Stull homicide activates special investigation
By Jim Petterson
Kansan staff writer
The Capitol Area Major Case Squad is a group of law enforcement officers that, before Sept. 2, had never been called to Douglass County.
On the request of Loren Anderson, Douglas County sheriff, the M-Squad was activated Sept. 2 to investigate the death of Nilsa Sansez, whose discovery in a steel culvert near St., nine miles west of Lawrence.
The M-Squad is composed of law enforcement officers from Douglas, Shawnee, Pottawatomie, Jackson, Jefferson, Oca and Wauaisee. They are called out to investigate the crimes in the seven-county region.
Anderson, who is also the vice
chairman of the M-Squad, said the M-Squad was an invaluable resource to an agency faced with the investigation of a major crime.
"The value to the originating agency is that the M-Squad can do in a week what that agency can do in six months. They can cover a lot of ground fast."
Don Dalquest, Douglas County undersherif, said the M-Squad was formed in 1969 and was patterned by a team of M-Squads based in the Kansas City area.
"The concept of the metro squad is based on a formation of all surrounding law enforcement agencies who monitor and report in an investigation." Dalouest said.
The M-Squad was first activated in the early 1970s to help solve a double homicide in Topeka. Before the
Sanchez case, the M-Squad was la activated in 1987 by Jefferson County.
Dalquest said the M-Squad was governed by three directors. Members are elected by active members of the M-Squad and an advisory board made up of sheriffs and police chiefs from 16 agencies that supply manpower to the M-Sound.
Bill Huffmier, M-Squad secretary treasurer and 19-year member of the Topeka police department, said the M-Squad investigated only serious crimes.
"The whole thing is that the crime must be one with the magnitude to present a community threat," he said.
Dalquest said, "The M-Squad has never acted on any other crime besides a homicide. It's usually a
harder homicide, one that when we get there, there' nothing to go on and needs a lot of follow-up work."
Huffmier said if an agency wanted the assistance of the M-Squad, it must submit a request for M-Squad activation within 24 hours of discovering a crime and have the request approved by at least two of the directors.
In return for the additional manpower, the requesting agency must provide the M-Squad with a place to work, telephones, one meal a day for each officer and gasoline.
Anderson said the M-squard was especially beneficial to smaller law enforcement agencies.
"Even when you've got 500 officers, it's still hard to spare 30 to 40 officers," Anderson said. "If we had to put that many officers on a case,
we wouldn't have any patrols left on the street."
Huffmier said officers wanting to be members of the M-Squad must submit applications and have them approved by their superior officers. Applications are then forwarded to M-Squad officials and a vote is taken to decide if an officer should be accepted.
Officers whose applications are approved by M-Squad members are required to undergo 20 hours of specialized training.
"The best investigators are then sent to the M-Squard school," Dalquest said. "They are shown how the students can use technology and teach expert skills. They are taught about everything that would happen in an investigation."
Anderson said that he was unsure
how many cases the M-Squad had investigated, but that 88 percent of the cases investigated by M-Squad officers were solved.
Many of the remaining 12 percent of the cases were solved after the M-Squad turned an investigation back over to a home agency, Anderson said.
The M-Squad is based in Topeka and meets once a month. Officers working for the M-Squad are paid by their home agency and membership is strictly voluntary.
Anderson said that the M-Squad generally was activated for a period of five days. After the first five days, a decision on whether to continue an investigation is done on a day-to-day basis.
KU professor in the running Florida Atlantic University picks five finalists for presidency
By Lara Weber
Kansas staff writer
A KU professor was selected as one of five finalists for the presidency of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. A FAU official confirmed yesterday.
George H. Frederickson, distinguished professor of public administration for the past two years, was dismissed Monday of the decision, he said.
The five finalists were selected from a group of 12 semi-finalists, which also included Robert Lineberry, former dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas.
The other four finalists are Anthony James Catanese, dean of the College of Architecture at the University of Florida; James B. Appleberry, president of Northern Michigan University; Glenn A. Goerke, president of the University of Houston-Clear Lake; and Charles F. Bonser, director of Indiana University's Regional Economic Development Institute.
FAU officials said the Presidential Search Advisory Committee expected to announce a new president Oct. 11.
The five finalists will return to the FAU campus for two-day interviews the deans and school administrators scheduled for interviews Sept. 21, 22 and
Frederickson, who previously served as president of Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Wash., for 10 $ \frac{1}{2} $ years, said that he was happy in Lawrence, but that his
accepting the FAU nomination was an indication that he was taking the possibility of a move seriously.
"My interest is somewhat greater now," he said. "Two weeks ago, I had an 8 percent probability of getting the position. Now it's a 20 percent probability."
FAU "is a very interesting place because of its two-campus operation." Frederickson said.
FAU has campuses in Fort Lauderdale, as well as in Boca Raton. Similarly, KU has campuses in Kansas City and Wichita. About 11,000 students attend FAU.
"I love administration work." Frederickson said, stressing that he was interested in some involvement in administration, "but certainly not necessarily a presidency."
Hayden said he would like to see an increased effort in educating people about the environment. In addition, he encouraged greater inter-departmental government cooperation in confronting environmental problems.
Hayden calls for more environmental education
BALDWIN CITY — Gov. Mike Hayden expressed personal environmental concerns yesterday at Baker University's convolution.
philosophy concerning the state's environmental situation, said Frank Ybarra, Hayden's deputy press secretary.
"We all suffer from tunnel vision," Hayden said. "Education and training for the future must change. We must have people educated in a general sense to see the big picture."
Hayden told gathered members of the student body that, as students, they must develop a foundation of facts concerning the environment.

He said that people in Kansas needed to find effective methods of recycling and waste disposal.
"We lack an effective and integrated waste strategy," Hayden said. "Toxic and hazardous materials have been and are finding their way into our environment." He said that the team in Kyiv noted to affect
A scavenger hunt will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. today. The Salvation Army has agreed to stay open so that everything collected during the scavenger hunt can be taken to them.
In addition, Hayden expressed concern for the draining of the state's wetlands and for the nation's growing pollution problems.

Other activities include Greek Olympics, an All Greek Picnic, and a Greek Sing.

She said the point of "Greek Week" was to have a good time, to break down barriers that may exist between chapters and for members to get to know each other.
5 sororities apply for colonization
By a Kansan reporter
The chapters that will be considered are Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta, Kappa Delta, and Teta Zau. she said.
Five soriority chapters will give presentations to Panhellenic Oct. 21 and 22 to be considered for colonization at the University of Kansas, said Gina Bleile, Panhellenic adviser.
Bleile said that one of the chapters would be selected and that she hoped the chapter would colonize in January.
Margaret Miller, coordinator for Greek programs, said the number of women who went through rush but did not pledge a sorority could be an indication that there was a demand for another sorority at the University.
She said that 73 percent of women who went through fall rush joined a chapter.
Alpha Phi's KU chapter was suspended in January. The initiated members received alumni status at the end of the spring semester. The pledges chose either to be initiated or to be released from their plaquehip.
The Alpha Phi alumni are holding a meeting Sunday to discuss the matter of recolonization, said Dawn Tabinsky, former vice president.
