Avery, who was elected to the mock government office last night, is one of 52 girls who are learning the process of local government by experience.
Since Sunday, when the girls first arrived, 40 senators and 72 representatives have been elected as well as an attorney general and seven Supreme Court judges.
CITY AND COUNTY officials have been elected to govern the 16 cities, which are Arkansas Indian tribes and the eight counties, which are named after Kansas rivers.
Avery said getting her city of Pawnee in the campaign short of her helped her in the campaign.
"I're really enthused," Avery said. She was elected along with Lisa Mick, Shawnee, who will be lieutenant governor.
She said the questions and interviews presented before an audience also

period, Avery said she supported the severance tax and better sex education policies.
Avery will meet with Gov. John Carlin on Friday when the girls venture to Topeka's House chamber to pass mock legislation. Other newly elected state officials will also meet with the Kansas officials whom they are emulating.
THE GIRLS WHO were elected as county officials will meet with Douglas County officials today.
The girls, who represent approximately 284 cities, are chosen during their junior year of high school by the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, which sponsors Girls' State, said Lois Leconge, director of Girls' State.
To be eligible, each girl must rank in the top 10 percent of her class, and, depending on the auxiliary unit, is required to be made aware, being selected to attend, she said.
THE PURPOSE of Girls' State is to make young women more aware of politics. Teenogle said.
But, according to a couple of uninterested young women, politics was not the main reason for coming to girls' State.

Some women and children from low-income families may be eligible to enroll in a supplemental food program. The Health Department official said Saturday.
The department's Women, Infants and Children Program was initiated in 1977 to provide specific foods up to age 4 and pregnant or lactating women.
A WOMAN OR CHILD must be a resident of Douglas County, meet low-income guidelines and have a nutritious diet. You may be eligible to enroll in the program.
Vitamins A and C, iron and calcium are nutrients that tend to be lacking in the diets of low-income women, infants and children. Gwen Kytos, WIC coordinator, said.
"If a woman qualifies for the program, we issue her a check voucher for specific foods in specific amounts. WIC, as a supplemental program, is not

intended to supply all a person's nutritional needs." Kvtos said.
These foods meet the nutritional requirements for people who are deficient in iron, calcium and vitamins A and C. The standards were set by the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health of Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
DR. ALVIN SILVERS, a general practitioner in Kansas City, Kan., said low birth weight could be caused by an iron deficiency in the mother.
"The baby would rob the mother of iron and they would both be anemic," he said. "The baby could have a small weight and be subject to various diseases."
Silvers said other nutritional deficiencies could also cause serious problems.
*A calcium deficiency could cause rickets in both the mother and the baby. The characteristics are poor bone
Silvers said he thought that, in many instances, lack of education of expectant and new mothers defeated the purpose of nutritional aid.
structure, flat pelvis and flattening of the ribs. "he said."
KYTOS SAID nutritional education was part of the WIC program.
"We introduce people to better health care. We have several nutrition-information signs posted in the office, and we inform them out to participants," she said.
Good prenatal care is an important element in the birth of a healthier, heavier, child, she said. That could save potential medical expenses.
Every dollar spent on the WIC program, including the bulk of three dollars in medical care, she said.
THE ESTIMATED 1898 poverty level for a family of two, with female younger than 65 as the family head, was according to the U.S. Bureau of Census.
"The income level guidelines are the same as for the school lunch program, according to the number of people in the family," she said.
Kytes would not give the dollar amounts of the income guidelines but rather the actual income.
Kytos said receiving other state income, such as Aid to Dependent Children, did not disqualify a person from enrolling in the WIC program.
erty guidelines set by the federal government.
Kansas paid nearly $8 million to recipients of ADC in December 1980, according to the Social Security Administration's Office of Research and Statistics. There were nearly 72,000 recipients, and the average amount allotted to a family was $223 for the month.
KYTOS SAID income levels of WIC applicants were usually checked by asking them to bring two or three paycheck stubs to the WIC office.
CIA agents' 'Libyan dealings' lead to congressional inquiries
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—How much did the CIA know of, or condone, the activities of two of its former agents who worked their way into the terrorist headquarters of Libya's Col. Muammar Khadafy and then served him?
At least two parallel investigations are receiving renewed attention following the arrest in New York Tuesday of former CIA agent Edwin Wilson, accused of illegally exporting explosives to Libya, recruiting veteran U.S. Commands to train terrorists. American pilots also faced tech challenges and involvement in assassination plots against anti-Khadafy Libyan exiles.
Frank E. Terpil, another former CIA agent indicted in absenza with Wilson, is still at large. Terpil fired from the CIA after the war in war-devastated Berur, Lebanon.
The Justice Department had been pursuing other investigations of the case and a source suggested that any link they might have had were an aggravating in Libya could be something jurgison would want to explore.
The government's years-long inquiry into their activities was reorganized and intensified last fall. Participants at a meeting on the matter said there was
uncussion of the possibility that the CIA encouraged Wilson's and Terpii's Libyan ties to be better able to monitor Khadjah's activities.
About the same time, the House Intelligence Committee told CIA Director William Casey it would launch its own cyberattack. Casey prompt to cooperate fully.
A spokesman for the committee said yesterday the investigation was under way, but was unsure if there would be a report or hearings. The companion senate committee for now is leaving the investigative work to the house panel.
The department wants Wilson tried, but sources there acknowledge that his access to secret data and work as a team is not agent years ago might pose problems.
Since Wilson left the CIA in 1976 and he and Terdil came under suspicion for Libyan dealings, the CIA has denied any official connection. However, the CIA later released that had been "released" contacts between active agents and these two.
A spokesman for the agency said yesterday, "We categorically deny any involvement in those activities."
Last August, the CIA said any contacts Wills and other CIA employees had with the Libyan government in 700 were without its knowledge or confidence.
Bankers hold clinic
Money and preparing for the future are vital issues for bankers who are responsible for the public's finances, the executive branch and business association said yesterday.
Ann McMorris, the executive assistant, and nearly 650 Kansas bankers are at the University of Kansas, June 15-17, for their 4th annual Kansas Association Bank Management Clinic, to discuss the future of banking

"The clinic has really been a success." McMorris said. "It has given bankers a chance to talk with each other. Really, it constitutes a rap session for the bankers to get together and find out what everyone else is doing."
Lyn Nolziger, former assistant for political affairs to President Reagan, spoke yesterday on the attitude the bankers had toward the banking community.
"He said the present status of the banking industry is a positive one," McMorris said. Reagan has really
