Flory, district attorney, and he would decide whether to file charges against the participants, Longaker said.
Flory said that neither his office nor the general's office had received compliance complaints.
"The KU police have done some preliminary investigations and I have asked them to continue to monitor the situation." Flory said. "I've asked them to be aware of the

problem and forward any information they have to me. But at this point, I have no plans to undertake an investigation unless a complaint is filed."
The scheme that has circulated on campus requires investors to pay $10 for a letter, a deposit of the amount paid and then
The letter claims that if the process continues unbroken, the investor will receive $10.000 for a $20 investment.
Scudder said that since Jan. 1, when the Nebraska drinking age was raised, he had seen more non-alcoholic parties off campus and more students in residence hall rooms.
But he said that although more students were drinking in private, a change seemed to be taking place outside.
Liquor in residence halls is not allowed, Scudder  but many students sneak inside.
After big campus parties were stopped by the administration, Scudder said, students had to find other activities to fill their weekends.
A NEW STUDENT recreation center is being promoted on the NU campus to provide an alternative to drinking. Another push toward non-drinking parties was made by the greek system on scund. Scudder said.
Private parties are popular at some of the campuses with legal drinking ages of 21, but students still try to find fake identification cards to get them into bars.
AT MU, Craig said, it's easy for underage students to get into bars.
"It's not hard to borrow an ID from a friend or have someone go into the bar before you and pass it back to you," she said.
ABOUT ONCE AN moll, police usually go into bars to ask patrons for IDs, she said.
Flapjacks fly in Liberal, but England wins again
By United Press International
LIBERAL — A local housewife was beaten by only one second by her counterpart in Oline, England, in the 36th annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race, which marked the start of Lent.
Marcia Streiff, 27, ran the course through town in 65 seconds. Sally Swallow flipped her flapbacks as she slid across the ocean on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
As they have for 35 years, women garbed in headscarves, skirts and aprons celebrated a 600-year-old English legend by running 415 yards from the market square to the churchyard, flipping pancakes in frying pans at the start and finish.
The footrace began at 11:55 a.m. local time in each city, which means the Olney race was run six hours before the Liberal race. Liberal women, who now lead the trans-Atlantic series 19-16, had hoped to avenge their defeat in last year's run.
SWALLOW, AN 18-year-old trainee in accounting for a local doctor, completed
the S-shaped course in 1:94, a tenth of a second better than the time posted last year by 17-year-old Louise Fitzgerald, but about six seconds slower than the record of 58.5 seconds set by Olney's Sally Ann Faulkner in 1975.
"They certainly don't look like Zola Budd," said John Hanson, organizer of the race.
There were 17 runners in today's race in Olney. They ranged in age from 17 to 40.
Women on both sides of the Atlantic who enter the race must flip a pancake in their hands.
ENGLISH LEGEND dates the race back to 1445, when an Olney housewife who hurriedly was preparing pancakes before Ash Wednesday found herself interrupted by church bells tolling a Shrove Tuesday service, in which people confessed and were pardoned of their sins.
The housewife, trying to get rid of cooking fat, forbidden during the Lenten period, reportedly ran from her home to the cottle, still flipping pancakes on her griddle.

The bill originally punished anyone under 21 who possessed, consumed, purchased or attempted to purchase any alcoholic beverage in a state where revocation of the person's driver's license.
BARR'S SUBCOMMITTEE decided to remove the driver's license penalty and reduce the penalty for possessing or drinking alcohol. The panel also added the choice of doing community service instead of paying a fine.
For drinking or possessing alcohol, a minor would face a minimum $25 fine or 10 hours of community service, Barr said.
In addition the panel set up stricter penalties for buying or attempting to buy furniture.
For minors who bought or tried to buy alcohol, the panel added an alternative of 40 hours of community service to the minimum $100 or maximum $250 fine.
She said the panel's changes were in part a response to the planned increase in the state's legal drinking age.
"Do you take that right away and then hit the head with a sledgehammer?" Barr asked.
John Lamb, director of the state's Alcohol Beverage Control Division, told the committee that, even as amended, the bill was stricter than existing laws.

A TRIBUTE TO THE SUPPLY-SIDE ELIXIR
Because the supply-side elixir is a potent concoction which leaves those who succumb to it articulate and animated but unable to realistically assess, members of the supply-side contingent consider productive only privately-financed undertakings designed to yield a profit. Thus supply-siders are adamantly opposed to both governmental attempts to regulate entrepreneurial activity and assist those in need.
At Kansas University's Conference on U.S. Business and Economic Relations with Eastern Europe almost three years ago, one excited supply-sider, Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige, informed the assembled governmental, academic, and business experts that a mid-year economic recovery would end capitalism's historical cycle of recession, recovery accompanied by high rates of inflation, high interest rates caused by inflation, and recession caused by inflation. Of course, Secretay Baldrige's prophecy-which, in the March 31st, 1982 editions of the Journal-World and the University Daily Kansan I called a "revelation...known only to the full-fledged, visionary (which) will soon go the way of the once oft-mentioned balanced budget"-proved to be incorrect.
President Reagan, an even more prominent casualty of the supply-side elixir, recently offered convincing evidence of his weakened state when he told a cheering group of political appointees: "It's been a tremendous four years. And I'm feeling absolutely bullish on the next four. I was just thinking the other day that in our first administration we made history. In our second we can change history forever."
Messrs. Reagan, Baldrige and the rest of the supply-sider herd apparently thank that a millennium (which one dictionary defines as "a period of prevailing virtue or happiness or perfect government of freedom from familiar ills and imperfections of human existence") will arise out of unregulated economic growth. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that the Reagan Administration has been unable to lower taxes, slow governmental growth, reduce inflation, watch the ranks of the unemployed swell to a record number, and begin to return power to the states and communities; by almost doubling our national debt and ignoring the poor, unfortunate, elderly, and dependent young among us.
As industrial pollution continues, the number of homeless increases and the criminal control large sections of every metropolitan area; President Reagan persists in thinking his primary duty is to create a legal framework within which entrepreneurial efforts are fruitful and the elite acquire.
For instance, according to the January 21st New York Times, while Reagan Administration officials "said today that, as part of the President's effort to reduce the defect, they had decided to reduce Federal support for biomedical research this year below the levels intended by Congress...cutbacks (which) would affect the full range of research supported by the health institutes, including the studies of cancer, heart didease, arthritis, immunology, cell biology, molecular genetics, neurological disorders and stroke"; not an official voice was raised about the private lawyers mentioned in the January 27th Journal-World who, by charging "as much as $285 per hour, have collected at least $50 million from the federal government in the last two years."
The January 28th issue of Newsweek magazine contains an article entitled "A Great President?" in which Robert Remini, the biographer of Andrew Jackson, says: "A (great) president has to demonstrate a sense of compassion. He has to show that he wants the blessings of this country shared by all the people." As this standard is one of what Newsweek considers "the best enduring principles of American democracy", doesn't it follow that those politics now taken with the supply-side elixir soon will be consigned to oblivion?
