Student pleads no contest in vehicular-homicide case
A 20-year-old KU student yesterday pleaded no contest to vehicular homicide in connection with the traffic death of 23-year-old Christopher Nourot, who was a KU law student, an assistant district attorney for Douglas County said.
Susan Shaw, the student, will be sentenced May 18 in Douglas County District Court.
Robin Fowler, the assistant district attorney, said that Shaw entered her no contest plea so that the victim's wife, who was a passenger in the car when the accident happened, would not have the emotional trauma of testifying.
Mr. Nourot was killed Jan. 22 when his car was struck by Shaw's vehicle at the intersection of 10th and Kentucky streets.

Private funds sought for recreation center
by SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
The city staff will begin searching for private institutions willing to finance a $1 million recreation center because the Lawrence City Commission last night favorably received a feasibility study for the center.
"The worst thing that could happen would be to label that center," he said. "I think it would be the worst possible thing that could happen to the plan."
The study was prepared by Larry Good and Associates, a Lawrence architectural firm, which favors locating the center northwest of the Holcom Sports Complex, 25th Street and Lawrence Ave.
Chris Hahn, special population coordinator for the city, who has been working on financing for the center, said last night that he would try to avoid using federal funds for the center. He said that the federal government placed restrictions on projects it financed.
He said that although the center would be built to accommodate special groups, such as handicapped people, he hoped that it would not be designated as a center for one special group in Lawrence.
Hahn said that he would appeal to private industries for donations to
It would include a 9,000-square-foot gymnasium and jogging track, a commons area and a multi-purpose room for activities such as dramatic
The center's annual operating cost would be more than $29,000, according to the study done by Good's firm.
finance the building and operating costs of the center.
The Holcum site was chosen, Good said, because it is a large enough area to accommodate the $2\frac{1}{2}$ acres required for recreation center and adequate parking.
Members of the Lawrence Arts Commission recommended that the fountain be moved across Massachusett Street to the west side of South Park.
The commission also decided last night to leave the Roosevelt Fountain.
But a representative of the Lawrence Flower Club, Marguerite Goff, said the club wanted the fountain to remain on the east side of the park.
She said that the fountain would be in danger of deterioration if moved, that the fountain's present location was historically significant, and that the $10,000 the City Commission allocated in community development funds was designated for restoration, not for moving the fountain.
City prosecutor Glover is entering race for DA
By United Press International
Mike Glover, Lawrence City prosecutor, yesterday formally announced his candidacy for the seat of information for Douglas County attorney.
Glover and Jerry Harper, the incumbent district attorney who said he would formally announce his candidate Tuesday, will be pitied against each other in the Democratic primary in August.
Republican Jim Flory, a deputy Kansas attorney general, has also announced that he will run for the office. The filing deadline is June 11.
Glover, who has been city prosecutor for the past 3 and $ \frac{1}{2} $ years, said his experience as city prosecutor and as a representative in the district made him a good candidate for the direct attorney's position.
An uncontested election for the district attorney's office hasn't occurred since 1972.
Glover ran unsuccessfully for the office of state representative in 1969, when he was 22. After two years in the Army, he returned to Lawrence and was elected to the House from Lawrence's 44th District, which includes most of the KU student population.
Glover was best known as a liberal Democrat in the Legislature for his efforts to get marijuana decriminalized, earning him the nickname
He said yesterday that the marijana issue he pushed is "just a part of many different issues and concerns I had."
Glover said that his well-publicized attitudes toward marijuana laws had not affected his judgement as city prosecutor and would not affect the manner in which drug-related cases were prosecuted if he were district attorney.
Yesterday, Glover said the main factor in the primary election between he and Harper would be "who is legally, personally, and politically qualified to serve in the position."
The primary, he hopes, will be an election focusing on the issues.
Issues important in a race for the district attorney's office. Glover said, include those dealing with the victims and witnesses of crimes.
Glover is chairman of the State's Crime Victim Reparation Board and is a member of the Kansas Judicial Committee on the Juvenile Code.
