GOP gubernatorial candidate speaks to University students
By Colleen McCain Kansan staff writer
tepublical gubernatorial candidate Bill Graves says KU students can help end Jim Slattery's political career.
Graves spoke to about 60 students during the meeting of the KU College Republicans at 7 p.m. last night at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
"I'm counting on all of you in November," Graves told the students. "We've been trying to figure out a way to retire Jim Slatter for a long time now."
During his 10-minute speech, Graves spoke little about campaign issues and more about his optimistic view of the race, referring to Slattery as the "anointed successor to Joan Finney." Students then were given 15 minutes to ask questions.
"I didn't mean to discuss heavy policy issues here," Graves said. "We just like to have fun at these meetings."
During the question-and-answer period, Graves said he was an ardent supporter of qualified admissions at Kansas Regents universities.
"I think qualified admissions is something we'll see in the next gubernatorial administration," Graves said. "I'll be speaking in support of qualified admissions from the first day I take office."
Graves, who is currently Kansas secretary of state, said admitting Washburn University to the Regents system was also a goal.
"We will look at making Washburn a Regents school when it is fiscally and politically favorable," he said. "In the long run, this change would be beneficial to the state."
"That means jobs," he said. "I will work so that students will have jobs when they graduate from KU."
after the meeting, Graves said KU students needed a governor who would create a positive economic environment.
Graves, who completed 43 hours toward a master's degree in business at KU, said he was glad to be back in Lawrence.
"I still have a degree of regret that I didn't complete my master's," he said. "I attended KU in 1978 and 1979, and I left to work on George Bush's campaign staff in 1980."
Brad Burke, Topека sophomore and vice chair of KU College Republicans, said he was excited about Graves' candidacy.
"He's a great candidate because he's been in Kansas, and he knows what needs to be done here," Burke said.
Graves worked on Bush's presidential campaign during the spring and summer of 1980, and although Bush lost the Republican nomination, Graves didn't return to KU.
"I guess if I hadn't KU to work for Bush, I probably wouldn't be here as a candidate today." Ggrave said.
KU graduate and former chair of the KU College Republicans Leigh Smith said she returned to campus to hear Grays sneak.
"He was simply fantastic, "Smith said. "Students need to remember that they have one vote, and Bill Gravies has all the qualities that we need."

Cab driver arrested after investigation
Continued from Page 1A.
Police said the woman was at a party on the night of July 23rd at the Adams Alumni Center at the University of Kansas and had been drinking. She was invited to the party by friends, but left by herself after calling a cab. After the woman passed out in the back seat of the cab the driver took her to his home where the alleged incident took place, police said.
"She reported the incident the same day," Lt. Ed Brunt of Lawrence Police said. "She woke up early in the morning and realized she did not know where she was or who she was with."
A-1 City Cab refused to comment, but their lawyer, David Berkowitz, said a different series of events took place that evening.
Berkowitz, who represents the company but not Countess, said A-1 officials told him that Countess
clocked out for the night after dropping the woman off at her destination, called the dispatcher, gave his mileage, then went off duty.
"He was on-duty when he picked her up," Berkowitz said. "He delivered her to where she asked to go and then they later got together when he was off duty."
Berkowitz said he only recently learned of the charges against Countess and he said he did not know what A-1 planned to do about Countess' employment with the company.
"The driver hasn't been terminated," Berkowitz said. "That decision will have to be made by management."
Brunt said the arrest of Countess was not related in any way to a series of three alleged sexual assaults in northwest Lawrence and around the 800 block of Maine.
Greek alcohol policy a possibility

are required to fill out forms notifying the IFC office of a party. Joint policy requires all houses having a party to register it first with the IFC.
Galus said fraternities and sororites were protected by the joint policy. Under the separate policies, only the house registering the party is liable for the consequences. Under the joint alcohol policy, both the house sponsoring the event and any other houses participating in the event are liable. Violations include not registering the party on time, having too many people at a party, and allowing guests in that are not on the guest list.
"I think it makes the most sense to have a joint alcohol policy because fraternities and sororites party with each other," Galus said. "I can't believe we went this long without it."
Galus said representatives and delegates would have two weeks to consider the policy.
gates would spend the two weeks looking at the policy on their own.
Representatives and delegates from IFC and Panhellenic will vote on the policy Sept. 13. If the policy is adopted, it will go into effect immediately.
"Theoretically, we would like them to take it back to their houses and get feedback from the members," Galus said. It was more likely that the representatives and dele-
Galus said that if the joint alcohol policy was adopted, a Greek judicial council would be created to oversee joint fraternity and sorority activities. The council would consist of five men from the IFC judiciary board, which oversees 23 of the fraternities on campus, and five women from the Panhellenic judiciary committee, which oversees 15 of the sororites on campus.
Individual house problems would still be brought before either IFC or Panhellenic. Galus said most of these problems were rush violations.
Some houses might react negatively to the new policy, said Bill Nelson, coordinator for Greek activities and assistant director of the Organization and Activities Center.
"There will be a perception that all of a sudden Panhellenic and IFC are lowering the boom, but we're doing people a favor," he said.
