Court Case Rise Linked To City Police Increases
By MARSHA SEARS
Kansan Staff Writer
Since 1968, the number of cases heard yearly by the Lawrence Municipal Court has almost doubled. Kulsaen, assistant city manager, the court heard 8,328 cases in 1968 and 6,311 cases heard in 1971.
Kallen is collecting statistics from the last two or three years for a study of the city court system and the staff that could be completed in a week.
"Since the 100 per cent increase in the number of Lawrence policemen, court cases have increased, astronomically." "More petty theft and traffic cases are brought to court now
"THE MUNICIPAL Court is now setting cases for May 23." The Municipal Court is held only on Friday, so you may more nights and only eight or nine days are scheduled for each day. When you try to operate a court on the same time schedule for twice the number of days, handle, you can set your case.
The solution to the city court's problem probably will be to schedule more court time, Kalsen said.
Gerald Cooley, city prosecutor,
said court cases had increased
because people are more closely
connected to police and more
arrests are made.
'THEE ARE more policemen now since the citizens of Lawrence voted last July for a law to prevent them from finance additional fire and police
protection." Cooley said.
Not only arrests, but also the number of crimes has increased faster than population growth, he said.
"The high incident rate doesn't seem to diminish. Those who are caught represent a small portion of the population, are actually stealing," he said.
People are experiencing a
painful day. They are a pain and a
pict of pain usually. Usually
the person who was arrested
must wait two months for a trial,
or face charges.
CHARLES C. RANKIN
Juvenile Court Judge, said
human fractures are one reason
the long period between an
arrest is needed.
He said it was often difficult to find a mutual date when all the persons involved in a case can come to court. Sometimes witnesses are out of town and in the trial to be postponed, he said.
A person charged with a misdemeanor can expect a two month wait before his case is heard in court.

Camping Over Spring Break Offers Cheap Ways for Fun
By CLARK ANDERSON
Kansan Writer
Camping out is almost a necessity unless you want to pay the 2 dollar a day rates at resort or camp for a few dollars per week or free, but get there on a Friday or you will never get a chance. You need to be careful need can be carried in a car trunk along with your food. Supplies should include a tent, sleeping bag, water bottle, cool water, water coolers, water jugs, cooking pots and pans, plates and cups, and a cover for the car to save it from rain.
If you've decided that there is no way you're going to go home and watch the sun rise, then spend your spring break watching ocean waves
Food should be bought ahead of time, because prices are higher in the summer. You can choose cooked meals that can just be heated in a covered pot and eat, because anything else you can get a lot of sand in it, and after a week, grit is not too appetizing. Take your vegetables, meat, and salad for the soup spoilage. Get a gas or charcoal stove to cook on because chances are there will be a campfire and what you do find you will want for night camping in hot dogs and beer are great for parties, but don't pitch your cans all over the kitchen if you wan
