Senators split on capital punishment vote in Kansas
Two Lawrence area lawmakers, freshman Sens. Jane Eldredge and Jim Allen, split on a death penalty measure. Eldredge opposed the broad proposal but supported a narrower bill, while Allen backed it. Both expect no 27 votes to override Gov. Carlin’s anticipated veto, signaling likely deadlock this year.

Statehouse '81 death bill prompts veto fears and lone support
A state lawmaker objects to the death penalty bill’s crime list, proposing it be limited to killings of prison guards or fellow inmates. She supports indigent defense at state expense but opposes choosing defense counsel by county. Allen, a vocal death penalty proponent, cast his fifth Senate vote in favor, predicting more action next year but deeming this year’s effort dead. The Senate approved the measure 23-17, with two absences, to allow the first state death sentence since 1972.

KU Bell near agreement on campus telephone contract changes
KU acting Chancellor Del Shankel indicated KU is leaning toward alternatives to its original Southwestern Bell contract. Two options would cut costs versus the 1979 agreement and could affect Centrex II. one keeps Centrex II with rotary phones at annual increases of 90 000 to 130 000 through 1985, the other preserves Centrex I and moves to Interconnect with no on campus charges but higher overall costs plus a 260 000 penalty. Next year KU would pay half the rising charges.
