Presidential Roundup
Nixon sees Humphrey-Wallace conspiracy
(UPI)-Hubert H. Humphrey got his first strong campaign boost from President Johnson Tuesday and told howling student protesters in Buffalo, N.Y., he would be a "free man" in seeking peace in Vietnam.
Richard Nixon, the Republican presidential candidate, suggested that Humphrey's southern campaign leaders may be secretly helping George C. Wallace to keep southern states out of the Nixon column and throw the election into the House of Representatives.
Wallace meanwhile accepted his nomination at a Texas state convention of the American Party of Texas and said he represents "the majority thinking of the people."
In his first public praise of Humphrey since routinely congratulating him on his nomination in Chicago last month, the President released a telegram he sent to Texas Democrats calling Humphrey "a fighter and a patriot." He urged the Texans to "win this one for America" by working for Humphrey's election.
"I'm a free man," Humphrey told student antiwar demonstrators during a question and answer session at Canisius College in Buffalo.
Win For America
"I will do whatever needs to be done," the vice president said, "but I want to make it clear I have no control over the events between now and January."
Nixon told a news conference at Anaheim, Calif., that it was "vitally important" to keep the presidential election out of the House. The constitution prescribes that if no candidate gets a majority of the electoral college vote, the House chooses the winner on the basis of a majority vote of the 50 state delegations.
Collusion Seen
Nixon spoke of "reports we get from the south now to the
effect that there may be some collusion developing between Democratic leaders in the south and Wallace supporters—for the purpose of supporting Wallace, not for the purpose of supporting Mr. Humphrey."
Wallace told an airport rally at Wichita Falls, Tex., that Tuesday night's Washington state convention of his third party would mark the 50th state in which he has met requirements to get on the ballot.
The Christian Science Monitor said Nixon already is seriously considering his cabinet choices.
The Monitor said Nixon's "early thinking" includes New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
for defense secretary; former Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton for Secretary of State; Michigan Gov. George Romney

for commerce secretary; Massachusetts Gov. John A. Volpe for secretary of labor or transportation, and perhaps Sen. Edward W. Brooke, R-Mass., for Attorney General.

Peoples Voice speaks
(Continued from page 1)
During the one and one-half hour meeting the only area of general agreement was the need to radicalize the student body.
The University is "oppressive, unjust and does not live up to its role as a
community of scholars," several members said. Students should be made to rebel against this situation, they agreed.
The group did agree with Stone when he called Voice members "God's chosen ones"—selected to radicalize KU.
Turn Away Cards indicate demand
Trying to determine which courses are most sought after by students, University administrators are using Turn Away Tally Cards to measure the demand.
The cards, which include the title of the desired course and the replacement course, were available at class-card tables during enrollment and may be picked up at admission and records windows three and four through Sept. 27.
Tom Tatlock, assistant director of admissions, called the cards a great step forward. "They will enable us to know what courses are in the greatest demand, so that steps can be taken to alleviate the problem," Tatlock said.
No definite plans will be made until the cards are turned in, he added.
Gene Haun, assistant registrar of the Colleges within a College, said nearly 1,000 cards have been turned in.
Agnew may stop at KU this fall
Spiro Agnew, Republican vice-presidential candidate, may speak at KU this fall. The Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR) announced last night.
Powell also announced that Rick Harman, Republican candidate for Governor, will attend the KU-Oklahoma State football game October 19, and will lead a parade through the campus.
After a CYE Executive Board meeting Tuesday evening, publicity vice-chairman Jim Powell said, "Mr. Agnew's appearance is fairly certain."
The CYR will hold a joint meeting with the Douglas County Republicans at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Pizza Hut number one. An organizational meeting will be held September 25 in the Kansas Union.
