could pick up their first two college years in a junior college. A "C" average should be sufficient for admission as a graduate from a junior college," he said.
Booth said he agreed with the present policy.
Both candidates agreed that quality education depends upon the teaching faculty but each he had different ways of inspiring high standards.
Booth said in his response that the strengths of the faculty must be used more
"ONE STEP would be to make sure we are paying our best professors enough to keep them from going elsewhere," Keltz said, "and making the entire salary of our students attractive so that we can get our share of the best from other schools." he said.
Booth and Keltz disagreed in their
University Daily Kansan
responses to the survey as to how to increase state revenue.
Keltz said he does not favor an increase in the sales tax but does in the income tax.
If accompanied by a decrease in the property tax, Booth said he favors an increase in the property tax.
BOOTH SAID he favors parmutuel betting because of the stimulus it would give the
Both candidates agreed that parimutual both candidates and liquor by the drink should be served.
Capital construction should not be funded by the students, both candidates said.
"Serious thought is being given to funding education through increased tuition accompanied by loans and grants, loans which bear interest after graduation; funds for the purchase of new equipment in State through the Bond Program rather than taxation," Booth said. "This would

leave available funds for capital construction."
TO PRESERVE quality education Vogel said that there should be more cooperation among the state colleges and universities, less duplication of masters and doctorate programs and better communication institutions and the taxavers of Kansas.
The two candidates disagree on the issue of increasing state revenue.
Landon, now 85, retired from public life in 1948 but still maintains an active interest in politics.
"There are some basic questions in all political campaigns," Landon said Tuesday in an interview. "It all depends upon how the issues are presented."
An important issue in his campaign against Franklin D. Roosevelt, he said, was the economic state of the nation, then locked in a serious depression.
Alfred Landon Maintains Active Political Awareness
There is nothing new under the sun, not even in politics, according to Alfred M. Landon, former Kansas governor and 1936 Republican presidential candidate.

income taxes along with passage of parmutual betting and liqueur by the drink. However, Glover said, taxes on food, drugs and housing should be eliminated. He also supports a severance tax on gas and oil, he said.
Fred McEhlenne, assistant dean of men, ol'd the committee that a rough draft of the proposed contracts should be ready by Nov. 17. The deadline for the final product is Nov. 30.
Though Impson said he did not favor increased sales taxes, he did support a one per cent increase in the rate of the income tax and a separate parimutuel betting and liquor by the drink.

Committee Considers Coed Living Plans For Residence Halls
The Contract Coordinating Committee, working under a Nov. 10 deadline to complete a rough draft of a contract for all University residence halls, discussed turning another residence hall into a coed hall Wednesday night. Gertrude Sellars Pearson, Corbin and Templin were suggested for possible coed halls.
MelEhenie said that the residence halls needed to have at least 90 percent occupancy. He said they were within the budget, and that coed halls seemed to fill up quickly. Many men had asked to live in one of the coed halls, but the men for men had already been filled, he said.
Suggestions concerning changes in food service were discussed. Beinner requested that the hall representatives ask their customers about complaints about food service as it was now-Lenore Ekdahl, head of the Housing Office and director of food services, would be asked to comment on the feasibility of proposals and suggestions at a Nov. 6 meeting.
"A mult-option" hall was suggested by McEllenie. Such a hall would appeal to three or four types of interest groups. Don McEllenie, a junior, suggested that more advantages be given to students to live in a residence hall. In an all male hall, these advantages might include physical education facilities, such as weight rooms, or a garage for those interested in car racing. More services would be provided to encourage students to live in this type of hall.
It was noted by committee members that Hashinger was completely full this year after switching to a coed, creative art hall. John Beinser, Salina sophomore, said that the reason for Hashinger's success was because the hall was a "total program."
While Buzi agrees with the present plan, Ketley said that initially higher education should be available to all Kansas high school graduates. The availability contingues upon "the educational progression" of the student, Ketley said.
Beisner also suggested that the committee bring to the regular Monday meeting Nov. 6 only those proposes which were thought to be most important in order to speed up the completion of the rough draft of the contract.
Winston Harwood, Glover's Republican opponent, did not respond to the survey.

"A nation will survive to correct its faults," he said. "The financial program is coupled with them, the nation faces destruction." Landon in a 1936 speech before a crowd at the Kansas University auditorium.
A CONSULTANT to Landon, Clark M. Eichleberger, director of the League of Nations, said in 1936, "Problems of today are world problems. There is scarcely a single domestic issue that is not affected by the world situation.
Still a strong Republican, London today is favorable view of Nixon's economic policies.
During his campaign, Landon dealt with issues involving world peace.
"Look what he's accomplished since he's
in office. Landon said, 'he's opened
the new museum.'"
Although Landon's own experience with the accuracy of political polls has been limited, he said he thought predictions of a Nixon victory were correct.
"In the light of these facts, the next president will be called upon for a high degree of cooperation and constant conferences to solve certain broad economic and social problems, without which the world cannot have peace."
THE CANDIDATES agree that quality education should be maintained through proper training. They answer Katehley emphasized that the funding be equitable and sensible while Buzz emphasized higher education as a high priority for legislature, legislature and academic community.
"The state of Kansas has ample funds at the present time to support higher education," Vogel said. "It's a matter of priorities," he said.
"My experience with polls is that I check with the sources," said Landon. "I've quoted a number of letters and I think the President has an excellent chance at reelection."
"I THINK NIXON has done a fine job," he said. "It's extremely difficult to try to settle the war and political problems at the same time."
If additional revenues were needed, Vogel

increase.
Michael Glover, Democratic candidate for state representative from the 44th district, said he agreed with the present admission policies.
Buzzi and Keithley said in their responses to the survey that they must analyze the present tax system more thoroughly before they can name specific means of revenue changes.
BOTH CANDIDATES agree that students must not have bonded indebtedness to them.
Landon said he was still anxious to see the establishment of a lasting world peace.
Though Burzi is against students funding construction by bonded indebtedness, Keithley said that if the students feel three reasons for such funding they should vote on it.
More and better funding, teacher-student evaluation, and better administration would improve outcomes.
Glover said he supported additional revenue from increases in the sales and
Poli Sci Prof Says Nixon, Docking to Win
"Nixon has been a successful president in the area of foreign affairs and for that reason, he will be re-elected," Carl Lajun, vice president of political science, told faculty members.
Lujan based his statement on his interpretation of the national, state, and local politics. He said that this evaluation showed that both Nixon and Gov. Robert Docking would be successful in their bids for reelection.
Lajan said a 46 per cent defection rate of the Democrats to the Republican party has contributed.
Laju cited as factors in the national election outcome the defection rate of the Democrats to the Republican Party and population shifts.
Nixon has built the kind of coalition the Democratic Party used to help, Lajan said. This new kind of party alignment for the Rise Against Party will affect the voter's choice, he said.
"Voting tends to be a social affair for the Republican and they lose Nixon.
At the state level, Lujan said, Morris Kray, Kansas Republican candidate for governor, has a credibility problem which would hurt his chance of winning.
Lujan said that in a televised Docking-Kay debate last week, Kanh didn't offered any new proposals so that his stand on the issues differed little from Docking's.
Lujan said the increase in the population
Lajan said the 130,000 newly enfranchised voters in Kansas would be another factor to be considered. Lajan predicted that only one of the 18, 19, and 20-year-olds would vote.
The highest voter registration in the history of Leavenworth, Jefferson, Franklin and Douglas counties was reported Tuesday by the election commissioners and county clerks. They reported that 206,808 persons turned out in those counties to register.
The high registration figures supported a statement Monday by Elwish Shanahan, Secretary of State, that stated that more than 100 million had registered to vote in the Nov. 7 election.
High Registration Reported
The county officials said that the number of absentee voters in the counties was also hit.
Shanahan said that if all of the registered Kansans voted in the election, it would be the first time in history that more than one million persons voted in a Kansas election.
Election commissioners and county clerks from the four counties anticipated
Charles Turner, Leavenworth county clerk, said he didn't think all registered
voters would vote. "They never do," he said.
Keneth Zachariah, Jefferson county clerk; Bruce Spears, Franklin county clerk; and Wanda Coder, Riley election commissioner, agreed with Turner. Executions of those elections had convinced them that not all these elections would turn out, they said.
Alfighthe officials do not expect all the registered voters to vote, they are expecting them to vote.
The officials said it would take longer to count the larger number of votes this year.
