Yet it was not until he graduated and went to Yale Divinity School that his political interests were obvious.

"By the time we got to divinity school my interests principally were theological and philosophical" recalls Tom Boyd. "But Gary wanted to read theology and philosophy and Time magazine, too. He was interested in politics from the' early days there." That was when John F. Kennedy was making his own "new generation" appeal and Hart clearly was caught up in it. "He became almost enamored of Kennedy," Boyd recalled in a recent interview.

"I think that's what catapulted him into law, the promise of the Kennedy Editor's mail By The Associated Press Gary Hart, who speaks of new ideas and a "new generation" of leaders in his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, is often cast as a liberal or neoliberal but his Senate record reflects a more centrist course. The liberal Americans for Democratic Action assesses his lifetime voting record as being to the 'right of Walter F. Mondale, the man he upset to win the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday. Hart has opposed the government bailout of Chrysler Corp. and opposed gun control And he has disavowed what he calls "old liberal cliches," and sometimes opposed big labor.

At the same time, he's kept a close watch on the interests back home, and' even made Wester n-ness an issue. His black cowboy boots are often conspicuous beneath conservative suits, and he once said "I plan to try for the West what Jimmy Carter did in the South. I intend to run as a Westerner and make a big issue out of His appeal has worked at home. In I98Q, Hart ran counter to the Reagan landslide in Colorado to win re-election to a second term. When he announced his bid for presi dent a year ago in Denver, Hart observed that being a long-shot candidate had its advantages.

"I do not envy the intense scrutiny Frit will have for a long ime," he said of Mondale, is victory Tuesday may not confer on him the front-runner's mantle, but it assures one thing: Hart, no longer just a dark horse, will find himself in the glare of national scrutiny that Mondale has Iqng endured. Born Gary Hart pence 47 years ago in Ottawa, Hart's family later shortened its surname some say at Gary's instigation, to make himself more easily recognized as a political figure.

"He was no Bible-thumper" recalled friend Walt DengeL now a mortician in Ottawa.

Senate from his adopted state of Colorado. He does not like to talk about his past, but a recent interview suggested there was a steely, hard nugget of ambition driving him from when he was a youngster growing up in Kansas, "There was no particular interest in politics in my family." Hart said "My family was not well off. No politics in" it. The fact that I went to college was considered a big deal "I remember a state senator lived in Ottawa and you'd drive by his house and think that was a hell of a deal" he said smiling at the notion that he'd grown up to run for president "Politics was something other people did" 4 'Stale information1 indeed Hart's success in selling his "new generation" appeal to New Hampshire voters is only the latest case of the quiet, lanky figure riding in from nowhere and staking a claim before anyone noticed-He was an unknown, 34-year- old Denver lawyer a dozen years ago when he volunteered to work for Sea George McGovern and impressed the candidate enough with his work in the West to be the ruthlcssncss and duplicity thai 1 enabled the former Volga boatman and film project ionist locatchthecycs of Stalin's henchmen and secure a major foothold in the Communist Party hierarchy before he was 4a" "Stale information indeed!

DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-yaar-okt woman, happily married for eight years, with two children and a wonderful husband. I work part time to help with the expenses.

My husband haa always worked full time. Ever since our marriage my parents have concerned themselves with the way we spend our money. We aren't "rich," but we manage to live comfortably and have never missed a payment of any Hart, handicapped in some states by a lack of organization and enough delegate candidates, is looking to turn his victory into a flood of money and campaign help to match Mondale's head start in other states. Sen. Alan Cranston of California and former Florida Gov.

Reubin Askew were considering whether to continue after finishing at the bottom of the heap in New Hampshire. But for the rest of field the cry was "On to March 1 3," the first Super Tuesday of the campaign with five primaries and six caucuses. Glenn, Jackson and South Carolina Sea Ernest F.

Maine's caucuses are on Sunday. Mondale swept a straw poll in the state kind We recently bought two snowmobiles for family recreation. Needless to say, Mom and Dad had plenty to say about how "foolishly" we spent our money.

No matter what we buy, they ask, "How much did it cost?" Or, "How much are the payments?" When I get a -birthday or anniversary gift from my husband, my mother never says, "How lovely." She says, "How much did it coat?" We have never asked my parents for a dime. They are in their 70s now, and we'd like to enjoy a good relationship with them. My husband and I are not irresponsible children, Abby. How can we tell them to "butt out" without being disrespectful? RESPONSIBLE AND FED UP DEAR RESPONSIBLE: You can't Your parents atill regard you as their "child," but there ia nothing you can do about it. You can't change anyone else; you can change only yourself.

And smile until your face breaks. last fall and was favored to do so in the real vote this week. But the Granite State vote could well sway the results of its neighbor. Next Tuesday, Vermont has a beauty contest primary that is meaningless in delegates, but Mondale and Hart may try to give it symbolic significance. Only Askew and Jackson are also on the ballot there.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Evans Witt is an AP political writer covering the 1984 presidential raca Basketball team's study hall not all books DEAR ABBY: You are mistaken when you say that if a man forces his wife to have sex with him he is guilty of rape. He should not have to her; the Bible says it is a wife's duty to submit to her husband.

A wife who isn't willing to submit to her husband should not have gotten married in the first place. It is little enough to pay for the protection, security and lifelong partnership the marriage license provides. Most women should take a good, long look at themselves after about 10 years of marriage, and thank God their husbands still feel like having sex with them at a 111 If they've had one or more children, they're probably 20 to 30 pounds heavier than when they married. Who wants to make love to a blob? Let's face it, Abby. Women probably invented marriage because what they have to sell fades fast, and they know they had better market it before it spoils.

"I really do empathize with these kids because of their schedule." said tutor Ra-chelle Williams. Twice this year, the players have missed five days in a row because of road trips and they frequently have to practice at 6 a.m.

before classes. Eric Zemper, a research coordinator for the NCAA in Kansas City, said academics has "been a concern for a long time." Starting in the fall of 1986. incoming college freshmen will need a average in 1 1 college preparatory courses to qualify for athletic scholarships under NCAA rules, he said Cohen said starting the program seemed like a thankless job at first. "I thought study hall was a joke, and some other players said 'We have to go to practice and to class, why thisT said senior center Colin McNish. "But now, the guys look forward to coming down here.

We all know everybody needs help wherever they go," McNish said Cohen recruited several part-time tutors to help him, including a salesman he met in a shoe store and a businessman who shared his love of basketball. They are paid a "minimal amount." Players come to the study hall at various times, whenever classes allow, and meet indiv idually wit mors. Some players have found new areas of study, and some have gained new confidence. Guard Nate Blackwell changed his major from accounting to teaching after discussions with Cohen. "1 just told him how I felt about working with kids, and now I'm thinking about being a teacher," Black-well said "I needed help academically," said McNish.

"But beyond that, I just needed people on my side." "Sometimes it's just telling them they can. It sounds over simplified but believe me, sometimes that's all that's needed" said tutor Elizabeth La Roche. "A lot of love goes on in this place." PHYLLIS MEN SING AP Writer PHILADELPHIA Basketball players at Temple University have to go to study hall or they can't play on the team. At first some thought it was a joke. But now Temple players, ranked 18th in the country with a 22-3 record, are winning in the classroom too.

They're doing it with the help of a former graduate student, a salesman and a businessman who loves basketball and in the process some of the players are getting help planning careers. "There has been a clear shift in academic progress," said counseling director Emily Sherwood. "Some may not have thought about education before. "So few people are going to make it te the pros, for them tocount on it would be a mistake," she said I "We have told them for years about how winning in the classroom leads to winning on the floor, and now they're starting to tell us some of the same things," said Coach John Chaney, who has rescheduled practice or taken a tutor along so his players can keep up with their homework. Temple's record this year is a big improvement over last year's 14-15 finish, although last year several key players were hurt.

The rules are firm: The entire basket- ball team must attend study hall once a week at the Temple counseling center. Players who 'have tried to cut study hail have been told they couldn't play. on the team. But study hall means more than books. "It's like a family," said Granger Hall, a business major who is Temple's star forward and leading re bounder.

We all get along, we all joke And that concept carries over on he court, because we all know what our abilities are," Hall said The basketball team's 4-year-old program, run by Jon Cohea is the oldest of the study hall programs for Temple athletes. Study hall isn't mandatory for all the other teams. The program was partly the result of local and national publicity over the poor academic progress of some student athletes. "There were articles breaking in the news and some awful stories that came out," said Dr. Herbert Horikawa, a psy: chologist at the counseling center.

Cohen, 3Z was a graduate student in psychology when Temple Athletic Director Gavin White approached him four years ago about starting the tutoring program. "He. mentioned that in the last few years very few Temple players had graduated and he asked Emily Sherwood and me what we could do to help," Cohen said "I had an interest in athletics, and I thought I'd take on the challenge." He now works part-time for the athletic department. Temple didn't release the number of players who graduated before the tutor program began, bu Co hen said one bird of he 450 at hides made he dean's list for the fall semester, and all of the basketball' players are on target to graduate. Academic improvement is very hard to measure, said Cohen's wife, Mary Tos-cani, who started as a tutor wkh the basketball team and last September became a full-time academic adviser to the athletic department.

"But we can see, because basketball players are a relatively small group, that they've turned from having a negative att it ute toward studies to having an interest with them," Ms.Toscahisaid "In four Letter Policy DEAR ABBY: Don't be so quick to condemn the husband who came home reeking of another woman's perfume.
