Candidate warns against student lobbying
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Reporter
Betty Jo Charilton, Democratic candidate for the newly aligned 46th District, spoke yesterday against direct student involvement in the Legislatures' consideration of the KU budget.
At a noon forum in Green Hall, Charlton cautioned students against going directly to the Legislature with requests for their special interests.
"Many legislators don't understand how the educational system works," she said. "If they give the money, they can't buy them." The best deal to best deal with the Board of Regents."
The forum, sponsored by the Student Bar Association, was one of a series
designed to give candidates an opportunity to debate campaign issues.
Charlton, who replaced Mike Glover last year as representative from the 44th district, answered questions from the audience. She departed from the usual parliamentary because Willie was out for her Republican opponent, was unable to attend.
CHARLTON ALSO spoke out against nuclear power plants and capital punishment.
"Nuclear power is a very, very expensive and dangerous way to produce electrical energy," she said. "It's just a stopgap measure that will last for only 20 to 30 years. What are we going to do with the waste that it creates?"
Charlton was equally critical of officers in Kansas to reinstate the death penalty.
"It seems to me that if society

executes the murderer, we're lowering ourselves to that level," she said.
"I'd get squeamish," she said. "I couldn't sit on a jury and vote for a verdict that would send somebody to his death."
Charlton said that most of the recent bills to bring back the death penalty in Kansas had been "farces," presented by the satisfy conservative constituents.
Charlton said one of the most pressing concerns of the district was the relationship between landlords and tenants.
"I'm in favor of (the "Self-help" amendment to the Landlord-Tenant Act sponsored by John Solbach and represented by prosecutors 48th District)," she said. "I'm familiar
with the problem because my three sons used to have to come over to my house to shower because of the plumbing in the apartments they lived in."
"It's a way of getting input from the constituents," she said. "Another more effective way would be to take a poll on every issue, but that's not practical."
She also said she would continue the public message constituents started by Glover.
CHARLTON SAID that if she were elected, she would not spend her evenings in Topeka attending social events sponsored by special interest groups.
"There are economic interests that have full-time experts to persuade legislators," she said. "There's nothing wrong with that. But I'm not going to accept the added pressure from their hospitality."
