"I know that something needs to be done, but I don't know if racing is the answer. I personally don't agree with horse racing from a humanitarian standpoint."
Nice said she hadn't seen any of the possible abuses to horses, but had heard cases of race horses who were starved, drugged and stuck with objects.
Bud Newell, owner of Serenata Farms in LeCompton, said the policing organizations for tracks should set penalties for track abuses.
"Not every horse that is in racing is abused," she said. "But the propensity is there."
"Any place that money is involved you have to watch it," Newell said. "It's a sport like everything else and it's not totally clean."
Newell also said he thought it
was time for Kansas to share in the prosperity that other states were enjoying.
"I think the state needs to get out of the dark ages and become contemporary," Newell said. "There is a lot of labor and a lot of dollars created."
Newell said jobs would be created for trainers, stall cleaners and people from the transportation and feed industries.
But money generated for the state may not come quickly, Funk said.
The time needed to build larger tracks and cover the costs involved may take a few years, she said. Racing also takes time to draw the people with a lot of money.
"It's not something that's going to be an instant success," she said.
Senex Continued from p. 1
Frances Ingemann, chairman of the Committee of Tenure and Related Problems, a faculty disciplinary committee, said the procedures needed to be spelled out clearly, but the system didn't need to be revamped.
"I think some fine tuning needs to be done," she said.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, indicated in a recent letter to SenEx that changes needed to be made that were more extensive than the ones being discussed.
Cobb couldn't be reached for comment yesterday.
Wick said Cobb indicated that the study of existing procedures needed to be a bit more comprehensive and a separate handbook of faculty disciplinary procedures might solve the problem.
said she doesn't dig for receipts, but thought the program was a good idea.

Dividend
"I like it. If I get $15 next semester that's fine because it always seems to come when I need it," she said.
Word said KU students were lucky because the Union bookstores were one of only 10 out of the 100 largest bookstores in North America to have the program. Many of the other stores that once had the dividend program gave it up because of the difficult accounting procedures involved.
This should be avoided at the KU Bookstores with the arrival of a new computer system to handle the dividend program. Word said the computer system would replace all of the work on the program, which was presently done by hand. The system is due to arrive in about three months, but may not be fully operational for two years.
Shuttle
Continued from p. 1
Jack Bass, public affairs coordinator for the journalist-in-space program in Houston, said program coordinators had a joint review with NASA last week and decided to continue with their plans.
The national review panel is now scheduled to consider the applications of the 40 finalists in May, Bass said.
Marilyn Yarbrough, KU professor of law and associate vice chancellor of research, graduate studies and public service, is a member of the national panel.
Other aspects of the shuttle program are still on hold.
Thomas Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy, said he expected the probes he was working on, originally scheduled to go up in May and June, to be launched in July 1987 at the earliest.
"We're doing what needs to be done to keep activity moving forward," Armstrong said.
Armstrong's office is working on the design and computer programming of the probes which are to test the radiation in the atmosphere of Jupiter and the sun. The Jupiter probe, Gallilee, was to be launched from the shuttle Atlantis in May while the probe of the sun, Ulysses, was scheduled for early June.
Since all shuttle flights have been postponed until the cause of the explosion is discovered, the probes will probably be unable to go up until next summer, he said. Earth and Jupiter must be in a certain position, attained only once every 13 months, for the probes to be effectively launched.
Armstrong said he would know more about the project's future after a meeting at Johnson Space Center next week. A professor from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, which is coordinating the design of the probes, will attend the meeting, he said.
