Weekend car-windshield vandalisms investigated
Four automobiles were vandalized this weekend in University of Kansas parking lots
The windshields of four cars were broken by an unknown individual or individuals between 10:30 p.m. Friday and 12:50 p.m. Saturday, the KU Office of Public Safety said.
A facilities operations motor-pool-department vehicle was the first car found to have a broken windshield. It was parked in the lot in front of Hashinger Hall. The car's intended driver notified the KU Office of Public Safety and an officer was dispatched.
After the KU police officer arrived at the scene, he discovered broken windshields on a Louisburg woman's car and a Pt. Collins, Colo. man's car in the same parking lot.
A Lawrence resident's car windshield was found to be broken less than a block away in the parking lot in front of Ellsworth and McCollum halls.
KU police officer Tony Agusto said that the crimes still were being investigated by University police and declined to say whether any suspects had been identified.
Music campers found with alcohol, marijuana
Five teen-age participants in the Midwestern Music Camp allegedly possessed alcoholic beverages and one teen-ager allegedly possessed drug paraphernalia July 6 at Hashing Hall, the KU Office of Public Safety said.
One 15-year-old male and four females aged 14 to 17 were found to be in possession of an alcoholic beverage in Hashinger Hall by residence-hall staff members at 9:30 p.m. last Monday, police said.
Upon further investigation, two marijuana pipes were found in the male suspect's residence hall room, police said.
The alcoholic beverage and marijuana pipes were confiscated and placed into evidence by the KU Office of Public Safety.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said that campus police completed reports and referred the cases to the Douglas County district attorney. Because several of the teens involved are not Kansas residents, criminal charges remain uncertain.
"Apparently, the male suspect purchased the alcohol and then distributed it to the females in 1/5 portions." Mailen said.
Mailen said that parents of the teens were notified by camp officials and that the teens then were released from the camp. University of Kansas police were called to the camp again on Saturday night when a 16-year-old female returned to Hashinger Hall intoxicated, apparently returning from a house party in Lawrence.

KU public-administration receives housing grant
The University of Kansas will receive a $60,000 grant from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development for a community development work-study program
The department of public administration will receive the grant this fall, said Marion Goodell, administrative director of the
department of public administration.
Goodell said that the grant would be dispersed to three minority public-administration graduate students who are members of low-income families.
Goodell said that the students would receive up to $5,000 a year for tuition and would receive a stipend for internships in a city or county manager's office located within an hour of Lawrence.
The grant enables valuable work experience. Goodell said.
"It provides opportunities to women and minorities for public service," she said.
The department has received the HUD grant clearout number 1993
grant almost every year since 1983. The grant is part of $3.6 million in HUD grants that will be dispersed primarily to colleges and universities, according to a Friday press release from HUD.

Few details available in armed home invasion
LAWRENCE
Lawrence police have released little new information regarding the July 7 home invasion at 804 Murrow Court.
At 10:08 p.m., Lawrence police responded to a call from a resident of the house, who said that one or two armed men had entered his home, Sgt. Mark Warren said.
Officer Matt Sarna said that the suspects, two white males, left the house before police arrived. The suspects, who are wanted for home invasion and aggravated robbery, have not been identified.
Police arrested one of the residents of the house that night.
Sarma said he could not say whether drugs were involved in the home invasion.
The man, a 20 year-old Lawrence resident, was arrested on one count of LSD possession with intent to distribute.
"It could be a result of a dispute between acquaintances," he said. "It's a pretty
complex investigation."
—Ronnie Wachter
Sama said that something was stolen from the house but could not be more specific.
“There’s just a lot of stuff they can’t release right now.” Sama said.

Justice appeals ruling on agents' testimony
WASHINGTON — In a maneuver that could delay any Secret Service testimony in the Monica Lewinsky investigation, the Justice Department yesterday appealed a court decision that compelled officers who guard the president to testify before a grand jury.
The grand jury is investigating whether Clinton and former White House intom Nicaia Lewinsky lied under oath about having a sexual relationship and whether Clinton and others tried to obstruct the investigation.
Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr is seeking testimony from two uniformed Secret Service officers and an agency lawyer about what they or others learned while guarding Clinton.
In its appeal to the 11-member U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department argued that a president who could not trust his body guards would jeopardize his safety by keeping them at a distance. This argument failed to sway a three-judge appellate panel and a lower court judge.
If the full appeals court does not rehear the case, the Justice Department could ask the Supreme Court to consider it. The high court does not return from its summer recess until October.
Meanwhile, a government official speaking on condition of anonymity said Starr had subpoenaed the Secret Service for records that would detail President Clinton's activities and whereabouts at night on numerous dates between 1995 and 1997. CBS News first reported the request.
