Funeral services for a KU student who died in an automobile accident early Sunday morning were held Tuesday at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Overland Park.
Elizabeth A. Cullinan, 19, was a KU freshman last year and lived in Corbin Hall. She graduated from Shawnee Mission South High School in 1983.
Survivors include her parents and her sister Katherine of 10408 Grant Lane, Overland Park; and three brothers, Patrick J. Cullinan Jr., Toledo, Ohio; Michael J. Cullinan, Dayton, Ohio, and Daniel C. Cullinan, Lenexa.
According to witnesses, Miss Cullinan lost control of her car as she was going south on Metcalf Avenue in southern Overland Park. The car crossed the median, hit a guard rail and overturned in a storm drain, police said.
She was pinned under the vehicle until the Overland Park Fire Department freed her. She was pronounced dead at an Overland Park hospital.
Miss Cullain, who was born in Evanston, Illinois, had lived in the Kansas City area for 12 years.

Group wants to save Opera House
By SHAWNA SEED
Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A newly-formed citizens' group has joined a Wichita company to prevent the destruction of the Lawrence Opera House, 642 Massachusetts St., to make way for a downtown mall.
Bright explosions of colorful light filled the skies of Lawrence Wednesday night as the Lawrence Jaycees presented their 30th annual fireworks extravaganza. More than 10,000 people watched the display from Memorial Stadium while another 3,000 celebrated America's 208th birthday from the lawn of Campanile hill, south of the stadium.
AN ORGANIZATION called the Save the Opera House Committee was formed in the last few weeks, said Betty Alderson, 1920 Mae St., one of its organizers. The committee supports plans by Bowersock, Ltd. of Wichita to renovate the Opera House and make it a performing arts center.
"Everything is still in the formative stages," she said.
Alderson said that a core group of about 10 people, which included former mayor Marci Francisco and Douglas County District Attorney Jerry Harper, had been organizing the committee and developing plans this week.
One of the committee's goals, Alderson said, was to provide information about the Opera House to the public.
ANOTHER IS TO convince the City Commission to issue industrial revelation permits.
IRBs are a financing tool used by cities to lend support to projects, although the city does not bear the financial burden for repaying them
The commission will have a public bearing on the IRBs during its July 17 meeting.
Alderson said that she was interested in the Opera House as a historic building, and that the Bowersock plan was the best alternative for the Opera House.
THE BOWERSOCK PLANWOULD give the city a performance facility at no cost to the city
"Really, this is something for the city that won't cost the taxpayer anything," she said.
A previous plan in December 1982, to issue IRBs to Management Alternatives of Topeka to renovate the Opera House failed, but Alderson said that she did not think that failure would doom the Bowersock plan.
"That's not a deterent," she said. "Obviously, there has been more study. I don't think these people would try this project if they didn't think they could do it."
Alderson said that public support for historic preservation of the Opera House was strong, even though "the community has not been very preservation minded."
She also said that she thought preservation of the Opera House would not create a problem for the Town Center Venture Corporation, which is developing the downtown mall project in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.

"I don't know how the developer feels," Alderson said, "but some of their early drawings showed the Opera House, so I guess it is not a problem."
ACLU leader rebukes draft registration
Knox said the main role the ACLU had was that of informing people about the decision and of the consequences of non-compliance. The ACLU will not encourage people to flout the law, she said.
Jerry Rogers, head of financial aid at the University of Kansas, said that there had been several instances in the past year when students were not able to receive financial aid because they refused to sign a registration card.
There is no draft now and the requirement that men register with the Selective Service within one month of their 18th birthday is designed to create a pool of prospective inductees.
WHILE THE ACU has not received many calls on the issue, Knox said, many people were simply not registering and not telling anyone

"We are opposed to conscription in any form, including the current registration system, for two reasons." Knox said. "We feel it imposes a conscription system on young men blatantly against the promises our forefathers made in the Constitution
The types of financial aid requiring draft registration compliance include loans, grants and work assistance.
LAWRENCE — The head of the state American Civil Liberties Union yesterday criticized the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said young men must register for the draft or risk losing federal college financial aid.
