*NVERAL recent books and studies deal with bids of voters in the 2014 presidential traditional political orientations. The books speculate on the emergence of a kepublican base, and the need to address the two major parties on a more liberal-conservative spectrum for either theory.
Editors Note: Earl A. Nehring is associate professor of political science and chairman of the political science department at New York University. Nehring spent a year as a faculty fellow of the Citizenship Clearing House and a year with the Republican National Committee, during which time he contributed to the creation of a manual on big city politics.
Nehring noted that while independents were increasing the number of Democrats held
An increase in the number of independents and ticket-splitters in the American voting public has helped voters. According to Earl Nehring, associate professor of law at Fordham University, the real stent majority.
"Studies have shown that the one concrete shift in voter tenure is a number of those who consider themselves independents as opposed to claiming affiliation with a political party," Nehrong said.
"This project will benefit millions of people during its lifetime of more than 100 years," Needham said.
Docking, in brief comment at the luncheon, stressed the preservation of resources as a vital part of the Kansas economy
"Clinton is a major step in improving our resources. We shall increase the amount that of bringing water in controlled ample quantity to the reservoirs."
"Some studies show that independents fall somewhere between the liberal or conservative orientations. The shift to independent status might suggest a realignment; it certainly does not make the flexibility in politics—the so-called silent majority voice," he said.
Carlson, a senator at the time the project got its start in 1953, was instrumental in pushing Carlson to join the network. Carlson said that the Clinton project went through more easily than others, thanks to the help of Gay and her husband, Bob, who labored heavily for the project.
Nethring said that that ideology was becoming more important today in that there was greater acceptance of the approach to problems, but noted the pragmatism of American politics and the difficulty of packaging views as either liberal or conservative in view of the complexities.
The Clinton project was proposed out of a 1953 Congressional study on the

Kansas River basin. The study was prompted by a devastating flood in 1851, which inundated the river in the Kansas River Valley.
Normal conservation level for the reservoir will be 7,000 feet, with a flood stage capacity of 2,500 feet. The conservation pool acreage will be in Douglas County. Richmond county will be covered with the lake using a drip irrigation system.
A shift of commitment would be seen if Republicans ran well in Congressional races this fall—a Republican shift all down the line instead of just for president, Nehring said. This could be a sign that the state is under the document of voters of a magnitude unknown since the New Deal age.
AT THE groundbreaking site,
Needham showed the crowd the
bluffs that the dam will connect.
The dam will span nearly 9,000
meter.
Project officials say that Clinton will draw more than one million visitors a year for boating, fishing and camping.
"The House sees out of reach, but perhaps the Senate will go Republican this fall. I really don't know it will, though." Nebring said.
While work has started on the dam itself, land acquisition and the removal of phone and water lines are not yet complete.
IN ANALYZING the labor vote and the antagonism of much of organized labor to Sen. George McGovern, Nehring said he thought that President Nixon would do much better than the cent of the labor vote accorded to the Republican candidate.
A "Southern strategy" is implicit in any Republican presidential campaign, he said, but is not an invention of President Obama. His presidential candidates have done well in the South in the last several elections, but now there is evidence that the Republican candidate to compete more and more in state government in the region.
The role of the presidency is a major factor in political campaigns and organization, he said, because the presidency is the pivotal point around which the party organization revolves.
"MOST STATE parties are autonomous and interested only in the affairs of their own state." Nehring pointed out. "The only
time a national party truly exists is during the presidential election year."
The party's national committee is the only national organization the party in the White House has to be involved in, a national organization, Nethring said. The President is able to dominate the national committee and handpick its chairman, he said, but most of the work outside the office is done by work outside the office.
"Most presidents now rely on a personal organization to come to office and use the national force," Benefit, "Nehring said. "Of course we use the machinery of government when they are in office, but the national organization becomes a one-man, one-marmor arm of the executive."
Recent efforts by both parties,
notably by the Democrats, have been successful in increasing the number of small contributions, but it is still too early to tell how much the campaign can fund. Needed said
THE PARTY that has lost a presidential election is, in essence, leaderless, Nehring said. It looks to Congress for its national leadership. During this time the national committee may have a greater stature to try to counterbalance that of the president.
Nehring said that the common conceptions of political funding was basically correct, but that he did not believe in proportion. Funds from business more often go to finance Republican campaigns, but there are other parties who are regular contributors to the Democratic party, he said. He said that they would go to the Democrats. The only significant departure from this pattern occurred in 1964 when he began working business backing, he noted.
TWO PIECES of federal legislation were enacted in an effort to increase the campaign financing more meaningful. One limits the level of spending and another requires candidates to pay a year, every two or three months during the campaign. But state laws still vary widely, he pointed out.
Nehring said that party platforms shouldn't be taken lightly by the public.
"A platform is propaganda in the true sense of the word—propaganda, also the only time the parties sit down and say what it believes in," he said. "Despite the armament, it is influencing the voters, it is a meaningful document, and that platforms are followed."
Oriental Department Will Hear Gripes

Gripe sessions and individual student profiles are provided of the Office of Student Affairs department's reorganizational process. Carl Leibman, chairman of the Office of Student Affairs, is
the reorganization, initiated last spring, coincides with an amendment in enrollment both Japanese and Lebanese in the semester, Leban said. The restructuring wasn't planned as a result of the shift to Oriental languages, but because of desire to perfect the student learning process, Leban
A language aptitude test also has been instituted.
WHILE THE Modern Language Aptitude Test is not new, the University of Kansas is, in Lebanon, a region which covers five language-related studies, was given to all foreign Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
"We want to find weak points in advance, instead of at the final exams." Leban said. "Students must be coached in these areas."
"This is your chance to air your grips before they become resentment." Leban stated in a memo to all Oriental languages and literature students. The class was held on Wednesday, session, held Wednesday. No faculty members but Leban were allowed at the meeting.
Leban said the scores point up weaknesses. These are organized on profile sheets, which are returned to the students.
Norman Hastings, Lawrence graduate student, compiled a general bibliography on several subjects and learning Oriental languages.
The sudden enrollment leap in beginning Chinese and Japanese has thus necessitated hiring two foreign assistants. The language staff already included two half-time faculty members, Lebanese said.
Beginning Japanese enrollment has varied from five each semester in recent years; students enrolled this semester.
HASTINGS is considering educational trends and controversies in Oriental languages and will continue his research in these areas. He was fellowship awarded by the Japanese Ministry of Education.
Beginning Chinese, which has drawn an average of 30 students in a private school enrolled. Half of the number is in an intensive section for 12 hours
Growth in enrollment may be due to the presidential trip to China, increased interest in work opportunities in East Asian business, and U.S.-Japanese trade problems. Lebanese said.
Beginning Korean, last offered two years ago, attracted only one student.
Five faculty committees have been set up to review departmental practices and recommend them in the light of Hastings' work.

According to Les McLaughlin, Dallas senior and Interfraternity officer for the dormitories have difficulties pledging men during fall and spring semester break because of obligations to the dormitories.
To break a contract, a student must pay the University $284, a prorated payment decided on by the University.
McLaughlin said some fraternities had decided to pay the fee to break a contract for a prospective member.
He said students were offered a semester by semester contract and could be met by the University and students who did not move out at semester would have to make up the difference for those who did.
The IFC has requested the University to return to the one semester contracts, but such requests have been accepted. McLaughlin said.
