Carter took a strong offensive thrust, saying his Republican rival had taken '"dangerous" stands that could lead to a nuclear arms race and proliferation of nuclear weapons to terrorist countries. But Reagan denied he could overreact militarily as president, saying. "I don't ever want to see another generation of Americans bleed their lives away" on foreign soil. On social and economic programs Carter said Reagan's position was a "radical departure" from the historical principles of the Republican Party that showed insensitivity to human need. Repeatedly Reagan charged Carter with misstating and distorting his statements and said his record as governor of California was one of social progress.

In his own attacks Reagan charged Carter with a "miserable" economic record that led to high inflation and high unemployment combined with a military and foreign policy that has seriously weakened national security.

This Monday, Carol Wiggins, dean of students; Frank Napolitano and H. Fred Simons, assistant vice presidents in Student Affairs and Services; finally called upon student leaders to participate in deciding how to use the Commons dining room and the now-vacant Co-op space. But a Daily Campus staffer was not allowed to stay at the meeting. Except for the select few, (Larry Yakaitis, president of the Board of Governors; Donald Cafero, Chairman of the Inter-Area Residents' Council; James Dolan of the Graduate Student Council; Jim Deorio of the Undergraduate Student Government,) student participation was not allowed. But this cannot be viewed in an entirely pessimistic manner, the administration has finally recognized the duties prescribed to its student government No Oscars for Abscamers representatives. Their action is a step in the right direction, but they must recognize all students, whether it is the Daily Campus or an interested, concerned party.
