Hoffman Focuses Speech On Separation of Powers
By EMERSON LYNN Kansan Staff Writer
The passage of the Executive Article would mean that the candidate for governor could be a Leutnant Governor would run on the same ticket. The offices of attorney, general, and state attorney would remain the same, with the exception of a pay raise, he said. The offices of governor, missioner, state auditor and state treasurer no longer would be elective office but would be nominated.
On Nov. 7 voters may expand the power of the Kansas executive branch without really understanding the complexities of amendments, Robert Hoffman said Wednesday night. Hoffman spoke to the Young Republicans in Room of the Kansas Room.
Hoffman, Republican candidate opposing Vern Miller for governor, told a news speech on the separation of governmental powers. He attacked the particular Proposal Number One to be voted on Nov. 18.
"The proposition, also called the Executive Article, is very complex. That is why I think it is the duty of the press and myself to explain in detail the effects the Secretary may have," Hoffman said.
Hoffman also said that the
elected officials would be elected for four year terms beginning in 1974 if the Executive Article was passed.
"The most important issues of this proposition are the least known," Hoffman said. "If the voters pass this proposal it will give the governor power to give new offices in state government."
"The governor will have no legislative guidelines with this new power," he said. "He may fire or bury him at his discretion."
This could be especially dangerous if the governor and the legislature were from the same party," he said. "But the synopsis presented to the voters in November will not explain
Hoffman said the proposal would transfer power from the legislature to the executive and voters should be conscious of.
Hoffman said that government in its present state was not representative enough.
"If the voters pass Proposition Number One on the November ballot they unconsciously would vote for Mr. Bush's representation," Hoffman said.
The voters should make an effort to reject Proposal Number 10. They should govern and give the voters the representation they should have.
Hoffman also said he opposed
*Learning by television and computer; open universities and three-year degree programs*—are all part of the future of nontraditional study, John Valentine, executive secretary of the Commission on Non-Formal Study, said Wednesday.
Speaker Touts Continuing Study

Valentine is a featured speaker of the national conference on nontraditional study, which will be held in Houston. The conference began Tuesday.
THERE IS an assumption that recent high school graduates are more worthy of higher education than those receiving education or coming to the university for the first time, Valentine said. The system poses a challenge to students who are accepting credits and requiring them to be in residence to get a degree. This eliminates mothers, caregivers and the handcapped.
If there is one theme to this conference, said Tom Walters, director of both the Conference

Board Urges Organization Of Employment Program
Committee To Announce 4th Member
The Rev. Carl Johnson, 836 Indiana, said the Lawrence Ministerial Alliance thought that the STEP program was necessary and worthwhile and that early planning for the program would continue, with the community coming from local churches.
Support for the Summer Teenage Employment Program (STEP) and the need for in-force staffing organization by the Lawrence Human Relations Commission, a volunteer advisory board, were stressed in the commission's meeting Wednesday night.
The main emphasis at this time would be organization, he said. The program would be a new and better image. The program was established.
Johnson said the program would require a budget of $7,000 to cover all costs, including teenagers through the summer months. Since no money is available in the city budget, he felt it was best for parents would be supported mainly by
One faculty representative and one alternate from the Medical Center probably will be chosen to serve as the spokesperson, according to the spokesman.

churches. Funds would be sought for 1974 from the United Fund or Church, and the fund he said, though there may be a 3-year working status requirement for churches.
Last summer the program was discontinued two weeks early because of a lack of interest shown by local businessmen was called fitfully and that indicates that the lawmaker Junior Chamber of Commerce be contacted about sponsoring the program and possibly increasing sales.
Commission members, who represent diverse communities and serve three-year terms, are represented by churches for increased involvement by churches since only half are represented in the Ministerial Alliance, and that increased involvement and concern was necessary.
Commission members decide to study the situation of the East Parks and Recreation Center he didn't believe the Center was being utilized as well as it could. It is presently staffed part-time by the city Parks and Recreation Department.
Chairman Claude Norris expressed satisfaction that the city had enacted a human relations
ordinance establishing an af firmative action program.
The Commission is sponsored by the College Board and the Educational Testing Services and the Carnegie Corp. of New York.
"Our emphasis over the past year has been in the areas of job commissions," he said, "but unless people have jobs other than us they can't do them much good. That's why our emphasis now will be on
Norman Steffens said he expected the ordinance to make the commission's job easier by the methods and objectives.
Originally, it focused on external degrees such as the New York City degrees, which are given to anyone who has fulfilled certain requirements regardless of where they have ever been in a classroom.
—reach out to serve a more diverse group of students in age, circumstances and needs. So far, the college has taught students and are geared to the young student on campus rather than seeking higher education.
It has rapidly spread to a variety of alternative study programs. Valentine said not all are well received and the periods of study with periods of work, "testing out" of requirements, correspondence courses and independent study courses, he said, but they are spreading.
—have flexibility to accommodate today. Total individual universities are bound by time, space and custom while nontraditional universities study a curriculum that suit its needs; interest learning rate is high.
THE COMMISSION has five basic principles, Valnetine said. Nontraditional study should:
--draw on all the available resources. Both human and institutional resources are largely used in the traditional study. Valentine said,
Nontraditional study could make use of older students, retired professionals and lay volunteers in church churches and volunteer groups.

The affirmative action proposal issued Tuesday would review the board's board of review by several groups on campus affected by the proposal, said Shaffer, chairman of the board which issued the proposal.
--recognize what a person has already learned, regardless of its source. The majority of learning occurs inside a university, said Valentine.
THE APPLICATION of these principles, Valentine said, would increase the number and variety of teachers in our region regardless of a person's age, work, handicaps or circumstances. It would make the teacher an educational activity, he said. Churches, libraries, cable television, volunteer groups and the local newspapers would all be

The Medical Center student representative will be elected by the Students' Assembly to be a member of Assembly. The name will be sent to von Ende, secretary of the Student Association.
All members of the Medical Center faculty were sent a mail ballot last week containing three nominees to the search com-
To be successful, it must be on a national scale with extensive information, counseling and examination services, he said. There would also need to be some additional education credits educational credits that would be accessible to education institutions, Valentine said.
ACCREDITING procedures are undergoing revision that will help eliminate the possibility of nontraditional study turning into diploma mills. There is also some risk of nontraditional president, deans and professors who are exploring nontraditional study methods.

member search committee will be

Rick von Ende, acting executive secretary, said that if the Medical Center faculty nomination was not received in Chicago, he would represent the Medical Center representative would not attend the first search committee meeting Sunday. The representative and alternate then met with officials from the authority instead of by the Faculty Council. Von Ende did not disclose who would select the final nominee, and no student was named today.

The Affirmative Action Board will wait for proposed revisions from different boards and committees at the University of Michigan, acting Chancellor Raymond Nichols, according to Shaffer.

Prizes will be awarded to the first five finishers, the first three finishers, the first (three Douglas County students) and the oldest person to finish the race.

KU affirmative action plan calling for a description of criteria for a job available to all employers.
Additional guidelines for affirmative action were issued Tuesday by the Department of Education and Welfare, according to Shaffer.
Shaffer said the HEW proposal did not include the requirements, which the KU affirmative action proposal listed proposals for students for health care and social sciences, senior, academic advisers and financial aid and admissions officers.
"There will be a few minor changes in the affirmative action proposal and the one we submitted," said Shaffer. "But the two proposals are identical."
Gilham said the biggest change would be to add a section in the
