Sophomores offered choice for junior class officers
By Jill Brackbill Kansan Staff Reporter
As sophomores go to the polls Wednesday and Thursday to vote for next year's junior class officers, they will find they have a choice—even though most of their choice will be between declared and write-in candidates.
Larry Spikes, Garden City sophomore, and John Geissal, Prairie Village sophomore, will appear on the ballot for junior class president. Spikes, however, is joined by a declared coalition while Geissal's coalition is composed entirely of write-ins.
Running with Spikes are Rick Durrett, Shawnee Mission sophomore, vice-president; Jan Merrick, Prairie Village sophomore, secretary; and Patricia Scott, Topeka sophomore, treasurer. Write-in candidates on Geissal's coalition are Monte Lightner, Salina sophomore, vice-president; Earb Nash, Burr Ridge, Ill., sophomore, secretary; and Ceee Starnes, Wichita sophomore, treasurer.
Spikes said Monday his coalition has campaigned "pretty hard." and feels the reaction to them has been favorable. But as for winning, he said, "You never know. You just hope."
Geissal said he decided to run because there was only one coalition and "I didn't like that." He felt the sophomores should have a choice.
When Geissal entered the campaign, he said, he thought he had a chance of winning, but as the campaign has progressed it has become harder.
Spikes' campaign has been directed at getting the students out to vote. He feels it is necessary to show the administration that the students are interested in campus politics. Also, to accomplish some of the things they want to do, he said, it will be necessary to have support from the entire student body.

Spikes said his coalition's platform includes proposals to have student hats—Big Blue hats—and in order to keep the cost of them down, the officers would investigate projects to support the hat fund.
They also plan a University sandbar party, pep rallies, and student scholarships. Spikes said
the coalition candidates have talked to Lawrence Mayor Richard Raney about the possibility of having students work on community projects or services.
Geissal said if he wins the class presidency he would try to unify the junior class as much as possible. There should be more organization, he said, so more could be accomplished. He also said the junior class would try to formulate plans for their senior year.
