Pari-mutuel resolution passes Senate gate
By MICHAEL TOTTY
TOFKEA — Pari-mutual bet on horse and dog racing started strong out of the gate yesterday after a coalition of urban and rural lawmakers in the Kansas Senate approved a resolution that would allow Kansans to vote on the issue.
Staff Reporter
The Senate voted 29-11 — two more than the necessary two-thirds majority to approve the proposed amendment to the Constitution. The vote counted the option to permit part-mutual wagering.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, voted against the resolution. He said the state already faced problems with the regulation of mailboxs, but he would be even greater with part-mutual betting.
"I have no personal hang-up with allowing people to gamble on horses," Winter said. "My opposition was based on the problems
WINTER TWO YEARS ago served as chairman of a subcommittee of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee examining the regulation of non-profit bingo, the only kind permitted by the state constitution.
we saw with the enforcement of church-
basement bingo."
He said reports by the Kansas Bureau of investigation indicated that organized crime involved a large number of people.
"If we have problems with church-basement bingo in respect to the involvement of organized crime," Winter said, "you can imagine the problems we'd have with a multi-million dollar operation like parimutuel racing."
In pari-mutuel betting, the winners divide among themselves the total amount wagered, minus track expenses and the winner's purse. Each winner then receives an amount in proportion to the amount he or she wagered.
IF APPROVED BY the House of Representatives and signed by Gov. John Carlin, the resolution would send the gambling amendment to Kansas voters in the 1986 general election. A simple majority would permit pari-mutuel racing in counties that approved the amendment, but only when conducted by legitimate, non-profit organizations.
Support for the measure came from urban lawmakers, who argued that pari-mutu wagering would bring extra revenue to the state. Rural legislators said pari-mutu wagering on horses racing would bring many businesses to create a new market for agricultural products.
State Sen. Edward Reilly, R-Leavenworth, introduced the resolution. He cited a study by a Wichita State University professor that indicated the state could receive $47 million in annual tax revenues from pari-mutuel betting.
THE SAME STUDY suggested parimut betel could generate $302 million in
personal income each year and provide 13,000 year-round jobs.
"We are virtually surrounded by states who permit pari-mutuel wagering on horse or dog racing." Reilly said. "It's both sad and ironic that in a state which is the fifth largest quarterhorse producer in the nation and the greyhound capitol of the world that we cannot enjoy the sport as do our neighbors.
"For too long we have boosted the economies of our sister states with Kansas
But State Sen. Norma Daniels, D-Valley Center, questioned whether the money from pa-mutuel wagering would be money earned in the state, or taken from business within Kansas.
Winter also questioned the economic development arguments.
"it's been held out as a panacea for the state's revenue problems," he said, "and it is not."
Nude models barely mind line of work
By ANN PETERSON Staff Reporter
A man slowly undresses in a classroom. Although most of the class members recognize him as a student they have seen in the halls and on campus, no one is embarrassed, no one cracks a joke, no one even blushes.
For fine arts majors, drawing nude models in the classroom is something they do almost every day. For the models, posing nude is simply part of a job they need and enjoy.
Mike Grothusen, St. Joseph, M., freeshman, is one of about six models employed by the School of Fine Arts. He said yesterday that most of the models posed nudge because they needed the $4.50 an hour the school paid them.
He said he needed the extra money for school and found nude modeling preferable to real life.
Amy Raymond, St. Louis freshman, completes her sketch as Raymond and the other students belong to Professor Richard Gillespie, art professor, consults with other students. Gillespie's Introduction to Drawing II class.
THE MODELS POSE for three to four hour periods three times a week. Several drawing classes, including Introduction to Drawing I, Art Basic Studies 101; and Introduction to Drawing II, Art Basic Studies 102 use the models.
Grothusen, a fine arts major, said he had no questions about扮像 nude, although though he didn't wear it, the makeup
"I had never drawn aude model before and then this year I started drawing one and two."
Amy Raymond, St. Louis freshman and fine arts major, said drawing the naked body helped students capture the human balance. She explained and see how the bones and curves fit together.
GROTHUSEN SAID HE usually got one of two reactions from people when he told them he made $4.50 an hour for modeling in the nude.
"They either say, 'I wouldn't do it even if
they say, 'I wouldn't do it.' I can believe
they pay you a fee."
The models pase in the center of the room, on a chair, a table, or sometimes a mattress, for a game.
"The models deserve a lot of credit," Gino Polizotto, Manhattan Beach, Calif., junior and architectural major, said. "And not just makes a lot of gifts, but because it is hard work."
SOME OF THE models said they had other reasons besides money for modeling nude.
For example, many of the models are fine arts students and enjoy sitting in on classes, listening to students' comments and looking at the drawings students make of them, one model said.
Another model, Tamara Scott, Louisburg sophomore, said, "I don't know if I'd model if I wasn't getting paid, but it makes me feel
classically beautiful. It's artistic, not a sexual thing."
SCOTT SAID SHE didn't like posing for classes that got embarrassed when she modeled for a drawing. She said that she had to talk to the students while she was posing.
Polizotto said that the younger students sometimes got embarrassed but that they soon became too caught up in their work to think of anything else.
Physics instructor beaten in Mallott Hall bathroom
A physics teaching assistant was treated and released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital yesterday after he apparently was taken to the hospital, where he in a second-floor bathroom of Malott Hall.
Rodney Schoonover, the teaching assistant and Overland Park park senior, was treated for superficial cuts and a strained neck and shoulder, training, a hospital spokesman said yesterday.
As of last night, KU police had no suspects,
longer, department spokesmen.
Schoonover, who teaches Physics 114,
College Physics I, said he was in a bathroom
stall shortly before his 8:30 a.m. class when
he fell asleep and he was hit in the head with a large book.
"We really don't have any more information than the description of what harmed" it said.
"Before I knew anything, I'm hit in the head with a big, black reference book," he said. "I kind of blacked out and then tried to get up and saw that he had cut me."
He said his attacker was a white male with black hair. The attacker was missing two limbs.
He said he did not recognize the man who had attacked him and could not think of a motive for the attack. Neither money nor personal property was stolen.
Schoonover said he could not remember anything else about the man because he had never been in contact with him.
Schoonover said that after the attacker had left the bathroom, Schoonover staggered to the elevator. Police were called when he dropped his cellphone and a astronomy office on the first floor of Malott.
"He was coherent but somewhat in shock," Elaine Vick, a clerk in the office, said.
