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

From parents to plastic, students are finding ways to finance their spring break trips.
Some students said they were earning, investing, saving and requesting money in order to cover costs. Others said their students would pay for part or all of the prizes.
Mike Mullen. St. Louis junior, plans on enjoying an all-expense paid ski trip to Kevstone, Colo., with his parents.
Julie Hagenhoff, St. Louis junior, and Kathy Tigges, Overland Park junior, said their parents would help pay for part of their trip to Kawah Island, S.C.
"Dad's popping for this one," Mullen said. "It's a late Christmas gift."
"Mom pays," Tiggs said. She estimated the cost of the trin to be $400 a person.
Hagenhoff said the parents of one of her six friends making the trip owned a condominium on the island, so lodging would be free.
Sharon Fruend, Kansas City, Mo,
senior, said her $1,200 trip to Mexico,
Jamaica and the Caribbean was a graduation
gift from her mother. She said she also
planned to use her $300 income tax refund
as spending money.
Michele Fontanini, Irving, Texas, junior, said her father in Columbus, Ohio, would pay her trip expenses when she went to work on the first time she has visited him there.
Mindy Spector, Overland Park junior,
San Diego who would pick up part of the job
"She's paying for my plane ticket
because she owes me one," Spector said. "It's a free trip. I'll probably hang out at the beach."
She said she had bought a plane ticket for her cousin several years ago.

Some other students said they planned to finance the trins themselves.
Jackie Erlander, Mt. Prospect, Ill., senator, said she was working at a bookstore to pay for a trip to Key West, Fla.
"It's going to take $500 to $600 to go there," she said, "I'm going to charge my plane ticket on my Visa card."
She said she spent more money last year shopping in Texas than she would this year in Florida.
Jeff Porter, Prairie Village junior, said he was working at the Computer Center to earn $300 for a planned train trip to an unknown destination.

"Some friends and I are going to take a train to Canada," Porter said. "We're going to wherever the train lets us off."
Scott Schuetz, Horton senior, said he would pay for a $500 trip to Cancun, Mexico; from the interest of certificates of deposit he has invested in a bank and from his expected tax refund. He does not mind spending his financial returns on the trip.
"I haven't been on break since I was a freshman," he said. "I need a break."

President Senate OK air bill
Leaders hope move will quell opponents
The Associated Press
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.
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.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air travel and cut the decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the presi-
ut's chief domestic policy adviser. Porter said the administration did attempt to expedite Senate seaga and seek a similar agreement in the house, where clean-air isolation remains in committee.
But the compromise still is likely to counter stiff industry lobbying, largely because of its estimated $20 million to $4 billion annual cost to the mony.
some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining acknowledged provisions in the original note bill that would have required longer automobile emission conils to combat urban smog. Other voiced continued concern about impact of acid rain controls.

Finally, Grissom said the women oobably had died, Napier said. "You'd dig them up," Napier said, counting Grissom's words.
Napier said that while questioning rissom he called Morrison, who feared to ignore theft charges in Johnson County if Grissom would say hat happened to the women.
"His response was that he knew dosauri had a death penalty and did not, it did not, and that we did not find any in Missouri," apaier said.
Later that day, Napier and Grism met again.
"At that point, he said, 'I can give vem the whole package,'" Napier ud.
Grissom told him that he. Thibodeu in a man named George werevolved in the killings, Napier said.

apier's testimony because Napier

"So your written report is not a ample, accurate account?" Barre asked Napier.
Katie's correct, Paper skim. In other testimony, Gary Dirks, a demist for the Johnson County lab, said pubic hair taken om Grissom by authorities in Dalem were indistinguishable from those by investigators in Rusch and town's beds.
"That's correct." Napier said.
