Election to Be Tossup in West
Page 5
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — In western states it's a brave political pundit who tries to pick a winner in the Nov. 8 presidential election.
A Democratic trend has been gathering momentum in most of the region since 1952 - yet President Eisenhower carried all six far west states in 1952 and 1956.
- Likewise in California, with Democrats holding a 3-2 registration edge. Republicans point with pride to Earl Warren's three consecutive gubernatorial victories in the 1940s, Goodwin J. Knight's election as governor in 1954 and Eisenhower's twin victories there.
- There have been other maverick leanings:
- In Arizona Democrats outnumber Republicans $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 1, yet it has twice elected Barry Goldwater, one of the most conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate.
- Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy are lying for 64 electoral votes (269 needed to elect) in the eight far western states, including Alaska and Hawaii.
- In Washington State, both U.S. senators, the governor, lieutenant governor and state legislature are Democratic; yet in 1958 six of the state's seven congressmen elected were Republicans.
Of these eight, the juiciest plum is California with 32 votes. Both candidates have lingered long in the Golden State and plan to return before the election. But neither can be said to have the edge.
Republican forces claim California is not partisan-minded, pointing to Eisenhower, Warren and Knight. "I don't think registration figures provide an accurate key," said Sen Thomas H. Kuchel, R-Calif.
In Arizona, perhaps the most conservative of the far west states. Nixon is rated a slight favorite despite the Democrats' registered voter bulge.
In Washington State neither side is going very far out on a limb to claim victory.
Oregon (6 votes) also is generally pegged as a tossup, with probably the busiest campaigner being a man who isn't running for anything — Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield.
In Nevada. Democrats enjoy a 2-1 voter lead, but they by no means are
Policeman Traces Stray Moose Head
University Daily Kansan
MUSKEGON, MICH — (UPI) Police Sgt. Royden Paul is a tracker of sorts.
In his latest case, Paul tracked a missing moose from a downtown restaurant to a Grand Haven, Mich., taxidermist. To be more correct, it was a moose head.
The head was stolen from Malcolm Hoos. Paul traced it to a secondhand store where two youths had been given $5 for it.
Then the trail led to a restaurant, and from the restaurant to the taxidermist where it was being refurbished.
Word leaked out that Paul was looking for the moose head. During his search wags offered him the use of a 30-30 rifle.
claiming victory. Like its southern neighbor Arizona, Nevada has a strong conservative outlook.
Idaho is another state where the Kennedy-Nixon outcome is hard to predict. With four electoral votes, Idaho went Republican until 1958 when Democrats captured all major posts except the governorship and one of two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Alaska traditionally has been counted in the Democratic camp, and no reversal of trend is seen in this election. Kennedy's promise to develop the state's natural resources and his visit to Alaska — while Nixon has announced no plans to go there — carried a lot of weight with Alaskans.
Alaska and Hawaii will cast their first electoral votes — three each — since being admitted to the Union as the 49th and 50th states.
Hawaii, like other far west states is a paradox. Last year it elected a Republican governor by 4,000 votes over popular ex-delegate Jack Burns; swept Democrat Dan Inouye into congress by 50,000 votes, and split the U.S. senate seats between a Republican and a Democrat.
Tensions, worries, anxieties and lack of social life present during mid-term week resulted in wet pants for several men from Templin Hall.
Templin Hall Men Dunked in Fountain
The first victim was transported to the Chi Omega fountain by fellow students from the dormitory and thrown into the water. He was then taken back to the dormitory in the trunk of a car.
A sarcastic onlooker was the next victim of the relaxation seekers when he commented, "It would take more than you guys to soak me."
By this time the campus-style "lychers" had merged into an organized and efficient group. Indications were that more than dousings would occur throughout the evening.
Architecture Enrolls 285
The students enrolled in the department of architecture this semester, said George M. Beal, professor of architecture and department chairman, number 285.
The department, 12th largest in the nation, has 22 full-time professors.
