Vote for Person, Not Party
During the next few days the campaigning for student body president and vice president and for All Student Council seats will become relatively more lively. It is up to the student body to decide who will hold these positions.
What decisions will the students make?
Take a close look at what the candidate and his backers are saying. Are they merely stating that the opposition is incapable? Are they merely reciting their party's platform? If so, this is not enough.
What does one person have to offer? Actually how differently will he act from his opposition should he be elected to the ASC or an executive office? How seriously will he take his office? For
him will it be only another glory to add to the Jayhawker list of activities?
How much does he know about the ASC? How much should he know about the ASC? What specific issues does he want student government to polish off next year?
Will he, if elected, be willing and able to forget his political connections and work toward a united body for the good of the University?
Will he make an honest effort to represent each member of his living district or school whether he is Vox or AGI, independent or Greek?
How deep and sincere are his reasons for wanting to hold office in student government?
Accusations and Actions
Today's "letters to the editor" column contains a letter which makes some of the same claims, in the same language, as the AGI sponsored "Speaking Frankly." newsletter. This newsletter will be distributed shortly among the student body.
The AGI publication relates much of the political happenings over the year. Unfortunately it lacks corroborating reasons to explain the passage and failure of each bill mentioned.
Mr. Salmon's letter and the AGI bulletin slam the All Student Council for failure to communicate ASC happenings to the students. They also state that the Council killed a bill providing for newsletter communication to all students.
The trouble is, neither the letter nor the publication gives the reason for the bill's defeat. After much argument and consideration, the ASC found that the cost of a newsletter would be prohibitive, considering the small amount of readership given such items.
It then decided that a bi-monthly ASC news insert in The Daily Kansan would deliver the
best effect to more students. However, the cost of this measure was estimated at well over $80 per month and thus too expensive for the limited ASC budget.
For lack of a way to reach a large amount of students inexpensively, the bill was killed. The Daily Kansan then complied with the ASC's desire for communication by continuing to include in its news columns almost all items discussed at the Council meetings.
Many other accusations are delivered against The Daily Kansan and the Vox Populi party in the AGI bulletin. These, too, are shrouded with generalities and partial quotations. Never does it contain explanations of the Council's motives for handling issues in any particular way.
AGI does seem to have come up with a new idea of communicating with the houses. This method will be important if it proves workable. If a similar form of communication had been thought of earlier, students would understand why certain measures proved to be impracticable and others important this year.

Editor:
Vox has pledged in its platform for this election to advance communication between students and the ASC. This plank has appeared before but hasn't materialized. The only publication of ASC proceedings is in the Daily Kansan and in a Vox party publication going to Vox houses only.
The Vox platform of last semester promised to publish complete reports of ASC action. Since then, with Vox controlling the Council, the ASC roll call has been
published three times and the minutes not once.
An AGI representative proposed a bill calling for publication of the above information in newsletter form for distribution to all students. The proposal was killed by a Vox controlled Council.
The AGL platform this semester calls for the formation of a coordinating council to facilitate better communication between Council and students. AGL also plans to publish a newsletter on ASC action, but didn't include this in the
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Dick Bibler
platform because it feels it should be done as a duty, not as a vote-getter.
The AGI proposal of a coordinating council holds out the best hope of real communication since ASC was began. Under this system the ASC representative would truly be the spokesman for his district rather than almost a free agent. Under the present system an ASC representative lacks the time to visit each house to poll opinion. The coordinating council would relieve him of that duty.
"NO POINT STAYING IN ALOCKED ROOM FEELING SORRY FOR YOUR-SELF — MAYBE THE 'SIGNALPINTHOLOGY' WILL PLEASE YOU NEXT YEAR."
As a hypothetical case, a resident of Oread Hall would have a representative from his house who would take his opinions to a regular meeting with his living district representative. The district representative would then take them to the Council. Council action would be reported back down the line to the individual with whom the idea originated. Everyone would know what was happening.
