Candidates debate
Continued from page 1
Continued from page 1 pressed by the governor's record and said that the poor showing of this administration is one of the foremost issues of the campaign.
"He should be running on what he has done, not what he will do," Harman said of Docking.
In Harman's opinion the most important issue of the campaign is property tax. He said Docking has not provided relief for the property owners of the state. He said Kansas property taxes are 20 per cent over the national average.
Docking countered that he has appointed a committee to find ways of halting the rising property taxes. He said that he has been concerned with the situation for some time, but did not wish to act rashly.
In this same vein, Docking lashed out at Republican legislators who sent an $11.5 Million aid to education bill to his office. He termed the bill a partisan gag developed to embarrass his administration. The bill was "financially irresponsible," he said, because it contained no provision for raising the money.
Docking claimed a Republican legislator was heard to say in the state house, "Let's send this bill down to the little man in the Governor's office and see what he does with it."
"Well, this little man vetooed it and I make no apologies," said Docking.
Harman declared he was in favor of raising what he termed "sin taxes" on beer, cigarettes and liquor. He said that the voters should decide whether liquor should be sold by the drink. He said the present laws are so inadequate, they are a farce.
Internat'l club changes image
The KU International Club is trying to change its image, said Zuhair Duhaiby, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior and the president of the club.
"American students at large have the idea that the International Club is only for foreign students," Duhaiby said. "We are trying this year to change the image. We want to draw more American student memberships to make the club truly international."
"We need people to join the club and sign for committees to share some of the responsibilities we bear," he said.
He said that in the past only members have been informed about the programs and functions of the club. The executive committee of the current year feels that new ideas and methods of implementation are needed.
Grad school discussed
Any senior interested in graduate school or job opportunities is urged to attend an open meeting at 4 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the first half of the meeting would be a discussion about general job availabilities and government opportunities.
The second part of the meeting will be information about graduate schools, procedures for completing applications and information about the Graduate Record Examination.
HOMECOMING SUPPLIES
"Liquor-by-the-drink should either be open and above board or it should not exist at all. Right now we are hiding behind the blind of 'private clubs,' said Harman.
Docking agreed that a vote was the only solution to the problem, but stated that the increased revenue from a tax on this item would not be a financial panacea.
- Lumber and Plywood cut to order
Harman said education is the key to the future of this state and if elected, he will try to change the attitudes of student protesters so they can contribute to the society instead of detracting from it. Harman's remarks in this area reflect a national concern over student protest, but he did not explain how he would go about changing the attitudes of the protesters.

Docking attacked the newspaper editors themselves for the partisanship of their papers. He said he had come to expect this partisanship, and unfortunately so had the people of Kansas. Docking called for the editors to follow in the path of William Allen White, who fought irresponsible government and reckless economic moves. He then cited the example of the $11.5 million aid to education bill.
Both candidates agreed that the highways of the state are in need of repair, but neither was prepared to comment on how to finance the project suitably.

Republicans to take Kansas
Although Richard Nixon was picked as the front runner in the Presidential race by most editors, two of the three Kansas City area editors responding said Wallace would run strongly there.
One editor said he felt Wallace would carry Wyandotte County. "Wallace is getting many laborer Democrat votes," he said.
The editor of a Johnson County weekly with a circulation of 40,000 said a straw vote taken by his paper indicates a Nixon victory, but Wallace was the number two candidate.
Wyandotte and Johnson are two of the four largest counties in the state.
One southeast Kansas editor said Wallace was running well with the blue collar workers there and will probably run second to Nixon.
"Many people in our area are supporting Wallace, which scares our staff," a Butler County weekly editor said.
Most editors, however, said Nixon would carry the areas
Docking was picked as the winner by more editors than any other Democratic candidate. He was also the most popular Democrat with them.
In the contest for governor, most editors predict a Harman victory, although many said the race will be close.
easily. Only two predict a Humphrey win. Only seven support him.
Editors predicting a Docking victory were all from the eastern portion of the state. All of the editors from the central and western areas of Kansas either predicted a Harman win or made no prediction at all.
Several editors declined to call the Harman-Docking race at all, saying they could not see a winner yet.
A Kansas City editor predicted a Harman win in Johnson county by a three-to-one margin, but picked Docking in predominantly Democratic Wyandotte County. Topeka, Wichita, and Hutchinson editors all agreed on Harman.

Bearded student leaves West Hills
"Wilbur made a big point of telling me that I didn't have such a bad beard after all, and that I was really kind of a nice guy," Parker said.
Parker feels only a little disgust toward Almquist, but he thinks you can't just "go around changing people's opinions."
"You've got to realize there are racists, bigots and narrow-minded people in the world. You've just got to accept them," Parker said.
"My mother said you judge a person by his character, not by his face." Parker said.
The story about the West Hills "beards" has been in the Kansas City Star, Rochester Chronicle and New York Times, as well as the University Daily Kansan.
"I don't think Wilbur's boss has enjoyed all the publicity, and I know Wilbor hasn't," Parker said.
One thing that does puzzle Parker is that Almquist should be so concerned about his beard when his parents have raised no objections.
Parker has even received an anonymous letter which read: "Dirty New Yorker, go home and take that . . . Robert Menadier, with you! Kansas doesn't want you!"
The past few weeks, Parker said he has treated everything lightly and with a sense of humor.
Dutchmen Love to Fish
THE HAGUE (UPI)-Dutch agriculture and fisheries officials told parliament recently that 1967 Holland had 564,000 licensed sport fishermen, with their number expected to top 600,000 by the end of this year.
His roommate, Messman, has drafted a letter to the Kansas Civil Rights Commission in Topeka. Parker said he doesn't know whether or not they'll send it.
When asked if he'll ever shave his beard, Parker said, "Yeah, I'm sure I'll shave it someday. I may even plan a demonstration to show Wilbur."
Sen. Frank Carlson, Republican Robert Dole was given a substantial lead.
None of the papers represented endorsed Dole's opponent, Democrat William I. Robinson. Most of those picking Dole also said he was their personal preference.
Robinson victories were predicted only in Atchison and Kansas City.
Republican Congressional candidates were picked to win in all five Kansas districts.
Editors from Wichita and Kansas City, however, predict Democratic candidates will carry their areas.
Almost 80 per cent of the editors polled picked Republicans to win State Legislature races in their areas.
Editors' political preferences seemed to have little effect on their predictions. Democratic editors were split about 50-50 as to whether or not Democrats would win, while most Republican editors picked Republican winners.
