Carlin supports governor's mansion pool
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Gov. John Carlin said yesterday he sees no reason to postpone or cancel the installation of a $20,000 swimming pool at the governor's mansion, despite the unfavorable publicity it has received.
In a subdued voice, the Democratic governor said that as far as he knew, the circumstances surrounding the swimming pool project had been up front. But because the project is being handled by Friends of Cedar Crest — a
nonprofit group established to improve the governor's mansion — Carlin said he had little "first-hand" information on the pool.
CARLIN'S WIFE, Karen, is an ex-officio member of the organization's board.
The pool is to be paid for with private contributions, some of which already have been pledged. The only tax dollars associated with the pool would be those used for maintenance, Carlin's office has said.
Republican Party Chairman Dave
Owen this week criticized Carlin by saying the timing for the pool project was unfortunate because the economy was in a poor condition. Carlin said he thought Republican backers of President Reagan were supposed to be optimistic that the economy was improving steadily.
Reports surfaced this week showing that Topeka lawyer John Frieden, who is the major solicitor of contributions for the pool, was recently a candidate for a part-time state job traditionally considered a political patronage appointment.
Mid-life crisis brings abrupt change
By JUDITH HINDMAN
Staff Writer
At 8 a.m. today, Richard Haynes, chicken farmer, will walk through his three chicken houses, pick up the night's accumulation of dead birds and toss them into the back of his mud-caked pickup truck.
Staff Writer
At 8 a.m. five years ago, Richard Haynes, autor, authorible executive, walked through the district office in Kansas to meet the morning mail and a cup of coffee.
HE WAS A RESPECTED, successful member of the corporate structure and had been rewarded with money and hints of future promotions.
But in 1978, when he was 37, Haynes suddenly walked away from all the symbols of his success — executive job, luxury cars, vacations in Bermuda.
He bought a chicken farm on a dusty hillside outside of Noel, Mo., population
David Holmes, KU professor of psychology, described Haynes' radical breaking away from his former life as a mid-life identity crisis.
"THE GENERAL NOTION is that men start out with a driving force that is characteristically achievement-oriented," he said.
"At about mid-life, men achieve their goal, they get the paneled office and the fancy car, and they find there is not much to it."
According to Lawrence Wrightman, KU professor of psychology, it is only in the past few years that psychologists have discovered that occur during the mid-life years.
"Only in the last two or three years have there begun to be some classes and textbooks on this," he said. "Before, so much developmental psychology was about children, adolescents or the aging."
LAST SPRING, Weightman taught
Urs first class about this age group.
He took us to the playground.
Haynes agreed with Holmes' description of his break with his former
"There's no doubt that it was a mid-life crisis, he said. "I was 37 at the time, had ended one sour marriage, and had already accomplished the goals that I had when I got out of college.
"I had an executive position, luxury cars, travel — but when I got it all, I was unhappy. And I only had more responsibility to look forward to."
FRIEDEN IS ACTIVELY involved in Democratic politics, including raising money for Carlin's re-election effort last year. He has denied he became involved in the pool project for political gain.
Now Haynes looks forward to getting up with the chickens and then gathering their eggs.
HIS THREE CHICKEN houses hold about 21,000 chickens that produce an average of 9,900 eggs a day — all of them gathered by hand.
Wrightman said that psychologist David Krantz had described a phenomenon similar to Haynes' experience in Seymour Saranson's book, 'Work,
Krantz called it "the Santa Fe Experience."
Aging and Social Change."
Wrightman said that Krantz had a number of examples, such as advertising and bank executives who had moved to Santa Fe and had become bartenders or directors of small art museums.
"All had changed occupations and opted for a less pressured lifestyle," he
Carlin said he feared the unfavorable publicity surrounding the pool project would discourage people from contributing to other improvement projects. The committee, including a banquet hall that recently had been under consideration
"It IS REALLY fascinating when that happens. I would say that similar processes are happening in all men, but that the results can vary." Wrightman
Holmes said that many men experienced a change in values when going through a mid-life identity crisis.
WRIGHTSMAN SAID that often these breaks with former lifestyles were changes that had been coming for a long time and that often there had been earlier indications that these changes might happen.
Haynes said that he had reached a stage in his life where the change was
BOTH PSYCHOLOGISTS said that little research had been done in this study and we should keep it on hold.
"I used to drink a lot, but now when I get too uptight, I get on the tractor and ride and use the brush hog to mow down the weeds.
"I ride and ride, and the motor dromes on and on — it's soothing, and it works."

Med Center library shut down to move materials into Dykes
University of Kansas Medical Center students and personnel had better plan ahead if they want to use the medical library between July 11 and 15, Earl Cairn director of the Glenandean Library at the Med Center, said yesterday.
Those are the dates scheduled for moving almost 100,000 volumes of materials from the library to the new building. D. Bykes Health Sciences Library
He said the remaining floors of the library would remain open during the move and that the History of Medicine Library would remain closed during the move. ADVERTISING, 30,000
THE MEDICAL LIBRARY, which is housed on the bottom four floors of Clendening Library, will be moved to the new building and will be unaccessible during the move, said Farley.
Of the Medical Library's 130,000 volumes, 95,000 books will be moved to Dykes, Farley said.
He said the other 35,000 volumes,
which are old medical journals rarely used, would be stored in Clendening, because the college could not afford to pay for microfilming the older jour-
Although most of Clendening will be open, Farley said, people might want to visit.
"WITH ALL THOSE people moving all those volumes, there's going to be a lot of them."
Farley said that in an emergency, such as someone needing information to prepare a grant request or to verify an article going into publication, the library will try to arrange access to the medical library stacks.
The History of Medicine Library will expand to the first and second floors of Clandender, and the basement and third floor will be used for storage, he said.
The summer hours of Clendening

7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays. 8 a.m. to
saturdays and 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

One-time mental patient says that he murdered 100 people
By United Press International
MONTAGUE, Texas - A judge yesterday set a $1 million bond and appointed three psychiatrists to examine former mental patient Henry Lee Lucas, 45, charged with killing two women and self-implicated in another 100 slavings.
Judge Frank Douthitt ordered Lucas, who served time for killing his mother 23 years ago, held in lieu of $1 million bond in the stabbing death of Kate Rich, 80, of Ringgold in Montague County, 90 miles northwest of Dallas.
In Denton, Texas, officials dug up the skeletal remains of a 15-year-old girl whom District Attorney Jack McGaugay said may have been Lucas.
lacems and been drawing pictures of the 100 or more women, mostly hichirkers and runaways in their teens or early 20s, he says he killed, and helping authorities match them with descriptions of missing or slain women. 2
McGaughay said officials were in investigating Lucas' statements about other killings in Texas, as well as slayings in California and Louisiana.
DOUHTHIT, WHO IMPPOSED a gag order in the case, named two Wichita Falls psychiatrists and one Dallas
Authorities found bone fragments believed to have come from Richs body in a wood-burning stove at Lucas residence in nearby Stoneburg.
LUCAS WAS ARRESTED June 11 on a charge of illegal possession of a weapon by a felon. He subsequently began giving investigators sketches and information on 60 cases, said Texas Ranger Phil Ryan.

"SUPPLY-SIDE" GOLFERS TEE OFF ON THE ANIMATE
Is the unwavering optimism of the "supply-side" crowd the inevitable result of their having played too much golf? Golifers, please remember, create jobs for caddies and other attendant personnel every time they visit the exclusive settings designed for their convenience, comfort, and currency. After many hours of such quasi-entrepreneurial activity, many "supply-siders" lost contact with reality during the last Presidential campaign and promised us a balanced budget, thriving economy, and military force second to none.
Although understandably shaken by their failure to achieve these laudable goals, "supply-siders" have not stopped fantasizing. The Reagan Administration is now threatening with an audit any restaurant employee whose total reported tips are less than $8% of his employer's (the restaurant's) sales. While some affluent golfers still enjoy tax-exempt "three-Martini lunches", harried restaurant employees labor under a Reagan Administration-devised formula which ignores their differing work environments because its purpose is to wring from them more tax dollars.
Perhaps Chief Justice John Marshall could still see that "the power to tax involves the power to destroy" because he wasn't a golfer.
