New state paraphernalia bill contested
By JILL M. YATES
Staff Represent
Staff Reporter
Federal action against a law that prohibits the sale of paraphernalia in Kansas is scheduled to begin today at the Federal District Court in Wichita.
JAMES M. SMITH, Denver, attorney for the plaintiffs, said the law was too gage and gave in power "the ability to enforce the law on their own subjective whims."
The law, which went into effect yesterday, is being challenged by the Kansas Retail and Trade Cooperative, a group representing several regional stores that sell paraphernalia.
He said the law was unconstitutional and violated the doctrines of this nation. "You can take anything and make it a crime to even think about it, if you want."
Smith is trying to find out what paraphernalia
is under this law, he said. The term was not defined at all and numerous articles could be said to fit into the category labeled under such a vague name.
"The ultimate question here is, what is paraphernaalis," Smith said. "If I don't know what it is, how is a police officer going to know what it is?"
AT THE HEARING scheduled for today, Smith said these constitutional issues would be discussed. In addition, he said the law was a set of permanent rights, and this would also be discussed.
"If anyone even advertises certain products, it is considered against the law." Smith said.
Smith said he considered this a major First Amendment issue that violated freedom of the press. He was attempting to get the law restrained pending further hearing.
"We're going to fight this thing all the way to the top," he said.
IF THE LAW REMAINS in effect, many stores
will go out of business. Smith made a sharp distinction between what he said had been commonly known as a paraphernalia shop and a variety of goods including paraphernalia.
Mike Glover, city attorney, said Lawrence was affected by the state law and a local ordinance.
"The local ordinance prohibits the sale, display or transfer of paraphernalia to minors." Glover said. "The new state law prohibits sale to adults."
Stores in Lawrence that sell these goods may be greatly affected if the laws remain unchanged, but store owners were unavailable or unwilling to comment.
Glover said stores in Lawrence would still be allowed to display paraphernalia, pending the decision of the court hearing, but paraphernalia could not be sold.
Budig promotes KU throughout Kansas
By MARTHA BRINK Staff Reporter
Chancellor-designate Gene Budig is a traveling man.
NOW HE IS traveling in Kansas, even though he will not officially become chancellor until August1.
As president of the University of West Virginia he averaged three nights a week on the road, traveling throughout the state. In his four years there he visited all 55 counties at least twice.
For the next two weeks he will meet with lecturers, media representatives and alumni in Beijing.
Part of Budig's program is to get the people of the state interested in the needs of the University of Pittsburgh.
"In my judgment it is important to get to the sense of the state," he said. "I feel a gemmian sense."
Budgl plans to describe KU's needs to the citizens and to find out how the University can be better.
"I am anxious to build as many bridges for the institution as possible," he said. "I would hope that the trip would underscore my concern and sincerity."
Budget outlined his method for winning citizen support: "What one does is relate the activities of the University with the social and economic aspects of their lives," he said.
Another area that benefits citizens is the activities of a university medical center, he said.
Budid said that after establishing the role of the University in every citizen's life, it is essential to make clear the need for a well-paid faculty.
"I will explain the importance of the University to them, pointing out that it will remain viable only with strong faculty and staff," he said. "Without reasonable support we will not have the type of people needed to render quality service to the state."
KU officials are hoping Budig's trip will rally support for the University's budget requests
"We especially hope to get help for the proposed increase of faculty and staff salaries," Richard Von Ende, executive secretary for the Chancellor's office, said.
B budig's travel program worked well in West Virginia, observers said. His program primarily helped build a good rapport with state legislators and increased state pride in the university.
Similar to KU, the University of West Virginia is geographically isolated from much of the state. Because the university is located in the far west, it is surrounded by a range of rivers to one of the other 13 colleges and universities.
According to West Virginia State Sen. William Moreland, D-Morgantown, Budig's traveling helped people all across the state feel like a part of the university.
"The southern part of the state knows where the university is now," he said. "It helped minimize sectionalism. He has done a remarkable job of talking to local people about university needs, and his program has born fruit."
The Rev. Paul J. Gilmer, president of the West
Virginia Board of Regents, also thinks Bung increased state pride in the university.
THROUGH HIS travels Budig visited many rural communities, Glimer said. Rural high school students from these areas had not often been to the university. Because of Budig's travels, its more information about the university and its grant programs reached the students.
whether the students:
"Now many of these students are enrolled."
he said.
This has shown the people that the university is open to all citizens, Gilmer said.
Budig's travel program is a "real winner," Glimer said.
"He went out there and developed pride. He indicated his interest in a growing university and made it clear he needed participation from all citizens."
Seer Sebel Farnsworth, former president or
managing editor of Budis's travels were
"intelligent effects."
They translated into the kind of support from the citizenry needed for proper funding the university.
Early in his administration Budig also made efforts to meet with legislators throughout the state. His extensive travels impressed the leaders.
THE REGENTS WERE pleased with the law made unintended, Buds, especially in the public school district.
"He wasn't an almighty dispenser of wisdom and justice sitting up on a pedestal," he said. "He was down mixing up with the people."

When Mrs. Gene Budig walked into the chancellor's house yesterday afternoon, she found sheets of dusty plastic covering the carpets, discolored paint in some rooms, and a section of the living room wall torn away that exposed water pipes.

BECAUSE OF THE early move, the facilities operations personnel did not have the time to complete the maintenance work they had already started.
Anderson said the work being done on the inside, which included putting in new water pipes, repairing steam lines and painting the walls, was an inventive maintenance that was long overdue.
"We knew that they were doing some work on the house." Budig said. "We were the ones who forced the early move, so I am not upset at all."
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said that the work should be conducted in a controlled manner.
She said she was not surprised.
"The money we are spending is normal
operation from the facilities
operation budget." he added.
Anderson said the Budgs had requested no additional improvement not alreadd
"We had scheduled about three weeks for the construction of our new furniture would in that event be," he said.
BUDIG SAID EVEN though they knew that the house was not finished they decided to remodel it.
For one thing, her son Christopher, 16,
wrote in a letter that played on the
American Legion baseball team.
"I would have stayed in West Virginia longer but I didn't feel comfortable leaving Chris in Lawrence another two weeks," Budig said.
She also needed to come early to enroll her daughter Mary Frances, 14, in driver training.
The moving date had always been tentative but these considerations made it necessary to

Bucky Cox is joined by his stepfather and coach, Ray Foster, on a run through Landry Cameraman Carlos Fernandez and audio engineer Glen Anderson, both freelancers from Topeka for Landsburg productions, record the run for "That's Incredible." The program will air a story on Bucky next fall. Bucky is an 8-year-old marathon runner.
8-year-old Lawrence runner filmed for "That's Incredible"
The dream of a lifetime came true yesterday for Bucky Cox of Lawrence when the crew from ABC television's "That's incredible" filmed him preparing for a July 4 marathon.
"I'm really excited about it." Bucky said. "It's one of my favorite programs."
Bucky has run in 14 marathons and runs between ten and twenty-six miles on an average day.
On television is old to bury to Bucky, 8, but is nonetheless fun. He was on NBC's "Today" show last October, on the "CBS Evening News" with Katie Couric and on NBC's "Kid's World," the same year.
He and his mother, Joni Maxwell, 1121 Vermont St. flew to Minneapolis, Minn. to appear on a local television show in 1979. A half hour of this show was included in the "World," devoted an entire show to Bucky.
"We were really excited about the 'Today' show," Ray Foster, Bucky's stepfather and trainer, said. "But what eight-year-old likes the 'Today' show?"
"This is great. That's Incredible!" is one of the shows he goes out of his way, watch他, he does it.
Early yesterday a film crew and director
Earli Elanjaj set up cameras and lighted to
film.
"That's Incredible" uncovered Bucky's story while sifting through thousands of newspapers, according to one of their research department spokesmen.
"Bucky is beginning to place in his age bracket in the races he runs," his mother said. "He's really up for the Rockford, III. Fourth of July Marathon."
Using sophisticated cameras and a storyboard improvised from two boards with a tablet attached, the crew filmed Bucky getting out of bed and doing his 26 mile training run.
"I think this experience will give Bucky added incentive to continue his running," said Wayne Ossney, Chairman of KU's Department of health, physical education and recreation.
Osness had known Bucky before he began running four years ago. Bucky's parents took

Fireworks display in limbo
This year's 27th annual fireworks display in the KU Memorial Stadium, sponsored by the Lawrence Jaycees, may be the last one, Rick Gervis, of three Jaycees vice presidents, said Tuesday.
By TIM ELMER Staff Reporter
Last year the Jaycees lost $2,000 on the fireworks display because more people sat on the hill below the Campanile than in the stadium, Bellinger said.
"IF PEOPLE STI on the hill again this year and we lose money, it will probably be the last year we will sponsor the display," Bellinger said.
Steve Figuiers, another of the Jayces' vice president, told thousands of people sat on the biltout.
"If you can visualize the entire hill being filled with people, you can get an idea of the problem."
People have always gathered on the hill to watch the display, Figueras said, but now it has
gotten out of hand. Last year was the first year the Jaycees lost money on the display, he said.
Figuineras the Jayces passed a hat around on the hill last year but collected less than 10 percent.
He said the fireworks display was funded entirely through the sale of tickets.
"People don't realize that we pay for the display with the money from the ticket sales," Figuera said. "They must think that somebody is paying for money and we do it. It doesn't work well."
BECAUSE OF THE Clinton Lake dedication last year, the Jaycees also sponsored a fireworks display. They spent $21,000 and took in only $10,000 to fill the biller, chapter management-vice president. said king.
This year, expenses will total about $10,000.
Miller said. About $3,000 will be spent on
advertising, $6,000 on fireworks and $1,000 for
University support personnel.
The price of tickets was reduced 50 cents this year in an effort to encourage more people to watch the display from inside the stadium, Miller said.
