College students have
long had a penchant, for
one reason or another, for
organizations, committees,
study groups, ad hoc com
mittees, senates, and coor
dinating councils, ad infini
tum. One of the newest, larg
est, and potentially most
important student groups is
the Inter-Dormitory Associ
ation. But in its organiza
tional attempts IDA has
made the Russian Revolu
tion look like a tiddleywinks
tournament in an Old Folks
Home.
In a genuine attempt to
form a democratic organi
zation, IDA has had four
elections, complete with
campaign literature, plat
ASUN'S FIRST FT IX TIME SECRETARY . . . Mrs.
Don Poulson, tackles the day's paperwork.
ASUN Hires Secretary
ti
To Handle Office Work
For the convenience of
University students, the
ASUN office hired its first
full time secretary, Mrs.
Don Poulsen.
Mrs. Poulsen describes
her job as that of "secre
t a r i a 1 receptionist" for
ASUN. She answers the
phone, makes connections
for senators and students,
and does general typing.
ENJOS WORK
Mrs. Poulsen began work
on Sept. 6. She took the job
because she enjoys working
with ASUN and it allows her
to work at a time when her
three children are in school.
She was previously em
ployed by Nationwide Pa
per Company. She is paid
from ASUN funds the or
ganization was alloted $1700
annually for secretarial ex
penses in 1967-68.
Although she does not
consider it her job to be
involved in ASUN affairs,
the is "very interested in
what students think."

forms, and ad hoc commit
tees. And IDA still has only one
elected executive.
IDA has been plagued by
nearly incredible problems
from the start. An Inter
Dorm Coordinating Council
drew up a tentative consti
tution for a governing body
of all dorms about two
years ago, according to
John Fryar, former IDA
president.
B e f o r e the Constitution
was placed on the ballot for
approval by dorm residents,
an Ad Hoc Committee
against the proposed Con
stitution was formed.
They managed to defeat
the Constitution, even
though a majority of stu
dents voted FOR the pro
posal. The election was de
cided, by and electorial college-type
of tabulation con
sidering dorms as units,
rather than counting individ
ual votes.

the drawing board, and

agree all the time. I find it
very enlightening," she
added.
The office has never had
a secretary, she continued,
and part of her job is get
ting it set up on a regular
office basis.
"This is the reason they
hired somebody not con
nected with the University,
in order to keep the office
open all day during
classes," she explained.
The ASUN office hours
are from 9 a.m. to 12 noon,
and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

another dorm-wide election.
Every campus organiza
tion needs executives, so
new organization scheduled
elections for president and
vice president. John Fryar
and Nancy Martson won
the election handily and IDA
seemed to be rolling until
someone discovered that
Miss Martson was a trans
fer student from Cottey Col
lege in Nevada, Missouri.
The IDA constitution ex
plicitly states that a mem
be of the executve com
mittee must have been a
dorm resident for one year.
Miss Martson, unfortunat
ely, was three months
short. Trusting the vicissi
tudes of the ballot box to
the risk of being "unconsti
tutional." another election
was scheduled.
BIBLE BROKE
Brian Ridenour was elect
ed vice president on April
6 and IDA settled down to
work on projects like the
coed visiting hours propos
al and a link between the
Inter Fraternity Council,
Panhellenic, and the IDA.
Everything was going
smoothly until first semes
ter of this year when John
Fryar announced his resig
nation from the organiza
tion. Brian Ridenour moved
to president, and Dave
Shonka was appointed vice
president at last week's
meeting.
Fryar resigned because
he was a student assistant,
and student assistants, like
transfer students, are not
eligible for executive com
mittee positions.
The most extensive work
done by IDA is the proposal
for coed visiting hours
within dorm rooms. The re
quest was rejected by the
Board of Regents last spring
but IDA is not giving up,
according to Shonka.
COED VISITS
They have prepared a re
port, requested by the Re
gents, concerning recrea
tion facilities, potential
new dorm structures, and
another recommendation
that coed visiting hours be
accepted according to new
Vice President ShorV.a.
Included in the report are
suggestions for a branch li
brary in Nebraska Hall for
the convenience of dorm stu
dents who live blocks away
from Love Library, and a
proposal for a rotating caf
eteria service, so students
do not have to walk back
to the dorm complex for
lunch.
Instead, according to
Shonka, he could go to the
nearest dormitory food ser
vice cafeteria.
The coed visiting propos
al uses the rationale that
"the dormitory is your
home, nine months of the
year," Shonka stated.

The University allows
stereos, popcorn poppers,
TV sets and refrigerators
in the dorm rooms, accord
ing to Shonka, so why not
coeds during scheduled vis
iting hours on weekend af
ternoons? Then too, observed both
Shonka and Fryar, the Uni
versity requires students to
live in the dorms, so it
would seem wise if the ad
ministration made them as
desireable as possible.
FINANCIAL PROBLEM
"The University is really
in no position to argue
about financial matters
right now," Fryar remark
ed. "A student in an apart
ment pays less for his resi
dence and does not face
coed visitation regulations."
"IDA wants to help the
University out of their fi
nancial problem, but there
is a great deal that they
can do to make the dorms
a more pleasant place to
live," Fryar cautioned.
"Last year," Fryar con
tinued, "we tried to inform
the administration what
would happen if both the
dorm rates and tuition in
creased. A poll in Cather
showed that such an in
crease would be disastrous
to many students.
"I don't know if the in
crease is the reason for
the number of vacancies
they have in the dorms this
year, but it was certainly
a determining factor," Fry
ar remarked.
IDA will continue, we are
assured, to fight dorm riv
alries, the transitory nature
of dorm residents, and their
own Constitution in an at
tempt to unite five thou
sand dorm residents on two
campuses.
If they succeed, IDA
could become, with the pos
sible exception of ASUN,
the most powerful campus
organization. The year, the
leaders, and the organiza
tion are young. IDA may
be down, but, it is clear,
it is not out.
