Main — 846-6687 Hubert Beck, Pastor & & & & Campus Campaigns Weak Page 4 College By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Disenchanted with Sen. George McGovern because of the Eagle- ton affair and a belief he has vacillated on key issues, his cam pus supporters from Boston to Berkeley have lost their enthusi asm about the presidential elec tion. And while President Nixon has his college campaigners, they are not making much noise. Associated Press bureaus in various parts of the country this week sampled campus sentiment and found little fervor about the election. Recent polls by the Gallup organization and Louis Harris indicated that more than 50 per cent of the campus popu lation is x-egistered to vote, with many campuses reporting better than 70 per cent registration. But while most students interviewed said they would vote, few ex pressed any excitement about it. There are hard-working Mc Govern people on nearly every campus. Missing, however, is the outpouring of volunteer workers who fueled McGovern’s primary campaigns last spring and whose efforts had been counted on this fall. “People are going to vote for McGovern, but not many are in terested in working for him,” said Robert Dichert, editor of the Harvard Crimson. “Most people here see it as investing in a fail ing business.” Nixon has his campus support ers, but they often appear content in the belief that simply demon- stratnig their presence is a con tribution to the President’s re- election. They are making only sporadic efforts to recruit new followers in the dormitories and Texas Attorney Says States’ Abortion Laws Unconstitutional WASHINGTON (.A 5 )—From the moment of conception, an unborn child is a person whose life is protected by the Constitution, an assistant attorney general from Texas argued before the Supreme Court Wednesday. Robert C. Flowers, appearing in defense of a Texas law struck down by an appeals court, said liberalized aboi’tion laws in New York, California and the District of Columbia px-obably are uncon stitutional. The high court has been en gaged in cases involving Texas and Georgia antiaboi-tion laws for over a year. Hearings wei'e held last December but the justices delayed a ruling and ox-dex-ed another round of ai-guments. From the questions put to law yers Wednesday, it appeax-ed most of the nine justices are prepared to take on the bi'oad issue of whether anti-abortion laws ai’e unconstitutional. Justice Byron R. White re peatedly asked when does an unborn child become a person protected by equal protection pro visions of the Constitution. Flowers answered: “Upon con ception we have a human being . . . within the definition of the U.S. Constitution.” Pro-abortion lawyer Sarah R. Weddington of Austin argued that a three-judge federal court in Dallas was correct in striking down the Texas abortion law as a denial of women’s constitu tional right to decide whether they will have children. student unions. “A lot of students come by and pick a button, but they don’t want to work,” said Tom Terp- stra, coordinator of the Nixon effort at the University of Nebraska. Mark Stevens, editor of Prince ton University’s student news paper, said campus political activ ity this fall, particularly in the McGovern camp, is not what he had anticipated. “The campus is stx-ongly for McGovern, but there is little in terest in going out to work for him,” said Stevens. “There is a degree of disillusionment with him, especially about the Eagle- ton affair.” The departure of Sen. Thomas Eagleton from the Democratic ticket and in particular the way McGovern handled it were men tioned time after time by students as a major factor contributing to their disillusionment with Mc Govern. Many students said they were disturbed by what they called changes in McGovern’s positions on the Vietnam war, welfare, tax reform and defense spending. “I just think he has changed too much on some of the stands he took in the primaries,” said Pat Mullins, a University of Nebraska student. “It seems like he is like all the rest. I will vote for him, but I am not for him as much as I was.” FANTASTIC FASHION UNDER $20.°° THE BATTALION L ratta Station, Texas Thursday, OctoberliflL DAN I I Flannel Panf Jackets $15.00 ith R Hu By KEVIN COFI Assistant Sports The A&M Fish o|sition, TCU mi: ■hrd setting F Ronnie Hubby to jver the Wogs W pHubby scored touchdowns durini Id the record fc Keason with s< still have three schedule.
