Unconventional parties invade student governments nationwide
By SUSAN SCHOENMAKER Staff Reporter
Although the tactics of two of the four Student Senate presidential coalitions have been described as jokes, they aren't new to college politics. Levity has swept into campus campaigns nationwide, with government itself the bull of the gates.
At the University of Missouri-Columbia, the "birthday Party" won the 1979 election, its candidates campaigning in strait jacksets and clown costumes.
Promising pennies and playfulness, the University of Wisconsin's "Pail and Shovel" Party in Madison, Ws., showcled a student government victory in May 1978.
It has been downhill since then, said Jim Mallon, "Pail and Shovel" president who was elected for a second term by a wide margin.
"Anyone who takes student government seriously ought to be run off campus,"
Mallon said. "We're dedicated to the four-year-old spirit in all of us."
Although Mallon said he made "thousands" of promises all of which he ignored, he did not fail in his promise to make student government a playground.
UNDER HIS administration, students were given a penny rebate at registration, totaling $3,500. A midwest edition of the Statue of Liberty soared over Lake Michigan and won a Mallon's answer to a campaign promise to the East Coast to Madison.
"We ran because we wanted the big graduate in communication arts. "Look at what we have here—a typewriter, a telephone, a dial-a-joke machine and five machines."
AT THE. University of Kansas, the Bendover coalition has its own kind of homegrown humorous politics.
candidate, said that if he won, he would open the Senate calendar with an insurgent ball and a coronation ceremony or for a joint session of the and new Senate.
Tim Salter. Bendover's presidential
Bendover plans to have the last laugh at elections. Salter said.
HOWEVER, KU's Apathy coalition also expects a smashing victory at the nolls.
"We got 85 percent of the non-vote last year and we expect to sweep the election again this year," said Chris Fleisher, Anathy presidential candidate.
He said that Apathy did not plan to doze away from the vote, as he counsellors' top priority was to fire the Board of Regents for failing to act on the Senate's resolution to name the Visual Art Museum.
Fleisher also said the Apathy coalition intended to offer Ayatollah Khomeini and the former Shah of Iran political assailment, a department, to fill two expected vacancies.

An attempt by City Commissioner Marci Francisco to change the city's industrial revenue bond policy was struck down last night by four other adamant commissioners.

Francisco said the city's bond policy should examine an industry's labor relations record. Her proposal was promptly the current Stokley Van-Camp lockout.

The other four commissioners, however, said existing remedies made a bond policy change unnecessary.

“If there is a real injustice,” Commissioner Ed Carter said, “workers have the Federal Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, to address different ways to address the problem.”
Mary Barkley Clark said when a corporation began to explore Lawrence as a building site, any resident could express his feelings about the company's labor record.
Clark said he did not want the city to do the job of federal labor agencies.
"I don't want to get into second-guessing the National Labor Relations Board," he said. "We'd be shaving God if we did."
A Stokely worker, Hubert Malchesky, 1339 Vermont St., supported the bond policy change.
"I know what can happen when a company does not follow the spirit of the labor law," he said. "It is wise for any company to have labor laws and it is wise for any city to have labor laws." He followed the National Labor Relations Act."

The commission tabled the proposed CD funding two weeks ago, disagreeing on use of CD funds in areas where some residents could pay for their share of the sidewalks.
The developer, James Schwada, said the area had been zoned same-family for years and many vacant lots did not sold, in which higher-density zoning was desirable.
"WE SHOULD NOT EVEN be here." Huber said. "We should not have to defend ourselves. Is the homeowner destined to move our businesses based on the profitative理念" bases on the profitative?
And after more than three hours of discussion, the commission overreached the committee to deny County Planning Commission to deny a request by developers to change zoning in a community.
Duane Huber, 416 Iowa St., said he was angry that the residents had been forced into a zoning battle.

THE COMMISSION also approved a rate increase for the Kansas Public Service, effective Feb. 15, that would raise the resident's gas bill by 85 cents a month.

The area, known as the Bluffs, now is primarily single-family residential. The developers want it zoned for multiple-family dwellings.
zoning would overload the area's drainage system, undesirably increase traffic and destroy the area's unusual topography.
