SERPO Elects New President \ - With the decision of Chuck Boss not to run for a fourth term as president of SERPO, the slate of newly elected of­ ficers for the year 1976-77 in­ cludes Dick Fink, president, Diane Boss, vice president: Claudia Russell, secretary and Diane Hunn, treasurer. Boss will continue to serve as a member of the Executive board for the year. Boss was elected president at the time SERPO was organized in 1972 and some of the more noteable of his ac­ complishments recognized by the members of the board have been:. Improved communication between parents and Sedom. Alerting parents of the national push for "Rights to Read" which eventually led to opening all childrens records to parents. Helping parents of ex­ ceptional children become more knowledgeable of their children's equal rights con­ cerning their education by publishing information on civil rights suits filed in courts. Making political represen­ tatives aware of the organization by meeting with the membership and discussing problems and needs and making the parents interests known. Presenting programs which make parents aware of ser­ vices available to them in the county through various agencies. Gaining recognition by groups other than local interest such as the State Office of Education being aware of what SERPO is doing and the Federal level being aware through HEW. And presenting meeting programs on wills, trusts and guardianships concerning the handicapped - followed by programs explaining the handicapped rights under Public Aid and SSI program of Social Security. Boss served on the short lived Parent Advisory council. During its' existence he authored a booklet to inform parents of special education in McHenry county. The booklet is presently being used by Sedom for distribution to parents of children entering the programs. It is also distributed through doctors in the county. Boss, also, with the help of his wife, Diane, has published a newsletter which keeps parents informed of important issues t^lated to special education.

MAIN 385-0294 WASHINGTON REPORT from Congressman John B. Anderson Kansas Ctty and the Future of the G.O.P. The Republican National Convention in Kansas City was a closely fought, suspenseful struggle. I witnessed the tumult, hoopla, confrontation and resolution as a delegate from Illinois and a member of the Platform Committee. The Republican gathering was a fascinating contrast to the Democratic Convention in July. Our site was increas­ ingly sophisticated Kansas City, brimming with sunbelt confidence In its healthy economy and civic spirit. The Deswcrats held their con­ vention in broke, bespattered and raucous New York, the symbol of Northeastern and central city decay. Yet un­ ited behind Jimmy Carter, they put on a smooth and up­ beat, if somewhat boring, convention. It was the Re- pub licana who went at It like two rival street gangs, be­ fore achieving a kind of truce on the final evening. As a delegate, I was pledged to President Ford, and supported his position In the battlea over the plat­ form. I found it perplexing that Pord, who is arguably the most conservative Repub­ lican President in 50 years, was forced to defend his pos­ itions against a kind of id­ eological tong warfare by the forces of the far right. On the issues of foreign policy wmz :)n the nation. equal rights for women, and national defense, delegates led by Sen. Jesse Helms (N.C.), pushed for planka un­ acceptable to the President. Cince Ford's record on these issues Is a solid one, I vig­ orously opposed any language which oilght be used as a red herring to open up an attack on the President. Perhaps because the Ford and Reagan forces were closely balanced struggle for the nom the convention was on of the most open and democr tlcally run the country has sien. It was In further contrast with the Democrats' New York City meeting, where the delibera­ tions of the committees were shrouded in secrecy, and all orders came from the Carter suite. In Kansas City, we delegates wrote the platform ourselves, without orders from above. In meetings lasting till one and two in the morning, we hammered out the substance and language of our party's position. A fairly conservative document emerged, one which emphasized the Republican reliance on the Individual rather than on government. But it did con­ tain # plank supporting the Equal Rights Amendment, and as reported, it was accept­ able to either President Ford or his challenger, Ronald Reagan. The Nominee Ultimately, the Reagan campaign decided to test its strength not on the platform wording, but on the proposed amendment, 16c, which would have forced Ford to name his vice-presidential choice be­ fore the balloting for Pres­ ident. The last of a series of clever campaign moves by the Reagan forces, it was defeated. The -Ford forces agreed to some minor but ir­ ritating changes in the plat­ form, and the stage was set for Ford's nomination the following evening. The Pres­ ident's choice of Senator Dole as his running mate was a surprise, but understand- able In terms of the need to unify the party. Although It was an open, exciting convention, a somber note was introduced by press speculation on the possibly dire consequences of low Republican registration na­ tionwide, and Mr. Carter's large lead in the polls. Cer­ tainly the temper of the del­ egates was markedly more con­ servative than that of the country at' large, possibly enough to make it difficult to -take advantage of the anti-Washington sentiment throughout the nation. I believe the gloomy chorus from the press galleries is mistaken, however. As a mod­ erate Republican, I am deter­ mined and encouraged to show an all out effort on behalf of the President. The base of our party, and much of hla support has come from the large Industrial states where Republican moderates have run well. This year the country is very much attuned to the message of the centrists in our party concerning the record of Gerald Ford. If we recognize this and conduct a forceful, positive casq>algn, the Republican party can look even beyond November, and build for the future.
