TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-bill turned-abortion legislation raged into the night yesterday in the House before President Obama watered-down version of the bill. A final vote is scheduled for today.

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 Artile 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

Activities range from vacations to paperwork
Kansan staff writer
For KU students, spring break usually means relaxing at home or taking a road trip with friends. For many KU instructors, it meams catching up on paperwork.
Larry Waggle, graduate teaching assistant in Western Civilization, said he would spend the break grading papers and working on paperwork.
"It's really rough in this program," he said. "A lot of times, our holidays get sacrificed."
Diane Frome Loeb, assistant professor of speech, language and hearing, said she and her husband would spend the week working.
"Usually I work weekends, so maybe I'll take the weekend off," she said.
She said she would enjoy the quiet time in Lawrence without the students.
Her husband, Stanford Loeb, lecturer in the ecology department, agreed. He said he would use the free time to organize a symposium and concentrate on paperwork.
"It will be spend getting work done that has been lagged behind," he said. "It will be just a couple of days where I don't have to teach and can get caught up."
he said he would like to go to Clinton Lake because he has never been there. The Loebs moved to Lawrence at the beginning of the fall semester.
David Thissen, professor of psychology, said he would probably work and do research on campus.
"I hadn't really thought that far ahead," he said.
'It will be just a couple of days where I don't have to teach and I can get caught up.'

Richard Cole, professor of philosophy,
said his vacations varied from year to year.
"What we might do is, on a weekend, go up to Roaring River in Missouri if it's warm," he said.
He said he would spend the break with his family and working in Lawrence. His daughter is coming home from college to look for summer work.
Aletha Huston, professor of human development, said her spring break plans often varied. This year, she is going to Florida with her husband and daughter, where they have vacationed before. She said that they were not concerned about the large number of students in the area because they were planning to spend the week on their boat.

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
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.
"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. Porter said the administrationuld attempt to expedite Senate assage and seek a similar agreement in the House, where clean-airilation remains in committee.
But the compromise still is likely to counter 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 unkened provisions in the original bill that would have required longer automobile emission cons to combat urban smog. Other voiced continued concern about a impact of acid rain controls.
