Dukakis counts on TV exposure
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis has been all over the airwaves in an unprecedented blitz of television interviews that analysts say can't hurt him but probably won't sway enough voters to win him the presidency.
Dukakis is snapping up television invitations with record speed while Republican George Bush, with double-digit leads in most polls, weighs when and where and whether to appear.
"He has everything to gain because he has nothing to lose," John Buckley, a Republican consultant and CBS commentator, said of the Dukakis strategy. "He's behind in every poll. He's behind in more than 40 states. His only hope is to get as much exposure for himself as possible and hope that what he says has some resonance with voters."
He's in a box. He's got to go on TV," said Michael Robinson, a Georgetown University

government professor and a director of the Times-Mirror-Gallup voter surveys." But without any real news to go with the media saturation, no one can possibly expect that the election would turn around."
The Massachusetts governor has no shortage of money for television advertising. But his campaign has decided that voters, in addition to 30-second doses of their candidate and his message, also need lengthier exposures, such as Dukakis' 90-minute interview with Ted Koppel Tuesday night on ABC's "Nightline."
Dukakis has also scheduled a 14-minute appearance tonight with Dan Rather on CBS, an
He's already appeared on the morning news shows and the Larry King talk show on CNN. His wife, Kity, was on CBS "Face the Nation." His running mate, Sen. Lloyd Benson, was on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley" and was scheduled for a Rather interview last night.
appearance next week with Tom Brokaw on NBC and an interview with David Frost Nov. 6 on the Fox Broadcasting network.
"This a chance \have people see the real Mike Dukas," spokesman Mark Gearan said yesterday. "What we've seen over the last 20 years is that the more you see him, the more you like him."
The Bush camp, which tried to neutralize the "Nightline" appearance in some parts of the country with repeated airings during commercial breaks of an ad accusing Dukakis of opposing "virtually every defense system we developed," predictably takes the opposite view.
Gacy angry at GOP furlough campaign
The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Condemned killer John Wayne Gacy has complained to state Republican officials about campaign leaflets that say he would have been eligible for weekend passes had he committed his 33 murders in Massachusetts.
In a one-page typewritten letter received Monday at state Republican headquarters, Gacy said, "It is an insult to the voting public that the Illinois Republican State Central Committee has leased a steely level by exploiting the name of John Wayne Gacy in order to scare people into voting for George Bush.
"Can't Bush run on his own record and the truth, instead of all this
scarey (sic) fantasy?" said the letter, dated Oct. 21.
An identical letter, dated Oct. 23,
was mailed to The Associated Press.
Gacy, imprisoned at the Menard Correctional Center in Southern Illinois, confirmed yesterday that he wrote the letter, said Brian Fairchild, a spokesman for the State Department of Corrections.
The Gacy reference in state GOP campaign mailings was labeled "garbage" earlier this month by the Republican group, a campaign appearance in Illinois.
The leaflets refer to a furious program for prisoners that was carried on under Dukakis' administration.

Counties will vote on liquor Eleven in Kansas could alter status of liquor by drink
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Voters in 11 Kansas counties will cast bailouts Nov. 8 to decide whether their counties should change their status on liquor by the drink in public restaurants. Wichita and Kansas City, Kan., citizens will decide whether to embrace open bars.
Under a 1986 constitutional amendment, Kansas voters not only legalized sale of liquor by the drink in public restaurants but with the same vote decided whether their county would allow liquor in restaurants in restaurants doing at least 30 percent of their business in food sales.
This year, counties had the option of changing their status from what it has been the past two years. Those options included reverting to no liquor by the drink in restaurants — but still allowing it in private clubs — or removing the 30 percent food requirement to legalize bars, or trying again to legalize liquor in restaurants if they reselected it in 1986.
Neither the secretary of state's office nor the Kansas Association of Counties conducted surveys to determine student participation on their ballots next month.
Boards of county commissioners could submit the issue by resolution, or citizens could initiate a vote by obtaining signatures equal to 10 percent of the number of votes cast in the last general election.
Counties that rejected liquor by the drink in public restaurants in 1986 and are trying now to get it passed Newton, and Charge and Kearny.
One county, Stafford, that rejected it two years ago is taking the quantum leap to open bars, bypassing the 30 percent food requirement.

"I think its definitely going to be a national trend," he said.

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, 1918 Stewart艾. has followed a national policy of non-pledgeship since 1972.
Kevin Kennedy, Prairie Village freshman, said that he was an associate member of Lambda Chi, which meant that he shared the same house duties as full members and wasn't hazed.
Danny Kaiser, coordinator for greek programs for the Interfraternity Council, said the idea to eliminate pledgehats at all fraternities was merely being discussed in the national arena.
that it's at a talking stage," he said. Kaiser said there was nothing in the council's rules about how a person must enter a fraternity.
"I think it would only be safe to say that it's at a talking stage," he said.
"That's a membership policy, which is handled by the chapters," Kaiser said.
He said that the council stepped in only when something unethical or illegal, such as hazing, happened.
No formal hazing complaints have been filed this year with the council, Kaiser said.
Greenfield said that although pledgedhip had been abolished for the ZBT chapters, he did not yet know whether new recruits would be activated as full members when they entered the fraternity.
He also said he did not know how it would affect freshman rush.
"When most freshmen rush, they don't know enough about the system to be able to choose," he said.
Greenfield also said that the pledge system had its value but that it could be unfair to the pledges, who often do to most of the domestic duties.
"The ideal pledge system would teach you the ideas of the fraternity but would eliminate hazing." Greenfield said.
