Police investigate molestation reports
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
KU police are investigating three cases of sexual battery after incidents last week involving apparent molestations of female students.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker, police spokesman, said yesterday that the number of molestations reported last week was unusually high. Normally, she said, police only receive about two molestation reports each school year.
Longaker said police didn't know whether the three incidents last week were related.
On Thursday, Longaker said, a female student was sleeping on a concrete bench on the second floor balcony of Wescue. She awoke to find someone touching her.
In the latest case, a 29-year-old graduate teaching assistant was arrested Friday by police on a charge of sexual battery after an incident at Wescoe Hall on Thursday.
SHE CONFRONTED the man and told him that what he was doing was wrong. Longaker said, and the man agreed. The student asked how he did it. He gave her a name that was partially correct.
the name the man gave the student to find the teaching assistant.
Longaker said the teaching assistant was taken to police headquarters at Carruth-O'Leary Hall for questioning. After questioning, he was taken to the Judicial Law Enforcement Building, 11th and New Hampshire streets, where he was booked on the misdemeasurement of sexual battery
The student went to police and reported the crime. She worked with officers to compose a report.
Molestation is classified as sexual battery under Kansas law. Sexual battery is punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of up to $2,500 or both.
The teaching assistant was released Friday on a $1,000 recognize bond by Jean Shepherd, Douglas County associate district
judge. A first court appearance has been set for 11 a.m. Thursday.
Two other molestations were reported last week on campus. Police haven't arrested a suspect in either incident.
The first incident occurred Tuesday south of the Wescow Hall service drive and Hoch Auditorium, police said. A female student was arrested in lawn and awake to find a man molesting her.
The third case was reported to police Thursday. The incident occurred April 15. The victim, also a female student, reported being stabbed and about the incident Tuesday, Longaker said.
Animal unit is approved by Regents
By GREG LARSON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
MANHATTAN — Plans for building a new animal care unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center took a step Friday toward becoming reality.
The Board of Regents unanimously endorsed a Med Center recommendation to build a new animal care building.
Med Center officials now can ask a joint buildings and construction subcommittee of the Kansas Legislature for $290,000 to plan an care building, estimated to cost $5.5 million.
The existing care unit in Wahli Hall houses laboratory animals. It has been cited in U.S. department of Agriculture reports for the use of cages and improper storage of food and drugs.
Also, Med Center administrators said the Med Center might not be able to meet proposed changes in Department of Agriculture awards for animal care without a new building.
Since the report, the Med Center has tried to correct the problems. Workers have repaired a cracked floor, removed rust from some of the cages and increased cage cleaning services from five to seven days a week.
ROGER LAMBSON, vice chancellor for research and planning at the Med Center, said Friday that he did not know whether the legislative subcommittee would approve the planning money in a meeting next week with KU officials.
If the unit were accredited, research grants could be obtained more easily and the unit could operate under strict animal care standards.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said in the Regents' meeting that the Med Center had recommended a new building so the animal care unit could be accredited by the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care
The proposed changes include designating which hallways can be used by animal care workers when they are disposing of waste or taking dirty cages to be cleaned.
The Med Center could lose more than $4 million in research grants from the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore if it does not have a department of agriculture inspection in May.

Everything you ever wanted in a beer — and the least. That could
Moussy, a no-booze brow. Both have appeared recently on
the slogan of Metbrau, an extremely low-alcohol beer, or
market shelves in Lawrence.
Few at KU enthused by pseudo-brew
By SHARON ROSSE

First there was light beer, for drinkers watching their waistlines. Then low-alcohol beer for drinkers who didn't like beer's intoxicating effect.
Now the most recent step in the de-boozing of brew has hit supermarket shelves.
And it contains no alcohol.
Moussy, an imported Swiss beer, is sold as Rusty's Food Center, 23rd and Louisiana streets. The beer costs $4.29 for six 12-ounce bottles add contains 50 calories per bottle.
Mike Mooney, assistant manager of Rusty's,
said Friday that sales of Moussy were about
25 percent.
"But we almost have to have it on the shelf because there is some demand for it," he
Competing with Moussy for a share of the no-boose beer market is Metrabau, which has acquired the Super Store. 23rd Street and Naishtm Dyer Jr. stores, according to Al Long, the store's manager.
said "There are people who just like the taste of beer but don't want the alcohol."
Long said of Metbrau, "Well, it hasn't set the world or fire. I think its模样 slows me."
Mebraub costs $3.09 for six 12-ounce bottles. Each bottle contains 67 calories.
Metrabau, distributed by Kansas Beverage Distributors Co. of Topeka, also is advertised as non-alcoholic, but contains 0.3 percent alcohol by weight.
Although federal law classifies non-alcoholic beverages as those containing less than 0.5 percent alcohol by weight, the Kansas Cereal Malt Beverage law requires
stores to sell low-alcohol beverages only to those over 18.
Moe Swann, sales manager for Kansas Beverage Distributors Inc., said no-alcohol and extremely low-alcohol beers would have little appeal to students.
But he said some people might prefer a no-alcohol or low-alcohol beer for medical use, increasing age and drunken driving laws also might drive those who no-alcohol or low-alcohol beers, he said.
"It tastes watery," Wade Kordonoy, Dickinson, N.D., senior, said of the beers. "I would never buy it. Why buy beer if it doesn't get you drunk?"
Anika Peress, Mission Hills junior, said she
liked the taste of Moussie better than regular
bread.
"I would buy it if I just wanted to drink during the week," she said.
KANU raising money to aid public network
Staff Reporter
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
National Public Radio owes $7.2 million, and KANU-FM is helping to pay the debt.
The station is sponsoring Campaign for Excellence '85, an eight-day fund-raiser that runs through Saturday, to help pay its proceeds of the part of its proceeds to aid the nored NPR.
The station hopes to raise $80,000 and use
$14,000 of it to help pay NPR's debt, Al
Berman, KANU development director, said
yesterday.
TO HELP LOCAL public radio stations take in as much money as possible in their campaigns to aid NPR. Berman said, the national network had gathered 80 celebrities to take part in Public Campaign '85. The artists, entertainers, journalists and news reporters with NPR announcers to encourage listeners to call in donations to public radio stations
"The campaign is an ongoing effort in support of the arts and fine music," Berman said.
In 1983, local public radio stations agreed to underwrite the loan that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting granted to NPR to keep the network alive. he said.
The NPR event runs concurrently with the KANU fund-raiser.
Howard Hill, KANU station director, said that KANU listeners had been supportive and
that he expected them to help the station reach its goal.
"The people who listen to us all the time are very loyal and stay with us," he said.
Berman said national and local public radio had grown to depend more each year on listener contributions. KANU is no exception.
IN 1892, VANDALS cut support wires for KANU's tower on West Campus. The tower fell and was destroyed. Last year, about two years after the incident, the station resumed broadcasting at full power, Berman said.
The tower incident forced the station to work twice as hard to make up for lost座.
Contributions also help KANU increase the quality of its broadcasts. Berman said. With
money raised by listeners, the station built equipment that allows it to broadcast live without using expensive telephone lines.
The unit, which Berman was the only one in existence, was developed by station engineers. It has provided listeners with live shows from such places as the Jazzhaus.
"The money the listeners contribute goes right into things they can hear on the air." Berman said.
Throughout this week, he said, listeners will hear their favorite broadcasts as well as special programs. The specials include a broadcast of the British Broadcasting Corp. production of "Amadeus," a special live edition of "The American Past" and "A Night of Stars."
