By LINDA HALES
Kenneth Stoff Reports
John Beinser and Todd Hunter say their experience and ideas for the future are reasons why they should be elected student body president and vice president.
"I see myself as a strong facilitator." Beiser says. "Hopefully, one thing I'm putting upward is a record of sorts, and I have to act as a government) has changed some things."
Hunter says he is capable of handling the vice presidency because he knows parliamentary procedure and has been active in campus organizations.
"I have a lot of different ideas on how senate meetings should be run, which would attract interest and attention from senators and the student body," says Hunter.
Beiser, Salina junior, and Hunter,
Oklahoma City junior, are running on
the Uncampus Coalition. They both have
experience in the Student Senate.
BEINSIER WAS ELECTED to the senate in 1971 and 1972, and is an ex officio member of the senate as president of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH). He has served on the Communications Committee, the Student Executive Committee and the Committee on Committees. He is also a member of the University Council.
Before being elected president of AURH,
Beiser was its treasurer and served on a
residents' activity fund task force and
Coordination Committee.
Beisner, a political science major, is a Summerfield Scholar, a National Merit Presidential Scholar and a member of the National Reserve Hall Honorey.
Hunter was elected to the senate in 1973 and has served on the Academic Affairs Committee and Studios. He is also a chair of the University Judiciary, the Parking and University Judiciary, the Parking and

Rolfs Says Inexperience Means Campaign Not Tied to Status Ouo

Ed Rolfs and Kelly Scott, candidates for student body president and vice president, say they will bring a "fresh approach" to student government.
ROLFS WAS ELECTED to the senate from Pearson College last year and has been a student representative on the College Assembly for the past two years.
"I think we can do a better job than our opposition," says Rolfs, Junction City junior and candidate for president. "We haven’t been involved and entrenched in the Student Senate. We’ve been on the outside unable to look back with a fresh approach."
Scott, Houston sophomore, hasn't had any previous student government experience except with residence hall government at Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corbin halls. She says her lack of experience will be a help rather than a hindrance.
"I honestly think I can (represent the
student body better. My vision is clearer," she says.
The philosophy of the Rolfs-Scott campaign is "a question of priorities."
ROLFIS SAYS that the senate isn't the most important voice of the students and that priority should be given to the College Assembly. He also says students should work with legislators and alumni groups. Academics is Rolfis and Scott's first
Rolfs says priorities currently lie within the senate but they should be changed to external affairs-academics, campus affairs and political affairs.
The candidates say they will work for the adoption of pre-enrollment at the University
Rolls says the administration is basically for pre-enrollment, but administrators are waiting for proof of student support before proceeding.

Man, The Coyote's Worst Enemy
Possible Suspects Sought in Kidnapping
The FBI announced yesterday it is seeking a young white couple as potential witnesses and possible suspects in the terrorist kidnapping of a Jewish man.
"Right now, we're only seeking them as potential witnesses," said Bennett, but he stated they could possibly be considered if and when they were found.
FBI Agent Thomas Draku said the man and woman were parked in a car near Miss Heart's apartment at the time of her abduction last Monday night and had been there "for a substantial period of time—well over an hour." No one goes here then, the kidnapping he posed.
Pay Raise for Congress Is Hot Potato
In an election year when constituents are testy with economic woes, Congress is jungling a hot potato: a hefty pay raise that will come its way.
Several resolutions to block the raise have been introduced in both the House and the Senate.
The House resolutions were referred to the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, which has shepherded us to consider them and report, in detail, the work of its members.

End in Sight to 11-Day Truck Strike
By the Associated Press
There were growing indications last night that the largest part of the strike by independent truckers is all but over. Pennsylvania officials said National Guardmen would stop patrolling at midnight as violence continued to be down sharply.
Votes from small groups of strikers, which were reported yesterday, were generally in favor of an end to the 11-day strike. A majority of the day and spot shortages of food and gasoline.
One sign of the developing trend was a report from strike leader Tommy Thompson, who told reporters he was urging his fellow drivers to climb back in their rigs. On Friday, Thompson had said he and his men were going to take over the mile more of their demands were satisfied.
Another was the decision by Pennsylvania officials to end National Guard patrols. Pennsylvania appeared to have been the worst violence during the shutdown.
IN DALLAS, Tex., an association which claims to represent all truck stop owners in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico voted to keep its facilities open. Voluntary and forced closings of truck stops had been a major weapon used by strikers to protect themselves.
In Pittsburgh, Pa., the chairman of the Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers recommended last night that his group's members and all independent truckers resume working today. Bill Hill, whose company has been involved in the strike, said the vast majority of steel haulers' locals had given strong approval to the settlement.
There continued to be small pockets of
resistance to the settlement that promises trucks all the diesel fuel they need and an immediate 6 per cent surcharge in the future. The new rules goes to make up for recent fuel price hikes.
But most strike leaders, and government officials, were calling for a return to the city.
Rejection votes were reported yesterday by small groups of truckers in Nebraska, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The Independent Truckers Coalition, which claims to
represent 3,000 drivers, reported a strong rejection vote yesterday in Allon, Ill.
These developments made it likely there wouldn't be a full return to work by all the staff.
But truck traffic was reported up again yesterday as more and more of the leaders of the independent drivers recommended acceptance of the settlement.
Several Wisconsin truck stops that had been blocked during the shutdown, said business was returning to normal. An Atlanta, Ga., truck stop located on the main

Industries hard hit by layoffs—which totalled more than 100,000 during the height of the shutdown—prepared to call their employees back to work.
Meat and produce shippers sent convoys of trucks roll to areas where shortages had been building up since the strike began Jan. 31.
Coal Walkout Embitters Campaign
LONDON (AP) — Britain's coal miners formally walked off the job yesterday in a strike that added venom to a bitter election. The union crippled the nation's staggering economy.
Their walkout marked a direct challenge to Prime Minister Edward Heath's attempt to maintain his anti-inflation wage controls. Industrialists say it will reduce vital manufacturing industries to a two-day or even a one-day work week.
Most industries already have been reduced to three days of work a week because miners have refused to work overtime. Coal powers the manufacture of 70 per cent of Britain's electricity, and the coal-powered overtime has drastically reduced supplies.
Heath called for an election last Thursday, more than a year before his five-year term expires. He set the vote for Feb. 28, 2013 to postpone the strike during the campaign.
The basic issue plugged by Heath's Conservative party is: Who runs the country, the elected government or the 280,000 miners and their unions?
The debate has been widened—and embittered—by the Conservative claim that leftists in the miners' union, among them Labour, have been bent on destroying British democracy.
The opposition Labor party, led by former Prime Minister Harold Wilson and based on support from the rank and file, says it would settle the strike and get Britain back to work. It has disputed the Conservative charges of "红的 under the bed" and says the real issues is a decent living for the miners.
Heath has maintained he can't offer more than a $7.70 a week addition to the average miner's basic pay of $81 a week. More, he could shatter his anti-inflation program.
The miners are holding out for $101.50 a week average basic pay.
Public opinion poll shows the nation's 40 million voters are generally unaware whose presidential candidate is running.
Payment of social benefits, they said, would depend on the unions to pay strike pay. In the British welfare state, men have been able to strike without drastic reduction in family incomes and without depletion of union funds.
The welfare programs give striking minors no grants from the government. But they get $400 a week for $80 a week, plus free milk, free school meals and some assistance to keep up interest payments on mortgages, rentables on estate and basic pieces of furniture bought on time.
Dockers at the North Seaport of Immingham refused to unload an Italian freighter laden with Polish coal for British shipping. The seamen were supporting the coal miners' strike.

Russia to Assist in Mideast Talks
Syrian and Israeli artillery batteries blazed away at each other on the Golan Heights again yesterday, but an Israeli spokesman said that Russia would try to persuade Syria to meet Tel Aviv's main team for negotiating a troop separation agreement along the lense. These teams are a list of Israel's

Stealing lap boards probably ranks rather low on the scale of cheating sophistication, and it certainly can't match the organized effort that goes into a fraternity file of old theme papers and final exams or the college yearbook. The student writing and selling standardized theme papers.
The Tel Aviv command said four Israeli soldiers were wounded in the fresh fighting along the heights. But the U.N. Emergency Force said all was quiet on both sides of the Suez Canal, and that Israel and Egypt were pulling out as scheduled.
These conditions are a list of Israel's POWs held by Syria and permission for the Israeli government to take them.
At the same time, Libyan leader Moammar Khadifyla launched a savage verbal attack on other Arab leaders he said should have been involved. They should be swapped aside by revolution.
The communiqué was the first since Tuesday, when some of the heaviest fighting since the October war came to a ston.
Khalifa didn't name those he had in mind, but said that Libya was ready to arm and train revolutionary fighters needed to suppress Islam. In Egypt and Algeria opposed to Arab unity.

In Tel Aviv, the military command said Arab guerrillas crossed into Israel from Lebanon Saturday and killed an Israeli girl in a bazooka attack on a small truck.
The communique made no mention of casualties.

The girl was the first Israeli civilian killed in more than two years. Arab guerrillas killed an American nurse in an ambush in the occupied Gaza Strip in January, 1972.
In Jerusalem, Premier Gold Meir cancled her appointment because she was a longtime ally.
In Cairo, the press reported that Egyptian editors have been told that newspaper attacks on the United States and the Soviet Union permitted despite the lifting of censorship.
But university professors have had to develop a few tricks of their own to counter the wide range of stratagems used by cheating students.
LELAND PRITCHARD, professor of economics, says he began handing out different versions of tests after World War II when classrooms became overcrowded. When students ask questions, he says, but it meant that a student looking on his neighbor's test for an answer would probably end up with the answer for an altogether different question. When he sees students cheating, he says, "We should do them it." They're hanging themselves."
The word got around quickly, he says, when a couple of students ended up with negative point totals at the end of the class. He still uses the method in large classes.
