Schneider says candidacy wasn't formally announced
TOPEKA (AP)—Attorney General Curt Schneider yesterday discounted reports that he formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor Sunday and promised a definitive statement on the subject within a few weeks.
The confusion came after the annual festivities of the Kansas Democrats' traditional Washington Day observance during the past few days.
Schneider reportedly told more than 300 persons attending a brunch organized by the

However, Schneider said yesterday he would neither confirm nor deny that his statement was official word of his candidacy.

"It was a very official-looking memo," itumbughe said to the professor of the community colleges.
ACKER SAID the relationship between K-State and community colleges was good,
and indicated that the letter might have been an attempt to hurt the relationship.
He said K-State would investigate the letter-writing and possibly take legal ac-
