Hart is victorious in N.H. primary
By United Press International
MANCHESTER, N.H. = a Happy Gary Hort celebrates his victory in the New Hampshire Democratic with his wife;
Lee, and daughter, Andrea. Hart's showing yesterday was an upset victory for the Colorado senator.
CONCORD, N.H. — Gary Hart, promising to lead "the crusade for this country's future," stunned Democratic front-runner Walter Montoya in a dramatic upset victory in the New Hampshire primaries.
The results buried most of the crowded field, leaving three realistic contenders — Mondale, Hart and Sen. John Glenn of Ohio, who finished third.
The surprise victory shifts the fragile moment of presidential politics to the Colorado senator's camp, and throws a serious monkeywrench into what has been an unimpeded drive by Mondale for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"This is a massive victory," an elated Hart
obviously the product of an awful
let of things.
"I'm not prepared at this moment to claim the position of front-runner, but I know one thing —
position we'll have buried the label 'dark horse.' Hart said we have some interest in the cause campaign or candidate has, that is the cause and the crusade for this country's future."
Mondale admitted defeat to a mob of supporters, telling them that "I won one, and lost one," referring to his victory last week in the Iowa caucuses. He predicted that in the 25 primaries up in the next three weeks he would defeat Hart.
With 95 percent of the total vote reporting, Hart had 37,207 votes or 41 percent; Mondale, 26,079 or 28 percent; Glenn, 11,233 or 12 percent; former Sen. George McGovern, 5,258 or 6 percent; civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, 5,094 or 6 percent; Sen. Ernst Herschel, 2,919 or 2 percent; Sen. Alan Cranston, 2,043 or 2 percent, and former Gov. Rubin Askow of Florida, 988 or 1 percent.
If those percentages hold up, Hart will win 10 delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Ashner, Cramer ready to end longest Senate term
'Any extracurricular experience is valuable. You learn things you could never learn in classrooms.'

As this semester's candidates wind up their campaigns and begin taking down posters, the present student body president and vice president will begin cleaning out their offices.
Lisa Ashner, president, and Jim Cramer, vice president, tomorrow will complete the longest presidential term in the Student Senate's history.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig added two months to Ashner's and Cramer's terms when he asked them in January to resume their positions until a new student body presidential election could be
Asher said yesterday that she had accepted the chancellor's request but that her academia
commitments and her presidential duties this semester did not mix.
"Rearranging schedules sometimes has been a problem," she said.
Cramer, however, said he had enjoyed the last two months more than the previous year in office.
When candidates first take office, he said, they are overwhelmed by responsibilities and spend most of their time reacting to problems instead of planning to prevent them.
In the last two months, Cramer said, no one expected him and Ashner to start new projects, so he had time to propose detailed plans that anticipated and prevented problems.
Cramer served as a consultant to a special election committee that designed the procedures for today's student body presidential election. Cramer also proposed the methods adopted by the Senate to implement the committee's recommendations.
Ashner and Cramer agreed that the main
accomplishments during their term were initiating the Vietnam War Memorial project, reconstructing the Senate committee structure and establishing a campus art festival.
Ashner said she got the idea for a KU Vietnam memorial from a Vietnam memorial at Antioch Park in Johnson County.
She said she researched the project over the summer and appointed a committee in the fall to run the project.
In October, the Student Senate voted to allot $10,000 from the special projects fund for the memorial, and Budig approved the construction of the memorial.
Cramer spent last semester working on revisions of the Senate's rules and regulations.
For years. Cramer said, candidates have been

'Jaystork' gives infants a fighting chance
College sex bias allowed by court despite funding
By United Press International
Women's groups argued that a section of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibited sex discrimination "in any education program or any activity receiving federal financial assistance," should apply to institutions whose students receive federal aid. They said federal aid to students constituted indirect aid to the college.
The court rejected that argument, finding that the protections against discrimination could be applied to student aid programs at schools whose students got federal financial help, but that the sex discrimination rules could not be imposed on other programs at such institutions.

such insults. Only Justices 'Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan sided with women's groups' arguments for a wider application of the discrimination ban. But they went along with the final court decision even though they explained their views separately.
Lawmakers immediately announced plans to introduce legislation broadening the application of federal laws barring sex discrimination.
explained. The court's decision came in the case of Grove City College, a Presbyterian-affiliated school outside Pittsburgh that refused to sign an anti-discrimination pledge requested by federal education officials. The school said signing the agreement would jeopardize its independence.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court refused in a unanimous ruling yesterday to ban sex discrimination from all programs that a college offers merely because its students receive federal financial aid.
The decision, a backset for women's rights advocates, bars sex discrimination in financial aid programs but holds that federal financial aid to students does not subject all school programs — such as sports, faculty matters and academic activities — to federal anti-discrimination guidelines.
The delivery had been difficult. Jeffrey weighed more than nine pounds, because his body was full of fluid, and he had a collapsed lung.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Three years ago on a cold December afternoon, Jeffrey McQueen was born in a Toneka hospital. He wasn't breathing.
"After he was born, everybody was rushing around and not saying a word," his mother, Sheila McQueen, said yesterday. "I finally realized something was wrong and asked if my baby was dead."
"I really didn't know what was going on when we were in the hospital," his mother said from her home in Topeka. "But I knew when they said he would have to be sent to KU that it was serious. I thought the Jaystork team was really great. They brought his weight down to 7 pounds.
The baby boy survived and is now a healthy pre-schooler. Jeffrey, his parents say, may well owe his life to the "Jaystork" at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"My initial feelings were that I didn't know whether my baby would live."
Shortly after Jeffrey's birth, the Jaystork, an $80,000 mobile intensive care unit, raced to Topeka and transported the baby, whose breathing had been restored, to the Med Center.
A team of specialists assigned to the Jaystork provide life-sustaining care for babies during emergency trips to the Med Center. But the Jaystork is more than just an ambulance for infants.
The primary mission of the Jaystork, and its rotating team of 10 nurses, eight doctors and five drivers, is to travel to hospitals within 100 miles from severe abnormalities to the Med Center.
Jim McDaniel, a second-year resident physician, and Janet Winner, a registered nurse, are co-directors of the program.

Church gets OK to start building plan
See JAYSTORK, p. 5, col. 3
In a 4-1 vote last night, the Lawrence City Commission gave the go-ahead for St. Lawrence Catholic Center officials to begin work on an expansion of the school at a student center at Crescent and Eagel roads.
Commissioners vote 4-1; neighborhood may appeal decision
But John Nitcher, attorney for the Crescent-Engel Neighborhood Association, said last night that the association was considering filing an appeal with the Douglas County District Court to see whether the commission's approval of the expansion violated city code. The judge said on a violation, he said, the association will consider suing on the grounds that the decision was unreasonable.

He said, "If our best judgment is that the decision of the City Commission can be reversed, it should be reversed."
"The City Commission's action is just really disappointing."
Krische said he anticipated that designs for the church and expansion would be completed in about six months. He expects that the center will be ready by 2016, with 60 days, and construction could begin in late fall.
"I can't believe we did it," he said. "I'm so excited."
The site plan the commission approved last night includes a 392-seat church, expansion of the existing student center, and a 98-space parking lot. The previous plan included a 424-seat church, a 100-seat chapel and a 106-space parking lot.
For the Rev. Vincent Krische, director of the center, the decision was a relief.
The plan approved last night includes eight restrictions for construction.
The 392-seat church will have the same number of square feet as the originally proposed 424-seat church.
"The size is all that matters," he said
However, Bill Barr, president of the neighborhood association, said he thought the restrictions were immaterial.
"This site is constrained," Barr said. "It is bounded. The neighborhood is in no way opposed to a church and student center, but this is too much."
The sale is to the buyer.
He also said that the commission did not give enough attention to arguments raised in the past that the church was too big.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz, the only commissioner to vote against the approval, said, "There is exactly the same amount of usable space in this site plan as the previous one."
what this means is that the church is still planning to serve the same amount of people. And yet, there is less parking shown on the plan. I'm very disappointed and discouraged with
The commission required that 1,400 square feet indicated for storage space in the basement
Center officials had added the 1,400 square feet to the basement of the proposed church when they removed a 100-seat chapel of the same size from the plan.
The City Commission said that center officials could not build anything more on the plan until five years after the proposed church and expansion of the student center were completed.
The commission also limited the number of organized activities that could go on at the same time, and said that the student center could be used for classrooms, office space and a library.
The commission required that a wall connecting the church and student center on the plan be designed to enhance the visual effect.
Iran warns it will close strait if U.S. limitations curb forces
With his Islamic regime reportedly stockpiling oil supplies outside the Persian Gulf, Teheran's Ayatollah Ruhholl Khomeini dismissed Presi-
tionals to keep the strapt open by force, if necessary.
Iran warned Washington yesterday that it could close the vital Strait of Hormuz oil route if any incidents occurred because of limitations set in place by the country's forces approaching American ships in the area.

Although Iraq claimed that its planes bombed tankers berthed Monday at Iran's Kharg Island oil depot at the head of the Persian Gulf, London loaded the tanks and the tankers were still loading there yesterday.
Techaner's Foreign Ministry said that Iran would not accept the American regulations, instituted a month ago to protect U.S. ships from a nuclear attack while operating in the Gulf and Sea of Oman.
The Pentagon acknowledged yesterday that a U.S. destroyer operating in and near the Strait of Hormuz chased off an Iranian patrol plane and attacked the aircraft across the bow of a second unidentified vessel.
The incidents occurred Sunday in the strategic, horseshoe-shaped strait and in the Gulf of Oman, the eastern gateway to the passage, the Pentagon said.
An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman in Teheran was quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency as saying the U.S. government had formally threatened to deal with any plane flying Gulf or Sea of Oman at an altitude than 2,000 feet and within 5 miles of U.S. Navy ships.
Iran said that responsibility for any incident caused by U.S. action would be paid for by Washington, possibly by the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the West's oil supply flows.
Iran is stockpiling crude oil on tankers outside the Gulf in *a* move that could mean it is considering closing the 40-mile wide strait, the MidEast Report said in today's edition.
The New York-based newsletter said that the stockpiles of Iranian oil were believed to be sitting in ships in the Gulf of Oman or the Indian Ocean outside the Gulf. Saudi Arabia also has stockpiles, much as 80 million barrels of crude on tankers the Gulf as a precautionary measure.
in forts, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tahir Yasin Ranadim said that his country's forces had been deployed.
