Democratic Party's $150,000 deficit is "severely crippling the party's effectiveness in political and electoral matters," a candidate for chairman of the state Democratic Party said at a press conference Friday. Fred Sheheen said his first priority as chairman would be to eliminate completely the party's $150,000 debt.

Chris Vlahoplus, vice president for university relations and Page Morris, administrative assistant to the president, met with editors of the Des Moines Register and Tribune, sponsors of the Iowa debate, to discuss press problems and debate results.

A moderator will be provided by the Public Broadcasting System, which will televise the debate, he said. THE AUDIENCE at the debate will be comprised of students and the press, Vlahoplus said. Most of the students attending the debate will be journalism, political science and government and international studies majors, "but that won't be exclusive. We want as many students as we can there to represent the university," he said. The costs of the debate will be paid by Columbia Newspapers, Inc., Vlahoplus said.
