Jury Deliberations Halted During ESU Case Holiday
A federal district court jury in Topeka paused its deliberations over Rodney Mitchell’s $1.8 million damage suit against Emporia State University and five officials for a Labor Day weekend. The panel of five men and three women resumed Tuesday after 11 hours of testimony over two days. The suit claims harassment led to his resignation as senior economics professor in 1978 and seeks damages for lost wages, humiliation, suffering, and punitive relief. The outcome could set a precedent for similar claims.

Carlin hails federal wheat plan amid late timing
Governor John Carlin calls the U S agriculture plan to cut wheat acreage a positive step though potentially too late for many Kansas farmers who already prepared land. Secretary Black proposes a 15 percent 1982 crop reduction to qualify for price supports, while Congress must approve. Senator Bob Dole questions sufficiency of 15 percent amid large 1981 harvest and big June carryover.

Senator weighs curbs on lobbying with severance tax fight
State Senator Gerald Karr plans to propose restricting use of public funds for lobbying by local governments in Kansas. He sought an attorney general ruling on the Legislative Policy Group’s anti severance tax lobbying, which Atty. Gen. Robert Stephan rejected as an improper political use of power. The dispute centers on whether counties may fund lobbying to oppose Carlin's severance tax plan aimed at oil gas and coal, projected to raise 110 to 150 million for school finance.
