Vox meets talks policy
Internal organization was the keynote of last night's Vox Populi meeting in the Kansas Union.
Faced with a new party constitution and the writing of a party platform, business of the meeting was "cleaning house." explained Vox president Ken North, Shawnee Mission sophomore.
Part of the "house cleaning" was an explanation to members of the General Assembly and its policy-determining function.
Immediate party plans are to continue explaining Vox objectives to student voters.
PROFITABLE CHAT
DALLAS—(UPI)—While on his way to Houston to look for a job, James W. Keay stopped in Dallas to visit friends. He struck up a conversation with a vice-president of the Republic National Bank during a downtown trip.
As a result of the chat, he was hired by the bank. Today, more than 17 years later, he is the bank's president and the man who hired him, James W. Aston, is board chairman and chief executive officer.
Platform and future plans discussed at UP meeting
Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and student body president, said the UP position "looks better this year than ever before."
About fifty students attended a University Party (UP) General Assembly meeting last night at the Alpha Tau Omega house.
Martin reviewed last spring's UP platform and told how the party was planning to implement the platform's plank.
"We hope to present to the faculty senate by the first of January a plan to obtain a stop week and to modify the Western Civ program and English Pro.
"ALSO, WE hope to present to the ASC after Thanksgiving a plan to modify and consolidate some of the ASC executive committees." Martin said.
Don Chubb, Topeka junior and president of UP announced a preliminary platform and a list of candidates would be presented "by late next week."
"We are very pleased with the enthusiasm, the turn-out for the meeting tonight, and the membership in general." Chubb said.
He announced the next meeting of the party would be Nov.2

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Way back in 1953 I started writing this column about campus life. Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keen and lively as ever. This is called "arrested development."
But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating as the American campus? Where else are minds so nettled, bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued?
Right now, for example, though the new school year has just begun, you've already encountered the following disasters:
1. You hate your teachers
1. You hate your teachers
2. You hate your courses.
3. You hate your room-mates.
5. You have no time to study.
6. You have no place to study.
4. You have no time to study.
Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems one by one.
1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try looking at things their way. Take your English teacher, for instance. Here's a man who is one of the world's authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds and a pre-war necktie while his brother Sam, a high school dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it so hard to understand why he writes "F" on top of your themes and "Eeeyich!" in the margin? Instead of hating him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship, his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of course you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes.
2. You hate your courses. You say, for example, that you don't see the use of studying Macbeth when you are majoring in veterinary medicine. You're wrong, friends. Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel, you'll be mighty glad you learned "Out, damned Spot!"
3. You hate your room-mates. This is, unquestionably, a big problem—in fact, the second biggest problem on American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel at Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room-mate problem: keep changing room-mates. The optimum interval. I have found, is every four hours.
4. You have no time to study. Friends, I'm glad to report there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. Then you won't be wasting precious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and slickly, easily and breezily, hacklessly, scrapelessly, tuglessly, nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore, Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are available both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if this weren't enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000 and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for details and an entry blank. Don't just stand there!
5. You have no place to study. This is a thorny one, I'll admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so noisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet, deserted spot—like the ticket office of the lacrosse team. Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest recruiting station.
You see, friends? When you've got a problem, don't lie down and quit. Attack! Remember: America did not become the world's greatest producer of milk solids and sorghum by running away from a fight!
