Sandinistas to win Nov. 4, Stansifer says
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
Nicaragua's presidential election Nov. 4 is not as important to Nicaraguans and their future as the U.S. public generally thinks, the views of Latin American Studies said yesterday.
Nicaragua has a high level of political participation in its mass organizations, said Charles Stansifer, the director. But a presidential vote, though patriotic, is not as important a symbol of participation as it is in the United States.
"I see the holding of a presidential election at the end of sop to U.S. public opinion, to get it off my chest," he said.
TANSIFER WILL LEAVE Sunday to visit Nicaragua as an observer of the final days of the campaign and the election for the Latin American Studies Association. He will return Nov. 7.
He is a member of the association's Nicaragua Task Force, which is charged with maintaining academic contacts despite political tensions.
Stansifer said that he expected the Sandinistas, who have ruled Nicaragua for five years, to win the election.
The two strongest opposition parties have said they had insufficient guarantees of fair campaigning and voting practices and will have no candidates. Sandista leaders have said the opposition buckled under to pressure agents who want to discredit the election.
The U.S. perception of the Sandhistas as a security threat is being used to justify hostile actions against them.
"THE REAL PURPOSE of the Reagan administration is to overthrow the government," he said. "Not since 1981 has there any evidence that any flow of arms exists.
The Reagan administration's placement of land and sea military power, radar devices and training sites shows the administration's intent in Nicaragua, he said.
The placements are in areas that do not relate geographically to their ostensible purpose of stopping arms shipments to rebels in El Salvador, he said.
But Reagan is unlikely to take over and direct U.S. military action in Nicaragua even if he wins re-election by a wide margin, but the president may him whatever congressional support he has.
THE CARTER AND Reagan administrations provides the clearest distinction between府院与政府。
"The Carter approach was to defend human rights first and foremost," he said. The Reagan approach is to use military force as a first resort and not as a last resort.
Nicaragua deliberately set its election two days before the U.S. election, Stanssier said, to draw attention to it. The failure of the ruling Sandinistas to hold elections in five years of power has contributed to congressional efforts to guerrilla opposition, known as the contres.
The Sandistas overwreth the 46-year rule of Anastasia Somoza in 1979. Some contrasts support a return to the right-wing military style of Somoza, but many want leaders more politically moderate than Somoza or the left-wing Sandistas.

City approves KPS franchise sale
By CHRIS BARBER
Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night unanimously approved the sale of the city's natural gas franchise with Kansas Public Service Co. to the Missouri Public Service Co.
MopPub, a Raytown, Mo., company, will purchase $4.7 million in outstanding stock and assume control of the franchise owned by KPS.
The transfer had been referred earlier this month to City Attorney Jerry Cooley at commissioners' requests. The commissioners wanted assurance that Lawrence's utility would be independent of MoPub's other ties to systems in Lawrence and Kansas.
Commissioners said they wanted to make sure that any losses or rate changes in
MoPub's other divisions would not be reflected in Lawrence customers' bills.
Cooley presented an agreement, worked out with representatives from MoPub, that assured this independence.
"The document says that MoPub will operate the Lawrence, Kansas, gas utility entirely separate from its other business ventures, where that concerns rate adjustments for Lawrence customers." Cooley said.
Richard Green, executive vice president of MoPub, said the company was satisfied with the agreement.
"We are in full support of the agreement. Green said." We're happy to be working with them.
In other action, the Commission voted 3-2 to provide a letter of support for a proposal for a halfway home for women who abuse alcohol and drugs.
Substance Abuse Center, is an application for a $87,500 federal grant to provide a home in Lawrence for women recovering from substance abuse and Lou Ann Cardinal, the project's director.
Commissioners' David Longhurst and Howard Hill voted against the letter, which federal regulations require with the application.
The proposal, from the Kansas Women's
Longhurst said he was concerned that the group might be providing services, such as counseling, that other Lawrence agencies offer and would be wasting federal money.
But Mayor Ernest Angino reminded commissioners that the issue before them was whether to sign a letter of support and recommend the project's finances would be directed.
"I have no doubt the SRS (the state department of Social and Rehabilitation Services) will put conditions on it," Angino said.
Natural history artifacts inspire poet
Staff Reporter
By MICHAEL D. TOTTY
"All my life I had wanted to find an arrowhead," Low, a lecturer in English, said recently. "They showed us what to look for, the flakes and the discards. I found this one made from pink flint, which the instructor told us came from Iowa.
When Denise Low found her first arrowhead on a Museum of Natural History field trip, she left the pink, heart-shaped flint where she had found it but came away with a poem. "How to Look for Arrowheads."
Indian artifacts. And she continued to write poetry about her natural history experiences.
"We had to put them all back, so it was lost except for that poem."
Low will read her poetry at 8 p.m. today at the museum's panorama
Low began to collect these poems for her master of fine arts thesis and, eventually, for a book.
WHEN SHE PARTICIPATED in other museum classes with her two sons, David, 12, and Daniel, 10, she brought home a growing collection of mineral samples, fossils and
Although the museum never had published poetry, it agreed to publish the collection, called "Spring Geese and Other Poems," as part of the special publications series. Copes from these works are included in the next week to ten days, said Philip S Humphrey, director of the museum.
The book represents a departure from the museum's usual natural history publications, he said.
"All of the poetry concerns either some of our exhibits, or some of our programs or natural history in general." Humphrey said, "the poems are very good."
besides, the poems are very good.
LOW SAID CONTEMPORARY poetry had moved the poles of art and science much closer together.
nature poetry because nature is all-pervasive here," she said. "I had been a passive observer of nature, but suddenly, I became interested in knowing about it. I became a more intelligent observer of nature.
"P poetry has such a non-repetition right now. People think you're terribly romantic and gushy or a Bohemian and drunk. It's really satisfying to have this published in my community, and people I know are going to read it and share these experiences."
"In Kansas, we are guilty of writing a lot of
Besides providing the inspiration for many of the poems, the structure of the museum influenced the structure of the book. The book is divided into four sections — Animal Kingdom, Field Trips, Histories and Flora — which represent the exhibits in a museum.
SOME OF THE poems, such as "Panorama Waltrus" and "Snakes," refer to exhibits in the museum. Others, such as the title poem, "Spring Geese," are about Low's experiences with nature.
