CAMPUS AND AREA News briefs from staff and wire reports Owner of two fitness clubs files in bankruptcy court
The owner of the Nautilus Fitness Center of Lawrence and the Weight Room, both at 1601 W. 23rd St., has filed for bankruptcy, the Consumer Affairs Association said recently.
Dennis Dey, the owner, filed Jan. 30 under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Topeka, said Clyde Chapman, director of the Consumer Affairs Association.
Dey bought the Nautilus Fitness Center in July 1983. Weight Room memberships were sold in late November and early December 1983, but the club never officially opened. Both fitness clubs were closed in December.
The Consumer Affairs Association has received numerous complaints about the closing of the clubs, Chapman said.
County hires computer programmer
Douglas County commissioners yesterday hired a KU computer programmer to help the county ambulance service combat accounting and billing problems, commissioners said.
Kurt Look, communications programmer at the KU Computer Center, was hired to find a way to speed up the billing process, said Ted McParlane, director of the Douglas County Ambulance Service.
McFarlane said that using special invoice forms and occasional computer malfunctions often slowed the billing process.

Ex-slave writes of Quantrill's raid
At first light on Aug. 21, 1863, the residents of Lawrence paid a high price for choosing to live in a free state.
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
Quantrill and his b a n d o f bushwhackers rode into town killing men, burning homes, and looting businesses along the way.
ON THAT MORNING. William
Only women and children and those who knew the type of men the bushwackers were involved the
liberated slave, gave his account of the raid in a written narrative, which is now tucked away in the Kansas Collection at the Spencer Research Library.
attack that left 150 men dead and 200 homes burned.
One survivor, Andrew Williams, a
Using broken and disjointed sentences, Williams, who was living on Massachusetts Street at the time, lifted the raid as Quantrill entered town:
"He had about 400 men. He came write by our house. It was a little after daylight. They had on all sorts of some some in this reed shear slaves.
His account may be the only account of the raid by a black man, said William Dobak, a researcher for Elizabeth M. Watkins Museum Museum.
The weapons were locked in an armory set up for the local militia to carry them.
"We thought they were union men untill one in the crowd said brake ranks."
When we seen one bushwalker call out one man and talking a minit to him then shot him down we left home and went down Kaw River about 4 miles and
Dobak, who recently completed an article about Williams for the Kansas Historical Society publication, "Kansas History", said that most of the black residents had enough sense to go hide in the tall brush by the river.
THE SIEGE LASTED from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., Boughton said. During that time, Quantrill and his men galloped through town killing mostly men and boys.
An article written in 1880 by J.S. Boughton, on file at Watkins Museum, stated that Lawrence residents didn't mind being seized by the Quarrill seized control of the town:
"We was afraid then to come back. Some one brought us news that they
hide in the brush. We stared this until night beefwhee we come back to town
"They didn't expect a wholesale murder. Many who could have escaped, they did."
"For this reason the colored people fared better than the whites. They knew the men that slavery had made, and they ran to the bush at first alarm."
Boughton also explained that Law-
rence residents had little defense
against the rebels because all of their weapons were in a central location.
In some cases, their pleas kept the bushwhackers from killing the men, he said. But men who pleaded for their freedom were rounded up in groups and then killed
The aftermath, described by a journalist who came to town at the end of the day, was just as gruesome. The journalist discovered the journalist's account
"The first sight attracting my attention was a negro rushing through the streets on horseback, dragging the horse across the street around his neck hitched to a saddle.
Patients react to nuclear medicine with fear
By DAVID SWAFFORD Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Jay Spicer is well aware of the apprehension that patients feel when they realize he is prescribing radioactive medicine for them.
Spicer, director of radiopharmacy at the University of Kansas Medical Center, works in one of the center's smallest departments - the department of nuclear medicine.
Nuclear medicine was born in the 1950s, and according to Spicer, not many people know of its existence.
"PEOPLE DON'T KNOW much about nuclear medicine and once they hear the word radiation, they get the Spandex shirt. "It's a natural reaction for them."
Patients who are referred to the nuclear medicine department by their doctors are given injections of radio-chemical dye to detect cancerous tissues, he said.
The dosage is so small, Spicer said.
that the radioactivity clusters only around cancerous cells or tumors.
"The main difference between our equipment and X-ray machines is that our equipment doesn't generate radioactivity but measures the amount of radioactivity that comes from the body," Spicer said.
THE PROCEDURE enables doctors to detect a higher percentage of diseased tissue, he said.
He said that X-rays were taken to see what something looked like but that in the nuclear medicine department, pictures were taken to find out how radiation was used. The department specializes in examining physiological functions of the body.
"The nice thing about it is that you can give such a minute amount of radioactivity. We deal on the atom level," Spicer said. "You want to trace systems, not overload them."
The Med Center is nationally recognized for its treatment of bone cancer patients, he said. The department also handles diseases diseased hearts, livers, lungs and blood
