Research, case work included in internship
By PAM ALLOWAY Staff Reporter

Most people don't think of a basketball game when the subject of the Kansas Legislature comes up, but that's something Matt Keenan, a law student, remembers about his internship with the Legislature.
"The legislators won rather decisively."
"We had an intern-legislator basketball game later on that spring," Keenan said yesterday.
Keenan, who worked for House Minority Leader Fred Weaver, D-Baster Springs, participated in the University of Kansas' Legislative Internship Program in the spring of 1980.
"I did a lot of research and constituent case work," Keenan said. "But my main project was some fish and game legislation. I put together the bill and presented it to the council亲着 a bill that was presented to the Fish and Game Commission."
THIS SEMESTER, Clifford I. Ketzel, professor of political science and supervisor for the program, said he hoped to have 20 to 25 students intern for the 18th legislative session, which starts in January.
In the spring 1981 session, 17 students interned.
The deadline for next semester's applications is Nov. 20. Ketzel and Earl Nehring, professor of political science, more information on the internships.
Interns earn 12 hours of credit in
the program. The program consists of the internship itself, a seminar where interns meet weekly and the internships along with directed readings.
Interns are also required to write a paper at the end of their internship, summarizing their semester's work.
Ketzel said interns were not restricted to senators and representatives. Internships are also available with special interest groups such as the AFL-CIO, political parties and the governor's
Carol L. Hedges, a first-year KU law student, worked as an intern in Gov. John Carlin's office under the supervision of Steve Holsteen, the governor's special assistant on local and local governmental matters.
"I had a particular interest in the executive branch of the government, and the governor was as close as I could get," she said.
HEDGES IS an Emory State University graduate and participated in the program through Emporia's political science department. She was supervised, KU's political science department.
"That's one of the things that makes this program so neat," Ketzel said.
"Students from Emporia State and Kansas State University, as well as KU, participate in the program."
"I would recommend the program for anybody," Hedges said.
Evacuation plans ready for nuclear attack
By STEVE ROBRAHN Staff Reporter
Everyone would be going south.

Cars would jam onto Iowa and 23rd streets as officials went into local grocery stores to confiscate food and medical items.
The Emergency Broadcast System frequency would interrupt regular broadcasts on KLZR and KLWN radio stations to tell citizens that they must leave Douglas County and go to Franklin, Anderson and Allen counties.
The country might be locked into a dispute, which has boiled over to threats of nuclear attack, Phil Leonard, president of the prepared-director, said yesterday.
Postal vehicles, school buses and church buses would be pressed into service to transport people who don't have cars.
PERHAPS THE LAST edition of the local newspaper would hit the streets in the form of a pre-written evacuation issue. That issue already has been set into type and has maps of roads people should use if an evacuation began.
The crisis evacuation plans have been devised as an alternative to fallout shelters, because the shelters cost too much to maintain, he said.
The evacuation would take about 72 hours to complete, Leonard said, but the nation might not have that much warning.
"Of course we realize that Russia isn't going to send us a telegram that says 'In three weeks from today at 11 am, I will be here' to face the face of the earth,' Le Souid said.
So there are plans for a surprise attack.
If a surprise nuclear attack was
launched against the United States, Leonard would get his orders directly from the North Atlantic Air Defense Center in a Colorado mountain, he said.
The defense command would tell emergency preparedness directors how many missiles had been launched and where they were going to hit.
Leonard would sound nuclear attack warning sirens, the same ones that sound when a tornado warming has been released. And you can blast give out a wavering tone or short blasts.
wasn't ground zero for a nuclear explosion.
"If you're at ground zero, no one would really care whether they were in the middle."
NEXT, AN OFFICIAL would address the public through rarely-noticed loudspeakers which are set up in most public buildings.
BUT AFTER ALL the planning, he said, the situation would be unpredictable.
"You have to think of what probably would happen and work on it from that
“It’s hard to say what actually would happen,” Leonard said. “You’ve got to wipe today’s values completely out of your lives and you’re planning for nuclear warfare.”
Leaders have been trained to operate Douglas County's 56 fall shelter, shelters.
'It's hard to say what actually would happen. You've got to wipe today's values completely out of your mind when you're planning for nuclear warfare.'
-Phil Leonard
Citizens would be instructed to go to fallout shelters and await further instructions.
Shelter leaders would register citizens who came to the failout shelters and when the capacity had been reached, the leaders would be expected to use whatever force necessary to keep additional people out.
The Emergency Broadcast System would be activated from the emergency preparedness headquarters in the Douglas County Judicial Building.
The system would allow Leonard to address the public and give Lawrence citizens instructions as to what to do.
After establishing the shelter, the leaders are supposed to radio the emergency preparedness headquarters, where the Lawrence City Commission, police and fire officials will have been assembled, he said.
which are located mostly in public buildings throughout the county, he said. The shelter leaders currently are wearing radiation monitors with them at all times.
However, except for going to the fallout shelters, Leonard said, nothing else could be done but hope Lawrence
THE HEADQUARTERS has its own supply of air, food and water, as well as emergency communications systems.
Most shelters wouldn't be nearly so well equipped, however.
None of the shelters in Douglas County has food, water or medical supplies, Leonard said, because a catheter will help the supplies would cost too much.
Depending on the circumstances, he said, a person from each shelter would be sent out to get food and supplies.
If the area was experiencing radioactive fallout, deadly dust which settles over a large area after a nuclear explosion, it might be two weeks before it is safe to leave the shelters, Leonard said.
"You can't count on anything," he said. "Some of the shelters might not be there anymore. You just don't know where the bombs are going to go."
Several shelters are unusual, Leenard added, and others are unmarked, especially on the KU campus, often frequently take the signs for decorations.
Most shelterers are portions of buildings that have been determined as able to withstand severe blasts, and are equipped with special facilities, he said.
A survey of four fallout shelters at KU showed that some were poorly marked, with unknown capacities.
Shelters on the third and first floors of the Kansas Union have capacities of 930 and 530 people, respectively.
A shelter in the basement of Fraser Hall was unmarked and a shelter on the second floor of Strong Hall had no capacity estimate on the sign.
Signs at Joseph R. Pearson residence hall were bent and directional arrows had been defaced.
Plans for 'SUA Day' finalized; program includes chess exhibit
Student Union Activities will promote its activities Thursday during an informal "SUA Day," Blair Tinkle, SUA chairwoman, committee chairman, said yesterday.
"We want to let students know we provide a lot for them to do," he said.
From 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., SUA will advertise its special programs and
trips with displays set up outside Wescoe Hall and the Kansas Union.
The SUA's rental camping equipment also will be displayed, Tinkle said.
Other activities are to in-volve a dice game with a chess master playing 10 opponents at once in Front or Flut Hall to make up the Bank from Union 11 a.m. to p.m.
"Anything but stripeases are OK at the mike." Tinkle said.
