Lawrence theater group to purchase local church
The Lawrence Community Theatre, a volunteer performance organization, today will wrap up the buying of the Community Covenant Church. 1501 New Hampshire.
The Community Theatre had in the past used the facilities at the Lawrence Arts Centre, Ninth and Vermont streets, to perform their show.
But as programs at the Arts Center expanded, the group often had to find other facilities to rehearse and build sets, Rob Sturgeon, business manager, said.
The new building will allow the Community Theatre the space for a stage, sound and light booth, dressing rooms, green room, offices, storage space, a script library, restrooms and seating for 200. This space was not available at the Arts Center.
"It was a golden opportunity we couldn't pass up." Sturgeon said.
The Community Theatre's goal is to raise $149,000.
The Community Theatre has raised $83,000 in cash and pledges since the heirship of their fund drive in April. Sturgeon said...
The Community Theatre, established in 1977, is a non-profit organization operated by 12 board members.
"We are very excited about the upcoming season." he said. "It'll be a lot of work, but very rewarding."
Woman assaulted near boat ramp
A 26-year-old Lawrence woman assaulted at a boat ramp near Eighth and Oak streets was found early yesterday morning by a fisherman, Lawrence police said.
The fisherman told police that when he arrived at the ramp area at about 4 a.m. he heard a noise. After he investigated, he found the victim standing by the fence on the east end of a parking lot near the boat ramp.
According to police, the woman suffered numerous head injuries. "At first we thought it was a shooting because of the blood, but it was actually a stabbing," he said.
"The story is that she was assaulted with a tire iron, but we don't have a tire iron," Schmille said.
A spokesman for Lawrence Memorial Hospital said late yesterday that the woman was in satisfactory condition.
schmille said drag marks to the river indicated that the victim may have been pushed in.
No one has been arrested in the case, he said.
"We're looking at a suspect," Schmille said, "but we have to do some more work on it."
The ramp is on the north side of the Kansas River and east of the dam.

Black freed on appeal bond
The former owner of the Royal College Shop, 837 Massachusetts St., was released on a $10,000 appeal bond after he was sentenced Tuesday to one ten years in prison for setting up a fake downtown showhouse in February of 1982.
BY CAROLYN COLEMAN
Staff Reporter
Regarding the sentencing, William Ronan, assistant district attorney and prosecutor of the case said, "The state had recommended a sentence of five years, but Judge sentenced him to 1 to 10 years. can't say much more than that."
BLACK'S ATTORNEY said that he had filed a notice of appeal with the Douglas County District Court, and
A jury convicted Thomas Harvey Black, 322 Woodlawn Dr. of one count of arson on May 11.
"The basic trust (of the appeal) will be that the court should have ordered an acquittal of Mr. Black or a new trial because, in essence, the jury considered some facts that were contrary to the evidence for John Lungstrum. Black's attorney."
Brummet was selected to preside over the trial after the four Douglas County District Court judges disqualified themselves from the case personal reasons or because of their previous involvement in the case.
Gary Natziger, an associate district judge from Osakalaone had aquitted Black on the other charge him — making a false writing.
Jerry Harper, Douglas County district attorney, successfully appealed Brummet's decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.
The Kansas Supreme Court appointed Natziger to preside over the trial after overrunning Marvin Brunzel in 1982. He associates district judge, in January 1983.
That charge related to an evaluation of the store's inventory that Black had filed with his insurance company prior to the fire.
The fire caused more than $280,000 worth of damage to four downtown businesses. Black had rebuilt the store after another fire in 1977 which cost more than $450,000 worth of damage. Of that fire was never determined.
the notice will be transferred to an appellate court.
BRUMMETT HAD ruled in November 1982 that Black would not

Baptists oppose women ministers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Southern Baptist Convention went on record yesterday in opposition to the ordination of women to the ministry.
Women are subservient, the convention said, because they were responsible for bringing sin into the world.
stand trial due to lack of evidence.
But the resolution does not bind the denomination's 36,000 local churches, which have the power to ordain.
Less than half of the registered delegates, known as messengers, voted on the resolution. The vote was 4,783 to 3,469.
The resolution said that scripture had proclaimed that women should not be placed in a position of authority over men in churches.
THE ISSUE HAS deeply divided the 14 million member church, the nation's largest Protestant denomination, and even as ballots were counted pastors were angrily proclaiming that they would not be bound by the vote.
"I want to state that my church will not be bound by any act of this convention condemning the ordination of women as deacons," said Kenneth Burke, a minister from Washington, D.C.
But as Burke began to speak, he was cut off by the Rev. Jimmy Draper, president of the convention leader of the fundamentalist faction.
AN EIGHT-MINUTE limit on debate adopted by the convention thwarted efforts by supporters of women's ordination to strike some of what they consider the more obconable language of the resolution.
Several efforts by supporters of women's ordination to have the resolution ruled unconstitutional or out of order were defeated.
"The scriptures attest to the delegated order of authority," the resolution said, adding that the scriptures also teach "that women are not in public worship to assume a role as a teacher" and confusion reign in the local church."
While acknowledging that the apostle Paul commends women and men alike in other ministries, "he excludes women from pastoral leadership to preserve a submission God requires because the man was first in creation and the woman was first in the Edicent fall."
There are about 250 ordained women deacons and ministers among the 40,000 pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention, but only a handful of them serve local congregations.
SOME CONGREGATIONS, particularly in the Carolinas and Kentucky, have been ordaining women for years.
Wayne Dehoney, of Louisville, Ky., charged that the resolution violates the convention's constitution, which says the national organization "does
not claim and will never attempt to exercise any authority over any other Baptist body," including the local church.
But Draper said that because the resolution did not "instruct" the churches, Dehoney's objection could not be sustained.
The action is the first time the national body has spoken on the issue, which threatens to become a new front in the bitter struggle between moderates and fundamentalists in the denomination.
IN OTHER ACTION, the messengers generally endorsed the political agenda of the religious right, including the strongest statement yet the convention has taken opposing abolitions and neutral resolution on secular humanism
- dedicated themselves to the "divine mandate to carry the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth."
- Thev also:
- opposed the United States naming an ambassador to the Vatican and said the convention would support a court challenge, but rejected an amendment to express indignation at President Reagan for initiating the effort to name an envoy to the Vatican.
- expressed support for a national minimum drinking age of 21.
- opposed both the growing of tobacco and the manufacture and smoking of cigarettes.
Thirteen streets to be repaired in overlay plan
By SHAWNA SEED Staff Reporter
Several streets near the University of Kansas will undergo repair this summer as part of the city's $125,000 street overlay program.
The city will take bids June 26 for the repairs, which are scheduled to be completed this summer. Thirteen streets are to be required.
Streets near campus slated for repair include 19th street, from Naismith Drive to Iowa Street; 13th街, from Oread Avenue to Louisana street; and 17th街, from Kentucky to Massachusetts street.
MIKE WILDGEN, assistant city manager, said that he did not know how soon repairs would start or how much time it would until after the city had received bids.
Wilden said that the Public Works Department recommended the streets for repair. The current list of streets was narrowed from a list of 287 by 13%.
On Tuesday the Lawrence City Commission authorized a June 26 public hearing to amend the gas-tax law and would finance the street improvements.
The money comes from an increase in the gas tax that the Kansas Legislature passed in 1983. The city's 1984 budget was approved in July 1983, before the city received the extra $100,000.
THE CITY USES several criteria to decide which streets will be repaired. Wildden said.
The general condition and age of streets are factors, he said. The city also considers the amount of damage from road accidents, whether a street is heavily traveled.
The other streets scheduled for repair are: Schwarz Road, from Sixth Street north to Lawrence Avenue; Ousdahl Road, from 24th to 26th streets; Emerald Drive, from 19th Street Terrace to 21st Street; Ohio Street, from 21st to 23rd streets; Vermont Street, from Park Avenue to 23rd Street; Winona Avenue, from Barker Avenue to Massachusetts Street; Oak Avenue to Massachusetts Street; Avenue to Massachusetts Street; Edgard Lane, from cul-sac to cul-de-sac; Maverick Lane, from 25th Street Terrace to 27th Street, and Alabama Street, from 23rd to 25th streets.
19TH STREET, FROM Naismith Drive to Iowa Street was already closed once for repairs in the spring Wilden said that the work was to prepare the street for the overlay program.
