University Party's New Platform Outlined
The following is a summary of the planks of the University Party's 1960 platform.
"Whereas, student government has been in the hands of one party for the past eighteen months, and
"Whereas, that student government has not faithfully served the needs of the students.
Point 1: The National Student Association:
"Be It Therefore Resolved by the University Party in general assembly gathered, that this platform for progressive action in student government is hereby adopted."
The University Party affirms the continued membership of KU in the NSA. It believes that KU should cooperate more fully with that organization. The UP proposes that all major or controversial resolutions passed by NSA be considered by the ASC.
Point 2; AWS Finance;
For functions in the nature of public relations or education, the AWS should receive money from the University. All other functions should be supported by the ASC.
Point 3: Student Union Prices:
The UP recognizes a need to investigate prices being charged by the Student Union cafeterias and bookstore.
Point 4: University Rules and Discipline:
The UP pledges itself to the clarification of University rules and procedures regarding social and disciplinary matters.
Point 5: Final Week and Pre-enrollment:
The party pledges its efforts to secure one full day of rest and preparation between the last day of classes and the first day of final week each semester, on a permanent basis. It will also investigate pre-enrollment possibilities.
Point 6: Student Participation in State Affairs:
The UP will exert all possible influence to gain support from state government for increased faculty salaries, an adequate faculty retirement program, and a stimulated building program.
The UP affirms need for active committees. Past committees have not produced substantial achievements, notably the Labor Committee. Students working are doing so below standards exemplified by the national wage scale.
Investigation of housing conditions on and off campus is needed. Point 8: Student Discount Plan:
Point 9: Cooperation with Local Citizens:
Proposal of student discount plan at local stores. Point & Corporation with Local Citizens
Point 10: Parking and Traffic:
Cooperate with city officials on matters such as off-campus traffic and parking, snow removal, and student discounts.
Point 11: A Permanent "Little Civil Service" Board:
UP will strive to effect reductions in parking fines and provide for increasing number of bicycles. If finances are not available money should come from the ASC coffee and donut fund.
The party proposes to establish a board to control appointments to ASC committees, basing selections on qualifications rather than political affiliation. It will be necessary to amend ASC Bill No. 3 to accomplish this.
Point 12: Publicity of the ASC and its Business:
Copies of all ASC Constitution should be made available to all students, organized houses and placed on reserve in the library. Information concerning progress and proceedings after each meeting of ASC should be provided by the Council.
Point 13: Representation:
UP endorses both Constitutional Amendments for separation of dormitories according to their size.
Point 14: A Constitutional Convention;
The party favors calling a special constitutional convention to amend the Constitution of the ASC. It should investigate the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of the present document and propose necessary changes.
"To These Fourteen Points, and to any and all other problems and situations affecting the students of the University of Kansas the University Party pledges its efforts and support."
