Politicians plan campaign push
UP dances
University Party (UP) begins its election push this week with a campaign geared to personal contact between candidates and students.
Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and UP candidate for student body president, said, "We think it's clear that meeting people personally and explaining the platform is the best way to approach the campaign."
UP'S PLANS FOR this week include two semi-social events for candidates and students—an hour dance for Joseph R. Pearson and Ellsworth Halls Tuesday evening, and a party Friday afternoon.
Tom Shumaker, Russell senior and president of UP, explained, "We think by Friday it'll be time to get rid of some of these pre-elections nerves."
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union UP will hold an open meeting to discuss the party's platform and the issues facing the candidates.
"We want very much to acquaint people with what we stand for, and especially with the implications of our platform," Martin said.
EARLY THIS WEEK UP will distribute candidate-qualification sheets and an analysis of the platform.
Martin and his running-mate, Janet Anderson, Prairie Village sophomore, will be visiting campus living groups this week as their part in the election campaign.
Vox talks
Challenged are Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and UP student body presidential choice, and Janet Anderson, Prairie Village sophomore, UP vice-presidential candidate.
Vox Populi (Vox) student body presidential candidates Tom Rader, Greensburg sophomore, and Dick Darville, Shawnee Mission junior, yesterday challenged their University Party (UP) opposition to a debate.
As yet, they have not answered the challenge.
THE DEBATE IS planned from 6:15 to 7 p.m. Thursday in Gertrude Sellane Pearson Hall. Suggested by the Vox candidates, tentative debate topics are party platforms and the role of student government. The meeting will be open to everyone.
The UP platform will be discussed at an open Vox party meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union. Campaign progress and future strategy will also be covered. The meeting will be attended by party officers, workers, and candidates.
Candidates Rader and Darville also proposed a follow-up debate to be held Monday, March 28, in Ellsworth Hall. A time has not been scheduled.
A full schedule of living group visits by the two candidates fills the rest of this week. Rader and Darville will tour small women's living groups from 6:15 to 7 p.m. tonight, followed by a door-to-door campaign in McColum Hall.
"We hope to reach as many of the voters as possible." Rader said.
Greeks show skill in stadium games
Memorial Stadium resembled a Greek coliseum Saturday afternoon as fraternity men raced pairs of chariots around the track.
The Delta Upsilon chariot, its rider lying backward, won the race with a time of 41.9 seconds. Chariots driven and pulled by Sigma Nus and Theta Taus took second and third places.
Kappa Alpha Psi stole the lead again in the 440 yard dash with a time of 52.8 seconds. Second was John Langworthy, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, running for Alpha Tau Omega in 53.2 seconds and Bob Henderson, Concordia junior representing Delta Upsilon, in third place with 53.5 seconds.
THE 440 RELAY was captured by the quick passing and running of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity with a time of 44.7 seconds. Close second and third places went to Phi Delta Theta, 46.4 seconds, and Delta Tau Delta, 46.5 seconds.
Winner of the broad jump with a 213" effort was Harry Gibson, Kansas City graduate student, representing Phi Delta Theta. Second was Richard K. Harris, Pratt freshman, Delta Upsilon, and third was Bart Dale Ruby, Muncie freshman, Phi Delta Theta.
IN THE SHOT put, Kappa Al-Pha Psi took first place honors with George Harvey, Parsons sophomore, whose throw was 57'13" Second was Steven Heck, Lawrence sophomore for Phi Gamma Delta, and third was Bill Wohlford, Genesee junior, for Alpha Tau Omega.

freshman, took the high jump with a 6'0" effort. Jo Jo White, St. Louis sophomore for Kappa Alpha Psi, was second and Robert B. Pusey, Overland Park freshman for Pi Kappa Alpha, was third.
Greeks gathered after field events at Potter Lake for the tug-of-war. Two men from each fraternity formed the teams. The thick rope bounced in the air for a while the West team seemed to have control. But, the strength of the East team finally forced a half dozen West members into the water.
Mile relay results showed Phi Delta Theta in first place with a time of 3:34.5, Delta Upsilon second and Sigma Alpha Epsilon third.
Allan Jennings, Kansas City sophomore, took first in the 100 yard dash with a time of 10.1 seconds.
In the sprint medley relay, Phi Delta Theta was first with 1:38.4. Sigma Chi came in second and Kappa Alpha Psi was third.
Spectators at the East-West football game Friday afternoon saw West take an early lead and go on to win with a score of 13 to 8.

They said it couldn't be done. It couldn't.
We tried. Lord knows we tried. But no amount of pivoting or faking could squeeze the Philadelphia 76ers' Wilt Chamberlain into the front seat of a Volkswagen.
So if you're 7'1" tall like Wilt, our car is not for you.
But maybe you're a mere 67". In which case, you're small enough to appreciate what a big thing we've made of the VW.
There's more headroom than you'd expect. (Over 37½" from seat to roof.) And more legroom in front than you'd
get in a limousine. Because the engine's tucked over the rear wheels where it's out of the way (and where it can give the most traction).
You can put 2 medium-sized suitcases up front (where the engine isn't), and 3 fair-sized kids in the back seat. And you can sleep an enormous infant in back of the back seat.
Actually, there's only one part of a VW that you can't put much into;
The gas tank.
But you can get about 29 miles per gallon out of it.
