students interviewed Thursday
Ruth Burhir, Vienna, Va., said, "I thought the elections were a circus, a macabre circus. It was about playing games with each other, playing games with each other."
"They played on people's ignorance about what is happening in the country."
Miss Burrisi said the candidates elected to office indicated a general fear and misunfavor of the "youth culture."
"Funny" was the word Doug Spoehr, Chicago sophomore, used to describe the campaigns.
Spoehr gave one incident in the Kansas gubernatorial campaign

of defeated Republican Ken Frizzell as an example of the humor he found in the pre-election activities of candidates.
"He (Frizzell) said 'School are to learn, not to burn; to grow threw. He said 'Spohr said 'Then he his cool with T1 who do the best I can.'
Derogatory comments and mud-slinging characterized the campaign for Linda Johnson, Wichita sophomore. She saw a match with parties to emphasize the candidates records and opinions.
President Sluggish on Women's Lib
Few of the students interviewed told the campaigning done by President Nixon and Vice President Spiro who was much help to the Republican candidates across the nation.
Spoehr commented "Agnew is forever running off at the mouth."
The political advertisements were preloaded on computer playing down the opponent, instead of highlighting the candidate, according to Tom Hempel.
One student, who refused to give his name, thought the campers were glued over. He asked the campers, and said the issues he was most concerned with were not emphasized in the cam-

It is unreasonable to expect unity among women as women Emily Taylor, dean of women Faculty Forum during the agreed meeting.
Miss Taylor spoke on several areas of the women's movement. She also attended Kansas City senior and president of the KU Commission on the Environment in Kansas City, Mo., junior and a member of the Commission's staff.
MISS TAYLOR began with some information on the women's movement in Kansas. She pointed out that KKU was a university to make a Commission on the Status of Women, but it did not set a minimum wage law and that the proposed equal pay for equal women was desicated by the addition of an amendment in the closing of the last legislative session.
The trend of the election seemed to be in the direction of more justice and rights," according to Johnson, a former governor of the Kansas state general election Vern Miller, Wichita, seemed to be interested in law and order "at
The amendment would require equal pay for equal work except when an employee is being bona fide qualification for the job. This would be decided by the board of directors. The amendment would be "essentially completely fair" to this amendment, Miss Taylor expresses.
The election of Shultz and Miller, both outspoken critics of student disorder, evoked reaction from disgust to amazement.
"When I heard those two (Shultz and Miller) had been elected," one woman said, "I felt that it was a sickening type of disgust.
"I couldn't believe they were elected, but I guess I should have expected it."
Spohr said he experienced fear and anxiety about the situation. He shultz. He said Shultz's electronic an "on guard situation."
"I think there will be trouble," Spohr said, "but not of a violent nature."
He added that students seemed to be looking for something deeper, and had become tired of violence.
The unidentified conservative said the election of the two men did not scare him. However, he said they should hurt the University in some way.
The elections of Shultz and Miller were expected by Charles Matake, Shawne senior. He did not express concern over Shultz's however, because "Shultz will not have that much power."
Roemer seemed to express the common opinion of students interviewed. He said that in the Kansas election the voters were "very poor choice" between gubernatorial candidates.
"Not one of the candidates offered a peace platform, or a platform for students." Roemer were mostly against "students."
One coed summed up her opinion of Election 1970:
"They were all conservatives there was no difference between ny of them."
NEW YORK (UPI)—A record number of Americans visited the in the four months of 2016 European Airways. The total was 214,000, an increase of 26 per cent the corresponding period of 1969.
AN INCREASE in the number of unattached women along with men in the United States remarriage rate has brought an increase in interest in the profession, and a greater exposure of legal and economic discrimination against
The renewed interest in women's rights is obvious, she said. No popular or professional seeings were reealed seeing) has ignored the Women's liberation is "the ongong phrase in this movement." Miss Taylor added, although it "has seen things of all kinds of women."
One of the main targets of the movement, Dean Taylor said, is to raise awareness that the most children are exposed. This is a critical step toward an airlift level for women by the time they enter college and in men and women thinking of their future.
During her portion of the program, Miss Elke dealt primarily with "A Matter of Simple Justice" a report on cases that had responsibilities prepared by a presidential task force.
She pointed out that the task she was one of 14 appointed by President Johnson in 1969, to prepare reports for him to use as the State of the Union in March. She also reported he reports, except the one on his return to the President's message. 'A Matter of Simple Justice' was not published until June.
SOME OF THE REcommendations, as outlined by Miss Eike, of the task force were the office and conference on office and a conference on women's rights and responsibilities; an assurance to women that they can be appointed to top positions in the present, only 15 of the approximately 12,000 presidential appointments have gone to women, including day-care centers; and support of the equal rights amendment by having the President urge its passage in the 91st Congress.
Briefly discussing the amendment to the civil rights act, which we discussed last week on the basis of sex, Moss Eikers said that the 14th amendment doesn't cover "woman's rights but women's choice" and uphold discriminatory state laws.
Quoting the Presidential task force report, Miss Eike said, "Women do not seek special rights, they seek equal rights."

Miss Boccel closed by saying the Commission hoped to educate women to "all the opportunities that the obstacles they will face."
During a question-and-answer period, Miss Taylor said the women's rights movement wants
to educate women "for humanity, for their role as people." Women are still in the stage where they are being called out to that they are human, the same.
The "sudden resurgence (of the women's' movement) made people fear a movement," she said. It never before been a unified effort, even when it was built.
"IT IS UNREASONABLE to expect any kind of unity among careerists (the women's liberation careers) the women's name for middle class."
