Vox to Support Move in ASC For Secretary
Vox Populi last night voted unanimously to support a move in the All Student Council to hire a part-time executive secretary.
Support for the move was requested by Ron Gallagher, Fort Scott senior and ASC representative from the School of Journalism, in a letter to Ted Childers, Vox president.
IN THE LETTER Gallagher said he believes the ASC has "definite need" for an executive secretary.
After the meeting Childers said Vox is interested in and willing to support the suggestion.
"I want to point out that I do not think that the present condition of the ASC office indicates that the secretary or her committee are not doing their jobs," he wrote. "I feel that there are certain deficiencies inherent in the present system and that it would be difficult to correct them even with the most active secretarial staff, operating under the present ASC regulations.
"I THINK THAT THE creation of a paid secretarial position will eliminate the deficiencies."
"For the ASC to function as it should and as we would like to see it functioning, an executive secretary is definitely needed," he said. "As the ASC expands its operations it is going to need some additional help in the office."
"THIS ACTION HAS the potential to put vitality into the ASC," he continued. "The council is getting to the point where it is running into a stone wall from sheer work load."
Asked to make a prediction about the coming ASC elections, Roger Wilson, Wichita junior and Greek vice president of Vox, said:
"We feel that we have a powerful party and we go on the assumption that if we get out all of our votes we will win all 10 seats"
Mike Harris, Shawnee Mission junior and executive vice president of Vox, announced at the meeting that Sunday night had been set as the tentative time for ASC candidate interviews.
March 24 was set as the beginning of candidate orientation and April 8 was set as the beginning of the campaign.

143 Quered In First Poll
The Student Opinion Poll group sponsored by the KU Young Republicans finished its first poll last night.
The general topic was academic standards and admission procedures at KU. The exact questions and tabulated results will be released by next Tuesday
The number of students polled has been reduced to 143 from the original estimate of 200. The number of students available to make the telephone calls was less than had been expected because of study for mid- semester examinations.
Jerry Dickson, president of the KU Young Republicans, and other YR members supplemented the Frosh Hawk telephone committee.
The group expects to get a larger sample for the next poll. More members of the telephone committee will be able to make the calls when midsemester examinations are over.
Peter Wellington, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, is coordinating the telephone committee with the poll group.
Book Includes Gunn's Story
An English editor apparently believes that a story by James E. Gunn, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, is one of the "best tales of terror."
Edmund Crispin has included Mr. Gunn's story, "The Misogynist," in an anthology called "Best Tales of Terror," being published by Faber & Faber.
"This is the first time I've been paid for a story in pounds," Mr Gunn said.
"The Misogynist" has been published three times before. It first appeared in "Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine" in November 1952. It was included in the Permabook anthology, "Shadow of Tomorrow" (1953), and the "Second Galaxy Reader of Science Fiction" (Crown, 1954).
Mr. Gunn has published 48 other stories and four books. A new book, "The Immortals," will appear later this year or early next year.
Charles Landesman Jr., assistant professor of philosophy, will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union. He will talk on "A Defense of Humanism."
Landesman to Speak Tuesday
Prof. Lanesman taught at Yale from 1557-1959. He came to KU in 1959. He has published articles on the philosophy of language and on the problems of memory.

EVIAN, France — (UPI) — French-Algerian peace talks continued to make good progress here today despite a battle between their armed forces on the Tunisian border. Informed sources said there was a good chance of a cease-fire by March 15.
However, they added that the most difficult issues are being left to the end and these could create last-minute hitches.
At the same time, "El Moujahid," official organ of the Algerian rebel army, issued a threat to break off negotiations and continue the war unless France bowed to last-ditch rebel demands.
Algerian Peace Talks Continue Despite Battle
These consisted of claims for greater powers in the mixed provisional government which will run Algeria for a transition period after a cease-fire and for more manpower for the security force.
