Police modify policy
A communication breakdown between the University of Kansas Police Department, a KU freshman and the Lawrence Police Department has resulted in a change in the way in which felony reports will be handled by the departments.
Lawrence Police Chief Richard Stanwix announced last week that the KU Police Department would now send written copies of its reports on felonies such as burglaries, car thefts and robberies to the city police. He said the reports would be kept on file by month and would be available to citizens at the police station.
THEY NOTIFIED Lawrence police and put out a bulletin on the car, logging it in a statewide computer information bank and available to all law enforcement agencies.
Roper's insurance agent later went to the city police to see whether the car had been recovered. They told him they had no written record of the car theft.
A complaint by Jeff Roper, Wichita freshman, prompted the policy change. Roper's car was stolen recently and he reported it to KU police who, according to Mike Thomas, director of KU police, followed the usual procedure for reporting a stolen car.
When the agent informed Roper of the situation, he complained to Thomas, who said KU police had had previous problems with the city police denying knowledge of the reports. He said the KU dispatcher had made a note of the call, and if the city police knew nothing about the car, KU police didn't know why.
Lawrence police said Roper shouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that they knew nothing about the car simply because they didn't have a written record of it. They needed an insurance agent should have gone to KU police to see whether the car had been recovered.
There are more than 200 stolen vehicles listed in the computer, police said, and the recovident are usually the result of spot chasing or tags against the information stored in them.
Starving college students who haven't seen anything as large as a five-dollar bill in a long time will soon be relieved from the monotonous portrait of George Washington.
Roper said he wondered how the city
could have answered his car if they claimed
to know nothing about it.
$2 bill to try comeback
THE POLICE did have a record of the stolen vehicle, although it wasn't a written record available to the public, a police spokesman said. The record was in the vehicle that stores information about wanted criminals, stolen vehicles and other items.
The Federal Reserve Bank will begin shipping new two-dollar bills to local banks, the Fed will also issue single, money department manager of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mo.
The bills will carry a portrait of U.S. president Thomas Jefferson on the front and a picture of the signing of the bill of independence on the back, Tuggle said Friday.
If the two-dollar bill is accepted by the public, he said, the number of one-dollar bills in circulation could be reduced, cutting the cost of printing and transporting them.
The shipping date was chosen because it is Jefferson's birthday, he said.
Tuggle said the one-dollar bill accounted for per cent of all U.S. currency in circulation.
It will take six-to-eight months to determine whether the bill is accepted by the public. Tuggle said. He predicted that the bill would be boarded by coin collectors.
The last two-dollar bill issued was a U.S. note, he said, and collectors might want to save one of the new federal reserve notes to have a set.

Advent Products
We've never seen Advent market a product just for some fast dollars, or in imitation of someone else's, or because the name could sell it, or a "line" with lots of models to get at everybody's budget.
Everything we know of has come about after some real questions were seriously asked: "Is it a wholly new and different kind of product that ought to be around? "What will the company do? "Does Advent have any special ability or reason, make it?"
That kind of thinking is obviously different than just making a decision to buy or calculate the profit for an item, be it a car, psychiatric care, or psychiatric equipment; people all like it.
Our current Advent's products is the Advent Speaker. it will present your story dramatically better than many, more expensive systems, and so dynamically better to you.
