State wrapping up Culture Farms case
一
Rv United Press International
TOPEKA — Lawyers for the state securities commissioner's office — which is trying to shut down operations of Culture Farms Inc. of Lawrence — yesterday completed most of their case without presenting testimony directed at a key question
The office of the securities commissioner contends a pyramid sales scheme is being operated by Culture Farms and other affiliated companies involved in production of Cleopatra's Secret cosmetics.
The cosmetics are made from milk-based bacterial cultures grown at home by private individuals. The securities commissioner's staff contends the firms have a pyramid sales scheme that makes its money from sale of culture-growing kits, rather than sale of cosmetics.
ATTORNEYS FOR the securities commissioner are faced off in an administrative hearing against a battery of lawyers representing Culture Farms and related companies and their officers. Throughout much of last year, they over a lengthy series of documents being offered as evidence by Craig Stancliffe, an attorney for the securities commissioner.
The hearing adjourned for the day, with Stanliffe planning to review another box of documents to decide if any should be offered as evidence. He said he did not intend to present any more witnesses unless something unforeseen was found in the documents.
It was expected lawyers for Culture Farms and the other respondents would begin presenting their case sometime today.
A key question of the case — whether Culture Farms has been selling unregistered securities — was never addressed by witnesses presented by the securities commissioner's office.
Larry Christ, another attorney for the office, said that was not necessary. He said a determination of what Culture Farms was selling would be more a question of law than a question of fact. He said that would be addressed in final arguments.
The state is contending the sale to consumers of "activator kits" for growing cultures constitutes sale of securities under the law. He said the sale includes a guaranteed return on the investment when the grown cultures are purchased by Culture Farms.

Final days of classes serve many purposes
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
Some students end the semester a few days early, but many use the last days of classes to squeeze in points for attendance and last-minute information for finals.
"Our instructor told us we could pick somewhere to go like Clinton Lake," she said. "So we picked it." And of the class was to work together.
Other students have professors who make the last classes so appealing that even the most advanced students are willing to attend.
"We're all different, and you wouldn't expect us to socialize together, but we got to the point where we could go out."
Mona Paden, Overland Park freshman, said one of her classes at met Johny's Tavern, 401 N 2k and 35th instead of having a regular class.
Jane Padfield, St. Louis senior said one of her classes yesterday
had its final outside during a picnic.
"We got to know each other in that class," she said. "It was a good way to say goodbye."
But some students aren't so fortunate.
Julie Talman, Overland Park sophomore, said yesterday that she has classes today because she rarely has classes to them during the semester.
"He takes attendance and I need the points," she said.
Janie Swiatowski, Wichita freshman, also said she might have used up her chances to miss any more classes this semester.
"It's been difficult to get myself there," she said. "I have to go now."
Edward Reidy, St. Louis sophomore, said some of his professors had scheduled quizzes or tests for the class to pass as a test to make sure everyone came.
"But some of them don't care," he said. "They expect that students won't come to the last class if they don't have to."
