KU students meet Miami police dogs
By STEVE HAYNES Kansan Staff Writer
Penn State may have won the Orange Bowl, but it wasn't because of a lack of KU enthusiasm.
Jayhawk fans threatened to change the entire face of downtown Miami after the game, and had KU won, they probably would have. They made a good start New Year's Eve.
It took ten Miami police officers and three hungry-looking German shepherds to disperse the more than 300 KU students who had blocked traffic on Biscayne Boulevard, Miami's main street, for half an hour.
A KU victory would, no doubt, have brought the students, and the police, back in force.
The trouble started New Year's Eve when KU students—including most of those from the SUA flights staying at the Biscayne Terrace hotel, plus a few who were there just to drink—gathered in the
Property stolen from fraternity
Delta Upson fraternity house was broken into and more than $2,000 worth of property was taken during Christmas break.
The burglar apparently broke the basement window in the house and took the DU's color television valued at nearly $600. Other property belonging to house members was taken, including a stereo record player, tape recorder, two cameras and some clothing.
A DU spokesman said, "People were here off and on during the break, and some people here in town checked periodically on the house so the burglary occurred sometime between checks."
Lawrence police are investigating the theft.
lobby of the hotel and performed the Rock Chalk chant at midnight.
It was a short step from the lobby to the sidewalk to the street. The group refused to allow traffic, other than Jayhawk fans and Greyhound buses, to move on the southbound lane of the street. Anyone who claimed to be a "Hawker" was allowed through. The buses simply refused to stop. No one stood in their way for long.
Less daring motorists were not so fortunate. One car bearing Pennsylvania license plates was bounced on its springs for a few minutes. Others just had to wait as the cheering, chanting, bottle-waving crowd told the world about the 'Hawks!
Despite its drunken and boisterous nature, the crowd remained non-violent. Four or five Penn State students wandered around the edges of the group.
No one was bothered other than the hapless motorists and
the enthusiastic crowd, which got wet. Other KU fans, it seems, were dropping pitchers of water on the street from their rooms.
The first police car arrived about 12:05, red light flashing, and the students ceased shouting "We're number one" and returned to the sidewalk. As soon as the police car was out of sight, the crowd returned to the streets.
Police came in force at 12:25 a.m. When the crowd saw the unsheathed nightsticks, and the police dogs, which acted as though they had not had a square meal since the last Orange Bowl, it broke up. Fast.
The officers pursued into the hotel with the dogs. About 20 students crowded into the stairwell in the lobby, hoping to escape possible arrest. Four officers, one with the dog, opened the door and told them to come out. Since the dog was at the door, straining its leash no one would come out. It was a stand-off, though, since the

The police, giving up, locked the dog back in its cage, and cleared the lobby at the request of the manager, who said, "They are tearing my place apart."

Reservations Suggested
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 20 years.
The Castle Tea Room
If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!
