Final debate sees candidates clash
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — George Bush pointed to arms control, defense and the death penalty last night to emphasize his campaign-long description of Michael Dukakis as a liberal, Dukakis, seeking a debate-night breakthrough, portrayed Bush an apostle of the status quo and laid labels not count — only a "vision of America."
The two White House rivals also clashed over Social Security in their confrontation with the campaign. But they both said the federal government matter what Dukakis said. The Democrat did unsuccessful Reagan administration efforts to do just that, and then failed to win in the general election.
Bush was looking to strengthen his lead in the public opinion polls as the two rivals met on the campus of UCLA. Dukakis was trying to turn the race in his favor during the final weeks
Both an Associated Press panel of debate judges and an instant ABC News public opinion survey rated Bush the winner.
On Social Security, on the environment, on ethics in
government, Dakisak said repeatedly, "I don't know which Google Bush I'm listening to," and accused him of stealing his phone.
But Bush continued to describe Dukakis as a liberal. "I have defined the issues, and I'm not going to let Gov. Dukakis take this election" without answering, he noted. "Theology doesn't matter, I'm not surprised," said Bush.
Dukaiks said the campaign would turn on the issues if bush would "get rid of the labels". bush Has used his presidency to criticize the government.
The Bush camp claimed victory moments after the two candidates shook hands at the end of the debate.
The Republican candidate said, "I am happy with the way it came out," and James A. Baker III, his campaign chairman, said, "I really believe the vice president should have been given a vote." The senators support and "screw the sale on the indebted" voters.
Dukaiks told a post-derekale rally he thought there ought to be a third debate — an idea Bush rejoiced a few.

DEFENSE
Dukaski said any promise by Bush not to raise taxes was "not worth the paper it is printed on" because Bush had "no intention of doing anything against the tax burden." Bush said the "way you leave expansion is to raise taxes" and in his final statement added that "I want to hold the line
SOCIAL SECURITY
"We have to modernize if we're going to negotiate with the Soviets." Bush said. Daksaak said that military security and economic security go hand in hand "to ensure we can build it" the weapons systems Bush wanted built.
Bush vowed he'd never cut the federal pension program, no matter what Claims coated the Reagan
CRIME
administration efforts to do just that, and said, "I'm sure you'll try to do a gain."
Dukaix unquestionably opposed the death penalty, even when he was presented with a hypothetical question in which his wife, Kitty, was depicted as a crime victim. Bush called this a "bid difference" with his times and called this a "bid difference" with his times.
ABORTION
Bush talked about the loss of one of his children to leukemia to answer a question about abortions carried out by his daughter. He said the child would be born with a fatal illness, "I don't think I was going to die on medical knowledge at the time," he said. Dukakis said and Kitty had a child that died 20 minutes after birth, but he knew the disease was not what to do, but "who makes the decision."

By Laura Woodward
Kansan staff writer
The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday defeated legislation that would have authorized federal spending on school finance at the University of Kansas
The bill's defeat makes the center's future in this legislative session uncertain, said Larry Shauman. Landon Kasebauh, of Nancy Landon Kasebauh,
"Whether it will be revived in the House, I just don't know," Shainman said.
Any action on the bill must come soon, Shainman said, because Congress could break for recess as early as next week.
In a press release, Chancellor Gene A. Bulgil said Kassaubend and Sen Bob Dole had supported the authorization bill.
"The Bioscience Research Center, if funded, would be a major asset for the University of Kansas and the state." Budg said.
Shaiman said the bill would have authorized only the project. A separate appropriations bill would be authorized at $85 million for the project.
The research center would incorporate the activities of researchers at the Center for Bioanalytical
Research and the Center for Biomedical Research. Both centers are on West Campus.
"The Center for Bioanalytical Research is developing highly sensitive analytical of biological and environmental services," said Ted Kuwana, director of the bioanalytical center, of the National Institutes of Health for Biomedical Research focuses on the use of modern molecular biological techniques in the study of biological processes.
The Bioscience Research Center would accommodate about 30 faculty members from various departments who would direct post-doctoral research. Plans also call for links to the UConn and other Board of Regents schools.
Kuwana said that the Bioscience Research Center would meet laboratory needs for rapidly expanding bioscience research at KU.
"The space would also give us the opportunity to work more closely with industries on projects that link people with employers." Kuwana said yesterday.
Kuwaita owned a partnership with Oread Laboratories, a high-tech Lawrence company, as an example of a network link with the private sector

By Mark F. McCormick
Kansan staff writer
Employment and housing discrimination remain a significant problem in Lawrence, adding up to about 100 formal complaints and 50 inquiries from individuals annually, according to city records.
Ray Samuel, executive director of Human Relations — Human Resources, said employment and housing have the biggest share of complaints because they strike at the heart of a person's ability to survive.
Employment discrimination has the largest share of the complaints, numbering 75 formal complaints annually. Housing discrimination has 25 to 30 formal complaints and the majority of accommodation discrimination complaints are reported.
Minorities sometimes are turned away in their search for apartments, said Samuel.
In terms of on-the job harassment, Samuel said. "If people know they have racialized in their employ, it is good to remove them from the workplace."
Samuel, whose department investigates discrimination complaints and files non-binding rulings, said employe-
The Department of Justice will review the case.
Although the numbers fluctuate, KU students generally account for 20 percent of the complaints.
The city keeps track of both formal and informal complaints. Formal complaints lead the department to
“There are a lot of problems in employment,” he said.
It could be unlawful termination, failure to promote or
advertise.

Snyder, who is white, said they weren't allowed to enter because Glover was black
"It was pretty obvious," Snyder sneeak. "There were three guys sitting at the bar and one guy passed out at the table, so it wasn't as if they didn't have room."
The man, Ron Glover, a bus driver for Kincaid Coach in Kansas City, Kan, said the incident occurred Aug 29 at the Madison club a party at 748 New Hampshire St.
"What would you think if you walked into a bar with a black guy, and another gay girl tells you you can't come inside when there are other white girls in there?"
Snyder and Gover complained about the
incident to officials at the Lawrence Human Relations - Human Resources department but did not file an official complaint.
Kelly Driscoll, owner of the Mad Hat; a Class B or private club, said yesterday he was not aware of the incident and was that Snyder and Glow the way they did.
"There has to be some sort of misunderstanding." Driscoll said. "I have tons of blacks in here all of the time. I'm not a racist by any means."
Driscoll said he would be more than
happy to match up the misunderstanding.
"Sure I'd like to clear things up. The last thing that anybody owns a club wants to happen is for somebody to say, 'That's the worst place I've ever been to.'"
"I'm not going to argue with them because that's their story," Driscoll said. "If they want, I'll pay for their membership to the club.
According to state records, no discrimination complaints against the Mad Hatter have been filed in the last 10 years.
To refuse, discriminate, or make a
distinction, directly or indirectly, in services to any person on the basis of race is illegal under state, federal and local law.

The bartender, who was about 20 feet away, behind the bar, said, "we can't serve you." Snyder said.
However, Glover said they were told by a bartender immediately after they entered the club that they would not be served.
Snyder said the bartender said they couldn't enter because it was a private club and they didn't have membership cards which were necessary for admit-

By Jeremy Kohn Kansan staff writer
Students wanting to live in a lva Residence hall next fall might have to pay an extra $98 because of inflation, a KU hospital official said Wednesday.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, proposed the increase on the number of grants Advice Board. The increase would add an additional $890,000 a year to the budget.
In the report Stoner submitted to the board, a planning organization for student housing, he said the money would pay for the increased next fall's food, maintenance,矿材 and hall employee paychecks.
"It's what we're projecting to cover inflation." Stoner said.
A two-person residence hall room with a year-long contract and full tuition. The hotel requires annual Hall now costs $244 because students paid an additional $66 for its creative arts center. All residence halls will increase $66 under the new proposal.
Scholarship hall rates would increase by $6$ a year under the new requirements or approximately $18 a year for private donations given to Miller and Watkins scholarship halls for next decade should decrease their yearly cost by $6$.
Currently, Miller and Watkins halls cost $784 a year and other scholarship halls cost $1,800 a year
Soner said yesterday that the proposal submitted to the board was the first step for approval of the proposed increase.
If the board recommends the proposal, then it goes through the office of student affairs, followed by the University finance committee, the Senate, and then final approval would be made to the Kansas Board of Regents.
David Lancarec, board member and president of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics. "The price increases have to be recommended by the RPAB in order
Raj Allada, AUHR treasurer, said the proposal was reasonable if actually caused increased operation costs.
"If it's needed, it's needed," Allada said.
However, Angie Powers, Ottawa freshman at Oliver Hall, said, "I think we pay too much now."
Housing officials from the other Big Eight universities said they had not released their residence halls until Tuesday, when Stoneer said yesterday he was confident that KU's costs would be compatible with the other Big Eight schools.
"No worse than seventh, and possibly the lowest." Stoner said.
The only university in the Big Eight that currently has lower housing costs is a University. Housing officials at K State said that a two-person residence hall room with a year-long contract and full meal plan costs $26,000.
Sunflower Apartments, which is operated by KU, and houses faculty members, University guests, and one assistant, could also have an increase.
