doesn't like the issue, and doesn't like a representative to make statements like
Q. YOU SAID ABOUT four months ago that you didn't think the marijuana bill would even get past the House . . .
Q. Well, you said that the new Democratic legislators would be too scared to vote against their constituency right away, and you didn't really think it would go through. Were you surprised that it got as far as it did?
A. No—after we got into the session, I began thinking that it would have a little better chance, especially when it got out of the office and had to make an amendment that cut down the liberalized aspect of the bill. I thought we had a really good chance because we picked up some more people and made a real vocal support. Once it got out of the House, I thought we were in good shape.
A. There's a lot of work to do, but I think there's a good chance of it.
Q. What do your fellow legislators think of you?
Q. NEXT YEAR?
A. I think it's good, positive, friendly.
Q. They're not generally embarrassed by you.
A. I don't think so. I think a lot of the members thought I had really been taken advantage of. I think a lot of them felt like the Republican farmer who came down to the mike and said, "The only mistake Mike made was that he was honest."
Q. WHAT IS your attitude toward the legislators. Do you feel they won't open an opportunity?
A. I get frustrated like anyone else that I'm not having enough influence. But when it's all said and done, I think I have as much influence as anyone else.
D. Do you still consider yourself a liberal in a relatively conservative state?
A. I think Kansas is a pretty reasonable state, in terms of our laws as they relate to people. I think Kansas is made up basically of conservative people who have a lot of compassion, for each other and their fellow man.
I think it is a state made up of people who are more concerned about the individual than the job (the legislators) have done a pretty crucial job of appropriating money for the needy. The legislature takes a pretty responsible job in what's necessary and what's needed.
Q. HOW DO YOU picture Kansas now?
A. I think Kansas is a lot more progressive than people want to give it credit for. I don't like certain laws in the
--state. I think the liquor and marijuana laws are crazy. I think there are a lot of small things that need addressing; the criminal system, the juvenile justice system, etc.
But Kansas is a lot more progressive than most states. I know states in the Union that haven't ratified the direct election of senators. Some states haven't ratified the income tax amendment—it's still law, but they've gotten around to ratifying it, and they're not on the list of those things, the first state to ratify a lot of these things, besides being one of the first states to ratify the equal rights amendment. We've got one of the best states in the Union when it comes to consumer protection legislation. I think we have all the areas where Kansas is considerably in the front of the Union, and I don't think we lag back in most of the other areas.
I HAVE A good feeling about the state, a good feeling about the people in the state. I don't like this recent baloney down in Wichita with Vern Miller and the porn films. I don't like that any more than anyone else does, but you're going to have problems like that whether you're in Oklahoma or Dallas, the deep South, Baltimore or Arizona, or a peculiar to Kansas at all. I think the state basically has got pretty fair-minded, considerate and conscientious people in it, and are represented by the same.
Q. So you think Vern Miller is going overboard with the porno raids?
A I THINK so. I think there's a certain limit to what is good taste, but who am I to admit to that, say that's not tasty or that is tasty and just say it's good for the Vern Miller is right in now Wichita to do what he's doing, for the simple reason that I thought the Supreme Court—the United States Supreme Court—language in that statute that we're using—was going a bit too far in deciding what's
16-foot boards taken from site
About 200 15-foot boards worth about $600 were taken from the new computer center construction site at Sunnyside Avenue and Illinois Street sometime last weekend
Bill Lyden, construction superintendent, said yesterday that the gates to the construction site were secured Friday after morning, and placed Monday morning, a west gate was open.
F police said the gates were secured by wire and the main gate was padlocked.
acceptable community standards and what isn't.
I think Vern's going overboard. I think that's what the people want down there. But I think the people are missing the point—that pornoism and all these issues of morality shouldn't be enforced through the criminal justice system. It's easy to go out and bust people with dirty films, but it's a different matter than busting people who are dealing in violence yourself. You're not going to get shot walking into the theater, so that's a lot easier and it gets you a lot more headlines and a lot more public acceptance.
Q. COULD YOU explain how you first decided to get into politics?
A. Well . people feel that they have certain skills that they can apply. Well, that's what I felt I had in terms of politics. So I just picked out an office and ran for it. When you were first elected, over four years you could picture yourself then and how do you think?
A. I think any time you come up here and get as much experience as I've gotten, we've going to pick up a working machine, and I'm going to until you get that working knowledge, to go be more frustrated. So I would say, at least for my first term, I was a pretty frustrated young man. I had a lot of ideas, a lot of things that I thought needed to be learned, but it went too slow. I still think the government use some streamlining. But I don't think the
A. I think it has, I think it's become a lot more receptive. There's a lot fewer people who have been around here for 10 to 15 years and are back in the upper third in terms of seniority.
Q. You're almost an old man.
Mary Broderson, 841 Maine St., was injured Monday night when the bicycle she was riding collided with a car at the intersection of Ninth and Marietown.
Night bike ride ends in collision
state's nearly as far behind me in what I'm thinking about as I thought years ago.
She was taken to Loyola Medical
Hospital where she was treated for
infection.
Pollice said Broderson was heading east on Ninth when her bicycle collided with a car driven by Robert Eisenhauer, Lawrence junior. Eisenhauer was headed west on Ninth, preparing to turn left onto Mississippi.
Police said both Eisenhauer and Broderson had green light signals when they intersect. Broderson's bicycle had no headlights or any other reflectors, they said.
Eisenhauer told police he didn't see Broderson until the impact.
A. I'm almost getting over the hill, right.
I'm going to be 38 in July. I will corrupted as
can.
Q. When you were first elected, what were your goals?
A. About the same as they are now. I've got a certain commitment to higher education, to KU, and to the teachers and public education. Certainly some concern about the drug laws, unemployment, the juvenile justice system itself, acting, people are treated, property taxes and how they are regressive toward the old.
Q. HAVE YOU reached some of the goals?
A. Some of them have been tentatively reached. I think the juvenile justice system requires a lot of patience and a big issue, and pretty much undecided. We did take the sales tax off prescription drugs, which helps the older folks, and we didn't do that for the children, so we'll help them and also help the families.
Q. What are your plans now? Do you plan on being in the state legislature all your life?
A. I wouldn't mind being a legislator for three or four more terms. I think that would be fine, as far as I'm concerned.
B. What the?
Q. What then?
A. What then? Well, I may just want to retire back into public practice as a lawyer. I am ambitious; I wouldn't mind moving up in the ranks of the leadership of the institution.

Ingle said that other stores in the Lawrence area were starting to carry veins.
She said that the University of Colorado was the best school for vegetarian enters.
Lenoir Ekdahl, director of food services for the university residence halls, said, "We should be doing more than we are doing because residents are demanding it more. I was amazed to see what other schools were doing for vegetarians."
"WE'RE NOT doing a lot, but we're working on recipes so we'll be able to do more by next week. Especially in some of the recipes, we want Hussering Hall is demanding it, the most."
The athletic training tables don't have any vegetarian accommodations but this could change if there is a demand, Paul Sinclair, table manager, said.
"THERE'S NO doubt that we could accommodate any type of menu that would be requested," he said. "There's plenty of meat that could be used instead of meat. We have a protein supplement that's highly nutritious. It's a powder that is just stirred into milk."
Mageri said that one problem that magna
is dealing with by vegetarians was a lack of
vitamin B12.
