ASC Officers See Meaning In KU Student Government
By Jim Sullinger
While some KU students are apathetic towards or dislike student government, others find a great deal of purpose and meaning in it.
For Mike Miner, Lawrence senior and ASC chairman, student government is a way to do something constructive.
"There are a lot of rewarding activities in this area," Miner said, "It is a place where something may be done of great benefit with a lasting effect."

Concerning student body apathy toward campus politics, Miner thought some students forget that ASC members are students first and representatives second.
"FOR EXAMPLE," Miner continued, "the student loan fund set up by the ASC is the largest at the University. It is lasting and worthwhile."
The most enjoyable aspect of student government to Miner was meeting important personalities.
"When you encounter apathy," he said, "you are hindered and a chain reaction is started in many cases."
"THE ONLY WAY criticism can be alleviated is to become professional council members," Miner added. "As you know, this cannot be done."
Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C. senior and student body president, also finds student government interesting and rewarding. His interest started in high school government and followed him into KU.
"Politics is one of the few field that you do as well in as you are capable," Stewart said, "There is always a little adventure and chance involved."
"I BELIEVE," he continued, "that each student would like to find a way to leave his mark behind. Student government is a great way of doing this."
"You are not the master but a servant." Stewart said, "The challenge is in fulfilling the student body's confidence."
"I hope I can eventually end up in politics," he said.
Stewart said that a certain amount of student apathy is expected.
"To the student, campus politics is not a large part of his life." He added, "However, KU experiences a lot less apathy than other universities."
STEWART ESTIMATED the total student vote at 50 per cent in the

Russia Demands U.S. Viet Nam Withdrawal
THE STATEMENT was reported by the Soviet news agency Tass in a message sent by Kosygin to a preparatory meeting of the Indochinese peoples' conference in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia.
It was the second time in the past three days that the Kremlin had made such a demand.
A communique issued Sunday after Kosygin's meeting with North Korean officials during his Asian trip termed the American air attacks on North Viet Nam "inhuman" and called on the United States to pull its troops out of Viet Nam.
IN A STATEMENT earlier today, the Soviets warned the United States that American attacks against Communist North Viet Nam could lead to a world war.
Communist Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi, in a Peking statement reported Monday, called for "concrete action" by the Soviet Union and China against "U.S. imperialism."
"Three sororities and one fraternity are making calls to various people in Lawrence asking them to solicit funds near their homes," William Balfour, chairman for the city heart drive. said

"Apathy is to be expected." Stewart said, "However, I am always amazed at the amount of positive spirit students exhibit."
