Vogel, Highberger, ' & Toto Too' want change
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
University Daily Kansan, October 5, 1984
The student body president and vice president will run for Student Senate offices in November as part of a group that advocates the abolition of the present student government.
Carla Vogel, the president, and Dennis "Boog" Highberger, the vice president, have helped create "& Dennis Boog" Highberger candidate for Senate seats.
"We need to totally rearrange Student Senate because it's totally worthless in its present form," Highberger said. "If we do this, we will be the most progressive student government in the United States."
The group was formed and its name was chosen yesterday during a 90 minute meeting attended by about 20 students and a dog in the
Regionalist Room of the Kansas Union.
HIGHBERGER AND VOGEL said later that the group was neither a party nor a coalition, and that although they were a force behind it, they were not its leaders.
they were not so scared.
"It seems like 'party' kind of closes things in." Vogel said. "I like to keep it oen."
Highberger added. "We're rapidly developing to the point where we aren't going to have any leaders."
Highberger and Vogel said that many students who were interested could not show up for the meeting, and that the group would have candidates for all of the Senate's more than 60 seats.
The election will be Nov. 14-15.
Highberger said the group would advocate replacing the present form of student government with a new kind of government. He presented a
plan at the meeting but said its finer details still must be worked out.
"All we're really united by is a desire for change," he said.
THE PLAN CALLS for the formation of the associated students of the University of Kansas, of which all students would be members. Students would elect a seven-member executive committee that would replace the president and vice president.
Students also would be represented by a student assembly, made up of one representative from each fraternity and sorority, each residence hall floor, each scholarship hall and off-campus students. The assembly would have about 400 members, Higherber said.
He said that the assembly would vote from four to eight times a year, and it also would elect a seven-
member Finance Committee to handle the budget.
Highblerger said his plan would even out representation of students.
THE PLAN ALSO calls for "& Toto Too" to win enough Senate seats in the November election to have a majority to vote for the change in government.
"We want to get a new structure to achieve all of the things we want to do in a way that won't drive us crazy," Highberger said. "And we think there should be more campus lighting."
Highbender said that he would run for an off-campus, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or a non-traditional student seat. The candidates in the primary Wednesday voted to add a nontraditional student seat to the Senate.

The Festival has 30 entries in its film and video competition. Syverson said that last year the festival had only 23 entries.
"We're really excited about the increase in interest," Syverson said. "The festival is getting larger every year."
The films submitted to the competition are made by amateurs, semi-professionals and professionals. Syverson said the films and videos would be judged on their creative and technical proficiency.
He said the professional projects would be judged harder on their technical merit to keep the competition even.
OZIZZ ARE AWARDED to the best short and long film and the best short and long video Syverson said the short video usually lasted 15 minutes or less.
Syverson said the award was called an OZIZ because when most people thought of Kansas films, they thought of the "Wizard of Oz."

"We had to wait until most of the renovation plan was finished so we could see if there was enough money, and there was," he said.

$7,420 left over from the Watson

REASON#2 TO CALL A FRIEND:
YOURSANITY.
College life can have an unsettling effect on your state of mind. From sitting in strange classes to living with even stranger people.
Sometimes it feels like the only person you can really talk to is yourself.
Well, you know what they say about people who talk to themselves. So call an old friend instead.
Even if your friends are far away, they still know you and care about you. And they won't judge you by your choice of major or the condition of your laundry.
Calling a friend is the best therapy for the money, too. Call after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates are the lowest.
takes are the best.
So call a friend or two, and tell them just how crazy it been. You'll be surprised how sane it can make you feel.
