UP Platform
PREAMBLE
The University Party of the University of Kansas has always believed that the purpose of a campus political party should extend above and beyond the pragmatic precept of winning. In this belief, the University Party, has from its inception, followed a policy of presenting qualified candidates for election and emphasizing the positive contributions that may be made by the student and the party. The University Party consistently meets With this goal in mind, the University Party respectfully submits the following Platform:
1 STATEMENT OF POLICY
The University Party, realizing that the full cooperation of the student body is necessary to implement the aims of student government at the University of Kansas, has in the past and will in the future endorse the ideal of our students by both Greer and Green independent toward the final goal of more active and more effective, student government.
11 HUMAN RIGHTS
The University Party, realizing that the problem of human rights continues to be a pertinent issue, believes that evidence that a student has a right to be judged according to individual merit, and that discrimination infringes upon the freedom of the indi-
because the question of human rights is an individual one, the University Party believes that by the system can not be solved by the elimination of prejudice individual attitudes.
11. LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION
The University Party, realizing that the present committee is system of bureaucratic overlapping of responsibility and lack of interest, knowledge, and precedent by committee members, heartily endorses the Little Hoover Commission, similar to the effective in 1957, with the hope that the inaction of committees will be dealt with immediately. The University Party deploys the proliferation of counsel for the purpose of obvius politic patronage.
IV. CABINET SYSTEM
To have an effective administrative branch of student government, a system is needed in which existing committees are coordinated. UP therefore proposes that a student cabinet be formed to effectively work with the student body president and to oversee and coordinate the different categories of committees now exist.
V. MERIT SYSTEM OF APPOINTMENTS
V. MERIT SYSTEM OF APPOINTMENT:
The University Party will continue to support a merit system of choosing representatives on committees of the university and each appointment should be based upon scholarship and demonstrated organizational ability as opposed to the present system of political patronage.
VI. OPEN BOOKS
Such legislation was proposed last spring, but was defeated by the majority party, which supports the spoils system of governmental control.
The University Party demands that the financial books on political party expenditures be kept open in order that campaign costs be within the limits set by ASC legislation.
VIL. STADIUM SEATING
The University Party, recognizing the fact that students should be allowed the best seats in the athletic games, pledges to work with the Athletic Sitting Board to move the section now reserved for Juniors to the south side of the general admission) and thus move the sophomore and new students two sections south. University Party feels that such a move would be justice for students are staged primarily by and for the students.
VIII. STUDENT HEALTH AND PHYSICAL FITNESS
The University Party maintains an interest in the physical welfare of students as well as their intellectual welfare at KU.
UP therefore strongly recommends that the ASC encourage the administration to augment the facilities and services of Watkins Hospital in order to accommodate the students' needs in a more efficient and prompt manner.
UP also strongly recommends that the ASC encourage the administration to provide additional recreational facilities on campus in order to provide for banded intramural program and to meet the students growing needs for physical exercise.
IX. STOP WEEK
The University Party, realizing the intellectual needs of the student body, urges that there be set as a the time period for discussion between the last of regularly scheduled classes and the first day of final week each semester. Such an interim could be used by each student to prepare himself to his maximum potential for good performance in exams.
Traveler Shows Slides After Orient Experience
With an uncertain itinerary and a will to see Southeast Asia in the most educational and satisfying way, Ray Woods, El Dorado senior, went to the Orient last summer and discovered what the Peace Corps really means.
Woods, who was not a Peace Corps member, spent last summer visiting Hawaii, Thailand, South Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong and other places in order to get a
picture of the culture of Southeast Asia.
At a meeting of the Peace Corps last night in the Big 8 Room of the Kansas Union. Woods showed the slides he took last summer.
He said the role of the Peace Corps in the areas he visited was one of teacher and friend.
Woods is back at KU this year and is now a member of the Peace Corps Committee.

Faculty Members Receive Fellowships, Travel Aids
Eight fellowship grants and several travel grants are being made available to KU faculty members.
The awards are part of a $500,000 grant which KU received last July from the Ford Foundation to support training and research in international studies over a five-year period.
Four awards will be made for faculty fellowships for the summer of 1964. Each of these awards will amount to about two months' teaching salary but will not exceed $2,000. Preference will be given to faculty members below the rank of full professor; the grantee is expected to forego summer teaching.
Three to four faculty fellowships will be awarded for the academic year, 1964-65. Awards in this category will be designed to release the faculty member from teaching one
semester or to supplement other funds or grants to facilitate two semesters of research.
Faculty travel grants will be made in conjunction with the fellowships and other research by the faculty.
Requests for these grants must be made by December 15.
In addition to these grants for faculty development, Dean Heller said, the $500,000 will be used for the development of a library in international studies, further development of studies in "unusual" languages, and encouragement of new studies in the international field.
Most of the grant has not been allotted to specific projects, Dean Heller said.
The money will be appropriated as projects are proposed, he said.

SAN FRANCISCO—(UPI)—Halloween pranksters struck early at the San Francisco Hall of Justice by changing the signs on the first floor restrooms marked "men" and "women."
Janitors said yesterday the signs were back in the proper places with no harm done—so far as anyone knows.
