.ewis, the front-runners in the
fetrict 14 state representative’s
race, faced questions on crime,
education and the Permanent
University Fund Monday night
ala debate sponsored by MSC
Political Forum.
Hloth candidates answered
the planned questions similarly,
but disagreed on a question
brought up by a member of the
audience.
IlLewis was asked why he said
only a Democrat could rep
resent Texas.
■‘I never said that,” said Le
wis. a Democrat from College
Station.
Lewis said that past Demo
crats have had a good record in
Austin.
“The Democrats are strong
in Austin,” he said. “I think the
record speaks for itself.”
Smith disagreed with Lewis.
“Effectiveness can’t be be
stowed on somebody by his pre
decessors,” said Smith, a Re
publican from Bryan. “That is a
phony issue in this campaign
that has been exposed.”
The first debate question
dealt with crime in Texas and
changes in the Texas Depart
ment of Corrections.
Both candidates agreed that
the prisons were too crowded,
but disagreed on how to solve
the problem.
“Not everyone who is sick has
to go to the hospital,” Lewis
said.
Therefore, not everyone who
commits a felony needs to go to
the TDC, he said.
Smith said the main problem
is a lack of a management train
ing program at TDC.
“Good management skills are
greatly lacking in the Depart
ment of Corrections,” Smith
said.
On second question, which
dealt with the educational sys
tem, Lewis and Smith agreed
there should be an increase in
teacher salaries.
Teachers should be paid
higher so they will stay in the
classroom and not have to go
into administration to support a
family, Smith said.
“We don’t need to move ex
perienced, long-term teachers
out of the classroom,” he said.
Both candidates said they fa
vor the passage of House Joint
Resolution 19, which would
keep the Permanent University
Fund for Texas A&M and the
University of Texas.
“If you don’t do anything
else, get out and work to get
HJR 19 passed,” Lewis said to
the audience to stress his sup
port.
Smith said he will support
Reagan in the 1984 presidential
election.
Lewis said he hasn’t thought
much about who he will vote
for.

believed to have moved into sec
ond place in the closing days
ahead of Sen. John Glenn of
Ohio.
Glenn, who finished a dismal
fifth in the Iowa caucuses, said
he would not drop out of the
race regardless of his finish in
Iowa. “I’m in this for the long
run,” he said. “We’re not down
and out.”
The other contenders — civil
rights activist Jesse Jackson, for
mer Sen. George McGovern,
Sens. Alan Granston of Califor
nia and Ernest Hollings of
South Carolina and former
Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida
were all seen as trailing the oth
ers. For some, New Hampshire
could be the last of the political
race.
But the independent Yankee
voters of New Hampshire have
a habit of surprising the experts
and hurting front-runners.
And another unknown was
the drive by a conservative
group backed by the New
Hampshire’s only statewide
newspaper, the Manchester
Union Leader, to get Demo
crats and independents to write
in President Reagan’s name on
the Democratic ballot. The
newspaper has written three
consecutive front page editori
als endorsing the idea.
After a dawn appearance at a
Manchester shoe factory gate,
Mondale flew back to Washing
ton for a fundraiser, leaving the
final campaigning to an army of
500 volunteers and 200 staffers
in the state.
“I’m not taking anything for
granted,” he said in Boston
where he was endorsed by
Mayor Raymond Flynn. “I
think Tm going to do well. I
think the reason I’ve done well
is that Tm a person who has
kept his promises.”
In Portsmouth on the New
Hampshire seacoast, Hart said
he felt there was a “very strong
movement” of voters toward his
candidacy and said he was con
fident of his prediction he
would finish second.
“I don’t mean to be brash,”
Hart said. “There a fine line be
tween confidence and brash
ness. I hope I haven’t crossed
it."
Cranston said he would con
tinue in the race even if he does
poorly.
“I intend to go on to Maine
where I think we have a good
chance of doing very, very well
regardless of what happens in
New Hampshire,” he said.
Maine holds caucuses Sunday.
Jackson campaigned in the
northern part of the state on
the morning after he admitted
using an ethnic slur to describe
Jews. He apologized for the re
mark Sunday night and said he
hoped his comments would
open a dialogue between blacks
and Jews.

trasted today’s technology as
evolutionary or revolutionary in
the fourth of the Agricultural
Engineering Distinguished Lec
ture series.
Schafer defined evolutionary
technology as that which makes
improvements in existing ma
chines or processes and revolu
tionary technology is that which
creates or adopts an entirely
new concept or process.
“Evolution may well meet the
needs for solving today’s prob
lems,” Schafer said. “But I have
to wonder if evolution will pro
vide the machinery technology
we will need for food, feed and
fiber production in the 21st
century.”
Schafer described a tillage
hypothesis in which systems of
the future will be prescribed for
soil and environmental types
and specific crops. The system
he refered to was called Custom
Prescribed Tillage or “CPT”.
This technique prescribes a till
age process for soils by using
the knowledge and specifica
tions of the soil’s specific char
acteristics, he said.
“I believe that farm machin
ery technology will be an impor
tant part of farming systems of
the 21st Century,” Schafer said.
