Debate merely an introduction
The American public received little more than an introduction to the two vice presidential candidates in Friday's debate between Kansas State. Bob Dole and Minnesota Sen. Walter Mondale, according to Penn University, Parson, University of Kansas debate coach.
Paterson was on two panels that judged the
Edwardian House associated Press and the
Heart Newspaper.
"The American public now has a clear idea of who the vice presidential candidates are." Parson said yesterday.

Parson gave 25 points to Mondale and 19 to Dole. Mondale won, he said, because he did a good job answering the questions and presented his material in an organized
Dale, on the other hand, didn't provide many detailed answers and often took off on tangents that were extraneous to the questions, he said.
"On the question of what our national priorities should be, Mondale articulated three or four ideas on priorities." Parson wrote that. "I'll tell you a statement on priorities He set a pretty
consistent pattern of not answering the question or answering with only one line."
On the question of whether he approved of President Pardon's pardon of Richard Nixon, Parson said, Dole spent most of his answer outlining the effects of World War I. World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
He said Mondale was effective in responding to his opponent's remarks when he pointed out that Dole's reputation as a "hatchet man" was well deserved.
IN GENERAL, Mondale was slower in responding to questions but provided more complete answers, Parson said. Dole was often the only one usually restricted his answers to one-lineers.
Enrollment surge prompts $2.3-million request rise
By JIM COBB Staff Writer
TOPEKA-Higher enrollments this year at the University of Kansas prompted the Kansas Board of Regents Friday to boost funding requests for KU by about $2.3 million for the remainder of this year and the next fiscal year.
One of the requests to be presented to the 1977 Kansas Legislature in January stemmed from the enrollment of 562 more students at KU this year than last year. The University asked that about $1.1 million in collected费 be spent.
KU can’t spend fees that were collected, budgeted, without legislative permission.
Proposed changes in the fiscal 1978 budget were made on the basis of predicted higher enrollments at KU next year. The Regents voted to amend KU's fiscal 1978 legislative request to spend $741,467 expected from additional funding for $352,270 of additional state funding because of higher enrollments.
THE ANTICIPATED enrollment increases are based upon this fall's enrollment which had 810 more students than predicted.
Funding requests for Wichita State University were cut because of declining enrollments. Budget adjustments were approved for Emporia Kansas State College and Kansas State College at Pittsburg, which also had lower-than-expected enrollments.
In other actions at the Regents' monthly meeting, the board voted to:
—recommend that KU receive more money to offset rises in utility rates.
—rase annual rates for residence hall contracts by 35% beginning in fall 1977.
—ask the legislature to rename three state colleges under Regents' control to give
approve a policy that outlines how staff positions would be dropped at Regents schools in the event of declining enrollments.
Additional funding of about $400,000 for utilities will be requested from the legislature to carry KU and the KU Med Center through the current year.
-approve minor policy adjustments and routine business requested by KU.
The Regents agreed with University fiscal officers that about $4 million to be requested from the legislature for utility costs in fiscal 1978 probably will fall short of actual costs by about $1.2 million. They voted to ask the legislature to provide extra funding in a separate "line item," which will be returned to the state if it isn't needed.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL funding would be for both the Lawrence and Med Center campus.
KU$ residence hall rates will increase from $1,215 to $1,250 for double-occupancy rooms and from $1,540 to $1,575 for private rooms due to another action taken by the Regents.
The rate increase was recommended by the Association of University Residence Halls and Chancellor's Office because it was needed because of increased costs of labor, food and utilities.
"We've endeavored to keep our increase to a minimum," he told the Regents. "But we can't afford it."
the minimum increase to keep the residence balls operating efficiently next year."
THE PROPOSAL to rename the three state colleges was recommended to the Regents by the legislative, by laws and policy committee and the academic committee. The Regents voted to propose legislation that would change the colleges' names to Emporia State University, Pittsburgh State University and Fort Hays State University.
Glee Smith, Regents chairman from Larson, questioned why "Kansas" had been the state's first openly gay Heisterstein, Shawne Mission, answered that the proposed new names couldn't be confused with the names of KU or Kansas and would conform to the style of Wichita State's name.
The Regents also selected one of three plans that outlines when, and at what rates, state funding for salaries of employees at colleges and universities can be decreased
Fire at Park-25 inflicts $50,000 worth of damage
A fire early yesterday in Park-25
A apartments resulted in $40,000 damage at
the buildings and $10,000 damage to
personal property in 12 of the apartments.
There were no injuries from the fire.
The fire was reported to the Lawrence Fire Department about 12:10 yesterday morning. Firemen fought the blaze for all hours, with three fire trucks before putting it out.
Fire department officials haven't determined the cause of the fire.
See FUND INCREASE page two
None of the displaced residents were available for comment last night.
Residents of the building said yesterday that the fire started in the basement and spread upward. Larry Stemmerman, arson investigator, said the fire would be released Wednesday.
Eight of the apartments were damaged and are now by smoke, according to fire department reports.
RESIDENTS OF THE smoke-damaged apartments were able to return to their apartments last night, but residents of the apartments damaged by fire were displeased.
The fire occurred in the wake of fire inspections by the Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office of student housing at Kansas colleges.
ANDY GALYARD, property manager of the apartments, said that the buildings were inspected annually by local fire authorities and that the buildings complied with the fire standards.
Gary Stephenson, apartment office manager, said there were no fire extinguishers in the hallways of the Park-25 buildings because they weren't required.
"We've had them in the halls and people steal them." he said.
PAUL MARKLEY, state fire protection technical adviser for the state fire marshal's office, said that apartment buildings and complexes hadn't been inspected by the state fire marshal's office, but that they soon would be.
He said that the size of the apartment buildings made a difference in the type of fire prevention equipment required, and that the absence of fire extinguishers in apartment hallways would be an infraction of the state fire code.

Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., came back to the University of Kansas Saturday, armed with the verbal jabs that have been his weapon in the Republican vice president nomination.
During an afternoon in Lawrence, sandwiched between campaign stops in Wichita and Kansas City, Mo., Dole watched the KU-Oklahoma football game, attended a reception in the Kansas and visited his fraternity and his wife's sorority.
Republic vice-presidential candidate Bob Dole visited KU
Saturday afternoon to toss the coin before KU-Oklahoma
He mixed homecoming activities and politics throughout the afternoon and declared victory in the previous night's debate, which many experts said he lost to Sen. Walter Mondale, D-Minn., the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
DOLE, WHO attended KU from 1941 until he joined the Army in 1943, arrived by motorcara few minutes before game time and opened his afternoon on campus by tossing a coin to start the game. KU won the toss, and Dole went to his 50-year line seat, where he watched with Gov. Robert Bennett and Chancellor Archie Dykes.
After the game, Dole shook hands in a crowd in the lobby of the Kansas Union on his way to a reception in the Kansas Room. Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan., introduced
Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan., introduced Dole, who stepped to the leadwoman and took an oath of swearing in as a member of the board.
The remark was probably a response to Carter's statements that America was no longer respected in the world because of Republican mistakes.
He said Republicans had been responsible for providing America with peace and strength.
"We are at peace in the world," Dole said.
"We are respected by our allies. We are
respected by ourselves."
"THE EBEEN saying around the country that it's better for you than peanut butter." Dole said. "For one thing, it doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth."
DOLE SCANNED the audience and said he saw only one or two young men in military uniforms, calling the fact a tribute to Ford's presidency.
IN REFERENCE to Carter's campaign statements that the Ford administration has acknowledged that its staff were not aware.
As Dole walked to the lectern to begin his speech, a group of KU band members who were squeezed into the corner of the room blared a Jayhawk fight song over the applause. Some audience members broke into a "Rock C峡 Jayhawk, Bob Dole" chant.
Ford was working to reduce inflation and create jobs while remaining committed to the overall goals.
"I won the toss," he said. "I don't know."
Dole began his speech by talking about the football game, which KU lost, 28-10.
what happened after that. As soon as I left the field, it fell apart.
HIS MOTORCYCLE left the union for a quick stop at the Delta Delta security server. The station will wait until you finish.
At the fraternity, house president Dave Andreas, Winfield senior, gave Dole a scrapbook filled with notes from food in the house. He also gave Dole a plaque from the local chapter
"It's sort of like Carter's campaign. It fell short in the second half," he said.
Dole and his wife quickly flipped through the scrawchook. Later, midway through his remarks, Dole again looked at the scrapbook. "Do not look at it," she asked, "Do not let it be seen if I lose?"
HIS REMARKS about about 200 Kappa Sigma members and alumni and their families were largely nompolitical and to reminiscent about his days in the house.
After stepping to the microphone, Dole

Carter softens campaign approach
It was a performance typical of those made in Carter's three-day campaign swing through Michigan, Kansas, Missouri and Ohio. The Democratic candidate seemed determined to soften his recent criticism of Ford.
By JERRY SEIH Staff Writer
Speaking to 3,500 people at a rally on the City Hall Plaza, Carter touched on his traditional campaign themes of tax reform, unemployment and simplification of government. He mentioned President Gerald Ford only briefly.
KANASS CITY, Kan.—Jimmy Carter's campion shifted ages last week, and its new, subdued approach was apparent in Kansas City, a little stop Friday in Kansas City, Kan.
CARTER CALLED for improvement of the craftsmanship and stressed the plight of the working men.
Carter said that America had slipped back into double-digit inflation in recent weeks and that the working man suffers when inflation increases.
"We'll never have a balanced budget, we'll never control the inflationary spiral, until we put our people back to work," he said.
Carter said he had always worked with a balanced budget—whether on his farm or as governor of Georgia—and pledged to the national budget if elected president.
"I GREW UP on a farm," he said. "I farmed all my life. I believe American people prefer work to welfare."
Carter also drew upon his experience as a
leader in speaking of the nation's unemployment.
It's possible, Carter said, to have a balanced budget and low unemployment. He mentioned the Truman, Johnson and Kennedy administrations as examples of periods when unemployment was low and the federal budget was balanced.
"Things have gone downhill in the last eight years," he said.
The crowd in downtown Kansas City comprised largely laborers, students and the elderly. Few business owners but kids with Carter-Mondale stickers dotted the crowd.
CARTER RECEIVED the loudest and longest applause when he spoke about tax
"Our income tax structure in this country is a disgrace to the human race," he said. "What income it most likely to be taken? The income of a man who does manual work for a living."
"Come January, we're going to have a complete reform of the tax structure to
Unemployment has fostered a high crime rate, Carter said, and he drew another loud cheer for his criticism of the "dual system of criminal justice."
"If we could just tap that great strength and put it back into the government, where, in my opinion, it hasn't been in the last eight years."
"The average American who commits a crime goes on." Carter said. "The big news is that I am going to prison."
There is a "bloated, confused bureaucratic mess in Washington," Carter said, referring to his record as governor of Georgia as indication that he is capable of an administrative reorganization to aim at the operation of the federal government.
In spite of its shortcoming, Carter said, the American system of government is still the strongest in the world. But, he said, it must be endured that way despite Republican mistakes.
"Richard Nixon didn't hurt our system of government," he said. "Watergate did hurt our system of government. We haven't strong desire to work, our intelligence."
CARTER REMINDED the crowd that the election was only three weeks away. In asking for votes, he repeated another familiar campaign theme.
"Three weeks is not very long, and I want you all to assess our country," he said. "We've been embarrassed and ashamed in the past few years."
Carter spoke briefly about the
matter, saying, "They're not
perfect. Nobody said that."
But, Carter said, they have given the American people a unique chance to analyze the candidates. He attempted to capitalize on Ford's blinder in the second debate, in which Ford said Eastern countries weren't under Soviet immigration.
"AFTER SIX days of thinking about it, Mr. Ford has reversed himself and decided
