Student pleads guilty in false alarm case
John L. McMillan, 18, Parsons freshman, pleaded guilty yesterday in Douglas County District Court to attempting to give a false alarm in connection with the fire that caused damages last fall in Naismith Hall.
Douglas County District Judge James W. Paddock gave McMilan a 60-day suspended sentence and placed him on probation in the State Department's services officer. Paddock also ordered McMilan to pay the $40 court costs.
McMillan told five Naismith residents that he had set the Nov. 6 fire at the private residence hall, and that he planned to set another
McMillan told Paddock yesterday that he was trying to be funny.
"The statement was given at an ill-conceived and sensitive time," Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney, said yesterday.
Attempting to give a false alarm is a misdemeanor which carries a possible sentence of 60 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
KU awards dictionaries to high school students
Over the last 10 years more than 20,000 high school honor students have been provided dictionaries through a secret benefactor.
Each year the Kansas Honors Program, directed by the University of Kansas Alumni Association, gives certificates and American Heritage Dictionary to Kansas high school students in the top 10 percent of their class.
The awards were made possible through a bequest made by a former KITL student, Frank G. Crowell.
Last year 2,127 students received
diplomas in 21,787 dictionaries
have been awarded.
This was the 11th year for making these presentations Clair Keizer, Alumni Association field director said yesterday.
Keizer said Crowell, who died in the early 1960s, asked that the money be used to recognize and help outstanding high school students in Kansas.
Bunny Seymour, administrative
adj. of the Bureau
Bunny Seymour, administrative assistant for the Honors Program, said, "The purpose of these awards is to "help other education in the state of Kansas."
Keizer said that 138 students from rural Johnson County would receive the awards in Oatton tonight.
Helen Sims, assistant director of the Kansas City Alumni Association office, also will present a slide show on the various types of higher education.
Cancellor Gene A. Budig, special University guest, will speak to the students about higher education.
"Some of the honor presentations are accompanied by a deserts reception or banquet, which is paid for by local KU alumni." Keerz said.
There are 33 Kansas Honors Programs. Each program includes one to six counties.
Seymour said the number of awards given in any certain program has ranged from 30 to 260.
KU-KSU tickets almost gone
By BARB EHLI Staff Reporter
Tickets for the Feb. 23 KU-K-State basketball game are going fast, and are almost gone.
"They'll (students) have to get them and the early part of next week, and then they'll be gone," Konzem said.
Only 500 student tickets, priced at $3,
remain. Richard Koncz, ticket manager,
said yesterday. The $6.50
are sold out, the public to the
public are sold out, he said.
In general, student tickets have not sold well this year, Konem said. The budget allowed for the sale of 6,400 tickets and was used as of Jan. 8, a 6,488 had been sold.
"I think the reason was the price increase and the lack of a Darnell Valentine type." Konzem said.
The ticket price increased last year from $15 for 14 games to $28 for 16 games, or $1.75 a game.
Even with the increase, KU ranks fourth in price per game for the Big Eight, Konzem said. K-State season tickets are $3 for each game; Oklahoma State University, $2; and the University of Missouri, $1.88.
None of those schools sold single game tickets, but all were able to sell all of their student season tickets, Konzem said.
Almost half of Allen Field House's 15,000 seats are allotted to students, Konzen are, which poses a problem when few season tickets are sold.

"My contact fell out," she says.
Curtis Anderson, Lawrence optometrist, said yesterday that people bought contact lenses for different reasons. Probably the biggest reason is
Anderson said people involved in various sports find contacts easier to wear than glasses.
"Looks good, Feels good"
He said a person should consider his or her lifestyle before buying contacts. If they don't wear their glasses all the time, contacts may not be very practical.
"People who don't like to wear glasses," he said, "will probably buy contacts."
81O W. 23rd Lawrence, Kansas (913) 843-2696
People who work around dust or chemical fumes are unable to wear contacts on the job, he said.
Optometrists examine eyes and, if necessary, fit people for glasses or contact lenses. Optometrists are required by federal law to give prescriptions for eyeglasses, but not for contacts.
One is that the "K" reading, the reading of the curvature of the cornes, must be accurate. Another reason is the reading of the contact must be correct.
He said people would often take their prescription for eyeglasses to an optical shop and try to have contact lenses made from it. This can cause problems, he said, because there are many factors in making the lenses.
"You can't get that information from an eyeglass prescription," he said.
He said that follow-up visits to the optometrist were very important for the patient. These visits are to make sure the patient is properly and that no problems develop.
If the person did not have an optometrist fit the lenses, he said, a doctor might not be able to help with any subsequent problems.
One problem might be if the lenses fit too tightly and not enough oxygen gets to the cornea, he said.
Anderson explained that the cornea, the transparent covering over the lens of the eye, has no blood vessels to carry oxygen. It must get oxygen from the outside air.
Problems can occur when the cornea is covered with a contact lens, he said. The lens must rest on the eye in such a way that air can get behind it.
The problem happens more frequently with hard contacts, he said. It is not as prevalent with soft lenses.

The newest type of contact lens is the extended-wear lens. A person can wear these lenses for a maximum of two weeks without taking them out.
"The biggest obstacle to overcome," Anderson said of the extended-wear lenses, "is being able to learn to sleep in them."
