By Rod Griffin
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-ball-turned-abortion legislation raged into the night yesterday in the House before Senate votes to watered-down version of the bill. A final vote is scheduled for today.

Med Center bill
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 proc-

In the northeastern coastal cities of Salvador, Recife and Oilda, sumathers packed beaches and revelers danced along boulevards behind throbbing music trucks leading parade processions.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Rich and poor put on their dancing shoes last Saturday and kicked off Brazil's riotous Carnival, billed as the country's largest and most democratic party.
Merrymakers traded clothes for sequin and feather costumes for four days of drinking, dancing and wild sexual abandon. They girdled to samba strains in night clubs, ballrooms and on the streets of Rio, the hub of Carnival.

After fat, jolly King Mono — Carnival's symbolic sovereign — received the keys to the city from Mayor Marcelo Alencar in the official opening ceremony at noon Saturday, thousands danced and sang in the downtown financial district.
Pooer Brazilians banged out samba rhythms on pots and pans and frolicked in the streets, while the well-heeled donned glittering, beaded costumes and danced until dawn in chandeliered ballrooms.

About 20,000 police were on duty in Rio's southern beachfront districts to stem a recent violent crime wave. On Saturday, police said the festival was peaceful and reported no major incidents.
And at Rio's luxurious Monte Libano
As always, Rio geared up for the highlight of Carnival — the "samba school" parade, given in two 15-hour sessions on Sunday and Monday.
Sixteen "schools," or neighborhood clubs formed in slum areas, paraded as many as 5,000 dancers clad in flashy, feathered costumes and string bikinis down the sixblock, outdoor paradeway known as the "Sambadrome."
Schools spend a whole year and millions of dollars preparing their parades, composing samba lyrics, choreographing dance steps, and making costumes and floats based on the musical theme. They then compete for a championship prize.
Riotur, the city's tourism agency, charged a hefty $170 for the best parade seat for tourists but gave $150 of the fee to each samba school for costumes and floats.

A Portrait From Spring Break
March. 12
Not too much money left at this point. Me and my friends have already blown most our money buying drinks for ourselves and for those cute girls that were at the end of the bar. Had to fish, just so we could eat dinner. Oh well, I still have my Ruff Hewn wear from Eastons. I may be hungry, but I look good thanks to Eastons.

President Senate OK air bill
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.
Leaders hope move will quell opponents
The Associated Press
"President Bush is extraordinarily eased with the agreement. It is a diestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the president's chief domestic policy adviser.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air traffic and reduce decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
Porter said the administration could attempt to expedite Senate agreement in the House, where legislation remains in committee.
But the compromise still is likely to counter stiff industry lobbying,狠 because of its estimated $20 billion 400 billion annual cost to the enemy.
Some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining allowed provisions in the original nate bill that would have required longer automobile emission conds to combat urban smog. Other voiced continued concern about impact of acid rain controls.
