(UPI By HELEN THOMAS PHILADELPHIA (UPI)— Presi- dent Ford and Jimmy Carter traded barbs and accusations for insensitivity. double-talk and in- competent leadership Thursday night in their first. surprisingly hard-hitting presidential cam- paign debate. Breaking no new ground in their Republican vs. Democrat stand on the issues.

Ford's vetoes. the Nixon pardon. unemployment and the economy. BOG head defends minority spending By JOHN HILL III The president of the Student Union Board of Governors (BOG) Thursday defended his group against charges that BOG has ignored minority programming. but stopped short of defending BOG's minority programming ap- propriations for this year. Jeffrey Naus. president of the BOG. said the board has desig- nated a committee specifically for minority programming in each of the last two years. “We have created a budget for minority programming to make sure we will not overlook minority programming." Naus said at a meeting of the undergraduate student government. Naus did not specifically an- swer charges made by student- Trustee Robert E. Wiggins that the Board has ignored minority programming in their budgeting of this year's BOG funds. In a letter to BOG. Wiggins criticized the board's budgeting the Inter- cultural Committee $l2.500. an increase of approximately 10 per cent. when BOG won a 100 per cent increase in the fee paid by UConn undergraduate students for BOG activities. Nausjustified the increased fee by saying BOG will sponsor more free and lower cost admission events. Naus also said the increase fee was needed to help offset costs of concerts which "are increasing incredibly. as we must pay before the production and cannot use anticipated revenues that we don't have." Naus submitted budgets for the years 1974-75. 1975-76. and 1976- 77 to the Central Committee of the Federation of Students and of Federation Chairman William Finch. Naus also denied BOG had created a meaningless committee .in the BOG Social Committee. a new committee this year which Wiggins had charged is simply a duplication of the BOG Concert Committee. “If you look at other schools. they have a concert committee and a second committee like our Social Committee." Naus said. Service Organizations (FSSO) "The concert committee is respon- Thursday. The budgets had been presented to FSSO at the request Women get Voice at WHUS After six months of complaining. sitting in. and debating. campus women have gained an official voice on the governing board of student-operated radio station WHUS. The Federation of Students and Service Organi- zations (FSSO) Thursday gave final approval to an amendment to the radio station's constitution to create a position for a women's program coordina- tor on the WHUS Executive Board. The Executive Board had approved the amendment by a 9-l vote and sent it on to FSSO for final action. "The Women's According to the amendment.

Meanwhile. the board made public the minutes of its executive session held Tuesday night. as required by state law. The min- utes did not describe the nature of the board's reply to Wiggins‘ letter. The meeting was called to draft a reply to the letter. Donald L.

She does not have a de facto right of control over all programming that is produced or present by women at the station. “She will represent all women in terms of any in charge of concerns they have as women at the station." The amendment will establish a department for women's affairs at the station. The department. to be called the Women's Radio Collective. will be open to both women and men "interested in furthering the goals of women's programming." Thursday's quiet acceptance at I-‘SSO's weekly meeting marked the end of the women's campaign for representation on the Executive Board. a campaign which culminated in a protest at an Executive Board _meeting.in April. As the debate moved on-past the scheduled 90 minute point because of a breakdown in tele- vision sound - the two men clearly began speaking directly to each other in answering the questions of a panel of journalists. The clash took on the nature of a real. old-fashioned. acrimonious de- bate. An estimated l()0 million Amer- icans. watching for the signs of sure-footed performance under pressure that might indicate the better potential president. viewed the first such televised presi- dential campaign debate since the Nixon-Kennedy clashes of I900. Ford grabbed the initiative with his very first chance to speak. accusing Carter of shifting posi- tions in his opening comment on solving unemployment. Thereafter the two men lost no chance to trade personal shots. Ford accusing Carter of inconsis- tent positions. inexperienced views and “playing fast and loose with the facts." while Carter accused him of “insensitivity” to the plight of the unemployed. shifting positions himself and except for preventing another Watergate. accomplishing not “one single major program for this country." Their summations. delivered only after the mysterious sound interruption delayed proceedings. continued that flavor. Carter. speaking first. said: “We haven't had leadership in this administration. We have a stalemate...a loss of vision." Ford stated: “One of the main issues is trust. The real issue is whether you should vote for his promises or my performance in two years in the White House." Representatives of both sides claimed "victory" immediately. White House press secretary Ron Nessen said. “I thought the President came across as being in command of the situation." Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss said. “I thought Gov. Carter clearly demonstrated just what he wanted to - that he is definitely in command of the issues." Continued on Page 4
