Mild weather should arrive in a few days
From Staff and Wire Reports
Mild weather expected later this week could provide warm respite from the cold, gusting winds that howled through Lawrence over the weekend.
Today's temperatures are expected to reach the mid-30s, with winds out of the west at 5 to 15 mph. Tonight's low is expected to be 22 degrees.
Yesterday, winds gusting up to 30 mph whipped through the Lawrence area, a spokesman at the National Weather Service in Topeka said. High temperatures in the area were in the low to mid-teens, but the wind chill factor caused temperatures to plummet to 24 to 35 degrees below zero.
Temperatures tomorrow are expected to reach the mid-30s, with lows in the 20s.
Winds in the Kansas City area gusted up to 50 mph and were accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Balladeer shares unique talents

The bumper stickers plastered randomly on Bobby Bridger's tattered guitar case convey the unique character of the owner.

The man is the art. And he lends his talents to relating stories of mountain men in New Mexico.
Bobby Bridger, who was the main performer in Hashinger Hall's art-in-residence extravaganza last fall, has an avenge of talent with infectious laughs.
He is writer, actor, artist and singer. This combination has caused him to evolve into a unique type of art, a balladier.
His appearance represents the first coordinated program between the University of Kansas and Haskell University in New York, which involved four days of workshops and performances on both campuses, was sponsored by Haskell, AURH, Hashinger Hall and the KU history and theater departments.
BRIDGER DESCRIBES HIMSEL as a "wandering minstrel," who sings and tells stories anyplace from bars to family living rooms.
Bridger performed a lyrical rendition of "Ballad of the West" Saturday night in the Hashinger theater. A one-man show complete with a waltz, medley and Bridger related the story by reciting prose, singing and playing his guitar.
A writer, playwright and poet, he is still working on the epic trilogy the "Ballad of the West." a labor that has commanded half of his 38 years.
LIMITED EDITIONS OF the triology's first two segments have been published. The first two parts cover the American West during the time of the Civil War, the fate of the city of Crazy Horse and his people after the Battle of Wounded Knee.
He has been immersed in many other things as he has worked on his
trilogy.
He recorded two albums for RCA records in 1972 and 1973, after RCA discovered his folk music, which they performed in Denver and in Denver's then-successful formula.
HIS RETURN TO civilization brought the recently-released album titled "Heal in the Wisdom."
Brider adds his own flair to his work by depicting a common strand of love, nature and spiritual healing that links humanity to itself.
But Bridger wanted the freedom to exercise his own style, he said, and retreated from the corporate music world and the lure of commercial bands. He spent the next several years in the Chihuahuan desert in Mexico.
"I really believe that if one is going to admit to the world that they are an artist, then they must accept the responsibility of changing their art form, of pioneering and creating something new from what they've been given," he said. "That to me is imperative."
Group receives grim statistics on El Salvador
By GRETCHEN DAY Staff Reporter
Every month in El Salvador 421 people are killed, and scores more are beaten, mutilated, kidnapped or disappeared. A few years ago Christian Ministries said yesterday.
"It's a place of enormous terror." Jack Bremer, who recently returned from a fact-finding trip to the war-torn Central American country, said before a gathering of about 30 people at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Bremer was part of a group of 18 faculty members and clergy from U.S. universities who traveled on its third trip to the Ivory Coast to aid Salvador and Nicaragua. Jan. 3 to 14
Bremer said statistics compiled by the Archdiocese of San Salvador Legal Aid Office reported that in 1982 an average of 400 people were assassinated each month. That number has
risen to 421 in the first eleven months of 1983.
DURING THAT PERIOD, 514 people disappeared; 39 were kidnapped by guerrillas; 4,638 were killed by right-wing death squads; 67 were killed by guerrillas; and 1,211 soldiers were killed in combat. Bremer said.
Since late 1979, death squares have murdered more than 32,000 persons, he
The most painful thing about El Saudia today is the lack of respect for life, Breaking.
While in El Salvador, the fact-finding group met with government, church and education leaders and visited five refugee camps.
RELIGIOUS LEADERS helped him to understand that the struggle in El Salvador is one of people trying to become free of poverty and oppression, and working to prevent conflicts between government forces and guerillas or between east and west
ideologies.
"The main source of oppression is the army and the oligarchy that supports right wing death squads," he said. Only the United States can break this dominance, but has seemed reluctant to think anything about the death squads, he said.
Evidence suggests that the death squads, which have targeted for death many church leaders, are connected to government security forces, he said.
He said that much of the oligarchy had left El Salvador, was living in Miami and sending money to the death squads in El Salvador.
Bremer said increased U.S. military support was not the answer.
"The UNITED STATES' providing military support only enables the government to carry on the killings," he said. "It's incredible to me that the U.S. can support this kind of corrupt regime."
He said that the Kissinger report, which recommended an $8 billion aid program in El Salvador, including $400 million of it, would greatly militarize the situation.
"It's essential to withdraw U.S. forces from the area and support reconciliations and negotiations within the region and the surrounding area." Bremer said.
Bremer said that the posture of the Roman Catholic church in El Salvador had changed in 15 years. Now the church has a formal form and has a preference for the poor.
"THE CHURCH IS rediscovering the poor and receiving courage from the poor."
The mission of the church, he said, is to minister to the victims of war, to create an atmosphere of reconciliation, and to seek social justice and reform.
But for its attempts the church has been called subversive and communistic, he said.

But for the Senate has this year given special recognition to Jack Hickey History Month Kevin Harrison, W i c h i t a sophomore and co-chairman of the Minority Affairs committee, said yesterday.
We thought it would be a worthwhile gesture for the University student body to officially recognize Black History Month," he
said.
"Our main goal is to improve communication between minority groups
The Senate resolution was part of an effort to recognize the accomplishments of black Americans brought up in response to the University Harrison seed.
For example, he said, Wilt Chamberlain, Gale Sayers, and Lynette Woodard are all blacks who have brought fame to KU.
Through such actions, the Minority Affairs committee is trying to revive interest. The committee almost became extinct last year after several committees were consolidated, Harrison said.
In the past, communication between campus minority groups and the Minority Affairs committee has not been what it should be, he said.
