Employes assured of pay
Despite the possibility of a temporary loss of federal funds to pay employees, Kansas Department of Human Resources officials said they were very concerned about perplexed lawfires.
The Lawrence job service center, which is under the department, employs eight workers who refer people to jobs. Ed Mills, manager of the center, said recently that he was concerned about the possibility that his employer might use its funding and have to close.
"I'm worried about it because it's going to affect a lot of people if they (Congress) don't do something," he said. "There is a possibility they would close our office. They've been short of funding before—but it has usually resolved."
ED BERRIDGE, manager of the district claims office in Kansas City, said his office employed a staff of 32 persons. Although the office was not too worried about funding, he
said, he was watching the situation closely.
"We have had some close calls on appropriations bills before, but this is as close as we've ever had," he said. "I've never thought Congress would sit on a bill that was so much bigger than those people out of it. It will take some time, but I think the bill will come through."
A $400-billion federal appropriation bill is stalled in Congress and, without the funds, the department would be out of business, the department would be out of business, by the U.S. Labor and Health, Education and Welfare departments. Money also would be cut off for those presently collecting unemployment insurance, who are on the state workers to process their claims.
THE APPROPRIATION bill ran into a long, last week when the Senate discussed the proposal.

Unemployment benefits are being paid to about 350 people in Douglas County, according to Al Lardie, assistant chief of benefits in Tampa, Statewide, about 15,000 persons are receiving unemployment payments totaling about $900,000 weekly.
Regular staffers in Mills' office do not handle unemployment insurance. He said the insurance was handled from an office in Kansas City, Kan.

TO AVERT interruptions in services while it works on the bill, Congress passed a continuing resolution that gave normal funding for the month of October to Kansas, James McCain, secretary of the state department, said.
Many KU schools and departments will be open tomorrow morning for visiting parents and some members of the KU faculty and staff. Visitation from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. to meet parents.

McCain said the regional labor office gave him the authority to transfer funds from other agency accounts to cover this month's payroll.
"The resolution that passed was sufficient to keep our department open until the first of November," he said. "If Congress is still in stalemate the first of month, they'll pass another resolution giving us funding. I don't see any layoffs."
EVEN IF IT takes some time for the bill to pass, there is money available to keep paying unemployment benefits because that amount was not the congressional immeasure, he said.
McCain has his department had about 1,400 employees and about 1,200 of them are working in job service offices, unemployment insurance offices, work incentive programs, comprehensive employment and training and the agency headquarters in
McCain, former president of Kansas State University, said he had been in situations such as this before and he could not get very upset about them.
"I ran into this type of delay at KState and found that funds earmarked for one thing can be channeled in an emergency to where they are needed," he said.
Campus police officers arrested two KU students at Memorial Stadium last Saturday during the Colorado game for disorder conduct. Two weeks ago, two other students were issued a notice to appear in court for trespassing in the stadium at 2 a.m. Saturday, but those charges were dropped.
Police arrest stadium offenders
During games, officers look for lorium bottles in the bleachers to spot students who are drinking, Michael Hill, captain of the KU police department, said this week.
The Lambda chapter of Chi Omega, the fourth of the 12 Panhellenic sororites to form at KU, was founded in 1982. The first member of KU was KU at Bai Phi Bhd, founded in 1872.
"The officers usually give students with liquor a warning about drinking on public property and take the liquor away from them. Confiscated liquor is poured down a drain."
Boden said the chapter members and alumni would attend a 10:30 a.m. brunch, with baked potatoes and beer speakers. After the Kansas-Oklahoma State football game, the women and their guests will attend the Diamond Jubilee Dinner in Mountainshead Country Club in Prairie Village.
The Lambda chapter of Chi Omega is the thirteenth chapter of Chi Omega founded in the United States. The first chapter began in 1895, Bodin said.
More than 150 alumae of Chi Omega sorority will help celebrate the 75th anniversary of KU's Lambda chapter Saturday, Cathy Bodin, Lawrence senior and Chi Omega vice president said yesterday.

POLICE DO not deal with marijuana smoking as often as with illegal drinking, HIV.
The two arrests made for disorderly conduct were the only arrests made in the stadium this semester, according to Jeannie Longaker, detective.
"I'm sure it occurs," he said, "but it is much harder to drink than liquor."

One of the students who was caught trespassing in the stadium two weeks ago did not report to the police.
DAMAGE HAS been done to stadium property by trespassers in the past, Hill said, but most trespassers are there to run the track or play football at night.
Hill said campus police usually gave
students a warning before taking action
and monitoring the situation.
"Occasionally, officers catch people jogging on the stadium track late at night," Hill said. "The stadium is posted no trespassing so officers first point out the officers. If they refuse to leave, the officer can arrest them to make an arrest or not."
