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 for the Democratic presidential nomination.
With 97 percent of the 264 precincts reporting at 11:30 p.m. CST, Hart had 48,213 votes or 71 percent, Mondale 14,273 or 20 percent and Jesse Jackson 5,465 or 48 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 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.
Monday dismissed the Vermont results, saying that they were not really contesting Vermont. The state officials did not give a reason.

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 Amin Gimemia yesterday formally invited Lebanon's factional leaders to meet in Switzerland next week to discuss stabilizing a war 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 demi-nationalists that scrapped the May 17 accord with Israel.

A proposal passed yesterday by the KU College Assembly will exclude some KU students from some upper-level computer science courses after this semester because of new grade point average and prequisite requirements.
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.
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 promised
Topeka man dies of a heart attack at Haworth Hall
By the Kansan Staff
One of Engle's co-workers said Engle was standing on a ladder installing aluminum door frames on the south side of the addition. Shortly before 3:30 p.m., Engle climbed down the ladder, sat on a sawhore inside the addition and collapsed, he said.
A Topeka construction worker died of a heart attack yesterday afternoon while installing door frames on the second floor of the Haworth Hall addition.
Bill Engle, 56, was pronounced dead on arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 4:45 p.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 defihrillation.
Engle was employed by Forman and Ford, a Des Moines, Iowa, glass company doing some of the work on the addition.
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.
OU star is leading candidate for Olympic team Oklahoma, Tisdale leaders of Big 8 season
Wayman Tisdale leads the conference in blocked shots. Oklahoma, champion of the Big Eight, takes on Missouri tonight in Norman.
By GREG DAMMAN Sports Writer
The 1984 Big Eight Conference regular season was not one of those times. Oklahoma clearly established itself as the most talented team in the nation, and he had again proved that he was the Big Eight's most talented player.
Many times in college basketball a conference season will end without producing a team or player that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
The Sooners are expected to finish as one of the top five teams in the country after beating No. 6 Nevada-Las Vegas Saturday. OU finished 27-3 overall and 13-1 in the conference.
He was a consensus All-America last year after breaking Chamberlin's Big Eight season scoring record with 810 points. Tisdale had 734 points this year with three regular season game remaining.
"I THINK HE'S a great all-around player, but every kid needs to improve," Kansas coach Larry Brown said. "I think his physical strength is a tremendous factor. He's a tremendous shooter in the scoring area, but he's got to stay out of foul trouble."
Tisdale, a sophomore, led the conference in scoring, averaging 28.3 points a game, and rebounding, averaging more than nine a game. He broke the Big Eight single game score record of 52 points, set by Wilt Chamberlain of North Carolina when he scored 60 against the University of Texas-San Antonio.
Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said, "Let me tell you something about that 250 — it’s all man. A lot of guys put on extra weight and it translates to fat. Not Wayman, he’s matured physically."
Tisidale's weight might be accurate, but he said that his height list was not.
Tisdale is listed at 6-foot-9 and 250 pounds, 15 pounds heavier than last year.
"IM REALLY 6-8" Tisdale said.
The weather is going to 6-7%1. I vary with the weather.
Tisdale played for the gold medal-winning United States team last summer at the Pan American Games. He was second on the team in scoring and rebounding and is a top candidate for the 1984 U.S. Olympic team.
If Tisdale leaves Oklahoma for the NBA next year, Brown said, the Sooners will still have a good team.
If Tisdale does play in the Olympics this summer, the chances that he will declare hardship and play in the Olympics are indicated next year will be much greater.
Brown said that he left the decision to turn pro to his players and gave them a chance to improve.
"WHAT I TELL all kids is that it's stricly an individual decision." Brown said. "I think it's a personal thing. Ive seen it work extremely well for guys and women." And he said. "There's no doubt in my mind that Wayman can be a good pro player."
"I don't think they'd be like they are"
Brown said. "I can't tell them, but not one of the

up nine teams in the country, which I consider them to be."
Missouri coach Norm Stewart said that the Sooners should go far in the NCAA Tournament.
"OKLAHOMA HAS an outstanding team." Stewart said. "They've shown lately that they have more dimension than we think and they're the story of our league this year."
The added dimension can be largely attributed to freshman guard Tim McCaister. McCaister is averaging 15.5 points a game and is the only Sooner starter besides Tisdale averaging double figures.
McCalister came off the bench against Kansas and scored 31 points, despite playing with a bad case of shin snints.
Having clinched a spot in the NCAA Tournament and the Big Eight title, Oklahoma has turned its sights on winning the Big Eight Tournament.
"The only thing I'm sure of is that Oklahoma is going to be the favorite." Brown said. "If we get to play Oklahoma in the tournament it would probably be in the finals, but I don't want to look that far down the road."
With the victory at Lawrence, the Sooners clinched at least a tie for the Big Eight title. During the game, the OU players egged on an already rowdy Allen Field House crowd and fueled the flames after the game by cutting down the nets.
KANSAS PLAYED Oklahoma twice in the regular season and lost both times. The Jayhawks were trounced by the Cardinals and lost in overtime in Lawrence, 92-83.

I would just like to take this opportunity on behalf of the players and coaching staff to thank you for the tremendous support you have provided throughout the 1983-84 season.
Needless to say, I can point with pride to our students when I reflect back on this season and detail the things that helped us win. Your impact upon our success has been significant and you have helped fill Allen Fieldhouse with a contagious enthusiasm that has given our home crowds the reputation as the best in the Big Eight Conference.
I hope we can continue together in post-season play and share the rewards that come with such an opportunity.
Once again, thanks for helping make this a special year for myself, the coaching staff and players.
Sincerely,
