Politicos Hit Hard As Elections Near
The large dining hall seemed to dwarf the handful of students scattered about the room.
At a table near the far end of the hall sat two students, one a candidate for the All Student Council.
As he began to address the group, a few more students shuffled in.
FOUR OF HIS FELLOW party members were seated randomly about the room.
The candidate explained why his party should be supported.
The candidate opened the meeting to questions. Several hands instantly shot into the air.
"WHAT'S MORE," he continued,
"independents have more representation in my party than in the other party. In the other party the Greeks have two representatives and the dorms have two. In our party, each dorm has 3 representations and each Greek house has only one. This is three times the representation of the other party."
One student asked, "Why are these other guys from your party here? I thought this was going to be a debate between yourself and the other candidate living here."
He said, "My party has more to offer independents than the other party. I discovered that the other party hasn't done much in line with its very flowery platform."
THE CANDIDATE REPLied,
"Well I'm here. Since the other candidate isn't I guess you can see his interest."
Another student asked, "Why hasn't your party taken a stand on the NSA issue?"
"Well, my vote on this issue will depend on the desire of the majority of the people in my district," he answered.
Interrupting the candidate a third student remarked, "We don't want to know what you might do after being elected. We want to know how you feel now, then we'll decide if we want to elect you."
HE CONFESSED, "Personally I can't see that the committee has done much for KU and its liberal policies certainly don't reflect the KU students' attitude."
"Student apathy is what destroyed NSA as far as I'm concerned," one student said.
A number of students laughed.
"Yes, that's probably true," the candidate said. "But there's not much you can do about student apathy."
A number of students plugged.
Turning to one of the planks his party supports, the candidate commented, "Our proposal to investigate the elimination of fees for scholarship hall and residence hall parking lots will directly affect you."
A STUDENT BROKE IN, "But the $4 we pay for parking fees will be difficult to eliminate since this money is going to pay off the debt on the paving of the parking lot. At least this is what Mr. Wilson of the Housing Office told us."
The candidate said that they (his party) had also talked with Mr. Wilson and apparently they had been given different information.
34th Discoverer Up in A-OK Shot
VANDENBURG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — (UFI) The 34th Discoverer satellite hurled into space around the earth's poles was in "near nominal orbit" today according to Air Force tracking devices.
The 25-foot long satellite, the space-research workhorse for the United States, was launched yesterday in what the Air Force termed "a real clean shot."
EACH ROCKET STAGE functioned as expected in clear, summerlike weather.
The nose of the 1,700-pound satellite carried an instrument capsule which scientists hoped to retrieve over the Pacific Ocean within a maximum of four days.
Nine Discoverer capsules have been recovered, including six that were snatched in flight by snare-trailing airplanes. Three others were fished from the sea.
THE AIR FORCE DID not disclose the contents of the 300 pound, gold plated capsule launched yesterday.
Twenty-two of the 34 Discoverers launched have orbited.

Auto Crash Involves 35 Cars. No Deaths
That was the plea of the patrolman who first arrived on the scene yesterday of a 35-car pileup on the Riverside freeway.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — (UPI) — "Send all the ambulances you've got; everywhere I look there are injured."
A total of 8 tow trucks, 26 police and California Highway Patrol units
and 8 ambulances answered the call.
Officers said a November heat wave which caused a churning sand storm apparently caused the giant crackup. It was estimated at least 40 persons were injured—six of them seriously.
No fatalities were reported.
