than a year and would lose their license for one year
Now, courts can incarcerate a second-time offender and if warranted, fine him.
- Third-time offenders within a five-year period would be fired between $1,000 and $2,500, would be jailed for 30 days to one year, and would lose their license for a least a year.
- All people convicted for drunken driving would be required to attend an alcohol and drug abuse treatment.
- Plea-bargaining for a lesser penalty would be prohibited, including pleas for diversion programs, which are aimed at rehabilitating drupek drivers.
THE PROHIBITION of plea-bargaining for first-time offenders drew criticism from several legislators, including State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence.
Now, the law allows first-time offenders to plead guilty and avoid prosecution if they join a group of convicted killers.
That system is working well in many areas of the state, Solbach said, especially in Johnson County.
present laws are adequate," Solbach said. "I think people realize how well they are working."
"They leave the discretion where it ought to be, in judicial level—not in the hands of the prosecutor."
But one criticism of the plea-bargaining program has been that it allows first-time offenders to escape conviction, then return to the county jail. A state law — after being arrested for the same offense.
However, the bill approved yesterday in a committee would resolve battle, *Charlie Brown*.
This bill would allow first-time offenders to escape heavy punishment by joining an alcohol program, but would not allow their first offense to be erased from their record.
"I think there's a big difference between the bills," Charlton said.
The bill tentatively approved by the House yesterday, probably will not win Senate approval, Charlton said. But the second bill, expected to be introduced next week, is a good chance, bsa said.
HOWEVER, only two weeks remain before the Legislature takes its first adjournment.
In Lawrence, stricter DWI legislation would lead to more convictions of offenders of drunken driving laws, said Bruce Beeley, director of the Alcohol Safety Action Project, 2449 Iowa St.
limiting the possibility for consideration of many new bills.
The bill approved yesterday would make a prosecutor's job "infinitely more easy" in convicting people for drunken driving—and that's good. Beale said.
"I do believe there ought to be more convictions of drunken drivers," he said.
However, KU students are not a very large part of Lawrence's drunken driving problem, Beale said. Although KU students make up about one-third of the Lawrence population, only 10 percent of DWI offenses in Lawrence involve KU students, he said.
"The average offender is 27 years old, married, working and has children." Beale said.
"The KU population is not represented in
the university, but be given, there
80,000 students on campus."
However, Beale said the discrepancy in the statistics could be attributed to the fact that fewer students had cars than people in the city at large.

"That's the problem. At this age, people aren't worrying about what's going to happen to them."
"People ought to be aware of the potential problems and make their own choices. It is just plain right."
And many KU students choose the former.
People do have the choice—to sunbathe or not to sunbath.

"I've learned that the concert business is very complex."
But Chilton and Art Farmer, IFC adviser, said they wouldn't hesitate to take on a similar project in future years because the University was so open to the idea.
expertise to put on this type of deal alone," Chilton said.
Services and Tom Anderson, manager of facilities
operated with IFC in planning the $120,000 venture.
"THERE WERE'T any problems from the University's standpoint," Farrer said.
Chilton said University administrators, including Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director, members of the University Events Committee, Don Kearns, director of Parking
Chilton said the administration approved a plan for a concert set-up that had never been tried before in Memorial Stadium. Two stages were planned for the south end of the field. The field was to be covered with the turf tarp used in Arrowhead Stadium so that 5,000 people could be seated on the field, Chilton said. The tarp would have cost $9,000.
In addition to Cheap Trick and Three Dog Night, Shooting Star, Head East, Missouri and Huey Lewis and the News were expected for the concert as of Monday, March 22, Chilton said. He
said the groups were chosen from more than 50 that Friig and IP C had seriously considered.
"AS OF MONDAY, I was without a doubt,
were all everyone else involved--that the
show would be."
This was to be the fourth Hawkstock sponsored by IFC. IFC has already purchased the KU van for the handicapped with proceeds from the concerts. Last year, IFC raised $8,000 for a Kurzweil reading machine, a $20,000 computer that reads text aloud.
Chilton said the remaining $12,000 needed to purchase the reading machine could have been obtained from a 5% discount.
Tickets were to be $ in advance for students.
$7.75 for non-students, and $12 the day of the concert.
The tickets would have entitled concert-goers to free beer during the concert. Chancellor said the event was not going to be free.
"A big part of Hawkstock in the past had been private donations," he said.
And the commercial sponsors of the event said they would continue to support Hawkstock.
"Right now, realistically, we're looking to next year. "Farmer said.
Although Hawkstock has been canceled for this spring, both Chilton and Farmer said that the team was preparing to move.

She said the busiest time of the day was between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
"A lot of the girls go out there when it starts getting warmer," she said.
Melissa Rodgers, Denver senior and member of Pi Beta Phi, said many women in her sorority use the house's front porch to soak up the sun between classes.
"I just go out there to study," said Ladonna Tousley, Arkansas City freshman and resident of Corbin Hall. She sunbathes on a balcony at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall.

it usually takes quite a bit longer,” he said.
“Usually during school, I don’t have the time.”
He said this would be either before 10 a.m. or after 2 p.m., because the rays of the sun are more direct and thus more harmful between those two times.
"The time to go out," Bittenbender said, "is when the sun is not at its peak."
"By all means, do everything you want to do outside," he said.
Bittencenter said that people who choose to sunbath, should use protective sunscreen.
He said most of the sun tan products on the market today are coded with sun-protection factor numbers that indicate the amount of protection that product will give to an individual.
For example, he said that if a person using no protection burns in one minute, he could then put on a product with a sun-protection factor of 15 and out in the sun for 15 minutes before burning.
"Of course, no one burns in one minute," Bittensland said. "But you should use a product that is safe."
Those who sunburn easily need a stronger protection.
