To most people, they kooks. | Accepting that more easily than ie more entrenched hopefuls ight, about 50 turned up in Atlanta the first Presidential Kookie Can- Idate Convention. But that does not ean they are joking. All are listed with the Federal Election Commis sion and seem to be sincere in think ing their chances for victory are good — citing Jimmy Carter’s recent rise from near obscurity. Former truck driver Earl “Black jack” Stevens of Missouri, claiming campaign contributions of $18 mil lion, said he expects to win on a plat form that includes restoration of the 70 mph speed limit and what he calls “100 percent parity for truckers.” Stevens said he also would return to the schools, “Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the singing of Christ mas carols.” John Hagg, who said he had only raised $5 “to help me with my bus fare,” admitted his chances of living in the White House for the first four years of the 1980s are “very poor.” Nevertheless, he rode a bus from California for almost three days to reach the convention. The gathering was organized by Nick Belluso, who waged an un orthodox and unsuccessful campaign for governor of Georgia in 1978 — trying to use a hypnotist in his televi sion advertising. leutral ground — a birthday party to sudirfj i causes s ma in so® •r children Carter, Kennedy swap quips United Press International WASHINGTON — President arter and Sen.

Carter and Kennedy walked into |e hotel ballroom like prizefighters tering the ring. Both came out jab- ing with light banter. The last time the two men ipeared together publicly was at October dedication of the John Kennedy presidential library in oston.

I assured her I was in complete agreement,” he quipped. The Massachusetts senator said he and Carter were “in very close agree ment” on one of Carter’s proposals. “He favors a single term of six years for president of the United States. We are only two years apart.” In an unmistakeable reference to Kennedy, Carter said O’Neill once told him the “key to his own success in politics, and I’ve made the same f the law o adopted il m interest! of the nata concluded y appealedt , arguing lave an ak i elecl 'ury ial In his speech, Kennedy said he V ^0% OH Church burns santanic’ ock music United Press International 1ST.

Clowns have run the country long enough.” Donald Badgley, his grey beard reaching to the chest of his prophet’s outfit, said he is “not happy with the direction the country is going. ” “I believe the older generation should be a servant to the younger generation and not a master,” said the 61-year-old, staff-carrying candi date. Frank Ahern of Louisiana, dressed in a Marine Corps flak jacket and a military cap brimming with medals, proposed using dirigibles for hauling freight and cultivating oyster beds for food. He said only a tiny portion of the eggs oysters lay are ever hatched. Candidate Bobbie Shofner said he has learned that communists will be gathered on the Rio Grande within 10 years. Texan Leon Pickett, sporting a “re-elect no one” label on his neck tie, brought a vial of gold and a copy of the Magna Carta with him to the convention. He spoke for abolition of the income tax and promised to dis mantle nuclear energy facilities and wipe out organized crime. 1 1 1 1 ■ DON’T GAMBLE ON THE BIGGEST FILL-IN-THE-BLANK OF ALL: 1 1 1 1 ■ When a resume/application picture is ■ called for, use our professional glossy | service. 1 1 6 PRINTS — $11.95 ■■"■■■■ FAST 3-DAY SERVICE University Studio 846-8019 Northgate A&M RINGCREST DOUBLE PENSET - A&M RINGCREST BOOKENDS Bronze Ringcrest Products FOR THE CLASS OF ’79 point recently, is to wait your turn.” Carter also said the voters in O’Neill’s congressional district “know the value, which I cherish along with you, of re-electing the in cumbent.” Both men grew serious, however, to pay tribute to O’Neill. “Tip has never been afraid to stand up for what be believed and to work for what he knows is right,” Carter said. “At a time when people are hungry for leaders, he tells the truth — the unvarnished truth.” Kennedy said O’Neill, “has stood against the harshest winds in the worst of times.
