Gubernatorial hopefuls vie for Bennett's post
Bv PAM MANSON
Staff Writer
A dimer intended as a forum for the four Democratic gubernatorial candidates last night turned into a partisan attack against Gov. Robert F. Bennett.
The four candidates—John Carlin, speaker of the Kansas House; Bert Chaney, state senator; Curt Schneider, attorney for the State Department; and Teresa torney—were invited to speak at the fundraising dinner by the Douglas County Republican Association but has not officially announced his candidacy.
Chaney set the tone for the forum when he Bennett had been ignoring the needs of our audience.
"UNTIL THIS year the governor has made no effort to implement needed legislation," Chaney said. "Now that it's an election year, he's suddenly decided he supports programs concerning improved health care and improved education,
programs that the Democrats in the Legislature have been suggesting for three
Chanley said he was optimistic that the proposed KU budget, which has $6 million allocated for Watson Library improvements, would be approved by the Legislature. But he said that although he supported a budget increase, he had voted against it and said he would give the Board of Regents the power to set tuition and offer stipends to medical students who agreed to practice in Kansas after graduation.
"THE BOARD should offer scholarship money to equalize opportunity among med students," Chaney said. "A student must be the choice work somewhere just to get through school."
Carlin also objected to the tuition bill.
"You can't buy a solution to the problem of a doctor shortage in Kansas," he said.
Carlin said Democratic leadership in the executive branch of the state would help address the issue.
programs around the state to improve the situation."
"BENNETT'S administration has been causing problems in getting effective legislation passed," Carlin said. "If we had a governor that could work well with the democratic leaders in the House and Senate, I would get some of the program carried out."
Wiles also said he was dissatisfied with Bennett's performance as governor.
"Bennett is not placing enough emphasis on the issues that are important," he said. "The farmer and his problems should be a big concern and he has not taken any action to help. He's also been ignoring the problems of education."
WILES SAID he supported the proposed KU budget and the tuition bill.
"I'm for anything that will give doctors an incentive to stay and practice in Kansas," he said. "If they're educated in Kansas, they should work here for a while."
Schneider said the tuition bill raised legal problems.
Schneider said it was important that a Democrat be elected governor this year.
"Bennett is not responsive to the needs of the people as the Democrats are," he said. We must elect someone who will administer the laws and carry out his duties well.
"I don't think the Legislature or the Board of Regents are the appropriate ones to make the decision of where a doctor will practice," he said. "The purpose of the university is to educate, not make personal choices for individuals."
The gubernatorial election will be held in November. The announced Republican candidates are Bennett and Jim Vestring, a Wichita banker and rancher.
SUA...
From page one
SUA ALSO SPONSORED a lecture series in 1963 called Philosophical Bases of Absolutely Everything, which featured lectured presentations to the Plavbow ideology of Hugh Hefner.
SUA offered a wide range of concerts in the '60s. The Smothers Brothers, the Four Freshmen, The New Christy Minstrels, the folk-singing trio of Peter, Paul and Mary, and Pet罗 Nero, jazz pianist, were some of the performers in concert. SUA sponsored an Oread Jazz Festival in 1964 that featured a concert between jazz groups from other universities.
Free University also was started in the late 1960s.
SUA sponsored some traditional orientation week activities during the 1960s. One, the Jayhawk nibble, was a picnic for new KU students.
An SUA CARNIVAL, a tradition that the university began in 1820 and that SUA had been one of its highlights.
biggest programs through the '60s.
programs were discontinued in the late 90s,
programs were discontinued in the late 90s,
SUA programming expanded even further in the early 70s. SUA's budget for 1975 was $16,700. That year, SUA split its recreation program into two areas: outdoor recreation. Indoor recreation offered bridge, billiards, chess, the Quarterback club and other activities. Outdoor recreation included the KU Sailing Club and the Lakeside Club, a camping equipment rental service.
Concerts by Sonny and Cher, Rare Earth, James Taylor, The Beach Boys, Chicago, Benny Goodman and Todd Rundgren and SUA between 1970 and 1975.
SUA has had its share of good and bad experiences in arranging concerts in the past few years, just as it has had in the area of fine arts. A Festival of the Arts, which since the late 60s offered one week of cultural events, sporadically experienced
financial problems and has not been held since 1976. However, fine arts has continued a picture-lending library and has experimented with large dramatic and musical productions, including "Homerica" last year and a Gershwin musical review, which will be presented beginning next week.
"I know there are people who don't know what SUA is," Herren said. "You advertise, put out pamphlets, offer shows, offer tons of information, but somehow someone always misses it."
DESPITE THE VARIETY of films, forums, recreational activities and other events sponsored by SUA, girls said she has been told that KU students were not aware of SUA and its activities.
Herren said that SUA had enough activities that students could find something to do.
"If there's one person who doesn't have anything to do, and SUA has something every night, there is no reason why that should have to sit at home alone," she said.
