purpose, it has to be the vehicle for change." he said. "It must justify its existence by being able to gain the confidence of the people that it can control the government.
"PEOPLE DON'T THINK the two major political parties have that kind of control, or that their vote makes any difference in the political system."
Anderson said parties should be able to fulfill three criteria.
"They should have an identifiable public philosophy, something people can grasp," he said. "They should also be a mediating link between the people and the government."
Finally, they should provide check-rein on the power of money to corrupt the political power.
The government is run today by the people who can afford to spend money to get what they want. Anderson said. He said special
interest groups controlled the legislative process more than political parties.
"TO AN UNWARRANTED degree," he said. "the legislative agenda are being set by a few people who can pour money into political campaigns."
Anderson also spoke about the role of the media in presidential campaigns.
"Thanks to the media, issues have become quite irrelevant in today's campaigns." Anderson said. "It's not what you say, but how you say it that counts.
"The one-liner is the only thing reported, not the paragraphs it takes to give a detailed proposal on an issue."
Anderson said this was a trend that should be stopped.
Campaign
"There will have to be a voluntary effort to raise the standards for the media," Anderson said. "The stakes are too high to risk the future. We must do a better job in judging the qualities of our leaders."
because they were out of step with the people
Mondale's running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, said at Apple Computer headquarters in San Jose, Calif., that Reagan was allowing Japanese trade to hurt the U.S. computer industry and told factory workers there that they faced the same dangers as workers in the older "smokestack" industries, such as the steel industry.
Ferraro wound up a West Cost swing while Mondale worked for votes in the industrial Midwest.
MONDALE, CAMPAIGNING YESTERDAY IN Toledo, Ohio, and predicting victory despite his showing in the polls, criticized Reagan for believing the nation's social programs led America "down the road to dictatorship."
Mondale was buoyed by large and enthusiastic crowds that jammed a Toledo shopping mall in the afternoon. Earlier yesterday
Mondale spoke to a large crowd at a mall in Cleveland.
"The victory march begins right here in Montclair," mendale said. "I can feel it. We're going to win."
"Pollsters and pundits are telling you it's all over, your vote doesn't count; forget it, stay home. Well, the public opinion polls don't vote, the people vote."
"They say it's over. I believe they're making a big mistake. When the people see the issues, the people vote the way they want — and the people want a change."
WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN Milwaukee.
Mondale told reporters, "As you know, these polls have been all over the map, up and down, sideways. So I am announcing a new plan tonight. I'm not going to comment on any polls between now and the election."
Mondale said Reagan thought that "whenever we have a program that helps the people, we're down the road to dictatorship."

department of mechanical engineering, said the intent of the policy was good.
"All of them would easily pass the English speaking level." he said.
The department has nine graduate teaching assistants who have not met the requirements of Cagle University.
Some students said they thought the policy would benefit them.
Bill Skeet, a Lawrence sophomore who is taking an economics course taught by a foreign teaching assistant, said the requirements are because some TAs were hard to understand.
Ron Harding, Topeka senior, said he dropped a calculus class his sophomore year because he couldn't understand the teaching assistant.
"But things seem to have improved since then," he said.
