A footnote to the program notes that after nine years of legal proceedings, no convictions have been made for any of the killings.
"What happened and the sequence and the order of the events, they did a good job of portraying," Ambler said.
"It was obvious they had done a lot of research," he said.
He said that a speech by Glenn Frank, a professor who dispersed a crowd of students, preventing more killings, was taken word for word.
GILES SAID that he had seen still pictures of the hot and the same camera angle was responsible.
"I thought it was very faithful to my recollection of what happened," he said.
John Bollard, assistant professor of political science who lived in Ohio for several years, said that the movie reinforced his beliefs about Gov. Rhodes and the general of the guard.
Ambler cited one factual error. He said that he was on campus the night the ROTC building was burned and that there was no rally that night.
A GROUP gathered around the building and it was set on fire, he said. Contrary to the movie's portrayal of the event, which showed outsiders who burned the said he thought the burning was premeditated.
Giles said that as far as he could remember, there were no helicopters or tear gas on that island.
"There was no real confrontation that involved tear gas until the next morning," he said.
Med students seek funds to meet recreational needs
By BRIAN LEVINSON Staff Reporter
More than 2,000 students at the University of Kansas Medical Center are still without their own recreational facility despite the efforts of both students and faculty members.
A. J. Yarmat, chairman of a committee develops proposals for such a facility, said his committee was outlining the Med Center's plan and did not come up with any specific proposals yet.
The one opportunity that the Med Center has to acquire a gymnasium failed last winter.
Cris Hartton, student union president, said, "A supermarket near the Med Center went out of business, and it looked like the perfect place for us to have a vrm."
HOWEVER, Yarmat disagreed with Corton's assessment of the store. He said it would not have been adequate because the ceilings were too low.
THE MED CENTER'S efforts to get the store were unsuccessful, but there was disagreement over why. Yarmat said another investor bought it first, but students said the Med Center got its bid in too late to be considered.
"Despite the setback, there is still a great
deal of support and interest from both the students and administration to get a 6750, "m."
Now, student committees run several programs at a nearby YMCA to provide Med Center students with some recreational opportunities.
THE STUDENTS put most of their efforts into these YMCA programs because there is little hope of getting any state funding for their own gymnasium in the near future.
Yarmat said, "Getting a gym is a high parity, but we don't know where the money will come."
Terry Wall, president of the medical students assembly, said, "Right now, the last thing we want is another fee increase. We are still pretty upset about the library fee."
THE STATE is funding 80 percent of the cost of a new library at the Med Center and is requiring students to apply the other 20 percent through an increase in student fees.
Wall said the medical students had given up
their education to receive funds for a gym from the
Legislature.
YARMAT SAID the Med Center branch of the Kansas University Endowment Association and the University of Kansas Alumni Association had both expressed an interest in helping to raise funds for a gymnasium.
The Douglas County Arson Squad is waiting for final reports from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation laboratory and the Douglas County Coroner's office before making any statement about the Jan. 31 fire that killed a Lawrence man and his wife.
Arson squad waiting for reports on fire
Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSwan said yesterday that when investigators received the reports, the squad and District Attorney Mike Balsone would issue a joint statement concerning the circumstances surrounding the fire. He said the reports might not be available until next week.
A state fire marshal confirmed last week that the fire, which caused $10,000 damage to the house, was started by a neighbor.
Investigators said earlier that the Popes died from smoke inhalation.
Marks on Mrs. Pope's neck were matched with a portion of rope found in the house, Malone said last week. Laurence Price, Douglas County Coroner, determined the marks to be rope burns.
Authorities said there were no indications that anyone other than the Pope was in the house but that they were not there.
Last week, investigators said that evidence collected from the house contained traces of kerosene.
McSwin said several investigators were taken off the case yesterday. As many as 10 investigators have been working on the case. McSwin said investigators would be assigned on an individual basis as more information was received.
By the end of last week, investigators had spent 565 hours on the investigation, McSwain said, and had followed 98 different leads.
Lecompton tries to rebuild on days of state prominence
By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
The Douglas County town of Lecompont doesn't exist on most filling station maps.
Staff Reporter
People looking for Lecompton 124 years ago, however, had an easy time of it. The town, then Kansas' territorial capital, was prominently featured on survey drawings, while Lawrence, Topeka and even Wichita were nowhere to be seen.
Rural roads in the vicinity show up as thin black lines, finer than silk thread, twisting off into nowhere. Only smaller-scale county maps reveal Leptonom's location, nestled against the Kansas River about six miles northwest of Lawrence. In population, Leptonom is a pike compared to its rapidly expanding eastern neighbor.
SINCE ITS days as Kansas' territorial capital, Lecompton's statewide prominence has been slowly ground into the dust of history, a casualty of Kansas' anti-slavery bias before the Civil War. Sara Walters, a member of the Lecompton public society, said Lecompton's federal territorial jurisdiction to town a reputation as a pre-slavery base, deserts it from most of its residents did not own slaves and did not desire to. The legislature was later shifted to Lawrence, a noted free-state stronghold.
Today Lawrence is a burgeoning city of 50,000; the state capital of Topeka has 122,000 residents. Lecompte's population stands at barely 700, and is declining at a slow but steady rate.
Lecompton has two buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, according to Julia Springer, society president. Those are Lane University, a building originally intended as the Kansas State Capitol, and Constitution Hall, which the Constitution was written in 1857. A slavеy document, the Constitution further enhanced Lecompton's pro-slavery reputation.
"Nevertheless, Lecompte is of great historical value,"女士 said. "We're doing all we can to note it."
LANE, FOUNDED in 1828 as one of Kansas' first liberal arts colleges, has absorbed almost $25 million of state, federal and private funds for a renovation. The school was renamed denomed lestonium hulk in 1928, had to have
“truckloads” of silt, rock and other debris hauled out their construction renovation effort could take up to a million square feet. And salt deposits.
"It's been a long, hard road," she said, "but we're beginning to see the light.
"We hope to open up Lane again fairly soon, and we go over all the work the builders have done."
Dale Eisenhower, Dwight D. Eisenhower's father, met his Ida Stover while attending Lane, and they were married here in Lecompte," she said. "Since the university was originally located at Easton, he would have to have David Eisenhower, Ice's son, come to its rededication in 1982." Springer said.
SPRINGER SEES a bright future for the imposing three-story structure, whose interior is refurbished and repaired to resemble the university's original decor.
"We intend to use Lane as a museum for some of its old artifacts." Springer said. "We've got some 70-80 Lane books, some old dresses, lantens, flour sifters and various memorabilia."
Springer and Walter were emphatic in their detention. Lane's ruined state before the remodelers moved.
"The university itself moved out in 1903," Walter said, "and the Lecompton high school occupied it until 1928, when a high school was built. After that, the building stood vacant.
"You wouldn't believe the damage that was done to that structure during World War II. What happened? Why any scrap lumber, they'd come from the surrounding counties to scavenge the lumber in Lane.
"After the war, there are no ceilings left, no balconies, no stairways. It's a three-story building and you could barely walk on the main floor because of the holes in it."
THE NEAR-COMPLETION of the Lane project has been one of the spurs behind the establishment Charles Wright's efforts to obtain an Interstate 70 turnpike interchange for county route 1029.
Wright, former State Rep. John Vogel and Lawrence city manager Buford Watson have been pushing the Legislature to provide $80,000 for an interchange feasibility study.
Watson said the Senate had already approved the study, but that the House had not scheduled it.
