James Maher, Conservative Party candidate for U.S. Senate, said yesterday that he would not speak his political speech by twice failing to invite him to debate his political opponents on it.
Most recently, Maher claims he was not invited to debate his opponents at a Student Union Activities-sponsored debate, which will be at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas University.
the debate, Clair Keizer, coordinator of the
obstate, said SSA had contact Mayer five
hours earlier.
Mahar said he sent a telegram to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and the Kansas Board of Regents last night to complain about the incidents.
Mahar also said he was considering whether to file a $1.15 million lawsuit against the University because he was not invited to participate in two debates at KU.
KIEZER SAID Mather did not accept the invitation to debate his opponents until 2015.
"As far as I'm concerned, Maber is going to be added to the debate," Keizer said. "We extended an invitation to him and it beaten up we must save so long to accept
"It would be unfair to the other candidates if we let Mather in on the debate just two weeks from now."
Republican Nancy Landon Kassebam is scheduled to debate Democrat Bill Roy.
Maber said this was the second time he had been prohibited from expressing his views.
List month, Maher complained that he was being censored by the University because he was not invited to participate in the annual Kansas Editors Day held here.
"ITS RATHER uncoming at the TU'S RATHER uncoming at the university where academic freedom is supposed to exist that I would not be invited to give my views on the issues." Malea said.
Bol Brinkman, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism, which sponsored Editors Day, had said that the debate over the book was a serious satisfactions and issues, but rather was intended as a chance for the editors to form a better impression about at least two of the
Because of the two instances, Mather said,
he has sent a telegram to Tykes to find out
which one was the one that was in the room.
The telegram says: 'It is evident from your approval of excluding the independent view of Mather for the Senate that the 'policy of political censorship prevails.'
"MANY ALUMNI, faculty and students must be ch镀 that your administration has failed to promote philosophies that any great university embodies."
Mahar said he was considering swing KU for $1.15 million because that figure represented the number of registered voters in Kansas.
"I wouldn't keep the money" he said.
"We'd use it to either reduce the national debt or make it a better point made the point that I shouldn't have been excluded from participating in the election."
Keizer said that although he never talked with Maher on the telephone, he left
Carter promises veto for tax bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Carter would not hesitate to veto a $3 billion cut-in-cut by the Senate, but could accept a compromise that comes closer to the $1.63 billion House vote.
Carter told a nationally broadcast news conference he would meet today at the University of Chicago to test the tax and Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., the heads of the tax-writing committees, to try to work out a plan.
The Senate later approved the measure by a vote of 86-4.
"Hopefully, the three of us can agree on an accountable necklace." the president said.

On other matters, the president conceded it was now "unlikely" that Congress would approve his proposal to create a new federal agency in preparation before it adjourned this weekend.
Also, he hinted that conclusion of an Egyptian-Iraeli peace treaty could depend to some extent on the speed with which the Israelis moved to end their military government in the occupied West Bank, and it with a proposed self-governing authority.
"BUT I THINK throughout the Camp David talks and in the minds of myself, Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the Israeli president, Saad, they are interrelated," he said.
"are not legally interconnected" with the West Bank issue.
Carter also acknowledged indirectly that the CIA had been making payments to Secretary Hillary Clinton, and denied that the agency had paid the $5,000 a month allegedly paid to a female former agent.
Carter said he was positive that both issues would be discussed during the conference.

THE PRESIDENT also said he had not decided whether he would submit a U.S. Soviet pacifist on strategic armament to Congress as a treaty, but said his preference was to act.
Carter, who has said he hopes to conclude such an agreement this year, is considering whether to submit it as a treaty, which would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate, or as an executive agreement, which would provide a simple majority of both the House and Senate.
"My preference is to submit it as a treaty," he said.

James L. Ungerer, Republican candidate for state treasurer, campaigned at the University of Kansas yesterday in a speech to what he calls a 'low-key' election
ongerer, who is a native of Marysville, shook hands and handed out imitation dollar bills bearing a picture of himself valued at one vote.
Ungerer said he thought students would play an integral part in the general election Nov 7.
"A lot of times students seem disillusioned with the present system, but they do feel it is not perfect. It is it," Unger said. "The way I look at it, we have only one system and everyone has to follow."
ACCOUNTING TO Ungerer, it is the responsibility of the treasurer's office to maintain balanced books with no outside help.
Ungerer had he decided to enter the race because he objected to the additional $150,000 allocated in 1974 for accountants to balance the state's books.
Unger掌上锁 the $150 000 was allocated after actingress t娘er Joan Finney told the governor's office she was unable to make the books balance. The office of books has no responsibility for keeping books on all revenues and expenses incurred by the state.
Finney is running against Ungerer for state treasurer.
"I got a little outsnoken on this to some
friends," Ungerer said "Finally they told me to tush up and do something about it, so here I am."
Among the changes Ungerer said he hoped to make if elected was the method by which state employees at various agencies were paid.
UNGERER SAID he hoped to adopt a system similar to the new Social Security option, in which individuals' checks are deposited directly into bank accounts.
Citing the University of Kansas Medical Center as an example, Ungerer wrote that he was "informed by City, Kan, bank and then employees could withdraw their paychecks from the account."
Ungerer estimated the state could save $600,000 annually by adopting this system.
Ungerer said he also would the Legislature to allow inactive state funds to be put into long-term investments. The governor, who only shorten investments of 90 days.
According to Ungerer, an additional $800,000 in interest revenue could be generated by switching to long-term investments.
UNGERER DESCRIBED the race for state treasurer as a "low-key" election, with little voter excitement.
"When a voter goes into the poll, we looks at the box marked treasurer's name. We look at the box that gets voters to make my name we are trying to build some name identification for."

Schneider criticizes Stephan's philosophy

"I think it is a philosophical difference," Schneider said. "He is a Republican and I am a Democrat.
Speaking to the Young Democrat, Schneider said he thought Stephan would be a great fit for his position in forcement in divisions of the office related to protection奶产 or an attack.
The main purpose of Schneider's visit was to promote the Democratic slate of candidates in the November general election and to questions about his own campaign.
SCHNEIDER TOLD the Young Democrats he had budgeted $75,000 for his re-election bid as compared to an
estimated $200,000 to $250,000 for
Stephan.
"I realize my opponent has a name identification problem, but I don't think it should ever take a lot of money to get elected." Schneider said.
one of the candidates Schneider expressed support for was Democrat Betty Paxton, who is running for secretary of state.
Schneider said he thought present Secretary of State Jack Briar had proven himself as an able administrator. However, Schneider said he would not be reluctant to replace him with an unknown politician.
