Bretschneider is a former Vox representative to the All Student Council from the large men's residence hall district.
Harry Bretschneider, Kansas City Mo., senior, has resigned as independent vice-president of Vox Populi.
Bretschneider said he disaffiliated with Vox because Bill Brier, Overland Park senior and a contender for Vox's student body president nomination, dropped out of the party. Brier, who is not enrolled at KU this semester, is now working for the Johnson County Young Republicans.
der felt that he could not spend the time and effort in the spring elections.
"Bretschneider wanted Vox to run an independent for student body president, and wanted an independent for party president," Bornholdt said.

Ellsworth Gets Sundial
The KU sundial, given to KU by the Alumni Association's former executive secretary Fred Ellsworth, will find its permanent resting place near KU's newest residence hall which bears Ellsworth's name.
In this age of planned obsorescence, it may be comforting to know that man's oldest known method of telling time will soon be in use at KU.
The sundial, a half-moon shaped piece of metal about a foot from top to bottom, marks the hours from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is inscribed "The days go by with sun and showers, I only mark the shining hours."
According to J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories at KU, the timepiece will be mounted on a suitable base and placed near Ellsworth Hall before commencement.
First, though, calculations must be made to avoid placing the sundial in the shadows of the future 10-story 950-man residence hall which will be constructed just south of Ellsworth Hall by the fall of 1965.
The original owner of the sundial is Mrs. William Savage Johnson, 1509 Crescent Rd., supporter of the University and widow of the long-time chairman of the KU English department.
Mrs. Johnson's brother-in-law made the sundial about 30 years ago as an ornament for the Johnsons' garden. The Johnsons did not have an appropriate base for it, and in 1957 Mrs. Johnson gave it to the Ellsworths who had just built a new house.
The Ellsworths came across the same problem, and when the University constructed Ellsworth Hall the sundial was donated to the University.
