13 Polls Are Clark's Lucky Strike
3y CHUCK POTTER Kansan Staff Writer
For Barkley Clark, 13 is a lucky number. That's how many polling places Clark finished first in Tuesday night in the Lawrence City Commission general election, and that's identical to his 13-out-of-17 sweep in the March 6 primary.
Clark, who received 5,499 votes or more than half the total votes cast in the general election had solid support in all parts of the city. His strong showing also would probably indicate that Lawrence citizens are becoming more in better community and long-range planning from the commission, two things Clark emphasized during his campaign.
"In four years I hope people will think I've listened," Clark said. "I hope people take more interest in city government and make sure city commissioners are more accessible."

Clark said he received support from students and not persons not connected with the program.

"The people in Lawrence are aware of the key the University of Arkansas is to the university."
community, and KU should be aware of what a hospitable environment it's in. Lawrence is a great city and KU is a great society—the two are great partners," he said.
Clark is an associate dean at the KU School of Law.
3,999 votes, attributed his win to solid support in North and East Lawrence. Part of his popularity in East Lawrence may be because of his ownership of The Garden Center, which is in East Lawrence, and his local radio show on gardening.

Incumbent Mayor John Enrick, who finished third, could not explain his drop from a second-place finish in the primary. He said that the reason may have been increased campaigning and monetary spending by the opposition.
Robert Haralick, who finished 254 votes behind Benirick with 3,339 votes, rose one spot from his fifte-plus finish in the primary. The narrow margin between the two probably indicates hesitation by Lawrence citizens between the old and the new. Emrick Benson, a law professor, insistently advocated sweeping changes in city government during his campaign.
Hesitation was not evident from incumbent J. R. Pullman's weak fifth-place total. Pullman received 2,674 votes, 665 votes less than Haralick.

News Briefs By the Associated Press Watergate
WASHINGTON—A federal judge Tuesday sentenced Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy to an additional prison term of up to 18 months for refusing to tell a friend that anyone else was involved in the conspiracy. Liddy previously was sentenced to a six year, eight month, to 20 year term for his conspiracy-burglar conviction. It was Liddy who supposedly told fellow conspirators McCord that former Attorney Gen. John McCain was involved. Dean John Dean III and former Nixon re-election official Jeb Magruder also were involved.
Levee Breaks
WICHITA, Kan.—Hundreds of volunteers and airmen from McConnell Air Force Base worked throughout the night and Tuesday to plug a break in a leave on the Little Arkansas River in northwest Sedgwick County.
Waters broke through the levee about p.m. Monday and covered much of the farm. No residences were damaged, but the community water the threatened three farm homes.
WASHINGTON—The House Banking Committee voted Tuesday for a freeze on prices and interest rates at their March 16 levels but approved a rollback in food prices to May 1, 1972. The committee, considering the motion to extend the Economic Stabilization another year, took the action after defeating the rollback food prices to their Jan. 11, levels. January was the date President Nixon imposed his Phase 3 economic controls.
Price Freeze
Association, the University Daily Kansan or the concert series, according to one of the amendment's sponsors, Joe Speelman, Dodge City.
Speelman said that University Attorney Charles Oldfellow assured him that such groups were exempted from the Senate's filing procedure under the Kansas statutes.
Speelman said that these organizations had competent auditing agencies of their own and did not have to rely on the Senate Finance and Auditine Committee.
Speelman said the final form of the bill would specifically state that groups listed under Student Senate Enactment number 17 would be exempt from the amendment's restrictions. "The main purpose of the bill is to give students the power and the Finance and Auditing Committee and make them able by regulations of Kansas law in funding procedures," he said.
"We worked on this bill for over a month so that this problem would not come up." So, she added.
Speelman said that if the Finance and Auditing Committee adhered to the guidelines provided by his bill, it would not be susceptible to legal action. However, the finance and auditing procedures of the senate have not abided with state statutes in this regard. If this practice continues, Speelman said, then the senate could be liable to lawsuits.
The bill stipulates that in order to become more responsible and consistent in its intended mission, the Committee must submit written documents of proof of need to the senate when the committee makes exceptions in funding the committee's work. The documents would then be filed in the senate office.
These exceptions include instances in which an organization would be incapable of financing guest performers, speakers, consultants or staff personnel.
Senate OKs Bill Requiring Mandatory Drug Sentences
Speelman said the bill clarified the rules and regulations of the budget and should make them easier to interpret and execute correctly.
WASHINGTON—The Senate voted Tuesday in favor of mandatory prison sentences for nonadults who illegally possessed a firearm—ninth-of an ounce of heroin or, morphem.
For first offenders, the minimum sentence would be 10 to 30 years in addition to the penalties provided by present law. For a life sentence, a life sentence would be mandatory.
In neither case would an offender be eligible for probation, suspended sentence or parole except after serving 30 years of a life sentence.
In addition, mandatory sentences of up to 30 years are provided for using or unlawfully carrying a firearm in the federal criminal that threaten life or property.
These provisions were amendments to legislation for the compensation to the victim.
Sen. Herman Talmage, D-Ga., chief sponsor of the provisions said, "We need to get at the man who sells the dope and the man who wields the gun."
Talmadge told the Senate that "a wave of terror is sweeping the nation."
On March 14, President Nixon sent Congress a message that urged tough mandatory sentences for drug pushers. Talmadge's amendment differs from Nixon's proposal in some details and in one major respect.
The amendment approved by the Senate provides mandatory minimum sentences for traffickers in heroin and morphine only if they are not addicts themselves, a distinction that was not included in Nixon's proposal.
A motion by Sen. Harold E. Hughes, D-Laura, to table and thus kill Talmadge's amendment was defeated 76 to 18. Hughes said that no one hated the drug pushers more than he did, but that the type of mandatory sentencing in Talmadge's amendment "leads to mandatory castration for rape and other crimes."
Hughes called such legislation a step backward for civilization.
N. Jacob K. Javits, R-N-Y, protested against actuel action after only a few hours of work in the warehouse.
Javis forced separate votes on the parts of the amendment providing mandatory sentences for gun carriers and for dope peddlers. Both parts were approved on 81-12 votes, and then the over-all amendment was adopted by voice vote.
Finally, the bill with the Talmadge amendment intact was ent to the House by a vote of 93 to 1. Only Sen. Lee Metcalf, D-Mont., voted against passage.
Javits urges in vain that the Senate instead send the bill to its Judiciary Committee for a two week study of Talmadge's amendment.
Apartment owner William Lemesany finished sixth with 2,956 votes out of a total of 8,078 votes cast. Lemesany had predicted earlier that a large turnout of voters would result in his election and a poor turnout might not.
