Miss Doris Fleeson, a noted and articulate newspaper columnist who spoke here a week ago, voiced the opinion that most people have not as yet decided how they will vote on Nov. 4. The same sentiment has been expressed by a number of other commentators and writers, one estimating that one-third of the voters are still in a state of indecision.
One probable reason for this situation is that the voters are faced with fogged issues, beclouded by the emphasis placed on personalities, private incomes, and soap-opera histrionics as practiced by one vice presidential candidate.
Considering the importance of the coming election and its ultimate consequences in the years ahead, it behooves every citizen to restrain his emotional tendencies and concentrate on the important issues of the time.
It would seem that one of the candidates at least, is more intent on evading the issues instead of facing them. Under the circumstances, however, his position is understandable, when the observer realizes that he must straddle two diverse philosophies of foreign policy, and counter-current conceptions of domestic policy.

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
This is an honest effort to tell the truth about some confusing aspects of the freshman election.
According to reliable reports, deals have been made by a student political party whereby the freshman vice president will be "given" to Corbin and the position of secretary-treasurer will be "given" to North College, while the frosh presidency is to be reserved for a male member of that party.
Such "fixing" seems clearly unfair and not in the best interests of democratic student government.
As a representative of FACTS, let me say that no such deals will be tolerated in our party. Any freshman from any residence or scholarship hall, fraternity, or private home is welcome to join FACTS and run for any office in
the primaries.
A vicious rumor which needs to be killed immediately is that membership in FACTS party interferes with pledging. FACTS members include many pledges and actives in social fraternities and sororities. We maintain that the so-called Greek-Independent split is strictly a myth.
It is sincerely hoped that these facts will serve to clarify the minds of any confused freshmen.
Dennis Henderson college junior.

Women Independents Still Need Housing
University students are proud of their alma mater, and prouder still when facilities surpass or even equal other schools and colleges in the country.
Although students at KU can be proud of a great many things, there is one area which presents a shameful problem. That problem is the inadequate housing for upperclass women independent students.
Last week Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced plans for the building of four dormitories in the next academic year, as the beginning of a 10-year student housing problem.
The current year's schedule calls for two 100-man units, and a scholarship dormitory for 50 women and a 100-woman addition to North College and Corbin halls. But this will not meet the current problem.
Freshman women have been provided with the best University housing on the campus, yet immediate plans are being made to enlarge facilities for freshmen, instead of coping with the larger and more pressing problem of upperclass women's dormitories.
After one year of "good" living, the freshhman women will live in University residence halls. They are not content to live in the crowded conditions and inadequate housing which exists; so far this year there have been many complaints from sophomore women, as well as juniors and seniors.
Occupants of upperclass women's residence halls are paying the same rent, as are girls in North College and Corbin halls. Yet, in these dormitories space is at a minimum, and many, many facilities are much inferior to the freshman dormitories.
Even though residence halls have such disadvantages, students are expected to pay the regulation $22 every six weeks for a third or fourth of a room. At this rate, the University is obtaining $88 or $66 from a single room, more than a private home receives, every six weeks. The rent from a single residence hall, housing 25 girls, is $550 for a six-week period.
When considering such an amount it seems likely that there is some money left over. Yet, where does this surplus go? Prices are high and there might not be a surplus; and even then, the University is subsidized by the state. At any rate, no new and adequate dormitories are being built or provided in the near future for upper-class women, and very little repairing is being done or has been done.
At the end of each school year a list is requested from every residence hall concerning suggested repairs and replacement of furniture. In one instance, such a list contained suggestions from new beds and mattresses to spraying for bugs. This fall, the only improvement was several pieces of new living room furniture. A beautiful addition for the guest portion of the house, but very little help to the studying and sleeping quarters of the student.
