Wheeling-dealing pays for local skate rental
By LAUREL RANSOM Staff Reporter

KU students discovered a new form of four wheel transportation when Mercury Skate rentals opened.
Blake Morgan, Topeka junior, and his red, 78 camper-covered Chevy truck filled with 55 pairs of skates, opened for business last Saturday.
But, downtown opposition last year to skaters in the area threatened the venture.
The full-time KU student bought the skates in 1979 thinking it would be a good way to support himself through school.
LAST SPRING, Morgan said, he was downtown during the afternoon renting skates. But, he added, the businessmen were receiving complaints from shoppers about the skaters so the Downtown Lawrence Association sent a letter to the City Commission complaining about him.
The city staff then decided to write a new ordinance prohibiting human-powered vehicles downtown.
"The police closed me down for four days right at the end of last spring semester, and it was a real drag," Moran said.
At the next City Commission meeting, Morgan said he would compromise and wait until 5 p.m. to open downtown on weekdays.
This year when Morgan went to renew his license, the assistant chief of
police said that the ordinance was never passed.
"Business is great so far," Morgan said as he rolled along the sidewalk near his truck. "There are some hardcore skaters who like to throw the Frisbee around while they skate. There's a Frisbee game called Ultimate, and on skates, it's incredible."
"How was it?" Morgan asked.
AS MORGAN was talking, four young women and a little girl skated back to the truck, almost out of breath.
How was it. Not gon make?
"It it was great," Terri Oldham,
Bonner Springs freshman, said
Another added, "The ramps on the beach are great."
The outdoor skates Morgan rents are designed for places like Wesco Beach, with polyurethane wheels that glide over any bumps or cracks in the concrete.
BOTH CAMPUS and downtown skating have their good points, Morgan said.
Morgan said he rented the skates
"cheap," $1.50 for the first hour and $1
for each additional hour.
But, he added, downtown is fun because there are "lots of places to stop in and have a beer."
His hours are: Weeknights on Massachusetts Street from 5 p.m. to midnight. And weekends, on 13th and University Boulevard, Saturday, noon to midnight, and Sunday, noon to 10 p.m.

Borealis glows over Midwest
Star gazers and shuttle searchers are more than they expected in the sky Sunday.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, cast a红 glow across much of the Midwest, and as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. It was only the second or third time this century that such a phenomenon had occurred.
Officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colo., said yesterday that the predigmatically red glow was seen in two-thirds of the nation. Oregon and Nebraska residents reported seeing greens, oranges and faint yellows, as well.
Many people mistook the glow for UPOs. One man in Louisiana said the cloud was shooting spotlights at his horse, swearing that UPOs were after him.
A Minnesota woman told the National UFO Reporting Center in Portland, Ore., that red and white beams of light
came down to the ground near her house and receded into the sky.
Lawrence residents had their own theories, from UFOs to exhaust from the space shuttle.
KU Information received six calls about the glow from 10 to 12 p.m. Sunday, Pat Kehde, coordinator of information, said.
"People called in to report a 'red sky,' she said. "First, we said 'sure' but after more people called, we asked KU police what was going on."
Ron Patrick, KU weather forecaster,
explained the phenomenon, although he
said the lights were not associated with
the weather or the shuttle.
He said the glow was the result of geomagnetic activity in the ionosphere caused by electrically excited particles of nitrogen and oxygen gasses.
He also said the sun was particularly active right now. The NOAA predicts more of the light display later this week as more solar activity occurs.
