ISP candidates may be ineligible
Peter Monge and Lyle "Buzz" Fisher announced Thursday they would be write-in candidates for the offices of student body president and vice-president in the April All-Student Council (ASC) elections.
Monge, Wichita junior, candidate for president; and Fisher, Bird City junior, candidate for vice-president, are sponsored by the Independent Student Party (ISP).
There are some questions about the eligibility of Monge and Fisher as candidates in the spring All-Student Council (ASC) elections.
According to an ASC constitutional ruling on these matters, candidates for president or vicepresident will be considered ineligible if they have no previous ASC experience. Neither Mongoose nor Fisher have served on ASC.
The constitution provides a way for such candidates to achieve eligibility, but neither Fisher nor Monge have followed this course of action.
If a candidate who has not served on ASC for the required one semester wishes to run, he must submit a written statement to the ASC secretary declaring his intentions at the first regularly scheduled ASC meeting in December.
The candidate must attend all subsequent meetings of the council until election time, and must be available for committee work as well.
This is to give candidates a knowledge of the workings of the council so they will be better prepared for their term of office, said Jim Kelly, Tonganoxie senior and member of the ASC election committee.
"If Fisher or Monge were elected, their elections would probably be declared invalid," Kelly said Thursday.
Another problem in the candidacy of Monge and Fisher is that both are running for other ASC positions in the spring elections.
If either candidates were elected to two positions, he would probably lose both, said Kelly. An appeal may be made to the student court, which would base its decision on the ASC constitution.
The ISP candidates think they have grounds for an appeal to the student court if this should happen, they said at the Thursday night meeting. They also strongly believe they can fight the ruling which says they must have had previous experience with ASC.
At the meeting, ISP members accepted a revised form of the platform which was proposed Wednesday night by ISP leaders.
In addition to the ISP platform planks which were listed in the Wednesday issue of the Kansan, the members approved two new planks.
The platform now asks for student participation in the regulation of campus traffic and parking, and a revision of existing ASC electoral procedures.

McCarthy will stay in race
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy made clear Thursday he intended to battle through the primaries, but indicated he and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy might make "some kind of settlement" at the Democratic National Convention.
McCarthy's statement during a television interview with CBS Evening News came at the end of a long day of political speculation about the effect of Kennedy's announcement that he might run for president after all.
The Minnesota Democrat, a peace candidate and President Johnson's only announced opponent for the nomination, refused to say on or off camera what kind of "settlement" he had in mind.
Kennedy conferred with aides and had no immediate comment.
