KU Iranian student gives up to police
Staff Reporter
By LILLIAN DAVIS Staff Reporter
A tip from a friend prompted an Iranian KU graduate to himself in to the advance training, be said knowledgeable.
HOWEVER, Rafie refused to comment on where he had been.
Manoucher Rafie, 1528 Tennessee St., said he had been unaware that KU police had a warrant for his arrest last week because he had been out of town.
"I'd rather not tell," Raife said. "What does it matter?"
KU police had been looking for Rafe in connection with the Sept. 12 fight that broke out between two factions of Iranian students at the Kansas Union.
The fight, which caused damage to the Union and injured one student, occurred when a pro-Khomeini group stormed a meeting of antifa activists in Tehran on March 12. Association has been fined $100 for the damage.
"The whole thing is no big deal." Rafie said.
"They're trying to make a hassle out of it."
Mike Elwell, Douglas County district judge,
will be assigned to decide of disorderly conduct and get laid up at $50 Friday
Rafie said he was "100 percent pro-Khromeani.
There's no question about it." He declined to say
what he thought of the comment.
Rafie pleaded not guilty and posted bond immediately.
TWO OTHER IRIANAN men, whom KU police arrested Sept. 25, are also out on Douglas County jail.
Dick Schrader, KU detective sergeant, said Rafie was arraigned the same day he turned himself in because Judge Elwell was in the process of arraigning other cases.
"I didn't even know that he had been arrested until he was freed on bond," Schrader said.
Schrader, who has been investigating the case.
said Rafie was a full-time student and not in violation of his 'immigrant student' status.
"I did not call the Immigration and Naturalization Service because he is taking a full load. However, I might call them Monday just to see if that he has been arrested," Schrader said.
The other two men arrested in the incident, Amir Zerkgoo, 232 Pine Cone Drive, and Siazash Khagavi, 1600 Huskell Ave., were charged with assault and battery in Douglas County District Court.
AFTER ZEKRGOO and Khagavi posted bonds of $1,000 and $1,500, INS took them into custody and charged them with violating their "immigrant student" status.
INS charged that Zekrgko and Khagavi were not enrolled in the required 12 credit hours at an accredited university, which they needed to remain in the country.
The men stayed in the Kansas City, Kan, jail overnight on these charges until each附注 INS bonds. Zekrogo's was $750 and Khagavi's was $1,000.
THEY ARE SCHEDULED to face a deportation hearing on Oct. 21.
The preliminary hearing on the Douglas County charges has been set for today. However, their attorney, Henri J. Watson, said last week that he planned to ask for a continuance of the hearing to provide him with more time to prepare the case.
Although Watson may be granted the Douglas County continuation, George Geil, Kansas City district director for INS, said last week that he would go to postpone the date of the deportation hearing.
WATSON WILL represent Zekrgoo and Khagavi in both Douglas County and the INS station.
Rafie is scheduled to face his preliminary hearing on Oct. 19. He said he did not know yet who his lawyer would be.
Residents' complaints threaten block parties
Staff Reporter
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
Block parties may be things of the past if Lawrence city commissioners get many complains about late-night noise and inconsiderate party-goers.
Commissioners, who approve the roadblocks and time limits for parties on city streets and other outdoor parties, have received several letters asking about the block parties thrown so far this semester.
City Commissioner Donald Binns, said that he had not received many party-related complaints so far this year, but that the other commissioners had received more.
"If they get enough complaints, they probably be hesitant to approve future plans." Bimsa
He said that commissioners would have to receive complaint to stop giving approval to the project.
City Commissioner Nancy Schonz said that she had received calls from distressed Lawrence and her husband.
"One person called me three times because she was upset that the music was being played at the concert."
Those complaints were about the Naismith-Oliver block party on Sept. 28 that the Commission had approved. Roadblocks for Naismith Village from 18th to 19th streets block Naismith Drive from 18th to 19th streets.
the party was to end at 11 p.m., but Schonz said
that the music was still playing too loud, and said
 that the music was still playing too loud.
The Commission and the sponsors agreed that
The resident hall directors of both Naismith and Oliver Halls were unavailable for comment. John Long, one of Oliver's assistant hall directors, refused to comment on the party and said that all questions about the party had to be referred to the hall's director.
"I think when deadlines are set, the kids are going to have to go by them," Schonz said.
Another party Schontz received complaints about was the "Pifestfest" party, held in the back yard of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, 2000 Stewart Ave.
Residents who live on the dead-end streets east of the fraternity complained that party-goers parked on their streets, walked through their yards and garages and in one instance, torne down a fence that separated a neighbor's yard from the party area.
Angela Martin, a resident of one of the dead-end streets east of Pi Kappa Alpha, said that she did not mind if the Greek houses on Stewart would not only have more respect for their neighbors.
Martin, 1748 W. 20th St. Terrace, said, "I get aggravated, but I don't want to completely run them down. Young people have to have entertainment, but they could be more considerate
"That complaint did bother me," Schonz said. "I think going through people's eyes ought to be more difficult."

Vendors come up dry on rainy day

Twelve-year-old Scott Johnson ignored the rain.

drops fell continually from the case of his drinks he carried through Memorial Stadium Saturday. His mop of wet, brown hair attested that he wasn't scared of a little rain.
Johnson made his next-to-last sale of the 15,000-seat Buick GS sedan with quarter of the KU-Akansas State zambia game.
"There isn't any ice in this," the customer complained Saturday.
"What do you expect," Johnson replied, as he fished for wet coins in his change bag.
He turned, glanced up at the game and started down the steps again.

Everyone was huddled beneath umbrellas and sheets of elastic.

"I haven't been selling much," Johnson said, looking back over his shoulder and still climbing up the steps. "Nobody's drinkin' today."
"You have to learn to count change," he said. "Some of the college kids will say they gave you a 20 when they really gave you a dollar."
He marched onward, unworried that his rapid pace might be hard to keep up. Fans would occasionally taunt him or ridicule his efforts.
"Why don't you spill one on yourself," a voice in the crowd said.
"No way," Johnson replied as he quickened his pace.
Up and down he climbed, oblivious to the monsoon around him. He passed sections of cold fans who wanted anything but something that was wet.

Cable TV thieves risk police reception
One type of theft occurs in the privacy of the thief's own home.
This theft does not involve property. It involves a service—eable television—but it can be stolen from that service.
The Douglas County district attorney's office usually prosecutes from four to five people a year for illegal tapping of Cablevision, Harry Brown, assistant district attorney, said last week.
David Clark, general manager of Sunflower Cablevision in Lawrence, said that he had turned over several cases of illegal cable television tapping to the district attorney's office for prosecution but that he had removed many more illegal bookings.
"Most of the time, we just knock on the door, inform the resident that he has an illegal hookup and disconnect it without any more problems, Clark said.
He said that he was not particularly concerned
about the illegal hookups, but that he would not hesitate to prosecute.
"There are about eight million ways to hook in cable illiterally." Clark said.
usually people tap into existing nearby lines, taking signals off that line and causing problems for their neighbor's reception.
"I's easy for our people to spot the illegal hookup because it causes problems for the community."
A cable runs from a box on a utility pole, usually located in the back of the building, to the television set. Clark said that sometimes people broke into the box to tap into a neighbor's line.
One student, who lives in an eight-apartment complex, said, "One day I was watching cable, and all of a sudden the picture went fussy." Apparently, someone from another apartment had unplugged her line from the box in order to connect his own line.
The people tapping the cable illegally will get cable, but the picture is usually fuzzy. Clark said.
these people who were getting cabals told me, "but I’ve never seen what you would consider a watch家."
To receive cable television "free," $p$ person needs to adjust and hook certain wires onto his TV set. When a cable company protects, it uses a wire has been physically hooked up to the set.
Subscriptions for cable television start with a "basic cable" at $8 each month. On top of that basic rate, subscribers can pay for extra services such as Home Box Office, a movie service.
Some people, who already pay for the basic service, obtain HBO for "free" by buying or making a device to unscramble the HBO picture code.
One KU student, who said he received the basic subscription on his set because Cablevision had forgotten to disconnect service from the previous tenant, said he was getting HBO from a homemade descrambler. He said he made his descrambler out of a two-by-four and 16 feet of wire that he connected into the HBO hookups on his set.
Another student, who lives in an apartment complex that subscribes to basic cable, said that by attaching an extra six-inch wire to his See CABLE page 5.

Student recovering quickly from rugby accident

Freshman famished hopes to visit friends during semester break
TOPKEA—Mike Herrick, Winfield freshman, plans to be out of traction in time to celebrate his 21st birthday on Dec. 3.
"The doctor said I might be out," he said in Topeka's Stormont-Vail Medical Center. "If not, this hospital's gonna see things it hasn't seen before."
Ever since Herrick broke two vertebrae in his neck on Sept. 19 while playing with the KU Rugby Club, he has rebelled against the onset of paralysis.
"I saw my X-ray's today," Herrick said. "The two vertebrae are supposed to be straight. They go into a jug into the spinal cord." He drew an illustration of the vertebrae with his new functional right hand.
ALTHOUGH HERRICK said he couldn't play rugby again, his doctor had told him he will have to wear the shirt.
The X-rays were the initial ones taken immediately after Herrick was hurt.
NOW THE BONES are straight, he said,
thanks to the 100 pounds of traction he
years of working with them.
After two weeks of hospital foot, Herrick was yeaing for pizza and hamburgers.
ALTHOUGH HE IS losing weight, Herrick's condition has improved immensely. His progress has been so fast that he may be sitting up in a few weeks.
Herrick said he would be in traction until the bones fuse, probably sometime in December.
Get-well cards are taped to the wall and several plants, including one in an old tennis shoe, fill the windowwall. A cassette player plays the shows and talks books to divert boredom.
"I'm gonna lose about 20 pounds," he said. "I was 165 before. With 20 pounds off, I'm gonna be able to lift."
"The doctor said this morning that maybe in weeks, I can be sittup in up a body cage," he said.
Herrick rilled his eyes as he complained about his thin frame.
"My legs are fine. They came back perfectly." Herrick demonstrated the weakness that remains in his left arm, struggling to lift it off his lan.
He landed on his left side when he fell in a rugby scrum, or huddle, separating his shoulder.
so it is not healing as quickly as the rest of his body.
TIME IS THE ONLY thing Herrick needs a lot of right now. Time to let his body recover from it.
"I'm just letting things heal right now," he
said, almost rushing it. "There's still
speaking in the background."
He also has damaged nerve endings in his shoulders.

like it's on fire', he said. "I had to already started some rehabilitation exercises, testing his muscle."
"It feels like the muscles are here; it's a matter of retraining my brain," he said.
Herrick spends about four hours a day in his office, where he works as a therapist, and moving his arms and legs.
HE EVENTALLY WILL work up to swimming, weightlifting and sessions in the whirlpool.
A cardboard sign on the wall has instructions to rotate Herrick from his back to his side every 80 seconds.
