The event raises money for the March of Dimes. Big shifts in population could change the way Hoosier politicians run Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Democrats and Republicans are likely to see changes in statewide campaigns this year because of dramatic shifts since 1980 that have made Indiana voters older, less educated, more mobile and more female. "I don't think 'dramatic' is too strong a word for the population changes at all," said Jerry McKibben, a demographer for the Indiana Business Research Center. "These are massive shifts." Population growth in Indiana has been so modest in the past eight years about 0.2 percent that some believe the state could lose one of its 10 congressional seats after the 1990 census is taken.

Meanwhile, Hoosiers 18 to 25 years old are moving to Sun Belt states or to major cities in Indiana. Hoosiers over age 35 are moving to suburban counties, especially the ones surrounding Indianapolis. In fact, three of the fastest-growing counties in Indiana are Hamilton, Johnson and Hendricks Indianapolis neighbors. Dramatic shifts are also eroding the "auto belt," a once prosperous, highly industrialized area in the east central part of the state. More than 40 percent of the state's population loss since 1980 has been there.

In Lake County, the steady decline in the steel industry has helped produce 35 percent of the state's total population loss. To political parties, these shifts represent changes in voting blocks. According to Republican State Chairman Gordon Durnil, GOP strategists have always counted on TODAY'S SCHEDULE Associated Press General Assembly meetings today (rooms are in the Capitol Annex unless otherwise noted): House: 10 a.m. Budget Review Subcommittee on General Government, Finance and Public Protection, Room 107.

With the declining population there, however, Republicans will have to pay increasing attention to the southern rural counties. The population loss in the auto belt is also critical to Republicans, who have posted strong results since 1980 in most of the counties there.

"The old industrial areas are certainly the most fragile," said Democratic strategist William M. Schreiber. "If there is trouble in the economy, it will probably show up there first." But the potential bad news might not benefit his party. "I see no good news in this for the Democrats," said Patrick J. McGeever, chairman of the political science department at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis.

"Among the few organizational centers of strength they have are the UAW and the Gary area." As young people leave the state, the electorate is aging more quickly than in years past. According to Durnil, this could present two problems for the GOP. First, he said, potential voters 18 to 25 are most likely to side with Republicans, and the depletion of this age group could mean fewer potential Republican voters. Second, the older groups would make up a higher percentage of the electorate and the 55-to-64 age group is the one most likely to vote Democratic. Meanwhile, women are gaining political power as they take a larger part in the electoral process.

"The growing percentage of women voting has more of an issue impact than a partisan impact," McGeever said. "They are affected by economic issues in the same way men are, but they are different on issues of war and peace. "They are more likely to be swayed by a candidate who is for gun control or against p*rnography." In an effort to win the female vote, Durnil said Republicans will be considerably more sensitive to "family issues" during the 1988 campaign, especially day care. "I've seen studies where women were asked to name a subject they talked about today, and one of the things that always comes up is day care." Problem prisoners to find regimen hard to swallow RAIFORD, Fla. (AP) Florida prison officials have a new weapon against unruly inmates, and they're hoping prisoners won't have the stomach for it.

Beginning Feb. 15, troublemakers will find their diet limited to "confinement loaf," a bland mixture of beans and other ingredients that looks like banana bread and is served without utensils. "Officially, it's not a punishment," said Marion Ellis, the superintendent at the Union Correctional Institution at Raiford. "They're certainly going to think it is." The program is meant to curb attacks on officers by inmates confined to one-man cells for disciplinary reasons. Their most common infraction is throwing hot or messy food, feces or utensils..
