Marshall observed that the request will stjjl be before the court when it reconvenes in October.

In a statement issued in Washington, McGovern said, "By a divided court decision, it is now the responsibility of the delegates to the national convention to protect the rule of law and the nation's time-honored restore convention seats to the Daley delegates.

By MICHAEL ROBINSON Associated Press Writer SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) Alternate delegate Kathy Wood, 21, got ready for the Decocra tic National Convention in Miami Beach by stocking up on extra blue jeans and sandals. "I always wear the same thing," she said. "I'm not going to change for the convention." Money for the trip wasn't much of a problem, either.

Her mother furnished most of it. and Jean had such a terrible fight? drove into a tree on the way home? felt so lousy the next day? Not all regular party organizations come in for criticism, though. She won her alternate delegate race with the blessing of Pike County regular Democrats. "It really blew my mind," she says, "to think that they endorsed me without even contacting me." Kathy, who turned 21 only seven days before the March 21 primary, was initiated into politics at a McGovern meeting early this year. A few months later voters picked her to go to Miami Beach.

"I think he's ignoring the "I have to pay a fourth of the gas we re going down there in a Volkswagen," she says, Maybe there's more to being a great host than pushing drinks.

Kathy majors in "justice and social order" at Sangamon State University in Springfield. She still is in the dark about what to do after graduation.
