Debates give 'views' of four candidates
Last night Republicans and Democrats tangled in debates on radio and in the Kansas Union.
At 6:30 p.m. Bob Dole and William I. Robinson, the Republican and Democratic candidates for Senator, clashed in a state wide radio debate.
One hour later, the University of Kansas Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR) and the Citizens for Humphrey organization disputed the statement, "Resolved; Hubert Humphrey should be elected president of the United States."
In the Dole-Robinson debate, draft problems and the farm subsidies proved to be the most controversial topics.
Dole advocated drafting younger men first because of their trainability and lack of dependents. He said Kansas has been "picked out" along with Hawaii for high enlistment quotas, and demanded lower draft quotas in compensation.
Robinson said "Local draft boards have too much power to interpret individual situations." He called for standardization of selective service rules across the country.
Robinson also advocated a lottery system to pick draftees saying, "I can't think of a better system."
At the KU debate in the Kansas Union Forum Room, CYR representatives charged Hubert Humphrey with repeatedly changing his political viewpoints.
Steve Haynes, Emporia junior said, "I can count at least four different stands Hubert Humphrey has made on Vietnam."
The Democratic opponents countered by condemning the Republican candidate for not debating Humphrey. Bob Ward, Cerrville first year law student said, "He had better not get up and debate Mr. Humphrey because his position is completely untenable."
The Democrats charged Nixon with not making his position clear on Vietnam. The CYR claimed Humphrey had "exploited the issue" in stating his position on the conflict.
In the Dole-Robinson debate, carried on 43 Kansas radio stations, Dole condemned Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman for allegedly "dumping" large quantities of wheat on the open market.
Robinson denied the accusation, saying, "There is not any dumping on the market now. There has never been any by Republicans or Democrats."
Debating at KU were Haynes and Phyllis Culham, Junction City junior, for CYR, and Ward and Phil Higdon, McPherson senior, for the Citizens for Humphrey.

Why does a perfect size 7 look perfect only21 days every month?
It has nothing to do with calories. It's a special female weight gain... caused by temporary water-weight build-up. Oh, you know... that uncomfortable full feeling that sneaks up on you the week before your menstrual period. This fluid retention not only plays havoc with your looks but how you feel as well. (It puts pressure on delicate nerves and tissues, which can lead to pre-menstrual cramps and headaches, leaves emotions on edge.)
That's why so many women take PAMPRIN $ ^{\circ} $ It gently relieves water-weight gain to help prevent pre-menstrual puffiness, tension, and pressure-caused cramps. PAMPRIN makes sure a perfect size 7 never looks less than perfect. Nor feels less than perfect, either.
the crowd admires the man with style!
