Some are backing specific candidates, others specific issues such as peace in Vietnam and a reordering of national priorities.

Distribution of Leaflets The activities on 'campus have, ranged from the distribution of leaflets to the discussion of issues in political science classes. Several colleges invited can-i didates to speak in the last few weeks. One group, the nonpartison New York Students for Political Education, distributed 100,000 copies of an election guide newspaper at all 16 branches of the university. Another, the Hunter College-based Peace Through Politics group interviewed every candidate for every State Senate and Assembly seat over the summer and is now distributing its findings throughout the university.

He attributes the change to "a feeling among some students that whatever we do won't make a difference in view of recent remarks bv Vice President Agnew." In the New York City area, the (City University is the only large university providing the full two weeks off. Columbia is providing four days and New York University will have no time off.
