University Daily Kansan, July 20, 1984 Page 5 Mondale continued from p.1 the convention ratified his choice of Geraldine Ferraro for vice president, the first woman nominee of a major party to reach that position. "Tonight we open a new door to the future," Monday said. "Mr. Reagan calls that 'tokenism.' We call it America." Mondale served as vice president to Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. After the Carter-Mondale ticket was defeated in 1980, Mondale said, "We didn't tell the American people they were wrong. Instead we began asking you what our mistakes had been. "Tonight we come to you with a new realism: ready for the future and recapturing the best in our tradition." he said. Mondale, 56, met privately for an hour earlier in the day with Hart. In Mondale's address, he shared credit with his rivals for the nomination and other top Democrats, stressing a party theme that includes all of America. "Just look at us," he said. "Black and white, Asians and Hispanic, native and immigrant, young and old, urban and rural, male and female — from yuppy to lunchpail, from sea to shining sea. "When we speak of family, the voice is Mario Cuomo's. 'When we speak of change, the words are Gary Hart's. "When we speak of hope, the fire is Jesse Jackson's. "When we speak of caring, the spirit is Ted Kennedv's. "When we speak of patriotism, the strength is John Glenn's. "And now, we leave San Francisco together." he said. "When we speak of the future, the message is Geraldine Ferraro's. Mondale zeroed in on the near $200 billion budget deficit under the Reagan administration — an issue that is expected to be pressed by some economists — and asked for a Republican answer now. "I challenge Mr. Reagan to put his plan on the table next to mine — and debate it with me on national television," he said. "Americans want the truth about the future — not after the election, but now." Mondale said that he would press for removal of all foreign forces from Central America "and in my first 100 days, I will stop the illegal war on Nicaragua." Boldly predicting that "the second term of the Mondale-Ferraro administration will begin in 1989," Mondale recalled that many *o* those who voted for Reagan over Carter four years ago did so because Reagan promised they would be better off. He reiterated his campaign call for yearly summit meetings with the Soviet Union, recalling the words of President John F. Kennedy that "we must never negotiate out of fear, but we must never fear to negotiate." "And today, the rich are better off." Mondayde said. "But working Americans are worse off, and the middle class is standing on a trap door." Divided Kansas party delegates pledge unification for Mondale By United Press International SAN FRANCISCO — Kansas Democrats may have supported different candidates, but they have always remained unified and will be working together for Walter Mondale this fall, state party leader Pat Lehman said yesterday. "We were divided on who we were going to support on the first ballot," Lehman said, but she added that the delegates had remained united throughout on the need to defeat President Reagan in November. She said that the best example was earlier in the week, when the floor managers of the various campaigns had asked the delegates to sit in their preference groups within the state delegate to make it easier to keep tabs on them. "They wouldn't do it," Lehman said of the Kansas delegates. "They said no and they've all been sitting mixed, kind of grouped together. "I look over and I see Sarah Elder, a 21-year-old Hart fan from the University of Kansas, who got here by the luck of the diving siting next to Homer Kruckenberg, and she's wearing Homer's auctioneer's hat. "HOMER VOTED for Mondale in 1972, so he's probably the only person at the convention who ever voted for Walter Mondale (twice." By luck of the draw, Lehman meant Elder won her trip to the convention when the 2nd Congressional District caucus voted turned up a virtual tie between Mondale and Hart. The extra delegate slot was determined by drawing cards. Mondale and his female running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, captured the majority of Kansas Democrats, taking 25 of the 44 votes within the delegation Tuesday. Native son Gary Hart picked up 16 and three went to Jesse Jackson. Despite the impressive victory, Lehman and Gov. John Carlin said that the Mondale-Ferraro ticket will face an uphill battle in their state. "OBVIOUSLY THE president will be favored rather heavily in Kansas because of the value of the incumbency combined with the Republican tradition (in the state)." Carlin said. "It is certainly a longshot." Lehman said that the female vice president nominee was a universal choice among the Democratic delegation and predicted Ferraro would be well supported and accepted throughout the state. Tax continued from p. 1 Ron Johnson, president of the Downtown Lawrence Association, said the issue had not come up at recent DLA meetings. He also said that business owners he knew did not seem upset about the proposal. "The feeling that I get from talking to people is that when business is good, people don't worry or complain about taxes. And business has been good." he said. Johnson added that he was not concerned about the effect the tax might have on his business, Johnson Furniture, 722 Massachusetts St. "A half-cent isn't going to make or break Johnson Furniture," he said. IF THE TAX passes, the tax rate in Lawrence and other communities would be similar to rates in other communities, according to the county pamphlet For instance, Topeka has a one-cent sales tax, and Shawne County is considering an additional one-cent tax. Overland Park has a half-cent sales tax, and Johnson County has a one-cent tax, the pamphlet says. Leavenworth and Ottawa have half-cent taxes, and Franklin County adds a one-cent tax. An informational public meeting on the Douglas County tax will be Thursday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., from 7 to 9 p.m. - Reasonable Rent Completely remodeled Studios & 1 Bedrooms Only a few 2 Bedrooms left - 10 Month Leases - Ideal for Student Lifestyles - Call 843-2116 One Block North of Student Union Rental Office 1123 Indiana 843-2116 11th & Indiana JOIN THE BRUNCH BUNCH Start a Tradition Bring your friends, your family to the Veranda this Sunday.
