GOP delegates afraid party may be facing major trouble
By Debbie Bengtson

Some Kansas delegates to the Republican National Convention are not confident the party will be able to overcome the problems of the Reagan administration.
Recent scandal in Washington may result in a Democratic victory in November, said Chuck McCain, an alternate delegate for Senate Minority Leader Bob Roe, the Republican National Convention. August 15-18 in New Orleans.
Maxine Dawson, a Dole delegate from Topeka, said that the campaign issues were economics, education and women's issues.
"I'm a good Republican," he said, "but with the fallout of Irangate and the Pentagon scandals and who knows what with the commercial airliner that we just shot down, it's going to be hard to elect a Republican president."
"Women's issues are very important," she said. "The middle class will be affected by women not making as much money as men. And this will affect the poverty-stricken women also."
She said that unemployment also would be an important issue in this year's election.
"Times are difficult. People need jobs, not welfare," she said.
Dawson said that the high unemployment rate and the large lower class could be attributed to Reaganomics. She said that some people had prospered but others had been hurt by Reagan's economic policies.
"The poor people have suffered," she said. "The mourn, people have fared well."
The 32 delegates elected in February supported Dole, but Duane Nightengale, Dole delegate from Topeka, said that he would vote for whomever the Republicans nominate.
"I think Dole is the best qualified in the United States," he said. "But failing that, I'll go with the choice of the Republican Party."

Pete McGill, alternate Dole delegate from Topeka, said he anticipated that everything would go smoothly at the convention.
"There will be no floor fights, even on the rules," he said. "There will be no contest because Bush has all the delegates wrapped up and will be able to select a vice president without opposition."

Some students said they were surprised at the vigorous page of the classes they were taking.
They also agreed that the teaching techniques they were learning were different from those that they had been accustomed to.
we are learning to use different resources; it is more of a hands-on type of learning," said Wally Strong of Topeenish, Wash.
Hoppenhill, Lillie Lark of Cherokee, N.C., said that at her school the teachers were pushing to make changes in the teaching methods. She said the KU program was good for learning new teaching styles that get away from the strict textbook style.
