Drinking continued from p. 1
"State Sen. Ed Reilly Jr., R-Leavenworth and chairman of the Federal and State Affairs Committee, said he would not have had ordered a bill to give the federal government did not order the change.
"We have to swallow hard and see that the mandate is there — it's 21 or else," he said. "Reilly said Kansas would lose more than $17 million in federal highway funds if the age was not raised by the July 1, 1986, deadline.
FUNDS THAT would be withheld from any state that did not raise its drinking age still would be granted after the age was raised. Reilly said, however, that the state wouldn't receive any interest on the money that was withheld.
"The issue is really the misuse of federal
power." he said. "Raising the drinking age belongs at the state level, not at the federal level."
He said the impact of the federal mandate would be felt by more than just 18- to 20-year-olds. Businesses would have to change, and some might be forced to close. The loss of tax dollars from the businesses would affect the state.
would state the State Sen. Frank Gaines, D-Augusta, made a motion to reject all the amendments that were later approved, except one that would allow 18-year-olds to work in private clubs and restaurants that sell liquor, and another amendment that would put a 10 percent excise tax on beer sold in private clubs.
GAINES SAID HE thought that the other amendments weren't needed and that they
only did more to promote drinking in the state. His motion failed, 13-26.
The remaining amendments that were added to the bill included a provision that would permit a 3.2 percent beer distributor to distribute wine to liquor stores.
Also included were several amendments that would liberalize the sale of beer and liquor. One of them would allow beer to be sold on p.m. on Sundays in all businesses except liquor stores.
Beer and hard liquor would be allowed to be sold on election days by any business. Under current law, only private clubs are allowed to sell liquor on election days.
Another amendment was added to allow the sale of beer at conventions and concerts on Sundays.
MX continued from p.1
REPUBLICAN LEADER Robert Dole of Kansas, delivering the administration's final plea before a packed Senate gallery, said that rejecting the missile would be "in effect making concessions in the U.S. Senate that will probably lead to more requests for more concessions" from Soviet negotiators in Geneva.
Geneva, Switzerland, while also bolstering U.S. security.
But "by sending the right signal," he said, the Senate could make the work of the U.S. negotiators "a lot easier."
Missile opponents argued right to the end, with Gary Hart, D-Coole, insisting the missile
"in its present basing mode leaves this country less secure."
Setting the new MX in aging Mineman-3 silos, he argued, "will escalate the possibility of nuclear war" because "in a period of crisis it becomes a stick of dynamite."
Afterwards, Hart attributed the loss of MX opponents to Reagan's lobbying and the start of arms talks.
of articles this.
"The vote today would have gone the other way were it not for the talks in Geneva," he said.

SEN. BARRY GOLDWATER, R.Ariz.
Armed Services Committee chairman,
termed the outcome "a vote to show people

all over the world that we have confidence in whatever our commanding officer wants to do. Without the Geneva conference going on, I have some doubts it would have passed."
The margin of victory was wider than most surveys had forecast. One sign of the administration's apprehension was that Vice President George Bush presided over the session in his vote was needed to break a tie, as it was last year.
Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd backed Reagan on the vote, but later told reporters that he considered the administration's rhetoric "overly hyped."
costs well below normal. The house was built for $250,000.
THE DREAM BECAME a reality on a rainy day in 1959. Pledges providing an umbrella escort service shuttled visitors, KU officials and faculty up the winding steep driveway to view the fraternity house for the first time.
"I'll never forget that day," said Dave Hammond, who was 1886 in 1858. "Everyone was drenched."
The structure, which graced a three-acre tract overlooking the intersection of Ninth Street and Emery Road, consisted of two separate structures. The first was a three-story study tower composed of six stud rooms, showers, and three sleeping dorms. The second structure was a four-story building, which contained the main entrance, house mother's quarters, living room, dining room, kitchen, library and chapter room. A double-level terrace, patio, pond and waterfall separated the two buildings.
A ROOFTOP GARDEN and a penthouse used for social events highlighted the fraternity house.
But the dream collapsed like a house of cards.
An anti-greek attitude dominated the University of Kansas in the late '60s and early '70s, crippling many sororities and fraternities.
Theta Chi fraternity lost its KU chapter
and its house in 1972 because of declining membership and loss of funds.
Five years ago, the fraternity recolonized at KU and was recognized as an active chapter by the national organization in 1983. Also that year, members moved into a new house at 1011 Missouri St.
Ever since the house was repossessed, it has passed like a hot potato from one owner to the next. Once again, it is for sale.
"I'S KIND OF sad," said Jack Dunbair, a Theta Chi alumnus who lived in the fraternity. "I hate to feel anything for an inanimate object, but I had a lot of good times there. It's sad to see an abandoned hulk."
About five years ago, Bob Moore, the present owner, bought the property from a savings and loan association and planned to convert the house into an office building.
He said a structural engineer examined the structure and reported that the building was well-built and structurally secure. However, Moore said, he no longer was interested in the property because of other enterprises. He is selling the building and 80,000 square feet of property for $250,000.
"It's depressing to see the house and know that we let such a good thing fall apart," Proctor said. "But it's inspiration not to let it happen again."
