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 then picked up a friend,
LeeAnne Nelson, 20, Claremore,
Okla., outside the bar and drove from
the bar.
Dawes' friends said he was involved
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 hubs. Dawes then disappeared.
Wylma Dawes said she last saw her son Saturday afternoon at her home in Lawrence where Dawes came to work on his car.
She said that he seemed upset about something, but she assumed that it was because Dawes was frustrated about his car. She said he was in a generally good mood when he left their home later that afternoon.

Fun and elegance brighten holiday attire
By Melanie Matthes
Kansan staff writer
As the holiday season nears, some KU students will be getting ready for formal events with tuxedos, tafeta and . . . socks. That's right, socks.
Linda Lester, co-owner of The Etc. Shop,
732 Massachusetts St., said that brightly colored socks were a hot item this season for men wearing the classic tuxedo.
"It's a way for the guys to have fun," she said.
Socks that come in solid colors and unique patterns accent the basic black tuxedo, Lester says. They are a departure from the classic carpenter that is a tradition at holiday parties.
Robert Lester, co-owner of The Ec. Shop,
said that few changes were in the tuxedo
itself this season. Black remains the most
popular color in formal wear for men.
The East and West Coast changes that have found their way to Lawrence, he said, are cuff link and stud jewelry, colorful leather, a headed cummerbunds and wide bow ties.
Jamie McReynolds, manager of Marks Bridal and Formal, 815 Massachusetts St., said that for men, designers added textures and weaves to the basic taxedo. Coattails are relics of the past and the focus is on jackets with straight hems.
"It's important to have fun with the styles this season," she said. "The fun is stressed more than the conservative."
She said that the era of Barbara Bush meant a season of velvet and pearls for

Kansan's regular typesetter fails
About 1 p.m. yesterday, the Kann's normal setting equipment ashed.
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 down if the system would be working in time for Friday's issue.
