Kansan staff writer
Last night, more than 100 faculty, staff and students from Haskell Indian Junior College continued the search for Cecil Dawes Jr., a former Haskell student and recently disenrolled KU student.
The group searched the banks of the Kaw River, railroad tracks and surrounding neighborhoods near the Los Amigos Saloon, 508 Locust, where Dawes was last seen early Sunday morning.
Dawes is a 21-year-old, 5" 11" male and weighs between 185 and 190 pounds. He has short black hair, brown eyes and has scars above his left eye and his right cheek, said Wylma Dawes, his mother.
Dawes' friends said he was involved.

the bar.
Dawes' abandoned car was hit on train tracks at 225 N. Michigan St. nearly three hours later. Nelson said Dawes parked the car on the tracks, got out and told her to hide in the bushes. Daves then disappeared.
Wylima Dawes said she last saw her son Saturday afternoon at her home in Lawrence where Dawes came to work on his car.
Cecil Dawes, Lawrence, looks down the Kansas River. A search began for his son. Cecil Dawes Jr., yesterday evening.

But having it can cause problems. Weidner was sent home from his job working in a grocery store one day because of the length of his hair. He never went back.
"I won't cut it for somebody else," he said. "But, if I'm getting an offer that's more important than the length of my hair then I'll consider it."
Serious employment difficulties never arose for long-haired Augusta sophomore Brandon Worrell. He said he had other problems, however. At one party, someone approached him and threatened to cut off Worrell's ponytail.
Worrell onted to keep his hair.
Brown said many of his long-haired male clients came in for conditioning or for a trim. Rarely do they ask him to reduce the length. They have fun growing it long, he said.
"When you've got short hair and you're a man, what can you do?" he asked. "Any kind of a job where style is not dictated to you, people want to change their hair. Growing your hair out is one way."
The way people categorize long-heired individuals will not soon change. Brown said.
"Society views people with longer hair as more radical. And they are," he said. Heim said that he wasn't a radical or a
Hem said that he wasn't a radical of a hippie. For him, long hair was a necessity.
"My neck is too scrawny to have short hair," he said. "I cut it once. I just felt naked without it. I felt like I didn't have underwear on or something like that."

Kansan's regular typesetter fails
About 1 p.m. yesterday, the Kanan's normal typesetting equipment rashed.
The reasons for the crash were unknown, and the system was not running in time for the Kansan's regular deadlines last night.
The School of Journalism provided several Macintosh computers to produce this issue.
As of 2 a.m. today, it was not known if the system would be working in time for Friday's issue.
