Lawrence broadcasts support for KAW-FM
By Jeremy M. Doherty
Kansan staff writer
A feeling of activism swept through last night's meeting of the Lawrence City Commission amidst the routine land-use disputes and rezoning issues.
Commissioners unanimously voted to join a community letter-writing campaign to the Federal Communications Commission in support of 88.9 KAW-FM.
KAW supporters said they hope the FCC will grant the unlicensed community station a waiver so that it can continue to operate
City Manager Mike Wildgen said the commission had no jurisdiction over the 10month-old station.
Lawrence resident and KAW representative Steve Stemmerman said he appreciated the commission's gesture.
"There's no licensing procedure for those of us without a waiver," Stemmerman said. "We know that it's a David and Goliath issue. We're David fighting the Goliath."
The commission also discussed whether the proposed Lawrence Equestrian Center on Clinton Lake property might violate U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' alcohol policies. The corps, which leases the property to Lawrence, forbids facilities whose primary purpose is the sale of alcoholic beverages.
The equestrian center plan submitted to the Planning Commission includes a clubhouse. The proposed clubhouse would contain a restaurant with full-service kitchen and beverage facilities.
The commission decided by a 3 to 2 vote to uphold the corps policy.
In other business commissioners:
Authorized Wildgen to execute an annual cooperative agreement between Youth Sports Inc. and the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.
Voted to establish a bus-loading zone from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday along the west side of Mississippi Street north of 6th Street.
Approved the $34,200 purchase of polymer from Nalco Chemical Company for the Clinton Water Treatment Plant.

New residence hall may help boost enrollment figures
By Sara Anderson Kansan staff writer
With the construction of a new residence hall and the renovation of three others, Haskell Indian Nations University is hoping to increase enrollment.
"We had about 675 students living in the residence halls before the opening of Roe Cloud Dormitory," said Bob Martin, President of Haskell Indian Nations University. "By the end we will be able to house about 950 students on campus."
Approximately 850 students live in residence halls, Martin said. The opening of the new residence hall added 300 spots for students.
Martin said the additional residence hall and renovations would help increase the campus enrollment from approximately 1,100 to 1,150.
Cloud Dormitory Jan. 7.The $8.5 million residence hall was the first building constructed on the campus since 1980.
Students moved into Roe
The $7.2 million renovations began Jan. 5.
"Because we had to close down three of the dorms, we will lose some space while the renovation is in progress, and we'll lose some rooms because of the space we will need to make the improvements in the buildings." Martin said. "But in the end, we will have an increase of about 300."
Martin said that the loss of space had not been the only setback.
"We started trying to get funds from the early '90s, so we experienced lots of delays," Martin said, referring to construction. "It's taken more time than hoped."
Martin said the renovations were scheduled to be completed by the spring of 1999.
"Right now we are doing some asbestos work in the buildings," said Virgil Allen, facilities manager. "We want to be finished in a year, but it depends on how fast we find a

contractor."
The major changes in the buildings will include electrical upgrades and new heating and air conditioning systems. The basic layout of the buildings will stay the same.
Martin said that Haskell had other plans to increase enrollment as well.
"We are also working to do classes by satellite and an extension program," he said. "Over the next five years we hope to increase enrollment to 1,500."

Rules vague for online gambling
Continued from page 1A
to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for Simone. IGC could face a fine of up to $10,000.
Holste said that the Attorney General's office was not targeting the people who gambled online, but rather the operators. He said he wasn't aware of any local district attorneys who were prosecuting people for participating in online gambling.
"Missouri law makes only narrow exceptions for the kind of gambling that is legal in our state. Internet gambling falls outside of those bounds," Nixon said. "There is also no protection for the participating consumer or to keep minors from gambling over the Internet. It's a bad bet all around."
Peter Martin, Cornell law professor who teaches a course on copyright law as it applies to the Internet, said that the internet makes things complicated for any doctrine of law that deals heavily with jurisdiction issues.
"It it gets much more complicated when the crime is taking place in digital space," Martin said. "It's far from clear which territory
has jurisdiction, whether it's the place where the sender or receiver is."
Legal gambling has brought a lot of money to Kansas and Missouri. Because there are no reliable figures on online gambling, state officials are unable to determine the extent of the problem.
Legal gambling figures include the Kansas Lottery sales, which took in more than $185 million in fiscal year 1987, and the Missouri Lottery sales, which took in more than $435 million. Both figures are unaudited.
Although Jake and Sam profited from gambling online, neither would recommend it to others.
"I realize it's a bad habit," said Jake, who continues to gamble on the riverboats. "I wouldn't want to see people lose money because of this."
Sam agreed that one of the problems with online gambling was that it was easy to lose money.
"It causes people to lose more' cause the money's not in front of you. You don't see the bill immediately," Sam said. "I lost $1,000 in 10 minutes once."
