UP Platform
(Editor's note: The following is the text of the University Party's platform for this fall's All Student Council elections.)
We, the Campus Committee of the University Party, dedicate this platform to the betterment of student government and the student body. With this platform the University Party seeks to broaden the base of student government, to enlarge its scope of interest and to create and maintain an atmosphere favorable to the free exchange of ideas and opinions. The University Party offers to each student the following:
In accordance with democratic principles, the University Party proposes that elections should be held under the direct primary system so that any candidate who so wishes may run for office. Because of a growing interest in debates between candidates the ones most versed in student government would win, not simply the most popular candidate.
Point I
rurthermore, the University Party believes that there is definite need for more time between the primary and general elections, so that candidates may orient themselves to campaigning outside their party.
Point II
In the interest of more democratic and efficient student government, the University Party contends that copies of the ASC Constitution must be distributed to all ASC members, to all political parties and to all interested students.
University Daily Kansan
Even though the Constitution has been published "in part" in the Student Directory, it does not include the recent amendments and new bills. We feel that this is unfair and definitely impedes the process of the student government. The University Party will do its utmost to distribute current copies of the constitution in total, in order to eliminate the confusion over recent bills and amendments.
Furthermore, the University Party believes that in order to facilitate committee work, chairmen and committee members should be officially notified of their appointments as early as possible. We propose that the student body vice president be responsible for the personal notification of committee members within a week after their appointment.
Point III
The University Party pledges to further encourage the nationally recognized People-to-People organization and will endeavor to insure that its potential is fulfilled by encouraging student interest. The University Party affirms the need for increased ASC financial support of this organization.
We of the University Party have always contended that the students should not limit themselves to campus problems. They should also be aware of the problems on the national and international scale. We realize that the ASC should channel its international efforts through People-to-People. We stand firmly behind committees and clubs, such as the International Club, which bring these problems to our attention. We support the creation of a current events committee to focus attention on national issues.
Point IV
Since in the past year an unfortunate display of hostility was exhibited by both the students and players at athletic events between KU and MU, we pledge our support to the possibility of a "Peace Pact" as now held between KU and K-State. We endorse the administrative stand that violence on the part of students from either Kansas University will result in their suspension from school, and believe that this position should be extended to cover our relations with Missouri.
Point V
The University Party proposes that the Associated Women Students should receive money from the University for those functions which are in the area of public relations or education, and that the AWS should continue to be supported by the ASC in all its other functions.
The University Party recognizes the prevalent traffic problem on the University Campus. Since the Chancellor has already proposed a plan to alleviate this problem within the next year, we will endeavor to see that the program selected will be the one which will best meet the needs of the student.
Point VI
Point VII
Because the present system of enrollment is both time-consuming and inconvenient, the University Party proposes to study various other methods of enrollment (including pre-enrollment) used on other campuses and to strive to find one which can be effectively used at this University in order to do away with much of the congestion at enrollment time. Furthermore, we propose to investigate methods of alleviating congestion in such matters as registration, fee payment, etc.
Point VIII
we reaffirm the need for a stop day as a day of rest between the final day of classes and the first day of final week each semester. We also wish to investigate the possibility of a "stop week" immediately preceding final week during which no term paper or tests would be due or given.

Ted Kennedy, mayor of Lawrence, said he did not see how the committee could "do any harm."
"It would serve as another avenue of communications to those making legislative decisions," he said. "I think anyone in politics would pay some attention to a group of this sort."
White House Trees
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The late President Theodore Roosevelt, an avid conversationalist, thought the cutting of evergreens for Christmas was a wasteful practice and forbade their use in the White House. He later was assured by Gifford Finchot, his adviser on conservation measures, that the supervised and proper harvesting of Christmas trees was good for the forests. Since then the White House has had a Christmas tree.
