This means that city officials will have to work more when they make citations, said Jerry Little, city prosecutor.
"We will have to work with the fire department on gathering more facts instead of issuing a citation as soon as they see someone smoking." Little said.
Steffes said he did not expect a municipal court to rule in his favor on an issue as big as constitutionality.

"I would have hated to be in the judge's shoes on this one," Steffes said. "He had to rule on constitutionality in municipal court, which is essentially a traffic court."
Steffes said he planned on appealing the case in district court.
"We have the opportunity to appeal the ruling," Steffes said. "The judge's ruling gives us the grounds to continue the case in a higher court."
Harland Cope, 82-year-old Hawaii resident and former Battenfeld Scholarship Hall resident, visited Lawrence and the University of Kansas last weekend. Cope came to Kansas to attend his nephew's 40th wedding anniversary celebration, which was held in Chanute.

"It happily reminds me of an old Korean legend, which views cranes as symbols of nobility, serenity and peace," said Jong Woo Han, a former KU student.
Two vintage military aircraft from the Korean War flew over Memorial Stadium and the Campanile to begin the dedication ceremony. Members of ROTC then posted the colors before the playing of the national anthems of both the United States and the Republic of Korea.
During the dedication, Chancellor Robert Hemenway told the story of Jack A. Davenport, a former KU student who was killed in the Korean War on Sept. 21, 1951, two weeks after his 20th birthday. Davenport was standing watch of a foxhole with another Marine and smothered a grenade with his body, saving his fellow Marine's life.
"All of these students deserve our humbled thanks this morning and every morning." Hemenway said. The memorial joined the University's existing memorials, which include the Kansas Memorial Union and Memorial Stadium for World War I, the Campanile for World War II, and the Vietnam Memorial, in remembrance of those who gave their lives for freedom.
Jake Simonitsch, a Korean War veteran from Independence, Mo., who attended the dedication said he thought it was about time the Korean War was recognized at the University.

memorial, why not recognize the Korean War," he said. "It was the same way in D.C. You have a wall recognizing Vietnam, but it wasn't until about five years later they decided to do something about the Korean War."
It wasn't until 2003 that the University received an initial $30,000 gift to begin fundraising for the memorial.
"They already had a Vietnam
The gift came from Yong L. Kim, chairman of QMD International in Kansas City, Mo. Kim, who was 12 when the war began, said he made his donation when he heard about the University's difficulties in raising the money. He said he wanted to show his appreciation for what the veterans of the war did for freedom.
The University received the rest of the $120,000 needed to begin construction from other donors who live in the Kansas City area and Korea. Han, President of the SungKok Journalism Foundation in Seoul, South Korea, said his contribution to the memorial was small compared to sacrifices made by those who gave their lives.
Han spent three years at the University as a graduate student following the Korean War. He said he was glad he was able to contribute to the memorial in memory of those who died.
Hall's first resident returns
"Without their sacrifice, the South Korea we know today would neither exist nor enjoy the peace, prosperity, freedom and democracy it does today," he said.

1944 graduate comes home to Battenfeld

Harland Cope was the first resident to step into Battenfeld Scholarship Hall in 1940. Sixty-five years after he graduated from the University of Kansas, he relived his college days with the residents of Battenfeld.
Cope, 82, visited Lawrence from Hawaii because his nephew, Gary Kilgore, had his 40th wedding anniversary in Chanute. Cope said he wanted to see the Korean War Memorial as well because he was in the Navy for more than 30 years.
Even though Cope arrived Friday and left yesterday, he made the most of his visit. He stayed at Battenfield, located on the eastern edge of campus, and talked with a dozen residents about life at the University.
But before arriving at Battenfeld, Cope unintentionally took a tour of the campus on Friday as well.
"It took me an hour to drive around campus looking for Battenfeld." Cope said.
He said he remembered the living room at Battenfeld, where students used to sing songs.
Cope, a Kansas man, grew up in Greensburg, in southwestern Kansas, and then became familiar with Lawrence during his college years. It had been 30 to 40 years since his last visit to the University. He said he found a sign to Templin Hall and thought he was close to his destination. Templin Scholarship Hall, which was razed in 1959, used to be next to Battenfeld.
"The building just looks fantastic," Cope said. "It's 65 years old, but you couldn't tell from looking at it."
different in the scholarship hall. Residents had separate rooms for homework and sleeping. Cope lived with three people in room 12, which had two desks and one chair. There were about 25 other smaller rooms with double decker beds, Cope said. Battenfeld has four people who share a living room as before, but now it has more room for sleeping arrangements.
Living arrangements used to be
"It was much more formal," Cope said.
Formality in Battenfeld came from Mother Montgomery, Cope said. As the house mother, Montgomery planned meals and disciplined the men of Battenfeld Hall. Residents took turns escorting Montgomery to
the dinner table. Once she was seated, no one picked up a knife to start eating before she did.
Montgomery was such an influential figure that Cope started the Florence Montgomery Memorial Scholarship in her name.
Cope said he arranged to meet up with two people from the class of 1944 during his trip. He said he saw two of his classmates, Jay Gunnels, and a woman named Scottie. Cope said he did not know her last name. He remembered taking classes with Gunnels, but did not recall Scottie, who lived in Corbin Hall. Cape still talked to Scottie about the functions that Battenfeld had with Corbin.
"I didn't know her, but I said that I remember dancing with her," Cope joked.
Jesse Haug, Atchison sophomore, got the opportunity to meet Cope last weekend. He was a recipient of the Montgomery Scholarship. Haug said he was honored to talk to the man responsible for the scholarship he had earned. He said he received about $1,200 this year from the scholarship.
"I could definitely see him living in Battenfeld," Haug said. "Everyone who comes through this hall loves it, and I guess that hasn't changed in 65 years."
