Robbery suspect faces several felony charges
By DON HENRY Staff Reporter
A Douglas County District Court judge yesterday bound over for trial David Jaxckson Jr., a Kansas City, Mo., who is charged with robbing the First National Bank's branch branch on Jan. 24.
Judge Mike Elwell said a trial date would be set at a bearing March 4, when Jackson's accused accomplice, Eric W. Styles, would also appear.
ELWELL DISMISSED one count of felony auto theft that had been filed against Jackson because the district attorney had failed to prove that the stolen car, a 1968 Ford, was worth the $100 required for the charge.
Jackson is now charged with armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault of a police officer, one count of auto theft, aggravated assault, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, burglary and resisting arrest.
Jackson told her to fix him a cup of coffee, which she did, she said. She said that while she had listened to Jackson load his run, she had read the paper
AT YESTERDAY'S hearing, a KU student testified that shortly after the robbery, an armed man, whom she identified as Jackson, had entered her apartment in the Oaks Apartments, 2357 Ridge Court, about three blocks from the bank.
She had watched from her window as police searched the area around her apartment, she said She was afraid of Jackson, she said. But Jackson had
never verbally threatened her, she said.
JACKSON TOLD her to call a cab, she said, and she walked with him to the cab when it arrived. Jackson did not touch her except when he put his arm around her while they were walking to the cab, she said.
Victor Wilkins, a cab driver, said he had picked up a man, whom he identified as Jackson, at the Oaks Apartment and took him to 1600 Haskell Ave.
Demetria Morrison, who lives in apartment 139 at 1800 Haskell Ave. said Jackson, whom she called "DJ," had arrived at her apartment about 11 a.m. shortly after the robbery.
Morrison said Jackson had entered her house and had told her to hide a gun. When police arrived, Morrison said, she gave them the gun.
MICHAEL SUITT, a Douglas County sheriff's office detective, said that when he arrived at 1600 Haskell Ave., he found a gun and some clothing, which Morrison said Jackson had brought with him in a bag, on a couch in Morrison's apartment.
Kenneth McKenzie, a Lawrence police officer who had been at the Oaks Apartments, testified that he found a 44-caliber Magnum handgun and 'a pair of yellow rubber gloves on the floorboard of a old RedMold, which was intercepted by police at the Oaks Apartments.
Police said Styles had been driving the car, which had been commanded from David Dart, Lawrence senior.

Debaters win tournaments
KU debaters won most of their debates last weekend, and two debaters teamed up to take three place at the Harvard National Debate Tournament, the director of forensics program said yesterday.
"Anytime you have a team that places in the top five, that's an outstanding accomplishment," said Donn Parson, the director.

City to draft new ordinance
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
Soil protection may affect KU
KU building projects may be included in the next draft proposal to control soil erosion in Lawrence, a city commissioner said yesterday.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said the University of Kansas and other state-owned land within the city should not be exempt from an erosion ordinance.
He said that after KU buildings were constructed, run-off was directed to an underground drainage system of storm sewers.
The first draft proposal, written by the city's public works staff, was rejected earlier at last Tuesday's city commission meeting.
Alan Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said that during construction projects only small amounts of run-off had occurred.
"I am not sure of the legal ramifications because state land within a city is usually not subject to city regulations." Shontz said. "University officials should be responsible for soil loss from the University and the city's drainage system."
IF UNIVERSITY land were included in an erosion ordinance, KU would have to comply with acceptable rates of soil erosion during new construction.
DUANE SWCHADA, an area land developer, said the staff must have
Shontz said the commission would not accept the staff's draft proposal.
form when they assessed the city's erosion problems.
"Some provisions of the draft destroyed the purpose and intent of the ordinance. Personally, I would like to remove the exemptions," she said.
In the first draft, land under agricultural use, developments of 10 acres or less and street paving projects were not included.
Schwanda said the bulk of erosion was caused by the draft's exemptions.
Curt Sorenson, an associate professor of geography who teaches soil courses, said that Lawrence needed an ordinance dealing with erosion.

"Prevention measures may not be needed in some areas." Sorensen said. "But to make a blanket statement, we must make sure the evidence is like painting with a wide brush."

HE SAID Lawrence had soil that was particularly susceptible to wind erosion, too.

Clayey and silty soils are characteristic of the Lawrence area, he said. The more silty soil is, the more susceptible it is to erosion.

SHONTE said the proposal would deal more specifically with land in the city limits that had been cleared of buildings for building or farming reasons.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has offered to give the city technical assistance in preparing the next proposal, she said. The city commission will discuss a new creation craft proposal in a study session March 14.
prevent some farmers who had farmland inside the city limits from plowing too close to drainage ditches, which increased erosion.
would probably include acceptable rates of erosion calculated from the Universal Soil Loss Equation, she said. Soil scientists use the equation to measure the soil loss in an area by determining the effects of rainfall, soil erodibility, length of slope studied, and amount of vegetative cover in the use of burp sacks by builders to retain moisture and existing erosion control practices.
Brian Kubota, a local landscape architect, said he did not think erosion caused by construction was a problem in Lawrence.
Shontz said the city should be able to
