Sen. Hiram L. Fong
Sen. Hiram L. Fong (R-Hawaii) campaigned here yesterday in behalf of the Republican party.
Senator Fong Here for GOP
Sen. Fong is the first man of Oriental descent to be elected to the U.S. Senate. He has served as the senior senator from Hawaii since that state was admitted to the Union. Before he became a U.S. Senator, he was a member of the Hawaii Legislature.
Sen. Fong said in a speech in the Kansas Union:
"THE VICE PRESIDENT asked me about my campaign techniques. I explained that in Honolulu we divided the population into occupational groups and got party workers in each group to canvas the voters. The undecided voter received a letter from me and we changed many votes with this technique. It flatters a man's ego for the candidate to express a personal interest in him."
Mr. Nixon asked Sen. Fong to make a personal appearance tour in six of the critical states on the mainland and use this method to help in the presidential campaign. He spoke not only for the Nixon-Lodge ticket but also for the other Republican candidates for office in the state.
"IN KANASS I am helping Andrew Schoeppel in his bid for relection to the senate," Sen. Fong said. "Mr. Schoeppel has something
which is very important in the Senate. This is seniority. Senators with seniority get the best committee appointments. Sen. Schoepel is a conscientious worker for the people of Kansas as well as for all the United States."
The issues in any campaign can be divided into four groups, Sen. Fong said. These are domestic, foreign, military and personality of the candidate, and each of these must be examined carefully by a prospective voter, he added.
"A CANDIDATE'S stand on domestic issues must be viewed from every possible aspect," Sen. Fong said. "Each voter should consider what the candidate intends to do for everybody and not just for himself. Never in the history of mankind have the American people enjoyed such prosperity. Europe and the Orient look to us as the deliverers of their nations. The Eisenhower-Nixon policies have been the best that our nation has ever had.
"Our military posture is second to none in the world and should be kept this way." Sen. Fong said. "The Democrats will try to say that the Republicans have cut the military budget by $4 billion but since they were in control of the Congress all of the appropriations have been their doing."

Docking-Anderson Keep Battle Going
Gov. George Docking and Atty. Gen. John Anderson Jr., rivalcandidates for governor of Kansas, have expressed confidence in the chances for their respective parties on election day.
By United Press International
Docking said he believes Sen. John F. Kennedy and the Demo cratic Party will carry the state.
Although he did not mention Democrat Frank Theis by name, Schoeppel said his opponent had never given any of his time to appear in Washington before the Budget Bureau or the Appropriations Com-
SEN. ANDREW F. SCHOEPPEL (R-Kan) last night ridiculed his Democratic opponent as a "Johnnycome-lately" in the field of water resources development.
The Kansas governor said he thought Kennedy's appearances in Wichita and Kansas City Saturday helped his chances and added that he did not believe Vice President Richard M. Nixon could draw the crowd Kennedy did at Wichita.
Anderson said he understood there was nothing illegal about giving away pamphlets. He said he thought they were distributed free of charge to all congressmen and that the congressmen probably could do as they pleased with them.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Tuesday, Oct. 25, 1960
ATTY. GEN. JOHN ANDERSON JR., says he is investigating a charge by Marshall G. Gardiner, Democratic nominee for First District Congressman, that U.S. Rep. William H. Avery has violated state election laws by giving away government pamphlets.
Anderson said there was no question that Nixon could carry Kansas, and added that he thought he would win the governor's race.

Vox, UP Slams Continue UP 'Rehashes' ASC, Vox, UP Heads Vox Platform To Debate Thursday
The president of Vox Populi said last night that three-fourths of the University Party's platform is a rehash of what Vox has done in the past.
"Several of the planks that the UP is claiming are actually Vox planks which are presently being acted on by the Student Council," commented Jack Roberts, Kansas City junior and president of Vox, in a Daily Kansan interview last night.
THE VOX PLATFORM which will be released tonight at a General Assembly meeting in the Kansas Union will "differ extensively from the UP platform." Roberts said.
Roberts indicated the following examples of the similarity that exist between the newly released UP platform and past platforms issued by Vox.
"Vox also instituted a stop day last spring so that students may have a day between the last day of classes and the first day of finals," the Vox president said in answer to plank number five of the UP platform.
Pointing to the first plank of the UP platform which advocated continued membership and cooperation with NSA, Roberts said:
Referring to the third plank of the UP platform dealing with investigation of Kansas Union prices, Roberts said Union prices were examined two years ago by Vox. Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union explained the price policy of the cafeteria and bookstore to the satisfaction of the investigating committee at that time.
"KU IS NOW a member of NSA and we said nothing to the effect that we want to disassociate ourselves from its program."
"LAST SPRING we set up a system to investigate the disciplinary situation and that committee is still functioning.
Striking at plank number four entitled University Rules and Discipline, Roberts said:
Roberts said that he did not wish to pursue the topic in any further detail until the release of the new Vox Popli platform.
His business name is De La Garcia. He uses various first names; on our campus he used Carlos. He is a short well dressed man who preys on foreign students. He sold tickets to three KU students after a successful bit of selling on the Manhattan Campus.
Bogus Tickets Hit Campus
G. Mennen Williams, Democratic governor of Michigan, will speak at 1 p.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. Gov. Williams is speaking throughout the west for the Democratic Party on "Strategy for Peace." His speech at KU is being sponsored by the Young Democrats.
Beware of bogus banquet tickets! This campus along with others throughout the country has been hit by Mr. Garcia, a Spanish gentleman who has been peddling tickets to a non-existent banquet.
Evidently his activities are widespread. The National Assn. of Foreign Students sent a memo to all the universities and colleges in this area.
Michigan Governor To Speak Thursday
The heads of the two campus political parties and the president of the ASC will meet face to face for the first time this year as they debate for the freshman vote at 6:45 p.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The debaters will be Ronald K. Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior and president of the ASC; Jack L. Roberts, Kansas City junior and president of Vox Populi, and Paul P. Caciopio, Overland Park senior and Greek co-chairman of the University Party.
Each speaker will have 15 minutes to present his opening argument. Then the meeting will be thrown open to questions from the floor.
Dalby will be the first speaker
and will explain the organization of student government.
Then a coin will be tossed to determine whether the Vox or UP president will be next to speak.
John Peters, Baxter Springs freshman and member of the freshman planning committee that organized the debates, explained that the purpose of the discussion is "to acquaint freshmen with the political parties and campus government.
He said the speakers should point out differences between the two parties so that freshmen will have an intelligent insight into campus politics rather than just an exposure to its social aspects.
Arrangements for the debates were made by the KU-Y in conjunction with the Freshman planning committee.
Request In Order For Street Lighting
On the evening of Oct. 18, two Corbin freshman women were molested on Louisiana Street between 11th and 12th Streets by a bluejeaned clad assailant.
Police records show that 12 cases of reported molestings, one disorderly conduct, and four miscellaneous complaints were filed by KU women who were in some way molested in the darkened vicinity of
Kennedy - Nixon Make Charges
WASHINGTON —(UPI) The presidential campaign, entering the final two weeks, was marked today by blunter words and angrier charges as the candidates stumped long hours for the support of crucial states.
Democratic nominee John F. Kennedy scheduled 20 speeches during his second grueling day in Illinois. State Democratic leaders were enthusiastic about his showing yesterday. Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill) predicted Kennedy would capture the state's 27 electoral votes.
GOP CANDIDATE Richard M. Nixon, making a whistle-stop tour in a 16-car train, arranged appearances in Ohio, which has an important bloc of 25 electoral votes, and in West Virginia. He makes his first nationwide paid political TV speech of the campaign tonight from Cincinnati.
The White House rivals traded some of the sharpest accusations of the campaign in their speeches yesterday.
Nixon told a Pittsburgh audience that Kennedy's spending plans were a "major contributing factor" to the current gold speculation in London. He suggested Kennedy's election could touch off a run on America's shrinking gold stocks.
KENNEDY SHRUGGED this off. He said Nixon was showing "signs of tension" by making the charge. A Rock Island, Ill., audience laughed when the Massachusetts Senator declared, "He blames me for the increase in gold on the London market. If Mr Nixon is listening, I didn't do it."
Louisiana Street within the past three years.
HAROLD HORN, Lawrence city manager, said today that no complaints or requests for lighting have been filed with him for the Louisiana Street or Oread Street vicinity.
He said that the city would cooperate with the University if a request for more lighting was received.
"A request may be made by the University, the dormitory, students or interested individuals and we would be happy to investigate their complaints. If justification for additional lighting exists we will turn the request over to the Kansas Power and Light company." he said.
Keith Lawton, director of plant operations, said that the city has always been cooperative in the installation of lighting where needed.
Mr. Lawton said that the question of lighting in the area of 11th through 13th Street and Louisiana Street was a legitimate question and he would investigate it in the near future.
Joe G. Skillman, chief of campus police, said today that the street lighting is not the only factor responsible for the molestings. There are many bushes along the street and houses are set far back from the street.
Chief Skillman pointed out that according to his records, one-third of the reported molesting occurred during the daylight hours.
Chief Skillman reported that the area leading to the woman's dorms are regularly patrolled by both campus and city police.
