New entrance to add safety at apartments
By the Kansan Staff
The KU office of housing has submitted a $3,500 request to the state purchasing office to accept bids for construction of a security entrance to the office of Jawahar Towers, the assistant director of housing said yesterday.
The security entrance proposal is the result of a petition that was circulated pmong Tower C residents in September. Jayhawker Towers officials said that the petition was circulated because of concerns about vandalism.
' Scott Joslove, assistant manager of the Towers, has said that almost all of Tower C's signed the petition.
The petition asked the housing office to provide an entry system similar to that of Tower B, which is restricted to women and has a 24-hour security entrance.
Steve Keel, assistant director of housing, said he hoped the new entrance would be installed by the beginning of the second semester.
Residents of Tower C will receive keys to the tower entrance in addition to their apartment keys, Joslove said.

KU debaters fire up in tournament and argue issue of hazardous waste
By CHRISTY FISHER Staff Reporter
An excited young man slammed his fist down on the table and rebuked his opponent for failure to recognize a valid point on the issue of hazardous waste disposal.
The 15th annual KU fall debate tournament offered the emotional, rapid-fire rhetoric usually associated with activists in the heat of a campaign.
Fifty-eight teams came to the University of Kansas Friday, armed with three-by-five index cards, legal pads and ballpoint pens. They came ready to debate the issue of hazards on campus at a tournament conducted in Wescoe Hall over the weekend and in the Kansas Union yesterday.
ALTHOUGH KU DEBATERS couldn't participate in the tournament's final rounds because they hosted the event, the tournament offered experience for novice debaters to experiment with techniques in preliminary rounds that would
When the KU debate team boasts of being number one, it's more than just rhetoric. Last year two seniors were
the National Championship title, making KU the nation's top debate team.
'It's hard to do and it's hard to win. But when you do win, you get an individual sense of satisfaction.' — Jim Reed, St. Louis junior
Not all KU debaters were unable to compete this weekend. The team of Jerry Gaines, Houston senior, and David Rhaessa, Salina senior, took part in the team they competed with teams at Georgetown University in Atlanta, Ga.
In the KU tournament, Macalester College, St. Paul, Minn., won in the senior division. Baylor University,
Waco, Texas, defeated Macalester in the junior division.
Dom Parson, professor of communications and coach of the 48-member debate team, said that a wide variety of students enjoy the opportunity to match wits and plan strategy against their opponents. However, though, does have its costs, debaters said. They often have to miss classes and have little free time.
"Thethey like to argue and think about public policy," said Parson, whom the debaters jokingly refer to as Yoda after the ancient "Star Wars" characters in a movie, or be in an advocacy situation or in a teaching situation in their careers."
PARSON, WHO HAS been the coach for 18 years, said that many of the debaters also spend a tremendous amount of their time in the stacks of questions, digging up information with the intent of crippling their opponents.
Jim Reed, St. Louis junior, said debate had many advantages.
"It's hard to do and it's hard to win," he said. "But when you do win, you get an individual sense of satisfaction."

Local group starts campaign to replace Harper in DA post
By the Kansan Staff
In reaction to unrest in the Douglas County district attorney's office, a group of Lawrence residents is circulating a letter to raise support for Republican Jim Flory to run for the district attorney post next year.
Although the election is a year away, a group of 15 Lawrence residents, calling themselves the Friends of Flory Committee, Sunday mailed out 250 letters to other residents asking them to support Flory.
Flory, who is deputy attorney general for the criminal division of the Kansas attorney general's office, expressed an interest in the post more than a year ago, after Democrat Jerry Harper was selected to fill the spot vacated by Mike Malone.
FLORY, A LAWRENCE native and 1987 KU School of Law graduate, said he was aware that the committee was starting the letter campaign and said
he was interested in the job. He plans to make his decision about running sometime after the first of the year.
Harper was in court all day and was unavailable for comment.
In the letter, the group touched on the controversy surrounding Harper's tenure.
In September, Harper became involved in a feud with state Attorney General Robert Stephan about the way marijuana investigations were being conducted. Stephan was spending his time burning fields instead of catching the growers.
The letter also criticizes Harper's personnel problems, citing the resignation of three assistant district attorneys last month.
"Since the present District Attorney assumed office slightly more than a year ago a number of experienced staff members have resigned and relationships with other elected officials, law enforcement personnel and community agencies have hit an all-time low," the letter said.
