Hearings dates set in marijuana case
Preliminary hearings have been scheduled for three area men charged Tuesday with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
The men were arrested Saturday after police watched them harvest the marijuana from a field near Bennington, 12 miles north of Salina. Their hearings will be in Ottawa County District Court in Minneapolis.
The hearing for Earnest E. Smith of Lecompton was scheduled for 2 p.m. Sept. 11. The hearing for Kenneth E. Brouhard of Lawrence was set for 10 a.m. Sept. 12. The hearing for his son, Michael G. Brouhard of Eudora, was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sept. 12.
The Brouhards' bail was set at $15,000 each. Smith's bail was set at $30,000 because he has a prior conviction on charges of possession with intent to sell marijuana, said Richard Comfort, Ottawa County attorney.

Students form campus chapter of NOW
The National Organization for Women has arrived at the University of Kansas.
By NANCY BARRE
About 25 men and women attended the new KU NOW chapter's organizational meeting in the Kansas Union last night.
Staff writer
The Lawrence community chapter of NOW has existed since 1966, but a group of four KU students recently formed a campus chapter to better serve students' needs.
"We wanted to see some sort of women's support group on campus," said Liz Walz, Topeka junior and one of the group's organizers.
Walz said she wanted the group to serve as a unifying force and as a forum for discussing outdated sex roles and other women's issues. Membership fees are $5.

Local politicians also will participate. They include Sandy Paeger, Lawrence mayor; Nancy Hiebert, Douglas County Commissioner; and State Reps; Jessie Branson and Betty Jo Charlton.
Walz said the KU chapter didn't want to alienate potentially more conservative members by becoming too political.
State group to meet at Union
Workshops on women's issues are scheduled for tomorrow.
Margaret Arnold, professor of English and the group's faculty advisor, said she had accepted the job because of her concern for the recent regression of women's rights.
"The traditional sex roles are being reinforced," she said. "We're trying to get our women to realize that our battles aren't won by our mothers and grandmothers."

At the meeting, the group planned activities intended to raise the campus community's awareness of the problems women still face
Comparable worth, date rape, affirmative action, sexual harassment, bulimia, abortion, women's roles in religion and availability of birth control were among the issues discussed.
She said she had observed a trend where people were returning to the attitudes that were prevalent in the 1950s.
Hamilton said she was excited about KU's new chapter.
Lectures, workshops, distribution of leaflets, newspaper advertising, lobbying, letter writing and picketing were among the methods proposed for disseminating information about these
"It's great to have a student chapter because students have issues that are particularly important to them," she said. "We'll be happy to cooperate with them and offer fund-raising support to get them started."
Lt. Gov, Tom Docking, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, speaks at the opening of his local campaign headquarters, 2449 Iowa St. The headquarters will serve the Douglas County area.

The babies, balloons and candidates, including LL Gov Tom Docking, were in place last night when the Douglas County Democratic Party opened its 1986 campaign headquarters in the Holiday Plaza, 2449 Iowa St.
Docking outlines goals in Lawrence campaign
Docking told a crowd of about 50 people, mostly candidates, their relatives and campaign workers, that he would work for farmers and a comprehensive law-enforcement program.
Docking has proposed a program called FUTURE, in which parents could pay into a state fund. When their children reached college age, the fund would pay their tuition at Kansas colleges and universities.
The success of the Docking family always has been closely tied to Douglas County, he said. His father, Robert Docking, was governor from 1967 to 1975, and his grandfather, George Docking, served as governor from 1957 to 1961.
"It's such a wonderful idea," Docking said. "I haven't heard any good arguments against it."
The winning program, Docking said after his speech, centers on economic development and maintaining the quality of education in Kansas.
Docking also said he wanted to provide assistance to farmers.
FUTURE is an acronym for Funding Undergraduate Tuition/Undergraduate Reward for Excellence.
"If we continue to work together," he said, emphasizing each word with a raised hand, "we will win in November."

Hayden has said South Africa is usually a grain exporter and is buying the wheat to influence midwestern lawmakers.
Docking said he would implement interest buy-down programs, short-term loan funds for farmers, rural employment assistance and a hot line for management counseling.

Docking said he would continue the present governor's opposition to the death penalty Gov. John Carlin has vetoed death penalty legislation four times in eight years. Hayden favors the death penalty.
The program also would help stop the flow of Kansas' brightest students out of the state. Docking said.
Docking cited a 1985 FBI crime report that said one-tenth of one percent of all crimes were intentional killings.
"Whether you are for or against the death penalty, you are only dealing with one-tenth of one percent of the solution," he said.
The state needs a comprehensive program and tougher prosecution and sentencing, he said.
Docking is running with John Montgomery, fourth-generation publisher of the Junction City Daily Union and five Kansas weekly newspapers. Montgomery also has served on the Board of Regents from 1982 to 1986.
"My sincere commitment is wanting to see the state and the young people in it better off," he said.
Montgomery said he would increase the state's commitment to education. The Regents schools haven't kept pace with their peer schools, he said.
Peer schools are similar to Regents schools and are used as measures of comparison.
Montgomery said he would support a full tuition waiver for all graduate teaching assistants and increase their salaries to the national average, he said.

A trial has been scheduled in a civil case filed by Richard von Ende, executive secretary to the chancellor, against the state Department of Revenue.
Von Ende asks in the suit that the department's driver control bureau set aside an order suspending his driver's license. The trial is scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 21 in Douglas County District Court.
"Over the past eight years, we have turned Douglas County into a two-party county."
Von Ende's license was suspended in November after he refused to take an alcohol breath test, according to court records. He says in the suit that he was unlawfully stopped by Lawrence police officers Nov. 28, 1985, and that a request by officers for von Ende to take a breath test was unlawful.

legal proceedings be delayed because of an illness that required von Ende to be quarantined
According to the document, "the plaintiff states that he has been under the care of a physician and in strict quarantine because of a contagious kidney infection from June 30, 1986, to the present."
Donald Bukus, a physician and kidney specialist at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C., said an ordinary kidney disease was not contagious.
Von Ende, who continues to be on sick leave from the University, declined to comment on the nature of his illness when reached by telephone yesterday.
The previous record for first year power production by a U.S. nuclear plant was established in May by the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant No. 1 at Avila Beach, Calif., KGE said. The Pacific Gas and Electric Co. plant produced 8.699 billion kilowatt hours in its first year.
Although he was not commenting specifically on von Ende's condition, Butkus said the most common contagious kidney disease was tuber
culosis of the kidney. However, he said, a patient normally would not be quarantined
The $3.05 billion Wolf Creek plant produced 8,922 billion kilowatt hours of electrical energy in its first year of commercial operation to provide one-third of the power required by the 700,000 customers it serves in Kansas and Missouri.
He said a more serious disease could require a patient to be quarantined. He said other diseases, such as hepatitis, sometimes affected the kidney, but the other disease, not the kidney infection, would be contagious.
The civil suit began when von Ende was charged Nov. 29, 1985, with operating a vehicle under the influence and having an expired tag and driver's license.
These charges were dismissed May 16.
He also was charged with refusal to take a breath test and his driver's license was suspended as a result of this refusal. But on March 19, von Ende obtained a stay of the suspension.
