ASC Member Airs Gripes About Support From UP
By Mike Miller and Murrel Bland
A University Party member of the All Student Council said last night that he was not given full party support either during his campaign or during his term on the ASC.
Michael E. Miner, Lawrence freshman and ASC representative from the unmarried-unorganized district, made the charge during an impromptu political discussion last night in the Daily Kansan newsroom.
"I DONT THINK I was given as much support during the election in proportion to the size of my district as the other UP candidates were." Miner said.
"I thought the Vox Populi support of Charles Allphin was far superior to the UP support of me," he said. Miner defeated the Vox candidate by two votes of the 179 cast by the unmarried-unorganized students.
James Anderson, Lawrence senior and Greek co-chairman of the party, said that each candidate sets up his own campaign.
"We only refer the candidates to people in the district that we know are interested," he said.
Miner said he has not been regularly notified of party meetings, but added that he does not think he has ever missed a meeting. Tom Hardy, Hoisington junior and independent
co-chairman of UP, said it is possible that Miner's name was "accidentally left off the calling list."
MINER ALSO SAID he was not given fair consideration during the pre-ASC meeting party caucuses held to discuss resolutions to be brought up in the Council meetings.
"Any candidate running from the unmarried-unorganized district must win on his personal appeal and not on party organization," he said. "The chief advantages of party membership for a candidate from the unmarried-unorganized district lies in the fact that once he is elected, the candidate has other members of the Council who will support his views."
Miner said he was inexperienced and lacked background in campus
Miner said he had not discussed his grievances with UP leaders before coming to the Kansan.
"I have been to some caucus meetings where I have sat and not learned an awful lot." he said.
Discussing the UP support during the election, Miner said, "My name ran on the UP list of candidates. This was the only support which I received from the University Party. Although I was helped by one UP man with contacting foreign students, most of my support came from my personal Lawrence friends."
political affairs, but added. "I don't see any reason why I should have to ask the party leaders to give me the information which I need. The parties should take more interest in their candidates after they are elected."
HARDY EXPLAINED the UP point of view.
Brian Grace, Lawrence sophomore and independent vice president of Vox Populi, originally informed the Kansan that Miner was dissatisfied with UP.
Grace, who said he had been a personal friend of Miner's for some time, accompanied Miner to the Kansas last night. Grace said he had been trying to convince Miner to shift his allegiance to Vox, in view of his complaint against UP.
But Miner said last night he had not yet decided what his political future would be.
He said he was not given as much help in learning about ASC affairs as the member from the freshman women's dormitory district, Annette Luyben, Kansas City, Mo.
"If some changes are not made real quick, I will become anti-UP but not necessarily pro-Vox." Miner said.
Hardy explained, "We logically try to inform the freshman members of the ASC, but we did not consider that Miner needed too much help because he seemed to have a good grasp of campus affairs. We

Moslem to Command Security Force

Vox OKs Planks After 2nd Try
After two wrangling meetings, Vox Populi last night ratified an eight-point platform for the coming All Student Council elections.
Vox members had originally hoped to ratify the platform before Spring vacation, but considerable discussion was raised and the platform was returned to committee for style changes.
THE PLATFORM is based on three planks which are:
- A reorganization of the Student Court which will give more direct aid to the students.
- A campus parking system which calls for certain zone permits being available to any students who request them.
- Increasing the efficiency of Statewide Activities in order to attract more qualified high school students to KU.
The complete text of the Vox Populi platform is on page eight.
THE PARTY PROPOSES that the Student Court at KU can be more effective through more publicity of its actions and through a change in the Court's organization.
Brian Grace, Lawrence sophomore, explained that in the past it was necessary for the Campus police to restrict the number of parking permits to certain parking zones such as Zone S, O, X and N because the officers were busy on campus directing traffic. Since the on-campus traffic will be greatly curtailed by the proposed traffic plan, the officers will have the time to patrol the zones.
THE STATEWIDE ACTIVITIES plank is aimed at improving the current system which Ted Childers, Wamego senior and president of the party, describes as "not as effective as it might be."
He proposed a Student-to-Student plan which he hoped would attract the high ranking Kansas high school student to KU rather than to other colleges.
CHILDERS SAID THAT Vox proposes that the ASC's Current Events Committee be used to secure speakers regardless of the speaker's political viewpoint. He explained that the plank did not call for restricting the rights of other campus groups to bring in speakers.
He criticized groups outside the University for trying to censor speakers at KU.
The Vox platform calls for additional money for the ASC to meet the needs of Council-supported activities such as People-to-People, efficient operation of ASC committees such as the Current Events Committee, and future activities such as the proposed secretary to the ASC, and the Big Eight Government Association.
THIS PLANK ALSO calls for the source of funds for the All Women's Senate be changed from the ASC to the University.
Childers said that if the action for removal of discriminatory clauses in the constitutions of some KU living groups is going to have meaning and if it is going to be more than just an empty action, it must be done by the individual living group on its own accord.
The plank also calls for continued support of the Human Rights Committee of the ASC.
The idea for a College Bowl came out of the enthusiasm shown at KU over the campus College Bowl, he said. He said, "it might be interesting to get the Big Eight schools to compete on an intellectual level as well as the usual athletic.
He said this might help KU take the lead in setting the Big Eight Student Government Association moving again.
HAVANA — (UPI) — Four Cuban exiles representing the families of 1,179 captured Cuban invaders arrived today to bargain with Fidel Castro on his 62-million ransom demand for the prisoners' freedom.
The delegation, which flew here from Miami, has been authorized to offer $28-million in "goods and products" to meet Castro's stiff ransom demand.
The Cuban premier is seeking cash for the release of the men sentenced last Saturday to 30 years at hard labor in an unprecedented four-day trial at Havana's Principe prison.
The three men and a woman represent the "Cuban Families Committee for the Liberation of Prisoners of War." Before leaving Miami they expressed confidence their mission would be successful and they expected to meet personally with the Cuban leader who authorized their visit here.
4 Cuban Exiles Plan To Aid 1,179 Others
In sentencing the men to prison the court martial grouped them into four ransom categories—$25,000,$50,000,$100,000 and $500,000. The three leaders of the invasion force, which landed on the southern coast last April 17, are in the half million dollar category.
The four negotiators are Alvaro
Before leaving Miami they outlined their hopes and general conditions for bargaining.

In Washington, U.S. officials estimated Cuba is holding an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 political prisoners in overcrowded jails.
The 1.179 invasion prisoners represent only a small fraction of the total political inmates of Cuban nails.
However, the Kennedy administration, while keeping out of the invaders-for-ransom affair, is placing no obstacles in the way of the private negotiation effort by Cuban exiles, officials said.
