maybe a little prayer helped Jackie Rinke, a sophomore at Lawrence High, in the early going, but it's help was lacking when the big payoff came. Rinke won two of the smaller bingo, but came up short on the big bingo, which netted the $23. The bingo games were at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 226 E. 23rd St.
Luck adds drama to bingo contests

Jimmy Carter's famous smile is no match for the grin displayed by bingo player Darrell Long as he looked at the check he had just won on number N45.
"This is unbelievable," he said, almost in a daze.
Long, 3029 Iowa St., looked at his wife and said, "Would you believe when I got home from work I wasn't even going to come—but she made me!"
"Now I won't be able to keep him away," his wife said, laughing.
During the 24 bingo games before Long's winning jackpot, the last game of the evening, the crowd **s** at long tables in the Knights of Columnus Hall, 2206 E. 23rd S., watching hei; cards, listening attentively to the caller.
WITH MANY of the people playing as many as 15 or 20 cards, the quiet was broken only occasionally by cries of "Bingo!" and by neighbors commenting to each other about their luck—or lack of it.
A lighted board at the front of the room showed what numbers had been called.
The caller, microphone in hand,sat
on a raised platform watching over the crowd, ready to direct workers to each game's winner.
From their pockets the workers drew wads of bills, peeling off ones, fives and tens to pay the winners.
Meanwhile, players cleared their game boards and took a breather, but quickly returned their attention to each new game.
As each number was called, the players' hands and eyes surveyed their boards, ready to close the red shutters that blocked out the called numbers.
ONE MAN, playing only a few cards, leaned back with his pipe and studied his cards. When one of his numbers was called, he leared forward calmly to close his mouth.
The snack bar did a booming business throughout the evening.
"People like to sip and munch and crush and smoke while they play." Gene Rinke, game manager, said.
Before long the basement room was filled with smoke as nervous players lit one cigarette after another.
"It's kind of a nervous thing."
"It does get kind of smokey in here,"

Two frats lose 30 parking spaces
By JOHN MUELLER
Members of two university of Kansas fraternities lost 30 parking spaces last night as a result of action by city commissioners, who changed an earlier decision to allow parking on the east side of Louisiana Street for a 90-day trial period.
Commissioners had promised the Louisiana Street parking spaces to the Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Sigma fraternities, located in the 1600 block of North Park Boulevard for the city's decision to remove 24 parking spaces from the Edgehill Road block.
The removal was urged by firemen, who said they wouldn't be able to fit one of their large trucks into the spaces at the Edgehill curb if a fire broke out.
THE LOUISIANA Street parking wouldn't have been part of an ordinance, but two weeks ago commissioners publicly and privately assured fraternity members that they could use the Louisiana spaces for 90 days, effective today.
Last night's action retained the parking space removal while taking away the additional spaces. Commissioners approved an ordinance that removes the Edgehill Road parking area without including any reference to Louisiana Street parking.
Commissioners said that Louisiana Street wasn't wide enough to accommodate parking on both sides. Commissioner Carl Anderson told him "I dumb idea" and, "a danger experiment."
Bayer said his fraternity members now had pothouses for their parking.
Jeb Bayer, president of Phil Delta Theta,
said early today that the city hadn't told
the governor to keep paying.
"The last thing I knew, we were going to get the Louisiana parking." Bayer said. "I don't want to walk three blocks—hell if I know what we're going to do."
THE FRERATNITY'S corporation board had recently considered building a parking lot for the headquarters.
"It's not feasible." Bayer said. "The
Phi Kappa Sigma leaders weren't available for comment this morning.
architects said it would cost $6,000 to $7,000 a space."
Several persons who live on Louisiana Street said last night that the street was already unsafe because of its narness and would get worse in winter.
George Wedge, associate professor of English, 1644 Louisiana St., said, "You're doubling your jeopardy in the number of jobs if you have parking on both sides."
IN OTHER BUSINESS, commissioners voted 3-2 to revise a Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the Alvamar area between West 15th and 23rd streets, west of Kasold Drive. Commissioners Donald Binns and Marine Argeringer opposed the
change, which allows Alvarnar developers to put 14 single-family lots and open space buildings.
The 2-3 vote isn't final, however. If opponents of the change get five more signatures on a petition against it by this afternoon, state law requires commissioners to approve the change by a 4-1 margin for it to pass.
The law says that PUID changes protested by 40 per cent of the people living in a PUD in the area where the protest took place.
Sam Dixon, 2002 Camelback Drive, said last night that he and other Alvamar residents opposed to the change needed only to change signatures to have the necessary 40 per cent.
BUFORD WATSON, city manager, said that petitions bearing the signatures had to
be delivered to city offices by this afternoon. The deadline is today because it has been two weeks since the Lawrence-environment commission unanimously recommended the change.
Dixon said he objected to the PUD changes because they would cause more traffic in the Alvynm area and would present residents' view of the golf course.
Dixon and other opponents of the change also said they had been misled by Alvaram Inc., which they said had promised them an $10 million golf course in the company's brochures.
Commissioners postponed action on a request from Four Seasons Corp. to rezone 42.9 acres of land at the southwest and northwest corners.

Bennett analyzes GOP's showing
By MICHAEL KING
Gov. Robert Bennett said yesterday he believed the Republicans would eventually regain the seats in the Kansas House of Representatives lost to Democrats in the recent election.
Speaking to about 75 people at the University of Kansas law school, Bennett blamed Republicans who took the fact that Kansas was a Republican state for granted and didn't do the necessary work to win elections.
BENNETT, WHOSE appearance was sponsored by the Student Star Association, a national student group.
In many cases, he said, the Democratic candidates were better qualified than the Republican candidates and also better organized.
The retirement of some Republicans also had an effect on the elections, Bennett said. The candidates who ran for those seats were known as the retiring members, he said.
against "a rather bleak fiscal backdrop" that affect both Democrats and Republicans.
He said that he didn't know how the higher education budget would fare this year, but that it would probably have to be restricted to an increase of no more than five per cent. This budget limitation will likely jeopardize all new programs, he added.
Bennett said that the state could no longer afford costly duplication of educational programs, so he started prioritizing these programs. The possibility was being explored, he continued, "of trading some things with our neighbors," and the way we're already doing with dentistry.
Bennett has recommended that the death
penalty be reimposed for certain crimes
BENNETT ALSO discussed the death penalty and a proposed medium security prison.
"We've asked that it be reimposed
through a trial that consists of two phases," he said.
The first phase would merely determine guilt, and the second would set the penalty.
The state is badly in need of a new medium security prison and of renovation projects.
"Some want new no jails. They want to put the criminals back into the home court."
"OTHERS WANT a small cell where we pipe them in air and soap once a day."

The cost of the proposed facility is projected at $12 million and the statewide prison renovation program is estimated at $20 million.
Markley's cider a homemade job
The leadership of President Gerald Ford, Bennett said, has been a boon to the Republican party after the Nixon era. And it will be good for the Republican party, he added.
"After all, the Democrats were only able to close ranks because they'd been out of power for eight years and they'd lost all that patronage."

When you buy homemade cider from J.E.
Markley, you don't just buy cider. You also
get to meet one of the few men who still
make their own.
As Markley walks past his shed to where he keeps his cinder press, he hobbles slowly with the help of his cane; a short, smoothly rounded Mary. Markley became 86 years old in August.
"I've got a bucket to grind," he says, not wasting any words.
The press -bought for $5- stands amid piles of stacked firewood. Overload, ripe orange persimmons hang from a tree striped of its leaves.
"I CAN'T work as much as I used to," he says.
Some of the small apples in the bucket are starting to rot. He says the apples he uses aren't good enough to be sold as eating apples. They all come from his two dozen
The press vibrates and chatters as he slowly turns the crank. A revolving wooden drum, studded with metal teeth, catches the apples at the bottom of the hopper and

paluperizes them when they are forced through a small opening.
THE SMALL BUTS of apple pile into a
thick dough with burlap. They give
a sweet sushi.
By the time he peeks over the top of the basket to find all the apples gone, Markley is one step ahead.
He moves the bucket to the other end of the press and places it under a round wooden plate, which has the same diameter as the base. The bucket is at the end of a yard-long turncrew.
"I just can't do it any more," he says.
"I've got too many years on me."
REFUSING ANY help, Markley slowly turns the screw. The plate pushes into the bucket against the pile of apple bits. With every turn, juice runs down the trough to fill it, until the water is set on the ground. He makes the last turn of the screw with the leverage of a stick.
As he works, Markley talks about his life. He says he has lived in Douglas County all his life, except when he went out to Colorado in 1910 and staked a claim for a few years.
KU team leaves for Pole

His grandparents settled on a farm, Lone Star Lake in 1864 after coming from Ohio. He had a farm out there once but sold it to the 20 years ago and moved to Lawrence.
The South Pole might hold the key to solving the problem of nuclear waste disposal, according to a University of Kansas professor.
Edward Zeller, professor of geology, physics and astronomy, is leaving with a team of researchers tomorrow to investigate that possibility.
However, that is only part of the team's purpose in going there. Zeller said yesterday that the National Science General Mineral Resources survey to determine what minerals were locked beneath the ice-covered surface.
Student's classes won't be affected.
Most city businesses and offices,
necessary post offices, will be open.
Banks and county offices will be
closed.
Offices close Veterans Day
University offices, with the exception of those in the Kansas Union and the Office of Admissions and Records, will be closed tomorrow because classified state employees have Veterans Day off.
The risk of widespread contamination is too great, Zeller said, because the water picks up radiation and circulates, carrying radioactive material away from the original storage container.
THE TWO-AND-AHALF month expedition will take them to the mountainous regions of Victoriaialland, near the Reiss Ice Shelf. With him on the trip will be Kent Crisler, Wellington junior, Franz Tesserson, a member of the German federal archdiocese and Oracle Debrah Scharf, research associate at the KU Space Technology Center and the first woman from KU to make a trip to Antarctica.
"We're looking for Uranium, of course, but also for gas and coal," Zeller said.
Although it's only a small part of the reason for the trip, Keller said, he and Dreschoff will explore the possibility of moving from its glacier into the sides of exposed mountain peaks.
Other reasons Zeller cited for his proposal to bury the waste were the small problem of a broken roof.
ORIGINALLY, they proposed burying the waste under the ice cap, where it would melt down through the ice until it reached solid rock. That plan was abandoned when it was discovered that some areas contained liquid water at the rock level.
The team will live in tests during its stay. The survey will be taken with sophisticated equipment carried either on backpacks or a board helicopter flown by Crasler.
size of the United States and Canada; the annual yearly temperature of minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit; and the lack of animal or plant life.
Apparently the U.S. government approves of Zeller's idea because it is included in a broad-scale report of nuclear waste disposal alternatives that includes shooting the waste into the sun. That plan, Zeller said, would cost about $10,000 a kilogram, but his would cost $-$40 a kilogram. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
ZELLER, WHO said he liked cold weather, will leave with his team and equipment at 3 p.m. from Nichols Hall. They will travel to New Zealand, then to the McMurdo Station in Antarctica. From there, they will set up bases, some as large as 10 feet by 10 feet, for McMurdo, maintaining communication with the outside world at all times.
The expedition is being financed by a $250,000 grant from NSF, $93,000 of which is being used solely for equipment. Zeller said that this was the first time the expedition had gone into the field and that it would be financed for at least three years.
"It looks as though this is a long-term project," Zeller said. "Maybe for the next
Whatever the team finds, it must be there in large quantities, he said. Because Antarctica is considered international territory, some kind of international agreement would have to be made on the use of those resources found.

Although the appearance of his guarded hands allow his age, his eyes are still clear. He looks very young.
Cider and a smile
By now, Markley has forced the last drop of juice from the broken apples. He undoes the screw, picks up the bucket and dumps the remains in a wheelbarrow already full of apple remains. To fill his customer's empty jug with cider with it, he puts the juice into the butt, but to strain out bits of pulp all in the cider. He fills the out汁 until it overflows.
A perennial fixture in North Lawrence, J. E. Marley is one of the last men in the area to make his own ankle cider. Marley is 85 years old and lives alone.
ABOUT A BUSHEL of apples are needed,
he says, to make one gallon of sweet cider.
Hard cider is made when it's left to ferment.
He uses a blend of apples, and several varieties,
so the taste won't change from batch to batch.
Markley learned how to make cider as a child when his parents would make three barrels of it to last each winter. He says his mother and grandmother, and oranges to keep it from fermenting.
MARKLEY DOESN'T *tell* all cider, but vegetables or fruit as well, when they're in season.
Markley says he doesn't know of anyone else who sells homemade cider. He sells it for a $1 gallon—less than half the price of a bottle, and that's different because of preservatives, he says.

Rich, river-depended soil in North

hearts.
"I've got the best corn that ever grew!"
"Sometimes he thinks the soil is too good,
he says, because the apple trees grow so
they need more sunlight to get to the treets to pick or to spray."
But, despite the difficulties, Markley says he doesn't want to stop working.
"I won't go on relief. I'll work as long as I can. I figure I'm here today, and if I'm here tomorrow, I'll do my work. If not, I just won't be here."
Before his visitors leave, he accepts their help in pushing the wheelbarrow full of apple remains out to the garden where he uses them for fertilizer. He himself couldn't push the wheelbarrow and walk at the same time, but had to pit it between steps.

After depositing the remains, Markley
visits the visitors and hobbles back to his
small train.
