Park opening could stop Lake Henry skinny-dipping
Staff Writer
By MIKE BELT
Students who enjoy skimmy-dipping at Lake Henry, west of Lawrence, will have to camp out in the sun during their visit.
Regulations forbidding nude swimming on state park land will be enforced next year, Walt Settles, manager of the Kansas National Park Bureau, attends at Clinton Reservoir, said yesterday.
"This is a state park area and the so-called skim-dipping will have to stop." Settles said. "personally don't care one thing about it, but the park open on the public won't accept this."
Lake Henry, which really is a large pond originally built on private property, was included in the land acquired by the federal government in the early 1960s. The land then was leased to the state for development of Clinton Reservoir.
Clarkton is located about three miles west of Lawrence on U.S. 4 and about three and a half miles south on a dirt road, Lake Henry has long been a favorite place for swimmers and sun bathers must make their way about 75 yards down a hill covered with trees and
underbrush to get to the water. Only a small part of the lake can be seen from the road.
Because the lake is on state property, Settles said, the park and resources authority could have stopped the skinny-dipping before but chose not to.
rupping octaves, never had much trouble with the people who go down there," he said, "and since they weren't bothering anybody, we just let it go."
just letter?
According to Craig Stancille, assistant County attorney, there are no state laws against skinny-dipping but there is an independent exposure law.
HE SAID THE indecent exposure ordinance stated that a person could not show his private parts in a manner meant to arouse sexual desires in another or in the presence of those who object. The ordinance describes private parts as the male and female genitalia and buttocks and the female breasts.
Stancliffe says, "As long as the people who go to a certain area know that there will be nude swimming, and as long as the area is free, we don't want to see it, there should be no problem."
Stancliffe said, however, that because
"I TOLD PEOPLE two or three years ago that if they wanted to keep this area for skinny-dipping, they would have to get together with the state." Settles said.

state director of the park and resources authority in Topeka.
He said that skinny-dipping could be allowed in certain areas of a state park if it were designated as such, but that the designation would have to come from the
No action will be taken to stop skinny-dippers from going to Lake Henry this year, according to Settles. However, he said some problems might arise because workers were
building a road a few hundred yards from Lake Henry.
Settles said the Lake Henry region eventually would be open in some form to the general public, so the skim-dipping plans might be made to turn the region into

DISCIPLINARY ACTION could range from a verbal warning to explusion from the University.
"We are going to have heavy equipment down there and I'm going to put up some signs warning of this." Settles said. "A lot of people come in here, and I'm afraid somebody will get creamed."

"The pictures I saw were not necessarily of poor quality, but the angles and distances were not helpful in identification," Ambler said.
Ambler said that he had seen 25-30 photographs that had been taken at Hoch Auditorium.
Lake Henry was on state land, the park resources authority could stop skinny-dipping. To do this, he had to have people be wound up so that people would be by the nuity and then issue a regulation.
"FROM WHAT I know so far, we are somewhat disappointed with the clarity of the pictures," Shankel said.
"We will talk to others, such as students, faculty or townpeople that felt their rights were violated."
He said that KU police and administrators present at the speech would be asked to identify protesters. The photographs were enlarged for easier study, Shankel said.
Ambler said that he thought that there also might be identification from people who were in the same room.
Ambler also said that identification of a disruptive act from the photographs was difficult.
"A picture somebody just standing up in no concrete evidence of a disruption act."
MANHATTAN (AP) - Kansas State University announced yesterday the signing of two front-line basketball players—a Colorado and a high school star from Illinois.
