Police say men hurt four when leaving party
Two belligerent party-goers were asked to leave a house in the 800 block of Mississippi Street at 2 a.m. Sunday, and before leaving the party they injured four KU students, said Sgt. Rich Nickell of the Lawrence Police Department.
Police said the men refused to leave the party, to which they had not been invited.
"The suspects became disorderly and tried to fight the crowd," Nickell said.
One of the men, after he was asked to leave, punched a man who lived in the house, cutting him on the eyebrow. Nickell said. The men also threw bottles at the crowd, he said, cutting one student on the hand and another on the head. One of the men punched a fourth student in the jaw and broke the student's tooth. Nickell said.
Medical personnel examined the four students, but none were taken to the hospital. Police were unable to locate the two men, who witnesses drove away in a late-model conversion van.
Man yells profanities at restaurant customers
Police received reports Sunday from three local restaurants that a man was harassing customers and yelling profanities, said Sgt. Rich Nickell of the Lawrence Police Department.
This first call came from Einstein Brothers Bagels, 1026 Massachusetts St., around 9:15 a.m. Police arrived and arrested a 40-year-old Lawrence man. The man was released on $50 bond at 11:14 a.m., Nickell said.
Police received another call at 4:20 p.m. from Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., that an intoxicated man was yelling profanities at customers.
The man was gone by the time police arrived, but he was located after police received a similar call at 8:50 p.m. from Pat's Blue Rib N' Barbeque, 1618 W. 23rd St., Nickell said. He was the same man arrested at Einstein Bothers Raels.
The man was arrested at Pat's at 9:15 p.m. His bond was set was set at $200.
Student refuses to leave room during fire alarm
A KU police officer entered a residence in McColm Hall after a staff member reported that a student inside was refusing to leave during a fire alarm at 1:05 a.m. Friday, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office
The officer reported that the room smelled of alcohol and marijuana. The officer found empty beer cans and a water pipe on a table in the room, Bailey said.
As the student was getting out of the bed where he had been asleep, the officer noticed that he had been lying on a one-hitter box, Bailey said. A one-hitter is a small pipe that holds enough of a substance to allow the smoker to take one puff before reloading it.
Because the cans were empty and no marijuna was found in the room, the student was not issued a citation, Bailey said.
The fire alarm that led to the evacuation was a false alarm.

Kansas Legislature hopes to replace Capitol statues
WASHINGTON — Kansas gave the nation Dwight David Eisenhower and Amelia Earhart, two of the 20th century's most celebrated figures.
But it will take an act of Congress to get them — actually, their likenesses
NATION
— into the U.S. Capitol because only Congress can evict two now-obscure Kansans blocking their way.
No state has gotten permission to replace a statue in the 135-year-old National Statuary Hall Collection. The Kansas Legislature, hoping to become the first, sent Congress a resolution last month urging that the statues of former U.S. Sen. John James Ingalls and former Gov. George Washington Glick be removed to make room for Earhart and Eisenhower.
The path to the stately Statuary Hall is strewn with obstacles.
tory of the collection," said Barbara Wolanin, the curator in the Capitol architect's office. "The law says each state can give two statues. There just is no provision, no precedent at this point. There would have to be a legally valid system worked out."
First, Congress will have to decide whether exchanges are allowed.
"We're blazing a trail here," said Rep. Jim Rivan.
The Republican's district includes aviator Earhart's hometown of Atchison.
This has never happened in the his
Ingalls, a Republican senator from 1873 to 1891, also was a newspaper editor who championed anti-slavery forces and worked to bring Kansas into the union as a free state. Glick was elected the state's first Democratic governor, serving from 1883 to 1885.
Democrats, GOP agree to aid land conservation
WASHINGTON—A billion-dollar land rush is under way in Congress, with both political parties saying they want to preserve open spaces, protect wildlife and set aside environmentally sensitive places.
But the details are very much in dispute. Environmentalists and their Democratic allies want the bulk of funds to go for new park land, suburban green spaces and wildlife protection. Most Republicans are backing a proposal to funden money into coastal states with offshore oil drilling.
Despite the differences, never before have lawmakers, liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike, been as gungo-hu to spend money for land conservation — as much as $2.6 billion a year under one proposal.
There could emerge a classic congressional bargain for unprecedented and permanent annual funding for land conservation programs, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt said in an interview. "There's no question the money is available."
After decades of Congress giving little attention to land conservation programs, the change of heart has left environmentalists stunned.
The proposals are coming from conservatives such as Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, a property rights advocate and frequent critic of environmentalists, to liberal Democrats such as Rep. George Miller and Sen. Barbara Boxer, both Californians with strong links to environmentalists.

percent were apathetic. Hoffman replied that Delta Force would make sure students knew that his coalition had been working for students for more than two years.
Seibel disagreed that the problem was student apathy. Instead, she said, Senate needed to do more to reach out to students. She said that the YOU coalition had chosen campaign issues about which students would be excited.
In response to a question about improving education and the minds of KU students, candidates from both coalitions spoke about the importance of increasing faculty salaries to retain and recruit high-quality professors.
