THE KANAS Department of Transportation reported poor driving conditions on Kansas highways. A spokesman at the department said 10 men had worked all night Sunday clearing the highways around Lawrence. He said the men were scraping the snow from the streets but not nourishing sand.
"It too cold to use sand," he said. "The sand would just sit on top of the ice and make it go."

Sheldon Krizelman, hospital administrator, said a plan called Operation Snowbird was put into effect to get nurses to work at the hospital. Operation Snowbird uses shuttle buses equipped with cars to bring nurses in, she said.

Kansas Senate to debate death bill Thursday
TOPEKA (UPI)—Kansas House members yesterday endorsed several bills but postponed final action because several bills would require the capital because of deep and snowing滑.
The lower chamber endorsed one bill dealing with depleted groundwater supplies and another authorizing state compensation for certain persons injured by violent crime.
IN THE SENATE, Majority Leader Norman Gaar, R-Westwood, put senators on notice that a death penalty bill would be debated on the Senate floor Thursday, when it was determined most members could be present. The house-passed bill, which would reinstate capital punishment as an option in cases of premeditated murder, was suspended for passage last week. The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.

In House action, Rept. Keith Farrar, RHugoton, said the groundwater bill specified
how, when and by whom critical groundwater areas might be designated. Farrar, who defended the bill in yesterday's floor debate, said the measure would authorize water management districts to ask the chief engineer to designate critical groundwater areas.
THE VICTIM compensation bill, recommended by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, would award corruption to certain victims of violent crimes.
Baker said the program would be financed by a 25-cent surcharge on docket fees for criminal and civil cases filed in district courts.
THE SENATE Ways and Means Committee considered three controversial claims involving the deaths of two state nurses and a child abuse by a state mental patient.

A new way of allowing money to Kansas Board of Regents schools will begin soon if the Regents adopt a formula-funding plan this spring.
Regents consider formula-funding

Calgaard said that under the new plan, funding would be based on the costs of programs such as instruction, libraries, services, research and institutional support.

Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs and a member of the Regents' task force that developed the plan, said yesterday that the state-funding under the new plan would be based on the actual education rather than on enrollment stability.
Kansas schools would be funded at levels comparable to their peer institutions.
UNDER THE new plan, Calgaard said
KU's peer institutions, including the universities of Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon, were decided upon because of their similarities in size, academic goals, and state-income levels, Caligara said.
Although Calgaard said KU ranked below the average of its peers in general revenue, he would not say by how much. He no said he had released until the Regents approved the plan.
The task force, which had been working on alternative funding formulas for the past one and a half years, studied KU's peer institutions last summer. Calaedar said,
THE TASK FORCE decided that information on peer institutions should be updated every three years, but Calgary would not be updated before the method was new.
Calgaard said it was important that the
Write-in votes sought
A write-in campaign for student body president has been organized in this week's Student Senate elections, but the chairman of the elections committee said she didn't know what would happen if the write-in candidate won.
"I honestly don't know what we'd do," Grubbaud said.
McRagan, a Shawnee Mission junior, said last night that he and some of his friends were organizing a write-in campaign because they were not satisfied with the two current candidates. Morgan has not chosen a running mate.
This will cause a problem for the Senate if Morgan wins, because, according to Jill Grubbaugh, elections committee chairman, there is no Senate regulation that would provide for the selection of a vice president after the actual election has taken place.
drew his name from the race because of school and health reasons.
the IAM last night that he had decided to try the write-in approach because many of his friends thought he would be a better candidate. Then two candidates who already were running.
Mike Harper, Lawrence junior, and Jane Calaci, Glendale, Mo., sophomore, are the two candidates who have filed for the oresidential election.
He said he thought the heavy snows that hit Lawrence yesterday and Sunday would work in his favor. If it is cold, he said, only the people who really have the desire to work there. Those people are living group residents and that is who he is talking to, Morgan said.
MORGAN DECLINED to name any specific issues that he was concerned about and said he thought there was only one real problem.
His chances for success are good, Morgan said, or he would not even be trying.
National weather stormy
By the Associated Press
The Ohio River Valley braced for another winter storm yesterday, while the northern Midwest dug out-from as much as a foot of new snow. The threat of mudslides eased in California, and there was wet but seasonable weather in the Southeast.
In the Northeast, another snowfall, this time measuring in inches instead of in feet, was observed.
Winter storm watches last night stretched from Southern Illinois to northern portions of Maryland and Delaware. Freezing rain and snow is in the forecast for the region.
HEAVY SNOW warnings were posted for southern and central Ohio, where two to four inches of new snow was predicted, and northern portions were posted for northern portions of the state.
Up to five inches of new snow was forecast by early day in western Maryland and up to four inches in much of the rest of the state.
Another Pacific storm front was expected late today in northwestern California.
AND IN SOUTHERN California, where
Edmund G. Brown Jr. declared much
more serious than he did.
because of last week's storms, mud-suoked residents braced for yet another in a series of storms in the second wettest season in the area's history. Brown said damage from last week's rainstorms reached about $43 million.
The fifth in the series of storms since Feb. 5 was headed from the western Gulf of Mexico, where a strong storm said it would arrive tomorrow. The four earlier storms have brought the season's rainfall total to 21.42 inches in Los Angeles, and the next week's season since 1880-1881, when 32.55 inches fell.
TEEN POPE still were listed as missing since last Friday's storm.
In the Sierra, the snowpack was reported at its deepest since the winter of 1969. More than 170 inches of snow were reported on the ground at Norden. An avalanche warning was issued yesterday for the east slope of the Sierra.

Regents adopt the plan in either March or April if it were to be used for the 1980 fiscal year. Regents schools will submit their budget requests for fiscal 1980 in June.
The task force submitted its plan to the Council of Presidents last week, who then voted to approve the resolution.
Calgaard said the Council, which consists of the top administrators from each Regents
institution, still had to decide on some policy implementation issues before could be considered.

Although the plan does not have to be approved in a bill by the Kansas Legislature, Gov. Bennett said it must have the support of Gov. B. Fennett and legislative leaders.
Relays moved away; committee stays intact
MacGregor said the committee would resume activities next week in preparation for two alternate meets the committee will work on.
A student relays committee has remained intact despite the cancellation of the Kansas Relays at its traditional Memorial Stadium location, Liz MacGregor, one of the committee's student coordinators, said yesterday.
She said the committee would be involved in the junior college indoor track meet March 5 and the high school indoor state meet, March 31 at Allen Field House.
Stadium renovations have forced the relays to be moved to four different sites—to the University of Oklahoma, Emporia State University, Haskell Indian Junior College in Lawrence, and to a Shawnee Mission high school. The relocation will be held at the University of Kansas.
She said applications could be turned into the track office at Allen Field House or to a
MacGregor said the committee was supported by additional members to add to the 26-county plan.

The committee, according to MacGregor, was trying to ensure that students could be trained to work at meets this year so the relay team will be able to coordinate the relay next spring.
MacGregor said the student volunteers would be sending and processing all entries for the relays, providing information for the relays and coordinating coaches and coaches while coordinating the relays.
"ITS IMPORTANT that the tradition of the relays continues as a student-run committee," MacGregor said. "That's what we're trying to preserve."
