Hart is victorious in N.H. primary
By United Press International
CONCORD, N.H. — Gary Hart, promising to lead "the crusade for this country's future," stunned Democratic front-runner Walter Monaco in a upset victory in the New Hampshire primary.
The surprise victory shifts the fragile momentum of presidential politics to the Colorado senator's camp, and throws a serious monkey-wrench into what has been an unimpeded drive by Mondale for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The results buried most of the crowded field, leaving three realistic contenders — Mondale, Hart and Sen. John Glenn of Ohio, who finished third.
"This is a massive victory," an elated Hart said. "We're obviously the product of an awful lot of things."
"I'm not prepared at this moment to claim the position of front-runner, but I know one thing — we've buried the label 'dark horse,'" Hart said. "What we have is something no other 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 two primaries coming up in the next three weeks would defeat Hart.
With 95 percent of the total vote Rep. Hart had 37,207 votes or 41 percent; Mon 26,079 or 28 percent; Glenn, 11,223 or 12 per former Sen. George McGovern, 5,258 percent; civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, or 6 percent; Sen Ernest Hesstroff, 4,972 percent; Alan Cranston, 0.24 or 2 per and former Gov. Rebin Askew of Florida, 9.1 percent.
If those percentages hold up, Hart will win delegates to Democratic National Conferen- tion.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court refused in an unanimous ruling yesterday to ban sex discrimination from all programs that a college offers merely because its students receive federal financial aid
By United Press International
The decision, a setback 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.
College sex bias allowed by court despite funding
Lawmakers immediately announced plans to introduce legislation broadening the application of federal laws barring sex discrimination.
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 be opposed on other programs at institutions.
such institutions:

explained their decision. 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.

... that charms her whirlwind career

Buffy Johnson thinks she must have the luck of the Irish. And she just might.
she just might. At least her modeling career has seemed charmed from the start.
A KU freshman from Prairie Village and this year's Miss Kansas contest for the Miss USA Pageant, Buffy, or Elizabeth Therese Johnson, has felt the tug of the glamorous life since the first gusts of a whirlwind career began to stir around her.

In a green montage of tottering spectators, a woman picked out the face that later would be framed and focused in countless photo sessions, after winning the 1983 Miss Kansas title.

The women who received invitations to participate in the pageant must have been nominated by someone 21 or older. Johnson said she still did not know who had nominated her. Her name was submitted to Bob Gorham for final recruiting. Miss USA Pagage. During the invitation only days before she was expected to compete and facing two tests the following week, Johnson made the trip for the pageant.
"Mom said to just go and have fun," Johnson said. She was surprised how much fun it actually was, even before she won the title, she said.
"It really was more like a retreat than a pageant," she said. "I'd always heard how everyone clawed and scratched each other's eyes out, but it wasn't like that at all. It was a close feeling — I still see girls on campus who were in the pageant."
Johnson said that even though the women were there to compete. Myers and his wife made an effort to downplay that aspect of the pageant and instead encouraged a close, friendly atmosphere.
But Johnson wonders whether that amiable atmosphere extends to the world of professional modeling. She has her doubts about how well, and for how long, she would like the more competitive, hectic life of a full-time model. Even so, if faced with a choice between school and modeling, she would have to give her dream a chance and go with modeling, she said.

She has an interest in radio-television broadcasting and is now enrolled in 13 hours, something she said many former Miss USA contestants do not attempt to do.
Jugging both schoolwork and a blooming career is something that has taken a back seat.
Johnson makes frequent trips home to Kansas City, Mo., for a modeling job that she has with Macy's, photo sessions and preparations for the Miss USA pageant on May 17. Because the pageant in Lakeland, Fla., is scheduled for early spring, Johnson said, she will have to leave school the third week in April.

that has to be handled delicately.
Time is a precious thing and also something that has to be budgeted now with her increasing involvement in college activities. Besides the approaching pageant, course work, and modeling jobs in Kansas City, Johnson pledged a sorority two months ago and will appear on the Pike Dreamgirl calendar.
Johnson likes the fast-paced life though.
"I just hope everybody understands," she said.
Johnson has discovered that modeling can be a demanding profession. After the Miss Kansas Pageant, she was whisked off to a room to sign contracts and then on to a reception, before she was allowed to return to her friends who had been in the audience.

A big part of her love for modeling is the chance to meet so many people, she said. Her roommate will be Miss Vermont, and Johnson said, "I'm telling my friends that if anyone sees her and
During the three weeks the contestants are in Florida, they will interview with the judges and tape the entire show up to the point that the 12 finalists are announced. The contestants are responsible for picking out a state costume and an evening gown.
Besides meeting Bob Barker, all of the contestants, and a chaperone who will become a constant companion, she said there is always the possibility of meeting a business contact and happening to get a break. One woman in the pageant last year met the man in charge of the World's Fair, she said.
There is a lot to be said for meeting the right people. At least Johnson's career would reflect that theory. Her initial recognition at that St. Patrick's Day Parade led to photo sessions with a beauty salon called Magnify with Mary McCoy and sales brochures and with a Wilson sportswear catalogue.

She has no formal agent but says her name manages to get out with the help of photographers and fashion coordinators. The traditional, runway modeling has been a part of her three-year career, with appearances for E.B.T. Restaurant on PM Magazine, the Curwin Co., Marci Cecil Productions and the Central Exchange Show in Crown Center Hotel.
Her career has evolved into doing several commercials for Dairy Queen, Big Foot Combs and Wal-Mart. Commercial jobs pay a flat rate of about $700 each, and the model is paid a percentage every time the commercial runs.
every time I talk about money was not the main factor in considering a job, commercials paid better than photo sessions and runway modeling because those jobs were paid by the hour.
Although fashion consultants have told Johnson that her best color is blue, she has definite ideas about her own favorite color. It's lavender.
And it's also surprising that I have done for her, one would think it would be green.
