The Democratic Party's perennial Pre
sidential candidate Minnesota Sen Hu
bert Humphrey announced Thursday that
he would not seek the Democratic
presidential nomination.
"With a heavy heart." Humphrey said
time would not permit him to mount an
active campaign in any of the primaries
But he added that if he were nominated
at the convention in New York,” I shall
be ready and willing to serve
"I shall not enter the New Jersey
primary, nor shall I authorize any
committee or committees to solicit funds,
or to organize, or to work on my behalf,”
for President, he said
Humphrey’s regional coordinator for
the Northeastern states during his 1968
campaign, Travis Stuart attended the
announcement ceremonies
COMMENTING AFTERWARD. Stuart
said, “history is being made."

The primary constituted a setback for
Humphrey too because his backers
intended to have Jackson win in the
primary in order to block Carter's
momentum such a block would lead to a
deadlocked convention in July.
HOWEVER. STUART said “I don't see
how Jimmy Carter can be stopped now in
Michigan. Ohio and Texas And he’ll run
the hell out of Wallace in Alabama After
ail of that I don't see how the convention
can deny him the nomination "
“Carter is in no way to be denied the
nomination of the Presidency." he added
Stuart predicted Carter would receive
1300 to 1350 delegate votes on the first
ballot at the convention A candidate
needs 1505 to win the nomination.
Although Humphrey is out of the race,
he will be influential during the conven-
7 don't see how Jimmy Carter can be
stopped now in Michigan, Ohio and Texas.
And he'll run the hell out of Wallace

Single sex organizations such as BIF—
TAD and '/flub that receive significant
assistance from the University must
conform to Title IX regulations against
sex discrimination, according to I,ouise
McBee, head of the Title IX committee.
McBcc spoke at an open hearing of the
committee's report, which is to be filed
with the federal department of Health,
Education and Welfare
“Besides athletics, tnis was the most
hotly debated provision in all of Title
IX," she said, referring to the regulation
prohibiting sex discrimination in campus
organizations, with the exception of
social fraternities and sororities
BIFTAD.an honorary organization for
men, and Z-Club, a women's honorary
organization, have voted not to admit
members of the opposite sex this year.
William R. Bracewell, another member
of the committee, said, “The University
could deny the use of all facilities,
advisors, and use of student activity fee
monies" to organizations that practice
discrimination, but "that is all the
University could do "
MCBEE SAID, “HEW has said they
will not go to a campus during its
institutional evaluation period, in order to
let it try to get its house in order.”
, July 31 is the deadline for the
institutional evaluation
Two changes were made in the report
following the April 26 open hearing,
in Alabama. —Stuart
McBee announced One of the changes
dealt with graduate assistanlships, the
other with athletic scholarships, she said.
The change in graduate assistanlships
was made “to formalize and publicize the
procedure (for qualifying and applying
for assistanlships i but to give autonomy
to the various departments,” McBee
said
THE ORIGINAL recommendation was
for a single set of criteria for assistant-
ships, University wide.
The other change "will give us an
opportunity to judge an athlete on
criteria outside of high school stan
dards," according to Elizabeth D. Mur
phy, a committee member who served on
the athletics subcommittee.
The recommendation had previously
based scholarship awards on high school
performance, but has now been broaden
ed to include experience in age group
swimming, USLTA (United States Lawn
Tennis Association) tennis, or other
applicable experience, Murphy said
Another change was recommended at
the meeting Vickie Thomas, former
Student Government Association (SGA)
minister to women, suggested the com
mittee include a statement recommend
ing the University take affirmative action
to balance enrollment in schools that are
predominantly single sex.

Humphrey, who campaigned in 1960
against John Kennedy, in 1968 against
Richard Nixon and in 1972 against Sen
George McGovern (D-South Dakota) is
undoubtedly, “out of contention," accord
ing to Stuart
Humphrey's announcement followed an
impressive win by former Georgia Gov.
tion, Stuart said
"THERE WILL be a small effort not on
his part necessarily to grant Humphrey
the nomination." he said.
Following his win Tuesday, Carter
declared from his campaign headquart
ers in Pittsburgh," we finally won at
HUBERT HUMPHREY
Gettysburg "
When asked Wednesday whether he
thought Humphrey should officially de
clare his candidacy or remain on the
sidelines, Carter simply remarked, “1
don't care ”
Stuart said the race now is between
Carter and Jackson He also predicted
Carter would win the Indiana primary on
May 4 by "a substantial majority ." "

1968 campaign as the regional coordina
tor for the West Coast states prior to the
Chicago convention Afterward he be

Buckley speaks
William F. Buckley Jr., believes Carter will be Democratic nominee
lt> RICK RICKS
and RANDY LOFTI8
Jimmy Carter will be the Democratic
presidential nominee and go on to the
White House in November, columnist
William F. Buckley Jr said here yester
day
Buckley said Sen. Hubert Humphrey's
iD-iMinnesotai decision not to enter the
New Jersey primary virtually assures
Carter the victory he has been seeking.
Buckley made the prediction at the
taping of a televised panel discussion
with Associate Professor of Political
Science Catherine Rudder and students
Steve Vaughn, Joyce Murdoch and John
Barrow. He later addressed students in a
lecture at the Coliseum.
The well-known conservative editor of
Naliunal Review had praise for Jimmy
Carter's political effectiveness Although
he is an avowed supporter of Republican
candidate Ronald Reagan, Buckley said
Carter has skillfully built a powerful
campaign
"THE EXTENT to which a great many
people of differeing political opinions
consider him their surreptitious friend is
rather reassuring," Buckley said. "After
all. he may end up being the friend of the
right people "
Speaking in the deeply modulated voice
for which he is known. Buckley said he
sees in Carter's ambiguous stands "a
marvelous reflection of the current public
position about political power
"We are well into a decade that is
highly skeptical about all the presump
tions of political power on which we were
weaned. Buckley added "Carter pre
sents himself as someone who is free of
those superstitions." he said, adding that
Humphrey s decision to stay out of the
primaries amounts to a recognition of
"the superior foothold in history that
Carter seems to have."
Buckley surprised his audience by
projecting that Humphrey would be
Carter's best choice as a running mate,
and President Gerald Ford would do best
by choosing someone like former Trea
sury Secretary John Connelly, who would
command broad support
IN RESPONSE to a question about
African liberation movements and Rho
desia in particular. Buckley said he does
not believe U S. political and economic
power should be used to promote major
ity rule in Rhodesia
"The situation in Rhodesia is not one
that I would tolerate if I were a
Rhodesian," he said. "But to go to
Rhodesia or to go to Tanzania to deplore
the lack of freedom in Rhodesia is a high
act of affrontery ”
Buckley added that American interven
tion in Rhodesia would "invite into
Rhodesia the king of political despotism
and chaos" of Rhodesia's neighbors
From a more general viewpoint. Buck-
ley advocated fuller use of America's
food resources to shape world affairs.
The diplomatic approach of Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger, he said, "acknow
ledges the extent to which American
demoralization is a factor in our strategic
position.”
AMERICAN FOREIGN policy is disin-
tegrating, Buckley continued, because we
have "lost our national sense of mission
in respect to communism."
According to the columnist, he and the
current secretary of state have been
friends for years and in fact it was he
who introduced Kissinger to Richard
Nixon.
“Maybe I'll introduce somebody to
Carter," he added
Answering a panelists questions re
garding the ethnic makeup of neighbor
hoods, a question that recently tripped up
candidate Carter, Buckley defended the
right of anyone to move anywhere he
wishes
He added, however, that federal inter
vention in housing was inappropriate and
regulation should be reserved to the
states
BUCKLEY DEFENDED a statement
he made in a Playboy interview advising
the news media to ignore "crazy types."
Buckley reiterated his belief that
society cannot progress unless it passes
over anybody who "wants to be ridicu
lous."
The columnist referred by name to
such personages as Bobby Seale. Eld-
ridge Cleaver, and Norman Lincoln
Rockwell (the late leader of the Ameri
can Nazi Party) as those types who
would not "have their ridiculous opinion
printed in National Review."
Ater the panel discussion. Buckley said
that he was concerned over the recent
move by Bill Moyers from public
television to CBS after support lor his
program "Bill Moyers Journal" was
depleted

Buckley predicts Jimmy Carter will win Presidential nomination
Recovery of stolen van
reaps extra half for Rice
By SW ANN SEILER
Tim Rice didn't know he was making
an investment when his van was stolen
last January, but it seems that now that
it has been recovered, he may have a van
and a half coming to him
Rice, a University student, was particu
larly upset when his 1966 Ford van was
stolen from the Russell parking lot on
January 23rd He had spent 81300
rebuilding the van—carpeting the inside,
installing speakers and a sterec. and
personally carving his name into the
wooden bumpers
Naturally Rice was pleased when the
University Police called Wednesday to
tell him that his van had been recovered
The only problem was the man who
allegedly stole the van had cut it in half,
and attached the body of a 1962 van to the
front half of Rice's 1966 van.
University Police are now uncertain
whether Rice can recover only both
halves of his van. the single van. or the
single van plus the original other half
"We're in kind of a dilemma about how
to return the victim's stolen property,"
said University Police Chief David Saye.
He admitted they did not know how they
were going to deal with the problem
Kenneth Douglas Pittman. 30. was
arrested in Jackson County for allegedly
receiving the stolen property.
Police spotted the van in a University
parking lot Monday and stopped Pittman
to ask him a few questions The officer
noticed several similarities in the van
Pittman was dr ving and the stolen one
that Rice had described
Investigators then went to Pittman's
residence in Jackson County and noticed
the auto pieces in the yard
Rice's van was apparently stolen in
order to rebuild the 1962 van The vehicle
motor registration of the 1962 van had
been used to purchase a current car tag
Other items contained in the van at the
time it was stolen were also recovered
However, they eventually will be returned
to Rice in one piece
HHH will not seek
