Independents Form Party
(Continued from Page 1.1) dependents hope to achieve their rightful position in campus politics and in campus society.
"It is time for independents to be freed from the stagnant leadership of the Greeks. It is time for them to be represented."
The organization of the new independent party has proceeded secretly since the first of the semester. The organizers wanted to become solidly entrenched before making an announcement.
Turner said:
"We feel we are out of the woods. Our membership consists of representatives from each dormitory and
New Espresso Shop Wants Beatniks
By Thomas Hough
Another local espresso shop opened last night, and its co-owners are looking for "beatniks."
One of the owners, Lee Stone, is sporting a newly-unshaved chin. He said that he is not sure what a "beatnik" is or if there are any "beatniks" around.
"I think that every person has some beatnik qualities, even people that you would never think are beatniks because of outside appearances. We are trying to provide a place that will bring out the beatnik in every individual," he explained.
Owner Sings Folk Songs
Mr. Stone, who has sung folk songs and ballads in espresso houses in Kansas City, divides his time between serving customers and strumming a guitar. He also likes to talk to the customers.
The other owner, Angelo Garcia,
has sung jazz all over the country.
He trots from the kitchen to the
lounge and back again, singing as
he prepares cafe espresso and sand-
wiches.
He said he would like to talk to the customers too, but he can be-

cause he is so busy. He also mentioned that he learned to cook in the army.
"But don't say that, or we won't get a veteran to come near here," he said.
The partners say that they moved to Lawrence because they have always wanted to operate their own coffee shop.
"Can you think of a better way to make a living? We're completely independent, and there is no more interesting place in the world than a coffee shop.
Best Wav To Work
The group is holding a caucus tomorrow night to elect party officers and appoint committee memberships.
The two women co-owners of another cafe espresso shop, which opened Sunday, report that they have many customers but are disappointed because no unescorted women have dropped in "to sip and chat."
Want Unescorted Women
Mrs. Jan Conley and Mrs. Jean Randozza pointed out:
"This is a coffee shop, not a tavern or pool hall. In every place we have been before, there were always a lot of unescorted women," they said.
Walter C. Bauer, Bonner Springs junior and one of the organizers of the party, said the party is planned to be more than a political organization.
"This is starting as a political party but if we can be successful we want to expand it to include other facets of independent living. Even if we aren't successful as a political party we would still like to extend it, even if it isn't through politics," Brauer said.
Other party organizers are Larry G. Ehrlich, Russell junior; Marvin R. Lappin, Tonganoxie junior; Jack D. Salmon, Elkhart junior, and Francis H. Lohman, Sioux City, Iowa, freshman.
With the Independent party bidding for political laurels, the campus has returned to the two-party system. The folding of the Allied Greek-Independent (AGI) party in mid-October left only Vox Populi in the running for the coming election.
Pachacamac party dominated campus politics for 42 years, before splitting in mid-1954 into AGI and POGO (Party of Greek Organizations). POGO collapsed in the spring of 1956.
POGO followers, however, later formed Vox Populi which soundly defeated AGI in 1957 and smashed it again in the spring 1958 elections.

KENOSHA, Wis. —(UPI)— Wisconsin Gov. Gaylord Nelson stopped a truck driver and asked directions when he became lost while driving to a highway dedication.
"You don't look like Bill Stratton to me," the truck driver said after Nelson identified himself as the governor.
Nelson had driven 10 miles into Illinois where the governor is William G. Stratton.
