Bennington Faction Registers Officers
Somebody finally did it.
It was Barry Bennington, Cheney senior. He did it
He registered a list of officers for the KU Young Democrats in the office of the Dean of Students yesterday.
Pete Aylward, Ellsworth senior, had no plans at noon yesterday for registering a list of officers for the KU YD's.
He said he had not registered a list because of the nature of the thing . . . which is questionable.
"If either side registered, the other would oppose it," Aylward said.
He was not available for comment after it was learned that Bennington had registered a set of officers.
Both Bennington and Aylward claim election as president of the KU Young Democrats:Bennington on March 14, and Aylward on March 28.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said Tuesday that campus organizations which do not register their officers with his office are not officially recognized by the University. The dean was out of town and not available for comment this morning.
If two sets of officers are registered, the matter will be referred to the faculty adviser of the KU YD's, Dean Woodruff said. The faculty adviser is Dan Hopson Jr., associate professor of law, who recognizes neither the officers elected March 14 nor those elected March 28 because of irregularities surrounding both elections.
The names of the officers listed by Bennington are: Bennington, president; John Young, Salina first year law student, vice-president; Gloria Mays, Lyons senior, secretary; Sandra Robinson, Ellinwood senior, treasurer, and Mike Thomas, Lawrence senior, Collegiate Council representative.
Aylward mentioned a new election as a possible solution to the dispute. Members of both factions said earlier an election would be the only solution. Aylward proposed an election of provisional officers, representing both factions, to serve until March.
"Then make sure the March election is run without favoritism one way or the other," he said.
"I'm not saying I'm for it or against it (a new election)," he said. "I just say it is a possible solution."
Bennington said last week he was no longer interested in serving as an officer, but that he favored a new election.
"I'm just waiting for an election," he said yesterday.
Jo Ann Snyder, Bethesda, Md. senior and vice-president of the YD's, (elected March 28) said last week the issue would be settled "once and for all if a new election is held."
Gloria Mays, who was elected secretary on both the Bennington and Aylward slates, said, "The dispute has split the group so much that there can be no organization until a new president is elected."
Japanese Film Set For Showing Today
A Japanese language film, "Fires on the Plain," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in Hoch Auditorium. The movie, part of the University Film Series, was scheduled to be shown last Friday night. It did not arrive in time and an English film, "Lucky Jim," (scheduled for tonight) was shown instead.
Heady Coincidences for Doc FREDERICKTOWN, MO. (UPI) One doctor's patients admitted to Madison Memorial Hospital within a one-month period had last names "Hand", "Legg", "Head" and "Finger."
John Sullivan, Lawrence attorney and past president of the Kansas Association of Young Democratic Clubs, speculated an alternative.
"If things keep going like this, interested Young Democrats will form their own club. Others will fall in later," he said.
