Vox Populi Party Election Platform
CURRENT CAMPUS ISSUES
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
Since the basis of higher education is achieved through freedom of thought and objective discussion and since this principle has been subjected to uncalled for attacks from organizations outside the immediate University family; Vox Populi calls upon the All Student Council to:
(1) Continue its active defense of this student right.
(2) Effectively utilize the Current Events Committee with the cooperation and support of other recognized campus organizations.
CIVIL RIGHTS
Vox Populi, firmly believing in the "worth of the individual," holds the following premises to have been proven true by history.
- That no man should be judged on a basis of race, creed, or place of national origin.
- That discrimination on the basis of any or all of these has been and will continue to be a blight on the American Character.
- That persuasion, suggestion, (i.e., "moral suasion") and the individual action will do far more towards the ultimate defeat of prejudice than will punitive action with its associated threats and force.
Based on these three premises, Vox Populi asserts and supports the following proposals:
(1) That continued support be given to the Human Rights Committee, the All Student Council, and the Administration to deal with discriminatory matters.
(2) Concerned specifically with the current issue of "Greek discriminatory clauses," Vox Populi urges those houses in question to remove their clauses but does not support punitive action on the part of the All Student Council or the Administration.
GENERAL LEGISLATION STUDENT COURT
The Student Court's function is to receive student appeals for traffic fines, disciplinary matters, etc. Despite the fact that the Student Court is one of the major branches of student government, it has not been used to its full potential. Vox feels that this lack of use is due to the insufficient publicity coupled with organizational deficiencies. To remedy these problems we will make the following four changes:
(1) Publicity
The activities and functions of the Student Court will be publicized by the All Student Council.
(2) Organizational
(a) The associate justices will be appointed by the Student Body President, the Dean of the Law School, and the immediate past Chief Justice of the Student Court.
(b) The appellate provisions will be revised to provide a clear method of direct appeal to the entire Student Court and then, if necessary, to disciplinary Committee.
(c) The jurisdictional boundaries between the Student Court and the
Disciplinary Committee will be defined by the All Student Council.
ALL STUDENT COUNCIL FUNDS
The expanding scope of student government requires additional money in order to:
- Meet the growing needs of Council-supported activities, e.g. People-to-People.
- Provide for efficient operation of All Student Council committees, e.g. Current Events Committee.
- Meet the expense of future activities.
To increase the operating funds for the All Student Council, Vox Populi proposes the appropriation for AWS be made directly by the University.
Vox Populi proposes that Statewide Activities be revitalized by:
STATEWIDE ACTIVITIES
(1) Establishing a student-faculty committee to select qualified students to represent KU in high school, civic and other community groups throughout the state.
(2) Establishing a conference for high school leaders to acquaint outstanding high school leaders with the advantages of attending KU.
BIG EIGHT COLLEGE BOWL.
Vox Populi will work to establish a Big Eight College Bowl in continuation of our revitalization of the Big Eight Student Government Association.
STUDENT UNION FACILITIES
Vox Populi proposes the extension of student services to include the sale of sundry items in the Student Union and the university residence halls.
PARKING
The traffic control system to be instituted next fall will inconvenience students driving cars. Vox Populi proposes that the Traffic and Security Office grant parking permits for zones on the perimeter of the campus to any student desiring to purchase one.
