Motions postpone Beers'trial
Former Lawrence resident Chad Beers, now in a jail in Lincoln, Neb., did not go to trial Tuesday as scheduled, said Sara Fullerton, Lancaster County deputy attorney.
Defense motions filed by Beers' attorney are awaiting decision. His trial, which will be held in Lancaster County District Court, can't begin until a judge rules on the motions.
According to Fullerton, Beers' attorney filed motions saying there wasn't enough evidence to bind Beers over from county to district court.
Fullerton told the earliest date for trial would be Feb. 27, but if more motions are filed, Beers' trial could be delayed longer.
Beers will be tried on charges of attempted robbery, third-degree assault, fleeing to avoid arrest and making a terroristic threat.
Another charge, receiving stolen property, stems from an incident in Lawrence.
In August 1994, Beers escaped from the Sebastian County Jail in Arkansas. He had been awaiting transfer to a federal penitentiary after he was found guilty on charges of kidnapping an Arkansas man in 1993.
Beers' escape took him north through Oklahoma, where he and another escapee stole a truck. He passed through Lawrence and was captured in Lincoln.
Police said that while in Lawrence, Beers tried to continue his escape northward in a city-owned truck that was stolen from the back yard of a house.
All of the counts against Beers are felonies, except the third-degree assault charge, which is a misdemeanor.
Angry student accused of settling dispute by hurtling rocks at parking employees
Three employees of the Parking Department were pelled with rocks Wednesday night, KU police reported.
The employees, all KU students, were in lot 90 behind Robinson Center when they were attacked.
According to the employees, a man became upset and threw rocks at them. All three were struck
Douglas McCray, Overland Park sophomore, was issued a notice to appear by KU police for battery. McCray was later arrested by Lawrence police on a Douglas County warrant for discharging a firearm, a charge unrelated to the battery notice. He was released on his own recognizance.
His first appearance is set for Feb.1.
Wild side of net explained in classes

If you want to get a close-up look at nature, don't go outside. Check out the gophers, falcons and larks kept at the computer center instead.
No, computer employees aren't building a zoo. These animals are actually tools used to navigate the Internet. Whether you are computer illiterate or a hacker, the Computer Center is offering classes on how to tame these creatures and a variety of other subjects.
"You can learn everything from entering and editing text to combining graphics and text," said Jerree Catlin, training supervisor at the computer center. "You can learn how to get a file, for example, Clinton's speech, and transfer it from Washington, D.C., to your own system, and then to your own PC. You can learn how to publish things on Internet."
You can also learn how to get onto the Internet through multiuser systems such as FALCON and LARK and dig for information using a computer program called Gopher.
Jim Lipari, director of computer services at Saint Mary College, recently took two workshops at the center.
"Both are worth every minute of time," he said. "This is a great community service."
Judy Sein, a research assistant at the University of Kansas Medical Center, also took two workshops. Her reactions were mixed.
"I didn't like it," she said about the second workshop she attended. "The instructor kept saying, 'We're not going to discuss this now.' I was rather sharply criticized for not taking the introductory course. It was directed at a select group to which I was not a part."
But her first workshop was much better, she said.
Three groups of classes are offered by the center - "In Briefs" and seminars, which are free, and workshops, which have a registration fee.
Sending e-mail or connecting your computer to the Internet are typical topics in In Briefs, she said. In Briefs are presented in the center's auditorium and are not hands-on lessons.
"People can come for part or all of them," she said. "You can bring your lunch, though I've never seen anyone bring their lunch."
Seminars are 1 1/2 hours and concentrate on multiuser systems, such as FALCON. Some seminars are hands-on, and some are demonstrations, Catlin said. Pre-registration is required to attend both seminars and workshops.
Workshops are the most popular classes, especially word processing workshops, Catlin said. Workshops last three hours and are always hands-on.
In Briefs and seminars are offered only at the center, but workshops are also offered at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Workshop fees are $20 for KU students, $40 for KU faculty and staff, and $75 for the public.
