Each candidate presented his platform and allowed students to question him, but the sparks just didn't fly. Only once did the candidates take pot-shots at each other, and even that didn't last long. Crosby had presented his plan for state government reorganiza tion and had attacked 1le method of state cigaret tax collections. Anderson, switching from a question concerning the state road program, suddenly declared mat it is the legislature's not the governor's power to reorganize government. He also reminded his audience that Crosby was a member of the legislature when the cigaret tax legislation was enacted and when the division of resources (one of Anderson's pet peeves) was es tablished. Student pulses quickened. The audience hoped that, at last the afternoon's discission would pick up. When Crosby next took the microphone (he had been asked why he had attended Harvard law school in preference to Ne braska), he quickly jumped to answer Anderson's jab. Crosby pointed to the last gov' ernmental reorganization (in 1919) and said that it was pow ered by Gov. Sam McKelvie. He declared that he hoped that "an other governor could do a part of what McKelvie did." In answer to Anderson's other remarks, Crosby explained that he was only the lieutenant gov ernor when the cigaret tax and the division of resources were estab Jlintd, tnd that, as lieutenant gov ernor, he had no power to in troduce legislation, vote, sponsor legislation .r participate in the work of any committee. After this brief show, the discussion moved on as before, each candidate cautiously pre senting his opinion or skillfully avoiding derisive questions. Anderson, who spoke first, pre sented his platform as a "plain, hard-headed, straight business man." It included: 1. "The best education possi ble" at the University. He de clared that during the last legis lature he was labeled as a Uni versity backer and that he was responsible for restoring a $600 thousand cut to the University's budget. He was, he declared, one of two introducers of a bill de signed to legalize the board of regents' pension plan. 2. More industry for the state.

He particularly attacked the state assistance department, echoing the demands hi ma.de before a group of uiversity faculty members few weeks ago. Soon after, when Anderson was specifically quizzed as to how he would finance his state road pro gram without increasing taxes, he declared it is "difficult for a man to stand up and say where he's going to cut." He mentioned, however, that he would rely upon his past business experience in firing workers and cutting the business. The discussion was sponsored by the YWCA "Battle for Ballots" commission.

Students Find Fallacies In Politicians' Discussion Following political talks by the Republican can d i d a t e s, Victor Anderson and Robert Crosby, in the Union Monday, students ex pressed their view points on the points brought out in the dis cussion. Names are omitted by request of the students. On Crosby's statement about "reorganization," one student said, "I can't see how this complete reorganization can be done; furthermore, I believe that these duties were assigned to the de partments best suited for the job and these is no need for im provement.'
