Legislature Hopefuls Discuss Growth

Candidates for the Virginia House of
Delegates and the Virginia Senate will engage in
public debate sponsored by the University Law
Wives' Club tomorrow in the South Meeting
Room of Newcomb Hall at 8 p.m.

In their debate the candidates will consider
three basic aspects of the legislator's
responsibilities, their role in relation to
University affairs, to expansion and its effects
on the University and the community, and to
women's rights.

Scheduled participants in the debate are
Democrats Daniel Van Clief and Thomas
Michie, and Republicans Darden Towe and
Joseph Wright, candidates for the House of
Delegates, as well as Republican John T.
Camblos and Democrat J. Harry Michaels,
candidates for the State Senate. Monrad
Paulsen, Dean of the Law School, will act as
moderator.

Karetta Hubbard, president of the Law
Wives' Club, termed the upcoming debates as
"important" in that "students, who now have
the right to vote, have the opportunity to show
their concern for these questions" as the
candidates discuss their views.

The question of women's rights will
consider the aspects of the "domicile issue,
state funded day care centers and
kindergartens, abortion law reform, the
realization of equal opportunities in hiring, and
fair admission standards to graduate schools in
Virginia," according to Elizabeth Richter,
publicity chairman for the Law Wives' Club.

Each of the candidates is alloted two and
one-half minutes to discuss the questions and
an additional two minutes to reflect upon the
views of the other candidates. They will then
field questions from the audience.
