'Sherman'
Armadillo found in trash
Although an armadillo is usually described as living in warm climates, two KU students captured one in Lawrence Tuesday.
Don Hineman, Dighton senior, and Dave Weber, Overland Park senior, said they saw the animal as they were driving along 9th Street near University Terrace apartments.
The two caught "Sherman" in a box obtained from a near-by trash pile, which had apparently been the armadillo's home.
Weber said he thought it was an opossom, while Hineman argued it was a motorcycle helmet.
Weber said they contacted a Lawrence veterinarian and the Dyche Museum of Natural History to determine that Sherman would eat lettuce, insects and earthworms. They were told armadillos seldom carry rabies.
The museum informed them that one variety of armadillo is infrequently found as far north as Kansas, Hineman said.
Weber and Hineman plan to give the animal to Stan Roth, a

EXHAUSTED?

Medieval cycles opened yesterday
Written sometime between 1350 and 1450, the plays originated with verses from the Bible. They grew from a church practice of instructing congregations through drama. The plays became popular and in time, performances were moved outside the church.
Three plays from the medieval mystery cycles are playing tonight through Saturday at the University Experimental Theatre. Curtain time is 8:20 p.m.
Two of the plays are "The Annunciation" and "The Offering of the Magi." A third, "The Second Shepherd's Play," is considered the most outstanding of all the medieval cycle plays, said Virginia Hirsch, Milwaukee graduate student and director of the cycles.
The plays are called cycles because they were performed in a series beginning with the Creation and ending with the Last Judgment.

The charge was filed in Lawrence municipal court and heard by Judge Jack Maxwell. Judge Maxwell, in a written opinion, ruled that the evidence failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that Woodard was refused the apartment because of his race.
The building should be completed within six weeks, Lawton said, but installing equipment should take until late summer.

The eight-story structure will be the home of the departments of microbiology, family life and human development and comparative anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.
Police chief wants guns for KU police
The All-Student Senate will soon vote on a proposal to ban firearms from the campus police force.
"We're police officers and we wear guns like any other policemen," said Moomau.
Campus police chief E. P. Moomau strongly disagreed with the proposal.
The police chief admitted some policemen at other universities are unarmed. Based on information gathered at a recent National Conference of Traffic and Security Directors, however, he said the majority of university policemen are armed.
One of the most important reasons police carry firearms is to protect the daily money shipments entering and leaving the university, Moomau said.
The police chief said he had no knowledge of a firearm ever being used against a KU student. He did cite one instance when pistol-armed police were called because a group of non-students attempted to remove equipment from a construction site.
