Road Appears Bumpy As Politicos Map Plans
By Linda Machin
With the mad pace of the All Student Council (ASC) election race over, campus political wheels have rolled to a near monotonous pace.
Nevertheless, the sluggish post-elections tempo has given both University Party and Vox Populi a chance to take an evaluative look at first semester blow outs, boos-boos, boons and blunders.
For the third consecutive semester UP is forced to take a back seat in the ASC, but it plans to do some active back seat driving.
"EVEN THOUGH UP does not control the ASC, it will, after extensive investigation, and in compliance with the platform, present several bills to the ASC," said Bob Stewart, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, and UP Greek co-chairman.
Stewart said the bills would provide for a system of appointing more competent council committee members and boosted organization of a student loan fund proposed in the UP platform.
Stewart and Nancy Lane, Hoisington senior and Independent cochairman, said these proposals would be part of a five-point "master plan" which will be presented to the UP general assembly tomorrow night.
STEWART EXPLAINED the proposed merit commission would appoint ASC members to committees on the basis of gradepoints, knowledge and experience of the committee, instead of political alignment.
In addition, the commission would call for reports and give recognition to outstanding individual council members by means of a plaque or recognition boards in Strong Hall.
Another bill will propose that the ASC sponsor a concert or social event to raise money for the student loan fund.
"EVEN THOUGH the ASC has no direct control in the student Loan program, it should do its part to help acquire the funds," said Stewart.
As part of the student political education campaign (SPEC), UP's master plan calls for a mock political convention and for more well-informed speakers at forums.
Stewart said by "well-informed" speakers he meant such persons as state legislators.
Other points of the UP "master plan" include expansion of the UP
general assembly and regular reports on ASC and party caucuses. Large living groups, (over 150) will have three instead of two representatives to the UP assembly by revision of UF's constitution.
The UP mechanic is not the only one looking over the mechanical make-up of the ASC car and his constitutional road map with a skeptical eye. Vox Populi drivers, too, will make some mechanical repairs and constitutional road map revisions.
"WE ALSO PLAN," he said, "to make party house memberships available to small living groups with limited activities budgets. Bloc dues would be proportioned to house size."
Brian Grace, Lawrence junior and executive vice-president of Vox, said. "The Vox constitution is primarily outdated. For instance, house membership dues and the structure of the party's executive committee are no longer correct."
ROGER WILSON, Wichita senior and president of Vox," said "We are going to carry out a careful evaluation of the recent campaigns and ASC election turnouts and results. We'll have reports from each voting district to find where our strength and weakness lie."
Both parties meet tomorrow night in the Kansas Union at 7:30.
UP CANDIDATES won more ASC seats in this November's election than in last Spring's elections, but UP still remains the minority. However, if UP were to shift into second gear or third gear, what would happen? Could front and back seats be changed?
The Civil Rights Council (CRC) will meet tonight to discuss the CRC's role at the weekend CORE meeting being held at Missouri University.
Civil Rights Council Will Discuss CORE
Two CRC representatives will be sent and their report will influence a possible decision concerning CRC affiliation with CORE.
The CRC meeting will be at 7:30 in the Union.
ASC Committees Are Unsure of Jobs
The student body vice-president said last night All Student Council committees can act in an advisory capacity to their respective faculty advisers.
George Hahn, Scotch Plains, N.J. senior, spoke at an ASC executive committee meeting.
Hahm's opinion came in response to a question from Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior and chairman of the ASC calendar committee.
Whitman said he talked with James K. Hitt, registrar, but had not been able to find out anything. Hitt is responsible for most of the calendar planning at the University.

Hahm suggested committee members keep in "constant" contact with the faculty advisers and try to encourage them to consider the committees' opinions.
Jack Croughan, Novato, Calif., junior and chairman of the housing committee, said he did not know what his committee had done in past years because no one had kept a file of their activities, "probably because the committee has done nothing."

Khrushchev and Tito Confer In 'Little Summit'
MOSCOW — (UPI) Yugoslav President Josip Bzito Tito and Soviet Premier Khrushchev hunted and talked at a lodge outside Moscow today, possibly reviewing their common dispute with Communist China in a "little summit" meeting.
Tito arrived in Moscow yesterday by train, amid a new outpouring of anti-Yugoslav propaganda attacks from Red China.
He and Khrushchev left the Soviet capital shortly thereafter and Yugoslav sources said only that the two had gone for a day of hunting.
It appeared certain, however, that the burly Communist chiefs, whose two nations appear to be currently on the best terms since Khrushchev came to power, would range over virtually all Soviet-Yugoslav and international problems.
But both Tito and Khrushchev, in trainside welcoming speeches here yesterday, said they were looking to their political talks as a means of strengthening the ties between their nations.
Chief among them, it was believed, would be the question of Communist China, whose open animosity toward both Khrushchev and Tito is believed to be one of the factors in the current Soviet-Yugoslav friendship campaign.
The talks are expected to con-

tinue here for several days after which Tito will visit Leningrad, Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) and Kiev.
It was not the first time that Khrushchev and Tito have used hunting excursions for political talks.
They did so also in 1956 when each took his vacation in the other's country.
