5 US House Incumbents Will Probably Run Again
By JUDY HENRY
Kansas' five seats in the House of Representatives will be dispatched in November during the national elections.
The five incumbents are Keith G. Sebelius, R-First District; Dr. Susan E. McKinney, R-First District; Larry Winn Jr., R-Third District; Garner E. Shriver, R-Fourth District; and Joe Skubitz, R-Fifth District. None of the five incumbents were re-election, although each Washington office has said it is expected that the incumbents will announce their intentions to run for office.
Rep. Skubitz's Washington credited such an announcement to Skubitz, but the representative had not formally announced his
Bob Miner of the Republican Headquarters in Topeka said the deadline is June 20 at noon. Although he said it was not the same thing as an official announcement of can-do action, Mr. Miner waited to make an official statement before the congressional district conference in March 1976.
MINER SAID that the "Republicans said and encouraged him to run," and that there would be no official Republican candidate for the Second District until after the presidential election, a representative from the 2nd District, William R. Roy, is the only Democrat among the five
The representative from the First District, Keith Sebelius, representing Representatives in 1968 and took office in 1969 for the 91st Congress. He was a state senator becoming a national representative.
Sebelius is on the Agriculture Committee and the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. He is also on six subcommittees, livestock and grains; departmental operations; environment; national parks and recreation; and territorial and insular affairs.
Rep. Sebelius summed up his main interests in a letter, saying, "There is one goal I would like to be able to accomplish would be to see the day when the farmer and small businessman earn the fair price at the marketplace."
He said his principal concerns were "farm income; economy in the government; the plight of our citizens; the need for an opportunity for minority citizens with specific emphasis upon our Indian citizens; and, finally, restoring faith in our government our nation's young people."
Seibelius hired W.D. Moreland, dean emeritus HF Fort Hays State College, as a special staff assistant to research the health effects of pesticides and programs in rural areas. Two of Seibelius's main concerns are reorganizing and coordinating federal programs for the elderly and passing programs which would bring results to rural areas.
DR. WILLIAM R. Roy of the
Democratic representative.
Before taking office in 1971 for
the 2nd Congress, Roy was a
member of the House.
Because of Roy's background as a doctor, his prime concern
DURING THE last legislative session Winn voted for a bill concerning federal aid to institutions of higher education."
"I am a strong advocate and supporter of federal aid to our institutions of higher education. In most cases, the colleges and universities would be free to spend the money as they see fit," he said.
Winn said in a letter, "Equal rights is another subject in which I feel strongly. I co-sponsored the anti-abortion campaign." He voted in favor of its passage.
has been health care and public health and the environment. He was appointed to the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, and is a member of the American Council on Public health and environment.
Election...
Kyle Craig, Joplin, Mo., sophomore, was the candidate for student body president from the University Party.
The amendment, which has not been passed yet, states that the United States shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State.
One of Winn's main concerns has been ecology legislation. He authored a bill to establish the National Ecological Reserve in Kansas. He also sponsored a call foring a global environmental research program of the United States.
Shriver, dean of the Kansas delegation to the House, is on the Appropriations Committee. He is the ranking minority member of the committee and a member of appropriations subcommittee, which is responsible for the funding of U.S. foreign assistance programs. He is also a member of the labor, health education and other appropriations committee.
The result was chaos with political leaders changing from party to party overnight, often party to party platform with them.
The representative is also one of the authors of H.R. B. 680, which calls for an all-veteran army and a pay scale for a pay scale for such an army.
Continued from Page 1 consistently as possible. The existence of pressure groups or activist organizations working with controversial issues should not be considered as necessarily bad, however. They have often performed useful work undoubtedly continue to do so*.
The representative from the Third District is Larry Winn Jr., who took office in 1967 for the 90th Congress.
In March of 1967 there were three political parties on campus, Vox Poplau, University Party and the KU Progressive Alliance (L). The KUPA soon soiled in support of the University Party.
Garner E. Shriver of the
House of Representatives in 1961,
He was a state representative
from 1961 to 1963, and a state
signator from 1953 to 1962.
His main efforts in the past year have centered on assisting the communities in his district that have been affected with the flooding. He is also including Wichita. He has been active in implementing programs
Roy was a co-sponsor of the National Cancer Attack Program, and his subcommittee has also presented two measures for the Health Manpower Training Act and the Nurse Training Act. These provide training for 50,000 additional doctors and 100,000 additional nurses by 1980, and a decisive to practice in rural areas.
Winn is a member of the Science Astronautics Company and the Air Affairs Committee. He is on the manned space flight subcommittee and the science, research and technology team. Winn is also assigned to the Select Committee on Crime and the task force on labor law.
"The Political Clowns," the Kansan's March 28th editorial, commented on the antics of one such political organization that they called a mockery. They were an insult to this campus. Any faith that KU students have had in campus politics has surely been shattered, or at least taken a long way backward, because of the election."
ROY VOTED for the Manila amendment calling for withdrawal from state if POWS were released, and he voted not to extend the draft for two more funding against funding the SST program.
Ken North, Shawne Mission sophomore, was the candidate for student body president from the Vox Poplity.
THIS FEELING was not shared by Vox or UX members. They were thrown in the path of the new party. And some leaders, in a hurry or a panic, did not take the national provisions stand in their hands.
In an interview written up in the March 28, 1967 Kansas, Craig said his party was interested in "trying to eliminate committees that are dead until we review if any functioning or overlapping."
He said communication must be established between the committees and the Council.
IN THE SAME paper an interview with North was published, said he thought the campaign said the university security were main issues.
The lead head in the Kansan of April 21, 1967, announced that Craig won by a landslide. The leader, 278 for Craig and 800 for North.
The lead editorial by Barbara Phillips that day said, "Power was the issue and everybody had something to say about it. Vox's platform was based on the concept of student power and empowerment. I depended the idea of power and what it might do."
Other things he mentioned were the unfair University system of firing for parking violations, elimination of the ASC representation system and a better lighting system on campus.
Another problem he mentioned was loss of teachers through lack of salary and overload.
North said the student government needed to recapture the support it lacked.
Phillips also said the voter turnout was discouraging.
of economic adjustment in Wichita, which has had a high unemployment rate. He fought against it and eventually Act to provide public service jobs, and Wichita was one of the first states to receive funding under the Act.
If any pattern may be seen in the pattern of student apathy before the campaign and student new party begins its programs.
LES ROSEN. Shriver's administrative assistant, said that his team is assured adequate funding for the Vietnamization program, so that U.S. troops could withdrawn according to the schedule.
Roen said, "I would say that his main concern has been the economy, and he's been very careful about machinery that would lead to an all-vulnerable army. In 1967, he wrote in a book, 'How to End the Draft,'
Joe Skubitz, representative of the Fifth District, was elected to the 80th Congress in 1963. He was a Republican and a legislative assistant to two Kansas senators during the 20世纪60s, his election as representative
He belongs to the Interstate Foreign Commerce Committee and the Interior and Insular Departments. He also assigned to the national park subcommittee and the transportation and aeronautics committees.
He is a member of the mines and mining subcommittee, which is now working on strip mining. The new legislation would force coal
companies to clean up the land they have stripped in the past, including leveling it and replanting grass.
Mike Marden, one of Skubitz's Washington staff, said that Kansas has a state law requiring that all stripped land be returned to its natural state, but it did not apply to land stripped before
MARDEN SAID Skubitz's tree was considering legislation dealing with nation-wide strikes as a result of the recently settled war.
On the Vietnam issue, Skubitz said that it was not the United States' role to be there.
In a prepared statement, he said, "We seem to be playing the role of an ambassador, that national determination was carried out in all nations with our help. I think we now realize such a stewardship just isn't our job."
Marden said that Skubitz always voted against raising the national debt ceiling, in direct opposition to the Administration. He said that Skubitz thought the budget should balance the budget.
Also Skubitz has been a leader in order to keep the federal government on track. Energy Commission from dumping radioactive waste in the ocean.
Marden referred to the fight to keep the atomic waste dump out of Kansas as "one of the toughest fits that I have ever seen."
