Director wants program to continue
The new director of the prevention department of the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism said yesterday that she wanted to continue the department's alcohol awareness programs for students in kindergarten through college.

"The idea is to give the children responsible attitudes toward alcohol so that when they get the keys to the car they can make responsible decisions."

By GRETCHEN DAY Staff Reporter
HUBBARD, A 54-YEAR-OFT-dult author, lecturer and educator, calls herself a "potentialist" and is running a "Campaign for a Positive Future."
"I'm running on the platform of building an office of the future," she said. "I'm offering a process of bringing the ideas of peole together."
The office of the future would expand the duties of the vice president to deal with long-range problems and potential solutions.
She said that if she were to run for the presidency she would at best be 52nd.
"The vice presidency is a genuine opportunity," she said. "There are 150 people running for president and one for the vice president."
ALTHOUGH SHE SAYS that she has a slim chance of being chosen as the
"The vice-presidency is under-developed," Hubbard said. "It's mainly used to get votes and money. It is the land of the most important office in the land."
SHE SAID THE NUCLEAR issue had beaten up slowly until "The Day After" was declared.
Hubbard, who lives in California, said she chose to announce her candidacy in Lawrence because of the media attention of the movie "The Day

"We felt the heat," she said.
The nuclear issue, she said, will trigger an awareness of the ethe of love and cooperation.
"We have to aim quickly because time is of the essence," she said. "There is a time bomb — tick, tick, tick."

Feldkamp and other employees and students at the Med Center say they are not parking in the center's parking lots because they don't want to pay for the space. Many have reverted to parking in their neighborhood, which made residents tired.

"The people who aren't parking don't want to pay. Fowler said. "That's the city."
A reserved space in the 750-slot parking garage across from the Bell Memorial Hospital costs $400 a year. And, according to the director of parkings services at the Med Center, only one-third of the slots are sold. But Robert Fowler, the director, also said that the green zone, which cost $50 a year and is the cheapest zone to park, isn't full.

not parking lots.
"We aren't budgeted. The revenue generated by permits and fines is the only money we have," he said. "Our projected earnings for 1984 are $296,000. We are going to toward snow removal, improvements, new equipment and supplies."
Jay Spier, a professor in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine at the Med Center, lives within blocks of the med center and knows how area residents feel. He is a former president of a local neighborhood coordinating council.
"In 1979, when enough residents spoke out about having multitudes of cars parked throughout their neighborhoods, the city finally reacted by parking two-hour parking signs throughout many neighborhoods," Spicer said.
State may dam flood of professionals
Staff Reporter
By ROB KARWATH
That study came one step closer to becoming reality yesterday when the state Senate unanimously passed a measure authorizing it.
The measure, which now goes to the House of Representatives for approval, authorizes the Legislative Coordinating Council to appoint a committee of legislators to conduct the study and to complete it by December.
TOPEKA — The Legislature may reduce enrollment at the University of Kansas Medical Center if a proposed law there is too many doctors in the state.

Washburn University's School of Law
and Kansas State University's School of
Veterinary Medicine could have their
State Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Parsons, said the study was intended to avoid a flood of doctors, lawyers and veterinarians in Kansas. He said the Legislature had the power to limit the enrollments at the Med Center, Washburn and K-State because they were all state schools.

"My principal concern is that we are on the verge of having too many of these professionals in the state," he said. "I'm not going to presume any more about the study has been completed. It's something we at least ought to look at."
and veterinarians moved to Kansas from other states. But, he said, cutting enrollments at the three schools is the only way the Legislature can reduce the number of these professionals in Kansas.
JOHNSTON SAID HE REALIZED that all professionals graduating from the three schools did not stay in the state and that many doctors, lawyers
The measure called only for the Med Center's enrollment to be studied when Johnston introduced it last April. But the Senate Ways and Means Committee amended the measure to include enrollments at Washburn and K-State.
The Med Center has an enrollment limit of 200 students for each entering course.
Richard Von Ende, the KU executive secretary to the chancellor, declined to comment yesterday whether he thought the study was good or bad. However, he said the Board of Regents was now conducting a similar study.

Sen. Winter might attend Berlin talks
TOPEKA - State Sen Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, is scheduled to fly to Berlin later this month. A conference on U.S. foreign policy
Winter learned yesterday afternoon that he was one of 15 Americans tentatively selected by the Aspen Institute for the Humanities, a non-profit group in Denver, to attend the expenses-paid conference Feb. 19-22. He is expecting a call today confirming his selection
He said 20 other world political leaders would be at the conference, including representatives from the United States and several East Bloc countries.
"From what I understand they want more input from people closer to the public as opposed to top government officials," he said.
WINTER SAID HE was shocked but pleased to learn he might be going. Officials from the Institute didn't want the participants to be involved directly in their countries' governments.
The topic of the conference will be "Where is the USA Heading?" Winter said the role of America's foreign policy would be a major issue.
One reason the institute selected him was because Lawrence has recently dined international attention from the film, "The Day After." Winter said. Part of the movie, which depicts a nuclear attack on Kansas City, takes place in Lawrence.
