KU prof says talks useless in arms race

Talks between the United States and the Soviet Union concerning resuming cultural and scientific exchanges probably will not have any effect on arms control discussions, a KU professor in economics said recently.
"The Soviets won't come back to nuclear disarmament talks unless the United States takes a softer stance," said Harry Shaffer, professor of economics and Soviet and East European studies.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT announced this week that an agreement had been made between the two countries to open discussion about cultural and scientific exchanges this summer in Moscow.
The exchange program expired in 1980. Former President Jimmy Carter often suspend discussions about renewal of the agreement in 1972 after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Cultural and scientific exchanges can be of "very great importance" and can lead to more cooperation between the two countries, Shaffer said.
Both the United States and the Soviet Union have to become more popular.
"In the long run, we'll have to get along or we'll destroy each other."
BOB SWAN, president of Athletes United for Peace, said that Reagan's approval of the talks was "very welcome news," but he said that the president's agreement was due to political pressures.
"Reagan realized that millions of people and groups like us were working toward peace," Swan said, "and that peace would be an issue in the election."
The people of the Soviet Union are not much different from those in the United States, he said.
AUP hopes that by bringing together athletes and young leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union, a solidarity and togetherness will develop between the two countries, Swan said.
IN THE SPRING of 1983, a Meeting for Peace committee, of which Swan and former mayor David Longhurst were members, was formed to invite Reagan and then-Soviet leader Yuri Andropov to hold a summit conference in Lawrence.
A meeting has not occurred, but Swan said that the committee still had an active interest in a summit conference.
A prospectus for a meeting has been sent to Soviet head Konstantin Chernenko, Swan said.
In June, Swan and Longhurst met with a group of Soviet youths who were visiting Lawrence.

Jeff Dolezel shows off some of the baseball memorabilia that the objects, trades and sells. Dolezel, who owns J.D.'s Baseball Card and Sports Nostalgia Shop. 538 W. 23rd St., has been collecting various sports cards for most of his life.
Baseball is business for fan
By JOHN SIMONSON Staff Reporter
In a way, Jeff Dolezal has never really outgrown his small-town Kansas boyhood.
The 38-year-old proprietor of J.D.'s Baseball Card and Sports Nostalgia Shop, 538 W. 23rd St., is still busy doing what he did back in Wilson in the 1950s — collecting baseball cards.
"My folks ran a drug store out there," he said. "Every Monday when the candy truck would come, I would sit out on the step with my $1.65 and buy a whole box of cards."
THIRTY YEARS LATER. Dolezal finds himself rubbing elbows with a new generation of youngsters who are becoming baseball card collectors.
But it was only after spending several years in other jobs — as a VISTA volunteer, a teacher and an insurance salesman — that Dolezal decided to return to collecting
He had regularly attended collector shows around the country, and had considered opening his own collector shop. After one such show in St. Louis three years ago, Dolezal decided to take the plunge.
tired of you talking about it. Do it.
You're going to have to do it to get it out of your system somewhere along the line, " he said.
"Finally my wife just said, 'I'm
Dolezal's shop is filled with sports memories. His inventory includes not just cards, but photographs, programs, pennants, buttons, bats, balls and more.
Dolezal has a good selection of autographed items, too. Like Don Larsen's signature on a photograph of the Yankee star's final pitch of his perfect game in the 1956 World Series, and Willie Mays' scribble on a photo series of his famous over-the-shoulder catch as a member of the New York Giants in the 1954 Series.
DOLEZAL'S YOUNGER customers are more interested in collecting cards of current stars, like George Brett, Dale Murphy and Mike Schmidt. But the walls and display cases at J.D.'s also contain memorabilia of the stars of Dolezal's youth — Warren Spahn, Stan Musial, Ted Williams and Duke Snider
Dolezal's shop also contains many collectible items from the Kansas City Royals, from a postcard from the team, to a book on the Municipal Stadium, to an autographed George Brett bat Royals players have been known to visit J.D.'s when they are in Lawrence.
WHILE HIS SHOP is devoted mainly to baseball, Dolezal says about 10 percent of his inventory is related to other sports, such as football, hockey and basketball.
One of the more interesting non-baseball items is a picture frame containing basketball cards of KU Head Basketball Coach Larry Brown and Assistant Coach Ed Manning as players with their respective NBA teams, the Denver Rockets and Portland Trailblazers.
Dolezal had them both autograph the cards.
"I was kidding Larry Brown." Dolezal said. "I said, 'Larry, it looks like you've got a black eye there.' He said, 'I had a black eye about 90 percent of the time I played pro ball. Every time I'd drive the lane, those big guys would swat me.'"
These days, Dolezal is busy paddling sports memories to Lawrence collectors. But he's still an excited fan when he talks about attending a collector show in Kansas City next month.
"Mickey Mantle's going to be there," he said.
Woman judge knocking down walls for others
By MICHELE HINGER Staff Reporter
Jean Shepherd knows she has clout when people address her as "sir" in court.
"I knew I'd scored a point when someone said, "No, sir" to me," said Shepherd, who became the first woman to be appointed Douglas County associate district judge in March.
"It happened in the DA's office too," said Shepherd, 38, who was assistant Douglas County district attorney from 1977 to 1981.
ALTHOUGH SHEPHERD is not a banner-toting工会的ibber, she feels she has influenced people by her occupation. She is one of three judges at the trial level in Kansas.

"I probably am a feminist," she said. "I kept my own name when I got married, I followed a non-traditional career and I think women should have equal rights and equal pay.
One woman who has worked with Shepherd for two years feels the
shepherd's hand.
"SHE IS A dynamo, she is an individual, she is an extraordinary man."
"A person who does what I'm doing can't be over-sensitive to being called 'sir,' for example. It takes energy to be constantly fighting that. I think I can have an influence just being who I am, and showing women that non-traditional jobs are a possibility."
Shepherd is a master at juggling a career and life family
She has three sons at home, and a husband, John Bork, Jefferson County Attorney, who divides the housework with her.
"He shares equally in the parenting," said Shepherd, "including half

the cooking. But I think that's true for most women in professions." Finding time to raise her sons — Reid, 12, Karrigan, 15, and Ian, one year old July 19 — is a matter of
"The kids come first in an emergency," said Shepherd.
She did feel some guilt when she first started working though, Shepherd said.
"JEAN WAS pregnant all last summer, and she worked right along," said Corson. "I've seen her jogging up Mississippi Street often with her oldest son and 5-year-old and her new baby in the stroller."
"I had never intended to work," she said. "But after I was remarried, I saw that the first child was actually better off because I wasn't always hovering around him — and that took care of the guilt."
Being a judge was not part of Shepherd's life scheme.
Born in Kansas City, she graduated from Wyandotte High School, and after receiving a degree in English education from KU in 1968, returned to Kansas City to teach at Washington High School.
In 1974, Shepherd was divorced and was set to return to school for a job.
But because of a friend's suggestion, openings in women's careers, and some students of Shepherd's whom she had noticed were spending time in juvenile court, Shepherd instead entered law school at KU and graduated in 1977.
When Shepherd became assistant district attorney in 1977, she was the only person charged with the crime.

"Even trial attorneys aren't in court on a daily basis," she said. "I like having the opportunity to deal with the public I especially like juvenile court — I think things can still be accomplished there."
"A judge has to be removed from the lawyers' daily chatter," she said. "Most of my friends are attorneys so when we get together we have to talk about different things."

Shepherd makes a complete effort to explain to the juvenile and his family what is happening during the proceedings, said Corson, whose contact with Shepherd is in the juvenile court division.
"As an attorney, I liked working with the clients and helping them obtain their goals through the legal system, explaining the law process." Shepherd said. "As judge, I miss that direct contact with people who are not lawyers. There are always lawyers who act as the intermediary between the public and the judge."
LEAVING HER colleagues at the law firm was hard, Shepherd said, and changing from the known to the
