In Barbara's 14-page decision, he said the franchise laws helped create a monopoly on the state's liquor business because it can buy only with certain liquor wholesalers.
IN THE PAST, liquor distributors were required to sell their products to every wholesaler in the state.
Barbara's ruling was based on a suit filed
by three Kansas liquor wholesalers; Colby Inc, Dodge City; Grant-Billingsli Lugar Co, Wiechta; and Kansas Distributors, Inc., Kapsan City, Kan.
The wholesaleers charged that the exclusive franchise law had allowed a monopoly to be formed and that they had obtained only a fraction of the state's liquor

The problems behind the threat of a graduate student students' accession from the Student Senate last year are being addressed by the College of graduate and undergraduate senators.
The Committee on the Student Senate Graduate Student Council Relations was formed this summer to alleviate the burden of graduate student students with the Senate.
executive director of the Graduate Student Council said Tuesday, "The problem started when they were told that in the present system, they could not accomplish the things they wanted to do."

The committee discussed several possilities, which included forming a separate graduate student senate; maining the faculty; and controlling control over the distribution of graduate
Hayden said he thought that if graduate students fee were given to the council, it might be able to get more money, depending on activities and community members decided to activities.
Colleges seek KANS-A-N lines
By HAROLD CAMPBELL

Some Kanas community colleges might pay too much for telephone service because they are statewide the KANS-A-N telephone system, Norman Myers, former of Pratt College.
Myers said he thought the law that says community colleges are not state agencies should be changed to allow them to join the system.
KANS-A-N, an acronym for Kansas offers substantial savings for state agencies for long-distance calls, according to Laurence Kunnel, director of state telecom.
However, according to Myers, state law does not consider Kansas community colleges state agencies even though the college are run by the State Department of Education.
Kunkel said the law was passed because the Legislature did not consider community colleges to be totally state-funded.
Kunkel said he would be glad to install KANS-A-N lines in community colleges as well by the Legislature changed the law.
"Something ought to be done about letting us join the system," Myers said.
THOUGH HE COULD give no definite figures, he said the savings community colleges could receive from joining the state legislature and for the state Legislature to change the law.
"Just calling Topeka costs a lot more for us than for colleges and agencies in northeast Kansas."
especially here in western Kansas, where the distances between cities are greater, the phone bills are going to be higher," Myers said.
Myers said he had mentioned the problem
at two previous Kansas community college president meetings, but not much interest was taken in the situation.
JOBN CLEEK, president of Johnson County Community College, said he was not concerned with a phone network because Johnson County would close to any place that the college would
"I'm sure there are good economic reasons for some community colleges wanting to join the system," he said. "But we just don't have a compelling reason to do that."
Craig Mecia, KU comproller, and the University's July phone bill of $3,807 have been doubled if KU had used commercial Southwestern Bell lines.
"Since we already have $250,000 worth of lines leased, if someone made a $1 call on long-distance lines, the actual cost to the state would be $250,000," he said.
KRUNKEL SAID the system based its bulb
power on the number of calls divided by the
number of calls. He said the system saved 50 percent for intrastate long-distance calls and 30 percent for interstate calls.
used regular long-distance lines instead of the KANS-A-N lines, the costs would rise.
For instance, Burton Buser, account executive of the state market department, said a call to Des Moines, Iowa, during weekday hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. could cost $17.8 using the KANS-N-KN costing system at $2.90 by Southwestern Bell.
Kunkel said the system, which leases lines from Southern Bell, was able to give much-reduced long-distance prices because of the three number of lines the state leased.
Other state employees also praised the system.
THIS FIXED PRICE, he said, allowed low long-distance costs.
He encouraged employees of state agencies to use the KANS-A-N lines exclusively "because the more you use the system, the less it costs."
Kunkel said the state used 107,000 miles of telephone lines at a cost of $250,000 a year.
HE SAID EMPORIA'S average monthly phone bill of $40,000 would probably be doubled if the university used commercial lines.
Walter Clark, Emporia State University business manager, said, "From what I know, the KANS-A-N system is very helpful and useful."
senator, said that at the first meetings after Senate elections last spring, it seemed as if the graduate student senators were pitted against the undergraduates.
For instance,he said,if only one person
Ralph Perry, Kansas State University comproller, said he was pleased with the system, though sometimes lines would be busy for extended times.

Discount end at the graduate student senators was greatest in late April when the Graduate Student Council's budget request increased by $24,000 to an Academic Affairs Committee meeting.
He also said K-State's average monthly phone bill of $35,000 to $30,000 would be doubled if the university used commercial lines.
Kunkei was the KANE-A-N system was proposed in the Kansas Legislature in 1974 and created in 1976 to make a cost-efficient state communications system.
He said starting Sep 15, Kansas state employees in other states would have a WATTS number to call to connect them to the KANS-A-N system.
Berlin said the survey, which the office of institutional planning and research would formulate, would cost about $500.
Similar systems exist in Texas, Washington, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania and California, he said.
Prentice said the four graduate student members on the committee were told about the meeting until after the decision had been made.

Hayden said the survey could give graduate students more control over their money by demonstrating that graduate students' interests are different.

From the student activity fee, the graduate students could get back a portion of the $1.35 given to student organizations given to them by the Graduate Student Council.
"We don't want to tell the undergraduates how to spend their fees," he said, "and we don't want them to tell us how to spend our money."

Hayden said he thought it was understandable that other senators could not understand graduate students' needs.

One discovery the committee made this summer, Berlin said, was that if all activity fees, except those from the Senate Revenue Code, were given back to the graduate students, the council would receive about $890,000, the council received a $15.00 allocation.
Berlin said if the Graduate Student Council seceded from the Senate, the Senate would have no control over graduate student funds.
Bernil said the graduate students' voice in the Senate was an important one, but to be represented, they needed to take part in the Senate.
