Students charged with setting bomb
By LILLIAN DAVIS Staff Reporter
Lawrence police arrested and charged two KU students with criminal use of explosives in connection with Tuesday morning's pipe bomb explosion at Naismith Hall.
Arrested were Overland Ran
sophomores, Robert Paul Leviich
and Benjamin David Chayman,
both 19-year-old Naisim residents.
District Attorney Mike Malone alleged that Levitch made the bomb at home in Overland Park on the Fourth of July and that Clayman brought it to the University of Kansas.
Kansas law states that making and transporting of explosives is a felony, punishable by one to five years in prison or a $2,500 fine or both.
"It wasn't set off to harm anyone or make a political statement," Malone said.
"Property was damaged and people could have been hurt," he said, to think what could have happened if someone had been in the stairwell.
"It goes beyond a prank."
Levitch and Clayman were arrested after police interviewed several Naismith residents.
Detective Carroll Crossfield said a Naismith staff member called police after overbearing a group of teenagers about who had set off the bomb.
Crossfield said the pipe bomb probably was the most dangerous homemade explosive, because of the shrapnel it produced.
"They are louder and more explosive than, let's say, plastic exosuit," Crossfield said. "People have been blown up while making them."
A pipe bomb usually consists of metal piping packed with explosives and capped at each end.
"It only takes one grain of firecracker powder to spark when the kid is screwed on, and the thing will go up." Crossfield said.
The bomb, which exploded Tuesday morning in a stairwell, blew out a window, knocked several holes in the cinder block walls and threw glass and debris on landings above and below.
"Right now we have no indication that they built the pipe bomb for anything more than to hear it go bang," Crossfield said.
The two students were released from jail yesterday afternoon after each posted a $500 bond.
The trial is scheduled for Sept. 11 in the Douglas County Courthouse.
Aid scarce for disabled
By TERESA RIORDAN Staff Reporter
The International Year of the Handicapped promises little for the approximately 150 disabled KU students who depend on financial aid.
Students concerned with disabilities discussed yesterday President Reagan's multi-billion budget cuts are drying up funds for handicapped students and rehabilitation grants and Pell, formerly Basic Education Opportunity Grants.
"Most people already on VR (vocation rehabilitation) benefits are probably safe for this year, but disabled people wanting to start school on VR benefits might as well forget it," Laura Moore, a counselor for the Lawrence Independent Living Resource Center, said at the meeting.
Many disabled students depend on
federal money to supply transportation, attendant care, tuition and counseling. And Moore said those funds were being used to pay for the "lowmen on the totem pole."
"This is unforgivable because VR is the one social service program that is cost-effective," Moore said. Moore is disabled, and vocation rehabilitation funds financed her education. She said educating handicapped people makes them producing citizens rather than dependents on government welfare.
"Now, I pay taxes and contribute to society," Moore said.
In his last year as a law student and aid recipient, Tom Kowalski said the boy would not cut off his funds, because he spent so much money on me so far."
But Kowalski, who is blind, said he was worried that other handicapped students who need financial aid won't be able to find it.
Evangelist makes religion his business
His itinerary reads like that of any other successful businessman, a

airwind of speaking engagements, business meetings and fundraisers.
But George "Jed" Smock, the hellfire evangelist who has preached in front of Flint Hall since Tuesday, is
evasive when the words "business" or
"profit" are applied to his calling.
"I think of evangelism as a business only in the way that Jesus spoke of when he said he had to attend to his Father's business," Smock said. "I think of evangelists making excessive amounts of money, but I'm not doing this for profit."
George "Jed" Smock—Evangelist
"However, I don't see anything wrong with living comfortably. I believe God wants us to live com- fortably, extravagantly, but comfortably."
He is less communicative, however, about the level of financial comfort his evangelism earns him.
Smock, a 38-year-old Terre Haute, Ind., native who brings his brand of "old time religion" each school year to universities in 34 states, speaks easily of his success on the college evangelical circuit.
"I don't think that it is the public's business how much money I earn," Smoke, an independent evangelist, said. "It is irrelevant whether I make a difference in my year. I assure you that the figure is to the $10,000 mark than the $100,000."
Smock quoted often from the Bible when discussing evangelism and profit-making, and said that Jesus, "the greatest of all," was not above living comfortably.
"Jesus said 'The poor you will have among you always.' "Smock said. "He is always depicted in rags, living a poor life. But he wore a robe costly enough for the Roman soldiers to want to gamble for it.
"Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus didn't go around in rags."
Smock said that he preferred to gauge success by the effect of his ministry rather than the amount of money he earned.
"Being successful is doing what God calls you to do," Smock said. "I have a powerful message for those who will be successful, and act upon it they will never be the same."
Smock, who has preached in Lawrence twice before, said he considered his work in Lawrence successful.

converted to Smock's brand of Christianity after hearing him speak, he said he had established good relations with several area churches.
Preeaching on campuses throughout the United States is only a part of Smook's ministry. A good deal of his knowledge, as said, is spent in financing his calling.
"Lawrence is a good place to come to," Smoock said. "The crowds are good, and there is a lot of support here from fellow Christians. And financially it's good here. I'll be speaking this weekend to at least two churches."
"I never solicit money from students, although some will occasionally give me a token amount," he said. "It takes money to operate my ministry. There are travel expenses, restaurant and hotel lodgings to be paid for."
"It's hard work, but not discouraging," Smock said. "God has called me to the campuses. My meeting today was the greatest event on campus, just most people don't know it."
Smock said that most of his funding came from churches, Christian businessmen and individual donations through the mail. Substantial funding, Smock said, enables him to carry his message to dozens of universities each week for as many as three days in on place before traveling to the next campus.
