Convention Color
The end of Tuesday night's record 11-hour session, which came at 5:30 a.m. CDT Wednesday, left the delegates exhausted. Several of the lucky ones left for the hotel and some sleep after the convention had voted down the Wallace minority platform about 1 a.m., thinking the controversy was over. Alternates, a scarce commodity later on, were still plenty complaining; they were complaints about the session's length and the scheduling of events, but for the most part, the delegation took it in stride.
delegates were unanimous in their desire for an early ending for the remaining sessions. There has
been little time for relaxation since their arrival Sunday. Few Kansas delegates have had time to add to their sutans or enjoy Miami. As the issues are resolved on the conference floor the delegates have turned their thoughts to sightseeing, enjoying the remainder of the trip.

The average amount of sleep is three hours per day. Betty Jo Charlton and Dan Conyers, the two Douglas County delegates, said since the opening session Monday night they have been either in the convention hall or in their rooms at the hotel.

The old pro in the spipty white shoes held a one-man wake Tuesday night for the twilight of his era.
"McGovern and his people have succeeded in kicking out the old politicians, temporarily, and, it's the biggest mistake they even
made," said Presta. "But believe me, just because Dale in the video doesn't mean the oldtimer does not learn political machines have come to mind."
Social Circuit Slowed At Demo Convention
"We just need a little more oil, and we don't need to buy it from the warehouse. We know whose wife Millie was on the convention floor for the fourth floor."

"It's a different spread." It doesn't. House side in the Johnson administration and always a favored guest on the Washington rally.
It appears that the boopla and parties which sparked past Democratic conventions are passe this year.
Some Democrats speculate this week that the new convention, the new breed of delegates whose tastes run more to dungarees and peanut butter will make it easier for them.
"I looked for invitations and you know, there weren't any," said Mary Hoyt, press secretary for Mrs. George McGowen."And if there were, what would people do? That we're down here to party?"
Others figure the question is purely financial, another manifestation of the party's $9.3 million debt.
Mrs. Terry Sanford, wife of the president, sought the Democratic presidential nomination, said her father wasn't 'a full she'd expect'.
"I thought maybe I wasn't being invited to the parties, but it seems there aren't many," she said.

Convicted of liquor law violations in the 1930s, Presta is not able to vote or serve as a delegate.

Gynecologist Says Society Must Change Its Mores
From Kansan Press Services
LOS ANGELES — After 15 years as a agroecologist and doctor, Dr Boyo Cooper he knows
"I'm not a psychologist or a social worker," he says. "I'm a gyncologist. I see young women, and I know the problems which arise from living in a sexually permissive society."
And he thinks a society whose mores have canceled make provisions for some of the problems created.
HE WAS a leader of the movement for legalized abortion laws in California, where the laws were overturned.
Cooper, chairman of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, has written a book about some possible solutions, titled "Sex Without Tears."
The time-honored solution, of course, is the married marriage, but they never work," he said. "We are not obliged to take them."
He also thinks the government will have to provide child care centers for the offspring of single parents—whether they are single because their marriage ended or because it never took place.
"The best solution to unwanted pregnancies is to prevent them in the first place," he says. "But human beings don't always have the temperament to handle it well." They are always going to have unwanted pregnancies.
COOPER SAYS there are four ways to handle the problem—marriage, keeping the baby and bearing it without a father, giving it up for adoption, or abortion.
"Most illegitimate babies are adopted out, and that is a horrible emotional experience for a woman, one she never forgets. The woman who has an abortion goes to sleep, and when she wakes up the baby moves in her body who cries to full term feels the baby moving inside her body, sees it, touches it, and hears it.
"Then she gives it to another woman. That is a very different experience and there has got to be a belief."
"SOCIETY HAS subtle pressures on unwed mothers—the rejection by their parents, sending them away so the neighbors won't know. Life is never the same for these girls."
Cooper said rearing a child without marriage or very successful if the attitudes of our society are
"What we need is proper child care centers," he said.
Cooper envisioned government-subsidized children's centers throughout the nation to take care of the children of single women as well as children with careers and men who have to children alone.
"They would be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, although no child would be there all the time," he says. "The unwed mother could go there during her pregnancy to help and to be trained."
To raise a child alone in this society a woman needs to make $700 to $800 a month, and not many women make that much. That's why the centers need to be state-sponsored."
"The SINGLE woman rejects her child when it is too much of a burden. If she had a center where she could occasionally leave the child overnight while they were sleeping, then the hours with her child would be loving time."
"I didn't always feel that way," he said. "I am a Mormon and I had strong religious convictions about it. But I will come to realize that a procedure which takes five minutes to do and in no way permanently damages the woman is preferable to the emotional scarring from other so-called solutions."
Cooper said, "most women faced with an unwanted pregnancy should be aborted."
"If we did not such a big deal of it, if society didn't reject the woman who underwent an abortion, then it would be an even better way to resolve the problem than it is now."
MIAMI BEACH (AP)—A year ago, Deborah Denise Edison was fresh out of St. Patrick's High School in Parsons, Kan.
Monday night, she cast a full delegate vote at the Democratic National Convention, had her hand kissed by Julian Bond and held up her hand as crossing up a political pro like senate Sen. Harold Herd.
Kansas Delegate, 18, Casts Vote
Edison, 18, is black, intelligent and highly articulate.
SHE'S ALSO very interested in politics, but only as a worker, not as an office holder because "you just don't make enough money."
Her ambition is to get her doctore in clinical psychology, work with retarded children and, later, to work in prisons.
As a start toward her various goals, Miss Edison already has completed the equivalent of 1/4 years of college work, including a Bachelor's in Community Junior College in Parsons while still in high school.
She also has done volunteer work with retarded children and last summer worked as a cottage nurse in the State Hospital Training Center.
She plans to enroll at Pittsburg State College this fall as a second semester sophomore majoring in psychology.
SHE WAS elected the alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention at the 5th District convention in Fort Scott KY. She will be thrust into a delegate's role once she got to Miami Beach.
"I never dreamed I'd be doing this," Edison said Monday night. "I've always been interested in politics, but it was always so far."
"I'm having the time of my life. I just met Jalian Bond and he and I were very passionate about it, doxus. My heart is still pounding." **DISCOVERED** *and* **idolize** Jalian Bond*.
the Ikeana delegation elected her Monday to replace Betty Tullis of rural Chetopa, a delegate who broke a rib.
"However, there are funds available for that purpose through the Housing and Urban Development Agency," Hampton said. He added, "The Open Space Program should certainly be revitalized and made responsive to the inner city dweller's requirements for housing and public space." In FY 1973 budget proposal, the administration re-
EDISON SAID she idolized Bond, the young black Georgia legislator.
She's in favor of women's liberation "as far as jobs and equal opportunity go," but said she viewed the movement in one way that women were taking because "women are taking the jobs that would go to black men."
when you're my age and you're black, you need someone like that to show what you want can accomplish," she said.

Hampton said he emphasized conservationists were "in no way opposed to open space and outskirts" of the cores of American cities."
National park acquisition development of golf courses and swimming pools, the National Wildlife Federation said
A National Wildlife Federation spokesman said money from the already-deficient Fund was being raised by a number of needs. In recent Congressional testimony, Kenneth Hampton, NW Executive Liaison Officer, said the Fund should focus on the conservation of outdoor resources as "trees, flowers, wildlife, and streams and lakes—not golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, or parks," certainly not indoor facilities."
The Land and Water Conservation Fund, originally intended for the purchase of nearly all Federal and state natural resources, including national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, wild and scenic rivers, and scenic trails, is being increasingly set upon as a source for development of urban golf facilities, swimming pools, and tennis courts.
The Fund, set in 1965 at not less than $300 million annually, has not been able to keep pace with the growing demand for public education. At present, there is an estimated backlog of nearly 5 million acres to acquire at a projected cost of nearly 12 billion. Many of the proposed areas have already received Congressional authorization.
A pending Congressional proposal would open the LWC Fund up even by allowing indoor recreational facilities to be
quested only half of the funds authorized by Congress for the Open Space Program.
It wouldn't be surprising to see sauna baths and pool halls considered appropriate 'indoor recreation', not "not Hampton."
Many leading conservation authorities have charged that the Fund has been misused by many corporations, their portion into central cities.
The LWC Fund, administered by the Interior Department's Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, consists of monies derived from Federal recreation fees, sales of Federal recreation fees, and federal Federal motorboat fuel tax. States are entitled to an even bigger share of the Fund than the Federal government, up to 60 percent of the revenues on a 50-50
identical favorite
Monday night she first voted with the pro-MeGovern forces on the challenge of the South Carolina delegation, then reversed herself, as far as Herd was conceded, although he wasn't upset, and voted against the McGovern faction on the California challenge.
"SHIRLEY CHISHOLM is ready, but the country isn't," Edison said.
"I think she's well-equipped to handle things, but it will be several decades before the country is ready."
Edison's father is a fur buyer and her mother owns a Parsons clothing shop for which Mrs. Edison and Deborah both make the clothes, a venture that started as a hobby.
For all the heart pounding caused by Julian Bond, Edison married marriage was not for her.
"I've got too many horizons to seek first," she said. "Maybe after about 50 years I'll be ready."
