Candidates debate campaign issues
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Vox policy discussed
By RICH LOVETT
Candidates for student body president and vice-president debated key issues in their campaigns in the main lounge of Ellsworth Hall during a Daily Kansan-sponsored session last night.
The debaters were Kyle Craig, Joplin, Mo., sophomore (UP), and Ken North, Shawnee Mission sophomore (Vox), presidential candidates; Brian Barker, Virginia Water, England, graduate student (UP), and Guy F. Davis, Prairie Village junior (Vox), vice-presidential candidates.
Here are some of the questions presented by UDK staff members and the audience, and the candidates' replies:
Q. What is your view of the opposing party's platform?
"We felt it was time, and many students expected something more than the general run-of-the-mill platform they've been exposed to in the past," North said. "We felt that a platform . . . should be a commitment, not just what you say you're going to do but what you've got to do."
North said he was dissatisfied with the UP platform for several reasons:
- "UP failed, at least in our opinion, to specifically point out what they felt student government could do and what the roles of student government should be. We were disappointed that UP just gave us the four points in their platform. . . You have a right to expect the holes to be filled." he said.
- In reference to part of UP's platform calling for campus parking fines to be set at a reasonable, standard rate. North said these fines finance parking lots, other related facilities, and the maintenance of these facilities.

Balloting for student body posts will take place tomorrow and Thursday at polls in the Kansas Union, Murphy Hall and the Strong Hall rotunda.
The polls will be open on both days from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Students must present their KU I.D. and current certificate of registration to be allowed to vote.
Balloting to begin tomorrow
In all, 23 offices will be voted on: president and vice-president of the student body, four top offices each for next year's sophomore, junior and senior classes and nine representatives to the All Student Council (ASC) from the schools and College.
About 33 per cent of KU students voted in the campus-wide referendum last semester. Dolph Johnson, chairman of the ASC elections committee, predicted this polling will gain a higher voter percentage due to the election of a student body president.
Craig gives his views
By JOHN MARSHALL
(Editor's note: Kyle Craig and Ken North debated last night in Ellsworth Hall. Portions of Craig's comments are quoted below and North's are on the left. The Daily Kansan's endorsement of one of these candidates is on page two.)
Q: What is your view of the opposing party's platform?
Craig: As I read the Vox Whitepaper, I notice the title. "Student Power at KU." . . . I'm all for student power. Right now KU students don't have the power on campus that they should have. Yet Vox is already talking about going out into the political and legislative field for their power, when the problem of political power on campus has not yet been handled.
I AM OPPOSED TO THIS position of power for power's sake alone.
About the teacher's and building facilities with which Vox is also concerned—there is already a very strong lobby group in the legislature which is doing a great deal in this area. I doubt the ability of a student organization to serve as effectively as a professional lobby group in the legislature.
I don't think student government should involve itself with a policy making organization outside its own campus.
The Vox platform advocates the creation of an executive department of University Services, involved also with student housing.
THERE IS CURRENTLY an off-campus living committee headed by Laurence C. Woodruff through which various appeals may be sent.
Vox also wants to create a student accommodations code. The Off-Campus Living Committee already has its own code, and I'm not sure why we need another off-campus accommodations code to deal with complaints.

3 things attributed to greatest films
The great film is emphasized by originality and stamped with the director's style, said Arthur Knight, professor of cinema at Southern California University, last night.
Knight, motion picture critic for
the Saturday Review and co-author of Playboy's "Sex in The Cinema" series, spoke to a full house in Dyche Auditorium on "The Best Films of All Time."
May mail 4th edition
Yearbook lags behind
By JOAN McCABE
UDK Managing Editor
Today the second edition of the 1967 Jayhawker hits the street, but, according to Tom Yoe, Jayhawker advisor, the fourth edition will probably mailed to you.
The release date for the third edition is also in doubt. The third issue, according to Blake Biles, Hutchinson junior and editor, will be 180 pages instead of the usual 110 pages in length. It has not gone to the printers, Allen Press, as yet.
IT WILL TAKE approximately three weeks to run the third edition once it reaches the printer and, then, at least two weeks for the fourth issue once it gets there. Since there are only seven weeks left in this semester, Tom Yoe has indicated that mechanically it is impossible to meet the deadlines.
To mail the fourth edition, Yoe said the advertising will have to be deleted so the book can
be mailed at book rates since the Jayhawker does not have second class mailing rates.
A statement to this effect will be prepared soon by the editor and the business manager, according to Yoe.
Although there is no such thing as the best film of all time, Knight said the great films have three things in common.
Biles still maintains that the book will be out during final week. About one-half of the third issue has gone to the printers.
Yoe said he has discussed this with the staff and that a coupon type of advertisement will be run in the University Daily Kansan for students to use for filling in their summer address so the books may be sent to them.
YOE INDICATED THAT IT might be necessary to mail the third section as well and said that he hopes this won't be the case.
- An element of vitality brought about by the quality of the director.
Biles said he was surprised to hear that there had been any speculation on the possibility of mailing the last issue and that he had no knowledge of the coupon or the statement, which Yoe said will be forthcoming.
- An awareness of the camera as an expressive instrument.
