Schrey and Robinson To Head Vox Ticket
Vox Populi opened its spring election campaign last night, nominating Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, for student body president, and Bill Robinson, Great Bend sophomore, for student body vice-president at a meeting in the Kansas Union.
"Bill and I aren't running on what we've done, but we want to show you what we can do," he said.
In accepting the nomination, Schrey, pointing to the party's history, said, "Vox has been responsible for some of the most valuable legislation passed by the ASC.
AFTER THE candidates were announced, Jim Frazier, Topeka fifth-year pharmacy student and Vox president, presented a policy statement to Vox members.
Frazier said in the statement that Vox stands for equal representation for all groups, a clean campaign, and dynamic leadership for the campus.
Schrey is currently Vox ASC representative for men's small residence halls and is living at Battenfeld Hall.
Holding a 1.9 GPA, his other activities include: ASC Committee on Committees and Legislation, Vox legislative chairman, Association of University Residence Halls representative, ASC Elections Committee, and Young Republicans and SUA
Robinson is the ASC representative from the large men's residence halls and also a member of
the ASC Committee on Committees and Legislation. His GPA is 1.2 Other activities include the Ellsworth Hall Executive Committee, Model United Nations and the Young Republicans.
HE IS ALSO campus coordinator for the Big Eight Student Government Association and Associated Student Governments of America.
Promising a clean campaign, Schrey said, "We're not going to go out and make derogatory statements about the opposition."
In another speech before Vox members, Mike Grady, Leawood sophomore and Vox fraternity district chairman, said that the Greek vote would not be hurt by the running of the two independent candidates from Vox.
"This list of candidates represents a new change that we call the new dimension," he said. "Ws have made no effort at partisan appeasement in our selection of student body president and vicepresident."
HARRY BRETCHNEIDFR, Kansas City senior and secretary-general of UP, said this morning, "I think that both UP and Vox candidates are fine men. They've done a good job in student government.
University Party revealed its candidates for All Student Council (ASC) representatives from the various schools last night at a business meeting in the Kansas Union.

Two Cosmonauts Orbit; One Takes Space Walk
MOSCOW — (UPI) — A Soviet cosmonaut left his space ship for 20 minutes today while orbiting the earth. He turned a jubilant somersault before returning safely to the craft.
The two-man mission, Voskhod Sunrise II, was a giant step in Soviet efforts to land a man on the moon and it left the United States far behind in space achievements.
THE TASS NEWS agency reported that Lt. Col. Alexei Leonov, 30. "stepped out of the cabin of Voskhod II into outer space at 11:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m. EST) and moved up to five meters, 16 ft. 5 in. away from the ship."
Leonov "carried out a series of planned experiments and returned safely to the ship." Tass said. The agency said Leonov was "feeling fine outside the ship and after his return."
The other cosmonaut, Col. Pavel Belvaye, 39 stayed inside.
THE FEAT WAS accomplished during the ship's second orbit around the earth while it was travelling at a speed of 17,500 miles per
hour. Leoniv was equipped "in a special spacesuit with an autonomous life support system," Tass said.
Space experts said the mission was a forerunner to an eventual docking operation with another spaceship. Such a rendezvous in space, creating an orbiting launching pad, would have to precede any flights to the moon or beyond. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have been pointing their space programs toward the rendezvous feat.
There was some speculation that the Russians might be planning to launch a second spaceship today to link up with Voskhod II.
IN BOCHUM, Germany, a spokesman for the West German Institute for Satellite and Space Research said its radio monitors indicated that a second Russian ship may be in orbit.
Voskhod II was launched at 10 a.m. (2 a.m. EST) today and Leonov made his venture into outer space about 90 minutes later.
Tass said Leonov's work outside and the return to the ship were "transmitted to the earth by means of the ship's television system and observed by a network of ground stations."
VOSKHOD II was making an orbit every 90 minutes on an egg-shaped course that sent it 397 miles away from earth at the farthest point. The closest it came to earth was 108 miles.
Tass gave no details on how Leonov left the ship, but scientific sources said he used an air lock and was protected against the vacuum of space and its absolute zero temperatures by his pressure suit.
To get back, it was reported, he could have pulled himself hand over hand on a two-line or possibly have used a rocket pack for propulsion.
During his space stroll Leonov took pictures with his movie camera and "conducted visual observations of the earth and outer space" Tass said.
Exceed Demands
CRC Happy on Talks
The Civil Rights Council (CRC) heard a report last night on the progress being made toward meeting of its demands by the University Human Rights Council.
Mildred Dickeman, assistant professor of anthropology, said she felt the UHRC had made further progress.
"I think you can see the All Student Council (ASC) bill has surpassed the CRC's recommendations. It has been expanded to include not only the Kansan, but all student publications, which exceeds CRC's demands," Prof. Dickeman said.
PROF. DICKEMAN, a member of the CRC contingent of the UHRC, also said the housing demand of the CRC had been expanded to include on campus as well as off campus housing.
"We were aware of discrimination in on campus housing and we
thought is should be under the same umbrella."
Prof. Dickeman also read a faculty resolution signed by 149 members of the faculty and staff of KU. The resolution supported the statement of policy formulated by the UHRC. It also supported the right of students to "press for this principle (the statement of policy) by persuasion and peaceful demonstration."
Pamela Smith, Kansas City sophomore and secretary of CRC, announced that because of "personal reasons" she would be withdrawing from school for the rest of the semester. She said she would go to the South to help with "voter registration and whatever else needed to be done on a voluntary basis."
Weather
Unseasonably cold tonight through tomorrow is predicted by the weather bureau. It will be partly cloudy with northerly winds 20 to 30 miles per hour diminishing tonight. The low tonight will be around 10.
Marjorie French, St. Louis senior, was elected the new CRC secretary. It was not known whether she would take Miss Smith's place on the UHRC.
PROF. DICKEMAN ALSO lodged a criticism against the University Daily Kansan. Speaking of the CRC demonstrations and the negotiations now in progress with the UHRC, she said, "You haven't pursued an opportunity for total coverage of an important campus event."
"There has never been any background coverage or history of the CRC or racial problems on the campus in the past. I think the purpose of a daily paper is to convey to the students the complexities and work to be done."
