from the University was one option that possibly could save the center.
"We won't close our doors if the University doesn't decide to draw on reserve sources to save the center," he said. "But the University will lose quite a mark of distinction if they don't decide to."
MIKELSON SPECULATED that the reason KUD did not get its grant renewed
was a failure by the department to replace faculty who had retired or quit.
renewal is based on the materials that each university submits. Other universities who currently do not receive grants also may submit applications.
Federal financing for the different international centers around the country is evaluated every three years by the Department of Education. The decision for
"Of course it's hard to know this early what exactly kept us from getting the grant," he said. "But I know they look closely at whether a university replaces retiring faculty. And we haven't replaced them on several occasions."
The Department of Education, however, did not rescue KU's additional annual federal grant of nearly $40,000 for the center's graduate study fellowships. This money has been allocated in the form of scholarships to graduate students to do research on the Soviet Union and East European countries.
LAWMAKERS HAD HOPED to speed the measures through both houses, but their plan bogged down when some House members —
If the liquor by the drink resolution fails to receive the necessary two-thirds majority in both chambers, Carlin could veto the rule and punken driving and underage drinking bills.
both supporters and opponents of liquor by the drink — balked at the conference committee's plans.
After passing the tougher drunken driving bill, the House decided to wait before debating the underage drinking bill and the state's law that enables legislation for limbor by the drink.
The conference committee agreed to hold the liquor resolution until Carlin signed or agreed to sign the bill that included the enabling provisions for liquor by the drink.
Barkis said he expected the vote on the liquor resolution in the House to be close. One vote that supporters of the resolution might gain is that of State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence. Charlton voted against the measure in its first appearance in the House.
House Minority Leader Marvin Barkis, D.Loussburg, said that House members were concerned with the way the package was being pushed through the House.

Charlton said she still had not decided how she would vote, but the conference committee's action had made it more likely that she would vote for the resolution.
"I haven't made up my mind yet," Charlton said.

NEW YORK — The U.S. Department of Agriculture said yesterday that circus animals billed as "unicorns" are really just goats that probably had an operation to fuse their horns but added, "if you want to surrender to whimsy, then they're unicorns."
Dr. Gerald Toms, head of the USDA's Veterinary Service for New York state in Albany, made the announcement after agents inspected the animals the night before at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at Madison Square Garden.
Toms said that when the goats were kids they probably had the buds of their natural horns moved to the center of the skull and the jaw became pressure and ended up with a single, fused horn.
"Genetically they're goats," Toms said. USAID in Washington added that the animals were best kept.
Cruelty to Animals, refused to drop criticism of the circus for displaying the animals, and called the operation "surgical malice"
But John Kullberg, president of the New York American Society for the prevention of
"Let's get off the rose petal and moonbeam kick and talk about whether we can do anything in the name of entertainment to animals?" he asked. "Is it a unicorn today, a cyclops tomorrow and maybe a Pegasus the next day? It's a major ethical question."
Kullberg said the animal anti-cruelty group was asking for a boycott of the circus. He said the group would move to strengthen legislation "so the public will have insurance that animals won't be taken advantage of."
The circus took out a full-page advertisement in the New York Times yesterday to defend its star attraction.
The ad quoted recent reviews of the circus and, in the best P. T. Barnum manner, threw in a line from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass":
Well, now we have seen each other,' said the unicorn. 'If you believe in me, I will believe in you. Is that a bargain?' "
