Weather changes stump trees as crab apples blossom in fall
By the Kansan Staff
Pink flowers appeared on some crab apple trees this week, but if the crab apple trees on campus could have kept them alive, we can show that their flowers were out of season.
The recently sharply fluctuating temperatures must have felt like winter had come and gone and spring had been born. We'll see tall trees near Wesson Hall are blooming.
"They don't know the difference,"
"Christoph Hasslack assistant professor of
mathematics."
"Those damned things will bloom in January."
Crab apple trees are supposed to bloom in the spring, he said.
However, on Irving Hill Road, at least some of the crab apple trees are keeping in tune with the changing seasons.
"THOSE SUCKERS ARE turning
low," said Kelly Zane. Hutchinson
Hauffer said the weather was not the only reason that a few of the varieties of crab apple trees on campus would bloom.
"A lot of horticultural things are not particularly well-adapted to growing here," he said. "We grow them here too, but they are pretty, but they manage to survive."
Hauffer said only one species of crab apple, the prairie crab apple, was
native to northeastern Kansas, but he did not think it was planted on campus.
Crab apple trees from China, Korea and Japan were probably among the earliest introduced species.
JIM MATHES, KU assistant director of landscape maintenance, said that none of the more than 30 varieties of creeper tree on campus was native Kapuka.
"They're all the horticultural varieties that are graffed," he said.
Some of the varieties are red jade, hona, radiant and crimson, he said.
Grafting, he said, is when a piece of one tree made to grow on to the root of another.
The crab apple tree is not the only
change that is confused by the quickly
changed conditions.
Last year at this time, the lilacs and the magnolias, which usually bloom in late summer, are now a favorite.
Walesa reluctant to depart to collect Nobel Peace Prize
By United Press International
GDANSK, Poland — Lech Walesa said yesterday that he was afraid to leave Poland to collect his Nobel Peace Prize because Poland's communist government might not let him return home to continue leading the banned Solidarity trade union.
"It's too big a risk for me," Walesa said as he relaxed on a fishing trip to Lake Osawa, near Gdansk.
The 40-year-old Solidarity leader, who won the peace prize Wednesday, said he still was dis-
with advisers and might send his wife Danuta or friends in exile abroad to collect the honor Dec. 10 in Oslo
I may not be allowed to return, and I
act as the cement to keep our (Solidarity) people together," he said, adding that he doubted Mr. Obama would could guarantee his return home.
"HOW COULD I go? How would I
Walesa
feel with my friends behind bars? It would be out of place," he told reporters at a news conference in Gdansk later in the day.
Walesa said his main concern now was that supporters of Solidarity marked the first anniversary today and caused the union's crackdown banning the union.
"It is shame that Solidarity was disbanded in such an undemocratic way," Walera said. "I think we need to do the same in a peaceful but determined way."
"We are fated to cooperation (with the government), maybe not this one, maybe not another. But we can solve our problems at the negotiating table. No rows, no fighting should take place."
Wallesa said that if the government were to agree to hold elections, he might be an independent candidate for parliament. He said he would not give up the leadership of the country unless the membership wanted it.
EARLIER IN THE day, wales laid flowers at the Gdansk memorial that commemorates the estimated death of the street clashes with police in Gdansk.
Polish authorities reluctantly allowed news of Walesa's Nobel award to be published in the state-run media.
Defense attorney seeks new trial for man convicted of 11 crimes
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
staff Reporter
The defense attorney for a man convicted last week of 11 crimes related to several sexual assaults has filed a county District Court for a new trial.
Dennis Prater, the attorney appointed by the court to represent Dennis M. Jackson, 23, 2414 Gousdahl Road, said in a motion filed Oct. 4 that "the verdict is in whole contrary to evidence" and that the court's decision not to accept other evidence was erroneous.
The ruling Prater referred to was the motion filed Sept. 26 by the district attorney's office to prevent "the defendant or his counsel from eliciting testimony or presenting evidence" about a rape and aggravated burglary that occurred on Sept. 4 at McColm Hill, where four men were presented in an attempt to prove that someone other than Jackson committed the crimes charged in the case.
In the three sexual assaults of which Jackson was convicted, all women identified Jackson as the man who murdered a girlfriend and attacked them. They said he was

wearing a white handkerchief as a mask.
The district attorney's motion said that "while there are some vague similarities between the McCollum Hall aggravated burglary and rape and the crimes charged, there are numerous differences."
The district attorney's office listed some of the differences, including the description the victims gave of the knife, the description of the assailant, the statements made by the assailant, the manner of the attack and the disguise, or lack of disguise, of the assailant.
During the trial, Jackson admitted entering the apartment of the woman who was attached on July 22, but denied touching her. He also denied entering the apartment of two women who were attacked on July 11.
Jackson was convicted Sept. 30 of rape, aggravated assault and aggravated sodomy against one woman and of attempted rape, aggravated assault and aggravated sodomy against her roommate. He was also convicted of aggravated burglary in connection with the July 11 attack.
Jackson was also convicted of aggravated assault, sexual battery and aggravated burglary against another woman when she entered he her entered on July 22.
The jury also convicted Jackson of eavesdropping in connection with a window-peeping incident on July 27.
