the momentum campaign, although a spokesman in St. Louis said the candidates had written to their headquarters about promotions involving the use of their product.
"WE DO NOT involve ourselves in student politics," said Jim Maurice, a spokesman from Anheuser-Busch headquarters in St. Louis. "It's something that is not appropriate for us to do."
Momentum candidates had contacted Anheuser-Busch earlier this fall. Maurice said.
"We thanked them for their interests but we demanded to participate in any of their demands."
Maurice said it was also Anheuser-Busch policy not to interfere with any decisions set down by the University or the Board of Regents.
Cliff McDonald, owner of McDonald Beverages, the Lawrence distributor for Anheuser-Busch, said that he had known about Walker's statements, but denied any involvement in the campaign.

with St. Louis and they know nothing about this. And I know absolutely nothing about it," McDonald said.
Two candidates from the Introspection Coalition also charged Momentum vice presidential candidate David Teoporten with plagiarizing a quotation on Momentum campaign posters from former President Richard Nixon, although they could not document their claims.
Charles Lawhorn, a candidate for a Liberal Arts and Science seat with Introspection, alleged that Teopenten plagiarized the quotation but could not say where the quotation came from.
"WE INTEND to get that evidence." Lawhorn said last night.
Teporter, however, said, "If something came out of my head that sounded like something that was bad, I didn't do it."
"Every student must have confidence in the integrity of their government. The best and only way to achieve this is through a popular demand for the maintenance of a truthful government."
The quotation on the Momentum poster reads,
Lawnhaw said the quotation was "an exact reiteration of a statement" made by Nixon, although Nixon had used "citizen" where Teoporteen had used "student."
DURING THE two-hour debate, Walker and Teopoorten said they questioned the validity of the Nov. 17 and 18 elections.

Lifeline rates depend on Legislature
Staff Reporter
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
Angry gas and electricity customers this winter may force the Kansas Corporation Commission and the Kansas Legislature to think again about Lifeline rates for the low-income elderly and handicapped, a KCC spokesman said yesterday.
Tom Taylor, the KCC public information director, said that the commission officially decided this week that Kansas law prohibited it to implement Lifeline rates. The decision will now place responsibility for further action with the Legislature.
A targeted Lifeline rate is set below the actual cost of service for the elderly, poor or other needy Kansans, to help ensure they get electricity and natural gas. Under such a plan,
"The commission does feel that it has a definite responsibility to help people." Taylor said. "This is a legal decision. Now it will be a social policy decision for the Legislature."
other customers would have to pay more money to make up the difference.
ALTHOUGH GAS and electric companies traditionally have opposed the ideology of Lifeline rates, Taylor said he did not think the KCC would strongly oppose Lifeline rates if the Legislature gave it the necessary regulatory power.
REC spokesmen consistently argued in committee meetings last session that a state statute prohibited them from authorizing a rate that they said would discriminate against other
State Rep Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, who introduced the Lifeline rate bill last session, said that Lifeline rates would not be discriminatory, because each rate hike already discriminated against those who used only small amounts of gas and electricity.
Proponents of the Lifeline legislation, which died in committee, disagreed. They said the KCC simply did not want to use its obvious powers and was misconstruing the intent of the statute.
"WHO IS subsidizing who? In the case of the
electric companies, the power plants have to be able to meet a peak demand, and it is the larger customers, commercial customers, that increase this peak demand," Charlton said.
"But the low income people still pay the base rate on the plant, can operate at that peak."
rate so the plant can operate at that peak. Charlton, re-elected recently to her second term, said yesterday that she expected more support from legislators. The rate she输到了, she said she would reintroduce to the Energy and Natural Resources Committee during the next session.
BUT REGARDLESS of legislative support, Charlton said, any state action this year would not help those elderly and handicapped who could not afford to pay their utility bills in the quickly approaching winter months.
"Lifeline rates are not the total answer," Charlton said. "We need to stop the deregulation of gas at the federal level. But for the sake of all of us we need to do something. High utility bills are becoming a hardship for some, and for others it is now a Lifeline and death matter."

Brezhnev
Under Breznev's heavy-handed rule, the Soviet Union lost ground in terms of human freedoms, reversing the Khrushchev-era liberalization that had followed Stalin's repression. Political dissidents and Jews trying to emigrate were persecuted.
The "Brevhnew doctrine" reserved for Moscow the right to crush such deviations for the overall good of the Marxist-Leninist cause. But in Western eyes, it undercut his oft-appealed pleas for peace, coexistence and voluntary restraint in building up nuclear arsenals.
BREZIHNE SENT tanks into Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and ordered nearly 100,000 soldiers into Afghanistan 11 years later when the war ended. The attack of the Kremlin of the path of socialism as seen by the Kremlin.
BURLY, BETTE-BROWED, decisive,
brodhev was the son of a steelworker and
his wife.
Then in 1977, in the first major leadership shakeup since Khrushchev's ouster, he took on the additional title of president. His power resided in the party leadership while the largely ceremonial presidency put him on par with other beads of state in terms of protocol.
He helped to depose the flamboyant Nikita Krushchev in October 1964, then gradually emerged as "first among equals" in the ruling Polubiro. In 1966 he felt confident enough to take the title of general secretary of the Communist Party, not used since Stalin held it.
He matched wits and nerve with five American presidents and saw superpower relations fluctuate from Kissinger-era detente to Reagan's charge that Russian leaders
But while Krushchev was forced to capitulate in his biggest showdown, the Cuban missile crisis, Brezhnev repeatedly warned that the times had changed and that the Soviet Union would never again be humiliated by superior military power.
HIS PRIORITY carried a cost. The Soviet economy stuttered along, decades behind the capitalist nations. The Soviet peoples' standard of living remained one of the lowest in Europe, and its unreliable agricultural system forced them to feed on their people and livestock its livestock.
To back up that claim, Brezhnev launched the greatest military buildup in history, studding Eastern Europe with multi-headed nuclear strikes, the navy and president over a huge standing army.
Brezhnev, however, continued throughout his life to keep alight the flame of detente.
"God will not forgive us if we fail," the atheist Breznev told Jimmy Carter, a born-again Christian, when they signed the SALT II pact in Vienna on June 18, 1978.
IT WAS Brezhnev who made detente a reality with a nuclear-age blend of pragmatism and a recognition that without a superpower accord to
control their mighty arsenals, world peace was unachievable.
But it was also Breshnay who scuttled the chance for establishing a long-term agreement with the United States, when in December 1899 he sanctioned the invasion of Afghanistan by an estimated 90,000 Soviet troops and established a puppet government under President Brabek
Armenian experts speculated Brezinnef moved serious challenges within the Poliburo as a result of the decision to invade; and its huge cost to the Soviet Union, both economically and politically.
BREZINEV LECTURED two Polish party leaders on the dangers of the union movement and demanded that action be taken to stifle the challenge and return the country to party control.
Brezhnev also watched as Polish workers organized into the independent trade union, Solidarity, in 1980, threatening Communist Party control in that country, and by extension, as a threat to US troops.
But he hesitated to take the ultimate step — an invasion of Poland by the Soviet-led Warsaw pact forces that ringed the country and awaited his orders.
In his address to the 24th Communist Party Congress in 1971, Breznev outlined the peace program that disclosed the direction in which he intended to steer Kremlin foreign policy. It called for detente and collective security in Europe, a ban on nuclear arms and a commitment conference as well as the expansion of relations "with all states which seek to do so."
The first socialist leader not to have fought in the Bolshevik Revolution, Brezhnev was born Dec. 19, 1906, in the Ukrainian village of Kamenskoye, later named Dneprödzherzink. Royalty ruled Russia then and unrest gripped the nation.
His father, an ethnic Russian, was a poor steelworker. Brezhnev was 12 when the revolution swept Russia and installed bolshевism as the harsh new law of the land.
At 17 he joined the Young Communist League, thus becoming a senior member of the post-revolutionary generation of Communists in Russia. While climbing to full party membership, he studied engineering and worked for the state as a surveyor.
He later became a civil servant in government land offices in the Ukraine — work that served him well years later when he distinguished himself by successfully taking a role in Khrushchev's "virgin lands" program of agricultural development in Kazakhstan.
Like many other Communists who observed both party loyalty and political caution during the 1930s, Breezhen moved quickly upward through party ranks than backed by Stalin's purges.
Another such party worker was Khrushchev, who noticed Brezhnev's ability and dedication to him under his wing. Khrushchev guided Brezhnev's career almost until the very October day when Brezhev and other dissatisfied Kremlin figures deposed him.
