The committee's recommendation carries no force and is only a suggestion.
TOPEKA — After four hours of testimony and debate, the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee yesterday voted 5-4 to recommend that a summer committee study a bill that would ban alcohol for age 3.2 percent beer from 18 to 19.
About 30 KU students and Lawrence tavern owners were in the audience at the hearing wearing yellow "Keep 18" badges.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill today. If the bill passes the Senate, it would go to the House for consideration.

Jr. R-Leavenworth, said he could not predict whether supporters of raising the drinking age in the Senate would recommend or call for a vote on the bill.

"From what I understand, over there you are allowed to drink from the day you are born," he said, "but you never are living after you have been drinking."
ROITZ SUGGESTED that the Legislature consider measures that some European countries have used to reduce drunken driving fatalities.
Roitz said that drunken driving was not a problem in many European countries because fines for doing so were heavy.
"They may just go ahead and骂 it," he said. "I can't say for sure what he was thinking."
He urged the legislators to seriously consider the European alternatives and to look beyond what other states have done.
During the two-hour hearing, about 15 opponents and supporters of raising the drinking age testified before the committee.

City commissioners in a study session last night tentatively decided to narrow from four to two the number of flights departing from the airport at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Rotz's suggestion was seconded by State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence. The committee approved Rotz's recommendation over a suggestion by State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, that the committee recommend that the Senate raise the drinking age to 19 for 3.2 beer.
THE REV. RICHARD Taylor, president of Kansans for Life at its Best! and a longtime supporter of raising the drinking age, showed an 18-minute video tape about how the Michigan Legislature raised the state's drinking age in 1978 after having lowered it to 18 in 1971.
said. "Do we raise the drinking age just because it is in vogue to do so?"
State Sen. Norman Daniels, D-Valley Center and supporter of Morris' recommendation, said that drunken drivers curbed only by raising the drinking age.
The proposals for the airport were submitted to the city staff this month by Allen Belot Architects, Iowa Street Associates, Capital Helicopter Inc. and Lawrence National Bank, all of Lawrence.
Prohibiting 18-year-olds from drinking beer would be a small price to pay for reducing drunken driving accidents, she said.
"I DON'T THINK there is anybody who is just going to die or feel left out simply because they have to wait one more year to drink beer," she said.

City wants to look at two airport plans
The commission asked City Manager Buford Watson to narrow the list to the proposals of Allen Belot Architects and Iowa Street Associates.
Angino asked the staff to break the plans down and compare the costs of each one directly. He said the commission would then decide on the plan the city would use, based on artists' renditions of the terminal building.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the commission decided not to consider an election
for general obligation bonds to finance a portion of a proposed downtown shopping mall until the city staff could refine cost estimates for a proposed parking garage that would be under construction in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.
Commissioner Mike Amyx had requested that the commission discuss an election to determine the public's opinion of the plan, but commissioners agreed last night that an election would be premature.
Amyx also said that the commission should decide who would initiate a special benefit district for downtown merchants.
TOWN CENTER VENTURE Corp. the city's developer for the downtown project has included the benefit of the parking garage below the mail.
Watson said that the city staff's goal was to have final cost figures for the mall in three weeks and that commissaries should discuss a public vote after that time.
Commissioner David Longhurst said that if the public voted now, it would essentially be voting on the mall project itself.
"I think we ought to have a clearer idea of what this project is before we put this before the public for a vote," he said.
He said that the plan could change after the public approved part of the plan.
Commissioners discussed setting up an urban development committee to deal with projects such as the downtown mall on a long-term basis.

Watson said that one problem with the project was that every two years, when the commission changed after an election, the project lost continuity.

Angino said that one problem with the project was that the developer was not helping the Downtown Improvement Committee with public relations for the plan.

"The hearing officer gives the customers one more ear," Angioin said. "Commissioner Nancy Shontz said she thought that Bill Salone, the president of KPS, should not be the last person who heard a complaint by a gas customer, because he had the company's best interests in mind.
The commission discussed hiring a "hearing officer" who would be on the city staff, who would help any gas company with complaints about the gas company.
THEY AGREED THAT the contract should last for 10 years with a five-year extension if both the city and the gas company had no questions about it at
