Vox rehashes election results
By Elizabeth Rhodes
The room was small and crowded. It wasn't exactly a party, but it could have been. The cast wasn't right. It was Tom Rader and the 10 or 15 hard-core Vox Populi men who masterminded his student body presidential campaign.
What went wrong? Everyone had a theory. Tom Stanion, Vox President, attributed the loss to a lack of "gimmicks." We did not have a flamboyant angle, a gimmick, and this hurt us. Lacking gimmicks made our campaign drab because students want to see something flamboyant happen while they are here.
"It WAS A WHIRLWIND campaign," he said. "Neither party really presented itself in the best light. UP was highly idealistic, and had great appeal to those students who do not really understand the operation of student government and its relations with the administration."
The object of this conversation had fought a hard campaign, Rader, and his face showed it. Mostly he was silent, but when he did speak everyone listened. The men debated each others opinions, but seldom did they question his. It was obvious he was still the leader.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT the campaign, Rader said, "It was a great experience. Happiness doesn't exactly reign after a defeat though. This has been the roughest campaign I've ever been in.
"After seeing the people after the election, and seeing the tears after I lost, I'll never be able to thank the people who worked for me enough. They were wonderful. The Vox kids did more for me than I could ever ask," Rader said.

Al Martin and Janet Anderson rode to an All Student Council executive victory last night in a closely fought election that saw the second even ASC seat-split in two semesters.
The University Party candidates defeated Vox Populi's Tom Rader and Dick Darville, 2390 to 2151.
THE COUNCIL now holds 21 members of each party. Vox lost two seats in this election bringing about a five to five tie. In the living group elections of last fall, the two parties split 16 to 16.
The final returns were in at 11:07 p.m. Though the returns were in early, it was a long night for UP. It had begun hours earlier at the Jayhawk Cafe.
AT 8:45 P.M. Jack Harrington left the table of 23 University Party members and returned with a two foot square cardboard box of UP campaign posters and brochures. The students tore enthusiastically into the paper, shredding it into confetti and filling paper sacks with it. There was little else to do—except wait.
At 9:33 Al Martin turned to his running-mate Janet Anderson, who was still tearing away at the paper. Grinning widely, he said, "Stop that!"
"Whv?"
"What if we don't win?"
"What if we don't win? She went on tearing.
AT 10:30 THE phone rang and Martin looked up apprehensively. It was Tom Shu-maker, UP president. His call was the summons to Summerfield for the final returns. The eight paper bags of confetti were stuffed into the cardboard box. On his way out Martin turned and said, "Well, here we go."
At 11:09 the still incoherent mass of students stopped their advance into the Hawklet and the 1966 student body president dropped from their shoulders. The crowd closed in.
At 11:07 they used the confetti.
They pushed to congratulate
the duo. Each of them said the same thing in different words—saying nothing and meaning much.
AT 11:14 the candidates were gone and nine minutes later not much was left in Summerfield except the confetti and Tony O'Bryan dumping uneaten doughnuts into the trash can.
At 11:59 the victory party was moved, at the request of Shumaker's unpolitically-oriented landlady, to The Shanty. Shumaker sat down. "What

At 12:19 UP had filled The Shanty, emptied their glasses, and again slapped themselves and Martin on the back.
