Campus campaign
PSA emphasizes academics
The Progressive Student Alliance (PSA) last night emphasized the Academic Affairs section of their platform as they headed into the last days of their campaign.
Mark Edwards, Emporia junior and PSA presidential candidate, said, "it is no longer a dubious proposal of student government to emphasize that students participate in faculty hiring decisions, degree programs, curriculum decisions and departmental policy. It is now a realized necessity."
'Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and PSA vice presidential candidate, commented, "I have been working with this for over a year in the Student Senate and have helped in implementing it into KU's political science department."
Policy development in all departments, said von Ende should be influenced by members of the student body. "The voting student representatives now in the political science department are
a definite influence and I am convinced it will work in all departments," he said.
Edwards said PSA wants to provide "a mechanism in which students can participate in the substructure and superstructure of the University."
"The method we propose is an appropriate method—my running mate has proved that," Edwards added. "The student cannot afford not to pay attention to this part of our platform."
"We will keep it the way it is right now and adjust it only to keep pass/no credit information in the registrars office." he said.
"We think the instructor should not know that a student is taking a course pass/no credit."
Edwards added, "Rick and I are campaigning as a team all the time. We have stressed this in every residence hall and living group we've visited and will try to complement each other right up to election day."
Housing council proposed by CC to oversee policies
Von Ende said the student representatives would be continually working to spot weaknesses in every curriculum. "Drawing upon this basis of student participation in the development of inter-departmental committees," he said, "would create new and relevant curriculums that would relate to changing society."
Edwards said PSA also will work against the moves in various departments to readjust the pass/no credit procedure.
Formation of a Housing Council to oversee social and housing policies in both organized and unorganized living groups was proposed last night by Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village junior and Campus Coalition (CC) presidential candidate.
Officers for the Housing Council would be comprised of presidents of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), Panhellenic Council, Inter-fraternity Council and All Scholarship Hall Council, Leffel said.
