TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-ball-turned-abortion-l legislation raged into the night yesterday in the House before it passed. The bill watered-down version of the bill. A final vote is scheduled for today.
Med Center bill
Cries of legislative rules violations erupted in the House yesterday when the bill came to the floor.
The House Transportation Committee substituted a parental notification bill for a Senate bill that would have dealt with the use of vehicle registration fees by county treasurers. The abortion bill, introduced by State Rep. Artie Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.
Lucas, vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, and committee chairman State Rep Rex Crowell, R-Longton, used the committee to get the abortion bill to the floor. Twelve co-sponsors of the abortion legislation hold seats on the committee.
Lucas said the committee process was flawed because there was

Students headed for the beaches at Daytona or the slopes of Colorado should be aware of potential dangers to the skin, said a University of Kansas Medical Center dermatologist.
Thelda Kestenbaum, assistant professor of medicine at the Med Center, said the skin should be protected from long exposure to heat or cold.

is not a way to prepare the skin other than protecting it when you are out."
"Snow as well as water reflects the sunlight and will cause burning," she said. "Overexposure could result in wrinkling, aging of the skin or cancer."
Kestenbaum said sunburn was a danger whether the students were going to the beach or to the slopes.
Kestenbaum said most people did not realize what the sun protection factor (SPF) on sunscreen labels represented. The number on sunscreens indicates how long it will take for a person's skin to begin

on the sunscreen.
“If a person theoretically started to burn after one minute of exposure, a No. 15 sunscreen would prevent the burning for 15 minutes,” Kestenbaum said. “A 30 sunscreen would protect for about 30 minutes. But these sunscreens do not protect forever. No matter how much you reapply the sunscreen, some rays are going to get through.”

"There is not much difference between cheap sunscreens and more expensive brands. Consumer Reports found that one brand of 15 SPF sunscreen would provide as much protection as any other 15 SPF sunscreen.

Leaders hope move will quell opponents
President, Senate OK air bill
The Associated Press
The agreement, after more than three weeks of closed-door negotiations, was viewed as a middle ground likely to attract enough support to thwart continuing regional opposition in the looming Senate debate.
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and electric power plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
Porter said the administration would attempt to expedite Senate passage and seek a similar agreement in the House, where clean-air legislation remains in committee.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the president's chief domestic policy adviser.
But the compromise still is likely to encounter stiff industry lobbying, largely because of its estimated $20 billion to $40 billion annual cost to the economy.
Some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining weakened provisions in the original Senate bill that would have required stronger automobile emission controls to combat urban smog. Other have voiced continued concern about his impact of acid rain controls.
