Creamer protests drug stamp
By Rich Cornell Kansan staff writer
Mark Creamer continued his war on President Bush's war on drugs this week.
Creamer said he bought $100 worth of marijuana stamps from the state Department of Revenue on Tuesday.
Kansas law states that a $100 marijuana stamp must be placed on each ounce of marijuana. Creamer said. The state has successfully prosecuted people for failing to have a stamp for their marijuana.
"It's a double-whammy. It's easier to prosecute for the stamp than for possession." he said.
If caught with marijuana without a stamp, a person can be prosecuted both for possession of an illegal substance and for failing to have a stamp, Creamer said. In addition, the person may have to buy a stamp and pay an equal amount of money for a fine, he said.
The stamps do not make possession of marihuana legal.
If someone is caught with marijuana with a stamp, he or she still
faces a charge of possession of an illiteral substance, Creamer said.
"If it's illegal to possess it, how can they have a legal stamp for it?" he asked.
Yesterday, Jean Shepherd, Douglas County District Court judge, changed the conditions of Creamer's bond. Previous bond conditions had required him to submit to urinalyses to prove he was not using recreational drugs.
Because the tests detect drug use 30 days from the time of use, Shepherd said, Creamer would not have
to give samples until two months after he was charged with possession of an illegal substance. She said that Creamer also was forbidden to use recreational drugs, not including alcohol.
Creamer still must go to the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism treatment center.
He said he still planned to plead not guilty at a preliminary hearing Oct. 30.
Creamer said he did not think using the courts to prove his point was wrong.

Congress may not drain area lakes' money
By Derek Schmidt Kansan staff writer
Area lakes will receive more financing than President Bush requested if a U.S. House-approved bill passes the Senate.
Bush, in an effort to cut federal spending, proposed that recreation
areas at many Corps of Engineers lakes be closed or partially closed, said Wayne Cook, chief of the Corps Kansas City district management office.
He said that after Corps officials testified to Congress about the impact of closing the recreation areas, members of the House of
representatives decided to restore the funding.
"The Congressmen were pretty upset," Cook said.
An $18 billion appropriations bill for energy and water projects passed the House on Tuesday and now goes to the Senate for consideration. Paul
Jacobsen, deputy press secretary for Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., said the Senate would consider the bill soon. The president had proposed closing the Woodridge recreational area at Clinton Lake, southwest of Lawrence, and partially closing the Outlet and Bloomington areas, Cook said.
Local group invites Soviets to Lawrence
By Dave Wakefield Kansan staff writer
A local organization is planning to bring 1,000 Soviet citizens to Lawrence next year in a symbolic gesture emphasizing 200 years of cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union.
One thousand U.S. citizens from all 50 states will meet Soviets from all 15 Soviet states for a week of activities promoting peace between the United States and the Soviet Union, said Bob Executive director of The Elbe Alliance.
The Elbe Alliance, formed in 1982, is an organization of veterans and friends committed to keeping alive the spirit of the meeting of the U.S. and Soviet armies toward the end of World War II.
Under an agreement made by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, the armies halted their advances on April 25, 1945, at the Elbe River, located in what is now known as West Germany.
Swan said The Meeting for Peace, as the week of events would be called, was first proposed by David Cormack, a University mayor, at the 1983 Kansas Relays.
That year, a visiting Soviet team participated in the relays and made headlines across the United States, Swan said.
In 1985, the Journey for Peace brought 300 U.S. and Soviet veterans together at the Elbe River on the 40th
Anniversary of the original meeting.
Anniversary of the original meeting.
The 1900 Meeting for Peace will be held on the 100th anniversary of Eisenhower's birthday.
"His popularity is still strong today because the Soviet people see that he
Robert Ivanov, professor of history at the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, Soviet Union, said Eisenhower was a popular man in the Soviet Union.
"Many scholars in Russia today see that it is necessary to rewrite history," Ivanov said. "There have many falsifications on both sides."
Ivanov said his main goal while in Lawrence would be promoting the Meeting for Peace. He also said he would research a paper he wanted to call, "Two Centuries of Cooperation, a History of U.S.-Soviet Relations."
Ivanov, who will be in Lawrence until January, will be an adjunct professor in the department of history, said Daniel Bays, associate chairman of the department.
An adjunct professor receives no salary from the University.
Although still in the planning stages, the week will include seminars and discussions. Swan said.
Both Soviet and U.S. visitors will stay in area homes, but U.S. visitors will be asked to pay a registration fee as well as their own transportation, be said.

answers."
"Rather than have one person concentrated with all the information, I felt it was better to share it," he said. "To me, (the search) is a team concept, which means not relying on the chairman for all the
Gaunmitz said the meetings would continue into next week.
A search for a new dean of business will begin Friday with meetings between search committee members and faculty members of the School of Business.
Jack Gaumitz and John Gergacz, professors of business, were chosen chairman and vice chairman of the committee. Gaumitz requested a vice chairman position because of the size of the 14-member committee.
"We need to find out from the faculty what they want, what they are looking for and need," he said. "Then we will be able to put together a job description."
Gergacz said the committee had not determined how the search would be conducted.
"We're just in the planning stages now," he said. "Vice chancellor (Del) Brinkman indicated it was going to be a national search, but we don't know yet exactly how we're going to go about it."
Gaumnitz said no schedule had been determined, but the goal was to have the position filled by April.
