Liquor battle
From page one
there is one liquor store for every 1,211 persons. Iowa has one liquor store for every 43 persons and liquor by the drink, but the liquor store in Kansas is slightly less than in Kansas, 2.97 gallons.
Missouri has liquor by the drink and almost three times as many liquor stores per capita as Kansas. Its per capita alcohol consumption is about 30 per cent more than
TAYLOR OFFERS HWE statistics that indicate Kansas' per capita alcohol consumption is 12.16 gallons a year, 16.22 gallons in the District and 4.76 gallons as a whole.
Rrehon said those statistics were meaningless.
what can we learn from them? The Washington, D.C., figures amount to 5.4 ounces of alcohol per capita each day. That means that every man, woman and child over 15 is a lush. It ignores tourists and outside employees.
Black education to be discussed in minority talk
"The Kansas figures mean that each person consumes 75 ounces per day. Then with these figures Kansas doesn't have any real competition is, you don't learn anything from them."
Gillespie became managing editor of Essence in November 1970 and editor in chief in May 1971. In 1974, she also was the executive director of directors of Essence Communications, Inc.
Marcia Ann Gillespie, editor in chief of Essence magazine, will discuss the "educational Dilemma of the Blacks in the Kansas University light in the Kansas Umpire's Forum Room.
Essence, which has a current circulation of $50,000, is the only magazine designed specifically for women.
Gillespie has said that she had wanted to be editor of Essence to destroy the false imagery that had been created against the black woman.
"I didn't want little back girls growing up as I had, thinking only white women were beautiful," she said. "I wanted them, through Essence, to see and feel what black women really are; beautiful, courageous and incredibly vital, blooming people."
Gillespie first was a researcher for Time-Life Books, where she worked on "An Illustrated History of Black America." She spent five years on an article on black history for Life magazine.
In 1974, *Enterprise Magazine* magazine garrisoned Gillett one of the most important publishers in the world.
Gillespie's lecture is the final event in the 1977 Cultural Enrichment Program sponsored by the KU Office of Minority Affairs. It is open to the public and is free of charge.
REHORN ALSO said Wyandotte County had more liquor stores per capita than Johnson County, yet from 1973 to 1975 there had more traffic deaths related to alcohol.
"There is no relationship between availability and human suffering. His injuries are too great, his lacerations are too simple, his fractures are too simplicial. You can't take complex human social problems and analyze them in that simplistic way. Nothing is proven with Taylor's knowledge."
"If his thesis is correct, he has to push to dry up the state, which he won't do."
Reburn said he was serious about his move to bring prohibition back to Kansas. If it passes, he said, it would mobilize enough people and officials to make it the necessary constitutional amendment.
Taylor realizes that, Rehorn said, so he calls himself a moderate, says Rehorn is his best. Taylor says he is a moderate.
MORE IMPORTANT, Rehorn said, legislators who now vote dry would find that their constituents don't support prohibition, and they want a rational discussion of Kansas liquor laws.
Although Taylor, a Methodist minister, is careful not to call liquor by the drink a moral issue, Rehorn said Taylor's efforts are "moralistic tvnanny."
"Some people know what is best for you, and they'll violate you to force that on you."
"Taylor comes out of the old school, the Carrie Nation school. If you drink, you're bad. He has an inability to assume any good will on the part of people who oppose him."
REHORN SAID he learned while in seminary that the worst attitude a minister could take was Taylor's, because it drove alcohols who needed help.
Rehorm said when Taylor referred to the fact that Rehorm was a former Methodist minister, he says, "Rehorm is a Methodist, but the church is with me, my mishap is with
"He is so involved in his moralistic trivia that he can't really understand what's going on."
But Rehon says, "I just make it clear the Church is wrong. The Methodist Church has total abstinence as a moral ideal, but notice it's not a mandate. Has the Methodist Church refused to accept social drinker? Has the Methodist Church ever refused the money of a social drinker?"
"So if the Methodist Church can make money off the social drinker, why can't the Church do it?"
"TAYLOR DOES not do, my church does not, what the state of Kansas does to help"
***
"I made the mistake of trying to be open with him, trying to establish a colleague relationship."
"I was trying to talk to him and I started out saying, 'OK, now, Dick, I'm divorced, right?' and he said, 'No, that's not right. You shouldn't be divorced.'
"The guy is a minister! I'm trying to lay open my gut to him, and he just wants me to eat."
liquid, I deal with the people. If he would love people more and preach at them less, he'd have to be very quiet.
"Taylor is the rudest, the most unmanned laborer in the state of Kansas.
"THE WILD MAN with you, which is his way of saying, 'I'm talking now, don't interrupt.'
"He has called senators on the floor of the Senate, telling them how to vote. He walks into people's offices and interrupts. He has been accused by one senator of walking in his office and Taylor opening up his notebook to look through his stuff.
"when I was testifying at the Federal and State Affairs Committee hearing, the Rev. Taylor was told that you gave me permission to speak. I just turned my head on him and said, 'Senator Reilly (R.Lewenworth and J.K. Dodd) gave me the Boot'." And Reilly appreciated it.
In another incident, Reharn said that Taylor who was testifying at a hearing, said he had been "sloppy" in
Rehorn said Taylor ignored the fact that two candidates had filled out Taylor's prelection questionnaire last fall in acceptance. The two candidates supported their onceptions until
he's considering not allowing him to tell you any more, because Taylor says the same every day and Ed (Reilly) has been told that he and he doesn't want to hear it any more.
"Reilly is so angry with him right now
"IF HE WERE HENE, he'd say, 'Here are two candidates who on this issue are equally qualified.' He printed that Bill Morris' (R-Sedwick) opponent was against liquor by the drink, but it was Morris' option. "And the primary, he screwed it up that badly."
"He's got some real swat, and he knows it and uses it. The people are who are afraid of him."
"A person can be concerned in every area, say, 'right' in every area, but, according to the Rev. Taylor he's for liquor by the drink. Taylor will cream him. That's the problem with one-issue people, they don't like you on that one issue and you're dead.
Race safety class offered
The annual Midwest Division Crash and Burn School, this weekend at the University of Kansas, will train car racing personnel in track safety.
The crash and burn school is a requirement for people who work at the corners of race car tracks during road races, according to Roger Williams, vice president of the Kansas division of the Soorts Car Club of America.

the course would be able to practice those techniques on different types of road racing cars, including one that will be set on fire. "Carmenging is the most exciting race."
"Corner working is the most exciting race activity, " Williams said.
The course, open to anyone interested in becoming a corner worker for road races, is being conducted by the Kansas division of the Sports Car Club of America, the KU department of firefighting, Division of Firemainttenance Training of the KU department of continuing education.

Better Days $4.00
Because there is no slot, most area stores don't include the $2 bill in their change banks when they start the day. So, unless you're planning to pay cash during the day, cashiers don't see them.
"Sometimes we go days without seeing one," Lila Switzer, cashier at the Kansas Union bookstore, said, "and when we do we have to keep from confusing it with other bills."
The lack of a slot for the $2 bill in cash requires that the bill be circulated in the Leveraged area.
$2 bills printed last April celebrate birthday alone
But confusion with other bills has
discouraged some other cashiers from
using the credit card.
Verna Shorton, head teller at the First National Bank of Lawrence, 900 Massachusetts, did not ruin the $2 bill for change because it was easily mistaken for a $5 or $20 bill.
PAT DURICK, assistant manager of K-Mart, 31st and 1st avenues, said that the store's cashiers didn't try to pass the bills because they were afraid to avoid confusion when they make change.
The reluctance of retailers to exchange $2 bills has been cited by U.S. government officials as a key factor in the bills' failure to circulate.
Of the approximately 415 million bills that were printed, about 222 million actually went into circulation and millions of the $2 bills were hoarded in bank vaults. The bank closed April 13 last year.
The purpose in reissuing the $2 bill was to replace some of the $1 bills in circulation. The government had also hoped, by reducing the number of bills printed annually, to save almost $7 million each year in printing costs.
BUT THE public has been slow to accept the bill.
Horton said that the First National Bank has had customers refuse to accept the bills. "They're practically non-existent as far as the public is concerned," she said.
Despite the public's reluctance tellers at Dougson County State Bank, 9th and Kennyville streets are encouraged by mennocky officials as possible. Deanna Dman, head teller, said that she thought the public resisted any change and that some Americans thought it would be a good idea.
However, since the U.S. Treasury Department has increased promotion of the bill and emphasized that it was to be a tax on corporate income, the bill for the bill have increased, she said.
