State parties prepare to choose delegates
From staff and wire reports.
By VIRGINIA McGRATH
Staff writer
It's the season of political races, and Republican and Democratic state committees are gearing up to select delegates to the national conventions next summer.
The Republicans are taking some steps to help U.S. Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas in his bid for the Republican nomination for president.
At a meeting Saturday in Topeka, the committee announced its support for Dole, and adopted some rules that could help him.
But she said that because there is strong support for Dole within the committee and party, members decided an endorsement would be appropriate.
The committee does not usually endorse a candidate, said Catherine Whitaker, the committee's executive director.
"We wanted to be obvious about it," Whitaker said. "We think Bole Dole would do a great job and be a great president."
Kevin Yowell, communications director at the Republican's state headquarters, said, "It's a fair, open, orderly convention process. It should benefit all candidates. But we make no bones about our support for Senator Dole. We hope he picks up 34 delegates."
The also committee voted to move delegate selection earlier so that final selection would be completed by March 5, three days before the election, when many other states will choose delegates.
Whitaker said that solid Kansas delegate support for Dole would give him a boost in the "Super Tuesday" elections.
Potential delegates must pre-register with the county chairman by Jan 15. The Douglas County Committee will review the registration.
At the Douglas County caucus, local Republicans will elect 28 delegates and 28 alternates. Those delegates will go to the district convention, which will be Feb. 20.
When registering, potential delegates must declare which candidate they support or sign up as uncommitted.
Each of the five U.S. congressional districts will have a district convention.
At the district conventions, 15 total delegates will be elected to the national convention, which will be Aug. 15-18 in New Orleans. In addition, 19 delegates will be selected at the state convention March 5 in Topeka.
The Kansas Democratic Party is also preparing for delegate selection. Party members met last night in Topeka to provide information on the nomination to the national convention would be selected.
The Democratic party will have county caucuses March 19. Participants will organize into groups of who they support, and then proportionate numbers of delegates will be assigned to each candidate, said Joe Scranton, the director of the Democratic state central committee.
The county delegates will attend district conventions April 23. Between four and six delegates will be chosen, depending on the district, for a total of 26 delegates to the national convention. The 2nd District, which includes Douglas County, will have five.
Delegates must file by April 2.
Another eight delegates will be selected by the state committee at the state convention May 14.

Professor tells how to put down pickups
You're at a bar and a guy walks up to you and says, "Hey gorgeous, can I buy you a drink?"
Staff writer
What can you answer? Sol Gordon suggests, "You can buy me as many drinks as you want, just as long as you don't talk to me or make it look as if you know me."
Gordon has many suggestions in his new book "Seduction Lines Heard 'Round The World And Answers You Can Give" on what women and men can say when someone pesters them with pickup lines.
Here are a few other common lines and Gordon's suggested responses:
A: Thanks, but I'm sure you'll make it fine on your own.
Q: Is this seat empty?
A: Yes, and this one will be, too, if you sit down.
A: O.K. Hurry up and leave
Many of the lines in the book are humorous. But Gordon, professor emeritus of child and family studies at Syracuse University in New York, wrote a humorous message in mind when he wrote the book.
"I've become a missionary." Gordon said, main focus is that sex is never a test of love.
Gordon is speaking today and spoke yesterday to students, administrators and teachers at Emporia State University. He has advocated mandatory sex education in secondary and primary schools for 30 years.
Gordon said one reason problems such as teen pregnancy and drug abuse were prevalent was that society only offered simplistic messages.
"For instance," Just say no, "is a ludicrous message," Gordon said. "Less than 10 percent
of couples are both virgins on their wedding night."
Gordon said that because of AIDS and chlamydia, which is a venereal disease that can cause infertility if not treated, it was important that people use condoms.
"If a boy says, 'I get no pleasure from using a comon', she must say "Use a condom or get no pleasure."
Laura Pestinger, health educator for Lyon County, said from 300 to 400 people were expected to attend Gordon's lectures. Gordon's trip was sponsored by the Lyon County Health Department and Emporia State University.
Gordon said universities had a responsibility to offer courses in sexuality, provide a health service that makes contraception readily available and make condoms easily available on campus.
Gordon said that the United States did not have sex education in secondary and primary schools.
"People say that we have moral decadence because we have sex education in schools," he said. "We don't have sex education. We have courses in plumbing — a relentless pursuit of the Fallopian tubes."
Gordon advocates that students begin sex education in kindergarten and continue it through 12th grade. He said he thought no one under 18 years should have sex. It is important that morals and not moralistic statments are taught, he said.
"I'm not about to say in schools that if you have sex before marriage, you'll go to Hell." Gordon said. "That would be a moralistic warning, but it not even supposed to proselyte in schools."
Gordon advocates discussing controversial issues fairly and rationally by presenting the wide range of views that exist.
Service for KU debater planned for tomorrow
By a Kansan reporter
A memorial service for David James Macdonald, Bismarck, N.D., junior, will be at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow at Danforth Chapel, KU officials announced.
Macdonald died Friday morning after a van carrying members of the KU debate team Thursday night swerved to avoid hitting a deer and flipped three times on Interstate 24 near the Tennessee-Kentucky border.
Macdonald and eight other students were traveling to a debate tournament at Emory University in Atlanta.
Three members of the debate team who were injured in the accident remained in Nashville, Tenn., hospitals yesterday.
Ofray Hall, Manhattan senior, remained in critical but stable condition in the surgical
intensive care unit at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He was taken off a respirator Saturday, said hospital spokesman Doug Willis. The patient had severe cerebral broken right femur and lung injuries.
John Fritch, Palmyra, Neb., graduate student, remained in satisfactory condition with a broken left collar bone and a broken right arm at Vanderbilt, Williams said.
Peter T. Cannistra, Brooklyn, N.Y., junior, was moved yesterday to a private room from the critical care unit at St. Thomas Memorial Hospital. He remained in serious condition.
All three are with members of their family, Williams said.
The KU debate team wrapped up a 60-team tournament it sponsored over the weekend. KU teams had withdrawn from the competition.

KU police citing bicyclists
Bicyclists beware. KU police are looking for bicyclists who are not following the laws of the road, Lt. Jeanne Longaker said yesterday.
Longaker said complaints about bicyclists who were not obeying the laws had prompted KU police to give tickets Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to more than 20 bicyclists on campus. The students who were cited must go to Lawrence Municipal Court or mail in the records.
"We're just enforcing the law," Longaker said. "We advised our officers to pay special attention to those that are in violation of the law."
Longaker said that this year there had not been more complaints about dangerous bicyclists than usual, but the complaints were serious enough to prompt closer attention.
"This is something we get every year." Longerak said. "Two weeks to a month after school begins, we start to get the calls about bicyclists not yielding to pedestrians, bicyclists
not stopping at stop signs, bicyclists speeding and darting in and out of traffic."
Areas of greatest concern to the pond, at the intersection of West Campus Road and Memorial Drive, the circle drive around the Chi Omega Fountain and the intersection of Sunflower Road and Jayhawk Boulevard. Longaker said police also had received numerous calls about speeding bicyclists on the sidewalk of Irving Hill Road and inattentive riding at the
Longaker said that when students registered their bicycles with KU police, they received a copy of Lawrence bicycle laws.
The handout on bicycle laws covers information such as whether bicycles are legal on sidewalks and the equipment bicyclists must have to legally ride in Lawrence. Handouts are available at the KU police office, 302 Carruth-0'Leary Hall
