Senate Control Close, Demos Safe In House as Election Day Nears
By RAYMOND LAHR
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The 1970 election campaign is ending with the outcome of President Nixon's drive to win control of the Senate in doubt. The Democrat majority in the House appears safe at about its present level.
A 50-state record of the election outbox by UPI bureau indicates that to organize the Senate in January, the GOP needs a sweep of senatorial contests no rate as too close to call.
Elsewhere, Democrats are favored to win at least two governorships now held by Republicans and probably to register a net gain of three to five governors.
Voter apathy has been conspicuous during the campaign. If Nixon's barnstorming diapers did contribute to Democratic leaders believe that their candidates will benefit as well as Republicans.
Wells Scolds Cowardly Broadcasters

Broadcasters who are afraid of criticism and controversy should not be in broad casting, according to Robert Wells, a member of the Federal Communications Commission.

Wells spoke Friday morning in Woodford
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
He said he was upset that some television stations have said they were "boring down" actions. These stations, these actions. These stations, he said, claim they don't want to lose their licenses because of
Wells said the PCC had never considered whether or not a station has an aggressive news program as grounds for renewing or rejecting a broadcasting license. If a broadcaster is timid, Wells said, he has no business being in broadcasting.
Wells, a Kansan, was appointed to the FCC a year ago by President Nixon. He recently was granted a position on the FCC for seven years.
Before joining the FCC, Wells was general manager of station KIUL, in Garden City and manager of the Harris Radio Group, several years ago, worked with the Hutchinson publishing company.
He is the only professional broadcaster serving on the FCC. The chairman of the FCC is Dean Burch, former national chairman of the Republican Party.
Wells said he did not think that the public speeches given by Nicholas Johnson, another member of the FCC, had hurt the FCC's image.
However, Wells said, the singing out of specific litigation that are brought before the FCC and talking about them can be difficult. "It's not as hard to whatever he wanted about general issues."
Johnson was appointed to the FCC in 1966 after serving two years in the Department of Justice.
Johnson took issue with the other members of the FCC in August when he said the FCC should require beacasters to accept all paid advertisements.
Before that, the FCC had upheld the right of WTOP, a Post-Newswear radio station. to

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Voters Tuesday will send back to the U.S. House of Representatives 49 members who have faced nothing but voter apathy, spotty press coverage and few offers of free television time.
Even worse by normal political standards the opposition part has completely ignored the
Not one of the 49 has an opponent. A few managed to stir up primary opposition only to smother it. Of the total, 45 are Democrats and four are Republicans.
Most explain their success by saying they are campaigning all the time, election year or not. No politician ever knows if a challenger will surface next time around.
Lack of effective opposition also tends to create another problem for incumbents: can they afford a backer you need money to keep your name before the voters when you do not have a
However, sixteen reported that they received a total of $73,545.24. In all, the candidates without opponents paid $42,383.56 for political advertisements and other costs.
Their records showed they took people to inch, bought church banners, handed out invitations, and even gave contributions to other candidates (presumably of their own political view).
In financial records on file with the House clerk, 27 of the 49 unposed congressmen said they got no contributions and spent nothing on their own behalf.
While state and local issues often dominate in election years when the presidency is not at stake, the Republicans have charged Democrats with being "soft on violence." Democrats have responded by hitting hard at pocketbook issues, blaming the Nixon Adoption for rising grocery prices, increasing unemployment and high interest rates.
On Tuesday, the GOP can win control of the house with a net gain of 29 seats, a gain that
Democrats are独持 25 Senate seats and Republicans only 10. The GOP needs a net gain of seven seats, a pickup which is considered possible but difficult.
In the statehouses, the Republicans now control 24 and the Democrats 11 of the House.
The UPI survey listed as tassos key Senate races in California, Connecticut, Indiana, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
Democrat Adalie A. Stevenson III was favored to defeat Sen. Ralph T. Smith, I-RII, while Sen. Winston L. Propty, R-VI, was favored to defeat Democrat theocratic challenger, former Gov. Phil H. Hill
March, Vigil, Speeches
Easy Democratic victories were forecast in the Senate for Hubert H. Humphrey in New York, Edward J. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Edward L. Maine. But in New York, poll takers gave the nod to the Conservative party candidate, James L. Buckley, who has pledged to vote against the control of the Senate, over the Republican incumbent and the Democratic challenger.
Little change was expected in the present house line of 243 Democrats and 187 Republicans, after expected seat swapping. The Democrat had end up with a possible net gain of one seat.
The survey gave Democrats the edge in other Senate races which have been special targets. These include Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico and Wyoming.
The Democrats have a chance in Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Newville, New Mexico, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin, and Maine. The Republicans have a chance in Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
Democrats eager to cut into the lopsided GOP control of governorships, were favored to dump Republicans in Florida, Ohio, Minnesota and possibly Pennsylvania.
Calmness Pervades Day For Antiwar Protesters
By JOHN GAGE
and CHERYL MEHAN Kansan Staff Writers
About 200 University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents participated Saturday in an antiwar demonstration sponsored by the Lawrence Peace Action Demonstrators staged a "peace walk" down the Lawrence Street and a rally and vigil in South Park.
Demonstrators gathered at 10 a.m. in Central Park and were brieved by marshals on conduct during the march. Marshals for the "peace walk" were organized by Robert Shelton, assistant professor of religion, to keep the march peaceful.
At 10:30 a.m. the group left central Park, teaching four ahead of Seventh Street to children in the district and "Bring All the Troops Home Now" headed the procession. An American flag on a bomb was placed near the entrance.
A drum corps, made up of individual members of the KU Marching Band, followed the banner. Behind the drum corps was a cardboard board coffin carried by KU students.
For the most part those who participated were silent, and the prevailing tone of the men was hostile.
Spectators along the route were silent, stopping to watch the marchers as they moved. There was little verbal harassment between spectators and demonstrators.
Besides students, several Lawrence families and senior citizens part in the care of their children; caretakers that read "I don't want to kill" and "War is not healthy for children and other adults."
The march reached South Park at 11 a.m. and the first speaker, James Quirk, professor of economics, was introduced. Quirk spoke on the economic aspects of the war. He said that military pressure is not going to stop the war. Militar and social pressure is the only answer."
Donald Marquis, assistant professor of philosophy, discussed the progress made by the autumn movement in the past six years. He said the issue for American politicians still "what level of involvement in the war be tolerated by the American people."
Michael Mabar, associate professor of biology and the last speaker, quoted CIA statistics on National Liberation Front infiltration of South Vietnamese government.
"The government of South Vietnam is heavily infiltrated by the NLA at all levels," he said. "The only thing that keeps Thieu in power is the presence of U.S. troops."
Mather said that this situation was a creat-
ication of the sympathies of the South
Vietnamese people. After the speeches, the
crowd was entertained briefly by Rick
Hammer and then proceeded tophoem. The
make was then left open for others wished
to express their opinions of the war.

After the University Senate voted to reconsider the motion, the Senate Executive Committee directed the Committee on Organization and Administration to rewrite the article. The new draft is a combination of six proposals submitted by various faculty members and provides clarification for those in charge of the original article vague, according to Gerhardt Zather, professor of English and chairman of the rewriting committee.

Since the repeal of the article, student and faculty indignation has been aroused.
The question of the article's legal entry into our University Senate Rules and Regulations has long been a matter of debate.
Shades of interpretation have been affixed to the meaning of student representation, resulting in a see-saw battle of retorts as to how it should be implemented.
Bil Ebert, Topkea senior and student body president, said that the University Council agreed to convene a meeting according to the Senate Code, because three meetings failed to produce a quorum to vote.
He said that Rick von Ende, Abilee, Tex. graduate student and originator of the amendment, was preparing to introduce article 34.2 on the floor when a faculty committee for a quantum which sent the bill to the University Council for consideration.
