Cook resigns second vice-chairmanship
Frank Cook, Gardner senior and KU College Republican Club (CR) second vice-chairman, submitted his resignation Monday night and it was accepted by the club executive board.
Cook's resignation follows those of John Ruth, CR chairman and former Wichita junior who has left school for health reasons and Linda Wright, Emporia sophomore and first vice-chairman who said she felt she could not handle Ruth's job.
Cook said some club members charged he was not adequately fulfilling his responsibilities as CR publicity chairman and tried to force him to resign his position.
A number of CR members reportedly opposed the allegedly reckless manner in which Cook
and Ruth allied themselves with the peace symbol in club advertising. Cook said he has resigned three times and has been impeached three times.
"The major reason we have asked for his resignation is because he hasn't upheld the purposes of the club," said Pam Hooper, Liberal junior and third vice-chairman.
"We feel he hasn't performed the duties of his elected office," said Larry Huffman, Erie senior and CR treasurer.
Interim officers were elected by the executive board to serve until the positions are filled at a special election at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 17 in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room.

Kent Frizzel blasts Docking on tax issue
Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan TOPEKA- Delegates to the Kansas College Republican Federation Resolutions Convention Saturday heard Kansas Attorney General Kent Frizzell call Governor Robert Docking "a political opportunist."
bills affecting Kansas and to make arrangements for students to testify on bills and inform students of pending bills.
Although the governor had promised that taxes would not be raised during his administration, local property taxes were increased by $41 million during the first year of his term as a result of the governor's actions, Frizzell charged.
The convention had previously passed a resolution condemning Docking for his failure to implement adequate education and highway programs. Another resolution charged that Docking had not exercised due care in picking his state appointees. The resolution pointed out that one member of the Docking administration had been charged with conflict of interest and that several others were under investigation.
Frizzell called for "meaningful" tax reform in place of what he termed Docking's opportunism. Loopholes in the tax laws should be closed, he said.
As an example of the size of this problem, he cited the fact that 49 per cent of all potential sales tax receipts are exempted from taxation.
Resolutions passed by the convention included measures calling for the abolition of the draft, establishment of black studies programs, the retention of credit for ROTC programs at state colleges, support for President Richard Nixon's position on ending the war in Vietnam, the direct election of the president and a full-time legislature for the state of Kansas.
