Candidate emphasizes youth
By KAREN SAMELSON
Phil Kline, Republican candidate for the 2nd District congressional seat, told students last night that youth — his and his constituency's — would play an important role in his campaign.
"I'm not running in spite of my youth but because of it," Kline, a 26-year-old KU law student, said
"Elections are won with people like you," he told more than 100 College Republicans at their organizational meeting in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Kline said he was pleased with the turnout at the meeting and asserted that the 2nd District had one of the largest student populations of any U.S. congressional district.
The district includes the University of Kansas, Kansas State University.
Washburn University in Topeka and
Baker University in Baldwin City.
Kline is running against Democrat Jim Slattery, 38, who is seeking his third two-year term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Kline said that Slattery outspent his opponent, Jim Van Slyke, 6-to-1 in the 1984 election and that Van Slyke still won about 40 percent of the votes.
With a strong youth campaign, Kline said, he could make up the 10 percent and beat Slattery.
The farm crisis will be an important issue in the campaign, he said, adding that his opponent had neglected suffering in rural America.
The plan would help the starving people in the world and build friendships as well, he said.
An innovative solution is needed, Kline said, so he has proposed a plan to provide surplus grain to the needy in the United States and friendly foreign countries.
Getting rid of 2.3 billion bushels of surplus American grain also would cause domestic grain prices to increase, because farmers then would produce only as much grain as the market could support, he said.
Kline also talked about the need to develop a program to end dependency on welfare that is passed on from generation to generation. The Democratic Party wants to create such dependency because it knows it can get votes through dependency, he said.
He proposed establishing a "workfare" program, which would pay welfare recipients the difference between the salary from minimum wage jobs and their welfare checks.
The Lawrence City Commission last night created and eliminated parking in the Oread neighborhood.

Ordinance shifts Oread parking
Parking spaces were removed to make various intersections in the Oread neighborhood safer, said Commissioner Mike Amyx.
Commissioners passed an ordinance removing parking on portions of 11th and Kentucky Streets, while deciding to add 21 off-street spaces in the alley connecting 11th and 12th streets between Tennessee and Ohio streets.
"Crews were in the area doing other work and decided to do all the work at the same time," Wildden said. "Anyone who might have received a parking ticket in the area would not be required to pay the fine."
City public works crews last week painted curbs and put up "no parking" signs designating the areas, said Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager.
Price Banks, city planning director, said, "The city commission sometimes gives an indication of where they're heading, and public works is on a set schedule.
"Sometimes they probably get ahead. I can't speak for them, but it's not irregular on the planning commission."
A project to create additional off-street parking was delivered to the commission by city planner David Guntert. The project calls for clearing and widening the alley that connects 11th and 12th streets
between Tennessee and Ohio streets.
The site was chosen over three others because of the comparative ease of construction and low cost of the project if completed there, Guntert said.
He cited strong neighborhood support as another factor in the planning commission's choice.
The cost of the project was estimated at $24,100. Of that amount, $10,000 will come from money left over from other projects in the same block as the proposed parking alley, said Commissioner Ernest Angino.
"I like the idea that the money will end up being spent there," he said.
The city will pay the remaining cost of the project.
