Vox Houses To Back Write-in Candidates
Since the March 19 filing deadline for the spring elections, candidates for student body president have been popping up like targets on a pistol range.
The newest candidates, on a write-in ticket, are John Downing Kansas City, Mo. junior, for student body president, and Carol Plumb, Overland Park junior, for vice-president.
Downing said Sunday he was resigning as chairman of the ASC Elections Committee in favor of Jack Davis, Topeka senior, a member of the committee.
Jim Austin, Topeka sophomore and president of Vox Populi, said Sunday that the campaign for Downing and Miss Plumb started in the organized houses supporting Vox, and that Vox has voted "100 per cent support" of the ticket.
Before March 19, it appeared the Allied Greek-Independent ticket of Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and Susie Stout, Wichita junior, would be unopposed. Then Ed Prelock, Cleveland, Ohio senior, filed for the presidency with Mary Olson, Wichita freshman, for vice-president
Miss Olson Withdrew
Miss Olson withdrew from the ticket, reportedly under pressure, on March 23.
During the past weekend, the movement for Downing and Miss Plumb has sprung up within Vox, which had announced previously

"We hope the service project will become an annual event," he said.

Friday's Daily Kansan printed that a bipartisan political rally would be held at 4 p.m. today in Hoch Auditorium.

The rally has been changed to 4 p.m. Tuesday in Hoch Auditorium, according to All Student Council officials.
Candidates for both parties will be introduced and candidates for president and vice-president of the student body will give short speeches.

Party head Austin made this statement:
"The people in Vox houses and independents not living in organized houses have been exposed to both announced candidates. These students felt they did not want to back either Patterson or Prelock.
"John Downing and Carol Plumb have chosen to run on a write-in ballot and the houses in Vox have voted 100 per cent support to them." The two new candidates submitted statements to The Daily Kansan concerning their campaign.
100 Per Cent Support

It was a great surprise and certainly an honor when Vox informed us it would support our candidacy without strings attached.
