Whelan, Hines in sophomore race
By Susan Brandmeyer Kansan Staff Reporter
Service, scholarship funds and social plans characterize the platforms of the sophomore class presidential candidates.
Coalitions headed by Ward Whelan, Topeka, and Bob Hines, Kansas City, intend to continue projects and traditions of the present class officers.
Other members of Whelan's coalition are Frank Coffey, Salina, vice-president; Janet Winn, Falls Church, Va., secretary; and Patty Johnson, Shawnee Mission, treasurer.
Running on Hines' coalition are
WARD WHELAN
Jeff Van Sickle, Emporia, vicepresident; Sue Petfish, Lawrence, secretary; and Barb Paulsen, Overland Park, treasurer.
Both coalitions plan fund raising projects to carry on support of Project Concern, a non-profit medical relief organization with service centers in South Vietnam.
A scholarship fund for deserving sophomores is another project supported by both coalitions. Hines plans to raise money for the fund through various interclass sponsored activities while Whelan intends to use class dues as was done this year.
However, Hines thinks that some money may be saved on these events. He said beverages may be purchased less expensively than was done this year. Instead of buying beer from the establishment where the parties have previously been held, he proposes to buy it wholesale and hold the parties at less popular locations.
Social functions, particularly more TGIF's, are an integral part of both coalition's plans.
Hines also proposes a Sophomore Club to be held three or four nights a month where beverages would be available at slightly more than wholesale cost.
Besides more TGIF's, Whelan plans a sophomore class dance to be held in the winter and a spring picnic or sandbar party sometime next spring.
Both candidates stress participation in the class congress and think representation definitely needs improving.
Whelan proposes to increase
representation by having one representative from each small living group and one representative from each floor in large living groups.
Hines thinks representation should be proportioned among living groups because there may be only two or three sophomores living on one floor of a dorm and ten times that number on another.
Although neither candidate expresses overwhelming confidence that his coalition will win, both Hines and Whelan intend to work with the class congress even if they are not elected.

Residence Halls, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and the Interresidence Hall Council," Conrad said.
The candidate from the other side of the fence isn't as optimistic.
Peter Monge, Wichita junior and write-in candidate for the Independent Student Party (ISP), "doesn't see a great value in the ASC as it is, and doesn't believe a re-evaluation would help much." Part of the problem as seen by Monge is the "administration believes the ASC should be a 'deliberative body' only."
Monge thinks the ASC has deliberated for years and hasn't done anything, so he wants "to bypass the ASC and setup a parallel structure." This parallel structure would be a continuation of the organization setup now in the dorms, Monge said.
"ISP is concerned with two areas, one is electoral politics—a minor interest—and the other is to go out as an interest group and push students to action," Monge said.
As the two party structures are different, so are the relationships of the candidates to the parties different.
Conrad sees himself as one of UP's candidates while Monge sees himself more identified with the party. Conrad tried to explain his loose party affiliation by stating he wasn't the leader of his party, but did support the University Party candidates.
This distinction may be seen as a step away from the closely tied

partisan politics, if Conrad defeats Monge in the election.
Other more obvious differences between the two candidates may be seen in the major platform planks of the parties.
The differences in platforms were discounted by Monge who said the differences lie in implementation.
"I don't see much difference in the platforms—but that is only natural since UP did such a nice job of pirating when they took much of last semester's ISP platform and claimed it as theirs," Monge said.
"The difference is UP seems only willing to go through channels and ISP is willing to try channels first, and then go to direct action—from petition on up to student rallies and demonstrations." Monge said.
"We think it is important to go through proper channels for permanent changes. If we can't get what we want, then we will exert some real pressure," Conrad added.
Not to be outdone, Conrad countered. "If we can't go through the proper channels to determine University policy, then we will exert pressure through initiative, referendum and petition, if necessary." Conrad said.
The idea of student pressure is embodied in some of the platform planks of both parties.
"A toss of a coin would be as good an indication as any of which coalition will win," Hines said. "Although I think there is a possibility that the coalitions may be split. No matter what the outcome of the election is though, I would like to work with the class congress. I think both platforms have some good ideas which should be carried out."
Both candidates feel students should have more voice in academic affairs.
