'Up With UP' Is New Party Slogan
"Up with UP" is the official motto of the newly-formed University Party.
Over 1,000 KU students have signed petitions favoring the formal organization of a second campus political party.
The petitions now rest with the ASC elections committee which will check the names and report at the next regular council meeting on May 17.
Two general membership and organization meetings have been held thus far to confirm interest in organizing the University Party.
LINDA SCIFERS, Pittsburg sophomore, expresses the interest shown this way:
"There is a definite and obvious need for a two-party system on this campus. I feel that there is a general dissatisfaction, not only with the one-party system but with the Vox party system.
"The University Party is an answer and a solution to the question of dissatisfaction." she said.
Vox Populi is now the only organized political party on the campus. The Vox party almost tallied a clean sweep of offices in the last election. Fred Morrison, Colby senior, was the only exception.
UP FOUNDERS are trying a new form of inner-party organization. According to the constitution of the party, the main party body will be composed of two members from every organized house (15 per cent UP membership among the residents will constitute classification as an organized house), all student council members and student body officers who are members of the party and two representatives from every student council recognized living district. The main body will be called the "general assembly." This general body will conduct matters of party policy, campaign platform and nominees.
Students Receive Geology Awards
Eleven KU students were presented honorary awards at the annual Geology Club meeting to honor outstanding geology students last week.
Frank Foley, chairman of the geology department, presented the Haworth awards to James Sorauf, Wauwatosa, Wis., and Don Bebout, Lawrence, Ph.D. candidates; Robert Walton, Kansas City, Kan., and W. Richard Gordon, Salem, Mass., master degree candidates; and Gary Hackett, Newton, and Dennis Hayes, Washington, undergraduate senior candidates.
The Phillips Petroleum Company fellowship went to Larry Adams, Kansas City, Kan., senior. The Shell Oil Company fellowship was awarded to Don Owen, Lawrence graduate student.
Douglas Webb, Iola senior, was presented the Tarr award.
Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary geology society, sponsored two book awards which were given to Walton and James Synder, Lawrence graduate students.

The executive committee within the "general assembly" will be known as the "campus committee". This committee will consist of two co-chairman and six members to be elected by the general assembly.
"If several houses wish to pull out of Vox in favor of the new party we could be hurt."
Fred Morrison, prime author of the University Party constitution, savs of the party's aims:
"The University Party aim is to give voters a choice at the next election. Only with another party on the ballot can we have real democracy in student government.
JACK ROBERTS. Kansas City sophomore and newly-elected president of Vox Populi, agreed last night with Miss Scifers that a new party is needed;
"The campus should have two parties. The creation of a new party always creates excitement. Of course, it's hard for us to say, 'welcome, gang.'"
WILL THE CREATION of a new party hurt Vox's strength? Roberts had this reply:
Individual membership to the party will cost 10 cents. House membership will be $7.50 per semester.
Roberts did not voice a direct opinion as to the new party's potential success or failure:
"The UP hopes to submit the most qualified candidate at the next election. Of course, our first problem is official recognition."
"Their (UP's) chances depend upon their organization and continued interest," he said.
PHYLLIIS WERTZBERGER, Lawrence sophomore and one of the Greek representatives in the party formulating committee, expressed hope for ASC approval:
There will be a panel of four speakers Participation especially invited from the floor
"We've done everything according to All-Student Council rules. Now to wait for the outcome of the ASC meetings."
Coffee and dancing

Cheerleaders Announced
The names of eight varsity and six reserve cheerleaders for next year were announced last night by the All-Student Council Traditions Committee.
Kirk Cottingham, Newton junior, was elected by the new squad to serve as head cheerleader.
Varsity members are: Peggy Shank, Hiawada sophomore and Jay Janes representative; Sharon Zimmerman, Lawrence senior; Judy Kulowski, St. Joseph, Mo., freshman; Barbara Schmidt, Kansas City freshman; Cottingham; Bruce Bee, Mission sophomore and KuKu representative Charles Debus, Herington sophomore; and Conrad Nagel, Kansas City, Mo., freshman.
The reserve staff includes; Linda Beeman, Topeka sophomore; Myra Anderson, Kansas City sophomore; Beth Trickett, Omaha, Nebr., freshman; Jack Cannon, Merriam freshman; Winston Cochrane, Kansas City, Mo., freshman; and Mike Cory, Wichita freshman.
More than 30 cheerleader aspirants attended four training school practices conducted by this year's cheerleading staff before last night's final tryouts before the Traditions Committee.
Student Court Rules
The Student Court held its final official session last night. The Court heard six cases all dealing with the appeal of traffic tickets.
The Court ruled against the appeal of traffic tickets on the basis that the cases were not in their jurisdiction in the cases of the University of Kansas against Mrs. Barbara Miller, Lawrence, and Robert Dall, Omaha, Neb., senior.
Cuban Union Seizes Anti-Castro Newspaper
Gordon Ryan, Lawrence second-year law student, and S. Wesley Jackson, technical assistant in biology, were granted the appeals of their traffic tickets by the Court.
HAVANA — (UPI) — Cuban Union members today seized control of the Diario de La Marina, Cuba's oldest newspaper and an outspoken critic of the regime of Premier Fidel Castro.
The seizure left only one other independent newspaper, Presna Libre, which has dared to criticize the Castro government.
At the same time, the semi-official newspaper Revolution carried a new attack on the United States. In an "extra" edition, Revolution carried a charge by the University Students Federation that the United States is planning a "direct and armed attack on the Cuban people."
Revolucion used a five and one half inch bannerline on the front page and inch-high type in the body of the story. The headline said: "The United States is ready for aggression against Cuba announces F.E.U."
It said the U.S. Embassy in Havana is printing posters carrying a picture of the American flag and signed by ambassador Philip Bonsal
announcing that the building or place where the poster is displayed is U.S. property or occupied by Americans and "under the protection of the United States embassy."
The F.E.U. statement said such notices are "only explainable in case of war."
The U.S. embassy had no immediate comment, but diplomatic sources noted that the posters were the type usually associated with general evacuation plans for Americans from a country. They recalled that the U.S. embassy distributed such posters and evacuated American nationals to the United States by air and sea immediately after the overthrow of Fulgenici Batista in Jan., 1959.
Kanzas Is Spelled Right
TOPEKA, Kan. — (UPI)— Some authorities claim that the name of the state of Kansas is spelled incorrectly and that the proper spelling is K-a-n-z-a-s. The Indian name means "People of the South Wind."
