Woman arrested for assault
A 33-year-old woman was arrested Sunday on charges of terroristic threats, disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer, and arrest, Lawrence police said yesterday.
According to police reports, a Lawrence police officer was buying a newspaper at 930 Massachusetts St. about 4:15 p.m. on Friday and told him to tell him out of her way.
The woman began yelling at the officer and threatened him, police said. The officer started to arrest her, and she continued to yell at him. Another officer helped the first officer arrest her, police said.
The two officers handcuffed the woman and took her to the Douglas County Judicial-Law Enforcement Building where she was locked into jail on $3,200 bond.

Clarification
Because of a reporter's error, a story in Friday's Kansan reported that Roshann Parris, director of the Graduate Student Council, said the group had lobbed its objection to five fawns instead of lobbying for a bigger salary increase or more GTA positions.

THREE BROTHERS, Ark. — The leader of a paramilitary white supremacist group and four followers surrendered yesterday, ending a four-day siege at a sprawling Ozark campground where officers uncovered a "small but very effective bomb factory."
James Ellison, head of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, surrendered peacefully and was arraigned on arson and illegal weapons charges in U.S. District Court in Fort Smith, Ark., where he declared that God instructed him to surrender so he could refute the charges "because they are not true."
A detention hearing was scheduled today to determine bond for Ellison.
being held in Fort Smith for arraignment today.
TWO OF Ellison's followers who surrendered, Randall Evans and Thomas Bentley, were wanted in Seattle, Wash., where they were indicted April 15 in the trial of a radio boom radio talk show host in Denver who was gunned down in front of his home.
Four others arrested with Ellison were
The two also are charged with conspiracy for two armed robberies, counterfeiting, two arson attempts in Seattle, two attempted bank frauds, and dealing in stolen money, authorities said.
On Friday federal agents surrounded the main settlement of the CSA camp, on a dirt road near the center of the compound on Bull Shoals Lake near the Missouri-Arkansas border, and negotiated Ellison's surrender until yesterday.
Upon entering the 224-acre compound, the agents found the makings of a bomb factory and confiscated hand-grenade casings, dynamite, black powder, blasting caps and fuses, said Jack Killiorn, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
"WE FOUND the makings of a small but very effective bomb factory," Killorin said.
Two other followers who surrendered, James Wallington and Jefferson D. Butler, were being held pending charges for alleged firearms violations, authorities said.
The five men, who surrendered outside the boundary of the camp, were taken to the Baxter County sheriff's department in Mountain Home, Ark.
On Saturday night, David C. Tate, 22, of Abol, Idaho, a member of The Order, an American non-profit organization.
Aryan Nations Church, was arrested in Forsyth, Mo., following a five-day manhunt.
Tate was being held in Springfield, Mo., without bond on charges of killing a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper on April 15 with a submachine gun.
During the intense manhunt through the Ozark foothills for Tate, the CSA camp was under periodic surveillance. A search last weekend of two-thirds of the paramilitary camp turned up items that linked the CSA with The Order.
The CSA and The Order are closely tied to such anti-Jewish and anti-black groups as the Ku Klux Klan. They believe non-white and Jews should be separated from white Christians, and claim to be preparing for a guerrilla war that they believe will follow the collapse of society.
Celebration set to honor Shakespeare
By PEGGY HELSEI Staff Reporter

The quiet halls of the Spencer Research Library are an unlikely place to have a party — unless the celebration is for the birthday of William Shakespeare.
Hushed whispers, usually the only sound heard in the library, will be replaced today by Renaissance music and lively discussion of Shakespeare's works during the "party" sponsored by the department of English and the University libraries.
Shakespeare, whose plays such as "Julius Caesar" and "Romeo and Juliet" remain classics 421 years after his birth, was born on April 23, 1564.
The celebration is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. in the Spencer Research Library auditorium with a lecture by David M. Bergeron, professor of English. All activities are open to the public.
THE LECTURE, titled "Reading and Writing in Shakespeare's Romances," deals with four of the dramatist's last plays: "The Tale of Cinderella," "The Tale of Tale," and "Pericles." Bergeron said.
The four plays, generally called romances or tragic comedies, contain riddles given to the characters in letters or written form, Bergeron said.
The way the characters interpret the way Shakespeare might interpret her.
"All these images of reading and writing give us an image of the dramatist himself, how he interprets reading and writing." Bergeron said.
BERGERON SAID Shakespeare's works were as important today as they were in the era of the Renaissance.
"The interest is probably more active now than it has ever been, in terms of criticisms and productions of his plays," he said. Shakespeare's works have always been appreciated, but as simply because there are more people and more performing groups, he said.
After the lecture, an exhibit of early prints of Shakespeare's plays by the author will be displayed in the library.
Renaissance music performed by the Mixed Consort of the Collegium Musicum will provide additional entertainment for partygoers.
The exhibit contains several books printed from 1623 to 1785, said Alexandra Mason.
Advertisements by two English printers who waged a price war on Shakespeare's plays during the 1730's also will be on display, Mason said.
Robert Walker, the owner of a small printing shop, challenged a major printer, Jacob Tonson, in 1734 for the rights to print Shakespeare's plays, she said.
Bribery and name-calling resulted, but the argument over the rights to the popular playwright's works was not decided by a court, Mason said.
"They fought it out in the public marketplace, which was good for the market," she said. "They managed to get lots of cheap Shakespeare."

Tom Maupin, founder of an internationally recognized travel and tourism agency and a strong contributor to the Spencer Museum of Art, died of cancer Saturday at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kap
Mr. Maupin, 61, co-owner of Maupintour Travel Services, was a man of incredible ideas and a commissor of the arts, Paul Maupin, director of sales and marketing, said yesterday.
"He had an incredible mind," Kerstetter said. "Everbody remarked that he could instinctively fight his way to the bottom of any problem."

"He was really active in the arts, not only by giving money," Kerstetter said. "Tom
Jay Gates, director of the Spencer Museum of Art, said Mr. Maupin had helped the museum bring exhibits to Lawrence that were usually shown only in big cities.
IN THE LAST year, Mr. Maupin financed the exhibitions "Paris and the Modern Art"
and "Images of the Mind," a Chinese art display.
"These exhibitions were beyond the museum's capacity to bring to this region," Gates said. "Because of his support we were able to provide cultural services to this region which were the kinds of things that one could only associate with big cities."
Mr. Maupin had contributed about $35,000 to the art museum during the past year, he said.
Mr Maupin began work in the travel industry in 1948, about a year after he graduated from the University of Kansas.
In 1951, Mr. Maupin bought Down's Travel Agency, next to the Varsity Theatre in downtown Lawrence. He soon changed the name to Tom Maupin Tour Associates.
In 1955, Mr Maupin formed a partnership with Neil Mc caskey, who still runs the company.
He is survived by his mother, Margaret Maupin, of Hollister, Mo.
Services are scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence. The family suggests contributions be made to the Spencer Museum of Art or the American Cancer Society.
