selling 3.2 percent beer, could put hundreds of students out of work
"Taverns, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores and any other place that sells alcohol will now be unable to employ young adults," Swenson said. "In many cases these young adults would be forced to quit school without a job."
More than 200 students are employed at the 10 Lawrence taverns that ASK surveyed, he said. These students together earn more than $300,000 a year.
IF THESE STUDENTS lose their jobs, the Board of Regents schools will lose tuition dollars. Swenson said, and KU will lose revenues because students will be unable and other Lawrence businesses will lose sales.
The sales tax paid to the state and city by the 10 taverns surveyed would decrease, he said. The state and city would also lose revenue from state taxes, property taxes and licensing fees that these taverns pay.
But the Rev. Richard Taylor, spokesman for Kansans for Life at its Best, urged the committee to consider highway safety over economic issues.
Taylor requested that the committee take a roll call vote on the bill "so that every citizen will know who is concerned for highway safety and who wants to promote beer sales."
"This is a life and death issue. You will vote to reduce the butchering and slaughter of Kansas youth caused by alcohol-driven drivers, or you will vote to increase the current rate of beer consumption," he said.
RAIISING THE drinking age by one year in exchange for allowing Sunday liquor sales was
"If it's got to be that bill or nothing, let it be nothing," he said.
Paul DeBauge, spokesman for the Kansas Beer Wholealer's Association, said the bill that would allow Sunday liquor sales was like a breath of fresh air.
The present law, which allows drinking in private clubs on Sundays but prohibits Sunday drinking at any time, is supported by the
“Kansan’s ‘of means’ drink in their elbows, while Johnny Lunchbackt” once again can’t enjoy a 2.3 beer white mowing his yard, fishing with a cat and barbecuing with his family,” he said.
VERN OSORN, a spokesman for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said alcohol education was more important than raising the drinking age.
"There will be no significant visible change with a higher minimum age unless and until the adult population gets out of its apathetic bed of old people, we are re-established its collective priorities," he said.
The schools, churches and courts have been unable to correct teenage drunken driving, he
David Kingsley, director of the Mid-America Foundation, said that alcoholism had more to do with religious attitudes and cultural traditions than with age.
Kingsley cited two studies done by H.A. Mulford for the Journal of Studies on Alcohol. In one study, Mulford found that although 89 of 100 Catholic drinks, only 10 allowed become problem drinkers. And although only 48 of 100 Baptists of those would become problem drinkers.
IN ANOTHER STUDY, Muilford found that drinking among Iowa farmers had increased 30
Kingley said, "But no one would suggest passing a law that would stop Iowa farmers from growing wheat."
Tallman said raising the drinking age to 19 would complicate every college social function by creating a division between those who could drink legally and those who could not.
Raising the drinking age would put campus officials in the position of having to enforce an unpunished law, ignore widespread violations or abuses at campuses completely at campus-related activities, be said
ASK has supported increasing education on alcohol abuse, tightening laws that regulate abuse and strengthening the enforcement of those laws, he said.
escape declines in future enrollment, but it would be difficult.
Figures
Because of the declining number of high school seniors, he said, universities might have to find new ways to educate students.

Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said off-campus enrollment declined for more reasons than simply the lack of teacher teaching staff caused by the budget problems.
FOR THE PAST five or six years, many school teachers have enrolled in courses through the Regents Center to fulfill extra requirements established by their school districts, Hutchison said. The teachers' enrollment for the past few years has increased in the increases in the off-campus enrollment figures.
"The teachers created an artificial builge in enrollment," he said. "It was not a permanent trend." Because most of the teachers have set up desks, appointments, off-campus enrollment has dropped.
The FTE was 20,449, down 50 from last spring's total of 20,499.
The full-time equivalent enrolment was also down this semester from last spring.
The FTE IS calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours by the average full-time course loads for undergraduates, graduates and law students.
The Legislature uses the figure to help determine how much money the University will
Some courses, such as graduate level courses and those that require expensive equipment, are offered at the College.
But a breakdown of courses as to level and discipline must be completed before KU will know whether the drop in the FTE figure will affect future funds, said Richard Man, University director of institutional research and information systems.
Mann said that because the decrease in the PTE was so slight, if probably would not hurt KI

Arlegis met yesterday with U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger in Washington for talks "relating to Israeli-American friendship," the Pentagon and Israeli officials said.
Israeli officials said the session focused on improving relations between U.S. Marines and Israeli forces in the Beirut area and the Gaza Strip to secure an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
Arens had sought the meeting since a confrontation between a Marine and Israeli forces near Beirut nearly two weeks ago.

LADY SAID the Regents were not politically oriented, and that Regents decisions were made by a board of trustees.
Lady said the Legislature, in light of the fiscal restraints the state had faced, had provided adequate funds to Regents schools in recent years.

However, he said he realized that the Regents schools had not received all the money that they
THE COMMITTEE questioned Lady about his position regarding legislation that has been introduced this session that could affect Regents schools.
In proposed legislation concerning state community colleges, State Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, has backed a bill that would bring university colleges under control of the Regent.
Lady said he thought community colleges in the state had managed well under local board chairs.
He also said he thought that some education programs had been duplicated among Regents schools.
Because the number of students entering universities had declined recently, there had been greater competition among Regents schools to attract students to their schools, he said.
LADY SAID THE Regents should set up an evaluation program that would review the different schools within state universities.

EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
William Dann
2702 W. 24th St. Terrace
Our empathic and industrious City Commission has endured study, executive and commissional sessions in the course of its work. As its February 8th meeting came to an end, Commissioner Gleason succumbed to job-induced exhaustion and proposed that the Commission proclaim its support of the Equal Rights Amendment. AsEqual Rights Amendment proponents evidently don't realize that the Constitutional terms "people, persons (and) person" refer to members of both genders, they have for some time been attempting to correct a Constitutional deficiency which doesn't exist. While many children, spouses, nurses, schoolteachers, farmers and unemployed struggle against overwhelming odds, E.R.A. proponents demand that more precious time be wasted on their vacuous proposal.
