Students Give Opinions On Election Procedure
Six students were polled on the question, "How can campus elections be improved to the point where the student body feels it has been truly represented?"
On April 21 the All Student Council elections committee threw out the results of the senate and house of representatives elections along with the previously invalidated presidential and vice presidential results.
Since then the elections committee has been trying to come up with a foolproof method of running the election again—pending action by the student court. Here are comments from some of the students:
Jack Rogers, engineering sophomore: "The elections committee should make sure that there are members of both parties present at all times at each polling place. Also a group of student police, appointed by the ASC, could be assigned to check the polling places off and on during the day."
Dick Myers, graduate student: "First, I believe interested people from each party should be at the poll. Second, A clear cut decision on how the ballots will be counted should be made before the election. Third, Faculty members should be present at all times to make sure that ballots stay in the designated counting rooms."
"I believe as long as we have campus elections we should run them legally."
Bob Bradstreet, 2nd year law:
"This election problem is always present where human beings are involved. In order to prevent any corrupt practices which might occur at the polls, the prosecutor of the student court should establish a precedent and a definite policy that violators will be prosecuted.
You know the penalties already provided for are a minimum of $10 in fines and a maximum expulsion from school. Prosecution should be on an individual basis."
John Simons, college senior: "If the students could do the job right, there would be no problem. If the students can't do it themselves then the administration should feel the responsibility of seeing that the election is run correctly and every vote is counted. Every time a voter hands in a ballot it should be valid. This problem could be alleviated by replacing inexperienced poll workers with people who know what they are doing."
"KU should never have to re-run an election. It is a shame to have such a smear on candidates before they take office."
Farrel Schell, education senior:
"A ruling should be made by the ASC elections committee that if a person comes into the room to count ballots, that person should not be allowed to leave until all the ballots have been counted."
Dee Ann Smith, education junior: "First, there should be someone at each polling place who knows how the voting should be done. Secondly, the chairman of the elections committee should either be a faculty member or members from each political party.
Recreation Group Distributes Leaflet
A new guidance leaflet evaluating colleges and universities offering recreation leadership courses recently has been distributed by the National Recreation association to teachers, guidance counselors, public recreation departments, and professional workers.
Lawrence Heeb, state recreation consultant, is a member of the NRA's National Advisory committee on Recreation Personnel, which prepared the leaflet, "How to Choose the Right College for Your Career in Recreation."
Fifty colleges now offer degrees in recreation, according to Joseph Prendergast, executive director of the National Recreation association. A separate degree is not given at the University, but the program can be incorporated with the physical education major.

Washington — (U.P.)— Administration Senate leaders today claimed enough votes to defeat a determined farm block attempt to derail President Eisenhower's program of "flexible" farm price supports.
Senate Leaders Hope To Defeat Farm Block
The Senate was expected to vote early this afternoon on amendments proposed to the administration's wool support bill to extend present high level price guarantees on "basic" farm commodities and boost dairy price supports.
Sasnak to Hold Its Spring Dinner
Sasnak, organization for physical education majors, will hold its annual spring dinner at 6:30 p.m. to tomorrow in the Student Union.
Coach Charles V. "Chuck" Mather will be guest speaker. Coach Bill Easton and Mr. Floyd Temple, assistant director of athletics, will be guests.
George Michale, business senior, will sing. Wesley Whitney, education senior, is master of ceremonies.
Approval of the high level support amendment would be a sharp rebuff for Mr. Eisenhower's farm proposals. The administration has opposed extension of present rigid high supports on so-called basic crops past their expiration date on Dec. 31. It wants to switch then to a system of flexible—or sliding scale—price pegs.
Chairman George D. Alken (R-Vt.) of the Senate Agriculture committee, vigorous champion of the administration program, predicted the Senate would approve the wool bill without "damaging amendments."
Sen. Alken's prediction echoed previous statements by Senate GOP Leader William F. Knowland (Calif.) that the administration has enough votes to defeat proposals to extend high level supports.
The key amendment, sponsored by Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-Ala.) with powerful bi-partisan support, would extend through present 90 per cent of parity supports on wheat, cotton, rice, peanuts, tobacco, and corn.
