Paul Mokeski learned something from his limited appearances on the basketball courts in the NBA this year, but a single appearance in another court taught him something to remember.
Mokeski was arrested July 25, 1979,
and charged with drunken driving,
violating the State Drinking and driving on a sidewalk. He pleaded guilty to the drunken driving charge
and will be sentenced on Aug. 28.
The rest of the charges were dropped.
MOKESKI SAID he was out celebrating the fact that he had been drafted by the Houston Rockets. His success became a sobering experience.
"It really made me think," he said.
"I usually learn my lessons the hard way. From now on, if I'm drunk I won't drive."
Mokeski said everyone made a big deal out of his arrest because he is an athlete.
"I look at it as though I was just another student who got stopped for drunk driving," he said.
Mokeski, one of KU's top basketball
players, and two friends, Bob Boehner and Bob Sanner, have leased the building at 715 Massachusetts St., for use as a tavern and are busy remodeling the interior of the former Quantrill's Saloon.

"I've been thinking about opening a bar since I came here to school," he said.
"Being put on the injured reserve list came as a big shock," he said. "They weren't nice to it at all. My uniform
Mokesi kicks to have the bar ready in time for Country Club Week. The three partners have been enduring the heat while getting the club ready for the pinball machines and pool table and mosaic washing touches on the baths and bar.
It has been a year of frustration for Mokeski. the former KU center was drafted in the second round by Houston but played in only 12 games for the Rockets later on. He sprained his left hip at the same reserve list because of a severely strained back.
THE GLAMOUR of playing for an NBA team can get lost in the lonely existence of living in an endless chain of hotels, he said.
Just about the time Mokeski rejoined the team Houston got center Bilzau from San Antonio, and Mokeski spent much of the remaining season on the
Mokeski, who is number five on the list of KU rebound leaders, said the NBA was a big adjustment for him. He said life out乞 bacte and move too fast.
THE HARDEST part about not playing is keeping in shape, Mokeski said. In order to stay fit he did calisthenics in his hotel room and ran
"I miss the closeness of friends," he said. "It's harder to make friends now and I miss college life."
Mokeski, who is in the last year of his two-year contract, must make the team this fall or he becomes a free agent.
"I'm good physically now and I've learned a lot," he said. "I know what's on."
He said that if Houston put him on waivers, he might play for one of the teams from Italy and Spain that have contacted him.
Busbv's arm alone can't lift Royals
By TOM GRESS Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, MO—Inside the Royals' cocker room following last night's *71-loss* to the Boston Red Sox, the Royals lost their fifth Busy Bussy had pitched a no-hitter.
Teammates filed in and congratulated Busy. Clint Hurdle summed it up, tapping Busy on the ground, "Oh my gosh," you guy, pitched one helluva game."
But for Busby it was just another loss, his second since coming up from the Omaha Royals two weeks ago and, although he was close last night, he has yet to win a game in the majors this season.
For eight and a third innings Busy scratched, clawed and chewed his way through the Boston lineup. He gave up 10 hits but consistently pitched his way out of jams. In the ninth, the Red Sox took advantage of the tiring Busy and the poor defense of Giannis Jusniewski for seven hits and six runs to break a tie and the Rivals.
Busby, who is coming back from a
rotator cuff injury to his right shoulder and a pair of knee operations, left the game to a standing ovation from the crowd, which sensed a victory.
"That left me with a lump in my throat," Busby said. "That's what keeps me going."
The crowd was somewhat more subdued when the battered Quisenberry trudged off the mound four hits and four runs later.
David Stapleton hammered a single to right, scoring Hancock, and Fred Lynn snuck a single under the glove of a diving George Brett at third as Rick Burleson came in to score. Qusenberry left the mound, and Rawly Eastwick came in to try to snort off the Red Sox, but gave up two more runs.
Bushy gave up one run in the third innem when he walked Burleson, and Dave Stapleton singled to right, moving
"I was very fortunate, very lucky because I made a lot of mistakes early." Busy said. "I struck out Perez and Lynn both on sliders but I wouldn't want to make a living pitching against those guys."
Burlison to third, Fred Lynn hit a chopper to Busy's left, which he fielded. He looked to first, then wheeled him over and passed through passing homeniate, too late for the throw.
The Royals scored their run in the sixth when Wilde Wilson beat out an infield single, then moved to third on UL. Washington's single to center field. Brett then brought in Wilson with a deep sacrifice fly to right.
Steve Renko, former KU quarterback and pitcher, pitched the Royals through the evening, as did reliever Bob Stanley, who came on for Renko in the seventh. Stanley was credited with the win.
The Royals hold the hottest bats in the major leagues with a .289 average, but Renko and Stanley held them to just seven hits. Brett had two of them, raising his average to .386. He has now hit safely in a dozen straight games.
The Royals and Red Sox conclude the three-game series tonight with Dennis Leonard (10-8) pitching for the Royals and Dennis Eckersley (6-9) hurling for the Red Sox. Game time is 7:35 at Royals Stadium.
