Torch bearers receive welcome despite rain
JIM BOLE
By MARY ALICE LEARY Staff Reporter
CHARLES HIMMELBERG editorial editor
Despite the controversial $3,000 price tag attached to the glory of being one of the Olympic torch carriers, runners toting the symbol were not impressed. They received a rousing welcome from rain-drenched crowds Friday night.
Along with the 16 "official" runners who trade off each week, the torch is also being carried by about 4,000 runners whose sponsors paid American Telephone and Telegraph, which has coordinated the run, a fundraiser that they will participate in on the trek across the United States.
HOWARD HILL. Lawrence city commissioner, commended ATTR for supporting the Olympic run and said that he thought the sponsorships were fine, as long as the money went to support amateur athletics.
The money from the sponsorship fees will go to support amateur athletes, according to Wally McNeill, president of the 1984 Olympic Relay Committee.
"I think it a 'terrible thing to do to the Olympics," Shaffer said. Having to pay the $3,000 was discrimination and he did not afford to pay the fee, he said.
But Harry G. Shaffer, professor of economics, disagreed.
"At least the money is going to support a worthy cause."
The symbol of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games arrived in Lawrence from Eudora at dusk on Friday. Parked cars and onlookers along K-10 Highway greeted the two runners as they turned onto Massachusetts Street. They bore the torch on the Lawrence leg of the 12-week cross-country journey, which began in New York City on May 8.
Each week, a different group of 16 runners will run with the torch.
Leaving Massachusetts Street at Seventh Street, the runners ran west toward Tennessee Street, the up hill to 13th Street to Oread Avenue and headed west toward Jayhawk at the University of Kansas campus.
The rain got heavier, but the crowds grew thicker, as the team was cheered by a group of KU students in front of the Kansas Union.
McGuire said. A team of two runners would run four miles, and would be replaced by a new team to run the next four miles.
THE RUNners CONTINUED through the campus along Jayhawk Blvd, turned south and ran along Naismith Drive, turned west onto 15th Street to Irving Road and headed west toward Iowa Street.
The runners were met by an enthusiastic supporter waving a torch on a broomstick at 19th and Iowa streets.
The 37-vehicle support caravan included a medical van with a whirlpool in case a runner was injured. MeGuire said.
Eight Lawrence policemen on motorcycles and in patrol cars joined the caravan on K-10 and accompanied the troupe through the city.
Unofficial cars hooked up to the caravan and followed the team, along with people on bicycles and local runners.
The runners were scheduled to continue on to Clinton Lake State Park, but they were picked up at 9:30 a.m. at the airport and vehicles because of the bad weather.
Because of the storm, the runners were forced to leave the route at 19th and Iowa streets.
"RAIN DOES NOT really stop us," McGuire said. "It was the lightning."
Caravan continued on to the park.

Commission vote extends city street
Carol Hayden, a 1984 torch bearer,
brings the torch to the University of Kansas in spite of Friday night's downpour. The torch had to be relegated several times during on her run down Memorial Drive.
Even though the runners were forced, by the storm, to stop at 19th and Iowa streets, they began at that point on Saturday morning.
Police Department estimated that more than 2,000 spectators turned out for the event.
BOB WALLACE, park manager at Clinton, said that the caravan left the park about 7:30 a.m. Saturday, and headed east on Clinton Parkway back to 19th and Iowa streets. The runners then left for Topeka.

Deborah Price, trip coordinator for the Relay Committee, said that the run was on schedule, and they expected to reach the outskirts of Los Angeles on July 21, where the torch will make its way through the city for the start of the Summer Olympic Games on July 28.
The Lawrence City Commission has made it easier for residents of the India Neighborhood, in southeast Lawrence, to travel in and out of the neighborhood. The commission voted to drive the OwenDrive to 25th Street Terrace.
After approving the extension, the commission discussed long-range plans to improve access from the 23rd Street and Haskell Ave.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said that city planners had intended to keep traffic from moving through India Neighborhood, but that residents' proposals would increase the amount of traffic.
RONALD RENZ, 2610 Bonanza Drive, represented the India Neighborhood Association at the meeting. He said that the residents were aware that traffic would increase, and that they were willing to work with the Traffic Safety Commission to get stop signs put in the area.
Mayor Ernest Angino said, "It's your neighborhood. Frankly, I think you might be making a mistake."
The commission also declared its intent to issue industrial revenue bonds to Riverfront Square Investors, a local group that plans to develop a light industrial complex in the North Second Street area.
Robert Phillips, 303 Bowstring Drive, a partner in the project, said that the group hoped to offer an opportunity for small businesses to develop in Lawrence, and create about 200 jobs.
Angino, noting that Lawrence National Bank, 647 Massachusetts St., was willing to participate in the vote. The National Bank should the commission issue the IRIs.
