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 then 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.

Tattoos make mark on campus

Jaci Walsh remembers the day she got hers.
"March 3, 1989," she said in an official tone.
Eric Frederick said his father altered his opinion after he got his.
"My dad was in the Navy and associated them with lower-class people," Frederick said. "He changed his story in a hurry."
Jodi Breckenridge said she wouldn't go back for seconds.
"One's enough," she said. "It hurt too bad."
All this fuss is about an ancient art form turned campus trend — the tattoo.
"Tattooos have always been popular among that particular age group," said Gary Barber, also known as Professor Inkslinger, a tattoo artist in Oatley. "We're not the only people who are more acceptable with people in their teens and 20s. It's crossed over boundaries."
Prof. Inskeller said between 15 percent and 20 percent of his clients were college students.
"I've done an awful lot this year," he said. "There's been a significant upsurge from Lawrence in the last two years."
Walsh, Laguna Niguel, Calif., senior,
went to Prof. Inkslinger's with two of her
roommates to get her tattoo. She walked out
with a small $20 rose inside her left hip
bone.
"I could not have done it on my own," Walsh said of the experience. "But it's not a group effort. It's a very individual decision . . . because it's permanent."
Breckenridge, Topeka senior and former KU cheerleader, had a miniature, four-color Jayhawk tattooed on her left ankle at a parlor in her hometown for $30. She said she thought it was a fitting way to express herself.
"It's neat to have one because it's a Jayhawk, and it will remind me of things as I grow up," she said.
a tattoo of two red, white and blue crossed oars on his right shoulder represents a goal for Frederick, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, and member of the Kansas Crew.
"I hope to make the national team," he
said. "I haven't regretted it, and I don't
think I will."
Walsh said she contemplated her decision for about a month and had many questions once she arrived at Prof. Inkslinger's.
"I asked questions about sterile needles," he said. "I was very self-conscious about it."
Prof. Inkslinger said Walsh's cautious approach was the proper one.
"People ask questions, and that's the first thing they should do to make sure it's clean," he said. "That's simple, common sense."
To ensure cleanliness of his stainless-steel equipment, Prof. Inkslinger said he used an autoclave and a ultrasonic cleaning tank that cleans between tubes and the tips.
Prof. Inkslinger said the procedure began with cleaning and shaving the area to be tattooed. He said he applied antiseptics to the area and then adhered a temporary
