Robert Dole Views Politics, Viet Nam
Robert Dole, the visiting U.S. Congressman representing Kansas' first district, told KU students Monday that political leaders needed to make a real effort to speak to the nation's youth.
"It is important for us to talk to young people about their role in government and find out what they think is wrong," he said.
Dole told students at a press conference and at a McCollum Hall coffee, Monday afternoon, that the Republican party had to be unified.
"WE HAVE PLAYED the Democrats' game of labeling factions of the party too long and we can't afford this luxury," he said.
"We need a candidate who will appeal to the liberal, moderate, and conservative factions and who will just call himself a Republican," Dole added.

THE CONGRESSMAN supports President Johnson's stand on the Viet Nam war and believes we have no choice.
Dole felt that Republican national chairman Ray Bliss would eventually unite the party although it would take a while.
"The problem is how to get peace with honor," he said.
Dole stated he was not worried about the John Birch Society and would not worry about them until they "began to frustrate the efforts of the party."
"WE MUST WORRY about the Democrats who will have a candidate, rather than the Birchers," he said.
He predicted that John Lindsay would win the New York mayoralty race. "Johnson's endorsement of Beame was strong enough but was untimely," he said. "He left the impression that he wouldn't have done it if the Democrats hadn't called for it."
Dole felt that demonstrators against the Viet Nam War have the basic right to disagree although he voted for the measure which prohibits burning draft cards.

KU Initiates Action
Marine Fund Drive Will Aid Viet Nam
By Stephen Russell
The United States Marine Corps Reserve is at KU promoting its Civic Action Fund for Viet Nam.
The program, sponsored jointly by the CARE program in Washington, D.C., and citizen-Marines across the country, is a drive to raise funds to send medicine, food, clothing and other necessities to the people of Viet Nam. Marine reservists raise money for the program to buy supplies for distribution by Marines on active duty in Viet Nam.
A NEWLY registered KU Civic Action Committee is being organized by Charles Corcoran, Pvt., USMCR, Naval Air Station at Olathe, and Tom Moore, executive secretary of the KU-Y, to raise funds in the KU-Lawrence area.
Corcoran, former KU student from Huntington, N.Y., said funds from the KU-Lawrence drive will be obtained from KU living group and organization collections and from a one-night canvass of Lawrence residences.
HE SAID the leaders of all campus living groups and organizations will have been contacted by today and asked to give their organization's endorsement to the drive. They are also asked to collect contributions from their members and to ask for volunteer workers in the Lawrence canvass.
Corcoran said a meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union to organize the drive starting Nov. 10 through Nov. 13. All KU students and faculty members interested in helping with the drive are invited to attend.
In addition to explaining the purpose and function of the program the meeting will set the date for the one-night canvass of Lawrence and the method to be used in collecting funds from the living groups will be discussed.
REPRESENTATIVES from living groups have been asked to attend the meeting.
Corcoran said the support of prominent citizens in Lawrence, including the mayor and city manager, is being sought.
CORCORAN SAID a compiled list or both KU and Lawrence supporters and a resolution seeking the official support of the student body will be presented to the All Student Council at their next regular meeting, Nov. 9.

Heavy Vote In New York Mayor Race
Weather
A possibility of an 80 per cent turnout of the city's 3.1 million eligible voters was forecast. Democrats have a majority of about $3\frac{1}{2}$ to 1, but the outcome was expected to be close.
Maurice Breidenthal
NEW YORK'S mayoralty race was a three-ring contest between Democrat Abraham D. Beame, Republican Rep. John V. Lindsay, and Conservative William F. Buckley Jr.
Voters waited in long lines in cold weather outside polling places in New York City where the eyes of the nation were principally focused. It was in the vote for mayor of the nation's largest city that the GOP had its biggest hope.
WASHINGTON - (UPI) -- Unusually heavy voter turnouts were reported today as Republicans zeroed in on the populous East in their first comeback effort since the 1964 Goldwater election disaster.
Maurice L, Breidenthal Research Laboratory at the KU Medical Center was named in his honor.
On hearing of Breidenthal's death, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said, "The University has lost the one who must be called its number one alumnus. He was a confidant adviser and counselor to the chancellors of the University. No one ever called upon him
without finding him ready and anxious to serve.
"BY HIS VISION, he protected the future of the University's growth, both in Lawrence and in Kansas City. He was self-effacing such that very few ever knew of the tremendous role he played in the life of the University," Chancellor Wescoe said.
Breidenthal was chairman of the board of Security National bank in Kansas City, Kansas and had served four terms as president of the Kansas City, Kan. Chamber of Commerce. He had helped organize the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce and served as its president for several years.
HE WAS CHAIRMAN of the first state committee to raise one million dollars to advertise Kansas nationwide as a good place to live and do business. He served on the executive council of the American Bankers association and, in 1961, was named to the over-all advisory council for the Federal Reserve bank system.
Survivors include his wife Louise, two sons, Maurice jr. and R. Jack, both of Kansas City; two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Sutherland, Kansas City, and Mrs. Dorothy Jane Callahan, Beverly Hills, Calif.; and 13 grandchildren.
