Young Convention Alternates Accept Roles as Observers
By RANDALL BECKER
MIAMI BEACH — The Republican party's power play to young men, as alternates in the 1972 National Convention did not appear to disturb the seven presentatives under the age of 30.
Six of the seven representatives are alternates. This followed a letter from chairman Bob Dole called the party's plan to avoid a repeat of the 1980s' strategy.
Discounting the possibility of being token gestures at the convention, most of the young representatives said young voters eased into party politics based on time spent party politics in the party.
"It IS a gradual process in the Republican party." Duane Pomeroy, 19, a second district alternate from Tokea, said.
"Allowing young persons to participate should be done gradually when it is not that hot of an issue."
Only one of the seven young Kansans voiced disappointment that we were not more young people from the state who could carry a vote.
"The older people are saying, 'let's elect some young people to convention,' but they turn their attention to the business being delegates," said Carol Bell.
19, an alternate-at-large from Wichita.
Unofficial figures from the convention show two-thirds of all young people were alternates.
For the most part, the seven were "main line" Republicans who supported the party's platform and President Nixon's manner of handling the Inchiean armeny and Inachiean rights were the most controversial issues among the young delegates.
AS A RESULT, the young Kansans attending the convention became observers of the event and they appeared contented
"IT'S STILL NOT quite fair,
however, to say they will be free
just like that."
"I think the so-called draft dodger should be given amenity on the condition that they serve in the militarized non-military area." Harris said
Brain Harris, 21, an alternate-atlage from Haven, said he threatened to send his ancestry for both deserters and draft resisters of the Indochina

Both Bell and Susan Hattain, 21, a first district alternate from Chicago, led the platform's approval of federally funded day care centers. They said the centers were advocates of women's rights.
Headquarters Program Seeks New Volunteers
Headquarters, Inc., Lawrence's drug abuse and personal crisis center, is seeking community volunteers to participate in the member Training Program, which will begin the week of Sept. 14.
Students to Fill Traffic Booths
Headquarters at 841-2348. Interviews will take place until Sept. 8.
People driving along Jayhawk Boulevard this semester will probably notice new faces in the traffic control booths. New employees, both men and women are expected to familiar faces of members of Traffic and Security from 3 p.m. until 4:45 p.m.
The 40-hour training program will cover topics in the pharmacology and psychology of drug use, crisis theory, suicide defense techniques, telephone counseling. Techniques such as telephone role-playing will be used and are designed to give the new volunteer practical experience before he accepts full phone responsibility, Silber said.
After completion of the training program, volunteers will be working 10 hours per week on the problem or in other problem areas.
Headquarters was organized in 1960 to serve the high school and college students, and the volunteer staff consisted primarily of undergraduates, according to Sible. But since 1962, many age groups have been calling and visiting Headquarters for help, as well as to volunteer their ser
The two agreed with the platform's abortion stand, however.
"Abortion is wrong," Hattan said. "There are no two ways about it. We're talking about life to do with women's choice to do with women's choice."
Despite their limited access several young Kansas delegation members were able to participate in convention politics.
BILL DALLE, 24, of Parsons the only young voting delegate was assigned to the 108-member platform committee and successfully submitted a measure to world peace college to study peace.
Bell introduced a proposal on the convention Monday after a series of vetoedvention rules to govern the convention until the new rules
Bell said she had no idea why she was chosen to deliver the proposal.
Buses to Have Night Express, Same Prices
Enrollment fees have increased but it will still cost only 10 cents to ride the bus on campus or pick up lunch from schools, and 25 cents to do downtown.
A night campus express will be available for the first hour. 82. Duane Ogle, Lawrence Bus Company president, said, "The bus schedules the night buses, schedules will be the same as last year. Ogle said
Once Student Senate activities got into full swing, Ogle said, "I was surprised that complexes could possibly be added. This could be done only if the owners or managers had a plan for operating costs of the runs, he said. He said the Student Senate would pay the other half of the cost."
Ogle said the Student Senate contracts the buses for a flat fee per bus hour. The bus company credits any revenue from fares to the Senate's account. Expenses be paid by the Senate, he said.
With the fare only 10 cents, Ogle said, the Senate could afford to contract additional runs only if he could pay for a portion of the costs.
John House, Raytown, Mo., senior and chairman of Student Executive Committee, said a Campus Privilege Fee, paid by the Senate, would enable the Senate to cover the cost of this year's bus runs.

This summer the construction of Wescoe Hall, which is scheduled for completion in July 1975, has been mostly structural, according to Keith Lawton. The facilities, planning and operations.

THE FLOOR slab for the classroom wing of the building was poured this summer, Lawton said. Major work remaining includes pouring four concrete support columns and the top floor slab.
An obvious change in the appearance of Wescoe Hall was created by the recent addition of four new entry doors on outer walls. Lawton said he was optimistic that the building would be ready for occupancy by the estimated completion date but said that he could only speculate.

The building will contain approximately 50 classrooms rooms, and another 20 students, Lawton said. Also included will be two large lecture rooms and two multi-purpose rooms with a large seating capacity.
