Drink continued from p. 1 said, "The more Senate votes we have, the more House votes we are likely to get."
Passage by both chambers would send the repeal of the constitution's ban on open saloons to the voters in the 1886 general election. If approved, voters in each county would decide whether to allow liquor by the drink.
The anti-drinking package was introduced to secure the support of senators who did not wish to vote in favor of liquor by voting first with first with alcohol consumption problems.
The most controversial bill in the package would prohibit "drink-and-drown" nights, happy hours, two-for-one drink specials and other promotions that may encourage excessive drinking in taverns and clubs.
"THE INTENT OF the bill," Burke said, "is to to discourage people from just going crazy with their drinking. We're telling people to be reasonable. As long as you're reasonable and don't abuse the privilege, you're all right."
One provision cut by the committee would have prohibited the sale of a pitcher of beer to only one person.

Senate calls extra meeting to discuss group financing
By NANCY STOETZER Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The Student Senate last night voted to call an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss a proposal to change the way the Senate money to some student organizations.
The bill, which was on last night's agenda,
was not discussed at the five-hour meeting.
The bill proposes to restructure financing for non-revenue code groups in an attempt to improve the business.
Non-revenue code groups, such as Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas and the Black Student Union, generally request less than $1,000 a year from the Senate and do not have any partitions or portions of the student body, Jeff Polack, the student body vice president, said last week.
DURING THE MEETING, the Senate voted to appoint Milton Scott, Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator, to the University Senate Executive Committee.
Sump, holdover senator, to the University Sports Council.
In other action, the Senate approved five organizations as revenue code groups. The organizations approved were: Headquarters, University Dance Company, Hillop Day Center, Consumer Affairs and Douglas County Rape Victim Support Service.
The Senate also voted to appoint Mark
The Senate also approved two bills that allow two organizations to submit late applications for revenue code status. Representatives from the Student Bar Association and the Normal Care Services said they didn't receive any about applying for status until the deadline.
THE SENATE VOTED to approve all Senate committee appointments. Before the approval, Reza Oughi, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, moved to form a committee to investigate allegations against the Senate Committee Board.
Polack said allegations that the Committee Board attempted to stack committee appointments were brought to the attention of himself, Zoughi and William Easley, student body president. After three hours of debate, Zoughi withdrew his petition.

the capitol by House Speaker Thomas O'Neil, who made a special point of wishing him a happy birthday.
Such changes, he said, "will be a giant step toward unleashing the tremendous pent-up power of our economy."
Reagan continued from p. *
Members of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Cabinet, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and members of the diplomatic corps jammed onto the floor of the House. The galleries, too, were crowded with dignitaries, including members of the Masons'sagans' daughter Maureen, as well as two special guests Reagan was to single out for mention in his remarks.
FLEISHING OUT HIS call to the nation with quotations from Harry Truman, Abraham Lincoln and the Book of Proverbs, Reagan aimed for a lofty theme, moving beyond last year's campaign-opening State of the Union declaration that "America is back" to a global declaration for peace and freedom.
Reagan, marking his 74th birthday and the 17th of his second term, was introduced to a memorial service at Temple B'nai Yeshua.
Facing a Congress that has been more recalcitrant than cooperative in the past two years, Reagan said:
1 more hour in taverns could mellow Manhattan
By United Press International
MANHATTAN — City commissioners, fearful of another clash between police and drunken college students, are studying a proposal that would allow taverns to remain open an extra hour for a "mellowing out period."
Under a proposed ordinance, taverns would not have to shut their doors until 1 a.m. and should be sold after midnight, but anyone with an affair in beer could consume it up to closing time.
"By allowing tavernes to stay open an extra hour, there would be a mellowing out period," city Commissioner Rick Mann said yesterday.
Mann was chairman of a task force that was organized in response to an Oct. 14 skirmish between police and college students in the city's Aggieville bar and the university district. The clash which occurred there was Kansas State University played the rival University of Kansas in football — erupted as revelers poured out of Aggieville bars.
THE INCIDENT LEFT six police
Officers, 24 people, mostly
college students, jailed
The City Commission tentatively approved the proposed ordinance Tuesday under a version being written by the city attorney and may be voted on in two to four weeks.
"They have the authority to do it. They are the licensing authority," John Pence, an officer for Kansas' Alcohol Beverage Control Division, said of the additional hour.
Under present ordinances, not only must.
tavern owners stop selling beer at midnight - in accordance with state law
"THIS PUSHS A lot of people out in the street in somewhat of a very short time," said Mann. "You have to pick up beers in the hands of our brothers and almost boot them out the door."
they also must have their establishments cleared of patrons by the same time.
The proposal, he said, has at least one major problem: How much beer purchased before midnight should a person be allowed to drink?
The proposal sets a limit at 24 ounces, but Mann is quick to add that might be hard to enforce. He says some tavern patrons may rush to the bar shortly before midnight and buy a couple of pitchers of beer.
"In no way did we want to extend the amount of time that beer could be sold," he said. "We won't allow them to stack beer. In no way did the task force try to avoid the stacking. We've been done to avoid the stacking. We're still working with that vet. We're still working on that."
Mann said the ordinance could be a boon to tavern owners.
"This might be an opportunity for taverns to sell breakfast from midnight to 1 a.m., which would give the people an opportunity to slow down a little bit," he said. "There would be more of an orderly exit."
Another task force recommendation asks the state to crack down on establishments violating Kansas' liquor laws. Now when the state decides to shut down a bar for illegal drinking, the owner can choose which days. Owners may choose their least profitable ones.
