States' role stressed in Mondale's speech
Staff Writer
By COURTNEY THOMPSON
KANSAS CITY, Mo—Sen. Walter Mondale, D-Minn., Jimmy Carter's running mate, said yesterday "there must be a new, creative partnership between federal and state governments to make government work."
Mondale addressed the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which is holding its annual meeting here this week.
He said Washington's past record on federal-state relations was dismal, characterized by "arrogance and paternalism on the part of federal officials" Mondale said this attitude must be eliminated, and the "inconsistency and lack of character that have characterized federal policy toward the states must be stooned.
HE STRESSED that the Carter-Mondale ticket would give state governments a broader role in the federal government and would end the "lack of accountability common to most every important social program today."
Before discussing specifics of the Carter-Mondale ticket's proposals for improving relations between national and state leaders, he wrote in a 1976 about the demise of his lackluster 1976 presidential campaign. Mondale was an undecided presidential candidate but dropped out of the race before the election to spend several months in Holiday Impires.
"MINNESOTA HAS a constitutional requirement," he said, "which requires one of us (congressman) to run for president every four years.
He noted that this was his first appearance in Kansas City since the conference began.
"I got together with the other great living Minnesota political figures—Eugene McCarthy, Hubert Humprey and Harold Stassen—and asked how to run for the presidency. They told me there was nothing to it.
Mondale said he took this advice and campaigned throughout the country.
"Stassen said, 'Above all, be humble,' Mr. Cartier is hard work, and Humphrey is quick to show it above."
"After a year," he said, "I was the choice of one per cent of the American people—only 3 per cent behind the 'don't know.' So I had to tell them, 'You don't not be nervous,' so I pulled out of the race."
HE SAID HE was amazed that the Manian people adjusted so quickly to his wishes.
The senator commended Santino Sabo, president-elect of NCSL, for what Mondale called an impressive list of accomplishments of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
"I was honored that he felt unacute of re-election last year and called upon the most popular Minnesota politician to help in his campaign. "Naturally I was assistance."
Mondale said Sabo's efforts were consistent with a recent resurgence, revitalization and dynamism of state governments throughout the country.
"I've selected one such state government at random that has an impressive record—Georgia. I think Jimmy would want it that way," he said.
CARTER'S RECORD "Demonstrates that state and local government can and must be creative partners in government and not stepchildren looked down upon by a paternalistic federal government," Mondale said.
He commended state legislatures for pioneering the opening of government service in Delaware.
Mondale then outlined specific proposals of the Carter-Mondale ticket, aimed at improving relations between national and state governments.
said they believed that full employment was the most important step needed in reducing unemployment.
Mondale also said he thought the experience, knowledge and judgment of state legislators couldn't be replaced by a made by a federal program administrator.
"YOU ARE THE ones who still go to door, who keep lists of phone numbers and who can't escape voter umbrella when you're wrong," he said. "You're there to listen, and you're mustard part of our team." The mayor's broader role in national government."
Mondale reiterated his belief that government must remain accountable to the people.
"Every citizen must know precisely where the buck stops," he said, "and it must stop on the desk of an official who is accountable at the next election."
Although he acknowledged that he was told to be impartial, Mondale told consenting voters that he had made a mistake.

Marching band flag corps on catalog's back cover
By a stroke of luck, part of the KU Marching Band stepped its way to the back cover of Spiegel's fall catalog. But no one knows exactly how it got there.

The KU flag corps, one contingent of the band, appears in a colorful General Electric television advertisement, showing a simulated TV picture of the corps in uniform marching with their flags raised across a football field.
When Tony Molina, Lawrence graduate student, brought the back cover to the attention of the photographer, she directed, wrote a letter to the Spiegel corporation to inquire about the photograph.
"But they didn't know themselves," Stidham said. "They just selected it because it was a well-photographed picture."
Foster said that he was pleased to have the marching 'Hawks on the nationwide mail-order firm's catalog but that he didn't want them or enthusiasm for the band would increase.
A letter from Leonard Gittelsohn, vice president of advertising for the Chicago-based firm, said that Spiegel's advertising department bought stock photographs from the company's photographic studios and usually didn't know about the photographers or details of the subject matter.
"It's flattering," Foster said about the band's appearance in the ad. "They had so many other pictures to work with and they chose that one."
Posted on the bulletin board outside the band's office is a display of the advertisement, the letter from Siegel and a small sign beside the ad that reads, "Chicago really does know that the KU Band is alive."

Dykes reopens hunt for director
By JERRY SEIB
Staff Writer
In response to a request by SenEx,
Chancellor Archie Dyesk died last week he would advertise a new administrative candidate candidates more time to apply for the job.
Dykes' decision to reopen the search for a University director of institutional research was made in a separate case, a pair of resolutions sent to his office yesterday by SenEx. One resolution asked that the search be reopened, and the other asked that the search not be repeated in the future.
Dykes said his decision would delay the search but couldn't, but he said the search could not be crushed.
THE DIRECTOR of institutional research and information systems will be responsible for improving the University's accounting system and supplying information about KU to outside agencies, including the state legislature.
The post was created early in the summer, and a search committee began looking for applicants in the first week of July. The search had been narrowed to four candidates.
Joel Gold, professor of English and a SenEx member, said during a SenEx meeting yesterday that the position hadn't been advertised sufficiently in the Lawrence area. Gold said that the only local advertising was a classified ad that appeared in the July 29 Kansas, four days before the Aug. 2 application deadline.
A CHECK OF KANSA records confirmed that the ad for the post was run only on July
Dykes said he thought that local advertising had been sufficient. One of 24 applicants for the job came from within KU, he said, but most KU personnel who quality for the position participated in discussions at KU's unions and therefore knew of the opening.
Gold also questioned whether national advertising for applications had followed Affirmative Action guidelines. He said an advertisement about the job that appeared in the July 6 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education didn't say KU was an equal opportunity employer that welcomes applications from minorities.
SUCH A PHRASE is required in all notices of KU jobs, Gold said. He said representatives of the Chancellor's office and the Affirmative Action office agreed to rerun the Chronicle ad to include the omitted phrase.
Gold said the ad didn't appear again.
Dykes he hadn't known about the agreement to rerun the Chronicle ad.
"We have undertaken the search process carefully and kept in touch with the Affirmative Action office, as we always do”
The Affirmative Action guideline follows
"If that's not the case, we are more than willing to delay the process."
Bonnie Ritter, director of the Office of Affirmative Action, couldn't be reached for contact.
GOLD ALSO SAID that 24 applications was less than the number of applications received for previous administrative support. The latter attracted between 48 and 175 applications.
Dykes attributed the unusually low number of applications to the job's requirements, which include a Ph.D. and previous administrative experience.
"Our interest in advertising was to secure the widest number of applicants," Dykes said. "That is a low number of applicants, but it is a technical position for which there are a few qualified candidates across the nation."
DVKES SAID the four finalists earlier selected by the search committee were from Illinois, North Carolina, New Jersey and Florida. The latter that none of the finalists was from KU.
Advertisements for the position probably now will be placed in the Kansan and the Oread, a successor to the weekly Faculty-Staff Newsletter. Dykes said he'd know not

Student Senate to give $20,000 to organizations
The Student Senate will have up to $20,000 to allocate to campus organizations during supplemental budget hearings scheduled for the last week in September.
Randy McKernan, chairman of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee, said last night he expected most of the applications for supplemental funds to be approved by next month, said he doubted that many requests would come from newly formed organizations.
The supplemental funds are a carry over from the Senate's 1976 budget. According to McKernan, the Senate doesn't have to allocate the entire amount.
Last year, the Senate received support
from 24 organizations but only授权 34.066.
Full budget hearings are conducted each spring, with the sweeping 50 organizations included. EMA, Inc.
Applications for funds must be submitted to the Senate by Sept. 24.
*Plans for construction of a $4 million computer service center at the University will move closer to the building stage as it prepares to open building beds in Topeka next Thursday.
The two-story concrete structure will house two new computer systems purchased this summer for the University of Kansas. The two systems, a honeywell 66-60 used for instruction and research, and an IBM 370-145, used by the administration, now are operating in temporary quarters in Summerfield Hall.
The new 47,000 square-foot center will be built near Illinois Street and Sunside
Penalties don't stop sign thieves

Those features include additional insulation to keep the building at constant temperatures and zoning of the building into areas used eight hours a day and those used all day and night. Under this plan, unoccupied areas would receive minimal energy
Avenue. It is expected to be completed by Fall 1978.
ONE SPECIAL, energy-saving feature of the building is its heating system; heat from the computers will heat the whole building. According to an announcement released today, other other energy conservation features will be used.
A definite correlation exists between the return of college students each semester and the rate at which Lawrence and Douglas County street signs must be replaced, according to Leonard Hoyer, city engineer.
HOOVER SAID the rate of theft was about half of what it was two years ago, when the city spent $5,000 to $6,000 a year
The city loses many street signs, and stop signs, but sign thieves aren't picky, he said. Most signs can be replaced within a few hours after they are reported missing, but replacing street signs takes longer because new signs must be made.
The signs often decorate 'students' rooms during the year, he said yesterday, and are discarded when students leave for the
Few signs are returned that way, however.
"There isn't any guessing to it." Hoover said yesterday. When school gets out, we get calls from dormitories saying *cook*. "We don't cook," he said.
However said he didn't think that anyone was ever caught stealing signs, but Mike Malone, assistant county attorney, said his office prosecuted between five and 10 cases a year. He also said he could not prove any responsibility, usually a rash of complaints during enrollment week, he said.
A sign thief probably would be charged with tampering with a traffic signal, he said, which is a class C misdemeanor.
Lawton said construction funds for the project would be sought next year from the City.
Two other construction projects for the south campus area also are in planning stages. Plans for an addition to Robinson Gymnasium are nearing final stages and planning has begun for an addition to Malott Hall.
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY could prosecute under a charge of criminal damage to property, a class A misdemeanor. Penalties in that case could be a maximum fine of $2,500 or one year in jail, or both, if the value of the sign were under $50. That figure would include most signs in Lawrence and Douglas County.
Penalties of a $500 fine or one month in jail, or both, may be given for such an offense.
sideder, a consensus of state agencies and University officials would be sought before the decision.
He agreed with Hoover that in the last two years there has been a decrease in sign vandalism and theft. He said he didn't think Douglas County had to replace more signs than any other county with a university.
The county's biggest headache is the signs that are evidently used for target practice.
"I DON'T KNOW how they can afford to shoot 'em," Newton said. "They often use what they call a magnum load. They need a large gun."
Vandalism is the usual reason for replacing signs along county roads, Ray Newton, Public Works Department shop
A stop sign costs $30 to replace, a wooden post $5. Those costs, plus labor, amount to over $5,000 in 1975.
Once a sign is vandalized by shooting, he said, it stays in place until it can't be read. Then it is replaced. Newton said that such signs weren't stolen as often as signs in good condition were.
"One township said they were going to put up four stop signs and shoot holes in them so they'd stay there awhile," he said.
An 80-seat auditorium for classes, training sessions and technical presentations, and a drive-up park are included in the center's plans.

The 27th annual Rock Chalk Revue will be two weeks earlier this year because of a scheduling conflict.

Hannah said work on the revue is never begun until after homecoming. She said she discussed the possibility of shortening the schedule for the revue with some of the
participating groups, and they agreed to the plan.
She said there were more advantages than disadvantages to this year's schedule. The scripts will be returned before fall semester finals, she said, giving all groups a chance to pick casts and begin learning lines during semester break.
Scripts have been due before finals in the past, and the announcement of the four skirts in the revue has been made the week before spring classes.
Interviews for production staff positions will be Tuesday and Wednesday in the Kansas Union. Rehearsals for the revue begin Feb. 7 in Hoch Auditotium.
