13 bands to play benefit concert
at Outhouse during Eargasm '93
Thirteen local bands are slated to perform this weekend at Eargasm 93, a benefit performance at the Outhouse for the Lawrence Music Alliance.
This is the second year for the concert, and organizers plan to make it an annual event.
Concert proceeds will be used to help pay for the printing costs of S.L.A.B., a Lawrence music publication. S.L.A.B. is an ever-changing acronym. This month it stands for Sex, Lawrence and Beer, said publisher Samanta Kame.
Kaine, who is also the organizer for Eargasm '93. stressed the importance of the event for the local music scene.
"It's a chance for several local bands who might not otherwise play together to show the same stage," she said.
The bands playing are
■ Friday — Wayback Machine, White Trash, IdXplosion, Cocknoose, Hey Ruth, Where's Gomez? and Banterspokes.
Saturday — Keely Zoo, Spankin Rufus, Shower Trick, Motherwell, Danger Bob and Cher.
The event begins at 8 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $5 for Friday's show and $6 for Saturday's show. They can be bought at the door of the Outhouse, on 15th street five miles east of Massachusetts Street.
KU graduate will fly over Super Bowl in Navy plane after national anthem
As Garth Brooks signs the final notes of the national anthem at Sunday's Super Bowl, Navy Lt. Randy Ramel, a 1986 University of Kansas graduate, will finish the show in the fighter jet fiv-bv.
Ramel, a business graduate, will perform the fly-by in F/A-18 Hornet with four other pilots from the Strikefighter Squadron of Naval Air Station, Lemoore, Calif.
Ramel said that he was looking forward to the flyby but that he would probably not be able to see anything in the stadium.
"I will be busy concentrating on the formation, so I won't be able to look down and see what's happening." Ramel said.
After graduating from KU, Ramel attended Naval Flight Training in Kingsville, Texas, served as a flight instructor and then moved to his current duty station in Lemoore.
Merchandisers ignore Kansas loss, review Final Four T-shirt designs
Merchandisers are not letting the top-ranked Kansas basketball team's recent loss to Long Beach State dampen their hopes for a national championship.
The University of Kansas Bookstore already is reviewing designs for Final Four sweatshirts and T-shirts in preparation for a possible Jayhawk appearance in the finals of the NCAA basketball tournament.
Mike Reid, bookstore manager and director of Jayawhack trademark licensing, said that eight designs would be selected for the sportswear items. He said he expected to review about 40 designs from manufacturers before making his selection. The bookstore also will sell NCAA shirts.
If the Jayhawks go to the Final Four, the KU memorabilia will be high-selling items, he said.
"KU T-shirts and sweatshirts accounted for $500,000 in citywide sales during the last Final Four tournament we were in," Reid said.
The Jayhawk mascot's popularity accounts for a large portion of the sales, said Carmen Cook, clothing buyer for the bookstore.
"We get catalog orders from as far as Europe and Greece," she said. "Some people ask if the Jayhawk is our native bird."

K-State case could change rape law
Bv Ben Grove
Legislator determined to drop alcohol clause
Kansan staff writer
When a Kansas State University student said she was raped last September, another student, Mark Mazour, was arrested and charged with rape and aggravated sodomy.
Later, the Riley County attorney's office said there was not enough evidence to prosecute the case, and charges were dropped.
In her struggle to have the state's definition of rape changed, State Rep. Gwen
The element of this case that caught people's attention was that the woman had been drinking alcohol. Welshimer said that this is part of the reason why the case was thrown out.
Welshimer, D. Wichita, said it was this case that had brought attention to her cause.
State law says that a woman who has been drinking alcohol and does not consent to sex is being raped "unless the victim voluntarily consumes or allows the administration of the substance with knowledge of its nature."
Welshman's bill, which she drafted last summer, would strike those words, and all words relating to voluntary drinking, from the current law. She is now trying to have her bill heard before the Senate Judiciary
At a KU National Organization for Women meeting last night, Welshimer said she would focus her total attention on her bill during this session. She said she had dropped an auto theft bill she was pursuing so that she would have time to dedicate herself to the rape bill.
"This is my number one priority," she said
"over the meeting. "I'll never stop."
The issue is also still alive in Manhattan. After the Riley County attorney dropped her case, the woman who brought charges against Mazour turned to the university.
After a university panel interviewed Mazour along with the women who alleged rape and the people whose names they pro-
vided, the university ordered Mazour to do 100 hours of community service and imposed other sanctions.
"We had an obligation to investigate and make a finding," and Richard Seaton, the university attorney. "We're not conducting criminal court. We don't have to find in the same technical way as the state that a sex crime was committed."
The university's findings led Mazour to file a lawsuit against the university earlier this month, claiming that the university's policy prohibiting sexual violence was outside the university's authority and denied him due process.
No hearing date for the lawsuit has been set.
Late-night fire leaves eight homeless
By James J. Reece and Will Lewis
Kansan staff writers
A fire ripped through a three-story house at 1344 Kentucky St. at 10:30 last night, damaging all the floors and destroying much of the roof.
He said he was unable to estimate the cost of damages until the department completed an investigation.
Bill Stark, battalion chief, said none of the residents was a KU student.
Stark was unsure of how the fire started but that it may have been caused by an electrical problem.
Standing on 14th Street, firefighters work to extinguish the blaze through a window.
The fire started on the second floor, said Darrell Brown, a third-floor resident of the house.
"I was just getting up for work, and the fire alarm went off," Brown said. "After the air hit the fire, it just started going like crazy."
Brown said there was no fire escape nearby, so he broke a window of his room with his hand and jumped to the ground.
"I didn't even think about it." he said. "I just said, 'Man, I'm getting out of here.'"
Four fire trucks from the Lawrence Fire Department answered the 10:33 p.m. call.
McSwain said firefighters used a ladder to rescue two people from the roof of the house. One of them, a 24-year-old male resident of the house, was arrested after reaching the ground. Stark said.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department reported that the man was arrested
in connection with the interference of a firefighter's duties
"For some reason, he jumped on a firefighter's back." Stark said.
Jeff Doherty, an off-duty firefighter,
said he arrived at the scene after hearing
the alarm on a portable radio in his home.
"When the department got here, they attempted to go into the house," he said. "Flames were coming down the stairway when the first team went in."
For the residents of the house, the fire destroyed more than their home.
"We have eight people right now who have absolutely nothing," said Cindy Reynolds, girlfriend of Salah Ibrahim, owner of the building.
Lawrence firefighters stand aside as the blaze at 1344 Kentucky St. is brought under control. Fire trucks from all four Lawrence stations responded to the call that came at 10:33 last night. No injuries were reported.
Tonkovich calls harassment allegations a 'witch hunt'
Kansan staff writer
Bv Bradv Prauser
Emil Tonkovich yesterday said a law student's allegations that he had pressured her into performing oral sex resulted from what he called a "sexual harassment witch hunt" in the law school.
During the 17th week of dismissal hearings for the tenured professor, Tonkovich read from his written response to Tammy McVeY's 1991 allegations as he resumed cross-examination of Robert Jerry, dean of law.
and not Tonkovich's. He and Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, recommended to Del Shankel, then executive vice chancellor, and Chancellor Gene Budig that Tonkovich be dismissed for violating the faculty code of conduct.
Besides calling McVey's allegations a witch hunt, Tonkovich implied that the allegations should be discounted because they came three years after the alleged incident and because McVey was intoxicated at the time she said it happened.
Tonkovick criticized Jerry for believing McVey's description of what happened. He said Jerry seldom saw or talked to her at the law school and never interviewed her about the incident.
Tonkovich said McVey told Jerry in a May 20, 1991, meeting that Tonkovich "made a pass at her" but that she testified differently, accusing Tonkovich of pressuring her into performing oral sex.
Jerry said he believed McVey's account of the incident
Tonkovich also said McVey might have lied during testimony about what Jerry said to her during that meeting, although he did not specify what those lies might have been.
The two lawyers debated the substance of two of the several additional sexual harassment accusations against Tonkovich that came after McVey's.
One student claims Tonkovich pressured her for a date by asking whether she had seen his farm, and the other alleges that he pressured her for a date by asking whether she had seen his new truck.
Tonkovich said the inquiries were innocent.
Jerry said the context in which Tonkovich asked the students the questions indicated he was seeking romance. Mr.
"I formed a judgment about her perceptions and her credibility," Jerry said referring to the student Konovich had asked about his truck. "I think she made a showing that you were approaching her in something other than a casual, innocent form. I looked at everything together and saw patterns running through all these allegations."
