CYD Backs Republican
In a surprise move, the Collegiate Young Democrats (CYD) endorsed a Republican candidate for the November elections at their meeting Tuesday night in the Kansas Union.
Richard Seaton, assistant attorney general and Republican attorney general, was endorsed at the meeting.
"We believe Seaton is more in tune with the student ideals and that Vern Miller seems to be taking a more law-and-order stand, of which we are a bit wary," said Garth Burns, Hutchinson senior and CYD vice-president in charge of membership.
Miller is sheriff of Sedgwick County and Democratic candidate for attorney general.
Other candidates endorsed at the meeting were Jim DeCoursey, Lieutenant Governor and Democratic candidate for U.S. Representative from the third congressional district, and Jim Juhnke,
a professor at Bethel College in Newton and Democratic candidate for U.S. Representative from the fourth congressional district.
The campus radio station, KANU, is one of the most powerful FM stations in the Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri area. Its broadcasting area includes five states.
The station is operated as a practical workshop for students in radio and television and as a public service media.
Recent changes at KANU are approaching two goals, according to Dick Wright, the KANU station director. Wright said the first goal is to provide the opportunity for students to further their education by participating in the broadcasting production.
The use of the station as a laboratory is similar to the use of the Kansan by journalism students, said Wright. Much like reporters for the Kansan, the students at KANU investigate their story, work out a presentation and broadcast their own material—a new idea in broadcasting education.
KANU also provides a variety of educational programs. As broadcasting students cover campus events relating to such topics as ecology, poverty and racial strife. In this way, Wright said, KANU acts as a mediator between the students, the faculty and the community.

Laird said, however, that if the step becomes necessary, the United States could rely on the Jordanian army for protection of the evacuation operation.
