in the drinking age on employment of 18-to 21-year olds
ALLEN'S SURVEY OF tavern owners in Lawrence, Topeka and Hays found 73 employees under age 21 worked at the businesses polled with annual wages that totaled more than $1 million. The taverns would lose their jobs if the drinking age were changed without provisions to permit them to continue to serve beer.
Nearly all private club owners surveyed told Allen that they would hire 18- to 21-year-olds if allowed, although only 73 percent favored such a move by the Legislature.
State Sen. Edward F. Reilly Jr., chairman of the Senate panel, said that he planned to set up a subcommittee to conduct further hearings on the 49-page wholesaler's proposal. He expected the subcommittee came up. He expected the subcommittee to present its recommendations by Jan. 30.
Reilly, who during the last legislative
session opposed efforts to raise the drinking age, said he didn't like the idea of the federal government's forcing the state to comply or face the loss of highway funds.
He also said the wholesalers' proposal to permit Sunday beer sales was a fair one.
"If you're going to take, you ought to give a
lot of said. If not you're going to do
a lot of said."
However, the subcommittee may decide to only act on the drug age, he said, without mentioning that they might not have
Regardless of the law that finally reaches the Legislature, 18- to 21-year-olds probably will be left holding the empty brown paper bag. Edmonds, the tavern owners' repre-
pentors, are a new campus director, blames ASK for not better defending the interests of students.
"I don't think ASK is representing its constituents," he said. "They're taking a position contrary to what their constituents want."
Three proposals for the $2.25 million plan to upgrade the computer system at the University of Kansas were presented at a meeting on Friday, March 3rd by the director of computing services.
Jerry Niebaum, the director, said the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the options and answer staff members' questions.
Proposals for computer switch discussed

The University now operates on four computer systems, two International Business Machines Corp. systems for the initial IBM Honeywell Inc. systems for academic use.
The newest proposal being considered is a multiple computer system that would keep an IBM-compatible system for the administration and add a Digital Equipment Corp.
VAX computer for academic use. Another IBM system already owned by KU and used by the administration would be expanded for academic use.
Herb Harris, assistant director of user services for academic computer services, said there were some negative but necessary side effects of the multi-system proposal.
"THE FACT THAT we will have to convert programs that now run on Honeywell means we will have a lot of work to do," Harris said. "But if we want to get the University of Kansas into the mainstream of computing, we have to do that work."
David Gardner, assistant director of information systems, said that any of the options being considered would be good for the administration. But the multi-system option would not require his staff to change systems, he said.
"For my staff there would be no change and some enhancement," Gardner said.
Niebaum added, "This option appears to have a good deal of appeal with the people we've talked to, as did the first option. But no decision has been made yet."
The original proposal, introduced last November, would convert part of the academic computing system to a new IBM computer or an IBM-compatible system.
the administration and academic sides would share the use and cost of the new system. The system, which would be paid for over the next five years, has about five times the processing power of KU's present IBM computer.
A third proposal would expand one of KU's Honeywell systems for the academic side and bring in a smaller IBM-compatible system for administrative use.
Although Niebaum said last week that he expected to make a recommendation by the end of the month, he said yesterday that that may not be possible.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had the biggest jump in enrollment. The headcount for the college this semester is 9.952 - 309 more than last spring.
The 20th-day enrollment figures are used to calculate the full-time equivalent figure, which helps the Kansas Legislature determine financing for the University.
The full-time equivalent figure is the total number of credit hours divided by average full-time credit course loads. For undergraduates, the average course load is 15 hours; for law students, the average is 12 hours; and for graduate students, nine hours.
The School of Business enrollment was 147 more than last spring's total of 874. John O. Tollison, dean of the school, said the school reflected a reflection of the fall enrollment increase.
Other schools experiencing enrollment
- School of Pharmacy, from 187 students to 200.
- School: Social Welfare, from 428 to 446.
* School: Journalism, from 596 to 640.
- School of Allied Health, from two to four.
- School of Allied Health, from two to four.

- School of Architecture and Urban Design from 604 to 596.

Reagan continued from p. 1.
During the 20-minute speech in front of 1,000 guests at the Capitol Rotunda, the president also called for a change in the tax system.
"RATHER THAN LIMIT our challenge to growth, let us challenge the limits of growth," Reagan said. "We must simplify our tax system, make it more fair and bring tax rates down for all who work and earn.
"We must think anew and move with new boldness, so every American who seeks work can find work; so the least among us have an equal chance to achieve the greatest things — to be heroes who heal our sick, feed the hungry, protect peace among nations and leave this world a better place."
1789 forced the nation's TV networks to scramble to revise their coverage.
TOM BROKAW, ANCHORING NBC's live coverage starting at 10 a.m., an hour earlier than the other broadcast networks, explained several times that many of the reports the network planned to air, such as parade security, were now irrelevant.
Gaps in the coverage were filled by talk about the weather, which made Reagan's second inaugural the coldest in history with temperatures as low as 4 below.
The cold weather that canceled the inaugural parade for the first time since
The networks were told about 6 p.m. Sunday that the parade was canceled and the event was cancelled.
NBC plunked down $20,000 Sunday to buy 40 electric blankets for camera equipment and for cold-wather clothing for reporters and technicians. "We kept several sporting goods stores open last week, but we don't know of its entire stock of boots." Metcalf said.
"Things are crazy here," NBC spokeswoman Sharon Metcalf said yesterday morning. "Everybody has been up all day to readjust. It's a logistical nightmare."
ABC bought several hundred suits of arctic clothing — jackets and caps with earflares — for its crews, which were put on rotation so they could thaw out.
ABC network president Roone Arlidge flew directly from the Superbowl in Palo Alto, Calif., to Washington, D.C., arriving at a help coordinate the revamped COVERAGE.
The three broadcast networks, which spent millions of dollars to report the event, did not immediately know how much the cancellation would cost.
