Hart arising as Reagan's foe Hart buries Mondale in Vermont; Reagan is ahead, third win on road to nomination maintains Carter
By United Press International
Sen. Gary Hart buried Walter Mondale in a landslide in Vermont's non-binding primary yesterday, grabbing his third straight victory in the nomination for the Democratic presidential nomination.
With 97 percent of the 264 precinces reporting at 11:30 p.m. CST, Hart had 49,213 votes or 71 percent, Mondale 14,273 or 20 percent and Jesse Jackson 5,465 or 8 percent. Even though Reubin Askew dropped out of the race last week, he still got 415 votes, less than 1 percent of the total.
Campaigning in Florida, Hart noted that in Vermont a lot of Republicans apparently crossed over to vote for him and he said that meant he could beat Ronald Reagan in November.
"I believe the result in Vermont shows this campaign does have a chance to reach out beyond the Democratic Party to expand the frontiers of our party and to expand the electoral base of our party." Hart said. "I intend to defeat Ronald Reagan."
MONDALE STILL LED in the battle for delegates to the Democratic National Convention. He had 132 to 29 for Hart. Many of Mondale's delegates were House members picked earlier this year to go to the convention and they could change their pledges.
Mondale dismissed the Vermont results, saying, "We were not really contesting Vermont. No delegates were being selected in the contest."
HART'S STUNNING Vermont victory — his most impressive to date — gave the Colorado senator a clean sweep in northern New England over the past eight days.
Hart was favored to score another victory Saturday in Worcester, a friendly western state that hosts the home team.
That would mean he would be building on a string of four consecutive wins going into Super Tuesday, March 13, when 11 jurisdictions hold primaries and caucuses to pick 511 delegates.
There was already indication that Hart's building momentum and Mondale's failure to

WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter said yesterday that President Reagan would win if the 1984 election were held today but the Democrats "have a good chance" in November if they can overcome his charm, dramatize the issues, and unite for the first time in 20 years.
"Today, I think President Reagan would win," the former president said.
But, Carter said, "I think the Democrats have a good chance provided we can delineate the issues and overcome this personal attractiveness of President Reagan, and provided we have a unified Democratic Party."
Among Carter's observations on other foreign and domestic issues;

BEIRUT Lebanon — President Amine Gimel yesterday formally invited Lebanon's factional leaders to meet in Switzerland next week to discuss improving a country, split by nine years of civil war.

Beirut radio said invitations went to leaders of Lebanon's fractured political and religious communities asking them to meet Monday in Lausanne, a Swiss resort.
But scattered clashes in Beirut and the nearby hills threatened a truce that took effect when Gemayel gave in to Syrian and rebel Muslim forces. The military scrapped the May 17 peace accord with Israel.

by JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
The assembly, the governing body of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, passed a proposal from the acting chairman of the computer science department that will set new standards for eligibility to take some computer sciences courses above CS 200 and CS 210.
A proposal passed yesterday by the KU College Assembly will include some KU students from some upper-level computer science courses after this semester because of new grade point average and prequisite requirements.
According to the new policy, students who enroll in courses beyond CS 210 without having established eligibility automatically lose their places in those courses.
WILLIAM BULGREN, acting chairman of the computer science department, said he proposed

Engle was employed by Forman and Ford, a Des Moines, Iowa, glass company doing some of the work on the addition.
Bill Engle, 56, was pronounced dead on arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 4:45 n. m.
An ambulance was called at about 3:30 p.m. When it arrived, KU police officers were administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Paramedics and police continued CPR for about 45 minutes. They also gave him an intravenous injection and administered defibrillation.
Engle's son Thomas, Lawrence senior, was walking by Haworth Hall when he saw an ambulance, a police car and a small group of people looking at the part of the building where he knew his father was working.
Engle said that at one point his father's heartbeat was revived but that it was very irregular and weak. Paramedics and police brought Engle's father out of the building on a stretcher with a machine pumping his heart at about 4:30 p.m.

Final week's action in the Big Eight Mizzou completes slide from first to worst
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers went from a 5-11 record and last-place finish in the National Football League's Central Division in 1978 to a 10-6 mark and first-place finish in 1979, triggering the battle cry "From Worst to First."
UPI Sports Writer
The Tigers had won an unprecedented four consecutive Big Eight championships from 1980-83, garnerring the NCAA Tournament bids and three Top 20 finishes. But with the loss of NBA first-round draft pick Steve Stapinovich Missouri sunk to its first basenail finish since 1974.
But the University of Missouri basketball team has revered that slogan this winter, going
The Tigers had the regular season Saturday with a 53-47 loss to Kansas State, dropping Missouri into a tie for last place with the Wildcats and Oklahoma State at 5-9.
BUT MISSIOUR LOST both of its regular-season meetings with Kansas State and, in the Big Eight's complicated tie-breaking formula, the Tigers are stuck with the eighth seed in the post-season tournament. Missouri thus has the misfortune of visiting league-champion Oklahoma, the nation's No. 7 team in last week's UPI poll, in opening-round action tonight.
"If we have to go down there," said Missouri coach Norm Stewart, whose team has a respectable 16-13 overall record, "maybe I'll wear a helmet."
Missouri trailed 38-36 Saturday with 4:46 left but the Wildcats put the Tigers away by scoring 15 of their 27 second-half points in the final four minutes.
Jim Roder and Tom Alfaro each sank two free
throws in the final 30 seconds to ensure Kansas State its 12th home victory in 15 tries. But the Wildcats are now through at home for the season. They must travel to third-place Nebraska tomorrow night for their first-round tournament game.
IOWA STATE SECURED the other opening-round homecourt berth with a 70-62 victory Saturday over Colorado. That left the Cyclones and Buffaloates tied for fourth at 6-8 but Iowa State held the ultimate tie-breaking trump card with a victory over Oklahoma — the only blemish on the Sooners' 13-1 championship record.
record.
Barry Stevens scored 24 points, Jeff Hornacek 14 and Terrance Allen 12 as Iowa State improved its overall record to 16-11, the first 16-win season by the Cyclones since the 1972-73 season. Iowa State will host Colorado again tomorrow night in a first-round tournament game.
"I just told our players before the game that if we lost we'd be on the road for sure," Iowa State coach Johnny Orr said. "This Big Eight race is the most interesting thing I've ever seen in coaching."
LIKE COLORADO, Oklahoma State will also get a shot at immediate revenge in the post-season tournament. The Cowboys were drubbed Saturday by second-place Kansas, 91-70, and the two will meet again in the first round of the Big Eight Tournament tonight.
While its Big Eight playmates were jockeying for position Saturday as also-rans in the conference race, Oklahoma was successfully jockying for position in the UPI Top 20.
The Sooners climaxed their regular season with a 78-70 non-conference victory over No. 6 Nevada-Las Vegas. Oklahoma improved its records to 27-3 overall and 15-0 at home.
Center Greg Cavener and the rest of the Missouri Tigers have had their problems this season, finishing last in the conference. Their 5-9 Big Eight finish broke a string of four consecutive conference titles.
