Investor proposes Braniff rescue effort
John Latash, a longtime Kansas City-area security executive, said he had spoken with several area business leaders about finding 50 investors to invest $100 million to rescue Braniff, which filed for U.S. Bankruptcy Court protection in September. Braniff had planned to opera bite a big hub in Kansas City, Mo., before the filing.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City investor says he has discussed the possibility of forming a group of executives to invest in Braniff Inc. and operate it as a Kansas City, Mo., airline.

Latshew declined to name the executives with whom he had spoken, but he said he was interested in seeing a hub development in the city.
"Everyone I've talked to has been interested," Latshew said. "It's a long sheet right now, but I think it'd be great for our city."
Latshew, former chairman and chief executive officer of the B.C. Christopher Securities Co., also disclosed recently that he was considering making a tender offer for the Stifel Financial Corp., a St. Louis
Latshsh, a Kansas City area native, managed the central region office of E.F. Hutton & Co. Inc. for 38 years before joining B.C. Christophers
Latshew said he recently was affiliated with an airline when he was the second-largest shareholder and a board member of Hawaiian Airlines. Latshew has sold his interest in that carrier.
Lateshaw said that his proposal was in a preliminary stage and that he had not closely examined Braniff's financial condition nor spoken with

Braniff said last week that it had hired Merrill Lynch Capital Markets to explore the carrier's future, which included its possible sale.
the company's owners.
Right now, Latah said, his proposal is to find up to 50 investors in the company, all of whom would be on Braniff's board of directors.
Lutshaw said that if his proposal became a reality, a reorganization plan would be presented to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Orlando, Fla., where Braniff's case is being handled.
Bill bans bias against homosexuals
Massachusetts to become second state to pass such legislation
The Associated Press
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Senate gave final approval Monday to a bill banning discrimination against homosexuals in employment, credit and housing in what advocates said was a milestone in a 17-year battle.
"This is the single greatest victory that gay people in the United States have won in 1989," said David LaFontaine of the Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights. "I think by far and away the greatest impact of this bill will be the national resonance."
LaFontaine predicted that passage of the bill in Massachusetts would spur gay-rights efforts in other states. The state's House approved the measure last week.
Gov. Michael S, Dutakis said he would sign the measure and make Massachusetts the second state in the nation, after Wisconsin, to enact such legislation.
when I sign this bill Massachusetts will be able to ensure that all of the rights and the privileges that we all enjoy as citizens will not be denied to anyone based on sexual orientation," Dakukai said.
The Senate reserved the right to reconsider its 22-13 vote, but the measure's chief sponsor said that was just a formality.
"It has taken 17 long years,but
However, the battle could continue until the 1900 election. At least two people have promised to try to repeal any gay-rights legislation through a statewide vote.
"I think the last shutter just went up on the house," said Sen. Michael Barrett, a Democrat. "Everything is over but the celebrating."
The bill's chief Senate opponent, Republican Sen. Edward Kirby, scoffed at what he said amounted to a threat to a group based on their behavior.
"Why don't we have an amendment to the bill that protects members of the Flat Earth Society?"
Kirby said.
Sen. David Locke, a Republican, speculated that the measure would open the door to unreasonable protests against layoffs and firings.
"No longer will the standards be competence or ability or diligence or arriving on time or absenteeism. It will be whether or not they were fired because they were gay." Locke said. "This is a sad mistake."
The bill moved through the final stages of the legislative process after backers decided to seek House concurrence with Senate amendments that some homosexuals found offensive rather than risk a conference committee, which often become graveyards for controversial measures.
Among the amendments are provisions stating that the state does not endorse homosexuality, exempting religious institutions, and that the bill does not recognize homosexual partnerships.

Winter shows his 'ghoulish' political image
By a Kansan reporter
TOPEKA - A ghoulish green creature visited a legislative committee yesterday.
The crowd of about 25 people clucked as State Wint. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, shuffled into the hearing wearing a suit, tie and green rubber mask with stringy black hair.
"Happy Halloween to everybody," said Winter, chairman of the Special Committee on the Judiciary. "I'm told that legislators are usually pretty scary, anyway."
State Rep. Michael O'Neal, R-Hutchinson, smiled at his colleague's costume.
"You never looked better," he said.
Meyers used paste wax to clean the symbols off the car.
HALLOWEEN VANDALISM:
Satanic symbols and obscenities signed "by Satan" were spray-painted in black and red on the side of a student's car last night. Chrymeyer, Mission Hills junior, said he noticed it about 8 p.m..
A Lawrence Police spokesman said several callers had reported graffit painted on their cars by 11 last night. Only three reports had been filed because of a backlog of cases, the spokesman said.
The all calls had been in the area of Colony Woods Apartments, 1301 W. 28th St., the spokesman said.
GAS STATION THEFT: A sign that read “Open — Free Coffee” was taken on Monday night from a gas station in the 1500 block of 23rd Street. Lawrence police reported.
An employee reported the theft at 11:55 p.m. He said he discovered tire tracks leading to where the sign was, but the 6 feet by 4 feet sign valued at $400 was missing, said Chris' Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman.
WOMAN HITS OFFICER:
Lawrence police arrested a
lawrence woman yesterday
morning after she hit an officer in
the stomach while resisting arrest
on a municipal warrant, said Chris
Mulvenon, Lawrence police
reported.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said that officers arrived at a Lawrence man's apartment about 1:30 a.m. to arrest him on a municipal warrant. When an officer asked the man if he was alone, he said that his girlfriend had just left.
However, the officers heard someone in a bedroom and found a woman sitting in a closet. She told the officers her name, and they learned from the police dispatcher that the city had a warrant for her arrest.
Both the man and the woman were taken to the Douglas County Jail, Mulvenon said.
When one of the officers arrested her, she hit him in the stomach. He then arrested her for assaulting a police officer.
Correction

Because of a copy editor's error, information about closing dates of the old science library and opening dates for the Marian and Fred Anschcutt Science Library was incorrectly attributed. The information should have been attributed to Kathleen Neeley.

Whistler said that although researchers in the remote sensing program and at the Biological Survey thought the program would work, they weren't sure how close the
