Carlin says compromise needed in school finance
By DEENA KERBOW
Staff Renorter
Speaker of the House John Carlin, D-Smolan, told a group of KU Young Democrats last night that if the school finance bill didn't reach a compromise in the Senate-House conference committee, the Kansas Legislature would have trouble passing passage of Board of Regents appropriations bills and the civil service bill.
"They better come to some compromise because if nothing comes out, we have a lot of problems," he said. "If there's no room for us, that's the lot of trouble passing everyone else."
Carlin said that if the school finance bill reached no final action this session, the team would need to change its strategy.

per cent increase in teachers' salaries.
However, he said civil service and
regements appropriations bills had allowed
their use to be included in the law.
CARLIN SAID, though, that he didn't for many line-m-item vetoes in higher editions.
"I WOULD LIKE to resolve school finance quickly, and that can go quickly."
Carlin also said the KU Medical Center's separate bill for family practice units in small Kansas communities would be funded by a conference committee tomorrow morning.
He said, "We set some different princepillars than the governor, but the total amount of money we spend is more."

"Being from Salma," he said, "I will make every effort to get that bill passed."
Carlin said that he expected appropriations bills for the Regents institutions to pass easily but that he thought the Senate would use his line-term veto on the bills.
"if we back off now, there will be a lot of pressure," he said. "I think that kind of pressure is, in the end, to go resolve school finance.
The Kansas Constitution provides that the governor may veto individual items in an

Carlin said that over all, he was pleased with the progress of the legislature's first session, even though many had called it a do-noting legislature.
However, Carlin didn't display such pleasure about Bennett.
"1 THINK THE papers and polls generally agree that the governor is not ready to take action."
"My reaction to that is that it is not necessarily bad," he said. "You don't have to come up with a lot of jazzy headlines to make it feel like you have and have had a successful session."
He said he looked at the legislature's work as part of a two-year session, not as one-year sessions. Much good work has been added in the first year of this session, he said.
Legislators to revise liquor tax bill today
Legislators tomorrow will introduce a new liquor tax in an effort to replace one they passed in last-minute action of the first quarter. They also distributed many wine distillers, out of the state.
The original bill would have required manufacturers or distributors of each brand label of alcoholic beverage sold in the state registered with the state for $500 a label.
STEVE MILLSTEIN, aide to State Rep. Patrick Hurley, D-Leaventown and House majority leader, said last night that complaints from local consumers, retailers, wholesalers and out-of-state breweries and distilleries have been raised by legislators to revise the liquor tax bill.
Legislators had estimated that the original bill would generate $800,000 annually to be used for community alcoholism and intoxication programs.
However, distributors had said that many wine companies that manufactured from 15 to 30 brand labels wouldn't be able to afford to post in Kansas if that bill became law.
State Rep. John Carlin, D-Smolan and speaker of the House, said last night, "There will be a bill introduced Wednesday that will make a change. There is no question that we'll have to back off from the $500 brand label tax."
—To charge for each size bottle of liquor, rather than for each brand label. This would require $200 for distilled liquor bottle sizes and $100 for wine bottle sizes. Millstein said that if the Senate were to concur with any of these variations, it probably would be with this one.
MILLSTEEK SAID that Carlin, Hurley State Sen. Jim Parrish, D-Topeka, and Arden Emsley, revisor of statutes, had met with the governor to argue that would allow the state to make its $80,000 but also would encourage wine distributors to continue posting in Kansas.
The four versions are as follows:
-TO COMBINE THE first two versions,
adding a 15 cent increase to the gallonage
to tax on distilled liquors plus $100 charge for
the wine bottles and sizes and a $4 charge
for wine bottle sizes.
—To replace brand label charges with a 25% discount in the gallon tax on distillate spirits.
—To add a gallonage tax of 1.5 cents to ceral malt beer (3.2 milk). Millstein said that each penny of this gallonage tax would be the state about one-half of a million dollars.
Milstein said a decision would be made today about which version would be released.

Outspoken Dean
John Dean, conspirator in the Watergate cover-up and former counsel to President Richard Nixon, spoke on his White House experiences yesterday in Washburn University's White Concert Hall. Dean, who succeeded John Ehrlichman as Nixon's personal counsel, said his office became an important center for carrying messages, some of which he didn't want to hear, such as "People arrested in Democratic Headquarters want money to remain silent." Dean admits to wrongdoing, but says he never lied.
Student code to encompass amendment
By LINDA STEWART Staff Reporter
The subcommittee reviewed the amendment after Mike Davis, University general counsel, asked the Senate to try to bring the code more in line with the amendment.
The Buckley Amendment concerning the privacy rights of parents and students probably will be adopted into the Student Code with a few exceptions, a subcommittee of the Student Senate Rights, Privileges and Abilities Committee decided last night.
The Student Code and the amendment conflict in several areas, including
Regigie Robinson, committee chairman,
saw the accessibility of a student's records
WHETHER PARENTS of students who aren't financially independent should be allowed access to the student's records was debated by the subcommittee.
Another member, however, said he thought parents who were supporting a student should be allowed to see the student's records.
THE PRESENT STUDENT Code of Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct states that only parents of students who are under 18 years old must be dependent students or over 18 aren't included.
The Buckley Amendment states, however, that parents of dependent children are permitted.
The present University policy has been in compliance with the Student Code and dependent student's records haven't been released to parents.
Although one subcommittee member said that he thought dependent student's records should be released to parents requesting them the subcommittee will present a recommendation in favor of not releasing records to the full committee Wednesday night.
ANOTHER AREA of the amendment debated by the committee was that of directory information. The amendment allows for information to be released over the computer. The Student Code allows certain information to be released only in person or by mail.
The information that the code states can't be released over the phone are students' passwords.
One member said that directory information already doesn't comply with the code because it releases phone numbers over the phone.
The subcommittee decided to adopt the amendment regulations for directory assistance information, with the exception of giving out students' names. So even

Anxiety harries victims of crime
Note: This is the second of three articles on crime in Lawrence. It deals with the victims of crime.

By CHUCK WILSON Staff Reporter
Dou Bowyan, Larned junior, became a 1975 statistic when he was attacked and robbed the second week of March. He became the victim of a violent crime.
Bowman, a deliveryman for Hole-in-the-Wall Delicatessen and Sandwich Shop. #46 Illinois St., was attacked by two men as he returned to his truck after delivering an order in the Jayhawk Towers.
"I WAS AFRAID they might kill me—afraid I might catch a knife in the ribs." Bowman said.
The two men kicked and beat Bowman to the ground and then dragged him back to his feet. After taking the $7 he was able to run and start to start running and not to look back.
BECAUSE THE MEN attacked from behind and because he lost his glasses, Bowman said, he had only a vague impression of what looked like the men haven't been caught.
Bowman said there was no doubt in his mind that the two men were trying to intimidate him.
He wasn't able to eat for a day or so afterward because of a sore law.
From time to time afterward, he said,
he thought he recognized his assaults in
bars and other places around town.
Several days after a violent incident the victim initially feels vulnerable, has trouble eating and sleeping and is preoccupied with the crime.
This symptom of recognition is one of three phases through which the victim of a violent crime goes, according to Kathy Sweeney, a spokeswoman for County Rape Victim Support Service.
incident is over and that he no longer has to fear it.
Finally, the victim feels renewed anxiety about the incident; he thinks he recognizes his assailant in crowds. This phase ordinarily doesn't last long.
THE VICTIM THEN realizes that the
Not all victims will go through the full three phases. Hoggard said.
Hoggard, who deals primarily with rape victims, said that one of the largest problems was that victims often didn't recall their attacker's facial features.

Rape victims can call the KU Information Center, 864-3506, or Headquarters Inc., 1602 Massachusetts St., 814-2343, to know the name and phone number of one of 10 rape counselors who are ready to help.
THE SUPPORT SERVICE, which has been in Lawrence since 1972, tries to help rape victims and answer their questions. Heard said.
Often, they think they don't know what the man looks like but they do, she said.
Hoggard said that even though the service advised victims to go to the police, they weren't forced to do so.
"Sometimes, if the victim agrees, we do make anonymous reports to the police," she said.
ONCE A VIOLET crime is reported to Police the police it becomes a crime against the state, Mike Malone, Douglas County has been convicted that he becomes merely a witness for the state.
"There is no formal restitution program in this state other than what the county attorney may initiate," Malone said. "I believe a victim can be ruined financially by a particular crime. It's a matter in which the victim is the real loser."
The county attorney can request that before plea bargaining be considered restitution must be made to the victim, but no Kansas laws exist concerning
If there has been any monetary loss, there is no sure way of recovering it, be said.
IF THE VICTIM of a crime is injured,
he must pay his own medical bills.
The only help he is likely to receive is from
his insurance company.
Malone said a victim could sue his attacker if the person was caught, but even that action had its drawbacks.
"You can sue the person, the person is probably judgment proof—the has no money-so it doesn't do any good," he said.
Tomorrow: area jails.

John Dean remembers his role in Watergate
Bv DEENA KERBOW
Dean, who now writes for Rolling Stone magazine, told an audience in Washburn University's White Concert Hall that because of his experience as presidential candidate, the police politicians wouldn't be able to pull the wool over his eyes in his new reporting job.
told of his initiation six years ago into White House politics for the media, when he was one of three presidential office one night, placed a stack of budget books in front of him and said, "You and I are going to be discussing politics with the college newspaper editors come in."
Dean said Nixon looked surprised when the young editors entered. Nixon told the students that even young people like themselves and John Dean had a say in the government. He then told Dean to explain the budget to the students.
The memo was Nixon's way of indirectly
Dean said, "I had never seen a budget before this morning, and I just managed to repeat in my own words what he had already said."
Dean said those early days in the White House helped him change his way of thinking to a point that allowed him to aid the Waterate cover-up.
Dean said his first assignment as the president's counsel came in the form of a "red tag, eyes only," confidential memorandum. He soon learned that "red tag" meant a priority item, but never maintained that "eyes only" officially made
"The only crime I know that I ever involved myself in was a conspiracy to obstruct justice—to cover up what happened," he said. "Perhaps it was the type of thinking I developed very early in going to the White House that got me into it."
telling Dean that then Vice President Spiro Agnew had been labeled by a magazine, he said, and that Nixon wanted retribution, through the Internal Revenue Services.
Dean said he was uneasy about taking such action at the time and even thought it might be illegal. He discussed the situation with a White House confident, who told Dean, "If you don't do it, the President will find somebody who will do it."
Dean said, "At that point, I crossed an ethical line."
Dean said he later witnessed many incidents that he questioned, "like mugging squads, bugging squads and teams of prostitutes that I didn't think were ethical for various reasons, although Liddy assured me that prostitutes were the finest in the country.
"I told myself, 'Well, I like my job, and,
John, you really didn't do the dirty work.'
I was not happy.
Dean said that after the break-in, his office became an important place for carrying messages, some of which he would have preferred not to have heard—"People arrested in Democratic Headquarters want money to remain silent."
"I had been at the edge of the real inner circle for a long time," he said, "and suddenly was becoming one of those in the inner circle."
Dean said he became impressed with his position and authority.
"I found my soaring in power, and I got blinded by my ambition," he said. "I stopped looking at the implications. I just keptlooking up and looking in."
However, during all the times of feeling important and carrying confidential messages, Dean said, he never lied, he never did. He was one part of his duanity he could retain.
"I made it known in the White House that I would tell the truth about it," he said. And that was a rather unpleasant experience, which makes to be the switch, the whistle blower."
