Maher
continued from p. 1
MAHER, WHO IS SPENDING far less on his campaign than his opponent, said he stands on issues such as abortion and the right to bear backpacking from the national Democracy Party.
As of Sept. 30, Maher had received no money from the national party for his campaign and had spent almost $16,000 from Jan. 1 to Sep. 30. Kassebaum spent about $143,000 during the same period.
The party also told us they were spending money on races they had
construed to be much closer than ours," he said.
Besides disagreeing with the party platform on abortion and deficits, Maher said he also opposed Wonder Mondale's plan for an $85 billion tax increase.
MAHER SAID HIE FAVOREd an increase
corporate taxes and a closing of
liquidation costs.
Maher joked with the small crowd, telling them he wasn't discouraged by his uphill battle or the low turnout at his speech.
"We do not need a large crowd as long as we have bright, brilliant minds," he said.
mother repeated a protest the first issued last Friday over the planned appearance
of Jose Napoleon Duere, president of El Salvador, as the guest speaker at the Aif Laadon Memorial Lecture at Kansas State University on Friday.
Maher, who sent a telegram to the Salvadoran leader Friday asking him to postpone his visit until after the election, said Duarte's appearance constituted an implicit endorsement of Kassebaum in her senatorial race.
K-State officials said the selection of Duarte, who is of particular renown since his meeting with Salvadoran rebel leaders has last week coincided with Kasebeum. Officials said Kasbebum had had no part in the selection of the lecture series' guests.
Mall
continued from p. 1
Mayor Ernest Angino and Commissioner Howard Hill were not available for comment yesterday. Commissioner Mike Amyx declined to comment until he had studied the matter further.
Barbara Waggoner, member of the Downtown Improvement Committee, said the withdrawal was "good news." The DIC noted that there were no reports of opposed any suburban mall development.
"WE ARE VERY FIRMLY committed to expanding and consolidating retailing in downtown," she said. "We've never wavered."
Adams said yesterday that the proposal would be submitted next year in a different form when Delta thought it could get an unbiased hearing.
He said he had concluded that Delta would not be given fair consideration through discussions with commission members and reading of newspaper articles.
Delta possibly will try to solicit support
from Lawrence citizens before resubmitting the pro-
gram.
"I've talked to a number of people who seemed to be very encouraging about our project," he said. "The problem is getting
these people out. You hear a lot more from cons than you do pros.
"WE WANT TO FIND people who will stand up and say, 'We need this.' "
One possible change in the proposal would be making the project a joint venture between Delta and another company, he said.
"We may present to the city someone else that they are familiar with and who may need us."
Delta's proposal was one of three before
the company calling for significant retail
development.
Branson is the only state representative in Lawrence who is officially unopposed in his bid for governor.
IN 1980, BRANSON defeated Wint Winter Jr., now a Republican state senator from Lawrence, to win her seat in the Kansas House. In 1982, she ran against Republican Bob Schultz and won almost twice as many votes as her challenger.
Andy Galyard, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party, said he had been unable to find any Republican candidates to advance an enron before the June 11 filing deadline.
election as to let voters know I'm here."
"When a person decides to run, they're making a huge commitment in terms of time and money." he said. "When the filing deadline came near, it just came down to no one who was able to make that commitment."
Branson said that her campaign cost $5,000 to $7,000 less than her two previous campaigns against Republican opponents. Some of the savings come from fewer newspaper advertisements and fewer yard signs this year, she said.
Kansas House Minority Leader Marvin Barkis, D-Louisburg, said Branson was adept at representing the variety of people, who were UF faculty members, who lived in her district.
BRANSON SAID HER BIGGEST savings, however, came from a cutback in direct mailings to constituents. Although she still mails to voters, Branson said, this year she could avoid the blitz of letters shemailed in 1980 and 1982 near election day.
"She has a different constituency from a lot of representatives," he said. "They seem
to be more educated and intellectual. There's a wide range of people, and it's more work to keep up with their concerns."

Branson graduated from the School of Nursing at the University of Kansas in 1942. She is a member of the board of Kansans for the improvement of Nursing Homes and a past president of the local and state chapters of the Associations for Retarded Citizens.
ONE OF BRANSON'S four grown children is mentally handicapped. Branson was one of many parents of mentally handicapped boys, who found the Douglas County ARC in the 1950s.
In the last legislative session, Branson worked on legislation to require mandatory testing of infants for the presence of disease leading to brain damage in children.
In the next legislative session, which begins in January, Branson said that if she were re-elected, financing for universities and public schools would be one of her priorities.
"This is a community very strongly based on and oriented to education," she said.
ONE CHANGE SIE said she would work for would be an increase in fee waivers for graduate teaching assistants at Board of Regents schools. Teaching assistants and research assistants now receive a 60 percent reduction in tuition fees.
Ethics
"I'd like to see it go to 100 percent," she said. "It's a proposal that better for the quality of higher education than any other institution, and pass in the Legislature for the moneys spent."
Branson said she also would continue to work for pay equity legislation for women in the state and for nursing home reforms.

Dr. Leonard Bailey, who performed the transplant, refused to estimate the baby's chance of survival, saying only he is "hoping for the best."
Francisco, said, even if the child survives, she may suffer side-effects from current manipulations of her immune system to prevent it from rejecting the new heart.
"In this kind of operation, we generally start on consenting adults. We don't start using research on infants," Glantz said. "A
THE CASE "RAISES" very profound ethical questions," said Leonard Glanz, a lawyer and associate professor of health law at the University Schools of Medicine and Public Health.
short life at any cost is not necessarily the best trade-off for that individual."
Bailey said he spent several hours discussing the risks and potential benefits of the surgery with the parents before they signed the consent forms.
Arthur Caplan, an associate for the humanities at the Hastings Center in New York, an institute on ethics and life sciences, voiced concern about whether the parents were fully informed about the risks before giving consent.
CAPLAN AND OTHERS also raised the issue that some people may object to transplanting animal organs into humans.
Although animal parts have been used in
human transplants for years. Caplan said, "there may be some kind of psychological discomfort over the procedure because of the current significance in this country of the benefit."
Dr. Randy Morris, a transplant immunologist at Stanford University Medical Center, said the procedure exemplified how "technology is proceeding so quickly and in such dramatic fashion that our consideration of moral and implications gets left far behind."
Dr. Donald Hill, chairman of the cardiovascular surgery at Pacific Presbyterian Medical Center in San Francisco, said the "excitating advance" had social implications.
