UP Attacks Vox's Platform, ASC Role
The University Party last night added another chapter in the annual pre-All Student Council elections log of charges and countercharges by attacking Vox Populi, its platform and its leadership in the ASC.
In the party's General Assembly meeting Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission sophomore, accused Vox of a "lack of knowledge of campus affairs" in regard to their platform plank which calls for the establishment of a Big Eight College Bowl.
HE SAID HE IS A MEMBER OF the College Intermediary Board, and that this board has initiated a Campus College Bowl and is already investigating the possibility of the extension of the event into a Big Eight College Bowl.
He continued, saying the previous action on the Bowl makes it an area for the College Intermediary Board and not of a political party. He added that he was viewing the subject from the eyes of an Intermediary Board member and not a campus politician.
Gerald (Kep) Kepner, Wichita junior and UP's candidate for Stuart Roberts.
Student Body President, said, "The big place where Vox is lax is on the ASC committees." He said that the committees of the ASC should be under direct control of the Council and because this is not currently the case, some are functioning inefficiently.
He pointed to two planks of the Vox platform to substantiate his accusation. These planks called for the establishment of the Big Eight College Bowl and for the increased action by the Statewide Activities program.
HE SAID THAT IF THE COMMITTEES of the ASC had been functioning efficiently, both of the matters would have been taken care of in the publicity committee instead of in the platform of a political party.
He said the Peace Pact with the University of Missouri which appeared in the UP platform last fall should have been taken care of in an ASC committee. He said, "There was no need for this to be a political issue."
Jim Anderson, Lawrence senior and Greek co-chairman of UP, said that Vox has put "a fog cloud over what it has done in the past and what the committees have not done."
HE SAID IT was a "beautiful cover-up job." He said that the plank which says that Vox will back the committees of the ASC is an example of this. He said some of these committees have never met.
In further action, the party discussed the coming campaign. Anderson stressed that candidates would have to run their own campaigns until after the primary elections next week.
