Channel 8 clash over debate format sparks candidate dispute
The Baldus Gundersen debate format chosen by Channel 8 general manager Peter Good excludes news media and public participation. The 3rd District candidates agreed to a 16-county sequence with opening statements and questions from newsmen, plus possible audience questions, and tonight's UW Eau Claire telecast follows that format. Critics question Good's defiance of an agreed setup and warn of reduced voter information.

Washington reports the U S solar industry is booming but patents and research funds disproportionately favor large corporations.
