State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, Democratic representative in the 46th District, said the death penalty was permanent but not always administered justly.
Martha Parker, the Republican candidate for the 45th District seat, responded by making references to the recent murder of a KU student from Eudora and other local murders.
Death penalty divides candidates at forum

The clearest answers and most obvious party split in a debate among local legislative candidates last night concerned the death penalty, with the Republicans in favor and the Democrats opposed.

Ben Casad, the Republican candidate in the 46th District, said he thought teachers received relatively high salaries compared to other workers in the state.
Charilton said she did not support the merit pay concept because it would not attract more and better teachers.
Casad said that he supported using more money from the state's general fund for merit pay increases but that he did not support an across-the-board salary increase.
teachers' salaries. but not property taxes
"It's an expensive new state program that gives us all at it," he said, explaining that the money was better spent on other aspects of criminal justice.
Bob Miller suggested that money the state was expected to receive because of changes in the federal income tax laws could be used to finance education instead of refunding the money to taxpayers.
Democrats Bob Miller, running in the 43rd District, and State Rep. Jessie Branson, of the 44th District, said they wanted to increase
The death penalty question was one that was asked of all eight candidates who debated in two groups last night at City Hall. About 25 people attended the debate, sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Legislative Affairs Committee.
Branson said she felt strongly enough about education that she might consider small income tax increases for wealthy individuals.
Her Republican opponent, Chris Miller, said he was once a teacher and would like to see salaries increased. However, if increasing property taxes was the only way to do so, he would choose to leave teacher salaries where they were now, he said.
Candidates' responses varied about whether property taxes should be increased to raise teachers' salaries.
The debate was divided into two rounds, with candidates from the 43rd and 44th districts appearing first. Sid Shapiro, KU law professor and chairman of the committee, moderated.
ner Democratic opponent, State Rep. John Solbach, countered that capital punishment wouldn't bring back the victims.

udiq presents KU's goals to Regents
By TONY BALANDRAN
The top executives of the seven Board of Regents schools, including Chancellor Gene A. Budig, presented their separate reports explaining the purposes and the "missions" of their schools to the Regents yesterday.
The Regents will meet again today at the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
The officials gave reports on their schools that included self-examinations of their backgrounds, their roles in the Regents system and their objectives in higher education, said Frank J. Becker, a Regents board member.

The result of the KU vs. K-State football game will mean more than just another mark in the win column for one of the teams.
The reports, which he said were not used for determining their budgets, explained their purposes and reasons for being educational institutions, he said.
presented with KU's report, Budig said, "Most observers agree that the KU formula is working; enrollment is up, student quality is higher than ever, we are attracting superior faculty, accreditation reports and other outside reviews give the University high marks."
If the University of Kansas wins, Lawrence will receive a bushel of apples. If the Jayhawks fail in their quest, the Warman will hold a Jayhawk captive.
KSU rivalrv fuels Chamber of Commerce
"We are basically asking them. 'What are you?' and 'What do you want to be?' " Becker said, "and the institution decides what to include in their report."
"Over the next five years we intend to hold our academic course while working to improving existing programs." he said.
Becker also said most of the reports covered three areas: education, research and service to
KU stands at the forefront of knowledge and is determined to remain there. Budig said.
"We are determined to continue to be an economic force in Kansas, an intellectual and a moral force in the lives of those we touch"
Becker said the Regents had asked the schools to compile their reports last spring.
In a cover letter dated yesterday, which Budig

Both Wiklund and Mike Hauser, executive vice president of the Manhattan chamber, estimate that to reach their goals they will have to add about 100 new members. Chamber staff at about $150 a year each.
These spoils are part of a good-natured membership drive between the two cities' chambers. Manhattan has set a goal of $20,000 worth of chamber memberships, while Lawrence is shooting for $20,001, Wiklund said.
KU members include ao ministrators, deans, faculty and coaches, greek organizations, the Student Senate and the Kansas Union, Wiklund said.

"We wanted to hold the competition on neutral ground." Wiklund
The membership drives will kick
The Manhattan chamber put up a billboard in Lawrence that says, "Beat Lawrence. From Your Friends Up The River." Last week, the Lawrence chamber rented a billboard in Manhattan that displayed a saint bearing the picture of an apple core and the message, "It's Fru果less, the real action is down river. From the best of the big ate!"
At about 11:15 a.m. tomorrow, the executive vice presidents of the two chambers, Hauser and Gary Tuebenen of Lawrence, are expected to give one another a pie in the face before the football game.
Hauser said he had been "volunteered" for the duty.
Neil Woerman, Stephan's special assistant, responded to the remarks saying, "The task force was created in the spring of 1985. Sixteen of its recommendations were adopted by the Kansas Legislature through 10 different bills. This was in the spring of 1986. I don't see how one could criticize that time schedule."
Second, Moore recommended legislation that would expand mandatory reporting of elderly abuse. He proposed the inclusion of employees of adult care homes, such as nursing homes, in the law that now requires teachers and law enforcement officers to report suspected abuse cases.

Candidate sees abuse as concern
Moore, who called the news conference at the Lawrence Public Library, said, "Victims of family violence have special needs and require special consideration. Without a compassionate approach, victims typically abandon the criminal justice system in frustration only to return to the violent family situation with heightened feelings of helplessness."

Moore, the Johnson County district attorney, criticized Stephan's task force, saying that it addressed the problem of missing or exploited children but that action could have been taken six or eight years earlier.
Dennis Moore, the Democrat running against incumbent Bob Stephan in the attorney general's race, at a news conference in Lawrence yesterday called his graveist violence one of the state's gravest problems.
Moore, who helped found the Johnson County Association for Battered Persons and an accompanying battered women's shelter, recommended three measures to fight domestic abuse.
First, he said the statewide toll-free child abuse hot line, called the Fraud Hothline, should be broadened in report of spouse and elderly abuse.
However, Shannon Manzanares, program administrator for family/child protective services at Social Rehabilitation Services in Topcape, said that the current Fraud Hotline already took reports of suspected domestic abuse and that emphasis on hot lines could add problems to the abuse-reporting system.
Manzaares said parents involved in divorce custody cases often called the hot line to report child abuse by the former spouse.
"Hot line reports tend to be anonymous," she said. "We would rather have people call SRS directly to prevent abuse of the number."
Last year, SRS received and investigated 22,392 reports of suspected child negligence and abuse, which includes sexual, emotional and physical abuse.
Finally, Moore proposed additional law enforcement training outlining policy and procedures to be followed in domestic violence cases.
