Polls to open tomorrow for ASC district voting
By WILL HARDESTY
Elections for All Student Council (ASC) representatives from living group districts will be tomorrow and Thursday.
Polls will be set up in Strong Hall, in the Kansas Union lobby, and in the lobby of Murphy Hall. The polls will open at 8 a.m. and will close at 6 p.m.
Representatives will be elected from 10 districts. These districts are: Large Men's Residence Halls, Small Men's Residence Halls, Large Women's Residence Halls, Small Women's Residence Halls, Freshman Women's Residence Halls, Fraternity, Sorority, Unmarried-Unorganized, Married-Unorganized, and ProfessionalCo-Operative. Freshman class officers will also be elected.
STUDENTS MAY vote only for candidates from the district in which they live.
Male residents of coed residence hails will vote in the Large Men's district, and female residents will vote in the Large Women's district.
The Unmarried-Unorganized district consists of all members of Greek houses not living in those
houses, plus all students living in apartments and residents of Lawrence.
Married-Unorganized is the district of all married students, no matter where they are living, including resident directors in residence halls.
ALL REGISTERED students at KU are qualified to vote. The only items necessary to vote are a KU-ID and a yellow fee card.
Dolph Johnson, Wymore, Neb., senior and one of the tri-chairmen of the ASC Elections Committee said there are more candidates running this year than ever before in fall elections.
The individual district with the most candidates running is Large Men's with 15.
"There are 90 candidates running," Johnson said. "UP is running 30. Vox has 24. KUPA is supporting 12, and three are running completely unaffiliated. For freshman class offices, we have 21 candidates."
VOTING WILL be by the Hare system of preferential balloting. In this system, the voter may
mark his first choice through last choice across the ballot. Through a system of re-distribution of votes when a candidate is definitely elected or defeated, choices other than first often figure in deciding the outcome of elections.
"Counting usually doesn't go past third choice at most, but a person who wants to vote a 'straight ticket' should mark his choices because they are likely to be counted." Johnson said.
Apathy and lack of concern for the upcoming elections concern the leaders of the campus political parties.
DON CHUBB, Topica junior and president of UP said he was "amazed" at how few people know or care about the elections.
"I've been talking to people about driving voters to the polls. The most frequent question I heard was "When are the elections?" There hasn't been much controversy and nobody is concerned."
Ken North, Shawnee Mission sophomore and president of Vox, said, "I've never seen so much apathy for any one thing."
Housing 'above board'
Living study gives trends
One KU graduate student enjoys his marital bliss within the confines of a sorority house.
Two single undergraduate males live in a KU sorority.
One freshman pledge lives in a fraternity—and is married.
Nine married male graduate students, one married female graduate student and two married freshman couples all live in KU residence halls.
Interesting statistics?
THEY ARE ALL PART of a numerical break-down of where KU students live made by George B. Smith, KU Vice Chancellor for Institutional Planning.
The study, first of its kind at KU, was accumulated by Smith at the request of the University and the city. From it, officials hope to plot trends in student housing patterns and then keep up with those trends in concrete and steel as KU enrollment increases.
Using ten types of student living quarters, ranging from fraternities and sororites to those living at home in Lawrence, the report includes the habitats of all undergraduate, graduate and fifth-year students.
Trends in the report that might be significant, said Smith, deal with marital status and classifications.
FOR EXAMPLE, while only 1.5 per cent of the freshman class is married, almost 25 per cent of the KU senior class has marriage licenses.
Other trends include:
- Residence hall population, which encompasses 60 per cent of the freshman class but only 14 per cent of the seniors.
The private residence hall, Naismith, with 241 occupants, of which almost 50 per cent are sophomore women.
Fraternities and sorceries with the bulk (32 per cent) of their members being sophomores.
- Apartments, which include only a small portion of the freshman class (about six per cent)
