News Briefs Kline and Slattery to debate Sunday
Kansas voters will get their only chance to watch the candidates for the 2nd District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives debate when the two meet Sunday in Lawrence.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the debate between Phil Kline, a KU law student and state chairman of the Kansas Federation of College Republicans, and Democratic incumbent Jim Slattery, who is seeking his third term in Congress.
The debate will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at Lawrence City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets. Cable Channel 6 will broadcast the debate live.
The public is invit Clarification
Because of a Kansan deadline, incorrect information was put in yesterday's Student Senate story. About 11:45 p.m. Wednesday, the Senate amended a proposal that it had accepted earlier in a meeting.
The bill now increases the salaries of the student body president and vice president and the chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee, beginning with the next administration. It also creates a $100-a-month expense account for the president and vice president.
Because of the amendment, the president's salary, now $275 a month, will increase to $400 a month. The vice president's salary, now $250 a month, will increase to $375 a month. The salary of Stuart chairman, now $110 a month, will increase to $260 a month.
The initial bill had provided for a yearly $5,000 expense account for the president and vice president and no increase in salaries.
Corrections
Because of incorrect information supplied to the Kanans, the hometown of Roger McDouble was identified in a story in Tuesday's paper. McDouble's hometown is Osborne.
Because of a reporter's error, the Kansan misidentified the spokesman for the Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus in a story about acquired immune deficiency syndrome in yesterday's edition. The spokesman is Kevin Elliott.
Weather
Skies today will be cloudy, and the high temperature will be in the mid-70s. Winds will come from the south at 15 to 25 mph. Tonight, there will be cloudy skies and a 30 percent chance of rain. The low temperature will be in the mid-40s.

Gavin Fritton, Topeka junior and secretary of the KU Democrats, said,
"Everything."
"Mike Hayden is a Johnny one note. He doesn't care anything about solving the causes of crime, but only about punishment after the fact."
But John Creighton, Atwood senior and member of the College Republicans' campaign committee for Mike Hayden, said that calling Hayden a one-issue man was distorting the facts.
Hayden supported a 12-point plan
On the education issue, Creighton said Hayden wanted to create a separate board of education to handle community colleges and technical schools. He also said Hayden's interest in the University of Topeka into the Board of Regents system without spending additional tax revenues until 1992.

However, Todd Cohen, Alta Vista junior and acting president of Kansas Young Democrats, said, "If we bring in Washburn, KU will suffer."
"It's a very clear choice as to who has commitment to education," he said, and referred to Docking's plan to create the FUTURE program, which would allow parents to set aside money, tax-free, for their children's educations.
Hayden also voted against $60 million state aid for education, Cobb said.
"It is a clear choice between being progressive or regressive." Cohen s
Docking supported the three proposed "sin" amendments to the state constitution — liquor by the drink, pari-mutuel wagering and a state lottery. Cohen said.
He said that the amendments, if passed, would do much to stimulate Kansas' sagging economy.
Hall may be open for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time for most students to go home, spend time with family and eat too much turkey.
But for some students who live in KU residence halls and can't go home. Thanksgiving is a time to try to find a place in Lawrence to stay
McElhene said he was concerned that not enough students would be registered by the deadline, 5 p.m. Nov. 7.
The office of residential programs offers those students the opportunity to stay in a residence hall during Thanksgiving break if 50 or more students register for vacation housing at the office in 123 Strong Hall.
If the office receives notice from enough students, McCollum Hall will remain open during the Thanksgiving vacation. The hall will provide no food services, and the students will have to pay a $20 fee.
On Wednesday, only 17 students had registered for holiday housing, said Fred McElhenie, director of residential programs. If fewer than 50 students register, those students who stay in Lawrence will have to find an alternative to campus housing.
He said that a few years ago, several students had signed up at the last minute simply because a fellow resident who needed to stay in the hall urged them to register. Before the students registered, the office had planned not to open the hall because of the lack of response.
McElhenie said he knew that more than 50 students would need a place to stay, but he said he thought students were apathetic about registering for the housing.
However, students leaving for vacation don't have to worry about a stranger occupying their room or going through their things. McElhene
Because of the high rate of occupancy in McCollim this semester, space is limited, so students should sign up as soon as possible, he said.
McEhlene said students also should remember to register to stay during semester break, if they need to. Deadline for registration for the college is June 9. The rules will apply, but the cost will be $115. McEhlene said.
The office puts students in endrooms or in rooms of students who have given permission for friends to use the room.

Churches to discuss differences
By PATRICIA FEENY
Staff writer
Roman Catholics and Lutherans have been divided churches for 467 years.
This Sunday, in an effort to bring understanding of each church to the other, the Immanuel Lutheran Church welcomes me here once the first of three dialogue sessions.
"We want to build an understanding of what the Christian faith is really about," said Don Conrad, a Lutheran Campus minister. "We will discuss the history that has brought us to where we are now and determine what we want to do in the future."
The topic of the three dialogue sessions between local Lutherans and Catholics is "Justification by Faith." The sessions will focus on biblical, historical and contemporary issues related to Christian doctrine two churches deal with such issues.
The first session will deal with bibical study and starts at 8 p.m.
The second session will focus on historical studies at 8 p.m. Nov. 9 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
The final session is at 8 p.m., Nov. 16 at the Immanuel Lutheran Church. The last session will include a telephone conference with Killian McDonnell, a Benedictine monk from St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minn.
A planning board, composed of four Catholics and four Lutherans, is sponsoring the three sessions. The last dialogue session was in 1979.
Wendy Roberts, a board member and Lawrence resident, said the sessions would inform KU Catholic and Lutheran students what current practices were shared by both churches.
"When I was taking classes in religion, there were different understandings about the Lutheran and Catholic practices," she said. "These sessions will cover some of the practices the two agree on."
Local home helps former drug users to recovery

Many women, some of them alcoholics and others drug abusers, take their first steps toward staying sober at a house in Lawrence.
The First Step House, 345 Florida St. is the only drug and alcohol treatment center in Kansas that allows women to bring their children to school to aid Lou Ann Cardinal, the director of the house.
The house is one of 22 agencies that will receive money from this year's Lawrence United Fund Drive, which ends Nov.17.
Cardinal said the center would receive $5,000 from the drive, which would pay for 200 client days of help. She said it cost about $25 a day to house and rebuild one client.
"Aside from government funding, that would be our single biggest contribution." Cardinal said.
She said the original site selected for the center had been on Connecticut Street, but
The First Step House will celebrate its first anniversary tomorrow, and is receiving United Fund money this year for the first time, Cardinal said.
This year's United Fund Drive goal has been set at $600,000. The University of Kansas has collected $83,769 of its goal $84,000, or 76 percent, said Barb Smith, executive director of the
The total collected by the community so far, including KU's total, is $244,000, or 41 percent of the total goal.
neighbors had successfully petitioned the city commission to move the house to another location.
Several of the petition signers said at the time that they thought the value of their property would decrease if First Step took up residence on the block.
Michelle King, Ulysses senior and former night counselor at the house, said, "I guess they just didn't want a bunch of sober women hanging around."
Before being admitted to the center, women must have been substance-free for 30 days.
"If they go back on drugs or alcohol, they are immediately sent out of the house," she said. "Usually they would be sent to a detoxification

previously held a nursing home. Cardinal said neighbors there didn't object to First Step House because volunteers had helped clean the building and make an eyesore look more respectable.
The house is licensed to treat 14 women, and now is full. Cardinal said. Four children also live at the house with their mothers.
The center is now housed in a building that previously held a nursing home.
Cardinal said detoxification centers in Kansas and neighboring states regularly wrote asking to get women and their children into First Step House because of its unique program.
