Barabba explains role of campaign computers
By Leslie Daniels Journalism Camp Reporter
The role of computers in today's political campaigns was the topic of Vincent P. Barabba, president of Datamatics, Inc., at Thursday afternoon's speech symposium at the Kansas Union.
Barabba said the firm for which he works is not a public relations firm, but one in which candidates can rely on for-accurate information concerning their campaign.
"Ethics in politics are not only practical but necessary. You have to present your case in a way to win. In order to make sure of this anticipated win, a candidate has to reach the people, and make sure his message reaches them. In order to do this, a candidate must have information on districts so he can find out where his support is, and then go to those districts. This is the purpose of Datamatics, Inc." Barabba stated.

Chancellor sees desert and leaves
By Pat Ashford Journalism Camp Reporter
On July 15, 1874, S. H. Carpenter, a logic professor at the University of Wisconsin, was elected by the Regents of the University of Kansas as Chancellor.

At this he got on the next caravan and headed back to Wisconsin. He wrote the Regents and told them that he wished to be relieved of the appointment.
IN MARCH 1863 the Rev. R. W. Oliver was sent to Lawrence by the Episcopal Church. He was to take charge of the Lawrence parish and to conduct an investigation of the financial troubles resulting from churches' efforts to find a college.
The Regents were formed in 1865 after the act organizing the University was passed in 1864. The Rev. Mr. Oliver was elected by the Regents as their chairman and Chancellor of the University. The board included some of Kansas' outstanding citizens and their cooperation with the Rev. Mr. Oliver greatly helped the University.
ONE OF HIS first jobs was to spearhead the drive in Lawrence to raise money for the first building and the incentive to get the institution, which was $15,000 and 40 acres of land. This was accomplished.
