The Kansan wants to help you flush things out THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The action stunned many House members, but not because the bill represented perhaps the most significant liberalization of state liquor laws since 1986, when voters approved an amendment to the Kansas Constitution allowing the sale of liquor by the drink in restaurants.

NATION/WORLD UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The House voted 63-60 to approve tentatively a bill that would permit credit card and Sunday sales of packaged liquor and beer, as well as sales on three national holidays. A final vote is set for today.
"I didn't have anything I wanted to say about it," said House Speaker Tim Shallenburger, R-Baxter Springs.
Instead, what shocked representatives was that it took them less than five minutes to finish the work.

Still, ill biliary bills have inspired hours of debate in years past, and the legal taboos against Sunday and credit card sales have been seen as sacred by temperance advocates.
Sunday liquor sales approaching reality
"It was rather fast, wasn't it?" said House Minority Leader Tomas Sawyer, D-Wichita. "It shocked me."
State law prohibits liquor sales on five holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The bill would retain the prohibition only for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
TOPEKA — Kansas legislators yesterday advanced a bill about liquor quite a bit quicker than anyone expected.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba — A dejected group of Cuban refugees returned yesterday to the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay, reluctant prisoners of a foreign power on the same island they risked their lives to flee.

House members had conflicting interpretations of what would happen today.
Majority Leader Vince Snowbarger, R-Olathe, suggested that supporters might pick up votes. The vote yesterday was not recorded, allowing some people who were afraid to vote against it for political reasons to vote no anyway, he said.
"We're not a very talkative bunch," said Rep Robin Jennison, R-Healy.
After Rep. Ray Cox, R-Bonner Springs, explained the bill, no one volunteered to speak.

But he also said some legislators might be more willing to advance a bill than to vote for it on final action.
"My guess is that the bill will be killed," said Rep Ed McKechnie. D-Pittsburg.
"We see ourselves as political paws," 33-year-old Alberto Lujardo said after he got off the plane that brought him from Panama. "We have been betrayed by the United States

troublemakers from the riots are to be returned to Guantanamo in shackles, but were not scheduled for yesterday's flights. Even though the passengers yesterday were relatively docile, there was about one soldier on the plane for every two Cubans, armed with stun guns and tear gas.
Five hundred refugees were to be sent to Guantanamo by the end of yesterday and each following day until all are moved — 7,500 total. They are among the tens of thousands picked up at sea during the boat people exodus last summer.
The policy change was a bitter blow to the migrants, and anger festered in the Panama camps as people yearning for freedom were surrounded by soldiers and concertina wire. Riots erupted in December.
Overwhelmed by the number of Cubans taking to the sea after Fidel Castro's forces stopped blocking them, President Bill Clinton reversed
a long-standing U.S. policy of accepting all Cuban migrants. Instead, the boat people were sent to tent camps at Guantanamo or in Panama, which agreed to allow the Cubans to stay only through March 6.
