Profs Give Reasons for Nixon's Win
BY JOHN FARLEY
Kansan Staff Writer
President Nixon's hold on Republican majority groups and the absence of opposition to his nomination contributed to his overwhelming election victory, Melvin Krahn, professor of political science at Wichita State University said Saturday.
Krahn spoke at the fail meeting of the Kansas Political Science Association
"There was a major difference between the Democrats and the Republicans this time, as far as the nominating process was concerned," Krahn said.
HE SAID that Nixon had Rep. Paul McCloskey, R-Calif, on one side and Rep. John Ashburn, R-Ohio, on the other and that Nixon had taken care of the middle without worrying about dividing it up with anyone else.
'Richard Nixon was the center of the Republican party and was able to preempt
the middle, as he has been able to sac-
crifice do during his political career"
"believe that."
Krahn said that there were too many democratic which misled it, which misled it by which misled it by
The Presidential race would have been much closer, Krahn said, if the Democrats had had one central figure running for the office.
"I don't think there were many people who thought of him as being the strongest type of candidate," he said. "Ten young people working for McGovern did an outstanding job in putting the convention together."
Krahn said that the spirit of McGovern's backers clinched his nomination.
Another major blunder made by McKovern, according to Krahn, "was the attack on the Chesapeake Bay."
One of McGovens' major mistakes, Krahn said, was allowing the delegates to unseat the Daley delegation. He said that this prevented him from using the strong Democratic support of the Daley organization.
Schusler said that simulation learning could be helpful in career education by showing students requirements needed for a job. He showed how students could be healed. He said that simulation could make students aware of the emotional needs of a particular job as well as real limitations on job performance.
Prospects for Simulation Learning Discussed by Secondary Educators
"THE SYNDROME of getting a job and being on a job involves more than all," he said.
"Simulation learning deals mainly with emotional, social and economic structures of human beings through simulation," Schusler said.

Simulation learning in career education was the topic of a discussion led by Richard Schusler, associate professor of education, at the career education forum for secondary educators Friday afternoon at Lawrence High School.
Schusler displayed a simulation game called Planville. The game was designed to simulate the conditions of a bridge.
The discussion was part of a two day forum sponsored by Lawrence Unified School District 497, Kansas State University and the University of Kansas. The purpose of the program was to examine the effects and possibilities of career education.
He said. McGewen's he on as I did. He said, McGewen's he on as I did. Sen. Thomas Eagleman, D-Mo., was not the strongest he could have made, because he did not appear to the blue collar worker."
He defined career education as the process in which the opportunity is provided for every student to measure up to his full potential.
"Career education is another approach to the total concept of education that may revitalize education in this country," Childs said.

towns developed by allowing the student-participants to assume the roles of the first citizens of the town. The participants must understand that determined the growth of the town.
The games break a lot of barriers and allow children to learn at different levels and teachers to work with the children individually, he said.
One of the major problems of education in America today is that students are forced into the common mold that leads to a PhD, be said.
BOB CHILDERS, executive secretary of the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions of Atlanta, Ga., spoke at the opening session of the forum.
Schusler said that he had become involved in simulation teaching because he was entranced by the teaching power of simulation.
In this philosophy, he said, 99 per cent of the students and adults pay attention because they never learn. PhD, PHD.
because they had the tendency to measure success in light of their own achievement,
He questioned the attitude, structure, expectation and goals of education.
He said that the student should not be discouraged in pursuing his own career goals.
Childers said he reproached teachers
The campaign was explained by James Titus, professor of political science, University of Oxford.
Educators from Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina and Texas helped direct the program. Teachers from area schools were invited to participate in the forum.
"The purpose of career education is to help the student develop to this capacity, not to teach a particular course of study," he said.
After the address by Childers, the participants broke up into nine discussion groups.
These discussion groups included:
Consumer Economics and Career Education, Environmental Career Education, Utilizing Community Resources, Career Education Work Experiences, SelfImage in Career Education, Media and Technology Learning or Career Education and Mini-Courses Related to Career Education.
CHILDERS SAID that the concept of career education was spreading and that people were trying to do something about the problems of education.
"Many people think that McGovern is on the way he dropped Ed fastleton," he said.
Saturday the participants broke into subject area discussion groups after a panel
Many people wonder why McGovenn didn't name a new runnable mate at the time he dropped Eagleton, *Titus* said. He said it was an error some purpose for McGovenn's decision.
It is now clear that there were two definite campaigns within the Democratic Party, one to win the nomination and another to win the election. Titus said.
"The coalition that McGovenn put together to win the nomination was young people, blacks and other minority groups." Titus said. "It seems to me he was trying to create a new type of democratic coalition which was not involved in the election.
"The minority groups may get you the nomination but it is very unlikely that this low-voting-turnout-type of coalition is going to get you the election.
"I am not sure that we are ready to have a winning coalition of young people, blacks, Chicanos, poor people, people on welfare or the down trodden of America," Thus said.
"Time was on their side," he said. "They knew that Nixon would be moninated, and they had time to plan a campaign before it began.
There were several reasons for the Republican party's win, he said.
The Republicans spent twice as much as the Democrats had on their campaign. Thus the Republican effort to win was much stronger.
He said that he thought the White House knew the Henry Kissinger report of a rapid sigism was not true, but still put publicity behind it.
He said that after the Kissinger report he appointed the hospital on the issue but was unsuccessful.
The election returns were explained by Shanto Iyengar, professor of political science at Kansas State University, who focused on the Nixon ladslide.
"One explanation of the Nixon landslide might be the McGovern candidacy."
He said that many Democrats could not identify with McGoventry, and that this resulted in the Democratic support of Nixon.
