continued from p.1
18-year-olds to work in taverns and restaurants had been left out of the original version of the bill because of a drafting error. A new version was introduced without opposition.
However, Miller said the bill would face problems on the House floor if the current phase in provisions remained. In its present form, the bill would not meet the federal budget and for a uniform drinking age until July 1, 1988, the year those born in 1967 would reach 21.
As a result, the state would face a delay of almost two years in receiving some of its federal highway aid. This would mean a loss of $10 million in the second year and more than $12 million in the second year.
"IT'S THE SECOND year delay that represents the hardship." Miller said.
Two amendments were defeated that would have changed the phase-in provisions of the bill State Rep Alfred Ramirez, legislators proposed an amendment to raise the grinder price.
State Rep. Keith Roe, R-Mankato, proposed an amendment that would raise the drinking age to 19 on July 1, 1985, and to 21 on August 31, 1986, for complying with federal regulations.
"If we have to go through the pain of raising the drinking age," Roe said.
Senators hear liquor lobbyists
By J. STROHMAIER Staff Reporter
Lobbyists from various Kansas liquor organizations voiced their opinions to a Senate committee yesterday on a bill, recently proposed by the Kansas Beer Wholesalers Association, that would gradually raise the state's legal drinking age to 21.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee heard from eight lobby groups on the bill, which would phase in the legal drinking age over a three-year period.
Yesterday's hearing, meant only to acquaint the committee with the possible effects of raising the drinking age, was the conclusion by the Senate committee on the issue.
The Senate committee also formed a subcommittee yesterday that will hear further arguments from liquor organizations concerning amendments to the wholesalers' bill, as well as arguments opposed to raising the drinking age.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE, composed of State Senators Eugene Anderson, D-Wichita, Jeanne Hoferer, R-Topeka, and Ben Vidrickens, R-Salina, will report its
findings to the Senate committee after evaluating the groups' testimony.
State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, a member of the Senate committee, said the Senate committee's chairman formed the subcommittee because the complexity of the drinking age issue required closer study.
The state will have to raise the legal drinking age to 21 by 1986 to comply with federal regulations or lose a portion of its federal highway funds.
The wholesalers' bill would increase the legal drinking age from 18 to 19 on July 1, 1985, to 20 on July 1, 1986, and to 21 in 1987. The legislators also passed a law regulating beer sales.
NEAL WHITAKER, lobbyist for the wholesalers, said yesterday that the bill allowed 18-year-olds to serve beer in closed containers and in open containers in licensed businesses where food accounts for half the sales.
Other provisions would allow beer to be sold until 1:30 a.m. and would permit SOMIS.
Mark Tallman, director of the Associated Students of Kansas, a statewide non-partisan student lobbying group, said his group still did not support raising the legal drinking age.
Caron has conducted teaching sessions across the country to educate people about the POW-MIA issue. But neither the sessions nor television announcements seemed to revive American's interest in the issue, he said.
POWs continued from p. 1
John Musgrave, a representative for veteran employment in Kansas, said, "People tend to overlook the fact that these people are still serving their country and representing America. Our government hasn't done anything so now it's our responsibility, and the assistance of the students is very important."
JON MCRIBRE, FIRST year graduate student and a Vietnam veteran, said the POW-MIAs were easy to ignore, but the public must be reminded of their existence. The place mats could accomplish this, he said.
Caron intends to make 50 separate maps representing all the states and home towns of
"We need to get Americans fired up," he said. "The presidential administration will only respond and get the people back home if the public demands that action be taken."
Caron said he wouldn't let up until the public developed the same kind of passion for music.
Caron said there was evidence to indicate Americans were being held against their will
in Vietnam. He said nearly 3,000 testimonies from Laos and Vietnamese refugees confirmed the existence of American captives there.
Evidence also comes from military sources, he said.
McBride said public awareness of these soldiers was growing.
"High-ranking military personnel have admitted that the government has information concerning the state of the people over there," McBride said. "The government just tells us stories for political reasons to hide it all under a cloak of secrecy."
"It took me many years to admit to myself that while I'm sleeping in a nice warm bed there are so many still over there suffering," he said. "I feel guilty that I'm home."
