Cockfighting
From page one
"THE GAMECOCK" carries advertisements from cook breeders and shippers from many states where cocktails are made. It contains advertisements for cock vitamins, sparring muffs so men can let their rooster cocks practice, cockfighting T-shirts and belts. It also carries ads for gafs with such products as "The Hook" and "One Star Jaenger".
An article in the January 1977 issue told of a man who was married and had children, a frequent visitor to his family. His life was lived, however, when he discovered cockfishing—because he stayed home to care for his roosters. And the whole family enjoyed watching the birds.
ANN GONNERMAN, president of the Kansas Federation of Humane Societies, said she wished cocktailwing was common among the Kansas Cruelty to Animals status.
She said area cockfighters and spectators weren't "just a bunch of farmers," but "they are men."
Gonnerman said she had never been to a cocktail but wanted to attend one.
"TD LIKE to see how they do it," she said. "It's hard for a Humane Society person to attend it. They don't want us to hurt them." She then asked then, why would we not be welcome?
Gonnerman said she didn't think it was necessary to fight to under derby championship.
"in their natural territory, they don't
like me," she said. "You don't put
fighting in the way you do."
FIGHTING COCKS are raised only for food, because they aren't used for food or as meat.
The problems with Kansas' cruelty statute, Gonnerman said, is that is says "animals," and a court has ruled that a cock is a fowl. not an animal.
A case tried in 1973 in the Kansas Supreme Court (State of Kansas, ex rel. Vern Miller, Attorney General of Kansas, vs. Vernon D. Clalbone) ruled that the cruelty to animals statute didn't apply to cocks.
JUSTICE J. Fontron wrote the case's
opinion. He said, "First of all we harbor the opinion that in the common everyday experience of mankind, chickens are sediment thought of animals; rather they are birds
... We tend to agree with the two professors who testified, one from Kansas State University, the other from Oklahoma State, that persons of common intelligence would consider a chicken a bird, not a hair-bearing animal."
Fonton's opinion also cited Encyclopedia Britannica for historical information that the sport had been popular since ancient times. China, India, Persia and anywhere.
HE ALSO wrote, "At an early date in American history cockfighting made its debut in this virgin land, and it is recorded that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were devotees of the sport."
Fontron wrote that he was surprised to
Delivery man beaten, robbed at Towers
A deliveryman for the Hole-in-the-Wall Delicatessen and Sandwich Shop, 846 Illinois St., was beaten and robbed Monday afternoon by two men from Jawahar Tower, Lawrence police said.
The employee, Douglas Bowman, Laredn junior, reported to police Monday night that he was kicked and beaten by two black men. He also took approximately $75 he was carrying.
He was allegedly attacked as he was returning to his vehicle after delivering an attacker.
Two men, whom he said he had seen earlier between C and D towers, came up behind him and began kicking and hitting him.
As he was allegedly being beaten Bowman said, he kept yelling, "The money's in here," pointing to his back pocket.
He said the men dragged him to his knees, kicked him in the stomach and told him to
After taking his money, he said they walked him to W. 15th Street and one of them told him "Run and don't look back or I'll shoot you."
Police said they have no suspects in the case.

An evaluation of the curriculum and instruction survey will be discussed at the KU American Association of University Professors (AAUP) chapter meeting at 7:30 tomorrow night at the Forum Room in the Kansas Union.
The survey, also called Feedback, is used to evaluate the teaching competence of faculty members. The results of the survey are a factor in administrative decisions concerning merit salary, increases, tenure and retention of faculty members.

Dennis Dalley, chairman of the AAPU Committee on the Analysis and Improvement of Instruction, will present the committee's evaluation of Feedback at the meeting. An open discussion will follow his report.

"It leads to some control of the activity," he said. "The bad thing about fighting cockroaches is that they get into your home."
The committee recommends that the university, not individual faculty members, establish a course evaluation period in which all students would evaluate all their instructors to obtain a representative average rating.
The report says that although the survey is mandatory, it isn't uniformly administered. Few members who would like to rate adults are most likely to use the survey, it says.
Although he said he didn't have rooters anymore, he still occasionally went to the store.
Therefore, professors who might not receive high ratings but who must submit the results of the survey for promotion and promotion to higher level students. High average level of student satisfaction.

"I can't make any comment on how much money is gambled," he said.
He said he didn't know about cockfight gambling, but added, "They gamble everywhere else, like at KU football games."

PLAIN TALK FROM ARMCO ON FINDING A JOB:
How hiring you can cost somebody $42,168
Whatever America's unemployment rate, 89,000 of us now hold jobs. That won't mean much when you look for a job, yourself. You'll have tough competition. You're among 18,000,000 more Americans looking for work over the next ten years. That's how many Americans must create, include yours.
It's going to cost a lot of money. Before you give a dime of salary, who hires you will have to buy tools, office space, factory equipment and buildings—the things it takes you to work on. The cost of companies is now $42,108 for each job.
We don't mean you can't be hired until your employer finds exactly $42,168. You might walk into an existing job. But don't count on it. Not with 18,000 competitors, some companies can hire you for less than $42,168. But others here are willing to pay a much more. At Armco, our cost is $59,600 a job.
That money must come from whatever a company has left over after expenses. In other words, from profits. A company might borrow against future profits to make up for lost or stolen jobs because that's the only source companies have.
the only source compared to your friend. If you asked your friends how much the average U.S. company clears in profits on each dollar of sales, chances are many of them would guess 25% or more. The truth is 5% or less. That's not much to put to work to make new jobs.

Plain talk about PROFITS
Over our company's 77-year history, Armco has averaged $5 profit on each dollar of sales. We pay out part of our earnings immediately in dividends to the stockholders. So out of each nickel, we have perhaps 5 left to invest in new jobs.
Building $55,600 jobs—3e at a time—is tough. At this rate, we must sell another $1,850,000 worth of products and services to clear enough money for a single new job. That's why better profits are important. They help businesses hire jobs. The Government's money comes from taxes on all of us who work.
