Fall semester registration and fee payment nearing
In four weeks, registration and fee payment will begin for the fall 1984 semester at KU.
Students who pre-enrolled last spring must register and pay fees Aug. 23 and Aug. 24 at the time listed in the fall timetable, to remain enrolled in their classes.
After picking up registration forms in Hoch Auditorium, students may apply for a parking permit and must take care of any holds, such as unpaid parking tickets, that will prevent students from completing enrollment.
Students who cannot attend fee payment and registration may send a friend to complete these steps, with the exception of picking up financial aid and veteran checks and posing for a KU identification card.
Students may call the Student Assistance Center for advice if an emergency comes up, but the center is not authorized to grant fee payment extensions.
To pay fees, students must complete the registration form, get a fee card, stop at the fee adjustment table if an adjustment is necessary and present the fee card to the cashier.
KU identification cards will cost $2 and must be paid for in cash but no small change.
Students who did not pre-enroll last spring will start enrollment procedures Aug. 22 by picking up an enrollment card and adviser assignment, meeting with the adviser and obtaining the dean's approval stamp on the enrollment card.
Late enrollment registration and fee payment will be Aug. 27 according to last names as listed in the timetable.
New and readmitted students start the enrollment process Aug. 22, then register and pay fees Aug. 24.
DIC to take stand on Opera House
The Lawrence Downtown Improvement Committee agreed Wednesday to take a stand on the Lawrence Opera House's future.
After meeting with Bowersock Ltd., a group hoping to renovate the building with industrial revenue bonds, the DIC decided to draft a policy statement at an Aug. 14 meeting in City Hall.
The DIC discussed how the Opera House will figure into plans for a downtown shopping mall proposed by Town Center Venture Corp.
Opera House owner Skip Moon invited the DIC to meet Wednesday at the Opera House to discuss supporting Bowersock's IRB request, which the City Commission initially denied July 17, asking for more financial information about Bowersock.
Lee Barnett, president of Management Alternatives, a group that would become the Opera House's primary tenant after renovation, told the DIC that the financial information would be provided to city staff.
An anonymous investor, willing to provide $500,000 in equity to back the industrial revenue bonds, may be revealed to the commission in confidence. Barnett also said.
Plans for the proposed mall leave the Opera House in its present location, but Town Center Venture Corp. president Duane Schwada has said that he would prefer that the city own the building in order to have some control when luring department stores to downtown Lawrence.
Supporters of the Opera House's renovation are afraid that the building will be torn down, or that it will be gutted for other uses.
Uses for the Opera House that will generate money to repay the bond issue may include arts instruction, performances, leasing office space, audio-video recording and seminars, Barnett said.
Oct. 15 trial date set in rape case
Terry Walling, a 26-year-old transient, was bound over for trial after a preliminary hearing Wednesday, on three counts of rape and one count of aggrivated kidnapping.
Associate District Court Judge Michael Malone set the trial date for Oct. 15.
Walling remains in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $35,000 bond.
walling has also given his name as Jesse. Lawrence police said that because Walling could be an alias they sent his fingerprints to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and to the FBI, but it will take more than a week for Lawrence detectives to get the suspect's name, record and possible prior convictions from those agencies.
The charges against Walling stemmed from two rapes on July 13 and one on July 14. The charge of aggravated kidnapping stems from one of the July 13 incidents.
During the preliminary hearing, one complainant testified that Walling used a pair of scissors as a weapon. Another said that he used her own spike-healed shoe.
According to police reports, the July 14 incident happened in the Oread neighborhood, and the other two occurred in the 2400 block of West 25th Street and the 1700 block of West 24th Street.
Visiting orienteers dominate meet
About 64 Scandinavian orienteers competed at Lake Perry yesterday during a meet sponsored by Orienteer Kansas, said Paul Jordan, one of the meet directors.
The group, largely made up of Swedes, has been traveling across the United States competing in orienteeing meets on their way to Los Angeles to see the 1984 Olympic Games.
The meet at Lake Perry was one of 10 meets the group will be participating in.
The Scandinavian group dominated the orienteering meet, leaving only a few places for their American hosts.
"Orienteering is their sport," said Fritz Menninger, Topeka senior, who finished 12th in the men's 21-and-over division.
Urienteering, a sport that combines cross-country running and map reading, originated in the Scandinavian countries and is practiced professionally there today.
Although the Swedes have been skilled orienters for years, the team has met with a few new challenges since it started its American tour on July 14.
In Sweden, the orienteers are used to running through forests with clear, pine-needled floors. Menninger said.
In Kansas, however, Menninger said the Swedes had to deal with "spider webs and thorns and all sorts of nasty things" while they ran.

Court allows evidence under faulty warrants
- the faulty warrant made the search illegal. The exclusionary rule states that evidence tainted by improper search cannot be used in
IN THIS CASE, the evidence gathered in the raid was suppressed because the warrant was too general
Once, in 1971, when Vern Miller was attorney general, he applied for a search warrant for an entire apartment complex, the brownstones at 1530 Tennessee St., and a Topeka judge gave it to him.
People who had nothing to do with the investigation were awakened in the middle of the night by agents of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation carrying machine guns, and had their apartments searched.

John Rumsey, a Lawrence attorney who related this incident, said that because of a recent Supreme Court decision, evidence gathered in a similar illegal search might be allowed.

Six or seven of the apartment residents did in fact have drugs, including the man who was the target of the investigation.
Those were the days when the attorney general appeared in person at drug raids.
"IF THE OFFICER thinks he has a valid warrant, he's acting in good faith, and the evidence won't be excluded
The decision, which is called the Leon rule, says that evidence gathered using a faulty search warrant may be used in court if the law enforcement agents believed the warrant was good.
"Basically what the ruling says is that law enforcement shouldn't be penalized because of a mistake made by a judge in issuing a warrant," said Douglas County District Attorney Jerry Harper of the Leon ruling.
"I think it's a good decision," he said
Harper said that the purpose of the exclusionary rule was to discourage law enforcement agents from gathering evidence illegally. If a police officer goes to the trouble to get a search warrant from a judge, Harper said, the ruling says he's done his duty and can rely on the warrant.
The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution says that no warrants shall be issued without probable cause, and is established by a statement, made under oath, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
A FORMER DOUGLAS County attorney, David Berkowitz, said that according to the Leon ruling, if a judge signs a search warrant, whether or not there was probable cause, the evidence could be used in court.
"The truth of the matter was that in the past there were judges who would sign virtually everything that was put in front of them," Berkowitz said.
He said that it remained to be seen if the Leon ruling will cause judges to give affidavits for search warrants more consideration as to whether they show probable cause.
Lynn Knox, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Kansas City, said, "The Supreme Court has, with its recent ruling, sent a message that the police and courts don't have to be as careful about following the proper procedures as they were in the past, and that's very dangerous."
KNOX SAID THAT following the Leon ruling, the courts would be barraged with appeals testing for more exceptions to the exclusionary rule.
The Justice Department, which filed a brief advocating the exception to the exclusionary rule, is looking for a case that can be used to establish a second exception.
Esquire magazine's pages offer interesting research
By JOHN SIMONSON Staff Reporter
A research paper on pinup girls?
A master's thesis on political statements made through magazine cover art?
Staff Reporter
Unusual subjects. But such are some of the unique research opportunities available to KU students through the Esquire magazine collection, according to Teen Southall, counselor of photography.
Much of the original art work from the pages of Esquire magazine between 1933 and 1977 is in the collection.
Betsy Wright, curatorial assistant in the museum's print room, also said that help in identifying artists and their work was needed. However, she said that accessibility to the collection was limited because of the print room's heavy usage.
THE COLLECTION, which includes Alberto Vargas' colorful and racy pinup girls from World War II, and Diane Arbus' black-and-white photographs from the 1960s, was donated to KU by Esquire in 1980.
the collection could attract students in design, American studies, marketing, literature, criminalism or political science, he said.
Because many of the artists contributing to Esquire were not "mainstream" artists, Southall said, little or nothing was known about them. Research on the artists' lives and other work is needed to supplement the collection, he said.
holds a wealth of research opportunities for KU students in a number of other areas, as well.
For instance, a student of literature might examine the relationship between magazine art and the fiction it illustrates. Southall said A student of American studies could research the representation of women in magazine art during a specific period. A marketing study might study the effectiveness of specific magazine covers with regard to sales.
"If someone is interested in a study of artists or of photographers, there is an infinite number of subjects for research papers or graduate-level studies." Southall said.
ARREL'S PHOTOGRAPHY WAS displayed at Spencer from Jan. 22 to March 4 and is now on a national tour. Other photos from the collection were exhibited in 1982
Young, said he considered the collection most useful to people interested in researching photography and illustration. But the works could be appreciated by everyone as they are put on exhibit at the museum, he said.
Lee Young, professor of journalism, said that Esquire contacted him about the collection because of the School of Journalism's extensive magazine collection and its standing as the official repository for the Magazine Publishers Association.
"A LOT OF THESE things could be worked on by using the complete Esquire collection we have." Southall said, referring to the bound editions of the magazine that are included in the collection.
"I think there's a great deal of potential not only in projects, but in helping catalog the collection," he said.
Southball, who also teaches art history, said that interested students might help with the identification of specific works in the collection.
But Southall thinks the collection
"The collection is here and it's to be used," she said. "But ease of access is not the best."
