Appeal-
(Continued from page 1) of the Student Court.
Miller originally asked in his appeal that the Student Court enjoin the counting of any ballots until the case could be heard by the court.
Hampton told Miller he had to have a ruling of the Election Committee on his appeal before any rejoiner action could be taken.
The Election Committee's ruling was that "We intend to count the ballots and then any action is up to you."
Miller and his counsel, Bob Montgomery, Topeka second year law student, went to Summerfield Hall and asked for a ruling from the Election Committee.
Hampton later informed the Election Committee that the election was now subject to the Student Court's decision on the Miller appeal.
Post Office strike hits
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The first strike in the 195-year history of the U.S. Post Office hit the Nixon Administration at a time when it is pressing hard for major reforms to modernize the antiquated mail delivery system—including collective bargaining for postal workers.
The White House said Wednesday President Nixon is "concerned" about the strike in the New York City metropolitan area and that Postmaster General Winton M. Blount had been "working around the clock" because of it.

Bills signed by Docking
TOPEKA (UPI)—Gov. Robert B. Docking Wednesday signed a batch of legislative bills into law. Included was a bill raising the maximum interest rates on bonds.
Under the proposal, maximum interest rates on general obligation bonds issued by taxing subdivisions will be hiked from $5 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent to seven per cent. It also increases the maximum interest rate on revenue bonds and temporary notes issued from six to eight per cent.
Also signed into law was a bill
making it a crime to promote obscene material to minors. The new law increases the penalty for such a violation from a misdemeanor on the first offense to a felony on the third conviction within two years after a previous conviction.
Docking also signed a bill requested by doctors at the University of Kansas Medical Center. It outlines a legal definition of death as part of the state's law providing for organ transplants.
Another measure signed raises
the salary of the chairman of the Kansas Corporation Commission from $15,000 to $19,500 per year and the pay of the other two commissioners from $14,000 to $18,000 per year.
Also signed were bills which would:
- Make opening, damaging or removing coin-operated machines a misdemeanor.
- Raise the maximum limit on damages in a suit for wrongful death from $35,000 to $50,000.
Victory-

has done some really important things for this campus. They have really opened some eyes. Dave Miller and Dan Beck, I think, have represented a significant number of persons very well, and I don't think that that should be discounted."
Retonde attributed Alliance's margin of victory to the freshman and sophomore votes. "The party," he said, "got more freshman and sophomores involved with the hope that by the time they become juniors and seniors, they'll still be interested."
Peter George, Tuckahoe, N.Y., law student and presidential candidate for ISP declined to make a statement.
David Miller, Eudora, junior, and the Independent Party's presidential candidate said, "The 4,200 turnout was bad; not nearly enough for us to be elected."
Miller said he blamed the political machinery of the other two parties and the poor turnout at the polls for their defeat. "Independents," he said, "with no machinery have no chance at all unless there is a turnout of at least 6-7,000 voters."
Cigarette bill passes House
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House gave all-but-final congressional approval Wednesday to a bill that would outlaw cigarette commercials on radio and television effective Jan. 2.
The bill, which also would require a tougher health warning on all cigarette packages, climaxes a legislative and regulatory fight dating back to 1965. That was when Congress barred government action against cigarette ads while requiring the first health warning on packs.
