
pare the part of the labor
force which is unemployed

POINT
OF THE
LANCE
for the jobs which the ex
panded business economy is
creating. The "Manpower
Development and retrain
ing Act" is one such pro
gram. In other words, the Fed
eral Government is now
trying to encourage- t h e
creation of jobs by the pri
vate sector and at the same
time is helping to train th
unemployed to fill these
new jobs.
THE PROGRAM of pub
lic works is not needed be
cause there are now in ex
istence programs designed
to solve the problem. And
the fact that the rate of un
employment h, dropping
seems to indicate the pro
grams are' succeeding.
Not only is the establish
ment of a program of pub
lic work not needed, but it
is not advisable because of
two defects in such a pro
gram. FIRST, a public work pro
gram would be much more
expensive than the present
systems of solving unem
ployment. The cost of plan
ni ng, hiring supervisors,
and purchasing supples, in
addition to the wages of peo
ple employed in the project,
would make such a pro
gram of public work more
expensive (per job created)
than a program like a tax
cut.
Not only that, but a pro
gram of public work takes
more time to institute than
a tax cut needs to stimulate
the economy. Thus, the neg
ative contends that a pro
gram of public works should
not be established by t h e
Federal Government be
cause the problem of un.
employment is being solved
by the existing approach of
the government in helping
stimulate jobs and train the
unemployed to find jobs.
