Snakes not just a hobby

The snake wraps its body around its owner's neck as its companion crawls on the floor between his feet. Another snake crawls inside, with a window坐 where it glistens in the sun.
"Are you nervous?" his wife asks
"Not yet," the man says.
His face slowly begins to turn red from the pressure as the 10-pound, 4-foot-long snake moves in.
Officers testify in court hearing
These are only three of the four bourses owned by Terry Grund. Grund is one of
Lee Harris, 26, Denver, confessed voluntarily last December to the killing of a Lawrence man, according to testimony in Harrel Crossfield, a Lawrence police detective.
Harris is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the November 1977 slaying of Noram Wood, former manager of W. Woolworth Co. store, 911 Massachusetts.
Crossfield testified in a Douglas County District Court hearing. The hearing was called after a request from Harris, who said that he would not testify on the grounds that it was taken improperly. Harris allegedly confessed while he was taken to Colorado in December after waiving extralimitation.
Harris' defense attorney, Dennis Prater, who was appointed by the court, filed a motion alleging that Harris was coerced into taking the position of two other law enforcement officers during a car trip from Detroit to the Johnson County jail in Glathe. The other officers were David Johnson of the Kansas Bureau of Inspection and the Josephus de la Jones of the Douglas County Sheriff's office.
James Paddock, Douglas County district court judge, heard testimony from the three officers yesterday morning. Paddock instructed Prater and Mike Malone, district attorney, to file written arguments by 1:30 p.m. Friday. Paddock scheduled the hearing of oral arguments for 3 p.m. Monday.

Grund said he expected from 15 to 20 snakes in his first litter. Although raising bees could be profitable, Grund said, making money was not his main objective.
"BASICALLY WHAT I'm trying to do is pay for my b母, "Grund said.
Grund said he had kept snakes since he was in elementary school. As a boy in Massachusetts, Grund said he kept 40 mouse snakes in the summer and let them go in the fall.
Grand said that in New York City, people carried arms around their necks at night as a sign of respect.
"The method seems to work," Grund said.
"The method seems to work," Grud said. Grud's wife, Deborah Smith, shares his penchant for raising animals. But she raises an animal highly incompatible with her husband's boas: Peruvian guinea pigs. She has raised them for the last vew and a half.
SHE KEEPs the 45 long-haired animals, which resemble multi-colored mop heads, in a back room far away from the boas upstairs.
Smith sells her guinea pigs to area pet stores and private owners for $15 to $18
"But buss would try to eat them, if they go close enough," Smith said.
But Smith said she would soon quit raising guinea pigs. She said she could not continually face the trauma of wondering how they were treated after they left her.
Another local local p raises is Bob Clark, Lawrence graduate student, who shares Grumb's fascination with snakes. He said his father was a python lover andPython the money was by-a-product.
"DREED the snakes if I had to give the babies away," Clark said.
Clark said he had been breeding pythons for four years.
He sells them to Lawrence and Kansas city residents and local pet shops. His price ranges from $75-$200.
Grund, Smith and Clark are licensed and taxed for their animals.
But that and their love for animals are not the only things these pet owners have in common. They also have the common desire to address to remain unknown to the public.
They requested, "Please don't print my address. I wouldn't want my neighbors to know about the animals, especially the snakes."

Congressmen differ on draft
By TOM ZIND
Staff Reporter
While local members of Students for a Liberarian Society year ago put a petition calling on the U.S. government to reinstate the draft are meandering through Congress. U.S. representatives
The five draft bills in the House of Representatives are still being debated in subcommittees. Katsuno Shia, legislative co-chair for Rep. Larry Winn, R-Kan, said yesterday.
Rep. Bob Whittaker, R-Kan., said it might be even longer before the bills get to the house floor.
"All of them are in subcommittee hearings," she said. "I imagine the debate will go on through the summer and possibly the fall."
"MOST LIKELY IT will be later than fall or summer," he said. "I doubt if you'll see anything enacted short of it."
The local SLS group is taking part in a national petition drive against the draft because the group says it is concerned that the draft will be reinstated within months.
The three Kansas Congressmen available for comment yesterday had mixed opinions about whether the draft or registration should be reinstated.
The group is opposed to the draft on the grounds that it violates individual rights.
Sloan said that Winn was now opposed to reinstating the draft.
"He is in favor of the all-volunteer force as it is now," she said. "He still keeping me
SLOAISAID WINN had received a lot of mail from students against the draft bills.
In a recent questionnaire sent to Winn's constituents, 54 percent of the respondents favored a return to the draft, while 46 percent were opposed. Sloan said.
Whittaker said he, too, thought the idea of reinstating the draft was "rather objectionable." However, he said he had reservations about the volunteer army.
"I'm still in the process of gathering information from both organizations, have access across the rather disturbing information on all-volunteer army, such as the quality of the applicants and the staff."
But Dan Glicken, D-Kan., differs with his fellow Representatives. He opposes returning to the draft but favors drafts from Joe Ketcham, his press secretary, said.
Whittaker said there probably would not
be a massive effort to register people for the draft unless there was a national emergency.
ONE HOUSE BILL calling for draft registration, also has a provision that would allow the Selective Service System access to name and address information in books.
The office of Charles Bennett, D-Florida, who sponsored the bill, said that the bill would be exempt from regulations which the federal government access to private records
"I think the draft is a good thing." he said. "I don't see any immediate requirement for a full-scale draft, but a draft registration is not a bad idea."
The bills to reinstate the draft have the support of some of the Reserve Officers Training Corps instructors at KU, assistant professor Army Huff, assist professor of Army Huff.
