Betting on the horses may become legalized
Racetrack buffs, now forced to journey to Nebraska or Arkansas to bet on the ponies, may not have to go to Tepea or Kannas City in the future.
That is, if the Kansas Quarterhorse Racing Association has its way.
Diane "Pete" McGill, former Kansas House Speaker and chief lobbyist for the Kansas Quartermaster Corps, is leading efforts to ballot a constitutional amendment to legalize pari-mutuel betting on horse racing. Hearings on the issue are now being held in the federal and State Affairs Committee.
Lawrence's city commissioners, faced with a possible source of city and county revenue. The mayor, enthusiasm yesterday about McGill's efforts.
"It's an interesting idea," Mayor Ed Carter said. "We need to study it further to figure out all the possible possible infiltration by organized crime, and
how much revenue racing will produce. It could make a good piece of money for the county."
"People are always going to gamble," Commissioner Don Binns said. "We may as well get some of the revenues generated."
Duane Fudge, vice chairman of the Nebraska Racing Association, said that betting produced about $8 million in revenues for the state last year. Nebraska's tracks are run by non-profit organizations, and after all expenses were paid, each county made about $3,000. Fudge said.
Under Nebraska's system, the state receives 5 percent of all track revenues. Five percent goes to cover bets, and 5 percent goes to the non-betting counties. The remaining 85 percent is divided among the counties.
Although not opposed to parimutuel betting, Commissioner Marci Francisco was the least enthusiastic about the proposal.
"If the majority of the people here want it. fine," she said.

Low-interest renovation loans may help students
By PAM HOWARD Staff Reporter
Some heavily student-populated neighborhood may get a facelift if the Lawrence Housing Authority is succeed in its attempt to secure federal funds.
the housing authority's proposed program, David Murrell, executive director of the housing authority, said, "We want to give rentals property with at least five units in four Lawrence neighborhood. These neighborhoods are the Oread neighborhood, Old West Lawrence, Fear East and the Pickney neighborhood.
A proposal will be submitted to Housing and Urban Development by March 6, demonstrating Lawrence's suitability for a program, "Small Multifamily Rental Rehabilitation," Murrell said.
The program would be aimed at older homes that had been converted into apartments. August Dettbarn, an attorney for the housing authority said.
Murrell said that many of these homes were more than 40 years old and needed new plumbing and other repairs.
Under the program, property owners could apply for low interest rate loans.
Murrell said that the program would definitely affect students since there were a lot of homes in the Oread neighborhood in need of rehabilitation. Mount Oread is informally dubbed "the student shetto."
stipulation that a small percentage of their units would be set aside for low income housing or made suitable for handicapped living.
Dettathn said the program would also be helpful because it would bring more families into predominately student neighborhoods.
"It will strengthen the neighborhood."he said.
Jeff Southard, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said that ONA favored the proposed program.
"We're in favor of anything that'll rehabilitate the existing housing stock in the Oread rather than tearing it down in putting up four-plexes, 'Southard said.
By upgrading the existing homes, rather than replacing them, Southern said that several options for future use would be left open. A home could be converted from apartments to a duplex or to a single family home.
If the proposal is approved, one or two rental properties would be used to demonstrate the program. Work on the property would begin in August.
If the demonstrations proved successful, property owners would be solicited to participate in the program.

The menstrual cycles of women who room together or who are close friends tend to synchronize, according to a study of 81 KU students.
The findings by David Quadagno, professor of physiology and cell biology, confirm two other studies, one conducted at an all women's college and one at a ce-educational college.

The previous research showed that pairs of women synchronize their menstrual cycles.

"We have showed that synchronization occurs in groups of three and four." Guadarró said.

Quadagno said he and two students collected the data by distributing questionnaires to halls, sororites and aunts.
The complete results will be published in the Journal of Psychoneurodocrinology, according to Quadagno.
They found that with close friends and roommates, the difference in onset of the menstrual flow decreased significantly from October 1980 to 1984 nor no significant synchronization among randomly grouped women.
Quadagno said that he was planning to continue the research
Quadagno said most, but not all, animals showed estrous synchrony. In an estrous cycle, the hormonal fluctuations are manifested in the going into heat rather by a menstrual flow at the end of the cycle.
"The ultimate question is what does menstrual synchronization represent," he said.
and that he was waiting for a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health.
"Future research will study those women who have suppressed hormone levels, such as women on oral contraceptives, to see whether they affect other women's cycles," he said.
Quadagno said it was tempting to draw parallels between menstrual synchronization in humans and estrous synchronization in animals.
"I'd like to figure out the physiological cause for synchronization and understand it," he said.
"The main advantage of having estrous cycles synchronized would be that births are synchronized," he said. "Young born at the birth peak have the greatest chance of survival."
Most chemical communication about an animal's reproductive state is hormone dependent, he said.

JOHN MORRELL DIDN'T BECOME A TRAINEE AFTER COLLEGE. HE BECAME A MANAGER.
"As Executive Officer of the Army's Defense Language Institute at Monterey, California, I'm responsible for the housing, feeding and well-being of 500 students. And that's no small task. I manage an annual food budget of over a million and a half dollars. And I'm accountable for five million dollars worth of property.
"I always wanted to do something that would allow me to have a constructive impact on people's lives," says John. "That's why I became an Army officer. This way, I'm both a leader and a manager."
"On top of managing money, I also supervise a staff of 24 people. And each one has unique problems that I have to handle on a daily basis. You better believe the leadership and management training I received in Army ROTC is paying off."

There are other good reasons for taking ROTC, too. Like scholarship opportunities. And financial assistance—up to $1,000 a year for your last two years of ROTC.
Taking Army ROTC is a great way to prepare for being an Army officer. In ROTC, you develop poise, stamina and self-confidence—the three trademarks of an Army officer.
But most ROTC graduates will agree that the best reason is the commission you'll earn along with your college degree.
So if you want a job after college that offers real challenge and real responsibility, do what John Morrell did. Take Army ROTC.
And begin your future as an officer.
ARMY ROTC.
BE ALL YOU CAN BE.
