Political party demise bemoaned

KANSA CITY, Mo. -- An award-winning political writer for the Washington Post said yesterday that the demise of political leaders in Florida had come back to haunt many politicians.
The writer, David Broder, spoke at the meeting where, where he was a visiting scholar for that day.
Broder said that in the absence of political parties, politicians had no buffer between them and the state.
"BEFORE, THEERE were parties to bear the brunt of special interests," Broder said. "Instead, now we have a sort of naked political combat."
Before the '50s, Broder said, aspiring candidates would first seek out the acceptance of their party and would depend on the party to enhance their chances of success.
However, in the past two decades candidates have become increasingly independent and more likely to divide the multitude of special interests in the country also have abandoned the parties and have chosen to go after the politicians in a situation he described as "bad politics."
Broder said, and tried to get their programs accepted by party platform committees.
Special interest groups also worked through the party system before the '50s,
"NO LONGER do these extremely powerful groups support a candidate on the basis of his overall performance," Broder wrote. "He is expected either he voted or did not vote for their cause."
Broder, also a political columnist, has been given numerous awards for his political coverage. He characterized this victory as a lukewarm victory for the Republicans.
"For the Democrats, there is nothing in the returns that would cause them late night attacks."
Congress would be slightly more conservative than the previous one.
BRODER WAS reluctant to pick the most likely presidential candidates for 1980, saying only that any predictions this early probably would be wrong.
Broder said President Carter should be able to work with the 60th Congress more closely.
He did, however, say the combination of international affairs and domestic inflation has eroded.
"The one fatal blow to Carter's chances of re-election," Broder said, "would be the president's first major mistake."
He also challenged rumors of a run at the presidency by Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who has publicly said that rather see Carter return to health in the poll and be re-elected, and then Kennedy was elected.
He did not dismiss the possibility of Kaeil's running Carter's troubles in the position.
BRODER ALSO spoke briefly about former president Richardixon. He said he supported President Ford's pardon of Nixon and then rejected it, forgetting, Broder, expresed, disgusted.
Cato said that he had not yet tabulated the results of the poll but that he thought about 70 percent of the responses were in favor of moving the status.

In his speech, Harper criticized the University administration for what he called interference in student government decisions.
He said he was tired of hearing student government proposals refused by the administration because of lack of state funds.
"There are no such things as state funds," he said. "There are public monies."

HARPER CITED The university's decision not to fund women's athletics, the support minimum wages for students and the removal of KJKH, a student-operated radio station, from the Memorial Stadium as instances of University interference.
Eight groups submitted scripts to Rock Chalk producers and were judged by six anonymous judges. The judges are affiliated with the theater and English departments and did not know which group submitted each script.
The Rock Chalk production staff yested the group's groups that will work in the 1979 Rock Chalk
"When the taxpayers in California decided to stop paying taxes, that was the end of it," Harper said. "When students decide to stop paying taxes in the form of a women's athletic fee, that's the end of it until the University decides otherwise."
The groups selected are Pi Beta Phi and Beta Theta Phi, Delta Upsilon and Chi Omega, Delta Gamma and Alpha Kappa Delta Delta Delta Delta and Phi Gamma Delta.
Parole awarded after six days
A 20-year-old Lawrence man, convicted last week on a misdemeanor traffic charge, was paroled yesterday after serving six days of a 30-day sentence.
The man, Steven V. Brown, 20, of 827 Walnut St., was charged with failing to exercise due caution to avoid a collision with a pedestrian, stemming from an accident April 20 in which a Lawrence police officer was struck by Brown's car.
Brown had pleaded no contest to in Douglas County District Court.
The police officer, Lloyd B. Jones, 42, of 1544 Delaware St., was directing traffic in the 1800 block of Massachusetts when he was struck by Brown's car. Jones were hospitalized for several weeks and were a medical retirement from the police department.
Douglas County District Judge Ralph King Jr, who granted Brown's release, said the parole would be to have him next six months. Brown would then have to complete his jail term.

"The University feels it should determine student wages even though that amount was not given."
"KJHK was removed from the press box because it didn't pay broadcast fees, but students paid the multi-million dollar cost to the stadium, which included the press box.
"I CAUTION against the interference in the autonomy of student government," he said.
Harper said he demanded that the administration respect student government

"We need to look not just at the bus problems with transportation and other problems with transportation for the handicapped and other problems that might arise. One person was not able to do
THE ASK resolution recommends that students be required to pay a telephone installation fee only once during a four-year period and that no directory assistance charges be assessed for a 90-day period after new connections are made.
Gary Kessler, law school senator, said he thought current charges were inequitable because of "the high degree of transience in University communities."
