By Terry Bauroth
Kansan staff writer
Carole Manning buried into the Overland Park Marriott Hotel Friary, hoping that Dan Quayle's speech could help her decide who she would cast her vote for in the November presidential election.
"I'm still deciding between Dukakis and Bush that thought it was pretty important I come to this one."
Manning, Overland Park resident, was one of 500 public watchers who attended the breakfast. The breakfast, Quayle, the Republican vice presidential nominee, spoke about the upcoming election. The breakfast was over the Overland Park Chamber.

According to several recent national polls, about four in 10 surveys surveyed were weakly committed
The Indiana senator said that Dukakis' first statement at the Democratic convention in Atlanta, where he said that this election was not about ideology but competence, was wrong.
Manning was one of many who said that they
"Of course it's about competence, but it's also about ideology." Quavle said.
"Ideology means telling the American people what you're going to do for them. Or more specifically, what he's going to do to us if he should become president."

Carol Coats of Overland Park said that although she was leaning toward the Bush-Quay ticket, she thought that Quayle had evaded a couple of issues.

TOPEKA - Local political campaigns gathered
steam yesterday; at three events in Topeka and
Missouri.
Underlying two events was an emphasis on maintaining the Republican presence in the Legislature.

Meinhardt, a Topeka resident, is challenging incumbent Jim Slattery. D.Topeka for the U.S.
Dole said Meinhardt's election was important in sustaining the Republican majority in the U.S.
House seat in the 2nd congressional district.
Dole also addressed about 30 College Republicans from the University of Kansas who attended a Republican primary, and for their federal defect, all 30 or so of you bright young people from KU won't have the opportunities we need.
More than 200 attended the "Dole 4 Meinhard" breakfast at the Downtown Ramada Inn in Topeka. Meinhard campaigns a campaign contribu-
tive to the Ramada sponsors of the breakfast. "Kansans For Meinhard."
In Lawrence, about 20 persons, including 10 local candidates, attended a "Meet the Candidates Forum" at Centennial Park, Sixth and Iowa streets
Attorney General Robert Stephan expressed
concern at the forum about maintaining a Republican majority in the Legislature. He added that he was uncomfortable with the close presidential race in Kansas.
"It does have to concern you somewhat to the polls in Kansas showing Bush and Dukakis so close." Stephan said. "I've never seen the Democrats so organized."

Stephan called the presidential race "as important an election as we've seen in a decade" because reappointment probably will cause him to act as a congressman in the next legislative session.

On launch day, the crew will remember the Challenger astro nauts, and in orbit, they plan a special memorial.

More than a half-million people are expected to jam roadside, areas to watch Discovery's area. More than 3,000 news media representatives from around the world have been kept at a spot several miles from the press site because of NASA's possibility of an accident due to the possibility.
Large crowds attended the first shuttle launches in 1981, but after 24 successful missions, interest was low. Only 600 news people were hired to launch, and that was more than had shown up for the three previous flights because of passenger Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher, who taught lessons from orbit.

U. citizens were shocked.
Before the day was out, most had seen the endless television replays of the world's worst space disaster that claimed the lives of five women. Millions of schoolchildren who had planned to body McAuliffe's lessons were badly shaken.

The commission report said cold weather, 36 degrees at liftoff, off course, and the O-rings, preventing them from sealing the joint properly. Some engineers had argued with the commission over the launch in the cold, but their concerns never were relayed to the engineer who made the launch decision.
The report cited troubling laps in judgment, expertise, communications and management within the space agency. It indicated that some NASA engineers had feared that trouble lurked in the rockets, with their displays showing instances where soot was found on recovered boosters.
