Lack Of Disinterest Threatens New Party
Campus political campaigns are just beginning, and a new party has finally made itself public.
militarily made The Apathy Party (AP), formed last fall by bi-partisan and nonpartisan campus leaders, developed from a joke into an exchange forum of ideas on student problems.
It now faces the need of a momentous slice of membership, otherwise extinction.
THE IDEA FOR AP bloomed in the mind of Alan Stamper, Plainville senior. Functions began after fall elections, usually taking place after the regular All Student Council meetings on Tuesday nights.
Recent partisan activity of some of AP's members have forced the party to limit its functions.

means AP will have to disband until after the spring elections."
BUT STAMPER, FOUNDER and general secretary of AP's FAG (Fun and Games) Committee, feels differently about the role of the party.
"AP will do its best to confuse the two major parties on every possible insignificant issue, thereby creating chaos in the ranks of those who oppose us; that is, those who claim to be genuinely interested in student government.
"AP's main function during the campaign will be to take a calm, collected look at what goes on—and laugh," Stamper said.
STAMPER STRESSED that AP will not run a slate of candidates to absolutely nothing. "In this respect AP is ahead of the other parties in that we achieve the same results without even trying."
Although most of the AP membership desires to retain their anonymity, there are a few who helped to clarify the purpose of AP.
"At the relaxed atmosphere of an AP meeting KU student leaders develop a deep and common bond of disinterest," said platform chairman, R. Michael Bush, Glendale, Mo., senior.
STAMPER REMAINS convinced that there is still hope for AP in spite of some seriousness in the spring elections.
"We invite anyone interested in the students but not in campus politics to attend our party caucuses held regularly at local campus spots," he said.
