Campus campaign
Coalition wants decentralization
Emphasizing that the most important issues at KU take place in the various schools, Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village junior and Campus Coalition presidential candidate, last night submitted his Internal Affairs platform.
Proposed in the platform is a student council in each school which would be headed by a representative from the Student Senate from that school.
Four cabinets are also proposed by the Coalition: Academic, Campus, Extra-University, and Internal Affairs. Students in these cabinets would keep in close contact with problems of their particular area, Leffel said.

PSA campaigns visits Greeks scholarship hall
The Progressive Student Alliance (PSA) continued their campaign last night as both the presidential and vice-presidential candidates visited Battenfield Scholarship Hall and the Phi Kappa Theta house.
Mark Edwards, Emporia junior and PSA presidential candidate and Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and PSA vice-presidential candidate made brief presentations during the two appearances and then answered questions about their platform.
Both Edwards and von Ende emphasized the stated purposes of the Western Civ course are contradicted by the comprehensive exam. "We are going to work immediately to put the comprehensive on a pass/no credit basis," said von Ende. "Then we will eventually work to abolish it."
Edwards said, "appreciation for the course is ruined by the cramming one has to do for the comprehensive." He added he didn't believe the student is well served through independent study when a comprehensive eventually has to be taken.
During the appearances, both candidates explained their platform proposals on student participation in academic affairs; the hiring of more black professors by the University, conversion of KU Bookstore profits into tutorial programs, and raising the base pay of graduate teaching assistants.

ISP flies into campaign
The Independent Student Party (ISP) has scheduled a potpourri of campaign activity for this first week of official campaigning.
Highlights of ISP activity will be an hour-long picketing of the Kansas City television station KCMO-TV at 4:30 Wednesday and a "Pleasure Party" Saturday, said Marilyn Bowman, Merriam junior and ISP vice-presidential candidate.
Miss Bowman said the picketing of the CBS television affiliate was in response to the cancellation of the Smothers Brothers Show. The cancellation came as a result of a censorship fight, and ISP recognizes the "hypocrisy" which CBS demonstrated, she said referring
