Show JOHN KESLER initiates Free University, course evaluation ASUU President John Kesler began a year full of excitement and innovation in the summer of 1967 when he and nine other western college student leaders participated in a People to People sponsored fact-finding trip to Southeast Asia where they met with student leaders from Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, and South Vietnam. On his return to Utah he plunged into the school year by leading the protest march to the Capitol, thus throwing the support of ASUU government solidly behind the students' protest of the Governor's cut in University appropriations and the consequent proposed tuition increase. Kesler moved forward to initiate such new programs as the Free University and course evaluation. He also put into play two new groups, the Council of Twenty, a group of faculty, administrators, and students who met monthly to brainstorm about campus problems, and the Student Board of Regents Liason Committee, which met monthly to discuss any issue involving students before the Board of Regents considered it and voted in their official meetings.
