scope of the attorney general's office was an important part of the debate.
--needs strengthening, and 40 of these at-
tachments be immediately transferred for this purpura.
Whereas Schneider advocated the continuation of the present organization of the attorney general's office, Van Sickle proposed sweeping redistribution of state attorneys and an added emphasis on the need for rehabilitation areas of law enforcement.
Van Sickle's plan would have all 140 state
employed attorneys transferred under the
state attorney general's order.
"It's ridiculous to assume the attorney general can be the chief attorney with only 14 lawyers in his office," Van Sickle said. "The attorney general's office
Van Sickle said he would combine the Kansas Bureau of Investigation with the criminal division of the attorney general's office and use the added attorneys to facilitate the trial process and carry the case through to completion.
He also said that of these 40 lawyers, 23 of them would have private practices. If they were doing a full-time job for the state, they would be able to take more time to law enforcement needs.
Van Sickle also proposed that the attorney general spend more effort trying to affect
legislation in the area of law enforcement and lobby the legislature through the Governor's Commission on Criminal Administration.
"I think the attorney general can open up a new area of influence as far as the legislature is concerned," Wickle said. "I think the attorney general should be involved in detention and rehabilitation, because I alone by influence of the attorney general."
Schneider disagreed and defended the present system.
"It's not the attorney general's job to lobby," Schneider said. "By doing this, you're just stepping on other people's toes and taking over their jobs."
An increased influence in the detention and rehabilitation areas of law enforcement
would eventually cut down on the amount of recoercing criminals, Van Sickle said.
"I think the attorney general should be involved because if detention fails, the prosecutor will be confronted with the same evidence," he again. "Vinick Sibley said, 'law enforcement must be a composite whole, and our present system of detention and rehabilitation has failed.'"
Schneider said that it wasn't the job of the attorney general to go into detention and rehabilitation, and said that lobbying by the attorney general would be an illegal use of an appointed agency.
"The duty of the attorney general stops at the conviction," Schneider said. "But even so, potentially the office has more power than other authority any other state office."
The Lawrence comprehensive land use program was amended to include a four-block area that will be used for expansion development of Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

west and West Second Street on the north. Guidelines for a 20-year expansion plan should be put into the comprehensive plan. The expansion guidelines weren't adopted by the planning commission because the commissioners think there should be a need for further study.
The 20-year plan would incorporate further land acquisition and the improvement of roads.

Kansas tourism urged
"Drive Less—Travel, Camp, Fish, See or Ski Kansas."
Matthes said Tuesday that the bumper stickers were originally devised to urge
Bumper stickers with this legend should be visible throughout the state of Kansas. The Kansas Department of Economic Development plans to distribute the stickers go well.
According to George Mathews, department spokesman about 7,000 of the original staff at the New York Times, "there was no doubt" that
Kansans to conserve energy. Although the effects of the energy crisis weren't as severe, they did cause the bumper stickers and fitted in nicely with the department's tourism campaign, he said.
Mathews said the inclusion of "Ski Kansas" was twofold in its intent. The sticker encouraged users to water-ski on the lakes of Kansas and was meant to encourage tourism through the display of "Ski Colorado" bumper stickers, he said.
