Freshman class elections are today, tomorrow
Freshmen go to the polls today and tomorrow to elect officers for the class of 1972 and to select a freshmen women's representative to the All-Student Council (ASC).
The names of members of four full coalitions and one student running independently for president will appear on the ballot for class offices, said Bill Ebert, Topeka sophomore and co-chairman of the ASC election committee.
"Students are under no obligation to vote for the full coalition, although they are given the opportunity to do so." Ebert said.
Freshmen can cast their ballots from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at any of the polling places located in
Strong Hall, Murphy Hall and the Kansas Union.
Candidates were required to obtain 50 freshmen signatures on petitions provided by the ASC in order to have their names placed on the ballot, Ebert said.
The candidates for freshmen class offices are:
President—Ed Dallam, Shawnee Mission; Bradley Smoot, Sterling; Greg Schieffer, Topeka; Rick Schmidt, Prairie Village; and David Mannering, Kansas City.
Vice-president—Randy Herrington, Wichita; George Pierson, Kansas City; Jim Rayle, Hutchinson; and Tom Trabon, Shawnee Mission.
ASC sponsors 'fast' fund
Fifteen KU students began an All-Student Council (ASC) organized "fast" last night to support educational opportunity. They will eat nothing and drink only fruit juices and water until Thursday when they will break their fast with a cornbread and beans dinner at the Kansas Union cafeteria.
Freshmen women's representative—Mary McGovern, Kansas City; and Sandy Johnson, Overland Park.
The fast is part of a larger all-University fast set for tomorrow night. On that night, University dormitories will serve cornbread and beans in addition to their regular fare. Students who choose the less expensive "fast" meal will have the approximately 35 cent difference in meal price contributed the ASC Educational Opportunity Fund. The University will automatically match the contribution.
In smaller living groups and Greek houses different methods have been selected to participate in the fast. Some houses will serve no meal on Thursday evening. Some will employ the "fast" meal idea. In either case,
Treasurer—Ann Lowen, Hutchinson; Patsy McCoy, Topeka; Joan Wilde, Wichita; and Lee Lyerla, Overland Park.
money saved by the living group will be added to the fund.
"The No. 1 reason," Conrad said, "is straight, honest-to-God publicity. And secondly, and perhaps most importantly, to find out what it's like to be hungry."
The fifteen students are maintaining their nearly complete abstinence from food for two reasons, Clif Conrad, president of the student body and one of the fasters, said.
The fasters will neither carry signs nor demonstrate as a group.
Registration for the Western Civilization comprehensive exam will be Dec. 2-13 in room 130, Strong Hall. The exam is scheduled for 1 p.m., Jan. 11.
Exam correction
The Kansan erroneously reported the registration as being only Dec. 2 and 3.
Secretary—Carol Reber, Wichita; Marty Longbine, Leawood; Kim Wendt, Shawnee Mission; and Martha Fankhauser, Lyons.
