drink, the Rev. Richard Taylor, spokesman for Kansans for Life at its Best; could find a measure of victory in the Legislature's action.

"This is a drug problem, the number one drug problem. It's a compliment to the Legislature that they would not allow it to sail through wide open."
But not everyone supported the compromise. State Rep Betty Jo Charlton D-Lawrence, who was counted as a supporter of liquor by the drink early in the session, voted no each time the resolution came before the House, including Saturday.
"This is the worst one yet," Charlton said. "They've put temporary permits in the constitution."
Besides the liquor resolution, legislators also approved the drinking age bill and measures to toughen laws against drunken
driving, to crack down on underage drinking and to ban drinking promotions such as happy hours and all-you-can-drink specials.
The bill would phase in the drinking age increase over two years. It would raise the drinking age for 3.2 percent beer to 19 starting July 1. Those born after July 1, 1966, then would have to wait to buy beer until they turned 21.
The drinking age bill was a response to a federal mandate for all states to have a drinking age of 21 by Oct. 1, 1986. States that did not accept it have a portion of their federal highway aid
Under the drinking age bill, Kansas would face a nine-month delay in receiving the withheld highway funds. The state would get the money within 2015, those born in or before 1966 have reached 21.
The drinking age bill passed by the Legislature included a provision that would return the drinking age to 18 if Washington revoked its mandate. A court challenge to the federal law is pending.
Shuttle continued from p. 1
performed by astronauts David Griggs and Jeffrey Hoffman. Williams, Discovery commander Karol Bokko, arm operator Rhea Seddon, civil engineer Charles Walker and Sen. Jake Garn, R-Utah, would remain in the cabin.
Earlier, officials considered putting either Griggs or Hoffman on the end of the robot arm and have him reach out with a 10-inch. Extended grip is also on the side of the 14-foot diameter satellite.
SYNCOM, OWNED by Hughes Communications and insured by U.S. and British underwriters, remained about 50 miles from the shuttle as the two crafts circled the Earth at more than 17,000 mph in an orbit ranging from 192 to 236 miles high.
Meanwhile, NASA said the Canadian Telesat communications satellite launched from the shuttle Friday had performed a successful mission and had reached its final stationary orbit.
Before the astronauts were directed to proceed with the rendezvous plan, Garn, speaking on the radio link to Earth for the first time since Discovery's blastoff Friday.
appeared in onboard television show and said, "It's great up here."
"I knew sooner or later we'd hear from him," said Kathine Garn, who watched her husband's television appearance on monitors at the Kennedy Space Center.
ELECTRODES WERE attached to the head of the "congressional observer" to monitor brain waves and Seddon, a physicist who carried out action in weightlessness with ultrasound.
"It's a big heart," he said. "I've been trying to convince my wife and family of that for years."
A space walk — if there is one — would be performed tomorrow, the astronauts were told. But an attempt to activate the lever would not be made until Wednesday. That would mean Discovery would not land in Florida until Friday — two days later than planned.
If the Syncom cannot be saved during the current mission, officials said it might be possible to send another shuttle crew up after it later this year.
Entrikin continued from p.1
members had unanimously refused to accept Entrikin's resignation. Classified Senate rules state that the Council can refuse the president's resignation as part of parliamentary procedure, but that the president can override the ruling and still resign.
"We did not wish for her to leave." Patterson said. "She has our unanimous support."
Patterson said Classified Senate would continue with "business as usual." One of the major issues for Classified Senate is the pay plan. Members of the Senate lobby in the Kansas Legislature each year to ensure classified employees' interests are represented.
Classified employees do not have much of a pay plan now, Patterson said. They are on a different advancement plan than unclassified employees, such as faculty members, who work at KU for many years often don't get the pay increases they should, he said.

A TRIBUTE TO THE COMFORTABLE BUT COUNTERPRODUCTIVE GOVERNMENTAL BLIMP
By refusing to let me speak during the time designated for citizen input at the City Commission's April 2nd discussion of the Stewart Street Bash, Mayor Angino and Commissioner Longhurst taught me a lesson that many Lawrencians already have learned. This lesson--that some elected officials don't wish to hear what the electorate thinks-is probably the reason two of every three registered voters sat out the recent election. Many of these disenchanted Lawrencians might have remembered how Commissioner Longhurst directed, with Mayor Angino's enthusiastic support, Lawrence's disgraceful flight from an out-of-town firm with developmental experience which had spent thousands of dollars preparing to develop our downtown to an unqualified local entity so lacking in confidence it hadn't even entered the heralded developer competition.
Other uninterested registered voters undoubtedly have been and still are being created by the City Commission and Lawrence Police Department's unwillingness to respond to the frequent displays of disorder at the Hillcrest Shopping Center for which many young men are responsible on the warmer evenings. Drag racing at high rates of speed, prolonged verbal harassment of visitors, wanton destruction of property, both attempted and effected break-ins, and countless fights, one of which in November involved approximately 50 males, are just some of the disruptions the governmental blimp's occupants apparently find acceptable.
While those within this publicly-funded airship floating serenely overhead consume public resources looking hither and yon for successful businesses that might be persuaded to locate here, several Hillcrest Shopping Center merchants continue paying their taxes and enduring a state of affairs which has brought them both higher insurance rates and fewer customers. If that governmental blimp were permanently grounded, perhaps its occupants would listen more closely to those who elected them to solve such problems as the ones festering at Hillcrest and on Stewart Avenue.
