Kansas Senator James Pearson sponsors a constitutional amendment to replace the electoral college with direct popular vote for President and Vice President. He argues the system is archaic and dangerous, noting three presidents won without the popular vote, and compares the college to weather everyone talks about but nothing changes.
The piece argues that dangerous, outdated methods hinder reform and that senatorial seniority preserves incompetent chairs. States with large voting blocs resist change, while public polls show support for abolition. Congress has not acted, and the author contends the electoral college should be eliminated.
The author notes the 1975 Super Bowl was a routine spectacle with crowd size of 63 023 in a 93 000 seat stadium and wonders if future games will be studio viewed. He predicts mixed trends toward home watching and questions whether 1976 may feature a far smaller live audience or synthetic crowd sounds.

An international consortium led by Kaiser engineers with partners from Denmark and Venezuela is stalled by soft rock under the dam foundation. Excavations extend 30 feet deeper than planned, raising costs to 46 million beyond the 81 million contract.
