Mondale shudded back. "Let's run that crowd out of the White House and get someone in there who knows what he's doing." Mondale told the farmers he "fought all over the White House" as vice president to try to convince President Carter not to impose a grain embargo on the Soviet Union following its invasion of Afghanistan, but lost the battle. "You've heard my program, you've heard what I said, just another politician who asked just Monday. Mondale asks." "If rural America rises up and elects me and throws Mr. Reagan开, the message will be out there: don't mess with farmers, they're dangerous." he said HE RECALLED THAT 1948 was the first presidential campaign he worked on and said he traveled on Truman's campaign trail across the Midwest. "Quietly, by the thousands and then by the Vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro was also campaigning yesterday, trying to pick up support among voters in California. She and Mondale consider the state, with its 47 electoral votes, crucial to win. The Republican election. The latest statewide polls show them 9 points behind the Reagan-Bush ticket. millions, rural Americans with dignity went to the polls and they voted old Harry back in." Mondale said. "I ask you to use these days now to think it through, see what you've seen, ask who you trust and then by the hundreds, then by the thousands, then by the millions, walk into that voting booth and take control of your government again." Nitcher VICE PRESIDENT GEORGE Bush yesterday found himself defending his remark that he "tried to kick a little ass" during the Oct. 11 vice presidential debate. Bush said his remark was not demeaning to Ferraro. continued from p. 1 business and financial affairs in 1969. Five years later, Chancellor Archie Dykes appointed him to his present position. "This is a shirt-sleeve-type job," he said. "I push a lot of paper." Ruth Reese, an accountant in the controller's office, was hired by Nitcher in 1962, when the office had about 15 employees. It now has more than 60. REEESE SAI NITCHER was a friendly man who was good at telling jokes and lifting "I don't think it would make any difference how many people there were (in the office), she said. "That's just his make-up." Reese also said that Nitcher liked country music — something he confirmed. "I like the really old ones, the good fiddle tunes," he said. "I think it's just maybe a way to get my mind off of what happens at the office." Nither is also proud of his Kansas roots — he is most of his life with 50 miles of leisure. Nichols said those roots were an asset. "His life has the flavor of the Midwest," he said. "He's very strong." that taking them away wouldn't eliminate the problem. "The faculty is concerned because in academic situations such as this, where people are supposed to be more educated, such as the ones displayed are disturbing." Petition continued from p.1 Lichtward said that she had not been collecting signatures but that she had handed out copies of the petition to people who were interested in gathering names. Karlyn Kohs Campbeil, chairman of interdisciplinary studies, said she signed the petition because she wanted to protect groups of all minority groups on campus. "I don't want to be put in a position to vote on whether we need groups with a strong voice." A petition now being circulated on campus by Tom Crisp, Lawrence graduate student and student body presidential candidate for the Navy Jack Coalition, calls for a campus election that could be selected by popular vote" of GLOSK CRISP SMID HE did not think the faculty's petition would endanger his petition. "My petition is simply a poll of students' views of the group," Crisp said. "My complaint with the group is that it is concomitant practices which may be unethical." "I am in support of minority rights. There are plenty of campuses that don't have GLOSK organizations, and they aren't violating any civil rights." practice areas but also would ease the overuse of Allen Field House. NEXT WEEK THE men's and women's basketball teams for the first time since 1955 will be able to practice without the track and field during practicing around the court, Temple said. Anschutz continued from p. The lower level of the field house will be isolated from it 1 p.m. while the basketball court will be isolated from it 3 p.m. Johnson said a basketball would bounce well on the football court so the pavilion would be more visible. Next year, Temple and Johnson said, the athletic department plans to open the pavilion for morning physical education classes and jogging. Temple said the athletes were accommodated before expanding the building's use. JOHNSON SAID THE strength center would not be open to non-athletes. The athletes will continue to use the weight room in the Parrot Annex, but the new strength room will ease athletes' schedules so they don't have to work out early in the morning or as late at night as they do now Temple said the new pavilion would help with recruiting in all the sports that would use it. Mike Gottfried, head football coach, sadd he thought it would help in recruiting just because it added to the facilities, but that didn't matter. He said the University because of the new building. Carla Coffey, head women's track coach said, "Weather is a big factor in the Midwest so the facilities will really help in recruiting." Johnson said the $2.5 million project was built entirely from the donations of about 60 individuals Fred B Anschutz of Denver, married after, gave almost $1.5 million dollars. The $415,000 strength center is named for the five major contributors: Bub Shaffer, Helen Holland, Michael Holland, Nancy Cohen, and Russell, and Catherine Holland of Topeka. The strength center has 6,000 square feet of space and $100,000 of ultra-modern strength equipment, which was provided by donors. --continued from p. 1 Now she is dressing up for the workshop and considering something besides construction work." The workshop is financed by a $48,000 federal grant under the Job Training Partnership Act. The Division of Continuing Education, of which the Adult Life Resource Center is a part, has matched the federal money.
