suit against the State of Kansas. The suit is expected to test the constitutionality of a law prohibiting the use of the word "surrender" in a courtroom.

Name of store stirs constitutionality battle
Attorneys representing the state of Kansas and a Lawrence business have begun preparing their cases for a constitutionality battle involving the use of the word "drugstore" in a business that doesn't dispense drugs.

Douglas County Attorney Mike Malone issued a warning in April to Kern and his partner, "Jane Glotzbach, to remove the word 'Drug' from the title of their business. They were given 10 days to comply with the order.
The case probably will be heard in late August or September and involves the XXX Store, formerly The Drug Store, 768 Massachusetts St., according to Kim Kern. The store sells pipes, the store sells pipes, cigarette papers, incarnas and other paraphernalia.
Kern and Globzbach decided to bring suit against the state to determine if the law was
constitutional. A restraining order was issued later in April to prevent Malone from seeking criminal action against them. Because the suit had been brought against the state, the case was moved to Shawnee County District Court.
"I think that we're going to have to discuss it, Kern said. "We won't keep it up."
Kern said that Malone told them if they won the case, he would take them to the state supreme court. According to Kern, this would increase the cost of the litigation and he isn't sure that they would continue with the present suit.
According to Malone, the owners have been cooperative with his office and have agreed to remove the word "drug" from business while the suit is being completed.
Violation of this is an unclassified misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $25 to $50 for the first offense and up to $100 for multiple violations.

Women's sports fund among lowest in Big 8

Bv JANICE EARLY
Women's intercollegiate athletics at the University of Kansas is losing ground to several other Big Eight programs in overall operating budget allocations, Marian Washington, women's athletics director, said last week.
"Three years ago we were in the forefront of the Big Eight," Washington said. "Now we've lost ground to several other schools in deep money and overall operating budget."
In fiscal year 1977 the women's budget was $190,778, including $40,000 from the Student Senate and $30,000 from the Williams Educational Fund. In comparison, in fiscal year 1978 the University of Oklahoma has a budget of over $340,000, $100,000 of which is designated for grants-investments of Nebraska and Missouri requiring aizable increase, which would raise their budgets to approximately $300,000.
Steve Leben, student body president, said yesterday the Senate didn't feel that it was the students' obligation to pay for intercollegiate athletics.
Women's athletics if funded through three main sources: the State of Kansas, the Student Senate and the Williams Educational Fund. However, the Student Senate has resolved not to fund women's sports in any form after fiscal year 1978.
He said the Senate had done its job to help
women's athletics get off the ground at a time when the program needed money. Women's athletics has reached a point now, but it's still important that can provide adequately for their needs.
The Student Senate funding represents a big percentage of the women's budget for fiscal year 1978. Washington said. She said that because their funding would be a blow to the program.
"If they don't fund us next year it will throw women's athletics at KU back several years," she said. "We're not just taking top of all our progress we make, top of any progress we make, next year."
The administration is trying to obtain more money for women's athletics from the state, Washington said, but if they are fortunate, it would only replace what they are losing.
The University will request $54,000 from the state to replace the Student Senate's funding, which covers salaries, equipment and operating expenses. In addition, they will increase existing support for additions to the staff and for other operating expenditures.
This request of $84,150 is for improvement of the base program. Washington said the department's operating budget this year was about $294,000, including $45,000 from the Williams Fund for scholarships. The request has been approved by the Board of Trustees and will be included in the University's budget requests for fiscal year 1979.

According to Darlene Hill, budget director, the valuations mark the beginning of the operations preparation 1978 budget and of the calculation of the 1979 levy to finance the budget. Whether taxes increase or decrease will depend on the size of the county county officials must approve by Aug. 15.
The county valuations are based on real estate and personal property assessments made by the county and corporation assessments made by the state.
The figures released yesterday by the county clerk's office show that total county assessments for 1977 were $171,512,004 as of the increase of $84,844,004 over 1976 assessments.
Hill said the county valuations might increase before taxes were figured in November because personal property was underwritten prorated and added to the 1977 valuations.
