Fall elections still scheduled
The All Student Council (ASC) elections will still be held Nov. 15 and 16.
Rosie Burns, Caldwell senior and ASC Elections Committee cochairman, said even though Vox Populi will not run a slate of candidates, the election will be held.
"We have several independent candidates who want to run, so we will have to have the election. We also have the new elections bill to vote on." she said.
The "elections bill" which will be presented to the student voters is a constitutional change which would alter the number of living districts and add the class officers to the ASC.
Miss Burns said the polling places would be located in the same three places as previous years. That is, the Rotunda of Strong Hall, the lobby of the Kansas Union and the lobby of Murphy Hall. The polling places will be open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on the election days.
Miss Burns said there would be an Elections Committee meeting tonight at 6:30 in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room. This will be a meeting for all candidates who have their petitions in. The Elections Committee will outline the rules under which the candidates must run and answer questions.
"All candidates must attend," she said. "The Elections Committee itself will have a meeting after the meeting with the candidates."
Miss Burns said she would announce the Freshman Class Officers candidates and the independent candidates for ASC positions in the Kansan tomorrow.
Party leaders call it quits
Vox Populi is dead.
In a statement issued late last night, the Executive Council of the party said Vox will "run no candidates in the upcoming fall election."
The All Student Council Constitution says, "Any party which fails to file a candidate in any annual spring election or any annual fall election, shall be considered no longer in existence..."
Kissel cites apathy
Bill Kissel, Overland Park junior and former Vox chairman, said student apathy was the primary reason for the party's death.
"Traditionally, no one has cared much about campus politics. This year, the lack of enthusiasm is much worse than ever. We couldn't get candidates to run because they couldn't see that their running or election would serve any useful purpose."
Kissel said all Vox members and sympathizers were encouraged to work through "any and all available means to re-vitalize student politics back to a respectable level."
The Vox statement said.
"The Executive Council of Vox Populi has decided to run no candidates in the upcoming fall elections. Vox Populi as a political institution has found its purposes mired in apathy. We feel the present apathy stems from the ineffectiveness of student government. However, we maintain the present system of student government is capable of being an effective tool of the student. Realizing that the best interests of student government can not be served by the status quo, we have chosen to run no slate of candidates. The Vox Populi organization and its supporters will continue to strive for the betterment of student government to the point where it is really representative of student opinion. The political future of Vox Populi is presently at a halt, however, we do intend to work for the betterment of student government in the channels open to us."
Kissel said the Vox leadership was encouraging all of its would-be candidates to run independently. However, the deadline for filing petitions is 5 p.m. today. Independent candidates must have 200 signatures on a petition to be able to run. Kissel said he didn't know if the Vox candidates would have time to collect the needed signatures.
Blood drive begins today
"Blood" is the cry this week on the KU campus as the All Student Council holds its bi-annual campus blood drive. The drive began today and will continue through Thursday afternoon.
Donations from healthy students, faculty, and staff will be taken in the Kansas Union South Lounge from 11:15-5:15 today and
Malnutrition: vending machine malady
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO LOSE YOUR MONEY . . .
Directions: Lines D, E, F of the map.
By Linda Fabry Kansan Staff Reporter
It's 2 a.m. and you're starving.
You go downstairs to your hall
vending machines, drop in a dime,
push the button and . . . nothing.
Bring up the subject of vending machines at your dinner table sometime and listen to the comments.
After listening to some of the comments you'll wonder why people bother to use the machines at all.
"I'm always losing my last dime in those machines," someone will invariably say.
Some haven't lost
Quite possibly there will be a few at the table who will say they have never lost money in the machines and maybe one person will happily report he has "beat" the machines. This means he has either gotten more for his money (two candy bars instead of one) or more money (too much change).
The standard procedure when
Parental permission

However, because the vending machines are not slot machines the latter case is a rare one.
Wednesday, and from 9-3:15 on Thursday.
Students under 21 years of age must obtain a parental permission slip from the Law School office in order to give blood. These slips must be returned when the student enters the lounge.
"We are hoping to get about 200 donors each day," Charles Oldfather, professor of law and faculty advisor for the drive, said. "That would be about comparable to the number we drew during last spring's drive."
Since last July, KU has been a covered institution in the Red Cross blood program. This means that all members of the University community may receive blood for themselves and their immediate family with no charge to the recipient.
Five per cent minimum
In order to maintain this adequate coverage, about five per cent of the student body must give during the drive.
Normally, the recipient is charged for each transfusion that is given.
Barbara Blee, Bonner Springs sophomore, is student chairman of the drive this semester.
