Rolfs to seek presidency; filing deadline not set
The filing date for the upcoming student body president election hasn't officially been set yet, but a team already has indicated it will seek office in 1975.
Edward C. Rolfs, Junction City junior,
announced Saturday in a letter to members
of the Student Senate that he would file for
the office of student body president.
He wrote that there were senator from North College, said he would run with Rolfs as vice-president.
The Senate Elections Committee will probably set Jan. 22 as the deadline for filing for office, according to John Beinser, an associate Republican. Elections will be Feb. 12 and 13.
Rufs said he would run for the office because of a controversy that arose over a list of priorities and guidelines for the county. But this fall he错了, as the earlier this fall by the central administration.
"We feel the need for involvement of students in government due to the recent controversy surrounding the low priority given classroom teaching," Rolafs said. "I feel that these students have been called upon to perform services for the University and have done so in attending honors banquets, entertaining national merit
scholars and sponsoring the only higher education week of its kind in the country 'v
Reece said last night that the University had placed too much emphasis on everything except teaching in its list of priorities, and that undergraduate teaching in general was the main problem now facing KU.
Rolfs was sponsor of a Student Senate resolution critical of the administration's list of priorities. The resolution, asking that improved teaching be placed first on the list of priorities at the University, instead of sixth, was passed by the Senate last week.
What Roffs described as a "fervor concerning athletic ticket prices and the athletic corporation in general" is another decision to decide for run student body president.
It's the second time Rolfs has run for student body president. He and Kelly Scott, Houston junior, were narrowly defeated last year by John Beiser and Todd Hunter.
Rolfs is a holder senator and a member of SenEx, University Council, College Assembly and the Undergraduate Educational Policy and Procedures Committee. Reece is also a member of University Council.

Democrats sign
WHEN DELEGATES RETURNED to the conference floor, they approved the compromise amendment and the rest of the article.
Opposition remained only among some segments of organized labor within the party. A statement against the amendment was made in the ANA before MAFIA L-FI-O, was greeted by loud booing.
The affirmative action article of the charter does not apply to selection of delegates to the 1976 convention. However, the language of the article was taken from a separate selection in 1976, which were written by a commission headed by Mikulski.
"We say to Mr. Strauss," Hennings said "either he stands with us or this party will go down to division and ruin in the election of 1976."
The compromise amendment deleted two sections from the original amendment. The first deleted section said composition alone couldn't constitute prima facie evidence of discrimination in delegation selection. The second deletion removed language that
prohibited the shift of the burden of proof to the challenged delegates.
RICHARD G. HATCHER the black mayor of Gary, Ind., was pleased with the deletions in the compromise amendment. He said the deleted language was a barrier to participation by blacks and women.
"What we accomplished was very significant," he said. "While it doesn't represent everything we wanted, it does represent a long stride away from what we didn't want."
The delegates also approved provisions for mandatory midterm conferences and a mandatory judicial council to review and evaluate the organization of presidential convention delegates.
Proportional representation instead of the "winner-take-all" method of delegate selection for presidential conventions was also adopted. With proportional voting, each candidate who gets 20 per cent of the votes in a state receives 20 per cent of the state's delegates.
Before the debate on the charter, Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota told the delegates that the Democratic party shouldn't be to be merely a safe party.
and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland urged women to adopt the compromise.
Docking reaffirms gift of papers
Speaking of his faith in American government, Gov. Robert Docking reaffirmed Friday night his decision to donate $50 million of papers to the University of Kansas.
"Unfortunately, today it is fashionable to be cynical about government and politics," Docking said. "But I have faith in our government and faith in our citizens."
Docking spoke in the Kansas Union at a dinner to raise funds for cataloguing and processing the papers. He will leave the university in January after eight years' residence there.
Among the nearly 100 people who attended the dinner were Chancellor Archie R. Moore, the university's president; Junction City, and Henry Bubb, Topeka; Dale Saffle, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission; and Marvin Kirkpatrick, political science and master of ceremonies.
"I AM HUMBLED when men of the stature of John Montgomery, Henry Bubb, Archie Dykes and Marvin Harder lend their names and give their time to the project of making these papers available to the people of Kansas," Docking said.
Docking said he appreciated the contributions the audience had made because future students would be able to learn about contemporary history from the papers.
Dykes said that Docking was one of KU's most distinguished graduates; and that there were four reasons Docking decided to give his papers to KU.
In addition, Docking presented a moon rock to Dykes. The governor had received the rock from Apollo 17 astronaut Joe Engle.
"It is a pleasure for all of us to have a part in making convenient to students and scholars the papers of one of our great politicians," Dykes said.
Montgomery said the papers would be a treasure chest to future students.
--DOCKING HAD been an honors graduate from KU, the Docking family had always been close to KU, Docking and his father, George, had always made connec- tion with KU and Docking's gesture would be beneficial to students, faculty and all Kansans.
"They will see Kansas as it is today because of the thoughtfulness and generosity of Gov. Robert Docking," Montgomery said.
BUBB SAID DOCKING had been a friend to higher education.
Montgomery, who was a reagent during the administration of Gov. George Docking, said he had enjoyed serving with George's son. Robert
"Higher education has good benefits but no better friend than Bob Docking," Bubb said. Bubb said he still supported Docking's college degree in Kansas state schools during the student period.
"I agreed with him 100 per cent and still do," Bubb said of the decision.

"There is very little literature in political science on the role of the governor. One of the existing books is three or four decades old.
"WE MUST OFFER more than an establishment center, where nothing but the labels ever really change." McGoad said. "We must seek a unity of principle as well as a party. We cannot be blind in what we say and bind to the evils before us.
"Any project of this kind that contributes source material helping provide us more lively material in teaching state government to be a great contribution," Harder said.
"If we are, we will be united, but do not enter into the center, but a dacen center," he said.
CCOMP WILL BE able to prepare a series of case studies in administrative problems that can be used in the program, Harder said.
The final Sunday session of the conference consisted of reports on the issues
"This will be certainly one of the best collections in the United States. It is a complete collection of the governor's records and notes to the chancellor, said after the dinner.
During the dinner, Harder said the goal of $26 needed to process the papers he had nicely.
"I think there are a whole variety of topics in which the papers would contribute some part of a source material," he said.
Conard, speaker of the Kansas House during Docking' 1968 to 1970 term, also said the papers would be valuable to future students.
Conard said George Griffin, curator of the Kansas Collection in the Kansas Collection Library, probably would process the papers chronologically according to Docking's
