Student receives award
A graduate student has received the Norman Plummer Outstanding Student Award from the Kansas Geological Survey and an outstanding student survey employee.
Chi-Kin Lam, a Hong Kong fifth-year graduate student in geophysics, was the first recipient of the award established in 1938. Survey staff member from 1939 to 1969.
Lam received the award based upon his doctoral dissertation, in which he is compiling and analyzing gravity data throughout Kansas. His study of gravity can be used to examine the subsurface of the earth, which may help geologists in their search for oil and natural gas.

The Alpha Tao Omega fraternity and the Delta Gamma sorority are sponsoring KU Greek Give to raise money for United Support of Artists for Africa.
David Allen, Shawnee Mission freshman and one of the coordinators of the event, said KU Greek Give was asking all Greek members to donate $1 or more to USA for Africa, a group that donates money to aid starving people in Africa.
The groups hope to raise at least $3,000. Allen said, but the total could reach $4,400 of all grecians participated. He said the group planned to have the money by April 28.
Allen said the two houses hoped the donaiser would become an annual event for various causes. Although each of the Greek houses has its own fundraiser, Allen said, the fraternity and sorority hope to匀ite the grecs for a combined benefit.

Green-ribbon group protests loss of tree
By PEGGY HELSEL Staff Reporter
Students yesterday tried tying green ribbons 'round the old oak tree in an attempt to renew opposition to the proposed site for a science library.
The students were protesting construction of the library, which is tentatively expected to be built in the wooded area between Hoch Auditorium and the Military Science Building. Construction may begin as early as the summer of 1987.
Greenepiece, an informal student group opposing the construction of the library, tied hundreds of feet of green ribbons around trees throughout campus. The group set up a table outside the Kansas Union yesterday to further call attention to their protest.
But it wasn't just oak trees receiving the ribbons = elms, redbuds and pines were the dwarfs.
"It WAS FUN," said Kirstin Myers, Shawnee sophomore and member of the group. "We got pretty much all of Jayhawk Boulevard with ribbons."
Todd Cohen, Alta Vista freshman and member of the group, said. "This is Kansas; this is not New York. We have room to expand.
Greenpeace is objecting to the location of the proposed library because it would entail the elimination of green space and a 50-foot Dutch elm tree in front of the military compound. The museum instead that Hoch Auditorium be renovated and the science library be located there.
The group also suggests that a new fine arts center to replace Hoch should be built on the site of the old library.

By United Press International
BRANSON, Mo. — An army of 225 law officers and four National Guard helicopters yesterday concentrated their search near a rock quarry in the Ozark wilderness for a white supremacist wanted in the slaying of a state trooper.
In what authorities termed their "first solid lead" in a 3-day manhunt for fugitive David C. Tate, a construction worker reported soft drinks and cookies missing from his truck parked in a quarry near a dam east of Branson.
"It itooks good," said Robert Davenport, special agent in charge of the FBI in Kansas City. Davenport said officers discovered footprints in the area, and the Missouri Highway Patrol rushed a special weapons and tactical squad to the scene.
"Our morale is soaring," said patrol LT Ralph Biele. "You've got to remember that one of our own has been killed. We want that man."

Authorities said that they were circulating posters of three other members of The Order but that they had no information that the fugitives were in the area.
More than 225 federal, state and local officers were searching a 100-square-mile area. Door-to-door searches of the scattered houses and cabins have been conducted.
Four National Guard helicopters — incl. two combat helicopters — yesterday joined ground forces.
"Until we get some kind of indication that he's out of the area, we're staying here," said Col. Howard Hoffman, superintendent of the Highway Patrol. "If these men wear out,
we've got more. We haven't even begun to tap the manpower that we could."
"WE NEED a break." Biele said. "We need a sighting. We need something to get the adrenaline pumping so that we know what we're doing is right."
The three associates were identified as Thomas Bentley, 57, Hayden Lake, Idaho; Richard Seutari, 27, Florida; and Randall Evans, 29, Los Angeles.
At a news conference yesterday, the team confiscated contents confiscated from Tava van Tan the team.

Police compose sketch of molestation suspect
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
KU police completed a composite sketch yesterday of a man who allegedly sexually molested a 28-year-old female student Tuesday afternoon. They have circulated the sketch among police.
Police will use the sketch in investigating the case and searching for the suspect.
The student told police she had been molested on the grass south of the Wescoe Hall service drive and south of the southwest corner of Hoch Auditorium. She came there to relax and enjoy the nice weather and had fallen asleep, she told police.
She said she awoke about 2:30 p.m. to find herself being sexually molested, which is classified as sexual battery under Kansas law.
SGT. JOHN BROTHERS of the KU police department said police gave patrolmen a description of the suspect shortly after the student reported the incident. Police canvassed the area but did not find the suspect.
which police were able to make the composite sketch.
When the woman awakened, she said, the man filmed the area. The student then went to the KU police department to notify the police officer that he had provided a description of the man, from
The man was described as a white male in his early 20s, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. He had short hair and a fair complexion, having a T-shirt and blue jeans, police said.
Sexual battery is punishable with up to one year in jail or a fine of up to $2,500 or both Brothers said sexual battery only occurred on campus about twice a year.
"When we get a call from a victim, our first priority is to be sure the victim is OK and to make sure there's no physical harm." Brothers said. "If the report is close enough to the time of the occurrence, officers go to the area and check it out."
In other sexual crimes on campus, he said, two rapes had been reported since last fall.

The inside is soft and airy, like water rushing through the smooth part of a shell. The outside is bold, and its surface rough and rigid. The entire garment appears to flow by itself down the runway.
The garment, a double woven cotton coat valued at $500 by its designer, is one of the handmade garments that will be modeled at the fashion/Textile Fashion Show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union
The show, named "The Clothes Line," will feature handmade creations by fine arts students, many of whom are textile design majors, Robin Stevens, Fort Scott senior and textile design major, said yesterday at the show's rehearsal.
Stevens arranged the fashion show was an annual event arranged by the Textile Club, a group for textile design majors, as a way to display students' work.
'WE WANT TO make students more aware that there is a textile department at the university.'
The students usually spend months designing and producing garments from silk, linen, cotton and other fabrics
Kathy Doughy, Chicago senior, said most of the original garments began as plain white pieces of yarn or fabric. Doughy, who lives in New York City and pink shawl she plans to model Saturday.
"This shawl gives a shell effect as it wraps around the body," she said. "Some of the yarn was dyed before I wove it, and some of the shawl was painted."
Stevens said the textile club planned to present 35 garments on Saturday. Dresses, to be worn by guests, will be
The pieces may or may not be for sale, Stevens said. The decision rests with the designer, whose price may be high, she said.
One bright Oriental costume, flecked with blue and turquoise, will be modeled by Stevens, who said she would be carrying Oriental body fans for an added effect.
"Most of these garmarins take about 50 minutes to arrive," she said, and that doesn't include an escort.
The textile designer has a number of choices to make before beginning work on a garment, Doughty said. Garments that are not woven are either painted or printed.
