County Democrats to meet
Area Democrats will have their first chance to show a preference for one of the presidential candidates at 1 p.m. Saturday Douglas County Democratic Convention.
The county convention, the first step in the nomination process leading to the national convention July 12 in New York City, will be at West Junior High School in Lawrence.
According to Garth Burns, Douglas County Democratic Central Committee treasurer, and Howard Klink, chair of the Douglas County Fred Harris for Presidential Committee, this year's convention will be much different from the one in 1972.
Seminar focuses on death

To attend Saturday's convention a person
For the past four weeks, about 50 people from Lawrence have been discussing a topic that hasn't been a matter for social conversation for centuries, but is now a matter of social debate and legal rulings. It was one of the eight-week seminar, "Let's Talk About Death," is being offered in Lawrence to help people talk about it.
Burns said Saturday that there would be no quotas set this year by the party. The only suggestion that the party made is that each delegation at the national convention try to have 50 per cent men and 50 per cent women.
THIS YEAR'S convention won't be a winner-take-all process, Klink said, unlike the 1972 convention, which allowed George McGovern's supporters to take all the county delegates to the district convention. Instead, delegates will be assigned according to the number that supports each candidate.
The seminar was organized by the Rev. Jimmy Cobb and patterned after a seminar he attended in Tacoma, Wash. The seminar here is being sponsored by Lawrence Hospital and the Chaplain's Auxiliary of the Douglas County Ministersial Alliance.
The Rev. Cobb said yesterday the seminar emphasized talking about death and grief with grips with it. The importance of grief also was stressed. He said that many illnesses were caused by not expressing grief or by expressing a distorted and morbid grief. It is important, he said, to know how to grieve.
MANY OF the people attending the seminar are nurses and nursing home personnel who deal with death as part of their jobs, or people who have been deeply affected by the death of a parent or spouse. Many of them also attend the seminar for other reasons, too.
Barb Davis, Lenexa senior, said she was taking a medical ethics course and thought the seminar might help her with a term paper for the ethics class.
Kathy Stubblebie, Great Bend senior, said she became interested in the topic when she accidentally saw a movie on death and dying at an Occupational Therapy Association meeting in Milwaukee. When she met Ms. Kettering, she be offered in Lawrence, she decided to go.
"It's interesting to examine how our culture deals with death, or doesn't deal with it, perhaps," she said. "The topic itself makes so many people uncomfortable.
"ITS MADE me examine the issue. I think I've come to realize that answers aren't what you get."
In the next two weeks the presentations will include a registered nurse speaking on nursing care and a film, "What do I Say?" On April 13 there will be a panel discussion with four professionals and a mortician. The final program, April 20, will include the film, "Until I Die."
The seminar meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays at the Community Building, 11th and Vermont. The two-hour program usually begins with a presentation and then breaks into smaller groups for an hour of discussion.
The programs are open to the public.

Kink说它 appeared that the campaign for former Governor Alamo Carter was very organized but he still thought Harris, a former Oklahoma senator, would come in second at the Douglas County Convention, behind a very large uncommitted delegation.

SCOTT SIEBELS, a spokeswoman for the Douglas County Jimmy Carter for President Committee, said that he thought Carter's forces had good grass roots organization and that he expected Carter to win top three candidates in Douglas County.
"I think Carter will do really well," Siebelsaid. "The top three will get at least 15 per cent each and they should be Udall, I think." If he didn't pick them, to finish in that order.
Jack Sullivan, a county coordinator for the campaign of Sen Henry "Scoop" Jackson, D-Wash., said that there would be a county delegation at the county convention.
Jim Ballard, Douglas County chairman for the campaign of Rep. Morris Udall, D-Ariz., said he thought there was a lot of division in the county. He said he thought Udall, Carter and Jackson would be the top three at the convention.
KLINK URGED all registered Democrats to attend the county convention.
"If you want something to do with the election process in New York city, this is a good place."
