ISP plans strategy, election
The ISP will "make an effort to attract the votes of those students who want the University to play this kind of role in the community—the role of leadership in channeling resources toward effecting meaningful change against ecological pollution and urban decay," George said.
On-campus issues, George said, will center around discrimination against women and the necessity for fuller implementation of the Senate Code.
A meeting was scheduled for Wednesday night to continue work on the platform and on selecting other possible student body presidential candidates.
The Independent Student Party (ISP) began making plans Tuesday night for the student elections in late March.
Possible candidates named for student body president were Peter George, first year law student from Tuckahoe, N.Y. and Bill Hansen, second year law student from Kansas City, Mo.
The primary points of the ISP platform were sketched and will include the "necessity of student involvement and contribution toward solution of problems which face the community and affect the University." Vietnam will not be an issue in the platform, George said.

"The course is applicable to a merchant marine and deals with international law," Mahoney said. "In many ways, it can be useful to anyone, although it is oriented to train a naval officer."
Lt. P. F. Mahoney, instructor for the Navy course, said he thinks the girls have good enough qualifications to have little problems with the course.
Capt G. G. Vernon, who teaches the Army course, said to his knowledge this is the first time women have taken ROTC courses at KU. He added he thinks it will add a little extra interest to the course.
Asked whether the coeds would participate in the field aspects of the course, Vernon said, "The coeds would not actually be part of the drill."
A resolution calling for a study of personnel hiring procedures at state universities has been introduced into the Kansas House of Representatives by Morris Kay (R—Lawrence).
The resolution would authorize the legislative council to study personnel procedures and make recommendations to the 1971 session of the legislature. The resolution would authorize the study of "hiring, contractual relationships, provision for tenure, and teaching and research requirements practiced at present."
The legislative council, a group of legislators who meet at regular intervals when the legislature is not in session, is headed by John Drury, former KU political science professor.
