Toymaker's story ends in vindication
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter
The lawyer told the parable of Bryan, a young, gifted teacher, who bought the perfect building for his craftsmanship.
But Bryan's building was taken away from him by the kingdom and the kingdom must pay his debt.
Anderson's case ended yesterday in Douglas County District Court after two days of hearings.
The jury listened rapidly and yesterday, after an hour-and-a-half deliberation, returned what the lawyer, John Hamilton, would later call a witness to his tale: a $100,000 award by Bryan Anderson.
Anderson sued the city of Lawrence for just compensation after the city condemned and razed his building at 600 Massachusetts Street year to make way for an off-street parking lot
Two of Anderson's supporters showed their delight by hugging him as he left the courtroom.
THE SOFT SPOKEN Anderson, however, did not show any joy at the verdict.
"I feel more reliant than anything," he said.
"I have tried to treat the good of you even this."
I spent two to three years of grief over this. Anderson, who bought the building from Kansas Color Press, Inc., in 1977 to use as a toy factory, said that he would try to find another building, but that he was thinking about leaving Lawrence.
"Some of what has happened has left a bad taste in my mouth about Lawrence politics."
After Anderson's building was condemned, he refused to leave it, and even dressed as Santa Claus and chained himself inside to one of the building's concrete pillars. Sheriff's deputies eventually cut Anderson loose and escorted him from the building.
Even after the building fell to the wrecking ball, the issue of 600 Massachusetts Street did not死. The safety of the new parking lot became an issue and Lawrence City Commissioners fought over the manner in which Anderson's building was taken.
"After the taking of the Bryan Anderson building, many felt that nothing was safe downtown," Commissioner Nancy Shontz said at a speech given at the University Wednesday.
BUT THE PARKING lot was built and the anderson's heart was away, at least until Anderson's hearing started.
Earlier this year, a city-appointed appraiser estimated the value of the Andrew building at $18.4 million, the highest value it has ever received.
The jury's "special verdict" of the fair market value of the building settled the controversy.
"We looked at all of the assessments of the building and leaned more toward Anderson's witnesses," Burt Mitchell, jury foreman, said in reply. "The arguments were more convincing."
Anderson hired two real estate appraisers who estimated the value of the building at $186,000 and $196,000. Anderson's own estimate of the building was $200,000.
The $10,000 settlement was far above the city appraiser's estimate between $102,000 and $104,500.
"Dovitiously I don't feel that ($190,000) would be the building," Geraldo Cooley, the city's attorney, said.
**COOLEY DIDN'T** rule out an appeal of the
**COOLEY DIDN'T** any decision to appeal
would be up to the commission.
Hamilton said the building was worth more than the city's estimate because it was stricter.

Coleman's silence over veto perplexes student senators
Coleman confirmed yesterday that he had prefied a letter saying he had vetoed the bill and stating his reasons, but he refused to say what his final position would be.
said last night that he thought Coleman had already vetoed the bill.
"I have considered it and I have made up my mind one way or the other," he said yesterday,
Student Body President Bert Coleman's possible veto of the Student Senate fall supplementary budget has confused the Senate offices staff and at least one senator.

"He turned in an explanation and a letter last Friday." Bolton said, and added, "I think there’s some truth to it."
HANGING in the balance of Coleman's decision is $20,000 in funding for student organizations from now until the end of the end of the fiscal year in July.
"The possibility is very good that he'll witn from our past conversations, but I'm not sure," said Bren Abbott, body student vice president. "He's been trying to discourage him from vetting it."

Jury convicts man of rape, sodomy
By LILLIAN DAVIS
Staff Reporter
A Douglas County jury convicted a 21-year-old Lawrence man of rape and oral sodomy after deliberating about an hour-and-a-half yesterday.
Sherman L. Galloway, 3722 Brush Creek Drive, was convicted by a jury of nine women and three men after three days of testimony, including that of the victim and Galloway's wife.
As Douglas County district judge Ralph King read the guilty verdict, the 25-year-old victim pleaded not guilty.
The former KU student testified Monday that Memorial Drive behind Hall was jingling.
She said when she heard someone behind her,
she looked over her shoulder and saw a man
laughing.
she screamed or did not do what he wanted her to do.
She said he repeatedly threatened to kill her if
"Before I could react, he grabbed my hair, pulled back my head and put a knife to my shoulder."
GALLOWAY DRAGGED her down an incline to a bushy area, she said, pushed her to her knees, forced her to perform oral sex repeatedly and raped her.
During the struggle, Galloway bit the victim on her arm and both acquired numerous bruises.
"By that time I decided I would rather die," she said.
"I noticed that his jeans were around his ankles and I decided that he would have a hard shoulder."
She said she grabbed his knife and as she lay in a half prone position and kicked him in the heel.
The woman then ran up to Memorial Drive where she got into the car of another KU student who was nearby.
The student, Paul Mott, Eudora junior,
affirmed that he took the vision to honor.
The evidence presented by assistant District
Attorney Greg Hammel were articles found by KU police at the scene of the attack and testimony by medical experts and police officers.
KU POLICE testified that they found GUYAWA's wallet, watch, comb and belt at the scene.
Defense attorney Jeff Heeb maintained that Galloway's wallet and watch had been taken from him during a mugging at Hillcrest Shopping Center that same night.
However, KU police厅. Wade Rider testified that during an interview with Galloway the night of the rape, Galloway told him he had lost the man he was in a story and said he had been mugged at 9:45 p.m.
The next day when Galloway reported the mugging, Lawrence police officer Catherine Thomas said, he told her the mugging had occurred between 10:30 and 10:35 m.
Also, Galloway gave conflicting reports about the race of his alleged attackers.

Fraser's flags flying high since 1939
Gordon Schulenberg, housekeeping supervisor for Fraser Hall, lowers one of the flags from inside a tower in the top of the building.

Inside a large room on the eighth floor of Fraser Hall, electronic elevator equipment
He went up the staircase, through a locked door, then up another spiral staircase. Finally, on a metal grid platform, he and two employees began their task of lowering the flags.
George Thatch, who raises the flags at 7:15 a.m. each day, yesterday showed the way to a narrow spiral staircase that led up inside the south tower.
The flags on Fraser Hall snapped a staccato rhythm in the wind more than 20 feet above them.
SUDDENLY, the blue sky that had been visible through a small porthole in the top of the tower was replaced with the blue KU flag and resident supervisor Gordon Schulenberg.
"Usually when they're poppin' like that, we try to get them down," said Lucille Lee, area supervisor for facilities operations housekeeping division yesterday.
The wind was blowing too hard to keep the flags flying and the facilities operations employees strained as they pulled the flags in.
The pair held the rope tightly because if the flag had gotten away and fluttered down beside the tower, 127 feet above the ground, the person would have to climb outside and pull it back.
"Once, a flag only lasted for one day," Lee said. She said the flags were constantly torn by raindrops.
Usually the $75 flags are taken to the University construction shop and the hens (Hammer) are taken to the meat shed.
As Lee and Schulenberg began folding the school flag, Lee spoke of the view from the terrace.

Reagan's AWACS victory to boost his clout, aides sav
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—President Reagan's victory in the AWACS battle will enhance his image overseas and give him a political boost in future campaigns. Congress, top White House aides said yesterday.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt also hailed the deal as a turning point toward peace.
But at the same time, Israel grimly warned yesterday that the sale of AWACS radars planes to Saudi Arabia posed a "new and serious danger" to its security.
THE SOVIETS disagreed. Yesterday, that country warned that the shipment of AWACS to Saudi Arabia would touch off a New Middle East arms race and it said the ships were part of an American plan to seize the region's oil fields in a crisis.
yesterday emerged from an emergency cabinet meeting in Jerusalem and said, Israel "will do all that we have to to overcome this new and serious danger" to its security.
While discussing Reagan's struggle to push the $8.5 billion arms sale through the Senate, James Baker, the chief of staff and Richard Allen, the deputy commissioner, said it would not diminish the American commitment to Israel.
Baker also argued that Wednesday's 52-48 roll call voter signals a prominent tone for the president in his third inauguration.
"The government of Israel expresses its regret at the decision of the American Senate to approve . . . the arms deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia, which is in a state of war with Israel, which rejects the camp David accords and finances terrorism in our region," Begin said.
"We would argue forcefully that he has been the most effective president since Lyndon Johnson with respect to his relationships with the White House, and we get legislation through the Conversa," he said.
REAGAN'S WIN left a new question in its place—whether the sale of radar planes and military equipment, in the largest arms package the U.S. has ever sold a foreign power, would encourage the Saudis to take a larger role in the Middle East peace process.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin
"We say frankly that we will not use the Saudi forces to launch any offensive unless we are the ones to win."
Meanwhite, Sultan Abdel Aziz, the Saudi defense minister, call the Senate vote a victory for his country's moderate policies, and said he would support WACS which would contribute to stability in the region.
Egypt said the sale aided Washington's effort to form a "strategic consensus" among allies in the Middle East to freeze out the Soviet Union—where Egypt later, draw Arabs and Israelis closer to peace.
"Egypt, which supported the sale from the very beginning, is happy with the decision," Mr. Khalil said.
