Excited volunteers open local Kennedy campaign
By TONI WOOD Staff Reporter
The same kind of excitement associated with politics in 1968 and 1972 was the reason he became a member of Kennedy organizational meeting, according to John Schieber, a lawrence student at Columbia.
About 85 people attended the meeting to initiate Sen. Edward Kennedy's local presidential campaign, and many congratulated and volunteered to work in the campaign.
Scheierm said he had expected about half as many people as he to the meeting. Kennedy's official announcement Wednesday generated some excitement, he said.
"The people feel that Senator Kennedy is the kind of dynamic leader who can inspire excitement," he said. "He has been in the midst of the progress causes of recent years."
After the meeting, about $80 had been collected and many people with past experience in political campaigns had volunteered to run. Mr. Kansas was president primary April 11.
JULIE CRAFT, a Lawrence law student who helped organize the event, said the
money contributed would be used to finance a mailing in the next two or three weeks.
Local Kennedy supporters will be hired as staff in the State District to help the state Kenedae organization raise $5,000 in contributions ($250 or less. That money will be matched by the local organization.
Later in the campaign, volunteers will be asked to help register voters, distribute literature and drum up support by telephone calls.
David Berkowitz, chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Central Committee, told the crowd that the committee remains neutral as an organization.
The meeting of Kennedy supporters was held on Thursday, July 3rd. Craft was named as contact person for the 3rd Congressional District at a meeting of Kennedy supporters several weeks later.
A more formal state organization will be set up when a national Kenny staff member visits the area, Schermad said, and tries to be in about three or four weeks.

Santa Fe seeks testimony
The Santa Fe Railway filed two petitions Wednesday in Douglas County District Court to have subpoenaes issued to three county residents in response to a damage claim filed against the employees who were injured in the Amtrak train derailment in Laverock Oct. 2.
The petition said that statements from the individuals would be used in the railroad's defense of the suit that seeks a total of $450,000.
NOW YOU CAN EARN OVER $6,500 WITH ARMY ROTC.
Here's how it works. If you qualify and a vacancy is available, you become a member of an Army Reserve or National Guard unit as an officer trainee and, at the same time, enroll in the Army ROTC advanced course at your college. Your Reserve or Guard membership will pay you at the minimum level of Sergeant E-5, and you'll receive $100 a month during the regular school year as an Army ROTC advanced course cadet.
Before you graduate from college! Because now, you can combine service in the Army Reserve or National Guard with Army ROTC. It's called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). And, depending on your academic year when you enter, SMP can help you earn over $6,500.
At the end of your second year of advanced ROTC, you'll be commissioned a second lieutenant and, assuming there's a vacancy, serve with a Guard or Reserve unit while you complete the requirements for your college degree. Upon graduation, you may continue service with a Guard or Reserve unit while pursuing your civilian career, or you can, if you prefer, compete for active duty as an Army officer.
So if you'd like to earn over $6,500 while you're still in college,
get into SMP. Because SMP can help you do it. You can bank on it!

The three individuals named in the petitions for subpoenas are Mark Praeger, 948 Kentucky St., a local surgeon; Elva Schopper, Lawrence Memorial Hospital director of medical records; and Rodney P. Maine, a St. Louis internal medicine specialist.
The suit was filed in Jackson County District Court by engineer Lawrence H. Graham, Shawnee, and fireman W.P. Hand, is asking for $300,000 and Hand,$100,000.
Two crew members were killed and 69 persons injured when the train derailed at about 8 a.m. near downtown Lawrence.
The three are expected to give testimony about the injuries the two men received in the derailment.
NCAA amendments focus of convention
Tow said that the overriding question dealt with at the convention would concern NCAA sponsorship of women's championships. A proposal had been made in August that women's championships in five sports for Division II and Division III schools.
Two amendments attempting to restrict the recruiting efforts of major colleges will be the most important in response to a change at this year's National Collegiate Athletic Association Convention, said executive commissioner, yesterday.
DIVISION II is made up of schools that give a maximum of 55 football scholarships and Division III constitutes only the financially needy athletes.
"The NCAA supplied the no-bump proposal because it felt many coaches were not meeting high school prospects under actual accidental circumstances." Tow said. "However, the major football league has made this exception exactly to this, but I think the NCAA no-bump proposal has a better chance of passing.
One amendment would disallow coaches to bump into a recruit and talk with him at his high school without permission. The three allowable recruiting visits. Tow said.
"SOME SCHOOLS want to put a limit on the number of football and basketball coaches because a lot of schools have a 20-year lease. They aren't paid by the athletic department,
Final proposal for amendments had to be submitted to the NCAA last week, Tewail, if they were to be brought before the convention in New Orleans Jan. 3-10.
The other amendment, which would limit colleges to a total of nine football teams, would eliminate the use of an unlimited number of part-time coaches who are not affiliated with the college.
which frees other coaches to go out and recruit most of the time."
"Everyone will be watching to see what happens in the women's championship proposal. The partnership mean there will be similar legislation for the major colleges in Division I next year. Then the NCAA's involvement would be full-scale in the event."
The total amount of legislation presented at this year's convention would be the lowest in eight years, he said only 103 amendments will be presented.
"I think that shows that our members are trying to make past legislation work and not just up and change it."

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
In recent articles in *This Column*, I told about some teenagers stepping me and asking that I help "light cancer". They stopped me by lying up across the road. I responded that they had no problem with it, but had not ofooted would have run over somebody. But the thought soon came that I should do better than the "two-bite" help, for Cancer day might "run over" some or many of these children, and especially if they took up cigarette smoking against "cancer" and that is the object of the following.
I have a very vivid picture in my mind of an experience I had when a teenager, it is of a visiting minister. In my home fitted with the young people to leave cigarettes alone. He was taken into his room and given the liquor habit, and the liquor habit to the dope habit, and the dope habit to the saints and corruptions delirium of delirium tremens. By a miracle of mercy and care of the congregation, I was taken to a close friend of the cigar; and this same honorable gentleman, so was the goad, has become greatly offended with me.
for describing a cigarette as "little stick like thing with fire on one end and a fool on the other"
(Once upon a time a very noted world traveler had come to me and asked, "Why do you open the opened the meeting for questions. A man told up and said: "Did you ever have delirium tremen't? No, indeed, and why do you ask such a question?" Then, mature, you ain't be in trouble.)
Some years ago there was a great and nationally or internationally known doctor of New Orleans — don't know if he is still living. He cried aloud, spared not, but lifted up his arm and held it as if to say, "The danger of inculpin in the human body. Especially the young to women and mothers, pointing out the poison in the blood." He then recalled that the body being formed, such as the eyelight. There were a number of young women or girls in the crowd that stopped me and asked that I help "light cancer." And that is what I am trying to do.
A Family Doctor Magazine said in an Article on lung smokes cigarette before his patients, or a teacher before his pupils, was regarded in the same light as a clergyman who keeps a minitaser. About a doctor teen-age-mapped and me with a minitaser, he said.
