"Freedom, that's the biggest thing," Pitner said.
Tom Hay, Lawrence sophomore, said Brejcha gave students a free
hand in creativity and responsibility around the shop.
The students, Brejca said,

care of the shop and to take
equipment.
A measure of their dedication hangs on one wall of the barn. It is a $2,000 computer that controls the temperature of the annealing ovens. The students paid for it out of their pockets and by selling some of their glass creations.
The purpose of the glass-blowing program, he said, is not to make something small to please a parent.

As a KU freshman, Hay said, he enrolled in some graphic arts courses. He said he learned a lot, but sacrificed some of his creativity.

Pro-liquor group says expenses not reported
United Press International
TOPEKA — A group formed to promote passage of a constitutional amendment legalizing the sale of liquor by the drink accused its main opponent — the anti-liquor Kansans for Life at Its Best! — yesterday of failure to report money it received and spent in 1985 to oppose the amendment.
However, the Rev. Richard Taylor, head of the anti-liquor group, said his group neither received nor spent anything for that purpose in 1985.
Lacking a formal opinion request Attorney General Robert Stephan declined to get involved in the squabble. The tiff was sparked by a news release from Kansans for Effective Liquor Control, the group formed to win approval of the liquor amendment.
mendment.
Clayton Hunter, executive director
of Kansans for Effective Liquor Control, cited a Kansas law that said that anyone engaged in activity that promoted or opposed a constitutional amendment must report expenses for the previous calendar year Feb. 15.
The law covers direct promotion, or opposition of a constitutional amendment that is before the voters, and apparently does not include legislative lobbying before the issue goes on the ballot.
Hunter his group filed such a report covering the period from April 1985, when the Legislature voted to put the issue on the ballot, through December 1985.
Taylor said that Kansans for Life at Its Best had been busy working on other issues, such as a proposed state lottery, part-mutuel gambling on horse and dog racing, and other liquor-related issues.
