- In reply to UP's platform call for more well-known speakers to be invited to KU and for this responsibility to be delegated to the ASC, North said. "(The topic of) University speakers was once dealt with by a division of the ASC. The responsibility for this . . . was given to Student Union Activities. Now UP wants student government to take it over again. We feel this is inconsistent."
Q. What are the duties of KU student government officials and specifically those of the student body president and vice-president?
Guy Davis, Prairie Village junior and Vox vice-presidential candidate:
"We'd like to see it where Ken would take care of external affairs, working with the (state) government and the city, and where I would work on campus. I'd be a liaison between the committees and the ASC and try to promote more efficiency and make it a better student government."
The ASC constitution specifically delegates what it expects from the different divisions and from the executive officers, North said.
"We are most vitally concerned with efficiency," he said. "You've got to understand the techniques of administration, of motivation, of getting the most out of the people you're working with."
The Vox candidate said he wants to "create a better reservoir of manpower and ideas" and that "efficiency and proper administration are probably the most pressing responsibilities of the elected executive.
"We are concerned with a better relationship with the administration and with the other organs," he said.
Q. How do you feel about student apathy and what would you do about it?
"To be brutally frank, I get tired of talking about apathy." North said. "I think if student government is what it should be this would not be a topic tonight. As we see it, we have a situation where people don't care because they've been given no reason to care.
"Student government has been caught up in its own little world. It has not as yet involved itself in the students' world. Until we can drag the ASC out of its own processes, its own committees and departments, and force it, if nothing else to focus upon student needs, apathy will continue to exist."
Apathy in its historical context has only been a stage of development, North said.
"When people don't care, it's not a situation where they're going to start caring less. They're going to start acting on it," he said."

Craig-
The Vox platform supports the idea that students who are not members of the All Student Council may run for student body president and vice-president. I agree that there are probably many individuals—who are not council members who are qualified for the job, such as past presidents of SUA, AWS, and so forth.
But to completely understand the functions of student government, one must first have a working knowledge of the ASC to be aware of the many functions and complexities of student government.
IN GENERAL, the assaults, foreign students' problems, class officers on the ASC and the off-campus accommodation code are things which are currently able to be dealt with. They are minor issues.
Why not deal with the major issues?
I don't oppose the proposal to lower the voting age to 18. . . But I don't think the student lobby is the most effective way to accomplish this.
Voting age is primarily a legislative problem. . . I don't feel that it is our prerogative to drag an educational institution into this problem when it concerns more than just the student.
Q: WHAT ARE THE DUTIES of KU student government officials?
CRAIG: The primary interest of the student body president should be student welfare. This is the realm where he really should center his actions.
There are three other main areas in the role of these student officials, public relations, communications, and activities.
The public relations and communications are only as effective as the student body vice-president—this is where he will be working.
Q: How do you feel about student apathy and what would you do about it?
BRIAN BARKER, UP student body vice-president candidate:
AS I SEE IT, apathy is something circular. Apathy only develops if there is something to be apathetic about.
We want to improve student government and make it a more meaningful part of the student's life at KU. By improving student government, we should increase the student's interest and decrease his apathy.
CRAIG: We must involve more people in student government and break down the present communication barriers which now exist between the student and his government.
IN TRYING TO break the communication barrier, I have proposed in a bill to the ASC the publication of a newsletter, the Council Record.
