D.U.I. arrests up in Douglas County
Kansan staff writer
by Travis Butler
More drivers in Douglas County are being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to Kansas Department of Transportation figures.
An Aug. 9 report from the department said that D.U.I. arrests in Douglas County increased from 132 in the first half of 1988 to 206 arrests in the first half of 1989. Douglas County is one of 40 counties in Kansas that reported an increase in D.U.I. arrests.
KU police also reported an increase in D.U.I. arrests from 1987 to 1988, but figures for 1989 were not available. There were 33 D.U.I. arrests in 1987, compared to 59 D.U.I. arrests in 1988, said KU police Lt. Jeanne Longaker.
"It's probably related to better enforcement and possibly related to more drunken driving," said Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman.
The Lawrence Police Department has increased its efforts in two ways.
"Our D.U.I. arrests are made either through a driver's license check lane or if the officer has a suspicion that the driver of a car is driving under the influence," Mulvenon said. "This includes being under the influence of drugs as well as alcohol."
With a driver's license check lane, Lawrence police announce in advance that they will be running a
check lane in a certain area. Police then pull over all cars coming through that area and check for possession of a driver's license, proper registration, proof of insurance, equipment malfunctions and intoxication. Mulvenon said.
The Lawrence police do not, however, increase patrols to deal with students in bars, he said.
"We have a routine shift with a complement of 10 to 15 officers on a standard evening," Mulvenon said. "There is an overlap between the late-night shifts, with both shifts being on duty between midnight and 2 a.m. This is not an increase to deal with students; it's just a peak time when bars are closing.
"We do not increase officers for normal routine." he said.
KU police do not generally use a check jane, Longaker said.
"A D.U.I. arrest is generally trigged by information coming in about a vehicle driving erratically," she said. "It can come either from someone calling in a report or from an officer noticing this behavior."
Although Mulvenon cited more drunken driving as a possible cause for the increase in D.U.I. arrests, he said he could not speculate on what would cause an increase in drunken driving.
However, he did say that the increase of the drinking age to 21 might have something to do with it.
"The increasing drinking age has forced more students to private parties." Mulvenon said.
Voyager finds Neptune's rings
New photos sent back Tuesday also showed that the second and larger arc, which orbits 23,300 miles above Neptune's cloudtops, extends farther around Neptune than previously believed, suggesting that it also may be a complete ring, but with "regions of greater and lesser amounts of material in it," said research leader Bradford Smith.
The Associated Press
Scientists had said ring arcs could be the remnants of moons torn apart by gravitational forces or collisions. Smith said it isn't yet known if the ring material seen so far consists of boulder-, pebble- or dust-sized debris.
PASADENA, Calif. — The Voyager 2 spacecraft found at least one complete ring of debris orbiting Neptune, surprising scientists who discovered it while trying to relocate a partial ring dubbed the "lost arc," NASA said Tuesday.
Two partial rings — called ring arcs — appeared in pictures Voyager made Aug. 11 as it approached the solar system's fourth largest planet, but the arc that orbits 17,000 miles above Neptune's cloudtops couldn't be found in subsequent images, prompting researchers to dub it the lost arc or "ghost arc."
