Swilling swine
Grover, a beer guzzling bag owner by Larry Dohome, doubled another cool one in his pen near Garden City, Grover, a 400-pound boulder, began drinking about 1½ years ago when he guzzled the leftovers from Dohome's wedding party. Dohome said Grover could drink almost five six-parks in 20 minutes. He also said Grover, who is trying to get on television, three times a week, mainly on weekends, and has been drunk a hulk of drinks three times a week, mainly on weekends, and has been drunk a hulk of drinks not able to stand. But Dohome still says Grover's in his drinking buddy.
Surveys encounter variety of problems

The University Daily Kansas poll on the draft and registration is probably an accurate response to opinions of KU students about the draft, but it is not free from impertinent faces by all polling agencies. Allan Aitken, professor of political science, said recently.
The Kansan staff surveyed a scientifically selected sample of students by telephone about the draft, registration and foreign policy.
The reliability of polls depends on the number of people sampled and the amount of money and time the person com-
mence to spend the will is willing to put into it, Cialier said.
He said that in national polls 2,000 people from a selected geographical area of the United States were surveyed and that this had an error margin of two percentage points. The Kansas poll surveyed 270 people and had an error margin of six points.
Jackie Nixon, marketing research manager for the Kansas City Star and Times, said the poll taken by the Times had
a confidence level of 95 percent and an error margin of five percentage points.
This means that there are 95 chances out of 100 that the poll is accurate within a five point range. The Kansan poll had a confidence level of 95 percent.
CIGLER, WHO conducts eight to ten polls in an election year, said a survey that was based on the data presented draft and registration was not valid because it was not representative of the students on campus.
"The Student Senate survey was not really a random sample," he said. "This (the Kansan survey) would be a better one."
Cugler said the results of the Kansan poll could not be applied to other campuses because it was only a response to the draft and registration by KU students.
"If the poll had been taken immediately after the Soviet went into Afghanistan, you would have made the decision 'Right now, the danger is less imminent and they need not be respond to patriotism.'"
Nixon said that two weeks from now the results might be totally different.

Administration OKs litigation help

Student Legal Services stepped closer toward expansion representation after gaining tentative administration agreements.
The administration asked for modification of three causes in the Student Institute approved report on court resumes.
The modifications would prohibit Legal Services from court representation of criminal misdemeanors, add a user's fee to cover additional service costs and restrict court representation to "those matters that relate to
But the key areas of court representation, landlordtenant and consumer cases, met with administrative approval, according to Steve Leben, Legal Services Board chairman.
Leben said that in a Legal Services survey, 93 percent of representation in landlord-tender cases. Eighty-six percent supported court representation in consumer cases, but court representation for criminal misdemeanor cases was lower. A criminal misdemeanor case
"I'm very pleased with the general thrust of the program," Leben said. "The Board believes that our recommendations are superior, but you need to go forward with what you can."
The administration's proposed modifications will be reviewed by the Senate before being sent to Senate.
LEBEN SAID he objected to the administration's philosophy, restricting presentation to matters that are not directly related to student life.
"Legal Services is treated differently than other University programs," Leben said. "If you come in for health care because of a broken toe they don't ask if you did it in class.
"Our proposal is middle-ground. I'm disappointed the administration would choose to step in and put more
The Legal Services Board had voted to prohibit suits against the University and suits involving one student against another student, and reserved the right for Legal Services to refuse cases.
LEGAL SERVICES had reported that four of five KU peers institutions currently provide court representation
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor, said Legal Services needed to more slowly and build experience.
Earlier administration approval of Legal Services had hung on an agreement that program expansion would not be considered until after a year. Legal Services opened last week and only one full semester was completed before evaluation.
Shankel said the administration opposed court representation of criminal misdemeanors because it affected a small number of students and was not specifically a student concern.
GREG SCHNACKE, student body president, said the GREG SCHNACKE program was establishing credibility with the administration.
"It is good that everyone is taking Legal Services as seriously as they are," Schnacke said. "By no means have we lost anything. We've gained. It is a step in the right direction."
The Legal Services Board predicted that court representation would have a "minimal impact" on its budget. The only additional costs anticipated were paperwork costs for court documents.
STEVE RUDICK, Legal Services attorney, said he didn't expect to be overloaded by expansion into litigation. The program was budgeted for four law student interns, but only three were hired. He believed that the potential for court
Ruddick said he expected that the potential for court action would "settle a lot of issues" outside the courtroom.
"This is a very conscientious and responsible act by the administration," Rudick said. "Offering court representation will alleviate a lot of legal problems for students so they can get back to schoolwork.
Students say 'aye' to registration

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN DRAFT POLL

Most KU students are ready to line up at the local post office to register for the draft, but they are opposed to taking the big leap. Students surveyed by University Daily Kansan poll. Of the students surveyed by telephone before registration of men and $3 percent owned it.
Opinion on registration of women was more evenly divided. Forty-eight percent favored it and 52 percent opposed it.

2 Would you favor, probably favor, oppose, or probably oppose the registration of all vount women?

The University Daily Kanan poll surveyed 270 random

The registration proposal also has triggered debate on whether the draft should be reinstated—an idea that enjoy college学费. American registration enrollment college-Americas.

question of whether women should be included in the draft. On that issue, 71 percent of the women polled favored it while 61 percent of the men favored it.
Although more students favored women's being drafted than favored women's being required to register, the difference could be traced to the way the questions were asked.
STUDENTS WERE asked two questions—whether they were favored registration of women or registered registration of men. Therefore, blank opposition to the question was well as to the question, was it women?
On the draft, however, students were asked, "If there is a draft, should young women be required to participate as well as young men?"
National polls indicate that the 18- to 24-year-old group is the only age group that participated in late January found that people older than 25 had the draft 66 percent to 25 percent, with 9 percent undecided. The margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Although most students favored women's being drafted, the majority did not want them sent to the front lines.
WHEN ASKED to decide whether women should be required to take combat roles, be trained in self-defense, or be exempted from them, most said only women who volunteered should be given combat roles. For the other option, 14 percent said women should be required to take combat roles and 24 percent should be exempted.
Because this survey was done three weeks ago, intervening events have undoubtedly influenced opinion on registration and the draft.
THE FACTS that the Russians are still in Afghanistan and the hostages still in Iran could have changed opinions. Even concern about the economy could effect opinions.
The results of the Kansan poll indicate that, at the time of the interviewing, opposition to registration and the draft was more solid than support.
Students were given four answer options to most questions—they could favor it.
probably favor it, oppose it or probably oppose it.
The options were designed to test how users responded to the statistics cited earlier collapsed the favor and probably favor answers into one category, and probably and opportunity answers into other categories.
MOST SUPPORT for registration for the swans, who swerved, while most opposed came from those who said they were opposed, rather than those who said they were probably against them.
Students also said that if Congress approved funding for registration, the next step would be to reinstate the draft. Sixty-十八 percent said they thought the draft would be or probably would be the next step. Congress said it would not or probably not.
Given the opposition to the draft, students have evidently decided not to nip the movement in the bud, seeing registration as being important in itself.

KU may file suit against publisher
By STEVE YOUNG
Staff Reporter
"Jayhawk's: Inside Kansas Athletics," a glossy KU sports magazine which folded after two of 20 planned issues, may be gone, but it hasn't been forgotten. The KU athlete department is planning legal action to recover almost $7,000 in expenses from the publisher.
Don Baker, KU sports information director, said yesterday that a team from the Bronx was on the way to Kansas City, MN, where he resigned on a pledge it made to reimburse the team.
"We are prepared to take legal action if necessary." Baker said.
"The likelihood of filing a suit against LeDu is a strong one."
LeDuc Enterprises announced March 3 that it was "suspended publication" of about half of the individual sports magazines it has published.
KU was among the schools dropped, according to Jim Sheldon, editor of the KU edition and former assistant sports information
AND THOUGH the company has told the department that it would reimburse both the department and individual subscribers, Baker said, the legal action is being considered to ensure that the department will be reimbursed.
Although about 1,750 $25 subscriptions were sold, the break even point at KT was 3,500. Shandon said
One of the magazine's best customers was the athletic department itself, which spent $700 on subscriptions. The department also spent more than $6,000 in handling expenses which were to be reimbursed by LeDuc. Baker said.
"It's just that they own a great deal of money and Mike Davis (University general counsel) thought it would be in the University's budget."
Davis said yesterday that a suit was "under consideration," but refused further comment.
Baker said that LeLuC pledged to reimburse subscribers in full for all magazines not delivered when it informed the athletic department.
For KU trivia buffs, a copy of this publication could be a valuable item in the future. That's because "Jayhawks: Inside Kansas Athletics" has folded. The magazine, published by LeDuce Enterprises of Kansas City, Mo. dropped the Jayhawks January after publishing two of 20 planned issues. The KU buildup required legal action to recover almost $7,000 in lost expenses.

Kassebaum used to Senate role
By SCOTT C. FAUST Staff Reporter
WASHINGTON—Little more than a year ago, she was a Wichita radio executive and a name on a bumper sticker.
There to stay for at least five more years, her life has become filled with issues and decisions, ranging from budget balancing to registration for the draft.
Now, Nancy Landon Kassebaum is the only woman in the nation's most exclusive men's club—the U.S. Senate.
Seated in the understated elegance of her Senate office, the 1964 KU graduate said last week that she had settled into the routine, or the work that, with goes being a Republican senate.
"It's been a big help have been on Sen. Pearson's staff," Kaebsaum said. "I was able to get a feel then for the nirty gritty, day-to-day frustration of the job."
That frustration, she said, is a result of the long legislative process, and weeks like the last one in which the full Senate voted on nothing.
Being the Senate's only woman member has meant a "meriod of festine." she said.
"I'm sure that when he hears a female voice on the Senate floor," K萨基胺 said, "Sen. (Robert) Byrd (majority leader) who worries in the world is speaking."
"I've found that everyone has been very considerate. I'm going to be judged on how we'll do my job."
KASEAUME IS A member of the banking Committee, the Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, the Commerce, Science and Technology Committee, and the special Committee on Asking.
Among bills she has sponsored are a
successful bill to provide government services much of Kansas and will change in May, and a bill yet to receive consideration to limit Senate and treaty to 12 years.
She also was an active supporter of a recently passed truck deregulation bill.
"I have tried to not just introduce a lot of bills that had no particular hope of going anywhere," she said.
If the bill and the subsequent program are successful, foster home care could become part of state care for the elderly.
KASSEBAUM SAID she would introduce a bill this week to establish a federally funded test program for foster homes for low-income children, only limited care, but have parents to live.
"I feel very strongly that we have to be thinking ahead to programs for the elderly," Kass猴au said, "because in there will be a major demographical shift."
"It's important to show we can work in that direction and have the discipline to bring the budget under control," she said.
She said pressure from special interest
She said she supported President Carter's plan to balance the fiscal 1981 federal budget.
But balancing the budget is not a panna-ca for inflation, Kassebaum said, because a decline in national savings and production are underlying causes.
Besides legislation with long-range effects, such as the aging bill, Kassabum is also concerned with legislation which will affect the nation immediately.
groups would make it difficult for Senators to make budget cuts.
"All of us are just as guilty as the administration in not willing to be tough on it," Kassebaum said.
ONE OF Carter's proposed budget cuts is a $1.7 billion reduction in federal revenue sharing to states.
Kassabum said there was room for a cut in this area because many programs funded by revenue-sharing were automatically given annual budget increases.
She said she disagreed with Carter's insistence on the defense budget remaining unscratched.
The choice of guns or butter is an age old question, Kassebaum said. "I think you can make some cuts in the defense budget."
For example, she said, between $700 million and $800 million could be saved by making the MX mobile missile system sea-based rather than land-based.
Kassbaum also proposed cuts in executive and legislative branch budgets, where she said administrative spending had mushroomed.
"I think it's a mistake to increase revenues to balance the budget," Kassebau said. "We need to tough up a far more cohesive budget framework."
"All of us are promising a balanced budget, but we can't rob Peter to pay Paul."
A PROBABLE new source of revenue for the government is the tax on windfall profits oil companies earn from deregulated oil prices.
Kassebaum said the legislation for the tax
