serious than those of the past, but were often
collected in milder weather.
"In the first debate, Mondale basically called Reagan a liar, but he didn't use that word," she said. "In essence, he blunted the charge."
Earl A. Nehring, professor of political science, said he saw an inherent difference between the sometimes dirty campaigning of the 19th century and campaigns of today.
"From what I can see, the campaigns of the last century were more muddling, more partisan and more vicious," he said, with more personal attacks on the candidates."
The 1884 election was characterized by the opposing sides' efforts to exploit the scandal surrounding both candidates. Republicans spread the news about the illegitimate child whom Cleveland had fathered, while Democrats took advantage of a railroad scheme Blaine had been mixed up in during the 1870's to call him corrupter and unfit for public office.
FOR INSTANCE. THERE were the names given to Cleveland, then governor of New York, after his affair with a widow from Jersey, was widely publicized during the campaign.
Opposition newspapers such as the New York Sun and the New York Tribune labeled
Cleveland a "gress and licentious man," "a moral leper" and "a man stained with disusting infanty."
On the opposite side, Democrats invented a chant in which they referred to Blaine as the "Continental liar" because of his crooked business dealings a decade earlier.
Nebring said personal attacks like the one against Cleveland weren't used very often.
"Back then, there seemed to be a no-holds-barred attitude," he said. "Campaigns in the 20th century don't do it this way. At least, they do in a slicker way."
But Calder Pickett, professor of journalism and an authority on American history as reported by the American press, said he was struck by the lack of the low tactics of the cast and those of today.
"WE'VE HAD SOME mighty scurruillous campaigns recently," he said.
Gold said candidates still were using personal insult, sometimes in overt waff.
"There was the remark by Reagan about Mondale having so much makeup on during the first debate," she said. "That's a pretty low blow. And there's Reagan saying he was willing to arm wrestle with Mondale, and Mondale answering he didn't want to arm wrestle, he wanted to brain wrestle."
THE FIVE OTHER finalists were Richard Branham, professor of design; Gerhard Zuber, professor of English; Don W. Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering; Linda McClain, instructor in occupational therapy; and Frank S. Pinet, distinguished professor of business.

"I SAW JOURNALISM as a way to get the truth out about public policy and the operations of government," he said. "I felt that voters would appreciate the effort of the journalist to bring them information

they could use."
But journalism can be an important part of the democratic process only if the reporter is careful, he said.
“If a news report is not correct,” he said, “if it is incomplete or if it is late, people will not will believe it or find it helpful in deciding whom to elect in public office or in evaluating government policy.”
After finishing journalism school, Kaush covered county government for the newspaper in Iowa City, Iowa.

John Stewart, San Jose, Calif., freshman and defensive guard, said, "Coach Gottried was looking for ways to keep us loose. That's how he relaxed and I felt like it was a good move."
ROBERT TUCKER, LOS Angeles junior and defensive tackle, said, "That helped a lot because we came out warm and ready to go."
