He made this statement in a student press conference in Roberts Theater Tuesday of ternobn. Dominick answered q u e s4 tions posed by a student panel representing Theta sigma Phi, women's professional journal- ism iralernity, Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional jour~ nalism fraternity, Young Re- publicans, and Young Demo- crats. Later the questioning was thrown open to the audience oi students, faculty and towns people. Power has been increasingly concentrated in Washington and in the Executive Department, according to Dominick. "it we can dispense this power and get back to more state and lo- cal government, we can do a more effective job,” he said. Dominick was asked to de- fine a conservative. “The clas- sical philosophical definition of a liberal is what we believe in as conservatives,” he said. This involves a concept of as much freedom as possible for the in- dividual, When asked about the farm price supports program, an is- sue with which Colorado is con- cerned, Dominick said, “We’ve got to move in thesdirection of getting the government out oi the lives of farmers.” l-le fur ther explained that we need to get back to the law of supply and demand, in which he ex- pressed strong faith. “The breakdown of law and order is of conSIderable con— cern all over the country,“ the Senator said in answer to a question seeking an explana- , tion of a national police force. “Neither Scnator Goldwater nor I feel that a national po- lice force is necessary.” l-Ie saicl that integrity ot govern- ment at the national level serves as an example for local areas of law enforcement. Dominick also emphasized that there must be integrity of the national government — es» pecially there must be a lack of the corruption evidenced in such cases as Bobby Baker and Billy Sol Estes 7 to serve as examples for local and state governments. When asked about the civil rights situation, Dominick said "I don’t think the CiVll Rights Bill is a partisan issue." He voted for the bill which was re- cently passed by Congress and signed by President Johnson. “I don't think you’re ever go» ing to solve a civil rights problem by legislation You can create equality of opportunity, but it‘s a situation which must be treated on an individual ba- sis once you have established the legislative opportunity for people to go forward or back- ward as they like,” Dominick explained. You have to get a change in atmosphere and cli- mate, he explained, and this is a difficult problem which can- not be solved by making lawsr He termed it a problem of the heart and mind, saying, “You can’t legislate prejudice.” Dominick is active in the Goldwater campaign, but he re fused several times to speak for the Republican nominee for President. He said that he feels that on the whole the reporters for the national news media have been fair to the Republi- can ticket, but that some of the columnists have not represented the views, statements and be liefs of the senator fairlyr When asked about the John Birch Society, as an extremist organization Dominick said, "That’s a phony issue too. You might think they were an atom bomb." He referred to the so- ciety as a “patriotic organiza- tion trying to do something about the course the country is taking # especially in foreign policy." Dominick was asked for an example of a federal program which could be done more ef- ficiently by state and local gov- ernments. He cited the poverty program. He said that the election 0! Senator Goldwater to the priest dency would be of benefit in» ternationally because it would “help our allies to know where we stand, and heaven’s knows they don’t know where we stand now.” He further commented that it: was not his intention to run an America election on the basis of what Europeans think. The press conference, the sixth of its kind on campus, was attended by about 200 students and faculty members. It was sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, Sigma Delta Chi, Young Repub- licans, and the Program in Practical Political Education. Another such conference is slated for next Tuesday and will feature Senator Birch Bayh (Dino). “c. r. suow‘s MESSAGE—that s11 sensible people believe Britain should renomlco [is independent delenflfltri: diapufllble.
