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 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.
Dawes when picked up a friend,
LeeAnne Nelson, 20, Claremore,
Okla., outside the bar and drove from
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. 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.
"When he is upset, he doesn't stay

Winterwear can be hot (and keep you warm)
By Lisa Moss
Kansan staff writer
From union suits to silk long underwear and neon-colored wool coats, Jayhawks can keep their beaks warm in many ways as the cold, icy, snow winter months approach.
And never fear, there are ways to keep warm and look good all at once thanks to meals prepared in the kitchen.
From head to toe, Lawrence merchants provide many accessories for the winter
K. T. Walsh, buyer and salesperson for Sunflower, 804 Massachusetts St., said people would sacrifice fashion for keeping warm.
"We try to tell people they can keep warm, look great and be comfortable all day in the cold." she said.
Sunflower sells face masks, scarves and
alats huts to keep warm starting from the top.
Winter coats are the next step in keeping warm. Sunflower sells different coats such as synthetic fills, goose down, waterproof and ski jackets.
Walsh recommended longer coats for students.
"They cover more body," she said, "I also recommend a hood because when wind starts blowing on Mt. Oread, it gets bad."
Walsh said students needed something lightweight to carry to class.
For those who are more interested in looking good than staying warm, the leather jacket is a hot item this winter, but it is not as warm as a goose down coat.
cost from $165 - $295, and down filled coats from $105.
The Brass Buckle for Guys and Gals, 813 Massachusetts St., has leather jackets that
Walsh said she had sold a lot of flannel shirts and jackets.
"People are figuring out that layering is the trick to keep warm," she said.
"There are a lot of new fibers that both imitate and wick moisture off your skin," hairs say.
Advances in technology have made long underwear warmer than it used to be.

come in different weights
Red union suits are a popular Valentine's Dav presents.
People are buying tights and wearing them with everything. They are warm and are available in wild colors.
To match neon colored ski hats, Sunflower has neon colored socks.
"Wool socks have been going like crazy,
especially with neon color trim." Walsh sighs.
After a smart Jayhawk has bundled up in long underwear, tights, a long jacket, a neon-colored ski hat and the neon-trimmed wool socks to boot, he must find a pair of gloves to keep his hands warm and a pair of shoes to keep his feet warm and dry.
More technology in the business of keeping warm has introduced disposable hand heaters. When rubbed, they warm up and stay warm for up to twelve hours.
Walsh said Sunflower sold a lot of hiking boots, but not just for hiking.
"We sell a lot for campus wear, but actually, going up those hills is hiking. These will give you good grip on ice," she said.
Boots also have been improved by technology. A Gortex lining waterproofs winter boots.
Arenberg Shoes, 825 Massachusetts St. sells a lot of leather ankle boots that are not necessarily effective in the snow.
Some KU students keep their feet warm with Sporto duck boots, said Jeff Arensberg, co-owner of Arensberg Shoes.
He said people may buy destroyed leather ankle boots for the look, but when snow
