He said many had been dropped in favor of a decision to buy 30 minutes of time for a major Dole effort to win voter support. Brock's version, as it turned out, was correct. Some 30-second Dole commercials are running in Illinois. But the former secretary of labor was not around to provide an authoritative version when the word first got out. He was attending ceremonies marking the anniversary of the founding of the Labor department.

The 30-minute Dole program, originating from Knox College in Galesburg, site of one of the Lincoln- Douglas debates, turned out to be a showcase of campaign disarray. Eight hours before the program was to air, Dole advisers were unable to say exactly what it would contain. Aides were scrambling to fill the 30 minutes. Nearly half of it was filled by a Dole biography filmed months ago for showing at campaign events. The message the candidate delivered was a restatement of campaign rhetoric, his contention that Bush was not discussing the issues.

"The issues are more important than the odds," he said, portraying himself as the one who was responsible for getting President Reagan's program through Congress. It was a $100,000 was all the riskier because of the decision to go live instead of taping the program in advance. In the middle of the program, there was an unexplained power failure that resulted in loss of the picture for several minutes. The sound was not interrupted. How many voters saw the program was questionable.

It was competing against "Wheel of Fortune," the popular game show in which Vanna White has become a celebrity for her role of turning around the letters on word puzzles. While Dole was fighting for attention in one campus building, Bush was addressing a cheering crowd of more than 1,000 Republicans in the college gymnasium about 200 yards away. Tied as tightly as ever to Reagan, Bush confidently predicted, "We are going to win on Tuesday because we have the people with us." In the battle for Republican primary votes, Bush is looking and sounding much like a winner. Cosby, 'Fatal Attraction' are top People's Choice Award winners LOS ANGELES (AP) Comedian Bill Cosby won four People's Choice Awards, and "Fatal Attraction" and its stars claimed three Sunday night in the nationally broadcast popularity poll. Cybill Shepherd, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Whitney Houston also were honored during the 14th annual awards ceremony, which CBS-TV broadcast from 20th Century Fox Studios.

Winners were determined by a Gallup poll of 5,000 people over age 12, a statistical representation of nearly 196 million people. Cosby was named favorite male television performer for the fourth straight year and favorite all-around male entertainer for the third. He also won a new award all-time favorite television star while his top-rated NBC-TV series, "The Cosby Show," won its fourth award as favorite television comedy pro- gram. NBC's "L.A. Law" was the favorite television dramatic program.

"Fatal Attraction" was the favorite dramatic motion picture, and its leads, Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, were named favorite motion picture actor and actress. Clint Eastwood was chosen all-time favorite movie star. "Three Men and A Baby" was the favorite comedy motion picture. Shepherd was named favorite female television performer for her role in ABC's "Moonlighting." Parton won two awards: favorite all-around female entertainer, and favorite female performer in a new television program for ABC's "Dolly." Rogers won his eighth award as favorite male musical performer, tying Cosby, Burt Reynolds and Barbara Mandrell as an eight-tune winner of an individual category. In other awards, Oprah Winfrey dethroned Johnny Carson as favorite television talk show host, Houston was the favorite female musical performer, the group Bon Jovi was chosen favorite rock group, and Barbra Streisand was the favorite all-tune musical star.

John Ritter was the favorite male performer in a new television program for ABC's "Hooperman." Kirk Cameron of the ABC show "Growing Pains" and Keshia Knight-Pulliam of "The Cosby Show" tied for favorite young television performer. The favorite new television dramatic program was "thirtysometh- ing" on ABC, while NBC's "A Different World" and "My Two Dads" on NBC tied for favorite new television comedy program. In a new category, the all-tune favorite song was "Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme)" from the 1965 film, "Dr. Salinan (Continued from Page 1) said. For the first couple of years, the coalition received federal revenue sharing funds.

The chapter also sold memberships at a cost of $10 for state membership and $5 for local membership. The first program started by the coalition was the "Morning Out for Moms," a free baby-sitting service one morning a week, "just to give parents relief from the 24-hour childcare situation," Macy said. The program continues to operate at the First United Methodist Church, and the coalition wants to expand it to two mornings a week. The next program was mailing the "Pierre the Pelican Newsletter" to all new parents. The newsletter is sent to new parents once a month for the child's first year.

Asbury-Salina Regional Medical Center provides the names, and the newsletters are provided by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. In April 1986, the coalition opened an office at the Trade Winds Motel, 1646 N. Ninth. But it soon ran out of room and moved in November 1987 to 639 N.Ohio. Also in November, the coalition hired Kathy Edwards as director.

Edwards is working to expand programs and frequently speaks to civic groups and at schools. "My main goal is to get more community support and more community awareness," Edwards said. The coalition also has been responsible for starting the "Bub- balonian Encounter" program for prevention of sexual abuse in the Sauna School District, parenting education classes, the "Happy Bear" program to teach preschool children about sexual abuse and the latchkey children's program to teach safety to children who are alone at home after school. "It's not that we condone them being along," Macy said. "It's just that if they have to be alone, it makes them a little bit safer." About a month ago, the coalition started a support group at St.

Mary's Catholic parish for men who abuse. Attendance has not been good, Macy said. Those who attend do so under court order. This month, the coalition is conducting a fund drive to sustain its annual operating budget of about $30,000. "Funding is always a chronic problem," Macy said.

The coalition receives some funding from the Children's Trust Fund, which collects about $300,000 a year statewide from marriage license fees. The coalition also depends on private donations from individuals and organizations. Edwards said the coalition will be selling balloons at the Central Mall this month. Those who purchase a balloon will receive a raffle ticket for a playhouse. The coalition also has scheduled a Softball tournament in May to raise money; F.Y.I.
