New computerized system delays some KU paychecks
Tomorrow is payday for 7,000 KU employees, but 125 to 140 of them won't receive their checks.
the KU Endowment Association, however, has arranged to provide non-interest loans to employees who don't receive paychecks.
John Patterson, KU comptroller, said yesterday that some checks would be delayed because this was the first month that the University of Kansas was using a new computerized payroll system. KU payroll system is now required time to work out data problems on some special appointments, he said.
Patterson also said that employee appointments that reached the payroll office after Oct. 1 were considered late appointments, and that paychecks for those employees could be delayed until mid-November. The payroll office will notify those employees today of the situation.
If employees have problems with their checks, Patterson said, they should call Dick Steffen or Jackie Frame in the KU payroll office at 864-4385.

Bell trial motion to be argued today
A motion to suppress statements made to Lawrence police by Bryan Keith Bell, charged with the second-degree murder of Frank Seurer Sr., will be argued at 3 p.m. today in Douglas County District Court.
During a preliminary hearing in September, a police officer testified that Bell had told him that he had stabbed Seurier two or three times.
Seurer's body was found on the morning of Aug. 2 on the kitchen floor of his restaurant, Pop's Bar-B-Q, 2214 Yale Road. A deputy county coroner testified the preliminary hearing that Seurer, the father of KU quarterback Frank Seurer Jr., had been stabbed 23 times.
Students charged with theft of flag
During a hearing Friday, Associate District Judge Mike Elwell denied a motion for continuance of the trial date filed by Bell's attorney, Robert Duncan.

The results of that examination indicated that Bell was competent to stand trial, Elwell said.

Participants in seance stunned. skeptical
In the dark and dreary 7th Spirits Club below the Lawrence Opera House, a woman in a black-sequined gown set next to an almost intimidating sign.
"Can You Face The Future?" the sign demanded.
Her face was illuminated by the faint flicker of a candle as she spoke quietly to a stranger about his life and his future.
Dana Fitori, Overland Park, was stunned by the revelations that "Madame Ashley" told about her life, but Winitta freshman, remained skeptical.
FITORI AND Phillips were two of about 500 people who braved the rainy and chilly Saturday night to hear psychic Leah Ashley at the club, 642 Fifth Avenue. The station was billed by Lawrence radio station KLZR as "The World's Greatest Seance."
Fitori said that she was stunned that Ashley knew that she was concerned about a friend who was involved in a fight. "That was a bad decision that she had not let slip to Ashley any

information about the accident or the person involved.
Phillips was not as impressed with the Ashley's performance. He identified himself as Keith Moon and said that he was disappointed when Ashley did not figure out that Moon is the drummer for The Who.
"My private meeting lasted 20 seconds and it was wrong," Phillips said. "She said that I would be a successful businessman, but my goal in
life is to be anything but a businessman.
"She also said that I looked at the back of people's heads for 'auras' so I listened to them."
PSYCHIC READING is not a secret power, said Ashley, who is a partner with the Hypnosis-Metaphysical Clinic in Prairie Village. She said that all people have the ability but have not developed it.
"They must become aware of how to
pay attention to the fine detail of the senses, she said. "The body has as many muscles as it can."
Although Ashley is serious about her work, she said the short readings also provide entertainment. A thorough analysis makes she as long as three hours, she says.
"She's pretty commercial, but she's not a fake," said Dave Strout, the radio station's program director. "The general reaction has been favorable. I'm a woman. From what I hear she said some staff the was I pretty surprising."
'They were a highly intellectual group into the development of their minds, relationships, careers,' she said.
ASHLEY HAS A degree in secondary education from Central Missouri State University and has taken some graduate courses in psychology and counseling. She said she was particularly enthusied by the Saturday night crowd.

She said she did a high number of readings for people wanting professional careers — particularly doctors and lawyers.
