Tuela a little bit numb," she said of her finish. PHILLIP ENDACOTT, assistant director of housekeeping for KU facilities operations, the seventh-place fincher, said, "I'm certainly disappointed. But I've fulfilled an obligation that I've felt personally."
Corbet Collins, owner of Henry's Restaurant, Sixth and Missouri streets, said he was not disappointed by his eighth-place finish.
"I've enjoyed every minute of it," he said. "I met a lot of new friends."
Others unsuccessful candidates were Larry Cole, a private investor; Milton Collins, the owner of Uncle Milty's Cafe; Robert Isaacson, the only KU student to file for the primary; Florence Tyler, an electronics technician for
King Radio; and Don Brownstein, KU associate professor of philosophy.
OF THE 30,865 voters registered for the primary election, 8,561, or almost 28 percent. Lawrence primary turnouts have not been higher than the 1975, said Patty Jaimes, Douglas County clerk.
She said that 57 percent of the 38,799 people registered for last November's state election were Democrats.
Voter turnout for the primary might have been haged by yesterday's unseasonably warm weather.
Yesterday's election was among the smoothest in recent memory, Jaimes said. No significant problems cropped up to mar the voting or arrangements.
The last precinct reported at 9:50 last night.
SHE SAID 123 absentee ballots, up from previous years, were cast in yesterday's primary.
Election results came in late, she said, because a separate five-man counting board was not hired to begin counting ballots at noon, as is usually the case. Since there were not enough school board candidates to require a full ballot, the counting board was not necessary.
The receiving board — pollworkers who hand out the ballots — did not begin counting the ballots until the polls closed at 7 p.m.
There are 30 polling places scattered throughout the city, she said, each with five workers.
She said that the cost to the city of a primary election was about $10,000.
THE DOUGLAS COUNTY COMMISSION will envisage the primary results, which will be delivered to the governor.
They will take office April 12 and be paid a $990 annual salary.
The two top vote-getters in the April 5 general election will receive four-year terms on the commission, and the third place finisher will receive a two-year term.
David Allen, Lawrence junior, last week announced that he would run for the commission as a Democrat.
Voter registration books for those who want to register for the general election will be open until
late.

Soppelaa said the only support the Applied English Center received from the state was the use of KU classrooms and money for utilities.
In addition, she said, the center is a consultant to similar centers in state elementary and middle schools.
She said she received two requests a week from groups in the state to help their local second language programs. The center does not charge for consulting, she said.
"NOT ONLY DOES the AEC pay its own way, it contributes to the University and the state in ways that Rep. Dean is not aware of," Soppelsa said.
The Applied English Center, in the second floor of Lippincott Hall, employs 45 graduate teaching assistants, three full-time instructors and four faculty administrators, she said.
All non-English speaking students who apply to the University must first take a placement examination at the center, Soppelmaid said. The students then take from one to three semesters of classes at the center, depending on their progress in learning English.
Almost all of the students taking Applied English classes are citizens of other countries, some of them are Vietnamese or Hispanics who are U.S. citizens, she said.
ABOUT 40 PERCENT of the 350 students take only applied English classes, Soppela said, which focus on reading, writing, grammar and speaking.
Four levels of English are taught at the center, she said. When a student has taken the final two levels, he also may enroll in other KU classes.
She said that the department of foreign student services, which handles travel visas and advising for foreign students, received all of its services was allocated $90,000 for this fiscal year.
However, she said, foreign students at KU, who number 1,619, add to the University's full-time equivalent enrollment, which determines part of the money allocated by the state.
"If you totaled up all the dollars spent on those two offices, it would be nowhere near the amount of money coming to KU from tuition," she said.
PAUL SCHUMAKER, chairman of the department of political science, said that teaching college students caused professors some extra effort but did not affect their success and variety foreign students provided to a class.
Foreign students comprise about 40 percent of political science graduate students, he said.
The political science department offers a class, Logic of Political Inquiry, especially for foreign students, Schumaker said. The class is based on the main concepts of Western political thought.
The extra trouble language differences me2 cause for professors is small compared with the distribution foreign students' backgrounds and experiences can give the program, Schumaker said.

the athletic department is a five-minute sports show every day featuring KU athletics.
He said that Stauffer, which owns radio station WIBW in Topeka, would have to study the cost of the permanent telephone lines needed to make the broadcasts each day.
BARRY GASTON, general manager of KPH radio in Wichita, said he had not yet made a deal with the company.
He said he was more interested in gaining the broadcast rights for the company that owns KFH, the AIF Landon Network. That company also owns WREN radio in Topeka, which would be a better station geographically for the broadcasts, he said.
The main motivation behind the Landon Network's interest, Gaston said, was not to make money but rather to see that the broadcasts were done correctly. He said broadcasts would probably not be profitable for his company in the first year.
Hank Booth, general manager of KLW radio in Lawrence, said his station would definitely
BOOTH ALSO SAID the network would not make much money for KLWN in the first few years because of the poor market currently for KU sports.
The daily sports feature program would not be a problem for KLWN, Booth said, because of the situation in the city.
The Kansas Information Network, based in Wichita, intends to submit a bid in the next few days, Frank Gum, general manager of KAKZ radio in Wichita, said.
Gunn said money and prestige were the primary motivations behind his network's interest in broadcasting KU football and basketball games.

A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
ASK's research shows that 51% of the black male athletes and 60% of the black female athletes of the nation's recruiting class this year would not have been eligible under the new rules. To racially discriminate is to distinguish between the races; obviously these tests, which failed to disqually almost half of a particular racial group, were not racially discriminatory. The test scores do illustrate, however, that many high school graduates are not ready for college work. The government should be using tax dollars to shore up and render effective our now underfunded and understaffed public education system. Without such an allocation of resources, many public schools will continue giving students credit for time spent enduring rock music, discussing extraterrestrial life, and doing office work.
An act of racial discrimination used to require a designing agent, but recently some have discerned in standardized tests the will to discriminate. This discovery is one cause of the Associated Students of Kansas' (ASK's) opposition to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA's) new freshman eligibility standards for college athletes. ASK objects to the NCAA's requiring of freshman athletes a 2.0 high school grade point average in a core curriculum of English, mathematics and science and a score of 700 on the SAT or the equivalent of 15 on the ACT. According to Mr. Scott Swenson, ASK's campus director, some of ASK's distress can be traced to those studies which concluded that standardized tests were racially discriminatory.

Each year the governmentally-supported educational apparatus spews forth more graduates bereft of basic knowledge. While ASK concerns itself with the relatively few members of this group who are athletically inclined, each high school graduate unable to pass such an impartially administered test is the victim of a societly-condoned education system which fails to discriminate and thus exploits.
