VOL.100,NO.105 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ADVERTISING: 864-4358 FRIDAY, MAR. 2, 1990 (USPS 650-640) Pared-down abortion bill awaits vote By Rod Griffin NEWS: 864-4810 Kansan staff writer TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-ballot-turned-abortion legislation raged in the night yesterday in the House before a vote to watered-down version of the bill. A final vote is scheduled for today. Med Center bill p.3 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. Arte 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 no debate on the bill, which would A break for the needy Student volunteers help deliver food to Mexico, rebuild in Appalachia By Carol B. Shiney Kansan staff writer Woodlawn, Tenn., may seem like an unlikely spring break destination, but Michelle Myers is not planning a traditional spring break. Instead, Myers, Wichita junior, is participating in Spring Break Alternative, a program sponsored by St. Lawrence Catholic Center. "Mostly I'm going just for the experience because I'm really into volunteering and because I would like to think that I've done everything in my life to help other people," Mvers said. Spring Break Alternative, which is in its fifth year, sponsors trips to Saltillo, Mexico. Appalachia in Kentucky, Wooddawn, Tenn., and Kansas City, Mo. Participants volunteer to work in urban, rural or third-world settings. The trip to Mexico costs $200; to the Appalachian area $115; to Kansas City, Mo. $25. Forty-five people will participate. Russ Testa, student outreach minister of St. Lawrence Center, said the trip to Kansas City, Mo., would be part of a pilot program called Urban Alternative. The five students will stay at the Holy Trinity Convert and will work with Jesuit Volunteer Corps workers, he said. Testa said the students could work in homeless shelters, battered women's resource centers, soup kitchens and day care centers. The 13 students who are going to Saltillo will stay at a Catholic mission and will work with people in the area. Speaking Spanish is not a requirement. Testa said the students would deliver medicine and beans to people in Mexico. He said the trip would give students an opportunity to see how people are suffering in the world. "It's a real faith-streengthening experience," Testa said. In Appalachia and Woodlawn, students will help people clean up and rebuild from a flood that destroyed houses last year, he said. Students also will visit nursing homes to talk with lonely patients. Testa said that during the trip students would learn why the Appalachian region had been a traditionally poor area. "There's a lot you can learn from them about what Appalachia is like." he said. Testa, who went on a Spring Break Alternative trip last year, said he was going again because it was a learning experience because it was a great way to meet Friends. "It's also to help people realize there's more to life than the almighty dollar," he said. LiveWire WATCH FOR IT! THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Have fun on SPRING BREAK!!

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 on legislation remains in committee. "President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step for President Bush and his assistant's chief domestic policy adviser. But the compromise still is likely to encounter stiff industry lobbying, largely because of its estimated $20 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 the impact of acid rain controls. le today hearingders, FBI agent says — Mike Napier FBI agent 'He (Grissom) made two fists and raised his knuckles and rubbed his eyes like he was trying to rub out a memory.' a memory." manyboy. Firmly Grissom said the women probably had died, Napier said. "You'll dig them up," Napier said, recounting Grissom's words. Napier said that while questioning Grissom he called Morrison, who offered to ignore their charges in a dispute, Mr. Morrison could say what happened to the women. "His response was that he knew Missouri had a death penalty and that Kansas did not, and that we would not find anything in Missouri," Napier said. Later that day, Napier and Grissom met again. "At that point, he said,' I can give them the whole package,' " Napier said. Grissom told him that he, Thibodea and a man named George were involved in the killings, Napler said. During cross-examination yesterday, deputy public defender Michael Barlee questioned the reliability of Napier's testimony because Napier did not take notes during his discussion with Grissom. "So your written report is not a simple账款 account?" Bartered Nation "That's correct." Napier said. In other testimony, Gary Dirks, a chemist for the Johnson County crime lab, said public hats taken from Grissom by authorities in Dallas were indistinguishable from those found by investigators in Rusch and Brown's beds. In his closing argument, Morrison said, "I suggest that these girls are just as dead as if we had presented the bodies in court." Warren said, "The fact that somebody is dead is not sufficient evidence to bound somebody for trial."
