100 Hear SG Candidates
Fire Their Opening Salvos
As Election Date Nears

Nearly 100 students heard the
leading candidates for the top
positions in Student Government
restate their platforms last night.
During adebate, sponsored by
the governing body of the men in
the complex, the candidates proceeded to expound their positions
with only limited conflict with
their opponents.
"There is not a whole lot
of difference in the platforms,"
Sheryl Snyder, candidate for
president said, "but the differences are pretty important."
Steve Cook, another presidential candidate, said that he did
not agree with this point.
The candidates supported by
SDS, and the newest addition
to the field, Dave Holwerk, an
independent, were not participants in the debate, but were
present.
Holwerk's handouts refer to
his position as a "Kernel colum-

nist."

Holwerk has written an occasional humor piece for The
Kernel but is not a staff member. His column has been stopped
while he is a political candidate,
according to Kernel Editor
Walter M. Grant.
Snyder, running on a ticket
with Kendall Thrclkeld, inserted
three new planks in their platform.

Cook opposed the enactment
of old projects that Student Government has not carried out in
the past year.
He said that he would like to
see the formation of a summer
employment service, noting that
the old serv ice "didn't have time

to function."
He said that they should go
to work now to form a system

for next summer.
He also said that there should
be a housing placement and rating service on campus.
Miss Threlkeld said that one
of the reasons that "Student
Government isn't recognized as
a governing body is it isn't in-

fluential enough."
She proposed that Student

Government form an academic
review board because "too many
students receive grades they honestly don't deserve."
She also said that the Student
Publications Board "should take
a more active role in the managing of The Kernel and the forming of the staff."
Both parties have planks in
their platform which deal with
the parking problem, but Snyder
said that this is one area where
there is a difference between the
two proposals.
"You can see exactly what we
want to do," he said. "We re
not just talking out of our hats."
He said that he has sent a
letter to Attorney General Robert

First, he said that he would
act to reinstate the names of the
instructors in the schedule book.
The omission of these names
is new this semester.
He said he has recognized a
need for a shuttle bus on campus and would support action
to form such a system.
Snyder said that he was also
opposed to forcing sophomores
to stay in the dorms as is planned
next year.
"Any type of movement made

Knapp, Graler Named Editors
William F. Knapp Jr., a second year law student from Dry

Four Selected For Quiz Bowl Trip
Four students were chosen
Monday night to represent UK
on the General Klcctric College
Howl in May.
Fred Christensen, senior history major; Dave Mathews, senior
English major; Charles Nichols,
senior zoology major; and lk)b
Howell, freshman history major
will be the four students sent
to New York.
These four were chosen from
a team of eight students who
had shown superior ability in
the UK Quiz Bowl. There had
been three previous practice
rounds to see how the eight
members competed against each

first was a science round. These
questions were answered on an
individual basis.
After these scores were

tab-

ulated there were four more
rounds played, but this time a
team basis. For each of the four
rounds, the teams were rearranged so that the teams were

composed of different members
each round.
The final choice of the team
was left up to the Forum Committee and Dr. Robert K. Thorp,
associate professor of journalism.
"The decision was a hard one
to make," said Laura Muntz,
chairman of the Forum Com-

mittee. "However, we had to

"All the students who participated had a phcnominal amount
of knowledge covering a variety
of fields, that is why the decision was a difficult one to
make' Miss Muntz added.
Since the team is made up of
three seniors and one freshman,
the problem had arisen with what
to do if the team should win its
first three games in New York.
The College Bowl does not run
over the summer and its rules
do not permit graduating seniors
to return to finish the final round.
Miss Muntz said in case this
should happen, the three other
undergraduates who comprised
the team of eight would go as
the alternates.

Their platform states that Student Government "should take

At present this practice is
not carried out. Snyder has not
taken a stand on this matter,
however.

"Our platform was not formed

Miss Threlkeld, expressing
much the same feeling, said the

Caped Crusader' Enters SG Campaign

The list of candidates for Student Government president revv to four this week
as David II. Holwerk, A & S sophomore,
announced.
Running without a vice president, Holwerk said he will endorse all of those students now running for the secondary slot.
"I feel it is time the Populist Agrarian
element on this campus receives some responsible leadership," he charged.
Claiming full sincerity in his campaign
(which many consider a joke), Holwerk

The English major from Lexington explained
plans as directed at
comparing UK toilets to the
"perfect toilet" designed by an architect at Cornell University last year on a federal grant.
"Loudly" and "in costume" the new
candidate promised to campaign. In filing
his application for office he signed his name
"David (Brand X.) Holwerk."

The new candidate candidly said were he

Murrell, Wheeler Platform Favors
Beer, Lottery Instead Of Vote
A
campaign platform including selection of Student Government representatives by a random lottery was announced Monday by one of the four slates
vying for the SG top administration.

The

candidates,

William

Murrell and Martin Wheeler, both
endorsed and at least partially
sponsored by Students for a
Democratic Society, said the
lottery method is "the most accurate way possible of choosing
a Student Government which is

truly representative."
The representation plan, one
of seven points of the SDS drafted
platform, is based on the premise
that "the average guy on campus
can do just as good a job of
representing the students as the

Candidates

and
Wheeler promised an investigation of the legality of serving
beer in the Student Center and
fraternity house. The candidates
said they will reopen and investigate the argument that state
law forbids beer on University
property.
Pledging support for the Off
Campus Student Association,
Murrell and Wheeler said they
would urge OCSA to implement
a program to force a reduction
in rental rates. The candidates
said they would investigate the
rationale for on campus rent rates,
and resist "any administration
attempt to force any class of
students to live in dormatories."
Concerning the Student Center, the candidates said they
would reopen the coffee house,
and endorsed longer opening
hours, dancing in the grille, and
a wider selection of food.

Other topics of the platform

will run it in competition with

platform says.
The candidates
endorsed
elimination of the dichotomy between men and women, and promised uniform regulations for
men and women, and use of
alcoholic beverages in dorms. The
platform says the merger of AWS
and SG is consistent with the
merger of the Deans of Men and
Women and attempts to eliminate
the dichotomy between men and
women.

The candidates criticized SG's
allocation of funds to student
groups, saying, "We do not feel
that the average student enjoys
