Junior Class Officer Race Four Slates Give Views
By ROGER WOOLDRIDGE Kansan Staff Writer
Their campaigns now in full swing, 16 candidates representing four different coalition positions are vying for junior class officer positions. The groups are Unified Junior Coalition, Our Gang, Junior Express Coalition and the Coalition of Interested Students.
The Unified Junior Alliance consists of Randy McAllister, Salina, for president; Leslie Gregory, Wichita, for vice president; Linda McKay, Westchester, and Rodney Wodenc, Topeka, for treasurer.
Their alliance offers "something for everyone" and a "visible group of officers,"
McAllister said he thought a lot could be done by the junior class, for the class and for the faculty.
The Alliance proposes a variety of speakers, a revision of the class card discount policy, different kinds of class cards for students, and representing all four classes he said McAllister cited the Elton John concert last fall as an outstanding example of cooperation among the classes. He said a recent class board would benefit all students.
The Alliance would also like to become involved in students' rights, such as rent waivers and access to vouchers for the Concerned Students. Above, Education group, according to Gregory.

Increased communication is another stated priority of the Alliance. Gregory said the Alliance proposed forums be held in-person to give them a gain feedback on class matters, and to make themselves, as officers, more aware of their peers' views.
McAllister added that he thought "a lot can be done as an individual, but even more can be done as a class. The Alliance wants everyone involved to benefit the entire class."
The Our Gang slate of officers consists of Scott McFadden, Syracuse; for president;
Steve Lallier, Leavenworth, for vice president; Linda Lesky, Prairie Village, for secretary; and Leslie Buterin, Shawnee Mission, for treasurer.
Our Gang is attempting to unify the junior
through its ambition and inform
information.
"We think class offices can be fun," he said. "By showing our enthusiasm, we feel that others in the class will be encouraged to join in and work together."
Our Gang sees the need for a permanent board of officers, especially in handling traffic.

slate agreed that they wanted a larger number of class card discounts, and a different approach in handling the sale of class cards.
Our Gang supports the Concerned Students About Higher Education group, but thinks that the organization should be a separate institution, rather than the purpose of one class.
Our Gang candidates said they chose their name to show the fact that they don't want a formal type of coaction. They said they preferred to show the junior class that the gang "gang" by working for them, and then turning it into an entitlement into an entire class effort.
The Junior Express Coalition (JEC) consists of Charle Rhode, Oalate, for president; Mark Schwartz, Dodge City, for vice president; Susan Cushin, St. Louis, Mo., for secretary; and Charla Mallory, Belle Plaine, for treasurer.
The JEC seeks an improvement in the services delivered to the junior class; Ribbons
Cashin sailed the JEC also sought a more representative, rather than autonomous personnel.
Rhoades said he believed that "students appreciate tangible benefits. They want something that can be realized in their junior year."
The Junior Express Coalition sees itself as four equals who can best share the duties of the office by merging their own individual talents, he said.

others were greeted by about 1,000 persons at the air base.
FOR AT LEAST two of the men, the return home provided an opportunity to learn about the practice.
Air Force Maj. J. Cblews of San Antonio, Tex., who had spent his five previous birthdays in a North Vietnamese prison camp, marked his 34th by stepping on the soil of his home state at Kally. And he got well with the 40th birthday present for the man an enthusiastic welcome from his wife and five children at Andrews.
As they boarded their C14 Start Lifter jets, the men got a hero's sendoff from American school children and others stationed at Clark, where the men had enjoyed their first full two days of freedom and made their first telephone calls home.
"GOD BLESS you! God bless you all"
NavyCMr. Edward H. Martin, 41. of
Coronado, Calif., shouted to the crowd.
Air Force Col. James H. Kasler, 47, said, "We have like we have been surrounded by a loving family."
All 80 POWs are officers, most of them Air Force and Navy plots. They were released from North Vietnamese prison camps by Hanoi on Sunday.
The flights to the American mainland first stopped in Hawaii, a refueling stop in the Pacific.
The 80 who flew homeward Wednesday were among 136 Americans freed Sunday. The other 56 will fly back Thursday in three flights—to Travis, Scott and Kelly. Thirty American freed by the Viet Cong also will fly to the United States Thursday.
Wednesday's flights brought to 243 the number of Americans who have returned to the United States since the Vietnam ceasefire was signed Jan. 27, North Vietnam and the Viet Cong say they hold another 286 American POWs.
JEC members believed that some overlapping between class activities had occurred. For instance, they said that the Concerned Students About Higher Education group should be supported, the JEC students about higher education would yield immediate results, they said.
Other Junior Express Coalition proposals include open class meetings, mail circulars to obtain student feedback, different types of class parties, and concert and speakers.

"Basically," said Cashin, "we are doers. Rather than say it can't be done, we want to try it first. Even if we aren't elected, we'll still be pushing for what we believe."

The Coalition of Interested Students (CIS) consists of John Whitney, Prairie Village, for president; Thane Hodson, Lawrence, for vice president; Becky Podrebarak, Kansas City, Kan., for secretary, and Sarah Moore, West lake Village, Calif., for treasurer.

"In the past, these committees have usually involved the friends of the officers, rather than representatives of the entire class." he said.
Other CIS proposals include class card discount policy revision, different kinds of parties, and an awareness about and proper use of class money.
CIS members said they were also concerned with communication between the students and the class officers. If elected, they said, they intend to continue the newsletter, better publicize class events, follow questionnaires, both before and after elections.
Most of the candidates they thought running for office was worthwhile because it was a valuable and rewarding experience.
"It involves democracy, politics, and representation," Mallory said. "We learn to understand how we can make, the means to bring about changes, and the chance to serve our class."
