Platform is peace
Male chosen as queen candidate
The election for Military Ball Queen candidate from Oliver Hall resulted in the election of a rather unorthodox candidate.
A group of Oliver residents conducted an intensive write-in campaign for Bill Snifflin, Lenwood freshman, to "protest the military establishment at KU." Snifflin received 78 of the 312 votes, and was the numerical winner over six female candidates.
David Gordan, Sioux City, Iowa, freshman, and spokesman for Sniffin's supporters, said his victory was "an indication of the sentiment of the silent majority at KU."
"We didn't do this as a joke.
We just wanted to in some way
protest the presence of the military on this campus," Gordan said.
Gordan said signs had been posted in Oliver advertising Sniffin as the "peace candidate."
Sniffin said at first he thought the attempt was a joke. But he said later he saw some value in the movement.
Gordan wasn't sure if the voters for Sniffin considered the nomination a joke. "I can't say why they voted for Bill, but I'm sure some of them voted for him as a peace candidate," Gordan said.
Gordan said Sniffin would move aside for the female candidate who received the most votes. Gordan explained that Sniffin couldn't continue his campaign because of physical qualifications.
Blood, Sweat, Tears will give KU concert
Blood, Sweat and Tears, the nine-piece brass band that recorded "Spinning Wheel" and "You Made Me So Very Happy," will appear Dec. 2 in Hoch Auditorium.
Warren Harrell, Lawrence senior and Student Union Activities (SUA) concert chairman, said the SUA Winter Concert would consist of a 7 p.m. and a 9:30 p.m. performance.
Mail surveys find new jobs
Preliminary reports from a project begun by Clifford D. Clark, dean of the School of Business, show many challenging and rewarding job opportunities for business majors.
Clark said mail surveys were used to discover unusual opportunities for graduates. Small group meetings of businessmen, students and professors were conducted to exchange information and ideas on business education. The meetings were designed to convince businessmen that students are interested in small enterprises despite the risks involved.
"The problem of business, Clark said, "is not so much one of improving its image with college students, but one of communicating with them."

Tickets will be on sale after Nov. 17 for $3, $3.50 and $4 each, Harrell said. They may be purchased at the Kansas Union, the Jayhawk Boulevard information booth, Kief's, Richardson's, Bell's and the Sound.
Each member of the group is an accomplished musician, Harrell said.
"Some of them play two or three instruments," he said, creating the versatility of a much larger band."
Organized by David Clayton-Thomas, lead-vocalist and song writer, members of the group formerly performed with symphonic orchestras, jazz bands and rock groups such as the Blues Project and the Buffalo Springfield.
Clayton-Thomas summarized their goals. "We want to bring to our audiences, an awareness of music as an intellectual stimulation, not just as a groin stimulation.
"Rock has degenerated to the point where you're supposed to come to a concert and become an animal. Our thing is to come to a rock concert to listen to some good music and be cool and dig it," he said.
