RELAXING BEFORE THE PRIMARIES—The four candidates for the presidency of the All Student Council took a moment to relax from campaigning Tuesday, while their thoughts no doubt centered on today's primary elections for FACTS and Pachacamac. Left to right, they are Frank Norris, business junior, and William Wilson, engineering junior, both candidates running in the Pachacamac primary; Donald Dirks and William Nulton, college juniors, running in the FACTS primary. One candidate will be chosen from each party to run in the general election. Wednesday, April 9.-Kansan photo by Jack Long.

ASC Orders Closed Primary For Pach
Three actions with bearing on today's primary elections and general elections Wednesday, April 9, were taken Tuesday by All Student Council.
Pachacamac, Greek political party, was told again that only students who could produce evidence at the polls of party membership could vote in the Pach primary.
A resolution forwarded by Pachacamac to allow any student a vote in its primary was defeated by a Council vote of 10-7.
A resolution to punish any group which forces its members to vote in general elections was passed, 13-9.
Discussion on the three actions was fast and furious at the primary election eve meeting of the group.
(Monday, Pachacamac announced that their party members would not carry party identification in order to vote in today's election.)
After a report from the elections committee on the setup of today's election, James Logan, ASC president, told Pach members that their "publicity trick" printed in Monday's Kansan would do them no good.
William Wilson, Pach candidate for ASC presidency, defended the Pachacamac stand, saying: "We want to let all students vote in our primary."
Logan told him that "only party members could vote according to the
Murphy Asks Return Of Stolen Equipment
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy issued a plea today for the return of the equipment stolen from a city firetruck during the impromptu car rally Monday night.
"Until that equipment is returned the city firetruck is virtually useless. The city has utilized makeshift equipment until it will be removed. We only hope that it will be soon," Dr. Murphy said.
An axe, two fire extinguishers,
a helmet, a four-and-one-half-
inch intake on the pumper, a two-
and-one-half-inch outlet and a
gasoline cap were taken from the
truck. The loss of these items
amounts to $150.
amounts to $100.
ASC constitution," and advise Pach to abide by this ruling.
Wilson countered: "In that case, Pachacamac wants to announce that it is an all-campus political party with membership for all who so desire."
"If you don't abide by the ASC ruling, you can't be a campus party." Logan snapped.
Wilson answered that Pachacamac hadn't had time to go out on the campus and solicit membership. ...
"Work on reorganization has kept both parties busy all semester," he said.
Don Hull, college senior, reminded Pachacamac that the amendment requiring party primaries was passed Nov. 6, and Pachacamac had had plenty of time to make necessary changes in its party.
"Women at North College will naturally want to vote for some of their friends who are running on the Pachacamac ticket in the primaries," they said. "This ruling means no woman at North College will be eligible to vote on the Pach primary candidates," they added.
Tom White, head of the Pachacamac elections committee, asked the Council: "If Pach declares that all women in North College and Corbin halls are members of Pach, is that enough identification?"
Logan told Pachacamac that the ruling did not have that purpose in mind, and that any woman from North College hall who could show party membership at the polls could vote, just as any other student.
Pachacamac leaders saw the rule requiring a show of party membership at the primaries as a move to force more women from North College hall women.
Chester Lewis, second year law, answered: "Membership in a group implies utility on the part of those who rises the member, and the group itself."
No new decision was reached on the question, and the argument ceased.
Lewis questioned whether all women in these halls wanted to belong to Pach-NOW party.
The action on punishing any groups which force their members to vote in elections was put in the form of a resolution in order that it would be in effect for the general elections today. A bill before the
ASC requires at least three weeks' consideration before it becomes effective.
The resolution imposes a minimum fine of $10 for any infraction.
Wilson moved a resolution that Pachacamac-NOW have an open primary in order to permit freshman women to vote in the Pach primary.
He was asked by Robert Casad, former ASC member, if anyone voting in the Pach primary would be a "duly qualified member of Pach by placing his vote." Wilson answered "Yes, if he so desires."
A vote of each ASC member showed the proposition was defeated with members voting along party lines.
The Council appointed Don Hull to replace Donald Dirks, college junior, as head of the ASC elections committee.

In spite of losing to the Peoria Caterpillar Diesels 62-60 in the finals of the Olympic trials, seven Jayhawkers are assured of the right to go to the Olympics in Helsinki. Finland this summer by virtue of their victory over LaSalle Monday night.
Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen named five seniors—John Keller, Bill Lienhard, Bill Hougland, Clyde Lovette, and Bob Kenney—and two juniors—Dean Kelley and Charlie Hoag—to go to Helsinki.
Sports announcers and writers, coaches and fans have called this Kansas squad the greatest collegiate team of all time. It proved itself the top basketball team in the league and a terrific comeback to beat the LaSalle Explorers in the college finals (final-finals of the Olympic trials).
With the chips down, Clyde Lovellette turned in a really great performance to undermine the Explorers' best efforts. Clyde poured in 40 points, getting 16 in each the second and fourth quarters.
The Jayhawkers almost proved themselves the top amateur team in the nation as they roared back from a 14 point deficit to gain a 60-60 tie with 30 seconds left in the Olympic trials championship game with Peoria.
After Peoria had put the ball in play following Dean Kelley's game tying basket. Lovellette stole the ball and went the length of the floor for a lay-up. Peoria recovered the ball and Howey Williams pumped in a clutch basket with five seconds remaining to bring Peoria the national amateur championship.
Some fans rallied in Lawrence after the game. The rally was small, however, in comparison to the one Monday after KU-clinched its right to send seven players to the Olympics.
During the Monday night rally part of the surface of Massachusetts street was damaged, flower beds on the KU campus were torn up, nails were marred by tire marks "Uncle Tom" were marched was painted again, and bonfires were lit in front of the Eldridge hotel, the Granada theater, and the city hall.
Heavy Vote For Pachacamac-NOW As Party Ignores Closed Primary
Pachacamac-NOW poll workers were making the recent ASC ruling on closed party primaries look ridiculous this morning as Pach and FACTS held their 1952 party primaries.
Despite the fact that the ASC Tuesday affirmed a previous ruling that voters in the primary must present party membership identification, Pach - NOW poll workers were permitting students to vote by only showing their student ID cards.
Results of this action were apparent in the recording of voting by 11 a.m. Pach was rolling up a 6 to 1 margin over FACTS voting at no three voting booths; main air, Strontium, and basement Fraser hall, and basement, Strong hall. Voting booths will remain open until 6 p.m.
Voting was heaviest at Strong hall, where 154 students had voted, 132 for Pach. 22 for FACTS.
Pach rolled up a 45 to 10 margin at the Union, and a 59 to 25 margin at Fraser in the morning voting.
A discrepancy was discovered on the Pach ballot, as the name Bob Swaim appeared instead of Rod
The names of Charles Hong, business junior, and Walter Rickel, pharmacy junior, appeared on the Pachacamac ballot. They were mistakenly omitted from the list of candidates in Tuesday's Kansan.

This primary election is a history maker in KU campus politics, as it is the first time more than one party has held a primary. In last year's inaugurated the practice of holding primaries before the general election.
Another new feature is the squad of ASC election police which will be patrolling polling booths at all hours. Thirty students comprise the police. They are empowered to enforce all ASC election rules.

The police are to remove any persons committing infractions of election rules from the vicinity of the
