Law Student Running for Seat In Washington State Legislature By SCOTT BARTLETT Knit-rulil Contributor Third yeur University law atu dcnt Robert Kelker may be the youngest state politician in Uni versity history. Kelker, 24, has a chance of capturing a seat in the Washing ton State Legislature at Olympia, provided he unseats incumbent Helmut .fueling, a launderer who has occupied Washington 28th District’s position number one since 1980 Running on a campaign that “Washington can do better,” that Olympia "needs a breath of fresh air,” and that the antiquated po litical mentality of many legis lators has deterred qualified men from running, Kelker has gained the interest of Tacoma area voters. Felker’s rise In Washington politic* received its impetus from fellow Democratic candidate R. Ted Bottiger. A law clerk for the prominent Tacoma law lirm Me Cavick, Betzendorferm, Itemmen, A Bottiger, Kelker has found him self immersed in political dis cussion for the past two years. He is on a first-name basis with such key figures as Washington Senator Warren Magnuson and Sixth District Congressman Kloyd B Hicks. Kelker's endorsement by the Tacoma Central Commit tee propelled him into the gen eral election. Kelker is frequently regarded as one of the “Young Turks" of Campus Librarian To Retire Today Emma G. Wright, who has been University librarian for 20 years will retire from her position to day. Mrs. Wright is head of the seri als section of the acquisition de partment, with the rank of assis tant professor. She came to the University in 1946, holding the position of reference librarian un til 1950, when she assumed her current post.

The drive, sponsored by Lamb da Chi Alpha fraternity, was “very successful,” according to chairman Larry Hunt. “I’d like to do it again,” he added. Washington politics. “Republi cans,” according to Felker,” have traditionally thwarted progres sive legislation, while uttering empty slogans; the grand old party has envisioned the profit and loss statements as the cri terion of a successful nation.” Speaking before such groups as the Committee on Political Edu cation, the League of Women Voters, and the Washington Edu cation Association, Felker has ap peared brtisk, with a nasal qual ity .that one listener at a Felker Job Opportunities Student* may contact the Placement Office In Su*an Campbell Hall for fur ther Information about the following job opportunity*.

ROBERT FELKER University Law Student address at Spanaway State Park called “Kennedyiesk.” Economic with flattery and po litical bombast, the Tacoma law student has been direct in his criticism of Jueling’s “shoddy rec ord." While finishing his law studies in Eugene, Felker has deliberately, avoided fanfare in fear of dis rupting his studies. Law School Dean Orlando Hol lis, who has traced the political careers of former student’s wasn’t aware of his student’s political endeavors. Felker, running a vigorous campaign, largely with the help of the Sixth District Young Demo crats, rarely hesitates to stress the increasing importance of the state legislature and the conse quent necessity to purge Olympia of its "fossilized” politicians and its “all-too-mediocre intellectual level.” Felker anticipates the back swing of the pendulum to the state level. Washington, he feels, must prepare herself for the task. Felker says: • Social programs of monu mental importance, disregarded by lobbist-ridden state bodies, have been taken over and imple mented by the Federal Govern ment. • Indigenous state problems— pollution, electoral inadequacies, regularizing big business, and elevating housing standards will remain chronic unless tackled at Olympia by informed, unbeholden representatives. • Since corruption has largely EMERALD BRIDGE CLUB Terry A.
