The Silent Campaign
The campaign for student body president began Wednesday night for two of the candidates. The School of Engineering seems to hold the only students who are interested in the election.
The candidates are probably waiting for someone else to arrive before the first move.
Many people are wondering why Sen. George McGovern announced his candidacy so early a year before the New Hampshire primary. That's the other end of the pole. The candidates now have only one chance to win the election. It is time for them to move.
Perhaps the candidates are running a new style of campaign. If the average
student has heard anything from the candidates, they have been in different places during the past few weeks than I have been.
There are issues on this campus that need to be discussed. The candidates are apparently not discussing them, at least to any sizable number of students.
The students should have the chance to know their candidates. They have not had the chance to see them.
How can we hope to avoid having an apathetic student body if our candidates for president are so apathetic about their own election?

State Missing Revenue
The walls of the Kansas Legislature chambers are again echoing with wailing and gnashing of teeth concerning the action of Kansans' morals and decency.
This time the issue is legalized bingo and a lottery. The forces of moral decency have again risen to the occasion, providing Kansans with another stream of absurdities reminiscent of the liquor by the drink hassle.
Why don't Kansans start facing the realities of the 20th century? Maybe they refuse to believe that gambling of all kinds is going on in Kansas. It's here; it's not going to stop, no matter what law enforcement measures are taken.
So why not channel money that is now spent illegally for gambling into the state census?
New York is a good example of what can be accomplished by taking advantage of the desire to gamble. Revenue from the state lottery puts millions of dollars into the state's educational programs each year. Bingo is licensed, and many bingo parlers are operated by, believe it or not, churches. What bingo money is not taken by the state or given as prizes goes to charity. Bingo games in one county nets local charities about $80,000 in a four month period last year,
Kansas is now in a serious financial crisis. Increased taxes and budget cuts are the major problem.
It is time both legislators and the public realize that Kansans are going to gamble with their money, whether it is legal or not.
If persons want to spend their money that way, the state should acknowledge the desire and take advantage of the possible benefits for the whole state.
—Ted Iliff
Marching Season Begins
Wednesday brought the first sign of the warmth of coming spring. Today may also bring a sign of the coming spring

With the warmth comes the marches, they invite each other. Today's march should be an example for the rest of our marches during the rest of this semester.
As long as the march stays peaceful it is a good sign. Remember the plan for the next strike. The next strike was supposed to grow a day longer each month. If that plan had been
Nixon could probably halt most demonstrations by not increasing the war during the spring. Snow and sleet are not conducive to demonstrations.
It's a good thing to march against the war every once in a while to let the public know we are still against it. But let's keep it peaceful and the results will be better.

Quickie Campaign Questions
1. What are the first three things you would do if elected?
(Editor's Note: The following questions have been composed by a committee of concerned students headed by KU law student and state legislator Paul Hess. The questions are designed to be general in hopes of forcing the candidate to expose his own priorities and thoughts on an issue rather than framing his response around a bias he may detect from the questioner or the audience. Use them and then listen to the candidate. Demand a clear response. Consider what your own response might be.)
2. Should there be a runoff election if no candidate receives a majority in the voting for student body president or vice president?
3. Do you feel the student body president and vice-president should continue to receive salaries of $1200 per year paid from student fees?
4. Do you favor positive steps to correct imbalances in regard to race and sex?
5. Should a student senator's responsibility be primarily directed to his individual school or to the University as a whole?
6. Should the Senate take stands on political and moral issues beyond the KU community?
7. Given massive student demands to suspend normal campus functions, how would you respond realizing that such student activity would violate Board of Regents policy?
8. If you were student body president, would you articulate stands on the issues or lead by consensus?
9. What do you feel is the most effective way to handle public relations with the people of Kansas, the legislature, the Regents, and the Lawrence community?
10. Do you think 50 per cent student representation is a University goal?
12. Should the Student Senate allocate funds next year for Homecoming and, if so, for what type of program and why?
11. What criteria should the Student Senate follow in recognizing student groups and allocating student funds?
3. Who should take the initiative in promoting educational progress and how should they proceed?
15. How do you envision the University five years from now?
16. Generally speaking, do you feel the future lies ahead?
4. Is an academic strike a valid and effective means of protest?

The "disrupters" present had gained the impression from a previous Kansan article that they organized an annual organization meeting. The SDS leadership claimed that their "democratic" meeting was to be a closed session, only for those hand-picked to formulate SDS leadership. This led to the perversion of the democratic process and a mockery of the name these people claim for their organization. Far from being the ones we tacitly were in the best tradition of participatory democracy.

An Aardvark Reply, Elections, Landlords
To the editor:
We of the Aardvark Liberation front feel that we must protest the Kansan's unfair reporting of our representatives at Sundaram and the SDS. The Kansan's article seems to state that the sole purpose of our attendance at the conference is to counter the contrary, our intentions were to examine the published platform of the SDS in the pure light of its nature, to alternative views, and attempt to reform the organization from within. Any organization which welcomes "democratize" should fortunately, this attempt at meaningful communication was rebuffed by the unreasoning of the oldline SDS spokesmen.

Although Senate Bill No. 3 does not provide for a means of prompt return of a deposit on termination of a lease, I suggest that the maximum of ten days delay in the return of a deposit. The return of a deposit is often delayed one to two months, which creates a hardship if another deposit is required for the new residence.
A similar bill was introduced in the last session of the Kansas Legislature and was defended. Please support Senate Bill No. 3 by joining the State Senate, Topeka, Kansas, and expressing your sentiment.
