'Smokeout' burns out as KU beats K-State
By LINDA ROSEWICZ Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas burned Kansas State University last night when KU representatives stomped three times more butts than K-State.
To prepare for the fourth annual Great American Smokeout today, cigarette-smoking students at the universities and citizens of Douglas counties competed by publicly pledging to give up smoking for a day.
Don Fambrough, KU's head football coach, and Jack Hartman, K-State's head basketball coach, were in charge of their counties' bids to get the most pledges. Fambrough and Hartman are honorary chairmen of the Eastern Kansas Smokeout effort this year.
THE HORDEES of fans that usually appear to cheer for the university sports squads were not as enthusiastic about giving up smoking. A total of 16 pledges were collected by Fambrough and Hartman.
The final score of the defensive battle was 12 to 4, with KU claiming the victory.
When only a dozen residents of Douglas County gathered in the 40-degree-weather at the Memorial Stadium parking lot to make their pledges at 7:30 last night, Fam. members unexpectedly conceded the kick to K-State.
Fambrough said Hartman had played a dirty trick on KU by driving his team through Auguilleville. Hartman said earlier that he would rather his smokers in
the parking lot at Ahearn Field House in Manhattan.
"I figure he'll probably get a lot more people in a warm beer hall than we can in this cold parking lot," Fambrough said. "But he's just going to make those K-Sterators stop and turn them all into alcoholics."
However, Hartman's bar strategy did not work. Only four K-State smokers showed up to make their pledges. Hartman attributed his low turnover to the house meetings that scrutinize sorcities at K-State had last night.
"I know there are a lot of residents here who won't smoke tomorrow even though they didn't come out to let everyone else know it." she said.
THE GOAL OF THE 1980 Smokeout, nationally sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is to get at least one of every five smokers to give up cigarettes from midnight to midnight today. Those who got a late start can extend the 24-hour period as long as necessary past the midnight deadline to participate.
According to the Gallup organization, in 1979 almost 15 million Americans attempted to give cigarettes on Smokeout day. Five million succeeded for the full 24 hours. One to three days later, 2.3 million people still were off cigarettes, while 7.8 million more said they had cut down considerably.

The Equal Rights Amendment, still stalled three votes short of ratification by the states, has become a victim of the irrational arguments used by its opponents, members of a panel discussion said last night.

"Contrary to popular belief, the ERA doesn't touch things that are social custom," she said. "It only applies to legal matters."
Because opponents of the ERA often do not have concrete legal reasons for their arguments, they simply repeat unfounded fears commonly associated with the amendment, said Linda Woody Kandan, an attorney for the National Organization for Women.
MARILYN AINSWORTH, associate professor of law and another panel member, said most people had serious concerns about the power of the proposed amendment.
"The tactic has been to use emotional things that people can't deal with and to apply them to the ERA," Woody told a group of about 25 in the Kansas Union.
Common fears include beliefs that passage of the ERA would require the sharing of men's and women's bathrooms, drafting of women and the adoption of more liberal abortion laws, she said.
In addition, Congress already has the powers to treat animals too, regardless of age. Woody said.

When President Carter reinstated registration for the draft, Congress came close to requiring both men and women to register.
The Constitution specifies that all amendments be approved by three-fourths of the state legislatures, but it is unclear whether the rescission of votes, Awsworth said.
The proposed amendment is very simple in nature, she said.
If past precedents stand, state legislatures will not be allowed to rescind their votes, she said.

Section 1 of the ERA states: "Equality of rights under the law shall be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
"Women have abortions, men don't," she said. "The laws concerning abortion will come down to us just as they are."
IN THE SIX YEARS since Congress passed the ERA, 35 of the necessary 38 states have ratified the amendment.
Abortion comes under the heading of issues that cannot possibly apply to births.

Women consistently have proven their value to the military forces, Woody said, and studies have shown they have better memories, equal or superior marksmanship abilities and lower decision problems than their male counterparts.
"The Pentagon itself feels that women in the military are a necessity, although it doesn't say so publicly," she said.
"We feel that women should be allowed to serve with the same benefits and the chance to achieve the same ranks as men."

"A lot of people say they believe women should have equal rights, they just don't think we need a constitutional deal to accomplish that." Awlward said.
Past experience, however, has shown us that it is enough to insure the success of the service.
President-elect Ronald Reagan opposes passage of the ERA and suggests that individual states be required for passing equal rights legislation.
Also, if equal legislation were passed on a state-by-state basis, the Supreme Court would have no jurisdiction over sex discrimination cases, she said.
"Mississippi still hasn't ratified the 19th Amendment on suffrage," she said. "If it's left up to the states, the ERA issue may never be decided."
Jim O'Nell, assistant professor of counseling, was the third panel member described by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
ALTHOUGH CURRENT laws typically discriminate against women, passage of the ERA would end legal discrimination against men as well, he said.
Only 17 states allow either party in a divorce to sure for alimony, O'Neil said. In another example of inequality, the case of two cases are decided in favor of the mother.
“In 22 states, the age of consent for marriage is higher for males than for females,” he said. “In all states, only the husband is legally liable for the wife.” The same applies to producers greater role conflict and work-related problems for the male.”
Such laws would be changed under the ERA to treat both sexes equally, he said.
