Liquor purchases reflect life
By ANNE CALOVICH Staff Reporter

Regulates hurl in from the cold, ready to about KU's loss to K-Sate and the next day's Sava.
You can tell it's 'Super Bowl week' because they buy cases of beer. You can tell it's 'cold outside because they buy snappas. You can tell they're professors because they buy expensive wine.'
You can tell all sorts of things about people by looking at their attire, according to four local liner store employees.
Ric Devor, Mike Place, Daniel Uhikl and Keith Evans, all liquor store clerks, observed the relationship between human nature and liquor last Saturday night.
"It's a really funny thing," said Devore, a geneticist on a post-doctorate research fellowship at KU who works at Eagan-Barrand Llour Store. 2004 W. 23 St.
"Sometimes you can tell by what somebody buys whether they have a date that night or not. If you've got a guy who comes in, and you've seen him before that you know what he buys.
and all of a sudden he buys something totally different, 99 times out of 100 he's got a date that
"instead of coming in and buying a six-pack of beer, he'll come in and buy a bottle, a good of good."
DEVOR SAID he could tell what kind of events
Monday Morning
people were buying for by the volume they bought.
"On a football weekend, they'll get a couple of six-packs and a bottle," he said. "On special events like Super Bowl weekend, people are coming in buying cases of beer or several bottles of liqueur, so the volume per individual goes up. You can think of patterns when you stop to think about them."
Place, an Ablene graduate student who also works at Eagan-Barrand, said liquor sales manager.
"What happens in bad weather is sales of liquor go up or over beer," Place said. "Normally we sell more beer than anything else, but when the weather gets cold we sell a lot of liquor, and
lots of things like brandy, flavored brandy,
peppermint schnapps lots of peppermint
toppings.
"When I worked here this summer-I've worked here about a year now—and the tornado went through the west and south sections of town, when it was storming real hard, we had to wear rain gear than probably any other time. When people just go wild, they come to the linen stores."
Devar said, "You can figure that if it's snowing or raining on a week night, you're going to do at least $200 to $300 more business than if the weather was good."
THEY SAID they sold large amounts of beer this last weekend because of the Super Bowl on Sunday and the KU-K-State basketball game Saturday night.
"This is the best night we've had since Ive been here," said Keith Evans, Topeka sophomore, who has worked at Skillet's, 1906 Massachusetts, for two months.
When KU football games are played at home, they said, sales also rocket.
Legislative OK key to survey funding
"We have a lot more sales of small bottles—pints and halves," Place said. "Especially in the summer."

A resolution introduced in the Kansas Senate last week could spark $50,000 in funding needed for the continued operation of the Kansas Appalachian Regional Engineering program in Nichols Hall on West Carmsus.
State senators Jane Eldredge, R-Lawrence, and Fred Kerr, R-Pratt, proposed the resolution, which requests only that the Legislature pass a bill that would permit that has not met informally for more than a year.
But legislative approval of the council, or "task force," could be a crucial step toward approved state funding of the program, Eldredge said Friday.
"First we're trying to get the concept endorsed," she said, "then we'll go to the Ways and Means Committee and ask that a $50,000 amendment be tacked on to KU's budget."
The remote sensing program needs money from the state to maintain operations because the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is phasing out its $125,000 annual budget for its research and cutback this year, Ed Martino, associate director of the program, said Saturday.
NASA FOUNDED the program 10 years ago to
study the earth's surface through aerial and satellite photographs.
Eldridge said Gov. John Carlin designated $50,000 for the program this year out of the budget.
But the House and Senate Ways and Means committees are likely to shoot this down, she said, because Carlin's budget relies heavily upon her findings that won't be approved until early spring, at if all.
"This is the first time ever that a governor's budget has included revenue from a tax that does not involve income."
Eldredge said the resolution, assigned to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last Wednesday, was an attempt to sidestep Carlin's uncertain budget and gain a firm hold on state funding for the remote sensing program.
The "task force" described in the resolution probably will lobby for the program's continuation. Eldridge said. It consists largely of representatives from more than 40 state agencies that have gained assistance from the program since its founding in 1972.
THE RESOLUTION states that the program "can provide useful data and services (to state agencies) in areas such as reappraisal of land use, restoration of wetland areas, damage, hazardous waste, water quality,
wildlife management, noxious weed location and control, soil conservation, rangeland condition
Although the program has performed these services at no cost to state agencies, its contract with NASA, which will be canceled along with the launch of the program's (resolution to perform non-NASA projects)
*Understandably, NASA won't fund major projects for the state of Kansas.* Martino said.
Because of this restriction, the program in 1976 was able to study only three of 10 state areas being considered as possible antelope habitats. Using aerial and satellite photographs, the program determined which one of the three areas was most suitable for antelope.
The Kansas Fish and Game Commission, for which the study was conducted, released an imported herring of antelope in the area suggested that it was healthy. The reports that the herd is thriving, Martins said.
"We had the manpower and equipment to study all 10 areas. Martinko's ASA affiliated with other agencies."
When NASA pulls out, those restrictions are "open." But then we aren't here either without some kind of backup.
Martinko said the program would retain its equipment, including a satellite, when its connection was down.

Cross-country peace walk brings message to campus

Banging drums and chanting, a small group supporting world peace and nuclear disarmament.
The coalition coordinated the Lawrence stop, set up meetings for the community and staff.
The World Peace March is led by Buddhist monks from Japan, who have been walking from Los Angeles since Oct. 24, Anne Moore, former U.S. Marine Force Coalition for Peace and Justice, said.
The marchers will be on campus today talking to groups and classes about the peace march. They also will be at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center, 12th and Oread, throughout the day. Information about the marchers may be obtained through the center.
THERE WILL BE a public pollinator
and presentation by the marcheurs at 6 p.m.
Moore said this was one of four groups traveling different routes throughout the course.
They were met by 30 supporters at the Kanawa township Hall about eight miles west of Lawrence, and the group marched to St. John's Catholic Church in Lawrence.
The marchers included 11 Japanese, Buddhist mkms and nuns, two West Germans and nine Americans. One of the Americans led a group that marched the march when the group stopped in Newton.
The peace march was organized by a group of Nipponian Myohoji Japanese Buddhist monks as an act of repentance for the suspicion and fear involve in the nuclear and race war. Moore said it is also an act of prayer or a way of change to come about, she said.
Their destination is New York City where they will show support for the United Nations' Special Session on Disarmament II at the June UN opening session.
THE LEADER of the group, Rev. Gyoten Yoshida, said the Japanese people especially thought they had suffered from atomic bombs. He said they knew the tragedy and cruel killing that came with nuclear bombings.
"We cannot let it happen again," he said.

3rd district best for KU, solons say

The congressional redistricting plan approved last week by the Kansas House of Representatives is the best plan proposed so far for the state of Kansas, according to two local legislators.
The Republican-backed plan leaves Douglas County in the third U.S. congressional district, letting KU remain in the same district as the College of Health Sciences in Kansas City, Kan.
State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, the only Lawrence Democrat to support the plan, said the map was better than one sponsored by State Sen. Bill Reardon, D-Kansas City, that would place Douglas County in the 2nd district with Kansas State University in Manhattan. The county board would hold KU and Kansas State in competition for the 2nd district congressman's attention.
Branson was one of seven local legislators who spoke at the monthly "Eggs and Issues" breakfast sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Saturday.
State Rep. David Miller, R-Eudora, also supported the plan.
"It's wonderful--excellent for Douglas County," he said. "It gives KU its own edge."
Washington politically sensitive to KU's interests."
MANY DEMOCRATIC legislators oppose the plan because it splits largely Democratic Wyandotte County into two districts and Sedgwick County into three districts.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, repeated his objection that the plan deviated considerably from the equal population guidelines set up by the apportionment panel.
Redistricting is done every 10 years, after the census is taken, to adjust the U.S. congressional representation.
"Any deviation must be justified." Solbach said. "This plan deviates by about 5,000 people."
The Republican map creates a deviation of more than one percentage point, several times the deviation.
Solbach also spoke out against Carlin's budget recommendations for KU.
"In the past, the courts have moved the lines to move deviation to acceptable levels," he said. "They would probably leave Douglas County in the 3rd district."
The Senate is expected to approve the plan, but Gov. John Carlin may vie it because of the Democratic opposition, Solbach said. If the Legislature cannot agree on an acceptable map, the Kansas map may end up in the courts, he said.
"The governor probably didn't do KU any favors." he said.
CARLIN RECOMMENDED a 10 percent faculty pay increase instead of the 13 percent the Board of Regents had requested. He also agreed to have expenses requested for operating expenses to 6 percent.
The University asked for $621,145 and 30 new positions for enrollment increases dating from 1979. Carlin recommended an increase of $88 million for the creation of a decline in enrollment in the fall of 1981.
"The governor recommended that KU receive $1 or $2 million less than some of us think KU should receive," Solbach said. "Whether funds will be restored remains to be seen."
During the 1981 legislative session, Carlin cut the Regent's request of a 10 percent faculty salary increase to 8 percent, and the Senate approved a 7 percent increase in faculty salary, a cut of about $1.7 million. The committee also cut the governor's recommendation of $1.5 million for enrollment increases to $800,000, and cut $250,000 from his recommended salary. The Regent's had asked for a 9 percent increase. The Regents had asked for a 9 percent increase.
Other areas in financial difficulty this year include highway maintenance.
"There is no money in the highway fund to repair the roads." State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton,
