Democrats split on VP choice
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
The Democratic party may have more to contend with in November than Vice President George Bush.
In November 1998, If the Rev. Jesse Jackson does not receive the vice presidential nomination at the National Convention in July, more than 7 million Democratic supporters might not support the party ticket, said Charles McAfee, a Jackson delegate from Wichita.
"We can't wait any more," said McAfee. "Look at it this way: after you work for years and years and listen to promise after promise, then you're told to wait, it gets absurd."
McAfee said he expected Bush to win the presidential election if Jackson was not on the Democrats' ticket. He said that if Jackson were not nominated, he would not support the Democrats.
"There is no one to challenge the Reagan administration except Jackson," he said. "There is no human cry for change."
Allan Long, a Lawrence delegate for Michael Dukakis, said that leaving Jackson off the ticket would not hurt Dukakis' chance at the White House.
"There is no doubt about it, there will be some people who withdraw support, but I don't think that it (7 million) is an accurate assessment," Long said. "I think the attitude is changing to. 'It's now or never to stop Bush.'"
Long said that regardless of who was Dukakis' running
"Dukaius is winning back the blue-collar lunch box-type worker," he said. "People are waking up to find that the dream of unlimited growth and massive tax giveaways are gone."
mate, the election would favor Dukakis. He said that Dukakis was picking up support from people who supported Reagan in 1894.
"If not, we'll lose the Jackson delegation, and then we've lost before we've started," she said.
Sophie George, a Dukakis delegate from Topeka, said concessions must be made to the Jackson delegation in the party's platform, or losing in November could be a reality.
George said the biggest problem at the convention would be filling the seat of vice president. She said Jackson did not have enough experience to be vice president.
"I know he has a lot of good things to say, but he doesn't have the experience." she said.
Charles Meek, a member of the Democratic Credentials Committee from Topeka, said white America was not ready for black leadership.
"We know damn well they aren't going to be fair to Jesse (at the convention)." Meek said.
He said it would be inevitable that the Democrats would blame Jackson and black supporters if Bush won.
"The polarization of the races was not created by Jesse Jackson," he said. "The media turned it into a black/ white issue."
Budig proposes budget priorities
Chancellor Gene A. Budig submitted the University of Kansas Budget priorities for fiscal year 1990 to the Board of Regents on Thursday. The priorities included requests for budget improvements of $2,027,000 for merit-salary raises, and $1,537,000 for mission-related program enhancements. Other requests included $1,772,467 for enrollment-adjustment funds and $607,441 for maintenance of new buildings. Budig told the Regents that the salary increases for full-time faculty, which will average more than 8 percent in 1989, will help in attracting talented faculty to KU as well as retaining the most productive members already at KU.

Service groups seek aid through political action
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Members of an international political activist group last night encouraged about 20 people involved in social programs to become more politically active in fighting world and local poverty.
Results, an international group that addresses world hunger politically through lobbying, invited members from service areas in Lawrence and elsewhere in Kansas to discuss local problems of hunger, poverty and shelter in a meeting at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
Among the groups represented were the Douglas County Council on Aging, the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (LINK), the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Headquarters Inc., the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare and a Topeka family shelter. Three state representatives from the 46th District and citizens not linked to any organization but concerned about the problem also attended.
Francis Kelly, Lawrence resident and member of Results, said Results called the meeting because of the groups' common concerns. "We want to share strategies," he said. "We have different views and solutions."
Forrest Swall, Results member and assistant professor of web design, should
address hunger and homelessness in the local area.
Swall said in some ways, social programs add to the problems because they don't create a permanent solution. We don't hire them and we did." The programs and policies as they now stand perpetuate the conditions."
Ed Dutton, associate professor of social welfare, said, "I am a citizen helping citizens. As citizens, we can together help others."
The group discussed poor housing, welfare needs not met by the government, poor nutrition among poverty-stricken women and children, and possible solutions to these problems. The common solution they agreed upon was political action.
Results members asked the people at the meeting to write letters to the editors of their local newspapers and to one or more 1988 presidential candidates, showing commitment to ending hunger in the United States and the rest of the world. They suggested that the letters ask the candidates to announce their commitment to existing campaigns to end hunger and homelessness or to announce their own plans to ensure that no one in the U.S. will go hungry or lack a decent place to sleep.
Kelly said the next Results meeting would address world hunger, which is the group's main focus. The meetings are the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the church.
