Glover comments on self, politics, Kansas
By JOE RADCLIFFE
Staff Reporter
State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, sat in his office Monday on the second floor of the building when a cold hamburger and occasionally stirred a Strydoam cup of vegetable soup.
His office once was in a secluded wing on the first floor of the capitol. As a sign of political status, it has been moved to the second floor—one floor closer to the highest ranking offices near the House chamber on the third floor.
The events that led to Glover's second floor office began in 1698 when he was 22 and running for the office of state representative from Lawrence.
VIETNAM was staring him in the face. Glover said in an interview last December, and state representatives couldn't be drafted.
"It looks as if I was just dudging him," he said, "but I lost the election anyway."
Glover went to his draft board the day after the 1970 election and announced that he would be a Republican.
"The sooner I went, the sooner I could get back and run again," he said.
Within several months, Glover was in the army. He hopped around to different bases in and around the United States. Then he returned to Lawrence to run for state representative in a new district that had been created by the 18-year-old vote. Glover was elected on the 25th. Glover was elected at the age of 25.
HE DESCRIBES himself in his early days as "one of those typical naive liberals, thinking that I could walk in with a great speech and change the world."
Although Glover's political life was looking up, his personal life was deteriorating. When he returned home from college, he said, his family was falling apart.
His parents were getting a divorce. His mother was told that she had a terminal illness.
Then Glover married, and a year later the couple divorced.
"I GUESS I came back from the service
*I* needed a family to come home to," he said.
"But I don't know where to go."
His mother died about a year ago, on his father's birthday.
"I got married out of need, which I guess is not a very good basis for a marriage."
Before the 1974 campaign, Glover met his second wife, Bonnie, and his life began to get more stable. They married soon after his reelection. Now Glover is a law student at Washburn University and his wife is expecting their first child.
WITH MORE than four years in the legislature behind him, Glover contemplated this year's session, which is expected to be turbulent 90 days for the representative.
Glover's problems began with a Kansas City Star story by Ray Morgan about Glover's use of marjuana and a dealer who made $25,000 a year.
What followed was criticism by the legislature, a formal apology by Glover on the floor of the House, subpoenas and a closed-court inquisition.
Glover's bill for decriminalization of manjura juvenile has been narrowly passed by the Senate.
GLOVER INTERRUPTED his lunch to talk about the marijuana bill, politics. Kansas and his present, past and future life. Pink the star article hurt the marijuana bill?
A. I think it did, simply because I had to take a real low profile over in the Senate in order to keep the Senate thinking about the marijuana bill and not about me. And I was ready for that. But the Senate has been able to if I wasn't worried about the peripheral issue of Mike Glow. But this was also the first time the Senate had seen a marijuana bill. The House has had it three times, and passed it on the third time. I had to believe another reason—inexperienced senators.
Q. THEY WEREEN ready to rush into anything new?
A. Well, they never had any opportunity to really talk about it.

FORBIDDEN GAMES (1952)
A. No, I don't think so. The thing about the article that I think was bad, was the cavalier attitude it projected of me, making it seem like a self-serving bill and making it seem as if I didn't care whether they passed it or not—I was going to live my own life, free of the encumbrances of the law. I don't think Ray Morgan tried to portray that man out that way, i.e., don't think Ray Morgan tried to abasage me or the bill.
2. And the article didn't help much.

BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS (1976)
A. Favor to Morgan. He came to me quick, after the bill had passed, and said he wanted to do a favorable story on me and marijuana, showing a constructive young guy, hard-working, dedicated. It was all legit. I think if you go back and read the article from an objective point of view, he would have been right, but right guy. He said I'm a respected liberal, hard-working, dapper—all the adjectives were good.
A. Yeah, I think he was.
Sure, there were a few discrepancies in the article. They ended up being in the same paragraph that mentioned the $25,000-a-year dealer. But those were fairly minor discrepancies, and they were important, in that they were in that paragraph that the attorney general was interested in.

A lot of people have come up to me and said, "Ray Morgan is a schmuck, and you should never have done that." But I've been along with Ray Morgan really well.
A. I think a politician has an obligation to be A. truthful. That doesn't mean you have to tell as much of the story as I have told. I could've been just as truthful with Ray Burr. So I don't need the $2,000 dealer. So I guess the question really is: Do you tell the whole truth all the time to everybody? I think you have to be careful. You have to use some discretion.
Q. YOU SEEM TO talk as openly with reporters as you would with your best friend. Do you think a politician should be like that or that a problem with you?

A. I just should have been a little more thoughtful on that particular article. But, in general, I don't think I'm guilty of not using enough discretion.
A. Well, not really. Most of the people in my district knew about my personal use of computers.
Q. The fact that you're pretty open—

The application, made to Republic Group Insurance Company of Dallas, was termed by Watson as for "a timely kind of insurance."
In other business, the commission agreed to submit an application for up to $1 million coverage in public official liability insurance for certain city employees.
THE ANNUAL premium of $2,500 would cover liability suits above $3,500.
