Mike Glover, assistant prosecuting attorney for Douglas County, auctions off a tie donated by Gov. John Carlin yesterday afternoon. The auction took place at the Harvey County Democratic picnic held at the Vilnand Fairgrounds in southern Douglas County.
Carlin
he said. "The issues are real. The burden on the taxpayer is real. The need of higher education is real."

He said the more known about the issue, the better a chance it has of being adopted.
"Seventy or 80 percent of the tax will be payed by out-of-states," he said. "It has become more difficult to afford."
"It will be difficult for the oil and gas industry to convince the public that this tax is going to be deterrent."
CARLIN SAID farmers too, had suffered a setback by the cuts in the new farm bill.
"Agriculture is caught in the grip of the budget squeeze," he said. "I know agriculture would like to have its solutions in the marketplace, but these target prices are critical."
Carlin switched the topic to highway spending, saying he wanted to increase highway spending because he said it was "just like investing your money.
"Lawrence and Douglas County are some of the fastest growing areas in the state," he said. "A transportation system is the very heart of the overall economy."
"It is something that helps the economy grow, and as the economy grows, the tax base expands."
Carlin said local, city and county leaders had demonstrated a desire to pool their resources
DAVID BERKOWITZ, Douglas County Democratic chairman and organizer of the picnic, said the budget cuts had brought the Democratic Party closer together.
"Democrats face both challenges and op-
portions today." Herkwitz said, "we have to face the possibility that the administration is prepared to rape the environment, to limit food in school children and to not bus troubles, but unions."
"There could be no tomorrow without Democrats."
After Carlin spoke, he helped with an auction to raise money for the Democratic Party. The numerous items included Carlin's blue tie and a Robert F. Kennedy campaign button.
Midway through the auction, Carlin slowly made the rounds through the crowd on his way out. Behind him, the echo of the loudspeaker at the rally was evidence that the political campaigns of 1982 had begun.
Cars

special award was given to Jerry Perry of Roville for driving the farthest.
Spectators participated in picking a winner for the "people's choice" category. The winner was a restored '57 Chevy belonging to Bob Conklin of Topeka.
The cars were judged on their overall appearance.
Kansas is one of three states in the United States where a car is not considered an antique until it is 35 years old. In other states a car is an antique on its 25th anniversary.
Engling said the reason was that there were too many of the cars in this area of the country.
Regents
for the increase and the department of Defense
scholarships will adjust also, he said.
From page 1
While scholarships and tuition are being increased, federally funded capitation grants are not.
Capitation grants, federal funds given to the Med Center for every person enrolled in the medical school, evolved when there was a shortage of doctors and nurses. Von Ende said.
The pharmacy program also receives capitation grants which will he cut, he said.
The Med Center administration wasn't informed of the grant cuts until after the fiscal year had started, Von Ende said, so they are operating as though they had not lost the money.
About $60,000 in capitation grants is being cut at Lawrence campus and $473,497 at the Med Center.
VON ENDE said they were going to request funds from the Board of Regents at its October meeting to make up for the cuts.
If the Regents give their approval, the request will go before the Legislature, he said.
Research grants and other programs, especially international research, may obstruct the ax. Von Fendle said.
In other business, the Regents approved an increase in the Emergency Medical Training program.
The increase is a result of the loss of federal funds, which supported the program in part.
Von Ende said he had received letters from many EMT programs that supported the in-
formation.
"They know it's necessary to keep EMT going," he said.
