Disappearing act puzzles relatives Haskell joins search for student
By JENNIFER METZ 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 surroundings 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 bushes. Daves 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.

This fall, when many people open the door to their closets, they open the door to the world.
Countries of Africa, Asia, Central and South America are represented by the natural fibers and exported garments that have come from the hands of their natives
The natural fibers, comfortable casual-ness and hand-crafted diversity of imported clothing are making ethnic fashion a hot selling. Lawrence importers busy this year.
George Paley, owner of Natural Way Fine
Gifts and Exotic Jewelry, 820 Massa-
a St., said there was a stronger
market for ethnic clothing this year than in
the past.
He said he thought the comfort and style of the clothing brought the recent upsurge in demand. Palmy imports primarily for the island, Indonesia, Mexico and Guatemala.
Michelle Lehman, a clerk at the store, said vestes were very big this year, together with harem pants from Guatemala and Indonesia. Harem pants have baggy crothes and light weight and are made from rayon or cotton. Natural Way stocks them in solid, print and batik patterns.
Batiked clothing is trendy this fall. Batik is a dyeing method in which designs are made by covering parts of the fabric with removable wax. Soil Babala, a clerk at Ethnic Fashions, 733 1/2 N Hampshire St., said adira, or Nigerian batik clothing, had
He said traditional Nigerian cotton dresses and shirts were hot now. Ethnic Fashions sells authentic African clothing, jewelry and accessories.
been selling well.
Babaila said that silver Egyptian jewelry had been one of his hottest selling accessories. The store also sells jewelry with attached cowry shells, which are used in parts of Africa as money. The store stocks Guatemalan belts, funky hats and fun handwoven or leather bags with odd closures.
Ann Major, assistant manager at the Casahb, 803 Massachusetts St., said she sold a lot of clothing from Guatemala, Africa, Indonesia, Tibet and Nepal.
She said the ethnic trend was new and attributed it to the uniqueness of each handmade item.
"It's different. I think people like the natural fibers and handwoven look," Major said.
To complete or highlight the ethnic look, imported accessories, which also lend themselves to the goal of fashion diversity, have been a hot item for Lawrence retailers.
Beads have been on the forefront of the accessory lineup for the past couple of years. They have been popular sellers for do-it-yourself jewelry-makers. Everyone can make his own unique bracelets and necklaces, with the same types of beads to fit his personality.
"Beads are very hot." Major said.
