23 University Daily Kansan / Friday, November 7, 1986 7 Hearings aimed at 'sin' laws Panel hopes for speedy action on amendments The Associated Press TOPEKA — A legislative committee will begin hearings next week aimed at drafting legislation to carry out the three "sin" amendments voters approved during Tuesday's general election. Leaders of the panel said they hoped for quick action when the Kansas Legislature convened in January. "We will move very swiftly on our work," said Sen. Edward Reilly, R-Leavenworth, chairman of the Special Committee on Federal and State Affairs. The committee will begin hearings Nov. 12 on proposals to govern the newly approved lottery, pari-mutuel wagering and liquor-by-the-drink amendments. The vice chairman of the committee, Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, said he hoped proper legislation would be pre-filed before the 1987 session began. The panel scheduled three days of hearings for next week Gov.-elect Mike Hayden also said he hoped the start-up measures would be enacted quickly because voters said they wanted them carried out fairly and quickly. "I think we're going to move with expediency to get them implemented." Hayden said. "We're also going to make sure they're squeaky clean, that criminal elements cannot take advantage of them and that Kansas will benefit." Researcher to study programs for disabled Mark Mathews hopes that elderly and disabled people across the country will benefit from his next year of research. Last month, the National Institute of Handicapped Research in Washington awarded a $50,000, one-year, post-doorbal fellowship to Mathews, a research associate with the KU Research and Training Center on Lepin. By CRAIG HERRMANN Mathews began his research Oct. 1, and will travel across the country through Sept. 30, 1987, to examine and compare different programs used by research and training centers for both disabled and elderly people. Mathews said he would study as many programs as possible. The institute finances 35 research and training centers. About 400 independent living programs exist across the country. "The fellowship will give me the opportunity to take a year off and look at how the different centers operate and how they are working." Mathews will compile his findings into reports that he will deliver to the institute in Washington and distribute to U.S. research and training centers. "Each 'R and T' center has a slightly different focus on the aspects of independent living for the disabled and elderly," Mathews said. "Despite their innovations, they don't seem to have an effective way of sharing their findings." Mathews, formerly of Topeka, said he would try to develop ways to catalog innovations in independent living facilities. Right now, Mathews said, about the only way for centers to learn about other centers' discoveries is for researchers to read the various journals being published. people with high spinal injuries," he said. "Across the country, there may be other centers that might be able to benefit from those findings, but they simply don't have an easy way to learn about them." "Often, one center may develop an innovation, say for Unfortunately, centers have trouble keeping track of innovations described in the thousands of articles published each year, he said. "A person could literally spend all of his time reading, with no time to actually do anything with the findings," he said. Mathews, who holds a bachelor's degree in human development and a doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of Kansas, credited the entire staff's research efforts for his fellowship opportunity. "Without the work being done by the rest of the people in the research and training center here at KU, my research wouldn't be possible." Mathews said. He said that an average of 12 research projects were conducted in the center at any given time, with five doctoral-level researchers and 12 graduate students conducting them. These projects, Mathews said, range from helping make community areas more accessible to the disabled, to researching the problem of handicapped parking violations. Mike Jones, another research associate, said he thought Mathews' fellowship would benefit the KU center. Tom Thornton/KANSAN Mark Mathews, research associate with the KU Research and Training Center on Independent Living, has received a $50,000 fellowship for research from the National Institute for Handicap Research in Washington, D.C. Hayden to appoint his transition team United Press International TOPEKA — Governor-elect Mike Hayden yesterday said that he probably would announce the members of his transition team today. In a brief interview in the speaker's office, Hayden said he was deciding who would be on the team, which would work with a similar team from Gov. John Carlin's staff to The Hayden win sent tremors throughout state offices housing Democratic appointees, particularly those workers who are "unclassified," in other words, unprotected by the state civil service system. At the top of cabinet secretaries who might be expected to remain in office is Secretary Robert Harder of the Department of Social Services.
