TOPEKA-Kansas' first presidential primary was no contest.
President Carter and Ronald Reagan, after being upset last week in a pair of eastern primaries, regained their momentum yesterday, sweeping to victories in the state.
In Lawrence, Carter won easily, but Rep. John B. Anderson's heavy student support gave him an 83-victory victory over Reagan. Both Carter and Reagan took Douglass County.
About 41 percent of the state's 1.14 million registered voters went to the polls, despite heavy snow in western Kansas. State officials had predicted that only 31.2 percent of voters 'kansas' would turn out.
Reagan captured 63 percent of the Republican vote to take 20 of the state's 32 delegates with all but one of the 2,717 precincts reporting. Anderson, with 18 percent, was CIA director George Bush, with 33 percent, won four.
Two percent of the voters in the Republican primary those "none of the above," resulting in three percent.
ON THE Democratic side, Carter won 57 percent of the vote and 23 of the state's 37 delegates. Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kenney received 32 percent and the other 14 delegates.
Kansas delegates for both parties are bound on only the first ballot at the national conventions.
California Gov. Gerry Brown had 5 percent of the vote, short of the 13 percent要求 to qualify for election.
In the country's other primary yesterday, Carter and Reagan won in Wisconsin. With 88 percent of the vote, they defeated Rush with 90 percent. Reagan had pulled past Bush and Anderson with 40 percent of the vote. Bush had 31 percent and Johnson had 69 percent.
Brown dropped out of the presidential race after receiving only 12 percent of the vote.
At the state Democratic Committee gathering in the downtown holiday Inn here, Carter's supporters said the Kansas vote showed Kennedy's victories last year. And the Connecticut would not slow the president's campaign.
Carter's Kansas campanier manager Dave Doak said, "This obviously indicates that New York and Wisconsin have a rival."
"It probably stopped any momentum Sen. Kennedy had built up."
Reagan's victory was never in doubt.
Only a half dozen supporters had even turned out at Reagan's state headquarters by the time the three

director, said. "The question was how much over 50 nereed we lent." This makes us feel excellent."
Reagan's Kansas coordinator Larry Ellison announced the former California governor had won the state election.
"I told you w'd do good there," he said. "The people who work with the people face all the people-including the street."
Anderson and Bush supporters, however, were also ubliant about their candidates' showings.
"Reagan has an organization that has been working for six years in the state," said Mary Lou Humphrey. Anderson's Kansas campaign coordinated and were able to liaise (about) 20 percent from them.
ANDERSON WAS no doubt the favorite of the KU
crowd. The Illinois Congressman's campaign office was in Lawrence and his recent Hobt Auditorium speech drew the largest crowd, 4,000, of any Kansas appearance by a candidate.
About 30 supporters filled their three-room headquarters on Massachusetts Street last night to await results. One worker said that about 75 percent of Anderson's 200 Lawrence volunteers were KU students.
"Mr. Anderson's concern for the future is shared by students and the people of the area." Humphrey

"Lord, yes, we're happy," Joe Bailer, Bush's state coordinator, said. "In a state where Reagan's support is entrenched, we'd be foolish to believe that a win was in the cards.
"And John Anderson spent $70,000 dollars here in the last two weeks. In proportion to the amount of money he spends," Mr. Eckman said.
KENNEDY'S SUPPORTERS were not surprised
the candidate's showing against the heavily
favored Candidates.
Sue Estes, Kennedy's Kansas campaign coordinator, said, "We expected 30 to 40 percent, and I expected more."
She said the Kennedy campaign, which spent less than $1,500 in Kansas, would not be daunted by losses but would win.
"We never expected to carry every state," she said.
Estes said the 60,625 Kansans who voted for Kennedy did so because of concern for the nation's future.
"They're looking for a new approach," she said, so people at the lower rungs of the economic ladder are getting involved.
Lee Kelly, Kennedy's co-chairman in the 2nd
season, gave the honors to Kennedy receiving 10 delegates in Kansas. He got 14.
He was voted in as the winner.
SHE AGREED with Estes that the economy was the cause of much of Kennedy's support. She added that people were tired of the Carter administration seeming "surrised a lot."
Carter, Reagan win Wisconsin; Brown gives up

From the Kansan's wire services
MILWAUKEE—President Carter defeated Sen. Edward Kennedy in Wisconsin's presidential primary election last night,挑战 his challenging his week-old comeback and driving Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. out of the race.
Ronald Reagan, who overwhelmed both teams in his career, had a little more competition in Wisconsin. Reagan packed in another 45 delegates, and had well over one-third of the vote.
California Gov. Edmund Brown Jr., struggling for survival in Wisconsin, was a far-away third there and he said he was drovene his cannauon for the nomination.
"It is obvious that the voters have spoken and have given their verdict on my 1980 campaign and that means that this will be taken into account in a participate in 1980." Brown said last night.
The vote and percentage for the leaders in the Wisconsin Democratic primary with 88 percent of the districts reporting was:
Carter 314,472, or 56 percent.
Kennedy 171,025, or 30 percent
In the Republican race it was:
Based on those results, Carter gained 48 delegates, Kennedy got 26, and Brown received none.
Reneeley 171, 023, or 30 percent
Brown 20, 003, or 13 percent
Bush 239,779, or 31 percent.
Anderson 220,976, or 28 percent.
Reagan 311, 585, or 40 percent.
Russ 779, 770, or 31 percent.
Reagan received 25 delegates, Bush three and Anderson six.
The number of delegates Reagan won was disproportionate to his popular vote because the state's Republican delegates are based on a modified winner-take-all system.
Reagan won seven at-large delegates for receiving the highest statewide vote. The state's 27 district delegates are awarded to Reagan, while 14 in each district Reagan won 14 districts.
President Carter hailed his victories from the White House and his spokesman said Kennedy needed 64 percent of the delegates to win primaries prior to the nomination.
Kennedy, unable to build on last week's upbeat upset in New York and Connecticut, won't make a second run. But Carter soared over the halfway point for the 1,668 delegates he needs to win
Kennedy's campaign manager, Stephen Bynum, blamed the Wisconsin defeat on a "bad" policy, saying he favored GOP primary. However, he predicted a victory in Pennsylvania, where voters must
Bush's campaign manager, Jim Baker, also hoped for a one-on-one confrontation in Pennsylvania. He said Bush did a bit better than his predecessor, finishing ahead of Anderson in Wisconsin.
Anderson, who finished a distant second in Kansas and was running a close third behind Bush in Wisconsin, said he would have to be wrong if rule out running as an independent, but he will have to make his decision soon since ballot-filed deadlines are nearing in many states. There has not been a serious third-party candidate since George Wallace in 1982.
Reagan said he was delighted with his twin victories, but he said it was too soon to declare he had the Republican nomination locked up.
In Wisconsin, thousands of Democrats angered at Carter did not give their votes to the Republicans. Republicans and Republican Anderson had thought he would be the beneficiary of this. But apparently just as many conservative Democrats, too, over the economy, voted for Reagan.

The athletic department announced early in February that basketball tickets, public and student, would increase by 50 cents a game. That would raise student season tickets from $11 to $17.50. The department also announced that student season football tickets would decrease from $23 to $18 because five, not six, home games were scheduled next fall.
Athletic Director Bob Marcum will meet with athletic directors and coaches from University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Board to discuss opposition to planned increase in student season football and basketball.
And, they say, even though football season tickets will be cheaper next year because of one less home game, their price should be higher than the price of a 13-year ticket surcharge has expired.
KUAC student board members and others oppose the increase in basketball ticket prices because they say it is unfair for college players to pay more fortunately more in price than other tickets.
Last Thursday, the seating board rescinded that support. A unanimous vote recommended a smaller increase in student basketball prices and a further reduction in student football prices, according to Ameer Mumba, president of the club and student member of the KUAC board.
AT THE TIME, the Athletic Seating Board—a Student Senate committee—supported the increase, although no vote was taken.
Levinson said the seating board had been given incomplete information by then-athletic business manager Joe Biedron, assigned his seat to return to California.

Biedron was not correct information," Levinson said. "Our decision was based on that information. This decision is based on all the information."

Cobb to assume Shankel's post

Robert P. Cobb, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will replace D.Shankel this summer as executive vice president of Archie R. Dykes announced yesterday.
"Cobb will make an outstanding executive chairwoman," Dykes said. "He has an experience that makes him highly regarded achievement at KU and is highly regarded as a teacher and for his service to the company."
DYKES SAID his decision to appoint Bob was based on recommendations from the executive vice chancellor selection committee from the University vice chancellors.
Two other KU faculty members also were recommended by the selection committee, which convened in early January.
The executive vice chancellor is the chief administrative officer of the Lawrence campus and presides over the day-to-day affairs of the University.
The committee said they were impressed with the breadth of Cobb's experiences at KU and by his commitment to excellence in teaching.
Cobb, who has been associated with KU for 23 years, said he viewed the position of vice chancellor as a grafting step.
The committee recommended William E. Hogan II, associate executive vice chancellor, and John O. Tolleson, associate dean of the School of Business.
"I have invested most of my adult life and 40 percent of my total life in the University," he said.
Cobb also said he had mixed emotions about his new appointment.
LIKE SHANELK, who is resigning July after six years as vice chancellor with plans to return to teaching microbiology at KU to study what that he will return to teaching schoolday.
"I view the new position with both anticipation and regret," he said. "The new opportunities are intriguing, but at the same time they make me give up the satisfactions of my present job."
"It is inevitable that I will return to being a full-time English professor some time before I retire." Cobb said.
"As dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, I
Robert Cobb
have always liked to consider myself a member of the faculty who happens to have administrative duties.
"As dean, I have continued to teach, but unfortunately I don't think that will be possible as vice chancellor."
Cobb graduated from Salina High School in 1950 and received a BA from English from Baylor University in 1949, his master's degree from the University of Michigan in 1950 and his doctorate from Ohio.
COBSAID be thought the pressures of being vice chancellor would not be much greater than the pressures of his present

position. As dew, Cobb said he oversaw
about one-half the faculty members
and more half of the KU students.
"Pressures are present in all administrative positions. However, as vice chancellor, I will face a larger number and variety of concerns," he said.
Although he said he would not specify any goals for his new position until he had met with Dykes and Shankel, Cobb has main reasons to be wainful to the University's excellence.
Cobb said his replacement as dean had not yet been selected.
Forer criticizes Fac Ex, alleges slanted fact-finding
Attempts by the faculty executive committee to determine the facts surrounding the suspension of Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare, were criticized yesterday by Forer. Forer said the commission did not ask for his views on the matter.
Forer and Clarence Dillingham, in instructor in social welfare were supplied by the United Nations Archine R. Dykes during their trip to Iran in an unofficial attempt to help resolve the conflict.
Forer said he had told Zather earlier this semester that if FacEx decided to investigate the facts surrounding his case, he must present to the details as he then went.
In a four-page letter to Gerhard Zuther, FacEx chairman, Forer said FacEx had solicited information on his case only from the University administration.
Zuther would not comment on Forer's letter.
AT ITS MARCH 7 meeting, FacEx
requested that Dykes make a detailed report of the events and his decisions surrounding his suspensions of Forer and Dillingham.
Dykes met in closed session with FECA Friday to discuss the matter. Zahler said then he would report on the meeting to the University Council on Thursday.
Forer sent another letter to the University Council. In this letter, Forer proposed that any confusion surrounding the circumstances of the suspensions could be up in an open meeting with the University administration, Dillingham, and him.
FORER SAID he sent the letters because he felt he needed to take a stand.
"I feel I've been pushed into a corner too often," he said, "I think my colleagues are concerned, the best way to get at the truth would be an oen confrontation."
Forer was given leave without pay for the spring semester and made a second trip to Iran in February with 48 other Americans.
