Udall prepares for race..

stories now list my name among the major contenders."

Udall said the 1970s and 1980s were going to be dominated by what he called "the three E's"—energy, environment and economics.
"I would add a fourth E" which is equality in terms of tax justice and consumer protection." Udall said. "The society that enforces antitrust laws and makes the free enterprise system work—these are the things I'll be emphasizing."
Udall said the most critical thing on the agenda was to get a program of energy conservation that would cut down dependence on fossil fuels and drain the strain of dollars to foreign nations.
"You've got to have an overall comprehensive program that deals with all aspects—transportation, commerce, industry, residential and so on." he said. "As
a part of that process, I would be willing to either go to rationing or have a gas tax, if one of an overall comprehensive program has problems, and so does the gas tax.
UDALL SAID HE wanted some kind of mandatory gas rationing program in place very soon, to begin to reduce the dependence on foreign oil.
"We've got to move very quickly," Udall said. "We've already lost time."
Udall said he was one of the principal coponitors of a new campaign reform act that passed in 2015.
"In terms of the presidential election, I think we've gone about as far as I want to go for now," he said. "We have tough spending limits, we have tough contributor limits, we have matching funds, the check-off fund for the general elections. We really reduced the power of money in this system rather dramatically.
"Let's go around the track once with this, how it works, before we talk about other ones."
According to Udall, 1976 could be a year in the incumbent president has trouble winning.
UDALL SAID HE discovered that the broader the audience was, the more chance there was that humor would offend somebody.
"I think that unless Ford gets a handle on these economic problems, 1976 could be one of those cases where an incumbent president has real trouble," Udall said.
"I was in New Hampshire making my announcement, and one of the national press corps asked me whether I wanted to be president," Udall said.
"I said some of the worst presidents are the men who feed us, president Trump," she wrote. "They leave the world alone."
Toys on the mend . . .

said. "And as a result, the customer is getting more for his money."
Dan Sites, manager of T&J Family Center at 711 W. 23rd St., said company buyers purchased all the toys for his store. He said he didn't receive toys that were considered unsafe because the buyers were familiar with the banned products list.
"THE TOYS ARE NOW extremely well built," Sites said, "but I really don't think that the customers are generally aware of the improvements."
Weis disagreed with Sites' observation. "I don't see how the customer could not help but notice how much better the toys are made now as compared with a couple of older ones." The plastic bows the manufacturers have gotten the consumer's message for safe toys."
According to Weiss, the toys available this Christmas season are less complicated. She said the manufacturers now were putting much more thought into their toys.
"You'll find that a lot of the newer toys are made of wood or soft plastic," she said. "Most children use new constructionstructions are now listed on almost all toys. This is a really good feature since a toy may be perfectly safe for a 12-year-old but extremely harmful for a child who is only 3."
WHEN CHOOSING a toy for a toddler or infant, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has cautioned parents to make sure the toy conforms to the following:
- Is too large to be walkover.
  - Doesn't have detachable small parts that can lodge in the windpipe, ears or nostrils.
- Isn't apt to break easily into small pieces or leave jagged edges.
—Doesn't have sharp edges or points
—Has flat surfaces exposed
exposed straight pins, sharp wires or nails.
—Isn't made of glass or bristle plastic
Record amount collected during card marathon
During this year's Project Santa, a 120-hour marathon spades game. The marathon was organized by Infinity and Kappa Kappa Garma sorority.
The money was donated to the Lawrence Christmas Bureau and the Barbara and Gene Burn Center at the KU Center for the fourth consecutive year.
"We donated the money to those two charities because they are in great need, they are not covered by United Fund and they most benefit the Lawrence area," Morgan C. Bailley, cochairman of Project Santa said, yesterday.
The Christmas Bureau is a central clearinghouse for Christmas charity donations.
About 130 Lawrence merchants and several private citizens, especially Gene and Barbara Burnet, contributed to the project, Bailey said.
At 8 p.m. Saturday, the card playing was done.
The consensus of some of the 100 men and women who participated in one or more of the two-hour card playing shifts was that it was fun but cold.
And once again, the Acacia won the
title, this year over 8,000 points.
The final was 34,484.
labeled "non-toxic" (avoid painted toys for infants who put playthings in the mouth)
—Doesn't have parts that can pinch fingers or toes or catch hair.
The commission also has emphasized the importance of parents' teaching their children to be good citizens.
Young children should be supervised at play since any toy can be misused. Weiss said. Parents should check toys periodically for the development of potential hazards such as sharp points, jagged edges and loose small parts.
Combination-ticket buyers can still claim cage half
About 150 student basketball season tickets, held back for combination football-basketball ticket buyers, remain in the Allen Field House Ticket Office, according to Mike Howard, ticket manager for the athletic department.
Students who purchased the combination ticket, but haven't picked up their basketball ticket, can do so by showing their payment registration card at the ticket office.
He said 7,000 to 7,200 student basketball season tickets were sold this year, up from
6,176 last year. About half were from combination
wages and a little more than 7,500
wages was put on the bill.
Student season tickets can no longer be purchased, but about 1,000 single game student tickets are printed for each game. House from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event.
However, Art Lingle, assistant business manager for the athletic department, said only 50 student single game tickets might be issued to students such as the KU-KState game Feb. 22.

"Then I mentioned the 'rubber chicken circuit' again." Udall said. "When I was through, a fellow came up and said 'mister, I was for you but I'm a chicken grower, and I was for you too.' People prices need chicken, and we grew more chicken, and you'd better knock it off!"
"And so, I suppose that you have to be a little bit more careful." Udall concluded. "I haven't been telling any ethnic jokes lately—and never did."
Students enrolled in a play-directing class will direct the plays selected from a book, "Collision Course," an anthology of 17 short one-act plays.
Play-directing class project will end fall theater series
The final fall production of the William Inge Memorial Theatre Series, "Collision Course," a group of 14 one-act modern musicals, was performed and tomorrow night in the Inge Theatre.
This is the first time a play directing class has presented a class project to the public.
Keeler said "Collision Course" was an experiment in mixing actual production principles with academic curriculum. The authors used the script to solve problems in relation to the script, he said.
Different plays will be performed each night. Of the 14 plays, 10 will be performed tonight and nine tomorrow night. Five of the plays will be performed both nights. Keeler
