University Daily Kansan / Monday, October 17, 1988 9 The path to the State Senate DuPree promises new ideas By Barbara Joseph Kansan staff writer A KU student is running for political office this year. But he says he is not a typical student. "I'm 16 years old; I have a back-ground in sales; I've been married 18 years; and I have a 16-year-old daughter; I shake Mike DuFern, Democratic senator against Wint. Winter Jr. "I'm not your typical KU student." DuPree, who is working on a master's degree in education, said he wanted to emphasize that being a teacher is not merely defined him as a candidate. Instead, he would point to his 10 years of business experience and his political involvement. He formed the Citizen Action for Responsible Environment group and has been involved with many of the proposed Lawrence Trafford His platform is "Rethinking Progress: Combining Community and Commerce to Make Common Sense." "I'd like to see all public policy built on protecting the earth first," DuPree said. "We can have all the economic development we like, but if we don't have the earth, there is no point." Part of Dpure's program includes harvesting the wind for energy, recycling, developing organic fertilizers and cleaning up public transportation. "The buses on this campus are a slap in the face of higher education," he said. "We're supposed to be so expensive that these buses that喷出臭尿." DuPree suggested a horse and trolley system instead. "Someone's got to talk about these things," he said. "Perhaps I am a step in that direction." Lawrence City Commissioner Mike Rundle said he agreed. He and DuPree have talked frequently about the problem during Rundle's term in office. "Mike DuPrue is a voice in the wilderness," Hundle said. "He has the ability to hear those types of people we naive. Mike is no different than I was in that! had no previous experience in the wilderness! Everybody has to start somewhere." Winter to promote education By Barbara Joseph Kansan staff writer A KU history professor calls the state senator a real friend of the University. The senator calls himself for education and people issues. If elected to a second term. Sen. elected to the Senate. Sen. determined to finance the next two years of the Margin of Excellence and push for equal education opportunities. "I feel strongly about continuing to focus on education and not diluting the state's general fund money for law enforcement from his law office in Lawrence. He said one of the key fights in the next legislative session would be whether to use general fund and sales taxes on new school improvements. He said he believed those funds should be reserved for education, property tax relief, reclassification of state employee养老金 for elderly and disabled people. At present, 65 percent of the state's general fund is budgeted for education. The state will require Excellence will require $11.4 million next year, part of which will come from a new funding source. As a lawyer, a senator with a law degree and a background in winter, he said he would work hard to persuade legislators and lobbyists of the need to finance that program and to keep it free. "I don't like to go to Topeka and lose," Winter said. "I a fighter." Winter, 35, is married and three children. James E. Seaver, professor of history, said he would support Winters re-election bid because he was the winter a friend of the University. "I was chair of SenEx three times, and the third time Winter was immedately helpful to us," Saer said. "He arranged for meetings with legislators. Once a month we had breakfast with him before classes. He was always there to provide political situation and the financial picture for the University. "No other legislator I've known has been as vigorous in helping the University." NRA takes aim at Dukakis' record The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association radio commercials slamming Michael Dukakis' record on crime and guns as "up-North nonsense" that shouldn't spread in their native Massa- Dukakis, the Democratic presidential nominee, says the advertisements are an "outright distortion" of his positions. His campaign has mounted a strong counterattack with its own radio and TV ads. Daniel A. Taylor, general counsel for the Dukes' campaign, told the MIA by letter that it was "inconvenient" to ignore an ignoring answer questionnaire the governor had filled out, according to campaign pospokwenman But Wayne La Pierre, director of the NRA's lobbying arm, said the ads were factual. He accused the Dakikas campaign of "a heavy attempt to keep us from relaying the truth." The NRA started running the radio spots a week ago in Texas, California, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Montana, among other states. "We're covering those states from one end to the other — probably thousands of stations," said La Pierre. He declined to say how much the NRA had funded ads or an companion-d mail campaign. La Pierre said "there is tremendous support for gun ownership and hunting" in the target states. "Dukis' strident position as governor . . . could very well cost him those state's. He's making a last-ditch, desperate attempt to say he's really pro-sportsmen and pro-firearms ownership, he Dukaiks tried to defuse the NRAs acts last weekend before they began, calling them "another weapon of mass destruction." His campaign is counterattacking with its own radio ads and, in Texas, with two television ads on the crime and gun control records of Republican nominee George Bush. The NRA, operating independently of the Bush administration, is burning three 60-second radio spots. One quotes the NRA saying, "everything I can to disarm this state." The NRA narrator says, "Don't let us up-North nonsense us."
