Uncle Milty's Cafe awaits judge's decision on license

Milton Collins' appeal of the city's revocation of its milk bait license award allows the decision to be taken.
After hearing 11 witnesses yesterday, the judge took the case under adjudication. He must first prove that the defendant was present.
Judge Ralph King Jr. must decide whether the city commission proposed properly in revoking the city ordinance.
Collins license for 3.2 beer at Uncle Mity's Cafe,
2246 Barker Ave., was revoked Jan. 23 by
the commission on the grounds that the tavern was a nuisance.
"THEIR SOLE reason was to make Haskell happy," he said.
The license was revoked after officials from Haskell Indian Junior College complained that the tavern was the origin of fights that moved to a Haskell residence hall.
Ck Colt Knutson, city attorney, said the city was exercising the police power granted a legislative
"The question is whether the court will substitute an opinion for that of the five commissioners," he wrote.
Norwood said Collins had been denied due process of law because the commission did not notify him.
Everything showed that his license would be under discussion, but nothing indicated that he had ever been legally authorized to drive.
Also, he said, "Nowhere does the city code say you can take a business away because it is a public place."
In trying to establish just cause for revoking the license, Knutson introduced six witnesses, including Marrie Argersinger, city commissioner, and two Haskell officials.
ANOTHER WITNESS for the city was granted immunity from prosecution by the district attorney's office during a break in the hearing. King had refused to allow her to testify until she had been advised that self-incriminating evidence could result in charges being brought against her.
Cary Chase, a 17-year-old Haskell student,
testified that she had bought and drunk beer at
Uncle Milly's, which she said she had patronized
about 40 times.
Chase said she had been intoxicated and involved in fights near the tavern.
Testimony by the manager of Uncle Milty's conflicted with what Chase said.
THE MANAGER, Faith Standsblack, and his sister Antonia, the only other employee of Uncle Milty's, denied that they ever sold beer to Chase or saw her drink beer in the tavern.
They said Chase had been in the tavern, "but not 40 times." Both women said Chase had bought only one of their meals.

Coalition's role sparks debate

By CAROL BEIER
The existence of the Apathy Coalition indicates a "crisis in Student Senate," according to statements made by Bob Tomlinson, La Plume Coalition presidential candidate, at last night's candidate debate.
Tomlinson made his comments at a debate sponsored by the Student Senate elections committee. The debate was between Tomlinson and the candidate.
Tomlinson's comments were greeted with the raised fists of Apathy Coition presidential and vice presidential candidates, Mark Hazelgriff, Emporia junior, and Chris Fleischer, Lawersee junior.
"The crisis is exemplified by the Apathy Coalition's ability to draw laughs from the audience tonight."
Haze rigg and Fleisher got not only their share of laughs, but also the only cheers from the audience.
The audience also expressed enthusiasm for Fleister's suggestions for escalator installation up the hill to campus and his support of pre-enrollment to, "save a lot of hassle and leave more time for the pursuit of happiness."
The candidates were questioned by a three-member panel comprising Mike (Harper, student body president); Caryl Smith, dean of the department of student life; and Mark Mikkelsen, Lawrence graduate student.
The Porch Steep Coalition's candidates, Margaret Berlin, Bonner Springs junior, and George Gomez, Topeka junior, said the Senate had neglected the needs of both off-campus and international students.
Berlin said she favored the organization of a student board to deal with off-campus housing. The board would
Chair Clairer, Imagination presidential candidate, said he was an off-campus student and disagreed with the Porch Committee.
Keiter also said he thought the Senate should be content to operate the legal services program for a year under new laws.
Ron Allen, Rapport presidential candidate, said Keizer was wrong in his willingness to wait for Phase II provisions,
"To get the best service possible, we have to press for Phase II as soon as possible." Allen, Saben bader junior, said.
Prof witness to Iranian turmoil

Norman Forer is no stranger to the strife in Iran.
Forer, associate professor of social welfare at KU, visited Iran two years ago as part of a human rights committee intending to prevent prisons and meet political prisoners.
Although he was not allowed to see the prisoners, he did meet clandestinely with several groups of dissidents. One of these groups included Mehi Bazarzan, the man that Ayatulullah Khomini has named to head his provincial government.
"I was picked up from the lobby of a hotel that I had walked to and then driven through alleys and back streets on a long, tortuous route. We were so tired we said, 'We finally arrived at a very wealthy hotel.'"

"I first met with a woman who gave me pictures of her children who had been arrested. An older man who spoke French, English and Persian, translated. She told of her fears that they had been tortured or killed and asked our group to help.
"THEN I MET A man who wife and six children had been arrested and subsequently executed for distributing anti-communist material making anti-government statements in class.
"An older man walked into the room then and everyone stood, in deference to him. This was Bazargan. We spoke for awhile down and talked during a lengthier dinner."
"They said they wanted a society modeled on the United States with free speech and free elections." Powerless the United States then to support the shah, the people would become anti-American. They also wanted to know how demonstrations in the United States would work.
Forer said they discussed Jimmy Carter and his human rights policy. They wanted to understand how the government worked.
about the alleged arrests and torture by SAVAK, the shah's secret police, and whether people in the United States knew what was happening in Iran.
During the meeting with Bazargan and the others, Forer said, he was given a list of mosques and theology schools that had been built. Forer said they had died under torture or had been exiled.

Forer said he thought the current government run by Shaplour Bakhilt would not last long because his power came from the government, and because the hauls had given him his power.
House supports spending lid bill
By GENE LINN Staff Reporter
TOPEKA-The Kansas House recommended passage of a spending bill yesterday that may cut the amount of money available for the Kansas Board of Regents schools, including the University of Kansas.
The bill, which is a modified version of legislation passed earlier by the Kansas Senate, would limit increases in ex-termination fees to 0.7 percent. The legislation passed, 91-31.
The House is scheduled to take final action on the bill today. If it passes, the bill will go to a House-Senate conference committee today.
State Rep. John Michael Hayden, Atkwood, said enough cuts could be made in budget proposals to allow for both the House spending lid and the elimination of the sales tax.
Hayden is the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
The House recently passed legislation that would eliminate the sales tax on food and energy.
The Regents budget is one of the areas that could be cut, Hayden said.
THE REGENTS had requested $425 million for the six schools they oversee, an increase of 12 percent from last year's budget.
Some Democrats argued that the state would not have enough money even if the House spending lid bill were passed if the sales tax were cut.
They said the spending lid bill should include a tax relief fund to channel excess income.
The Senate's version of the spending limit legislation includes a tax relief fund.
"The spending lid and elimination of sales tax on food and utilities will significantly affect the state budget in future years," State Rep. Loren Hohman, D-Dopea, said.
"We should reinstate the tax relief fund to provide that if there isn't enough money for the budget, we can transfer money from the relief fund."
Hohman said there would be a "general understanding" that the fund would be used
to help pay local government and school expenses.
HOWEVER, HAYDEN said the tax relief fund was an "escape hatch" for more government spending. He said state support increased when the budget had more than doubled in recent years.
"That has been called tax relief, but actually every dime of it is increased state tax."
Hayden said in his opinion, the budget for local school districts could be cut to help make up for the decrease in state aid.
Democratic minority leader Fred Weaver, Baxter Springs, said that if this happened, the state's school system may start soiné "backward."
Hayden said there were two ways to provide direct tax relief to Kansas.
"We could just not collect excess taxes or, if we collect more than we need, we could"
*"not do it."*
After debating for nearly an hour, the House defeated Holman's motion to add the tax relief fund to the bill by a 67-49 vote that followed party lines.
At one point, Speaker of the House Wendell Lady, R-Overland Park, and Weaver accused each other of playing games.
For the budgets of Regents schools, E. Asher Franklin, a Regent, and he hoped Bishop Dudley to support him.
"PEOPLE TEND TO think that higher ect…can be cut because there's so much money involved," he said. "But once they hear the reasons for our spending, they
Regent Gee Smith said, "We have already cut all but the most essential parts."
However, Hayden said congressman would have to be prepared to receive some heat from constituents because the spending lid would cause some services to be curbed.
"Each representative will be influenced because some services will be cut in his district," he said. "We will just have to have them to take a stand and limit spending."

High grant demand depletes funds

An unexpectedly high demand for the Kansas Medical Scholarship Program caused a need for more state funding for the program.
The official, Richard Von Ende, University executive secretary,
said the 1978 Kansas Legislature had not known how many medical students would sign up for the scholarship when it passed the original bill.
The Kansas Senate voted Wednesday on an emergency supplement bill that would add $1.125 million to the program.
"The legislators put up $1.5 million to fund the program for fiscal 1979." Von Ende said, "Then, in November, we asked the Kansas Board of Regents for $125 million, because at that time 403 students were enrolled, and it was much more than the original number that had been expected."
Type I scholarships cover all tuition fees and provide a monthly stipend of $500 during the academic year. For each year of support, the students must agree to practice one year in a designated underserved area of Kansas.
He said that since then 23 more students had enrolled in the program and that KU would have to ask the Regents on Feb. 16 for permission to take them.
THE SCHOLARSHIP program allows medical students to wave a year's worth of cards and they agree to practice in Kansas. There are three types of cards:
Type II scholarships cover all tuition fees, but do not provide a stipend. In return, the students practice in any area of Kansas they
Rosetta Robins, director of student financial aid at the Med Center, said the number of students enrolled in the program was understaffed. She said a recent survey found that
Walter Gohlbach, director of admissions and records at the Med Center, said about 80 percent of the first year class and 66 percent of the total student body signed up for the program. He said 20 percent of the students had been expected to sign up.
THERE IS A bill in the Kansas Senate that would end the scholarship program. However, the sponsor of that bill, State Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Parsons, said he supported the emergency supplement bill.
"The money in the supplement bill will go for the 1979 budget," he said. "We just funded the difference between the money now in the program and the money needed by the extra students. The Senate must sunset the students."
He said the need for additional money, 'added some credence to his reasoning for the bill ending the scholarship. He has said the program would cost the state almost $3 million while causing an overpopulation of physicians in Kansas.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee heard discussion on Johnston's bill Wednesday, but took no action.
The scholarship also is the base of a suit by 234 medical students against the Regents, whom the students claim raised tuition
The Regents vote in April to raise the tuition from $1,900 to $3,000 for residents and from $2,580 to $6,000 for non-residents.
According to Gerald Jeserich, the attorney for the medical students, no immediate action is planned on the suit.
