Local spots lure hopeful fishermen
By KIRK ADAMS

Fishermen in the Lawrence area are dropping their lines hoping to snaag the granddaddy of them all. They have told me they still talk about the one that got away.
This fall, some favorite fishing spots are the Bowersock Dam in North Lawrence over the Kansas River and Douglas State Fishing Lake.
Lester Davis, a Leavenworth resident, said he went to Bowersock Dam about once a week.
Davis makes his own dough bait.
It's a concoction of Wheaties and wheat germ, some with vanilla and
some with garlic. The idea, he said,
was to put together something that
smelled really awful.
"It usually works better than the stuff you buy," he said.
Marshall Caldwell, a Topeka resident, had two lines i the water below the dam.
Caldwell said he came to the dam every day and had been fishing there for five or six years. He said he was the bigger fish were near the waterfall.
Caldwell said he had a gar on his line that he thought was about 30 pounds, but the fish got away when he tried to net it.
Caldwell said flathead catfish were
his favorite because they grew to about 50 or 60 pounds and tasted like shrimp. Last week, he said, he bought three pies that were about 30 pounds apiece.
He said, "You get a flathead and you don't even fish any more that day. You've done caught the king of fish."
Caldwell used goldfish and corn for bait. He said flathead liked goldfish, and that a person could anything with corn. At the dam, Caldwell said, the usually stopped biting humoor, but after dark they got hungery again.
Caldwell said one of his special methods for catching fish was to put
stink bait inside dough bait. He said the fish seemed to like that.
Richard Brooks, Sault St. Marie, Mich., resident, fished at Clinton Lake yesterday while visiting Lawrence.
Brooks said that in Minnesota, he once hooked a fish that was so strong it pulled his pole into the water before he could see what kind of fish it was.
Jim Dunn, wildlife conservation officer for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said the Kansas River had panfish, an occasional fish known as flathead and blue catfish, and rough fish such as sturgeon, carp and gar.
CBS stations may televise Kansas lottery
TOPEKA — Seven CBS-TV affiliates in Kansas would get the rights to broadcast drawings of the Kansas Lottery under a proposal the state's commission should consider within the next month.
The Associated Press
The lottery agency's three-member Procurement Negotiating Committee has recommended that the commission create "The Kansas CBS Lottery Network," the agency announced yesterday. The committee consists of Lottery Director Larry Montgomery, Commission Chairman Paul Steele, and Nick Roach, state director of purchases.
The lottery network would include affiliates in the Kansas City area, Topeka, Wichita, Hays and
Dodge City. However, spokesman Nancy Zogilem would only release the general details of the network proposal, saying the agency wanted to provide the commission considers it to make more details public.
The next Lottery Commission meeting has not been scheduled, but Zogleman said it probably would consider the network proposal in several weeks.
Zogleman also said the stations in the proposed network submitted the proposal as a group. She said the procurement committee would consider that the station radio networks to have supplemental broadcasts.
Under the proposal, the seven stations in the network would be: KCTV, Channel 5, in the
suburban Kansas City area; KWCH, Channel 12, in Wichita; WIBW, Channel 13, in Topeka; KTVC, Channel 6, in Ensign-Dodge City; KOAM, Channel 7, in Pittsburgh; KAYS, Channel 7 in Hays, and KLOE, Channel 10, in Goodland. KCTV is a member of Missouri's lottery network.
The stations would broadcast live the drawings of grand prizes at the end of instant-win ticket games, the daily numbers drawings in on-line, and the weekly prize drawing for the state lottery, and a weekly half-hour game show.
The stations also would broadcast lottery advertising for no charge and pay a promotional fee, Zoggleman said. In return, the stations would get to advertise around the lottery programs, she said.
Black students meet to discuss leadership
Jacob U. Gordon, founder and executive director of the University of Kansas Center for Black Leadership, Development and Research, founded the symposium three years ago and has coordinated it since.
The third annual Black Leadership Symposium, created to help black high school students in Kansas pre-requisites, will meet in Lawrence today.

Gordon said the main purpose of the symposium was to prepare young blacks for leadership opportunities in education, academia and government.
About 50 high school students and about 50 adults are scheduled to attend the symposium at the University of Illinois, 200 McDonald Drive, Gordon said.
"One of the rationales for the symposium was that we wanted to increase the number of black honor students in the state, not dropouts," he said. "The very intelligent and motivated tend to be forgotten. We assume that they will succeed, but often they don't."
Efforts to support these students will not end with the symposium. In addition, the Center will identify role models in the students' communities
"Some very bright students don't know about their opportunities," Gordon said.
and will get them to become involved with the progress of the students. Gordon said these role models would meet with the students on a monthly basis as a follow-up to the symposium.
Students will also attend weekend sessions helping them in areas such as preparation for the PSAT, SAT and ACT, motivation, developing self-esteem and understanding how college selections work.
During the symposium, students will hear speakers, participate in discussions and attend workshops on their academic and personal lives.
Arthur Fletcher, former U.S. undersecretary of labor, will deliver the keynote address at the symposium. Fletcher, originally from Kansas, is president of Arthur Fletcher and Associates in Washington, D.C.
Horace B. Edwards, Kansas secretary of transportation, will deliver the luncheon address.
Clantha McCurdy, financial aid director of the Board of Regents, will conduct a workshop on financial preparation for college, and Howard Adams, executive director of the National Council for graduate education for Minorities in Engineering Inc. Notre Bend, Ind, will lead a motivation workshop.
Students involved in the program are in grades 9-12 and in the top 10 percent of their class, or have been designated as gifted.
