University Daily Kansan, September 8, 1983 Reagan seeks change in sex-bias laws By United Press International WASHINGTON — President Reagan embarks on a campaign to mend fences with women today by proposing a law that would erase discriminatory federal laws. The president arranged a meeting with Attorney General William French Smith and other legal advisers to give the go- ahead to move with Congress to wipe out sex discrimination in federal laws. His decisions will be based on a review of a 50-page report prepared by a Justice Department task force. Barbara Honegger, a former aide who worked on the task force, was instructed to contact her with an action with her charges that Reagan had reneged on his promises for equality for women. HONEGGER CALLED TARDY administration efforts to rectify inequities in the law against women a sham. She indicated Justice Department officials were thwarting efforts to move ahead on the problem. Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said a White House side would be consulting with Honegger. However, no one apparently has contacted her vet. An aide said the attorney general would discuss with Reagan 18 cases dealing with discrimination his department was reviewing. Speakes told reporters that the president "will receive a report on the administration's efforts on behalf of women." The aide indicated that Reagan would announce 50 more instances of obsolete federal statutes that made a distinction based on sex between men and women. They would be added to an omnibus bill covering 100 other laws that Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., already has introduced. A PANEL HEADED by Michael Deaver, deputy chief of staff, is considering other legislative initiatives to eliminate economic discrimination against women in the fields of pension insurance and many other payday jobs. However, aides indicated more work needed to be done on these matters. The Deaver group is working closely with Republican congresswomen to Raids on pot fields continue; 6 arrested in Jefferson County From Staff and Wire Reports Law enforcement officials raided three marijuana fields in Jefferson County yesterday, confiscating more than 700 marijuana plants and arresting six people, the Jefferson County sheriff said. Sheriff Ray Dunnaway said that the raid by his deputies and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation netted 759 marijuana plants worth more than $1.5 million. Cultivation and irrigation equipment also were found during the raids, which occurred near Perry. The suspects were booked upon suspicion of possession of marijuana with the intent to sell. Bond was set for each at $100. The raids occurred after about 20 officials from the Lawrence Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff's Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation raided two marijuana fields last week about 18 days after the law enforcement. In those raided six people were arrested and booked on possession of drugs with intent to sell. WHEAT MEET '83 What's a ronzo?

Niacin milks cows for more Bv United Press International MANHATTAN — Adding a few grams of niacin to the feed of cows that have recently calved will increase milk production by about four pounds a cow a day, according to scientists at the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. The scientists say that this finding could have a tremendous economic impact, considering that 11.2 million cows are milked in the United States VOLCANO, Hawaii — Kilauea Volcano's latest eruptive phase stopped as suddenly as it started, ending a thrilling display of molten lava which shot 600 feet into the air. Hawaiian volcano gives show U. S. Geological Survey Chief Scientist Robert Decker said yesterday that the eruption was "short but volumious," pumping about nine million cubic yards of hot lava from a vent on the flank of the volcano. The eruption ended at 5:25 a.m. HST Stressed animals include lactating cows that have just calved and beef cattle being acclimated to nigh grain diets at feedlots. All ruminants at every stage of life do not benefit from niacin supplementation, however. For example, cows in mid-lactation and young herders reportedly showed no beneficial response. Also, the response to niacin is greater in cows fed natural protein, such as soybean meal, than in those fed urea. Molten rock formed a 1.5-mile river northeast of the eruption site, covering a desolate part of land being considered an abandoned development. No people were threatened. SCIENTISTS AT Kansas State University, at other universities and elsewhere, have found that mucin can be released from skin in animals specially beneficial to stressed animals. Previously, it was assumed that ruminants did not require such supplementation. Because the B vitamins are important for the transfer of energy within the body, proper amounts are critical for the fresh cow that requires large quantities of important nutrients. Niacin, one of the B vitamins, in particular, aids in energy release from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. imal's requirements and that B vitamin deficiencies do not occur in ruminants as they do in non-ruminants. "Nagasaki" is an important word that we need to reissess this thinking. Kilauea began spewing hot lava Tuesday morning with an explosion that could be heard 12 miles away. Spectators as far as 50 miles away could see the glowing fountains during the night. yesterday. Decker said it would be difficult to predict when the volcano would again erupt. The scientists used a small herd of cattle to study the ketosis problem. Results of the study showed that none of the cows fed niacin developed ketosis, while others without niacin developed the disorder. The activity marked the eighth major phase of the eruption, which began Jan Kliauea is often called the world's most active volcano. It rises 3,660 feet above sea level on the eastern flank of the 13,660-foot Mauna Loa, which is the other active volcano on the island of Hawaii. The island of Hawaii is 200 miles from Honolulu, which is located on the island of Oahu. ing various experiments, that niacin supplementation could prevent ketosis, a metabolic disease that costs dairy farmers millions of dollars annually in lost production. Serendipity is defined as being valuable that was not originally sought. IN STUDIES SUPPORTED by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Lonza, Inc., the Kansas State University scientists compiled substantial data on the effect of dietary niacin supplementation on milk production in cows. Work done at the experiment station over the last seven years primarily by Bartley resulted in the recent marketing of commercial feed formulations for fresh cows by several national feed companies. Bartley said before his death that manufacturers of the new feed products "have followed our recommendations to the letter, including our suggestion to add approximately six grams of niacin per day to the cow's diet." KAES animal scientists working on the project included T.G. Nagaraja, ruminant nutritionist Dan Riddell, a veterinarian at Burlington Barley, who died in the spring of 1983. "For years we have been instructing our students that rumen microorganisms synthesize B vitamins in quantities adequate to meet the an- "WHEN FRESH COWS go into their peak period of milk production they make use of every energy source available to them," said Nagaraja. "It is at this time that they are most likely to die, but cannot consume enough nutrients in normal feed to keep up with this peak production." Nagaraja explained that in order to produce large quantities of milk to feed her calf, the cow begins using her own body fat as an energy source to produce milk. Normally, the body uses fat, ketones are produced. THE BEST OF THE ROCKIES IS YOURS. 6-1983 Adcock Coors Company, Golden, Colorado 8540481 Receiver of Fine Quality Beers Since 1873.
