Batman ousts Mickey

- Favorite beverage in the Kansas Union (with C.R.A.P.).
- Better relations with the administration—C.R.A.P.
Batman has replaced Mickey Mouse in the changing of the times.
He has become the present champion of political apathetics who search for a third candidate with whom to identify. Usually this is done after dissatisfaction is found in the candidates selected by the two campus parties.
THE NEWEST political grouping on campus is the Campus Reformers Association for Politics (C.R.A.P.). Their chief campaign pitch is: "Are you tired of DIRTY politics?? Flush out corruption. . Wipe out filth. Join Now."
- Better food in the dorms (With C.R.A.P.)
For their presidential candidate they have selected Bruce Wayne (Bat Man on Campus), and as vice presidential candidate they have Dick Grayson (his young ward). Other candidates include Lemont Cranston and Margo Lane (only a shadow of a chance).
The candidates have selected a seven point platform on which to run It includes:
- Contract Milton Bradley,
Inc., to complete New Fraser and
construct any new buildings on
campus.
- Submarine races on Jayhawk boulevard.
- **B** Bring back the duck races for Spring Fling.
- Make Robert Goulet head cheerleader and head football coach.
DURING THE spring campaign in 1964 Mickey Mouse made the political scene. Traces of his active campaign can still be seen in and around the campus scene.
In ardent support of Mr. Mouse, his supporters chose to paint "Write-in Mickey Mouse for Student Body President" on several sidewalks.
The election committee cautions students that ballots bearing the names of such fictitious people will not be counted.

The Red Baron, World War I German flying ace and sometime comic strip aggressor, has become an active shadow resident of KU.

Who else but the
Although his exact identity and plans for action are classified information, rumors about the Baron have been widespread at KU since the appearance on campus last week of signs announcing "The Red Baron Is Coming."
'Red Baron' Strikes
ONE POPULAR RUMOR was that the Baron in his plane, the Sopwith Camel, would strike last night at the political debate in McCollum Hall, but the rumor proved false.
Contacted last night, however, the Baron said that he had struck here.
ALTHOUGH THE exact nature of the Baron's initial "strike" is not known, an unconfirmed rumor was circulating that he had stolen the Campanile.
A spokesman for the campus police, when asked last night if there had been any reports of a strike by the Red Baron, said, "We've had no reports on it—at least not since our shift came on at 11 p.m."

A member of the Lawrence Police Department said, "The red who?"
MANY STUDENTS HAVE viewed the clandestine emergence of the Red Baron with curiosity and are awaiting his campus leaders, however, are al-
first public appearance. Some ready investigating this newest addition to campus life.
The co-chairmen of the All Student Council (ASC) Elections Committee, Kay Orth, El Dorado junior, and Jim Prager, Annandale, Va., junior, said that they have completed a "thorough investigation" of the matter.
In a statement issued last night, they said, "We have reached the conclusion that the case of the Red Baron does not come under the jurisdiction of the ASC Elections Committee. Parties interested in further research should take their requests directly to the Buildings and Grounds Department."
AL MARTIN, Shawnee Mission sophomore and University Party candidate for student body president, said, "This is a very interesting situation. I will look with confidence to the democratic processes of student government for resolving it and assessing its significance."
Tom Rader, Greensburg sophomore and Vox Populi candidate for student body president, said, "I will look with confidence to the democratic processes of student government for resolving it and assessing its significance.

Don't just sit there, Wallace Middendorp. Make a noise. Or drink Sprite,the noisy soft drink.
What did you do
when Joe (Boxcar)
Brkczpmluj was
kicked off the
football team just
because he flunked
six out of four of
his majors? What
did you do, Wallace,
Middendorp?
And when the school newspaper's editors resigned in
WALLACE MIDDENDORP SAT HERE
protest because The Chancellor wouldn't allow the publication of certain salacious portions of
SPRITE, SO TART
AND TINGLING,
WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP I QUIET.
"Night In a Girl's Dormitory"
you just sat, didn't you?
You've made a mockery of your life, Wallace Middendorp!
You're a vegetable.
Protest, Wallace Middendorp.
Take a stand. Make a noise!
Or drink Sprite, the noisy soft
drink.
Open a bottle of Sprite at the next campus speak-out. Let it fizz and bubble to the masses.
Let its lusty carbonation echo through the halls of ivy.
Let its tart, tingling exuberance infect the crowd with excitement.
Do these things, Wallace Middendorp. Do these things,
and what big corporation is going to hire you?
After a lingering start, voters descended upon the polls yesterday to cast 2,044 ballots. These were broken down by schools, as follows:
SPRITE IS A REGISTERED TRADING MARK
College men-668, college women-579, education-172, engineering-161,fine arts-128,graduate-102, pharmacy-76,law -69,business-58,journalism-32.
In the class officers balloting, 665 sophomores, 541 juniors, and 418 seniors chose from their respective candidates.
ANOTHER 2,500 or so students will enter the booth today if past elections are any indication. After the last ballot is in the box and the box is tooted away to the tabulation center, the traditionally hectic period of campus elections will finally end.
In years past, it has been the cue for letting candidates out of the closets, taking tape recorders out of the radiators, and removing alarms from the fire escapes.
Every year is different, yet almost every election has been somehow sparked with excitement and unusual situations.
IN THE EARLY 1950's a candidate in one of the school elections received more votes than there were students in the entire school.
In more recent years, a man voted three times on three different ID's—two of them belonging to women.
A candidate, persuaded by the opposing party to withdraw from the election three days before the balloting, was locked in his room with a guard of his own party members posted at the door. Unable to communicate his desire to have his name removed from the ballot, the candidate was greeted upon his release with the news that he had won the election.
