PAGE EIGHT Value of Aired by By LYNNE CEREFICE What value and effect do the recent Nixon-Kennedy TV debates _have on the current presidential cam paign? About 90 per cent of approxi mately 30 students interviewed on this subject praised the se ries of debates as an excellent opportunity for the American public to "meet" the presiden tial candidates and gain a more complete understanding of im pending political issues and party platforms. Most students agreed that since the debates are complete ly unrehearsed, they provide the American public with a sound basis for judging the candidates and their political views. The spontaneous-ques tions of newsmen, they said, force the candidates to discuss all the issues. By giving the opposing candi dates a chance.to confront each other before the public, the TV series serves to clarify any mis conceptions voters may have concerning their - positions on various issues. On the other hand, about 10 per cent of the students said that the debates serve no use ful purpose as far as the pub lic is concerned. Students supporting this view, explained that most peo ple have already decided how they will vote:They said that a large segment of the popula- Reiter Asks Ag Council For Support Richard Reiter, junior in horticulture from Mars, Pa., reported last night on the Ag riculture High School Counsel ing Program, urging council members to help inform scien tific-minded high-school stu dent-. Speaking at the Agriculture Student Council meeting, Reiter said high school students should know about the possibilities in the agricultural and biological sci ences curriculum and be encour aged if they have an interest in science. Russell B. Dickerson, associate dean and director of the College of Agriculture, spoke to the coun cil on the Student Encampment Program this fall. He said there was much potential and many di vidends in the program and as a result, he felt there would be a smoother-running Student Gov ernment Association this year. He urged a better representation of the agriculture council members in Student Encampment. In other business council mem bers voted to allocate $5O per is sue to the "Penn State Country man," a campus publication to im prove the technical quality of the' magazine, Walker-- (Continued from page five) policy recommendations; to recommend action and expendi tures to the state legislature and executive: to approye the establishment of new degree programs: and to recommend the establishment of new insti tutions, Walker said. In his speech Walker added that the total expense of educa tion in Pennsylvania would de pend upon whether higher edu cation is made available to a larger or smaller percentage of young persons in the future. Pre-Vet Club Meeting 7:00 Wed. Oct. 12 203 Willard Speaker: DR. DUNN Debates Students tion does not consider the de bates in an objective light. In stead, the people tend to be in fluenced`by only those phases of the discussions which con firm previously rormed opin ions. In reference to the candi dates' performance, most stu dents said that Kennedy took the offensive in answering questions, while Nixon main tained a defensive position. Several students said that this distinction was more apparent in the first debate but that Nixon's comments were. strong in the more recent one. About half of the students felt that Kennedy's manner of speaking appeals more to the liberal-minded voter, while Nixon's style rinds support in the conservative voter. The other half considered the candidates equal in appeal. Several comments on basic campaign issues showed that about 20 per cent of the stu dents interviewed considered the presidential race a contest between personalities rather than policies. About half of the students felt the debates could be im proved by increasing the length of the programs. They ex plained that in many instances, complete discussion is ham pered by the time limit. The other 50 per cent sup ported the opinion that an in crease in time allotted for the debates would only prolong confusion and cause the . public to lose interest.
