By MARLENE SELLBERG
Kenyan Staff Writer
Unity and student involvement are goals of all six candidates for sophomore class.
Tyn Cobb, Fairway; Tim Korte, Arkansas City; Bill Morton, Prairie Village; Derek Mura, Glen Elyn, III; Duke Rauh, Salma; Glen Elyn, Leedow, and the canaries for president.
Jim Lagain, Overland Park, dropped from the race Tuesday night because he said he didn't have time to run an effective campaign. His entire coalition, Sophomore

for an Active Class, has dropped from the race. Its members were Bruce Eastman, Overland Park, for vice president; Sheri Ebert, President; and Pat Impenment, Wichita, for treasurer.
Cobb presidential candidate from the Sophomore Unity Coalition, said, "I want to help the sophomore class and participate in deciding their activities."
He said he would enlarge the program supporting Concerned Students for Higher

Education in Kansas by publicizing it more. He said he'd also try to expand the Majors Forum by getting more departmental leaders to speak.
The Majors Forum was initiated this year by the sophomore class to acquaint students with the topics of study.
Cobb said he would also try to boost class card sales to provide increased revenue for the company.
Other candidates from the Sophomore Unity Coation are Greg Hurd, Overland Park for vice president; and Leslie Jones, Shawnee mission, for treasurer.
Korte, presidential candidate from the Unflying Faction, said, "I think student government has many apathetic people who want to change this and get the students involved."
He said his main concern would be to initiate a communications system so students would know about class meetings and could attend them.
He said the minutes of the meetings could be published or posted to inform organizations.
Korte said he would rather have speakers and concerts sponsored by the entire board of class officers than by separate classes. He also said that no student attendance at the programs
Combining class funds would result in better speakers, concert and crowds, Kitchen.
Korte said his coalition was running on a platform of unity and involvement.
"The University is for the students. With unity we hope we can get more effective ideas and help the student feel a part of KU rather than a number." he said.
Running on the Unifying Faction ticket is Vida Bikales, Shawnee Mission, for vice president; Ron Weir, Junction City, for city manager; Mary Murray, Overland Park, for treasurer.
Morton said he wanted to increase the awareness of the class by using media such as videos.
Morton, presidential candidate from the Unified Sophomores for Action, said, "I wanted to get to the center of what's going on so I felt I should run for class officer."
He said he also wanted to continue the Majors Forum and improve it by taking a poll to determine what student interests actually were.
A class can serve a student by offering social activities and educational opportunities.
"We are running to be representatives and want to act as such. We are open for suggestions and have no set platforms," Morton said.
Running with Morton on his ticket are John Brieley, Burlingame, Cal., for vice president; Tricia Bork, St. Mary's, for secretary; and Mel Smart, Overland Park,
Men's Lib Movement Has Start with Group
Although the University of Kansas has no male organization comparable to the Commission on the Status of Women, the seeds of a men's liberation movement have been planted in Oread in the form of a men's awareness group sponsored by the Free University.
David Carr, Wellington senior and a member of the group, said, "In this society or culture, we, as men, have been conditioned. Men are not supposed to express emotions. We are supposed to develop superficial friendships with other men."
Society has forced men into specific roles just as women have been forced into roles, Deyton said, and the purpose of the group is to help them, both in men and to expand their roles in society.
He said that the group had no official leader and that weekly meetings were required.
Deyton said, "We are working beyond the superficialities of sex, women, sports and sports."
Carr said the only specific topic the group had discussed was male competition.
ALTHOUGH several men talked about organizing a male awareness group last semester, he said, the group did not get off the ground until this semester.
Nine men attend the group meetings regularly, Deyton said.
Lawrence (Bopper) Deyton, Lawrence senior and organizer of the group, said this week that he thought formation of such groups was already a trend among men. The women's liberation movement, he said, is largely responsible for the trend.
"You are taught to always compete and to always be the best," he said.

Deyton said, "We are trying to break out of the roles society has forced upon us," the deputy commissioner said.
human beings rather than as men."
Carr said that the group had tried to create trust between its members, and that members now felt they had established a bond on which to establish open relationships.
"YOU CANNOT relate what's going on to someone outside the place," he said. "What's good about the group is that its members are so varied. One thing that has made it not structured like a course. It all voluntary and it is not limited to University men."
Carr said that it was the first time he had been in an all-male group since the Boy Scout
It is important for men to understand themselves as men before they can fully participate in a coed humanist group, he said.
"I think males typically have had a fairly secure place in society," he said. "Laws primarily have been made and enforced by the military or liberation movement has changed this."
"A lot of men are frightened by the women's movement, but I think they see things in it that they would like for themselves," he said. "By getting together with other men, a man can learn to accept the women's movement." Devton said.
Deyton said he thought the long range goal of organizations like the men's awareness group was the eventual uniting of men and women groups into a humanistic group.
Carr said that at times he had been disturbed by some representatives of the witchcraft
Mura said the most important program he would initiate would be called the "English for Teachers" program, based on the campus for written student complaints and suggestions, Mura said. The
Mura, presidential candidate from the Students Understanding Action, said "I see a need to belong. It's a big university and this is a way I can have a say in what goes on."
"I wouldn't want to be just a president.
That sounds like the job's over. I want to be."

Deyton said, "My dad has never thought challenging either role."
boxes would be emptied regularly and the contents evaluated, he said.
Mura said he would like to see more community projects, such as recycling paper initiated by the classes so more children would become involved in class projects.
Running with Mura are John Brady,
Leawood, for vice president; April Pitcairn,
Leawood, for secretary; and Becky Beeler,
Prairie Village, for treasurer.

"I'd like to see if I could change the role of myophone class president from social worker to teacher."
Referring to similar action by the University of Missouri, Ternes said he'd want to try closing Jayhawk Boulevard to traffic during class hours.
Ternes said there should be more communication between students, student senators and officers. To achieve this, he would conduct a poll on all student issues.
Other coalition members are Sherry Bauer, Glendale, M., for vice president; Susan Flummeret, Leavenworth, for Carl and Carl Lewis, Lewis for treasurer.
Ternes said he wanted to investigate all programs currently supported by the
Bennett said the universities also should initiate any interstate compacts for sharing resources and equipment funding. The legislature would be receptive to arrangements among midwestern universities but it would not take them further, making those arrangements, he said.

Bennett said he agreed with Nixon's policy of reducing federal grants. Even though some individual programs suffer the overall policy of allowing states to determine their own priorities is a good one, he said.
Ternes is the only presidential candidate who is not part of a coalition.
Rahu said he thought a feedback program was necessary. He said a representative from each fraternity, sorority and residence hall would conduct a survey after every class activity to determine overall reaction.
Instead of the Majors Forum, Rahu said he'd like to initiate Career Week when all college deans would be invited to speak about job opportunities.
Bennett said he favored allocating some revenue sharing money to compensate for cuts in federal funding. The allocation will not come this legislative session, he said, and Congress would not require the committee because Congress has not yet determined which funds will be cut.
Bennett said it was up to the Board of Regents to make the recommendation for such a line item allocation but that the recommendation be receptive to the recommendation.
A female member of the faculty asked whether the legislature would be receptive to a line-item allocation to bring the salaries of female faculty members to a level comparable to that of male faculty members.
Ternes said he supported the Pearson universities program and would look into it then. He also said that there was a need for a

interest in the class generated and try to avoid having only one group of people repeatedly dominating the campus political scene."
Rahul said his coalition had contacted several Lawrence merchants concerning discounts on the class cards. He said better deals are offered he will be offered than those offered previously.
They made these observations in response to questions about affirmative action and KU's share of the higher education budget.
