Phil Harrison, Colby, is the new president of the freshman class.
By Murrel W. Bland
Jim Clark, Olathe; Kay Consolver and Jim Banks, both of Wichita, were elected vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively.
It was a clean sweep for the four candidates who ran together as a group in the primary and the general elections. Their platform was the promotion of closer activities between the Froshawks and the freshman class itself.
ABOUT 1.100 freshmen, which is more than one-third of the class, turned out to vote in the general election.
Three of the new officers are members of Greek houses. Harrison is a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity; Banks, Phi Kappa Tau; and Clark, Delta Chi. Miss Consoliver lives at an independent dormitory, Corbin Hall.
ALL WINNING candidates had experience in student government in high school. Harrison was president of the student council. Clark was on the student council for three years and Miss Consolver was student council clerk for two years. Banks was on the student council for one year.
After hearing the results, Harrison commented, "I appreciate all the support I was given in the election ... I'll try my best to do a good job."
Losing candidates for president were Jim DeGrand, St. Louis, Mo. Reuben McCornack, Abilene and Mike Smith, Bartlesville, Okla.
Merry Moore, Raytown, Mo.; Jim Tharp, Great Bend, and Lee Ayres, Wichita; were the losing vice president candidates.
Beverly Enna, Kansas City, Mo.; Wendy Wilkerson, Wichita and Dena Scavuzzo, Harrisonville, Mo., were the losing candidates for secretary.
Losing candidates for treasurer were Joyce Neaderhiser, Wichita; Dave Bueker and Jeff Bor, Newport, R. I.
Ten of the 16 candidates were from Kansas. Five of the in-state candidates were from Wichita. All of the winning candidates were instate residents. Two winning candidates were from Wichita.

Pep Rally Tomorrow On Strong Hall Lawn
Friday's 10 o'clock classes will be dismissed at 10:40 a.m. so students may attend a pep rally in front of Strong Hall.

New Orleans Violence Fades
NEW ORLEANS—(UPI)—Racial violence faded in the New Orleans school integration dispute today, but white pupils almost completely boycott two integrated schools and the school board asked U.S. Dist. Judge Skelly Wright to lift his integration order.
The segregationist Louisiana legislature, meeting in special session at Baton Rouge, adopted a resolution to ask President-elect Kennedy for his opinion of "judicial tyranny" imposed upon Louisiana by Wright's court.
Racial violence lasted more than 20 hours in New Orleans and police arrested 250 persons, both white and Negro. Violence faded shortly before dawn.
New Dormitory Planned
Approval of a $1,300,000 loan by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency will permit KU to open another major residence hall for women in the fall of 1962. Joseph J. Wilson, dormitory director announced.
THE COST of the entire project including equipment and furnishings and the parking area is estimated at $2,000,000. In addition to the 40-year, $3/12 per cent interest loan guaranteed by the federal government, KU will draw on its share of the statewide one-fourth mill dormitory building levy. This will commit KU's share for two years.
John Brink, the state architect, has appointed Robertson and Eric-
The approved loan application is for a unit housing 432 women. However, a restudy has shown potential capacity of 444 and an amendment may be submitted to the FHHFA Wilson said.
son of Lawrence as associate architects. They are adapting plans of existing residence halls to the site at 15th St. and Engel Rd., where Templin and Lewis halls have been opened in the past 15 months.
THE NEW HALL will harmonize architecturally with Lewis and Templin Halls in the immediate area. However the interior arrangement will more nearly resemble that of Joseph R. Pearson Hall on West Campus Rd.
This year KU is providing modern, permanent type housing, including the scholarship halls, to 1,387 women and 1,346 men. Additionally about 100 men are living in Oread Hall, a World War II barracks type building. Increased capacity cannot be obtained except by crowding before the new hall is ready in 1962.
Wilson said the plans should be ready for bidders in early 1961.

Election Clatters To Clanking Close
By Linda Swander
The sound of IBM machines clattered loudly in the Statistics Laboratory in Bailey Hall last night as ballots from the general election were tallied.
The polls closed at 5 p.m. and counting began immediately. A representative of each political party, two members of the elections committee, the student body president, a faculty adviser, two IBM operators, a representative from KUOK, and a Daily Kansan reporter were present for the counting.
NO ONE ELSE was admitted to the room, but students anxiously awaiting the results peered through the windows of the room. Other election-news seekers stood outside the iron gate to the laboratory.
Fraternity district votes were the first ones tallied. A total of 950 votes were valid. It takes 951 valid votes for five seats on the All Student Council.
The green and orange cards flashed rapidly through the mamachines which showed the totals for each of the candidates as onlookers watched questioningly for the results.
Shortly after the counting began the window peckers appeared.
"YOUVE GOT a cold wait fellas, we've got a long road ahead of us." Kirk Cottingham, Newton senior and chairman of the elections committee, said.
Click, click, click, clang, clang, clang, the machine worked away. Finally at 10:15 p.m. all the votes had been tallied, and second and third choice votes had been redistributed.
The University Party won 10 seats on the ASC and Vox won six. Two districts did not receive a voting seat on the Council because neither 75 ballots were cast nor 50 per cent of the voters in the district came to the polls.
So it ends, another campus election and a new party sends representatives to the ASC.
Legislature Calls for Short Ballot and Reapportionment
TOPEKA — (UPI) The Legislative Council voted in a spirited session today to submit to the 1961 Legislature resolutions calling for constitutional amendments to drastically shorten the ballot and to reapportion the legislature.
The short ballot proposal would provide for election only of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General, who ultimately would serve four-year terms.
The reapportionment measure would cut the number of state representatives to 105, or one for each county, and would provide for 40
senators on the basis of population Reapportionment would be required every 12 years.
APROVAL by two-thirds of the Legislature would be necessary for the proposed amendments to reach a vote of the people.
Both proposals sparked lively discussion in today's session, with Sen. Don S. Hults, R-Lawrence, leading the onposition.
The measures were presented by the special committee on constitutional revision, headed by Sen. Howard M. (Tony) Immel, R-Iola.
UP Captures 10, Vox Has 6 Seats In ASC Election
By Byron Klapper
The two party system has once again become a reality as the new University Party captured 10 seats in the ASC while Vox took 6.
The unofficial total indicates 2,824 students voted in the two-day election. This is 791 more than voted in the last election, or a 39 per cent increase over last year's 2,033 voters.
Although it won a majority of the ASC representative seats, the UP was topped by Vox in popular votes by a 35-vote difference. Unofficial totals indicate 1,405 votes for Vox and 1,370 votes for the UP.
ONE EXPLANATION for the relatively large difference in ASC representation in view of the close popular vote may be due to the vote distribution. Vox ran 20 candidates against 15 from UP. This gave UP candidates higher individual totals than the Vox candidates running from the same representative district.
Vox was strongest in the fraternity living districts where it took three of the four seats. But the UP captured two of the three seats in the sorority living districts.
In the large and small men's and women's dormitories, UP gained five of the six representative seats for the four living districts.
The fraternity living district wound up one vote short of adding another representative to its district. The ASC constitution says that 951 votes are required to seat five representatives in ASC. The fraternity living district had 950.
Kirk J. Cottingham, Newton senior and chairman of the elections committee, said:
"It's too bad that happened, especially when it was so close, but there was nothing we could do about it." Cottingham said.
"WE HUNTED all over for one more fraternity ballot. We looked on the tables, in the ballot boxes and on the floors but no ballot.
Ronald K. Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior, explained another unique feature of the election.
"THE REASON for this change was to promote the continuity of membership on the Student Council. It is hoped that the more frequent elections will continue year-round interest in campus politics."
"This is an unprecedented election in that it is the first time ASC living district representatives were elected in the fall," he said.
The last time any party made an attempt to threaten Vox was in April, 1959, when the Allied Greek-Independent party lost 20 of the 26 seats in the ASC to the Vox organization. The AGI disbanded shortly afterwards.
Since then Vox has reigned for more than a year completely unopposed as the only major political party on Campus.
The UP made its formal debut last May 11 when Fred Morrison, Colby senior, presented the new party's constitution to the ASC with 1,200 students' names on petitions.
