Beer Sales Up; Pot Use Down, Victuallers Say
Beer sales have increased recently, partly because students are smoking less marijuana, according to local beer distributors.
Tom Jackson of Lapka, Inc., the Coors distributor in Lawrence, said yesterday that a decrease in local drug traffic was responsible for larger sales of Coors beer.
"Our whole atmosphere has quieted down since two or three years ago," he said.
Cliff McDonald of McDonald Beverage Inc., Lawrence distributor for Budweiser, said the "problem years when people were burning buildings and smoking pot" have passed, causing people to drink more beer now.

Ace Johnson, manager of the Stables Tavern, agreed that a shift away from drugs was partly responsible for increased beer sales.
He but said an increase in the number of bars and improved maintenance of bars has been noticed.
Johnson said that he and other local bar owners were taking much better care of their bars and that he spent more than $500 a month on cleaning supplies.
The 'junior' is the only indispensable per son I've got," he said, "and that includes
Johnson said beer sales had doubled since 1965, but a spokesman for the Bristue Tavern said sales there had increased only slightly.
Mike Eagleman, manager of the Jawhayk Cafe, said beer sales had remained constant for the past few years but increased sharply last year.
People prefer different brands of beer now. Eagleton said.
The manager of the Wagon Wheel Cafe said he noticed a similar shift. He said the ratio of carned beer sales used to be 3 to 10 and that but was now 7 to 1 in favor of Coors.
"It used to be that we'd sell all Bud around here," he said. "Now we're selling
Beer Business Booming
Budweiser is still the most popular brand at the Stables, Johnson said, and it accounts for about 85 per cent of the bar's sales. Johnson said that although Coors had increased in popularity in the past few years, Bud was still "the beer of the KU student."
marijuana smoking in the area. An increase in the number of taverns in Lawrence and better maintenance are also said to contribute to the growing sales.
More schooners and glasses are being filled with beer than in the past few years. Local beer distributors claim that the jump in beer sales is due mostly to a decrease in
University Contemplates Computer Pre-Enrollment
Kansan Staff Reporter
By BETH RETONDE
A plan to replace field house enrollment with computerized pre-enrollment is being studied by the Office of Admissions and Admission Dyk, dean of admissions and records.
There are various forms of manual pre-enrolment already being used by several universities and colleges in Kansas. Some major universities have used computerized pre-enrolment for
Several KU departments have what can be called a "soft" pre-enrollment, where majors in the department list the courses that would like to take during the next semester.
THE LISTING OF A desired course isn't a guarantee that the course will be offered by the department, or that if it is offered, the students who indicated an interest in it will be able to pull a class card during enrolment.
One professor said the purpose of a "soft" pre-enrollment was to allow the department to determine what courses should be offered the following semester.
Another type of pre-enrollment used by some schools at KU is a manual pre-
environment process that guarantees a student a place in a class he signs up for.
According to Hugh Cotton, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy, a pharmacy major consults with his adviser, during the last month of a semester. He selects courses for the pharmacy department and gives a time card to indicate the pharmacy courses he will take the next semester.
AT THE SAME TIME, the pharmacy major lists the supporting courses, such as chemistry, in which he wishes to enroll. Cotton said Friday that the other departments were then told by the school how to proceed. He expected the next semester, for those courses,
He also said he thought the time professors spent at Allen Field House during enrollment week was a waste of their time.
"PRE-ENROLLMENT WOULD be a lot easier than going through the hassle at Allen Field House," Linda Barket, Kansas City, Mp., sohombre said Sunday.
Cotton said that pharmacy students made very few changes in the courses for which they were taught.
The pharmacy school has used this system for six years.

Truckers Negotiate, Drop Kev Demand
By the Associated Press
Federal and state negotiators and representatives of striking independent truckers neared a compromise agreement with the company back to work, sources close to the talks said.
The sources that the truckers presented government mediators with an 11-point list of "minimum acceptable demands" last night, dropping their key demand for a rollback of diesel fuel prices, which had stalled the talks all day.
"The government seemed to be amenable to the proposal," one of the sources said. Pennsylvania Gov. Milton Shannon, who has been a candidate for the firm that there was a new proposal on the

These two financial points were intended to give the truckers immediate financial relief until Congress acts on proposed changes in government-regulated freight rates and some stabilization in fuel prices, the sources said.
White House Papers Show Milk Case Link
WASHINGTON (AP)—Documents released yesterday in connection with a Ralph Nader lawmaker show that Charles W. Hogan, the former governor about a 1971 Justice Department investigation of a dairy cooperative that was donating funds for President Nixon's re-election.
Colson said the antitrust investigation could have "very serious adverse con-
The investigation later was shifted from criminal to civil channels.
The documents also show that John W. Dean III, then the President's official lawyer, followed the progress of the antitrust investigation and prepared a report on
The documents also raise the possibility that White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldenman discussed the case with former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell.
THE DOCUMENTS are the first indication that White House officials took an active interest in the controversial antitrust case.
Previously it had been disclosed that Mitchell turned down repeated requests to join the military, to attend Milden, to learn a federal grand jury investigation of alleged illegal monopoly tactics used by the Associated Milk Producers, Inc. A civil suit was filed in connection.
The milk producers had promised to give $2 million to Nikon's re-election campaign, but the company refused.
McLaren's first request for a grand jury was sent to Mitchell Sept. 9, 1971, according to the former antitrust chief's sworn afdawfat. Fifteen days later Colson, then special counsel to the President, alerted Haldenman to the matter.

Ladies' Nights Out Out

Ladies' nights out are on their way out because of a ruling yesterday by the Kansas State University.
The commission ruled that bars that offer reduced prices on beer sold to women discriminate illegally on the basis of sex. The decision was in response to a challenge filed by Bill Quattnerie, Riverside, Ill., first year law student, and Mike Johnson, Kansas City; Mo., senior, against three Lawrence bars; the Bierstein, Tenn., Moe; the Mauldin, Houston, Hampshire St.; and the Stable 1301 W. 7th Hampshire St.; and the Stable 1301 W. 7th

McLaughlin said members of his committee were instructed to write letters to chairmen of departments and deans of schools to find out whether the required representation was present on their policy-making committees.
Buckley instructed RPR last spring to find out what all policy-making committees were observing the ruling and to enforce the rule where it wasn't be observed.

The committee compiled a list of nine departments that hadn't complied with the ruling, according to the investigation report.
Ted Uhlain, owner of the Mad Hatter,
declined to comment because the complaint
against his establishment hadn't been settled.
He said that he was dissatisfied with the work of the committee, but that he was happy with the efforts of the committee chairman, Rick McLaughlin, Dallas junior.

T. P. Srinivassen, professor of mathematics and chairman of the department, said that student representatives did go to committee meetings, but that the department had had trouble recruiting students to serve on those committees.
The other department heads also said that students serving on policy-making committees should be involved.
Donnelly said he thought the investigation was a waste of taxpayers' money because discrimination more monumental than the effort for women was being practiced elsewhere.

Donnelly also said he thought an investigator had been at the Malt Hatter twice.
Ace Johnson, owner of the Stable, said yesterday that he had agreed not to have ladies' nights unless there was a change in his team's strategy. His competitors started the practice again.
The Stable had special beer prices for women on Tuesday nights. Women could drink all the beer they wanted for 50 cents but men could drink all they wanted for $2.50.
Johnson said his establishment would stop offering special prices for women. He has agreed to offer the "aggrieved class" discount and to issue a public apology to them.

The Nixon administration, meanwhile, asked Congress to allow the Interstate Commerce Commission to speed approval of new regulations which would allow drivers to pass increased fuel costs on to the shipping companies they work for.
In Topeka, Atty. Gen, Vern Miller said late yesterday that truck stops which had quiet selling fuel to trucks along Interstate 70 were resuming sales.
Haldeman and Mitchell met periodically during this time to discuss political matters.
He said agents of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation were checking with operators of the truck stops to insure they receive no charges. The agency has trucks at train transporters who want, to block fuel sales.
The tentative compromise was worked out in private caucuses between W. J. Usery Jr., the federal government's top labor department, and chief negotiators for the truckers.
Miller said truck stops at Salina and elsewhere on the interstate were reopening late in the day after being assured law enforcement officials watched closely for threats of intimidation.
HOWEVER, THERE was no definite assurance that any agreement worked out here would be acceptable to independent truckers striking around the country.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL said about six to eight stations along the interstate had been closed.
Miller's announcement came shortly after Col. William Albott, superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, confirmed the arrest of the two officers in connection with the truckers' protest.
Abbot said a rock was thrown from an overpass and went through the windshield of a tractor-trailer truck on I-70 about 26 miles west of Topeka. He said it shattered the windshield on the passenger side of the cab but the driver escaped injury.
In an unprecedent public session, Senate-House conferences yesterday approved a proposal to roll back the price of some domestic crude oil.
Act Approved to Cut Crude Oil Prices
Senate Interior chairman, Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., author of the amendment, said administration by the estimated rollback would reduce the number of people who have to wait.
After the rollback to $2.25 a barrel, prices could be increased only as a result of higher costs and wouldn't in any case be allowed to exceed a ceiling
Tax Urged on Profits from Oil Price Hike
Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz yesterday urged Congress to enact a heavy tax that would cut wind profitoffs from the jumps in crude oil prices, saying that the tax had "cleared up" the supply.
Shultz took a firm stand, however, against a rollback in present crude oil prices. He also brushed off as outrageous suggestions that the United States should not pay for gas.
Nixon Subpoenaed in Ellsberg Case
President Nixon was officially subpoenaed yesterday by Superior Court Judge Roder Ringer to testify in the Ellsberg burglar case.
It was the first time in U.S. history that a state court judge had ordered personal testimony by a president.
The subpoena, requested by former presidential aide John D. Ehrlichman,
ordered the President to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom Feb. 25 and
arrest him.
The White House has said the President will resist the subpoena on constitutional grounds.
White House Still Considering Tape Request
The White House said yesterday that special Watergate prosecutor Leon Inworski's request for more tapes and documents was under consideration.
The matter will be discussed in confidential conversations between the offices of the White House counsel and the prosecutor very soon, Gerald L.
Jaworski said he expected a decision yesterday on his efforts to gain access to more White House material.
Britain's Coal Miners Vote to Strike
Eighty-one per cent of Britain's coal miners voted for a nationwide strike, and the union demanded that they said matter that the only thing that a strike was "more critical than a strike."
The stoppage may begin at midnight Saturday, but the union's 27-man high command is meeting in London today to consider timing in light of the storm.
Nixon Wants 30 More White House Lawyers
President Nixon is seeking appropriations to pay 30 more White House lawyers, as needed, to be added if necessary to the legal staff defending him at Watergate.
A request for funds for 30 unspecified White House jobs was contained in the fine print of the federal budget Nixon sent to Congress Monday.
The budget request didn't list proposed pay levels for the 30 potential new positions. Salaries for attorneys now on the White House legal staff range
