'Campus Politics Are Popularity Contests Now'
The administration should give greater powers to student government, the only cleavage between University political parties is a purely social one, and elections have degenerated into popularity contests.
These conclusions were reached Thursday night in a discussion between representatives of P.S.G.L. and Pachacamac.
Speaking before a freshman Y.M.-C.A. group, Charles Wheeler and Gene Alford, for Pachacamac, and George Caldwell and Austin Turley, for P.S.G.L., agreed that matters between the administration and the All Student Council have become a "vicious circle."
The interested elements in each party should combine to see that important measures are carried through, said Wheeler, stressing the fact that he and Alford were speaking for themselves and not the Bachacama party.
"The true distinction in campus politics," he said, "is between those interested in student government and those not interested, not between Greek and independent."
The fact is inescapable that there is social cleavage between the two parties. Turney said.
"Until now political issues on the campus haven't merited as much energy as has been wasted on them." Wheeler said.
Wheeler said. Turney added that "the rat race for office is succeeded by a lack of interest on the part of the winners in the constructive work the office demands."

Hoffman Chosen Clerk Of Student Court
Reed Hoffman, first year law student, has been appointed clerk of the student court, and persons who wish to get cases on the docket may reach him at Green hall or by phoning City 1700.
A prosecutor of the court has been named by the faculty of the School of Law but his name won't be released until the All Student Council approves the selection at its Tuesday meeting.
Students charged with violations under the jurisdiction of the student court will be notified by the Official Bulletin in the Daily Kansan and by postal card, he said.
Malcolm Miller, third year law student and chief justice, said organization of the court was nearly complete. Present plans are to meet at 7:15 p.m. each Tuesday when there are cases on the docket. Students charged may present their own cases or may ask for counsel.
The court now has no permanent meeting place except "somewhere in the law building" because the court room is being used as a library while the law library is being retamped.

'Life' Slips Up
Most Veterans' Checks To Be Here By Nov.2
Most veteran's subsistence checks will be here by Nov. 2, E. R. Elbel, veterans training bureau director, said today.
The checks will be made out to include the last ten days of September and the month of October.
An emergency loan system has been set up for those students whose checks are held up because of administrative delays. The loans will be made by the University endowment association or the Red Cross.
Only those students whose cases are termed "urgent" by the veterans office will be allowed loans, and the amount of the loan will be limited to the amount of the expected check, Professor Elbel explained.
As far as the University office knows, all applications from here cleared the regional office in Kansas City, Mo., before the deadline, Oct. 14.
"Many of the first checks will come directly to our office," Professor Elbel pointed out, "because of the time lag in getting through the proper change of address forms."
Tables will be set up in the hall outside the office in the basement of Frank Strong hall, so that veterans can fill out new change of address forms at the time they pick up their checks.
When the checks come regularly, he said, they usually will arrive on the last day of the month.
Sunday Show To Be In Kansas Room
A variety show will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas room of the Union. The show will consist of acts presented by University students sponsored by the Union Activities committee.
Sunday afternoon entertainment in the Union will be made a weekly feature, Lois Thompson, committee chairman, said today.
Popular and classical musical records will be played in the Union music room from 2 to 4 p.m. Eight bridge tables will be available in the Pine room.
