Electioneering begins
By GARY BURGE
KU's three political parties are nominating candidates and putting party platforms into shape this week in preparation for the April 19-20 university elections.
All petitions for office are due at the Dean of Men's office by Thursday and the three parties are expected to announce their full slates then.
VOX POPULI has nominated Ken North, Shawnee Mission sophomore, for student body president, and Guy Davis, Prairie Village junior, for vice president. Vox candidates for the All Studen Council (ASC) offices will be announced Thursday.
The Vox party platform has been finished and approved by party candidates and officials and will be released this week.
Candidates representing University Party (UP) will be made public at a party meeting Thursday night. UP officials have been interviewing prospective candidates who have applied for UP backing.
THE UP PLATFORM, which reportedly will call for revision of the ASC committee system, will be announced April 11 following ratification by the party. Don Chubb, Topeka junior and UP head, said the platform will provide concrete issues and "help to improve political images."
The Kansas University Progressive Alliance (KUPA), newly formed last semester, said Monday it will not nominate candidates for student body offices "at the present." Bill Sampson, Topeka junior and president of KUPA, said the party will have
a full ASC slate which will be announced Thursday.
"We think we can push the platform and still get things done with a slate of ASC candidates," Sampson said. "At the present, it is a financial impossibility for us to run a full slate of both ASC and student body candidates."
SAMPSON REFERRED to the capital, including money for advertising, posters, candidate cards and so forth, needed for a successful campaign.
The KUFA election platform, to be announced April 10, will be concerned mainly with changes in ASC methods and representation, according to John Hill, Waverly senior and party election committee member.
VISTA provides unique sabbatical
By RICH LOVETT
A college coed left her temporary home in a Kansas City slum yesterday to help man a Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) information table in the Kansas Union.
Tomorrow she'll be back in Kansas City fighting poverty again.
Jane Endler, originally from New York, is part of a team of VISTA volunteers, ex-volunteers and other representatives on campus to recruit students and give out VISTA applications and information. Most will remain at KU through tomorrow.
"Ive learned more this year than in the past two years at college," Miss Endler said. "I've been simply submerged in social work."
MISS ELDER interrupted her studies at the University of Colorado to join VISTA because she "wanted to get some service work experience" and thought "the best time would be between by sophomore and junior years."
After completing her year in VISTA service she plans to return to college for a master's degree in community organization.
HER WORK as a VISTA volunteer often continues 24 hours a day, she said. Sometimes she is
phoned in the middle of the night or early in the morning at the tenement house where she lives. It is usually someone who wants to talk about a problem.
Being a VISTA worker is "extremely frustrating at times," said Miss Endler. "The social worker who works just from 9-5 doesn't realize all the problems that do exist."
She has been serving in Kansas City since last August. Along with other VISTA workers, she has helped start recreation centers, Boy and Girl Scout troops, adult education classes, a coffee house and tutoring sessions taught by high school and college students.
IN HELPING to organize tenant associations in seven housing developments, she and others have united poor whites and Negroes so they can effectively present grievances to Kansas City's Association of Tenant Councils.
There are 11 VISTA workers presently serving in Kansas City "poverty pockets."
When she isn't doing anything else, Miss Endler said, "I just walk around. I go up and down the streets talking with people. I knock on doors. You can't just walk down the street and not help—you've got to do something."
"We are very much concerned about the Council," Hill said. "We would like to see the best possible people in the Council so it can do the best possible job."
AT STAKE in the spring elections are 24 offices: one seat in the ASC for each of the ten schools, student body president and vice-president, and president and vice-president, treasurer and secretary for upcoming sophomore, junior and senior classes.
All candidates must have petitions signed by at least 400 students of they are running for a class or student body office, and 150 students or 40 per cent of the school they wish to represent if they are candidates for an ASC seat.
Student body candidates must have served on the ASC or have attended its meetings since December to be eligible. ASC candidates must currently be enrolled in the school they represent. Candidates may file petitions and run for office without a party endorsement.

Gas will never cost you much. (You'll get about 27 miles to the gallon.)
And the amount of oil you use is like a drop in the bucket. (It only takes 2.7 quart and almost never needs more between changes.)
And the engine is air-cooled, so you don't have to spend a red cent for anti-freeze or rust inhibitors. And you get more than your money's worth out of a set of tires (around 40,000 miles).
But don't think buying a new Volkswagen is just another get-rich-quick scheme.
You have to wait until the second set of tires, wear out.
