Midnight-closing debate nears final decision
The Wagon Wheel. 507 W. 14th St., and The Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., may not be open until 2 a.m. for much longer.
The Lawrence City Commission will vote tonight on the ordinance requiring drinking establishments that are nonconforming and located in a residential area, to close at midnight.
At the Jan. 12 meeting, the commission told the bar owners and Oread Neighborhood residents to get together and to try to develop a compromise.
"I don't know what the outcome will be. That will be up to the participants," Corliss said.
Janet Gerstner, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said that both residents and bar owners had agreed not to comment on the situation. She said that communication between the two groups has been ongoing through letters and phone calls.
"The tone has been friendly," Gerster said. "We've been able to be civil to each other."
Corliss said he did not know whether the ordinance would pass.
"Three city commissioners asked for it to be put on the agenda tonight," Corliss said. "So there may be three votes for it."

Man moons KU student in parking lot of bar
A KU student was mooned by a man in the parking lot of The Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th, after the student told the man that he had reported him for urinating in public, according to a Lawrence Police report.
The student went to his apartment in the 1400 block of Ohio Street and called police, said Officer Matt Sarna of the Lawrence Police Department.
The student was walking home with his fiancée around 1:50 a.m. Jan. 30 when they saw the man urinating in the parking lot.
When the student returned to the Wheel to tell management about the man, the student saw the man and confronted him. Then the man mooned him
Police arrived and took a report, but no charges were brought against the man.
Lawrence residents robbed at gunpoint
A Lawrence man and woman were walking together toward her apartment in the 2400 block of Meirose Lane when they were robbed by three men at gunpoint at 12:14 a.m. Jan 29, said Officer Matt Sarna of the Lawrence Police Department.
One of the robbers hit the man on the head with a handgun during the robbery. The men took the woman's purse.
The man who was struck with the handgun received minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Cops find missing signs in Lawrence man's yard
Police didn't have to look hard to solve the mystery of the missing "No Parking" signs.
The signs, which have been missing since last week, were found early Saturday morning staked in the front yard of a Lawrence man in the 1,800 block of Missouri Street, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
When police asked the man if he had placed the signs in his yard, he said that he had been intoxicated the night before and couldn't remember.
He said it was likely that some of his friends had placed them there as a joke, the report said.

Police took the signs and gave the resident a verbal warning but did not charge him with theft.
Discussion to highlight women, power issues
The semester's first Diversity Dialogue, "Breaking the Mold! Exploring Stereotypes of Women & Power," will take place from 7 to 9 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
A flier advertising the event mistakenly stated that the dialogue would be at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
A panel of four KU students will lead the discussion.
"They are going to discuss their experiences being women in leadership positions," said Tammi Lewis, assistant director of the Office of Minority Affairs and organizer of the event.
The event is sponsored by the KU Coalition Against Racism & Discrimination, the All-Scholarship Hall Council and the Multicultural Resource Center
Diversity Dialogues are held on the first Tuesday of the month in the Kansas Union.
Next month's meeting will be devoted to stereotypes of indigenous people.
Fall break, intersession move toward approval
A revised calendar proposal that would include a two-day fall break and two-week intercession will come before the Senate Executive Committee this afternoon.
Since spring of 1998, several fall break plans have been proposed. Problems have arisen from attempts to include a two-week intersession during winter break at Provost David Shulenburger's request and from a conflict between commencement and Memorial Day weekends.
The newest proposal accommodates both concerns, said Carol Holstead,
associate professor of journalism and member of the Calendar Committee. Students would have two weeks off to study abroad or take short courses after Jan. 1, and graduation ceremonies would end by Memorial Day.
mobiles would be encouraged.
The Board of Regents has requested that member institutions submit academic calendars for 2002 to 2004 by March 1, said Bill Tsutsui, assistant professor of history and chairman of the Calendar Committee.
The proposed plan maintains 150 days of class and includes a five-day spring break and no classes on state holidays.
Finals week would be reduced from six days to five days and final examination periods shortened from three hours to 2 1/2 hours.
SenEx will review the proposal at 3 p.m. today at the Regents Room in the chancellor's office.

Clinton reveals budget plans for year 2000
WASHINGTON — Ushering in the new millennium with the promise of huge federal surpluses, President Clinton unveiled on Monday a $1.77 trillion budget for the year 2000 that would buttress Social Security and bestow billions on everything from troops to teachers.
Republicans immediately vowed to rework much of it. Staking out this year's political battlefield, they insisted that hundreds of billions of the $2.41 trillion in surpluses Clinton envisions during the next decade should be returned to Americans in tax-rate cuts.
But Clinton exulted that after three decades of unremitting deficits, the mountains of money give Washington "a special obligation" to address problems gnawing at the country.
Lewinsky questioned by Senate members
WASHINGTON — House prosecutors and the White House legal team questioned Monica Lewinsky under oath yesterday in a deposition for President Clinton's impeachment trial that lasted about five hours. The questioning, conducted privately at a hotel, concluded at midafternoon.
Meanwhile, Clinton's lawyer renewed complaints in court that Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr was violating grand jury secrecy laws on a separate matter.
"This office has no desire to inject itself into the constitutional process under way in the Senate," Starr said, reacting to a New York Times report Sunday that his office had concluded it could indict the president while he was in office even if the Senate did not remove him.
Presidential lawyer David Kendall said he was taking legal action against Starr concerning the week-end story.
