Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwain, Lawrence fire chief, said in a video-taped press conference on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987, fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire broke out at the Triangle house on May 2, he found none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution," Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast he said and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office. Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable," Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988," Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley

For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But another incident also exists, a University statement released Saturday said
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and
Equipment, found, high, levels of 1.8 dichloroethane.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoe is safe and can be used by the University.

He said not having a sprinkler system above the stage would not make it necessary to close Hoch.
"The sprinklers are there to protect the buildings," he said. "We care about the buildings, but our main concern is getting the people out."
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years," he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and team spirit. The University's decision to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection.

As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukalis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment found high levels of 1,2-dichloroethane
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
“Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run,” he said. “However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the buildings are of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings.”

He said not having a sprinkler system above the roof would not increase damage to clogs.
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years," he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and academic achievement at University's decision to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
"The sprinklers are there to protect the buildings," he said. "We care about the buildings, but our main concern is getting the people out."
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republican have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondeale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1894, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," be said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief, said in a videotaped press conference on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987, fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire broke at the house on May 2, he found that one of the changes had been made.

He said not having a sprinkler system above the stage would not make it necessary to close Hoch.

TOP OF THE WEEK
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and success in problems, which led to the university's building within a new performing arts center within the next few years.
Cover Illustration by Talking Heads
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
The illustration on our cover is unique. It was created for us by the subjects of our cover story, the Talking Heads.
The process began when Art Director Robert J. George, Photo Editor Nia Krikellas Button and the Talking Heads could not agree on the perfect cover image. Perhaps they would like to do their own, George and Button suggested, and the Talking Heads—three of whom had studied at the Rhode Island School of Design—thought that a fine idea. Button chose individual pictures, and Americo J.
Calib of NEWSWEEK's photo lab printed them specially on the kind of paper that photographic hand colorists use. George then prepared art kits—paints, brushes, markers, paper, matte knives, a preliminary cover sketch and guidelines, including "Have Fun."
The Talking Heads obviously did. With the pieces of art that Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz and David Byrne sent us, George executed the complete illustration. It makes a fitting companion to Ron Givens's cover story.

Engineers Vs. Humanists?
Congratulations to Mark W. Keller on both his choice of degrees and his choice of words in "Can Engineers Be Humanists?" (MY TURN). As an English and communications major who is constantly under attack from more "practically majored" friends asking what kind of job I think I'll get, it's wonderful to see a "practical" student turn his back on the majority's choice of money and opt for the minority's choice of the mind. It will be interesting to see where Keller is in relation to his engineering colleagues 20 years from now.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.

As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
Keller has answered his own question; yes, of course, engineers can be humanists, as is quite evident by his "leap" to pursue an education inclusive of both humanities and engineering. Furthermore, I'm inclined to believe that his verbal process and ability to make a thoughtful and critical decision answer a more important question; was it worth it?

Keller's perception of engineering is at fault. The act of opening one's mind to "allow associations of new and old knowledge" which Keller finds so readily in his literature classes is precisely what is necessary to solve more advanced and intricate engineering problems. A German-literature major must first master the language before exploring the works of Goethe and Hesse. An engineer must speak the language of mathematics and physics in order to digest the wealth of knowledge
When industry recruits an engineer, it isn't looking for someone to design the ideal transformer but for someone who knows how to find logical solutions to technical problems. Similarly, when an English or psychology major is recruited, the employer doesn't want someone to analyze Chaucer or lecture on personality disorders; he wants someone to find logical solutions to communications, business or organizational problems. The common denominator here is that the college graduate has learned to think.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-10 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dakuski seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.

house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU grease houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire brigade arrived at the house on May 2, he found that one of the changes had been made.
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems in meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecution.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately compiles with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Kansan staff writer
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, found high levels of 1,2-dichloroethane.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the tests have not been run of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Official reverses Hoch ruling
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University.

main concerns when inspecting a building; fire alarms, clear exits and emergency lighting that comes on during the day. Hoch has all three. Markley said.
He said not having a sprinkler system above the stage would not make it necessary to close Hoch.
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years," he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and academic works, when it moved to the University's descent to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.

tent in any engineering solution to a problem, the thinking typified by "We can't have any pollution" will eventually lead to the downfall of our civilization.
It's wonderful to know that I'm not alone! I spent three years in the chemical-engineering program taking humanities classes on the side. I left engineering last year to pursue a dual degree in chemistry and English. The synthesis of these diametrically opposed ways of thinking is important and people who can do that will, I'm sure, be indispensable in uniting the factions of our society.

You state, "Despite Allan Bloom's fondest wish, we cannot stop time or freeze knowledge." I'm sure that Professor Bloom wishes to do neither. Rather, he wishes to see our finest thinkers (college graduates) exposed to the great thinkers ("Plato. Shakespeare. Rousseau. Etc.)." How can we hope for any but technological progress if our colleges produce graduates who are fundamentally ignorant of the past?" The surest way to "freeze knowledge" is to throw out what has already been learned in the cold.
CLAY BRIDGES University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Your charge that Bloom's is a "Euroentric, male-centered, antidemocratic perspective" is itself the product of a shallow perspective, ignorant of the Western intellectual heritage and wedded to superficially examined dogmas. To brush off history's most profound thinkers as "Etc." and the truths they discovered as "reactionary"—that, not Bloom's, is the "constricted viewpoint."
MARK PUNDURS
Illinois Institute of Technology
Chicago, Ill.
Judging from what we have seen as students and teachers at a large public university, Professor Bloom is all too correct in believing that modern students do not care about a liberal education. We simply cannot imagine hearing any of our undergraduates using the words "passion" and "education" in the same sentence, let alone voluntarily meeting to discuss an intellectual juggernaut such as Professor Bloom's book. As for the "chronological snobbery" of your conclusion that although the past can speak to us, "we must consider the present and the future," we'd like to ask why permanence should carry with it a connotation of stagnation in the modern mind? Is the new automatically superior to the old?

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South where five Republican have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukalis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987
fire at the sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire broke at the house, the Triangle house on May 2, he found none of the changes had been made.
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by Sentenment."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosec- tors.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa
tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects Greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988," Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.

Official reverses Hoch ruling
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is

main concerns when inspecting a building; fire alarms, clear exits and emergency lighting that comes on because of a fire. Hoch has all three. Markley said.
He said not having a sprinkler system above the stage would not make it necessary to close Hoch.
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years," he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and coaching. He also opened University's decision to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
"The sprinklers are there to protect the buildings," he said. "We care about the buildings, but our main concern is getting the people out."
The Difference Between an Ordinary Summer Job and " The Vector Opportunity "
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.

Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondeale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.

bums have sold very well, and maintained their appeal as time went on, but "Naked" promises to make the band huge.
Whether or not they care about their bigness, they don't have time to enjoy it. For the past year, in addition to producing "Naked," the separate Heads have worked on an amazing number of creative endeavors outside the framework of the band. Harrison has produced the second BoDeans album, coproduced the debut album by Milwaukee rockers Semi-Tiwang, finished recording his second solo album, "Casual Gods," figured out a concept for its cover and directed a video for its first single, "Rev It Up." Frantz and Weymouth have recorded, on and off, for their third solo album, written two songs for the movie "Sierra" and produced the music for "Come Party." Byrne has composed five pieces of music for the film, "The Last Emperor"; directed some interconnecting footage for a new home-video compilation of Talking Heads videos, "Storytelling Giant," and traveled to Europe while writing and seeking funding for a feature-length movie he wants to direct called "The Forest."

They've been so busy, in fact, that they didn't have time to produce a video for "Nothing But Flowers" until well after the song came out. In late February they got together briefly to do some publicity for "Naked," but their attention was clearly on outside projects as well. Frantz and Weymouth were just about to enter the studio for two weeks of intensive recording for their own group, Tom Tom Club. Harrison was in rehearsal for a four-month tour of the Northeast with his own band, Casual Gods. Byron was on the verge of flying to Los Angeles to write and to pursue money for his movie.

So, it allowed people like Michael Jackson to be more ubiquitous and more enormous, but it tires you out and degrades the whole medium.

Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and structural problems, which led to the construction to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.

Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-1 or more.
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis finishes with nomination
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dakuski seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
Bush. posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)." he said.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1894, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

The department inspected the 37 active grey houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.

"The democratic Circus" takes a nasty swipe at the American electoral process, calling it a 'bigot imitation of life,' and describing political advertising as "Stealing all our dreams" Dreams for sale / They sell 'em back to you."
Most of the material, however, is open-ended. Some of the details in "Mommy Daddy You and I" seem to be drawn from Byrne's past, but the action of the story is unclear. "Blind" and "Ruby Dear" combine images of decay with the shards of clichés that Byrne seems to collect, twist and recycle. What do they mean? Whatever the listener decides. "I like it when it surprises me," says Byrne. "When it sounds fresh and surprising and I can't quite pin it down and say quite what it is and where it came from.

This record packs sounds and instruments together into the kind of density heard on "Remain in Light" (1980) and "Speaking in Tongues" (1983). Sixteen people play on "Mr. Jones" and "12 on Big Daddy." The tweest on an individual track is six—"The Democratic Circus" and "Cool Water."
The Denon Club. But this album goes far beyond the funkatized music heard on "Remain" and "Speaking." "Naked" was recorded in Paris, using an international cast of guest musicians, including keyboardist Wally Badaroua (from Benin, guitarist Yves N'Dlocjck from Cameroon, percussionist Abduw M'Boup from Senegal and guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) from England. In addition to simply wanting to hang out in Paris, the band wanted to tap into the city's cosmopolitan music scene. "There was a real cultural exchange," says Weymouth. "We went over there and played their styles and they played our styles. And between the two we created a cultural hybrid that crosses cultural boundaries."
Sometimes the juxtapositions are breathtaking. U.S. meets Africa on "Totally Nude," when the country-western swooping of American Eric Weisberg's pedal-stel guitar intertwines with the joyful chattering of N'Djock's electric guitar. African and Latin percussion flavor the entire album, and "Mr. Jones" uses a sulsa-based horn arrangement. Yet the album definitely sounds like Talking Heads. Unlike Paul Simon's "Graceland," which immersed the singer in the musical context of foreign musicians, "Naked" immerses foreign musicians in the musical context of Talking Heads.

next six weeks developed in a similar way. While in Paris, Byrne would sit down with a tape recorder and improve vocally along with a fairly finished instrument track. What came out of his mouth were something between gibberish and real language. "Sometimes words come out, but usually it sounds almost like words," says Byrne. "For me, they could stay that way. The emotion and feeling are all there. It's just putting those darned words in there." Byrne began to develop the damsms first in Paris and then later in London and New York. "I listen to the music we've done and think of the various subjects I've been thinking about or concerned about and see if any of them fit with the mood of the music. In some cases I would write words to the music without an attempt to get any meaning out of them. Then I would look at them, and keep the two things that had a meaning for me and throw out the rest of them. I go through that process about three times."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and athleticism, and University's decision to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.

spend a lot of time creating the way we’re going to work. Thinking about that first. We know that the way we choose to record an album has a great effect on how it turns out in the end." The quartet started with 10 days of jamming in New York last May. Says Frantz: "We started with a figure, like a beat or a bass part or something, and then people would add to it, and then we would turn on this little cassette player, and then play it until it fell apart, and then stop the cassette recorder. And then repeat the process again. Then we’d listen to all those things and choose the most promising bits." These edited jams were the basis for nearly everything that was recorded for the next six weeks in Paris.

dered through most of the tunky "Rev It Up," and now they don't know how to end it. After jamming in place for about a minute, the players stop abruptly and compare notes. "Let's do it again," says Harrison. "I would like to know how to get out of there." The guitarist, Alex Weir, scat-sings a suggestion. The band tries again, and toward the end, Harrison abruptly switches from synthesizer to guitar for a fiery solo to conclude the song. Only the band doesn't know he's finished until he announces, "That's the end." Four days from now, Cosal Gods starts its tour.
Ten days after the lunch, David Byrne sits by himself in a room in Los Angeles. On the wall next to him are 60 index cards, arranged into eight columns. Videotapes, books, scripts and records take up the shelves in the room. At the desk, he writes out scenes for "The Forest," a movie that will transplant the Epic of Gilgamus from prehistoric Mesopotamia to 19th-century Germany. (The movie "True Stories" was the first feature-length film he directed.) The same story will be told on the stage by avant-garde theater director Robert Wilson. Byrne has been writing out ideas longand for the past few days. Now he gets up and rearranges the cards on the wall.
Two weeks after the lunch, Tina Weymouth and Chris Fristz watch an electric violinist, Heidi Berg, in the control room of a Manhattan recording studio. She's attempting a solo for bridge No. 6 of a Tom Tom Club song called "Little Eva." After she plays along with the intense, broad-recorded track (drums, bass, keyboardes and guitar). Weymouth and Fristz decide that her dancing riffs don't fit the tune. The violinist thinks it want more Indianish music; "because we going to be feared," says Weymouth, "I think it would be nice if we did it spruce." It's the end of their studio time, so a two-track cassette of the song is made to be listened to overnight. They arrange for the violinist to return the next morning at the beginning of recording, 11 a.m.
As furiously creative people, the Heads have naturally looked beyond the group for artistic satisfaction. Says Byrne: "The group doesn't take my

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom," that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwan, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumi that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosec-
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecution.
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection...
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by Semester."
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternites also have been submitted for investigation.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Official reverses Hoch ruling
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A state fire auditor who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.

Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.

"It allows you to explore avenues that are easily explored as a solo artist or a producer rather than to try and fit Talking Heads into a genre that is perhaps not appropriate," says Harrison. And it pays dividends for the band itself: "I think it encourages us and expands us," says Weymouth, "and it enables us to be more open in the framework of Talking Heads."

The name of this band could have been The Vogue Dots
Tina Weymouth remembers these potential names for the band: The Tunnel Tubes, Subway of Love, Muscle of Love, The Vogue Dots. There were many others. They couldn't perform until they came up with a name. Talking Heads was the only finalist. A friend of Byrne, Frantz and Weymouth told them about the term, jargon for television newscasts that show the heads of anchormen rather than action footage. They liked the connotation of the term. "Talking Heads meant a lot of content but not much visuals," she says.
"I never thought Talking Heads would be as successful as it has been," says Harrison. "I thought we were too strange. But the audience surprised us." In fact, sales of the band's albums were steady, but not explosive, until "Speaking in Tongues" pushed them to the platinum level—sales of 1 million units—with the single "Burning Down the House." Then came the concert film, "Stop Making Sense" (1984), which was a major art-house success, and the platinum soundtrack, which packaged many of the band's most popular songs. While "Little Creatures" (1985) continued their platinum streak, "True Stories" (1986) has yet to break the mark milion. But it quickly went gold—sales of 500,000 units—as have "More Songs About Buildings and Food" (1984). "Fear of

Music (1979) and "Remain in Light." Only 77% and "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads" (1982) aren't gold. "Naked," however, should boost all the past albums considerably.
Frantz and Weymouth first moved to New York in the fall of 1974, about six months after Byrne had done so. The three—who met while students at the Rhode Island School of Design—lived together in a loft on the Lower East Side about two blocks from C.B.G.B. (page 15), where they would first play as Talking Heads some eight months later and where the new-wave movement in rock was born. "We were living in a loft with a bathroom in the hall." Frantz remembers. "No hot water. No shower. Friends would invite us over for dinner and we'd take towers along and ask, 'Is it OK if we take a shower?''" Today, Frantz and Weymouth live in Westport, Conn., with their two daughters, Robin, five, and Egan, 18 months. Byrne owns a loft in Manhattan. So does Harrison, who also has inherited his parents' house in Shorewood, Wis., a northern suburb of Milwaukee.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratie primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)." he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.

Department developed a program to

The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire department arrived at the triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems in meeting the December deadline.
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office, Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Kansan staff writer
Official reverses Hoch ruling
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other carous buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindsey Hall is of acceptable quality, so the buildings are doing a acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

TW: Well, of course, because it's all theory, like whether we are going to tour or not. It's all theory. It all is theory.
Cappuccinos: Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, David Byrne.
double espresso: Chris Frantz. No dessert
Touring, or rather, the lack of it, seems to be the only source of tension within the band at the moment. Friction over the increased media attention that it's usually given to Byrne seems to have been taken care of. It's been four years since Talking Heads last performed live, and everyone would like to goofer the band, but they can find the time. "Can't be in two places at the same time." says Byrne. Maybe later in the summer, after Harrison's solo tour is over and the Tom Tom Club album is finished, but Byrne's movie work might be in the way, and there's a chance that Tom Tom Club might tour. Still, this logjam of activity should not be interpreted as a sign that the group is pulling apart into separate orbits. "Talking Heads is clearly everybody's main loyalty," says Frantz. "It's Talking Heads that enables us to do outside things."
**TW:** This is kind of mushy. I'm married to Chris, so we're obviously friends. But Jerry and David—the they're still my best friends. They know where I'm coming from and they understand me. And I understand them, in a way that other people just don't. I'm lucky to have some wonderful friends, but I really haven't made any better friends since them. I imagine that's why we held together for so long. Because we have a lot of interesting, stimulating relationships with other people. (Sigh.) It's very sentimental. But I love David and Jerry and Chris. And I love what they do. I till love it after all this time. I guess we'll still love each other when we are 90. Even if we don't agree all the time, because we're like our chefs now in one kitchen. But there's still that love and respect that brought us together in the first place. It's very mushy. You better change the subject.
JH: There's also an ease to it. You can play with really, really great players. But there's something hard to define about what it's like to play with someone you've played with for years. You have these shared assumptions. I mean, the idea that we wrote the basis for this whole album in 10 days. I've spent a lot of 10 days with other musicians and you have heard music for this whole album. And a lot of that has to do with not having to learn how to work together. You just kind of start.
CF: Part of what keeps us together after all this time is the friendship thing. That we get back together. It's the one thing that we all have in common these days. Fortunately, we're all good friends, and it confirms it when we get together. We still manage to come up with, to my way of thinking, really good stuff.

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley

Official reverses Hoch ruling
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is
The image shows a crowded scene of people dancing or playing together in a dark venue. Most individuals are wearing casual clothing, and their hands are raised in the air as they move. The crowd appears energetic and engaged with each other, suggesting an event like a concert, dance party, or festival.

Hard corps: A club where all kinds of rock get equal respect—and amplification
it sounds like a thermonuclear train wreck. It looks, as near as you can tell in the dim light, like a riot. Onstage, a hardcore group named Murphy's Law is surging through an awesome series of power chords, when its lead singer dashes across the small stage and does a half gainer off the edge while singing at the top of his strong lungs. He's in no danger, however, because the crowd—a mix of skinheads, longhairs and everything in between—is packed so tightly he cannot land on the floor. The three very large bounceers on the apron of the stage pull the singer back while simultaneously fending off the half-nude bodies that seem to be swimming toward the band as the slam-dancing audience passes them aloft. This is the regular Sunday hardcore matinee at C.C.B.G.B., what Rick the doorman describes as "totally, seriously mental."

Of course, it was the explosion of the New York City musical scene known as new wave that put C.B.G.B into the history books. Starting in 1974, and lasting through the end of the decade, the club became the center of the rock revolution as several local bands got national record contracts and became famous.

The initials stand for Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gourmandizers.) All kinds of rock get performed, from speed metal to power pop to art-rock, and the only restriction is that bands play original material. The open-ended musical nature of the club reflects the approach of its owner, manager and booker, Hilly Kristal, 56. "I don't make things happen," he says. "I struggle to let them happen."
Television, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Blondie and others came out of C.B.G.B. Chris Frantz of Talking Heads remember it as a special time "t grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., during junior high and high school. I would read about all this stuff that was happening in England and in Liverpool at the Cavern Club, and then we moved to New York and C.C.G.B.'s

Tattered remains of ancient handbills dot the walls, and near the ceiling on stage left, someone has spray-painted "Giant Metal INSECTS." Maximum seating is 35, and the stage can hold only four energetic musicians comfortably. But the sound system produces extremely clean music, even at seismic levels, and musicians love to play there. "It's the most music-oriented place in the city," says Binky Philips, who's performed there with a variety of hands over the past 10 years, and who recorded a live EP there last year. On a recent Thursday night, Philips' trilogy thranced through a dynamic set of pure power pop to an audience of about 60. Among the crowd were Takakyu Chuma and Akitsugu Mori, two law students from Japan College in town on a three-week American visit. Asked what the thought of the place, the two replied, "Good livehouse." And indeed it is.

As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwan, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epstein fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire alarm came on, the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.

A local merchant sold organizers lumber for half price, so the entire project cost only $500. Although there was no prearranged work schedule, the castle was completed by the end of the second day.

A "chain message" multiplied until some students were hearing the same words six times a day for weeks.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly, Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Official reverses Hoch ruling
Kansan staff writer
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of nitrogen dihydroxide use in the water.

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the Univer-

sponsibility for the party. For large parties, three undercover students and two uninformed campus-police officers file reports on whether food and non-alcoholic beverages are provided. ID's are checked and drunk students are ejected, among other things. Fines, paid to the university's general fund, can be $200 or more. More than 10 parties have reportedly been monitored, but so far no charges have been levied. Cases are to be tried by residential colleges or proctors.
Monitors are selected by the masters of their colleges and student presidents, who say there has been no problem recruiting. Anonymity is meant to allow the students to file reports without peer pressure, according to the administration. But the secret also says that they don't know who their accusers are "Under the guise of anonymity, the monitors will have the power to abuse their positions," says freshman Emily Asher. "This has the power to turn from a witch hunt for deviant college organizations to a witch hunt for student monitors."

Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board, Gast he said and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."

Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with 'oday's' fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But a firefighters team also exists, a University statement released Saturday said.

Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University.

As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondeale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."

He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

In recent years, the transfer rate of Associate of Arts degree students to four-year schools, however, has hovered around 20 percent. And now some educators worry that instead of providing a doorway to the baccalaureate, community colleges have become a dead end. To guard against this, two-year schools must maintain their educational purposes, according to a commission headed by Ernest Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which has been studying college dropouts for the past 18 months. Among these recommendations, the report, due in late April, will ask that all community colleges require every associate-degree student to complete a core general-education curriculum.
After several years of decline, enrollment in college colleges nationwide rose 3 percent last year to more than 5 million, a record high. But as state legislatures continue to trim funding, doubts grow about whether two-year public colleges can continue to do it; all provide academic courses for students interested in transferring as well as vocational training for those who want to prepare for jobs. Critics charge that community colleges are leasing too heavily on partnerships with government and industry, which helps them attract students but may force them to expend too much effort promoting the economic growth of their regions. As a result, community colleges are struggling to redefine their role as places of higher education.
Two-year institutions are a 20th-century phenomenon, having begun as private, junior colleges. Today only 162 junior colleges still exist, while 1,062 community colleges saturate almost every state. Community colleges have succeeded spectacularly in extending post-secondary study to some minorities and older students who might other-credit for their studies. A percent of all blocks and Asians in higher education are in a community college; for Hispanics and Native Americans, the percentage is 54.

Students in manufacturing-related fields learn in a 'factory of the future': Welding with a robot
Partly to convince taxpayers that they should support more funding for community colleges, the Spokane system maintains a strong connection to local industry. At SCC, for instance, where about 70 percent of the students pursue vocational training, school officials opened an innovative computer-integrated manufacturing center—a "factory of the future"—in 1986. Students in manufacturing related from home to work and data to process and business learn their fields by working with a product from the time it is designed or refined on a computer to the time it reaches the customer.
The two colleges even have the west side of campus. FCC campus has two story buildings. SCC is
located in the center of town, where the cavernous hangarlike buildings easily accommodate automotive equipment, robots and other large machinery. By noon most students on both campuses have finished their classes and have left for work—leaving the campuses nearly empty until the evening students arrive.

commuter schools: Since the Spokane colleges are commuter schools, campus life is hard to maintain: "Nobody lives on campus, so if we get 100 people at a dance we'd be really happy," says Eric Russell, president of the student government at SFCC, which has a nationally recognized jazz band. The biggest issue on campus may be the state's decision to cap enrollment in all of Washington's community colleges, which has meant a decrease in the number of class offerings and cutbacks in services such as library hours. But with so much turnover in the student body, students complain that there isn't enough continuity of leadership to get much accomplished.
Spokane funnels every student through an assessment program. Those who have any thought of moving on to a four-year college deal with a counselor and a detailed work sheet each semester to be sure they are earning credits that fit transfer requirements. Students also take advantage of a variety of remedial and skill-development programs, including preadmission literacy clinics for those who cannot read or write but want to earn a high-school diploma by taking the GED examination.
Aside from the teaching, it is the nurturing environment in the classrooms that students say they like most about community colleges. Sue Pemberton, 52, decided to attend SCC after her marriage of 20 years failed. "At the time of my divorce I thought I could make it. Then I got out there in the working world and discovered that I was about 15 years behind," says Pemberton. At first she just wanted to attend a technical program that offered some skills. But the supportive atmosphere gave them the opportunity to go for an A.A. and then try to transfer to Eastern Washington. "The classes are so much smaller at a two-year school, and you have the opportunity to be a person rather than a number. I decided that I don't care if I am 52," says Pemberton. "I have a future ahead of me."

teaching can be a special challenge. "Some teachers have an idea of standards below which they will not go. Others are very talented in teaching to a wide range of abilities," says Hanke at SFCC. Since they don't have to conduct scholarly research or publish, the Spokane teachers insist that they can concentrate their energies on teaching. A group from the faculty, for example, is seeking funding for an experimental program to teach critical thinking in the liberal arts classes at SFCC.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondeale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1894, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1967, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1968. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, Howard agreed that the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.

Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternites also have been submitted for investigation.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988," Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.

“Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run,” he said. “However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the water must be of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings.”

Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.

Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
Perhaps the most striking recent example of effective activism centered on a local cause that quickly gained national significance. In March trustees at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C—which has educated more than two-thirds of all deaf college graduates in the world (NEWSWEER ON CAMPUS, November 1987)—appointed a president who is not deaf and does not know sign language. Students shut down the school and marched to the Capitol, mobilizing support from Congress and civil-rights groups. Their demonstrations forced the president-elect and the chair of the board of trustees to resign. A deaf Gallaudet dean was chosen as the new president—and soon became a symbol of equal opportunity for the disabled.

For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.

UMass officials pledged more space for minority-student organizations and promised to take action against students found guilty of racial violence. (Two of the white freshmen from the February incident have withdrawn from the university; two others were placed on disciplinary probation for one year.) Racism remains a topic of discussion in classrooms, workstations and rooms. And many students, including whites, now proudly wear a badge of their fight: grosgrain ribbons striped in many colors to symbolize the racial harmony that UMass is supposedly striving for.
Reading support: Animal-rights rally at UCLA
North Carolina State senior Linda Wiggs came late to animal-right work. "I used to have my London broil," says Wiggs, "and the thought of where it came from never crossed my mind." Nowshe's vice president of the campus chapter of Students for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (SETA)—and a confirmed vegetarian.
A few days after the alleged assault, protesting students swept up the steps of the New Africa House, a cultural center for minority students and home to UMass's well-regarded Afro-American studies program. Blacks occupied the house and barred whites in a friendly sit-in. The university made no attempt to oust the protesters. Students sent a card to chancellor Joseph Duffey, whose brother was ill, and Duffey responded with a basket of fruit for the occupiers. Some occupiers went to class while others held the fort. Negotiations succeeded and, six days after entering, occupiers paraded out singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" as 500 supporters cheered.

offers a four-year, $400,000 scholarship to an incoming freshman with an interest in animal rights. Three years ago the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences instituted a policy that allows students who object philosophically to an animal experiment to refrain from performing it without penalty to their grades. The current 40 members, many of them life-sciences majors, are now working for the elimination by banning students in which students monitor the effects of drugs on a live fire's heart rate. SETA wants to replace the live experiment with a computer simulation that the chapter members hope to donate.
Racial tension is nothing new at UM-Amherst. An intracultural brawl after the 1986 World Series left 10 people injured, and minorities have long complained about cuts in student-government funding for their organizations. The most recent incident—two black students and a white student were reportedly attacked by five white freshmen in early February—bred not violence but a well-organized, successful protest. Minority students gave peace a chance, and it worked.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief, said in a videotaped press conference on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987, fire at the Sigma Phi Epion帧iernity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire broke at the Triangle house on May 2, be found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosec-
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The

"Thethey either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly, Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the buildings are of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

Since 1960 hormone levels
What about the Pill and breast cancer? Although there are conflicting reports concerning this issue, the Centers for Disease Control reported that women who took the Pill, even for 15 years, ran no higher risk of breast cancer than women who didn't. The CDC also reported that women who took substantially less common among women who use oral contraceptives.
But if the Pill is so effective at preventing pregnancy, it can later prevent you from having a baby when you're ready to have one? Studies
The Pill has been shown to have other health benefits as well. Pill users are less likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease (tubal infection), urinary tract infections, an cysts and iron deficiency anemia, not to mention menstrual cramps.
Pumping iron has replaced flower power. Pinstripes have replaced paisley. And Wall Street has replaced Woodstock.
In 1960, the Pill contained as much as 150 mcgs of the hormone estrogen. Today, it's down to 15 mcg s/day of a fraction of the original dosage.
But of all the major changes that have taken place since the 60's, one is hardly visible at all: the change that has taken place in the Pill.
First and foremost, what are the risks? Does the Pill cause cancer? Will it make you less fertile? Do you need to take a rest from it? These are just a few questions that have surrounded the Pill since 1960. Questions which must be addressed by you and your physician.
Yet. today's Pill is as effective as yesterday's. In fact, it's still the most effective birth control available other than sterilization.
But is the Pill right for you? You should see your doctor to help you answer that. If the answer is yes, then the ultimate decision is yours. And it's important that you learn all you can about oral contraceptives.
Taking the Pill is easy. Deciding whether or not to take it isn't. That's why it's so important for you to make an informed decision. Continue with your birth control methods. Seek out reliable sources. Talk to your doctor.
You've already taken a step in the
One piece of advice you may have heard if you're on the Pill is that you should take an occasional rest from it. Yet there no medical basis for this advice. Furthermore, a rest could turn out to be anything but restful, since switching to a less effective form of birth control increases your chances for unplanned pregnancy.
Now that you know what the risks aren't, you should know what the risks are. For example, if you are taking the Pill, you should not smoke. Especially if you are over 35. Cigarette smoking is known to increase the risk of seriously and possibly life-threatening adverse effects on the heart and blood vessels from Pill use. What's more, women with certain conditions or medical histories should not use the Pill.

Even if you're already on the Pill, you should see your doctor at least once a year. And read the patient information regularly.
indicate that if you were fertile before you took the Pill, taking it will not affect your ability to children later. Some women may experience a short period of readjustment after discontinuing the Pill. Even so, most women usually become pregnant soon.

As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
A message from the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals through an educational grant from Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College votes against Hillary and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested
primary victories in all four states
and said, "I think I can overcome
this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire department called house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems when meeting the December deadline.
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."

"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate

For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.

Introduction to hunger: Signing up sponsors for Emory's second annual 24-hour fast
Some protesters try and try again, especially at the University of Colorado at Boulder During a three-day span in April 1985, 478 people protesting a recruiting visit were arrested on campus. Later that year an additional 210 were arrested in one day. Before yet another CIA visit, in November 1986, campus police put up a fence to stem the protest. It didn't work: 300 people trampled the blockade and violence followed. Though only 16 protesters were arrested, as many as 75 people claim they were sprayed with Mace by
COLLEGE LIFE
Many more Emory students are involved with Atlanta's hunger problems. More than 300 volunteers work at least once a week in various service projects, including the staffing of local soup kitchens and shelters for the homeless, as part of Volunteer Emory, a satellite group of United Way that has been operating on campus for eight years. And about 100 Emory students joined about 9,000 marchers at a National Coalition for the Homeless rally in Atlanta in late February. "It's not that students were looking for something trendy to protest about. The issue is so prevalent," says Erika Wunderlich, a senior history major

It's one thing to talk about those who do not have enough to eat and another to feel hunger for even a day. Two hundred forty Emory students elected to feel hunger in February during the second annual 24-hour fast sponsored by the Emory Coalition to Oppose Hunger and Homelessness (ECOHH), which raised thousands of dollars for the Atlanta Woman's Day Shelter. (Money is collected from sponsors who "adopt" fasters.) "Whether you're fasting or just sponsoring someone, it makes you think about people who don't have enough to eat," says Jane Marsh, a junior who participated in the fast.
police, others say they were beaten and at least two protesters sued the police. The CIA, however, had finally got the message. Last fall the agency conducted interviews off campus. No protesters showed up this time.
Nor does controversy stop at the career placement office. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, students protested against CIA officer George A. Chriton, a participant in the agency's officer-in-residence program who was appointed to teach a course on intelligence and national security. There were two major protests. Chriton received threats and his campus office was sprayed with graffiti. The political-science department faculty, saying it had not been fully consulted when Chriton was appointed to a two-year teaching position, voted to strip him of his teaching assignment and make him a "visiting fellow." The proposal mandates that Chriton may only guest-late in other professors' classes and may not recruit while serving on campus. That arrangement did not go far enough for 150 students who took over the chancellor's office in protest; 38 were arrested, but the university adopted the proposal and Chriton remained.

arrested during their protests, and there were loud demonstrations on at least a dozen campuses. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a February conflict was particularly rumbunctious. When a CIA recruiter checked into a local hotel room to hold planned interviews, protesters threw red-dye "blood" in front of his door. The recruiter promptly got into his car and ran down the highway to make sure he didn't return. The board of trustees labeled the incidents "violent, terrorist acts," and the university has promised disciplinary actions.

who serves as codirector of Volunteer Emory. "It's so obvious that you can't close your eyes to it."
Environment
The response surprised even the most ardent activists. Last year a consulting firm recommended that Duke develop a large portion of its nearby 8,300-acre Duke Forest and build, among other things, a convention center, condominiums and a shopping mall. Duke's Environmentally Concerned Students (ECOS) responded quickly. In four days the group garnered 3,000 student signatures on a petition denouncing it. It was thinking, "I'm going on here!" said Levin Nock, a graduate biomedical-engineering student who solicited signatures. "No one was arguing with us."
Action against the CIA has created reaction. While some Chapel Hill students fasted to protest the recruiter's visit, others fought back with a free pizza "eat-in" in favor. Students supporting recruiters interrupted an anti-CIA demonstration at Wisconsin last spring, creating a scene of dueling posters. And at Colby College in Maine, students who want recruiting continued are challenging their professors. Last November the faculty passed a resolution asking the board of trustees to ban CIA recruiters. Students responded with their own recommendation to get rid of the faculty proposal, claiming it denied them freedom of choice.
Duke's Save the Forest campaign, organized by acro of four student clubs with local support, continues. Activists lead nature walks through Duke Forest, which surrounds the campus. They point out that nearly 135,000 people visit the preserve each year and that Duke scientists conduct $1 million worth of research there annually, testing such environmental factors as acid-rain levels and air quality, which themselves help it importance to preserve that sanctuary," says Debbie Robertson, a senior history major who heads a student group that takes underprivileged city children for outings in the forest.

At the University of Texas at Austin, the Earth First! club is a small but vocal arm of a nationwide group trying to preserve nature and animals. A current project revolves around the black-capped viroa, a protected species of bird whose nesting and mating areas are threatened by developers, according to Earth First! members. The group also recently protested the annual "rattlesnake roundups" in nearby towns. These charity fund-raisers feature fries rattlesnake meat and a demonstration in which a handler is zipped into a sleeping bag with 20 snakes and tries to emerge unbitten—usually successfully. "Everything is centered around the capture, torture and killing of rattlesnakes," says Barbara Dugelby, state coordinator for Earth First! and a 1987 Texas graduate. Members locked themselves to a roundup fence and to two poles holding a banner which read, "Animal torture is no way to run a charity." The roundup, however, went on as scheduled.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flairfish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwan, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epson fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution," Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December dead-
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other Greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office. Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988," Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Kansan staff writer
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University.

Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.

Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and structural problems, which led to the creation of a building to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion poll. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.

on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,

house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December dead-
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office, Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa'
Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately compiles with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Official reverses Hoch ruling
Kansan staff writer
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-up, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is that a lot of acceptable quality going through other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

A rising number of serious tennis players now share that long-range point of view. In the past, some top men such as Jimmy Connors (UCLA) and John McEnoe and Roscoe Tanner (Stanford) enrolled in college before starting their professional careers. Because women mature faster physically than men, however, college tennis was thought to stunt their competitive development. That thinking is changing, says Stanford who has coached Frank Brennan, a former coach at the Naples school for the past two years. He notes that Patty Fendick, Stanford's top player last year, graduated and reached the semifinals as a pro in this year's Australian Open. "Certainly a no one can look at Patty and say, 'Poor kid, she should have turned pro when she was 18,'" says Brennan.
houses, Stanford, USC, UCLA and Pepperdine, still retain much of their clout—but they no longer dominate the game. The University of Georgia, for example, took the NCAA men's championship last year and in 1985. As many as 30 universities are good enough to contend for NCAA Division I tournament places in any season. The sport still has a long way to go before losing its elitist image, however; partly because of the expense, it remains largely a class preserve. Only a handful of black players ever received tennis scholarships, says former Wimbledon champion Arthel Ash.
For all its glamorous trappings, college tennis is rougher than fun and games. Varsity players usually put in several hours a day of weight training and practice. After he became University of Kansas women's
College tennis is netting talented athletes for several reasons. Cautionary tales of players such as Tracy Austin and Andrea Jaeger, who shot to the top as teen professionals and then suffered injuries and career burnout, have re-emphasized the importance of being well rounded. Then, too, the bloom is off the tennis money tree of the '70s, so that many young players are now happier to be All-Americans than touring pros. The top-ranked offer players skilled instruction, a strong school identity, and a coach who pass that up for the pro in the task that they will "just riot on the vine," according to Dan Magill, men's coach at the University of Georgia.
The new popularity of college tennis also owes something to its greater breadth and depth. The traditional California power-

Sophomore Jeff Tarango is a double major in philosophy and creative writing "I didn't want to be labeled as [just an] athlete all my life," says Tarango. "When you get to Stanford you're looked on as an intellectual as much as anyone else."
gram, you have got to recruit at least one great player a year," says Scott Perelman, director of men's and women's tennis at Kansas Freshman John Falbo, for example, was a three-time junior national champion and played for the U.S. Junior Davis Cup team last summer. "If a player is serious about turning pro, this is one of the best places in the country to come because of coach Perelman and his program," says Falbo. "I was physically ready to play pro, but I wasn't mentally mature enough. The mental toughness separates the great pros from the average ones."
Not every college tennis program is fiercely competitive, of course. At Tufts near Boston, for instance, team members insist they play to win their Division III title—but most can't help calling tennis an "outlet." Tufts plays only 12 matches per year, compared to the two dozen or more

is it coach or is it professor? Aggies have been wondering since the Texas A&M Board of Regents appointed head football coach and athletic director Jackie Sherill "professor of athletics"—with "tenure." The board's action—and the debate it has set off among faculty and administrators—is as clear as the Brazos.

Still, angry members of the faculty senate passed resolutions which, after praising Sherrill personally, declared his new title to be strictly honorary. It "carries with it no real or pretended entry into the Texas A&M faculty of scholars, nor any supposed establishment of any academic entity called Athletics," the faculty group said. By giving Sherrill the highest academic rank with tenure, says faculty senator David Anderson, the Board of Regents has reduced it to "something that you can find
Tenure, of course, protects the teaching position when granted by an academic department. Since the coach's special "Department of Athletics" is a creative fiction, however, it carries no added job security, according to faculty and administrators. That won't lessen the real value of Sherrill's job: he has a five-year contract that pays $11,856 in salary, plus an additional $130,000 in talent fees for the "Jackie Sherrill Show" on local television.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-10 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dakukis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us." Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity.
"When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwan. Lawrence fire chief, said in a video-taped press conference on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987, fire at the Sigma Phi Epion fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, assuring that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution," Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other Greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosec
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988," Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley

By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment found high levels of 1,2-dichloroethane (also called ethylene dichloride) in the water after a
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.
"It's quite possible we'll never know where it came from," he said.

As more regional and local theaters have blossomed in recent years, the backstage job market has grown. The Theatre Communications Group, a national service organization for not-for-profit theaters, began with 14 members in 1962 and now has about 260. The increased sophistication of theatres and plush houses has also created more opportunities—and sent the message that serious theater can thrive in many elements.
Some backstage pros do eventually achieve a certain name status: premier customer Theoni Aldrede, for example, has won three Tony awards, Broadway's version of the Oscar. But for most, there is neither fame nor great fortune. Designers often free-fance on several projects at once, making between $25,000 and $40,000 per year if success occurs. What else can the performance is the drive for most, plus the powerful feeling that they helped create a believable atmosphere out of whole cloth.
signers. (Stage managers are represented by Actors' Equity). Prospective members build union credentials by working on professional shows. Anyone may be hired for a professional production, but if it is union-affiliated, the designer must join the union. USA business representative James Ryan says the union's 1986 survey found that 43 percent of its members were not employed in union productions that year—although they could have been working in their fields in other, nonunion shows.
Still, as with acting and directing, backstage jobs remain relatively scarce, according to officials of United Scenic Artists (USA), the union that represents most de

Quality control is also strict. Last year fewer than half the designers who took USA's demanding annual entrance examination passed, many on their second or third try. Those who pass join an already crowded industry. "If the schools did not put out any more nonperforming professionals for the next 15 years, there still would be more people than jobs," says Walter Williamson, author of "Behind the Scenes: The Unseen People Who Make Theater Work." New people will enter the

However vivid the images they create, most backstage artists remain unsung. That, perhaps, is only proper: the willful suspension of disbelief, after all, frees the theatergoer from worrying about how the lighting changes or what the costumes are made of. But designers, who fashion lighting, sets and costumes, and stage management, are all familiar with durability, know that, "One accepts that the people who are seen are the actors," says set designer Hugh Landwehr, who studied art history at Yale.
Ralph Funicello, it's a canvas for his creativity. Standing alone with the blank stage of the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco before him, Funicello's eyes intently study a backdrop that isn't there, imagining characters performing. Will the furniture work best on wheels? What color curtains will set the proper mood? Is wood or metal correct for the play's historic period? "Trying to visualize a set that will enable a production to come to life is the most challenging part of the job," says the 20-year veteran theaterman. "I'm responsible for the images."

"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Kansan staff writer
By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment found high levels of 1,2-dichloroethane in the water.
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Official reverses Hoch ruling
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.
"It's quite possible we'll never know where it came from." he said.

A state fire auditor who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University of Kansas for classes and concerts.

He instead of putting himself against poverty in some hopeless city slum, Lipsion works 20 hours a week at a modern hospital in Chicago's fashionable Lincoln Park area while earning his graduate degree from the University of Chicago. His patients in the chemical-dependency unit are as likely to be cocaine-addicted Yuppies as alcoholic vagrants. The 31-year-old Lipson, who receives his master's in social work in June, wants to become a certified addiction counselor and eventually set up his own private practice. Ask why and he sounds somewhat like the stockbroker and commodities trader he used to be. "I don't want to be the type who works for the state and has a caseload of 400 and burns out early," he says. "I want to make a good back."
Such a frank admission would have been heresy 20 years ago, when thousands of social workers enlisted in the War on Poverty. Today the profession is focusing increasingly on the middle class and its malauses—a shift due in part to the Reagan

administration's severe cuts in social-service spending for the poor. The field still appeals to those with a strong social conscience, especially now that problems such as AIDS, homelessness and sexual abuse of children have high visibility. But several new specialties—notably occupational social work and psychotherapy—attract a new breed of professionals who want to help themselves while helping others. Although starting salary for M.S.W.'s average only about $18,000, a therapist in private practice can earn up to $25,000 per year. Says Robert Denken, dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Southern California: "They have found you can be an altruist and still drive a BMW."
On the strength of those specialties, the profession is emerging from a decadelong decline. Enrollment in Columbia's graduate social-work program, which fell from 750 to 400 between 1977 and 1982, has bounced back 50 percent since then. And the Boston University School of Social Work last year established its first waiting
list in 10 years after applications rose 23 percent. In the early 80s, recalls Boston dean Hubert Jones, some graduates took two years to find jobs. "We had many graduates coming back and saying, 'My God, I got a graduate education. I made this investment, and what did I do it for? I'm having a hell of a time finding a job.'" says Jones. But last year the job picture for BU grads brightened considerably, which helped make available that position wide: the Department of Labor predicts demand will increase 33 percent by 2000, a rate almost twice the average for all occupations.
As social work's appeal rises, so do professional standards. Since 1980, 36 states have passed or revised laws regulating the profession; more than 20 states now require a degree from one of the nation's 347 accredited bachelor's or 93 accredited master's programs. The vast majority of America's social workers still serve in the same public or nonprofit agencies that traditionally employed them—in family services.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needling about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukatis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks; They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1894, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a video-taped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU green houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active grey houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office, Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"Thethey either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Serious business: Shefelman with Pat Maloy, Dow Jones employee-services manager
child-protection agencies or government antipoverty programs. A growing number, however, work in business or private practice, where salaries are higher and case-loads less taxing. In 1972 only 3 percent of America's social workers served in nontraditional, for-profit settings; in 1987 the figure stood at 20 percent.
Minding business: Carolyn Shefleman counts herself among the nontraditionalists. She works in the burgeoning field of occupational social work at New York's Brownlee Dolan Stein Associates, which has over 300 employees more than 90 U.S. corporations, including Ford Motor Co., Dow Jones and News-week. Inc. Shefleman, 29, earns nearly
$80,000 a year college employees with family and drugabuse problems and running corporate workshops on stress management and MBI research. Businesses with such programs more than doubled between 1975 and 1984 to more than 5,000. The reason: "Businesses are beginning to realize that what happens to their employees affects the bottom line," says Nancy Randolph of the Council on Social Work Education.
Perhaps the biggest force behind the profession's recent recovery is the entry of social workers into psychotherapy—a specialty that in most states requires an M.S.W. and two years of supervised experience. Almost two-thirds of social workers did full- or part-time therapy in 1986, up from one-quarter just four years earlier. Several developments have helped
clear the way. Patients' dischantment with drawn-out, expensive Freudian analysis has led to a boom in the short-term therapies that social workers practice. And 22 states now require insurers to pay social workers for therapy, allowing them to compete with psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. "If I can do the therapy just like a psychologist, why should I be paid less because I'm a social worker?" says Carolyn Lim, 24, a graduate student in social work at the University of Chicago.
Many therapists work in public programs or nonprofit mental-health clinics. But for others the ultimate goal is setting up their own private practice. More than 15 percent of the National Association of Social Workers' 113,000 members now have full-time private practices, with another 15 percent in private practice part time. Among young social workers, the draw of private practice is even stronger. A 1984 study found that 86 percent of entering M.S.W. students in direct services—a category that encompasses about two-thirds of all social workers—wanted to go into private practice. The appeal is no mystery to Marshall Feldman, 34, a Columbia student. "In an agency, you're expected to see 25 or 30 clients a week," says Feldman, who interns at a nonprofit mental-health clinic. "Multiply that by $50, you get over $1,200 a week, over $50,000 a year. In an agency, you might pay $25,000—if you're lucky. Naturally, you start thinking . . ."

Deny the need? That sort of thinking has some observers worried. In the rush to cash in on private practice, they fear, social work may be abandoning its commitment to the disadvantaged—a commitment going back to its roots in 19th-century charities for paupers and the mentally ill. Statistics back up that fear: from 1982 to 1987 the percentage of NASW members in public agencies fell 20 percent. "I get very upset when I hear students say, 'I'm going to come here and then go into private practice.'" says Danna Wood, director of job development and information service at the Columbia School of Social Work. "Those who have the least are the ones who need us the most."
In the face of federal budget reductions and the lure of lucrative private practice, however, the most surprising thing may be that so many social workers retain their commitment to helping the poor. When Regina Medina graduated from California

State at Unico in 1986, she knew she wanted to work with disadvantaged youth. Now, as an M.S.W student at the University of Southern California, she interns at a clinic for emotionally disturbed and sexually abused children in Los Angeles's depressed Watts district. "There's such great potential in this population, but so often it's misdirected," says Medina, 27, who works with children four to 16. "They're deprived of the education they need, and they can get involved with gangs and drugs. To neglect them is unfair." As long as that attitude survives, the boom in nontraditional social work won't see the profession abandoning its old constitutency but broadening its base to include new ones.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-1o or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Duke's emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
'My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukaias said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush pushed uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Monale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity.
"When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSwin. Lawrence fire chief, said in a videotaped press conference on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987, fire at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, the Lawrence Fire Department developed a program to bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
'The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."

The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternites also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University of Kansas for classes and concerts.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.

Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection.

Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and structural problems, which led to the decision to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed.

College Tries The best prizes are jobs
More and more students are entering competitions these days. The contests differ; some, like the two-year-old AMA version, seek real solutions to fund-raising problems facing nonprofit groups. Others, like the annual contest run by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), ask students to design pitches for specific products; this year Nestle is seeking an upscale image for its chocolate products. Still other contests, like those run three times a year by the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), seek hypothetical design solutions for existing structures—such as a new terminal for Washington's Dulles International Airport.
The American Red Cross depends on sales of blood products, such as plasma, for more than half its revenues. But with the AIDS crisis cutting into blood collections, the charity is being forced into new marketing plans to bring in additional cash for disaster relief. To help, the American Marketing Association (AMA), a trade group for advertising pros and students, is sponsoring a collegiate competition for ad campaigns. The prize: $1,000 and—not so coincidentally—the chance to shine in the eyes of potential employers.
ton's dunes from the city. What makes these contests so popular? Organizations get exposure to potential lifetime uses-payers. Corporate backers get good ideas, cheap. In the AAF contest, in instance, they own the rights to the winning ideas; an AAF brochure aimed at potential business sponsors suggests that they'll obtain entree to "Madison Avenue's next generation at a fraction of the cost." But what do contestants get? At the very least, according to Carlene Nolan-Pederson, a senior at Montana State, one can expect an enhanced application to grad school. "This shows my breadth beyond

As most, students hope, they will even snare a job. Steve Nisberg, an employment manager at Young and Rubicam, "Ince agrees that winning is impressive." When I look through the thousands of resumes we receive, I look for any related work experience," says Nisberg. "I know how much goes into preparing these presentations." So does David Penick, an associate at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who says hypothetical design projects are "very representative of what the student] has accomplished." Not every hire professional concurs. "There's a golf a mile wide between schoolwork and practical work," says Steve Achilles, an associate at John Burgee Architects. Still, ambition springs eternal.

Kansan staff writer
A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire-code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoch is safe and can be used by the University of Kansas for classes and concer-

Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years!" he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
"We're looking for the general needs of the campus." Modig said.
As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us." Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videotaped press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,
fire at the Sigma Phi Epida fraternity
house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
"The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have a work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly, Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Bv Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest report, released a day ago, exists, a statement, released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.

Making It 'Big'
'I need an enormous amount of encouragement to do anything—even go out to dinner'; *Marshall*
Rocky starts don't deter Penny Marshall; crisis turns her on
A's Laverne on ABC's "Laverne and Shirley." Penny Marshall danced the schiemel-schlamazel, fell down more ramps than Chevy Chase and fought off hurricanes. She helped to make the sitcom one of the top shows on television for seven seasons. Yet her comedic success never convinced her that she would ever be able to direct. The self-deprecating New Yorker believed she was too indecisive to bark orders at grips and gaffers, too klutzy to figure out Steadicams and too shy to instill inspiration in actors.
But witness this act of self-assertion. In the final weeks of production on her soon-to-be-released movie, "Big," she is discussing a song for the sound track with James Brooks, the executive producer. As co-director of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and director of both "Terms of Endearment" and "Broadcast News," Brooks is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. He is urging her to use a sophisticated Gershwin tune "Woody Allen would do it in a minute," he pushes. But Marshall his Gershwin would clash with the rock heard elsewhere in the film, so she stands her ground. Taking a drug on her Marlboro, she chides, "But what a transition to Billy Idol."
And what a transition for Penny Marshall. After being dumped from her first directorial project, "Peggy Sue Got Married," and being called in at a moment's notice to barely revive her second, "Jump-in Jack Flash," Marshall seems to have hit it big with "Big" at the age of 45. Twentieth Century Fox is so high on her sophisticated comedy about a kid who wakes up an adult that the studio pushed up its release to June, when the movie will go head to head with Eddie Murphy and George Lucas.

At the end of his first day in a man's body, when he's run away from home and is panicked, Joshua holes up in a New York City floophouse and cries himself to sleep as police sirens screech outside.
In "Big," a 13-year-old boy (Joshua Baskin) goes to bed one night wishing to be "big" and wakes up the next morning in the body of Tom Hanks. The problem is that he still views life as that Little League kid. While the plot bears some superficial resemblance to the rash of age-swap movies that have come out recently, director Mar-

Still, she took the walk-on parts (Nurse 2, Hippie 1) she could get on various TV shows, and her career began to develop.

The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.

Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
Official reverses Hoch ruling

By Monica Hayde
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a

As "Laverne and Shirley" zoomed to the top, it passed "All in the Family," costaring Marshall's second husband, Rob Reiner. She'd met Reiner—the son of producer-director Carl Reiner—while they were performing in an improv troupe. But the marriage unravelled under prime-time stress. By the time "Laverne and Shirley" ended its run in 1983, Marshall was divorced and very, very tired. For the next three years, she had little to do with show business.

With his second film, "Powaqatsi." director Gordrey Freiggy shows that he has the courage of his convictions. His first motion picture, "Koyannisqati?" (1983), was a stunning, iconic classical piece of work. A documentary without narration about America, "Koyannisqati" combined time-lapse photography and a beautiful, relentless musical score by Philip Glass into a dazzling feast for the eyes and ears. Now comes "Powaqatsi," the second of his projected "gats" trilogy named after the Hopi Indian term for "life." Reggio has broadened his scope from the United States to the world, but he's maintained the non-narrative blend of riveting cinematography (high-speed photography, which translates normal action into slow motion) and propulsive music (again by Glass).
"Powaqatsi" spans the globe, but it focuses on such Third World countries as Nepal and Peru. It's hard to decipher a specific message out of "Pawaqatsi," but Reggio splices a pointed contrast between native, undeveloped cultures and emerging, semi-technologized societies. Simple folk societies seem especially pristine next to the squailer of newly overcrowded Third World cities. The word "pwaqatsi" roughly translates into "an entity that consumes the life forms of others to further its own life." Through Reggio's eyes, it seems unfortunately clear that man is both the exploiter and the exploited.

Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
DUARKS emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us." Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.

Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office. Barr said.

Syntistically, the O'Kanes blend the old and the new in a very appealing fashion. You can hear the influence of bluegrass in the instrumentals, the easy vocal harmonies so reminiscent of the Everly Brothers and a few jazzy digressions as well. This is true innovation in country music—musical and lyrical explorations by new traditionalists who make music that is both new and traditional. Just when you think you've got some basic bluegrass, the next tune harks back to folk or the blues. If you don't listen to the O'Kanes just because they're country, you're missing an awfully fine line. Buy this record—it's good.

Few album titles describe their contents as well as We Go a Party! The Best of Ron Records, Volume One (Rounder). This rhythm-and-blues collection from a shortlist (1958-62) New Orleans record company rolls along in typical Crescent City fashion. The singers belt, woope and cajole to jackhammer piano, torrid sax and spring rhythm sections. Not everybody on this record is well known; as a small independent label, Ron had the services of such legendary singers as Professor Longhair and Chris Kenner only on occasion. But even the lesser lights shine brightly here. And the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas, sets the blistering pace on "Don't Mess With My Man" when she sings, "You can have my husband / But please don't mess with my man."
With the exception of an occasional anomaly, such as Suzanne Vega's "Laka," you don't hear much folk rock with political overtones that days. But Tracy Chapman isn't afraid to take on larger issues, such as poverty and injustice, or smaller subjects, such as the emptiness of small-town life. Her self-titled album, Tracy Chapman ("Elektra"), brings these problems to life with clarity, simplicity and directness. "Fast Car" describes a woman trapped in a dying community, whose only escape is her lover's automobile. Chapman brings out the despair with very plain lyrics: "I'd always hoped for better / Maybe together, you and me, fine / Got no plans, ain't going nowhere / Take your fast car and keep on driving." There are some moments when Chapman seems naive, but the utter conviction of her husky ally brings it off.

The clean, sumptuous brass arrangements range from straight to subversive on tunes as diverse as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and band member Steve Turre's Ellington-inspired "Duke's Fantasy." The interaction between solos and brass choir on the hoary standard "Personality" makes the tune come alive. And the overlapping of sustained notes on the title track gives the piece a somber, impressionistic feel. This metal is truly heavy. Also truly light. Also exhilarating.

Nielsen promises to count late night's hidden fans
Richard Nixon had his "silent majority." Pat Robertson has his "invisible army." Now David Letterman has his "corps of the uncounted." NBC has long argued that the all-important Nielsen TV ratings underreport college viewers of its hip programs, primarily "Late Night With David Letterman," "Saturday Night Live" and "Friday Night Videos." So the network decided to pay for its own survey. The results demonstrated what many already assumed: a large number of college students weren't getting measured. Add them to Nielsen estimates for the Letterman show and viewership jumps from 3.7 million to nearly 4.5 million.
The survey has stirred a ratings industry already shaken by controversy. The replacement of diaries, filled out by Nielsen families in their homes, with "people meters"—which automatically record vieworship—has muddled the ratings picture. NBC's survey has prodded Nielsen into admitting that its procedures miss "out of home" viewers in places like hospitals, hotels and dorms. Nielsen has pledged to include college students in its official count soon, saying NRC a sense of

tune") Sajak, David Poltrach, vice president of marketing for CBS, insists Sajak has more than just a deft touch with the wheel. "He has the kind of appeal that Letterman has. He's irreverent, humorous, self-deprecating" NBC, meanwhile, will make light night even later. Starting Aug 22, they'll trot out sportscaster Bob Costas on week nights to host "Later with Bob Costas" from 1:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. ABC, though, will be to bed comparatively early; the network plans nothing more for late night beyond the more sober "Nightline."
**Hi viewers:** Advertisers have taken the NBC data in stride. David Marans, vice president of media research for Young & Rubicam, says NBC's survey "is not news because we always assumed this type of viewing was going on." Indeed, advertisers recognized Letterman's student following by their willingness to pay more for commercial time than the Nielsen would justify.
No one had to tell students, of course, that they tune in to the hip show. "Everybody watches Letterman," says Columbia senior Sharon Barden. Georgetown see'r

Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and structural problems, which led to the establishment to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
"We're looking for the general needs of the campus," Modig said.
As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.

The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-10 or more.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden op
portunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks: They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Frat may be charged for violating fire code
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.
Jim McSain, Lawrence fire chief,
said in a videoated press conference
on May 5 that after the April 26, 1987,

house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU greek houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made, Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle MMA Club, none of the changes had been made.
The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in with the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance, Gast said. He anticipated no problems when meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
Five other greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office. Barr said.
The Alpha Kappa Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities and the Alpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obiterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately compiles with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

Water safe, tests indicate
Cancer-causing chemical no longer present at Lindley
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
For two weeks, signs were posted inside and outside Lindley Hall warning people not to drink the water in the building. On Friday, they were removed.
Warning notices were posted in the building on May 20 after state and University inspectors found high levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water in Room 107. But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment found high levels of 1,2-chloroethane (also called ethylene dichloride) in the water after a complaint was made about the odor and color of the
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
"Tests have not been run camp-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality so the water is in all of it." Of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings.
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.
"It's quite possible we'll never know where it came from," he said.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said the University and the KDHF.
Official reverses Hoch ruling
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
A state fire official who said in April that Hoch Auditorium might have to be closed because of fire hazards now says it is a safe building.
Paul Markley, who is chief of the fire prevention division for the state fire marshal's office, said after his April inspection of Hoch that the 61-year-old building was too dangerous to use because of fire code violations.
But Markley said Monday Hoeh is safe and can be used by the University of Kansas for classes and concerts.

Sady, some of the decline must be attributed to laziness. The Great American Couch Potato Epidemic has reduced some collegians to chairbound ALF worshipers. Many of the greatest escapes had their genesis in boredom. But the incentive to do creative things with statues of past campus presidents is lost when a student turned sofa spud has 64-channel cable.
Today's young scholars are abundining a legacy, frittering away a trust fund of truly great pranks perpetuated by their predecessors. Students now seem less inclined to commit the devilish deeds that have had adults chuckling. Oh, those college kids!" since at least the 18th century. Panty raids are down nationwide.

the decline could also be blamed on the gradual relaxation of moral standards. Students are less likely to be creeping out in the predawn hours playing tricks if they could be spending that time creeping into someone's boudoir.

college education remains. Wake up, campers! Remember when you were in high school, and you dreamed of all the wild things you'd do when you got to college? How many of them have you done? Campers more than bad beer, junk food and a better computer games. It's supposed to be an awakening of the spirit, an opening of the soul, a broadening of the mind. Simply put, college is a place to get away with as much as you can.
Our system of higher education is in crisis. Yes, Johnny can read. And write. Doesn't too bad a job programming a computer, either. But he lacks the know-how to play a good prank. Whether he realizes it or not, without this crucial skill, his career will be woefully incomplete.

This isn't professional wrestling; a prank isn't necessarily legal just because it happened in the ring. There are some things, however hilarious they sound, that go beyond the bounds of good taste. One general rule to follow is: if the endeavor could earn you a felony conviction, it usually isn't a good idea. Other than that, just have fun and repeat the true prankster's credo: "If David Letterman can do it, so can I."
John Friedman is a senior at Carnegie Mellon who plans to become a college administrator.
If you still lack for inspiration, look to role models. Allen Funt of "Candid Camera" is the dean of pranksters. Although now only late at night on channels with numbers larger than your IQ. Funt is a veritable fountain of ideas. Even check out top administrators at your school; you'll probably be surprised at the percentage who were college cutups. Maybe that's why they're still in school instead of being out in the real world.

James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
"The sprinklers are there to protect the buildings," he said. "We care about the buildings, but our main concern is getting the people out."
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.

Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Dukakis emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukakis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.

"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)." he said.
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1984, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

City Prosecutor Jerry Little said yesterday he would file charges against the Triangle fraternity next week for failure to comply with city fire codes.

house, the Lawrence Fire
Department developed a program to
bring all KU grees houses into compliance with the fire code.
The department inspected the 37 active Greek houses in June and July 1987, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The corporation board of each house was given a list of violations and was required to turn in plans of compliance, including a schedule for completion, by January 1988. A corporation board is a group of alumni that acts as landlord of the house.
The Triangle board turned in a statement to Barr, asserting that all required changes had been made. Little said. However, when the fire marshal inspected the Triangle house on May 2, he found that none of the changes had been made.
'The only course of action that the
fire department is interested in within the Triangle house is prosecution." Little said. "The next step is filing charges against that fraternity."
Ron Gast, Triangle corporation board president, said a new board, including himself, was elected in February and that the original plan of compliance had been submitted by the former board. Gast said he and other board members learned of the fire-code problems from the house's student officers after the May inspection.
Five other Greek houses also are under investigation by the city prosecutor's office. Barr said.
The board is taking bids so it can make a new plan of compliance. Gast said. He anticipated no problems with meeting the December deadline.
"We want to get costs in mind first," he said. "I think we will have a firm plan by this summer and have some of the work completed by September."
The Alpha Kappa Lambda andLambda Chi Alpha fraternities and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority have not come to agreement with the fire department on plans of compliance with the fire code, Little said. The
1au Kappa Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities also have been submitted for investigation.
"They either have not submitted plans of compliance or the compliance time frame is not acceptable." Little said. "What I'm trying to do is to open the lines of communication."
The project involves obliterating grandfather clauses, under which older structures do not to have to comply with fire codes enacted after they were built, he said.
Normally, the fire department inspects greek houses twice a year to ensure that existing fire equipment is working properly. Barr said. The present fire-code project, however, involves seeing that the existing equipment adequately complies with today's fire code.
"If they do not involve sprinkler systems, because sprinkler systems are a very large project from a structural standpoint, we are requiring those plans of compliance to be completed by December 1988." Barr said at the press conference. "If they involved sprinkler systems, then we extended that deadline by one year."

But the latest tests have shown that no health hazard exists, a University statement released Saturday said.
Inspectors from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment found high levels of 1,2- dichloroethane (also called ethylene dichloride) in the water after a complaint was made about the odor and color of the water coming from one of the sinks in the building, said Robin Eversole, director of University Relations.
This first test showed a contamination level of 31.5 parts per billion. But a second test done a week later showed only 0.6 parts per billion, said Bob Moody, director of public relations for the KDHE.
The KDHE enforces an action limit, or a maximum level of contamination, of five parts per billion, Moody said. The action limit is the level of contamination at which the state would take a water supply out of service.
Bob Bearse, associate vice chancellor, said ethylene dichloride is a common cleaning solvent.
"We probably use it by the thousands of gallons here at the University," he said.
"Tests have not been run campus-wide, but they are in the process of being run," he said. "However, the water coming into Lindley Hall is of acceptable quality, so the assumption is it's probably of acceptable quality going into all the other buildings."
Bearse said it was unlikely the water in any other campus buildings was contaminated.
Steve Cater, University environment, health and safety officer, said no one knew why such an elevated level of ethylene dichloride was in the water.
"It's quite possible we'll never know where it came from," he said.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said the University and the KDHE would continue to look for the cause of the contamination.
Ramaley said the University was going to continue to watch the situation because a one-time event was difficult to evaluate. She said it did not appear to be a continuing problem.
"So the situation in Lindley was that it could have been beer, but it was not an immediate risk," he said. "Pepperidge Farm has a new line."
In Kansas, the action level of ethylene dichloride is set at five parts per billion because, statistically, if 100,000 people drink such water from only that source for 70 years, one more person would get cancer than would have otherwise. Bearse said.

The original report cited the lack of emergency lighting and of a sprinkler system for the stage area. Markley had said. Hoch could be closed unless the University corrected the violations by December. However, when he met with University officials May 3, Markley was informed there was a working generator at Hoch, which he had not seen, that controlled the necessary emergency lighting.

main concerns when inspecting a building; fire alarms, clear exits and emergency lighting that comes on after a fire. Hoeh has all three. Markley said.
He said not having a sprinkler system above the stage would not make it necessary to close Hoch.
"The sprinklers are there to protect the buildings," he said. "We care about the buildings, but our main concern is getting the people out."
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said the problem with the original inspection probably was a result of a KU Facilities and Operations employee who was sent with Markley on the inspection. Anderson said it was common practice for KU employees to assist the fire marshals during inspections. He said the employee probably was not familiar with Hoch and its lighting system.
"There is an emergency lighting system, and its been there for at least 15 years," he said. "The problem was, no one asked the right person."
Hoch Auditorium once was used as the home court for the Jayhawks basketball team until Allen Field House was dedicated in 1955. Hoch has had a long history of safety and structural problems, which led to the establishment of arts center to build a new performing arts center within the next few years.
James Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said his office and a committee appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, are reviewing possibilities for using Hoch once the new performing arts building is completed. Modig said some suggestions were offices, classrooms or an addition to the new science library.
"We're looking for the general needs of the campus." Modig said.
As for the near future, not much will be done to Hoch, he said. Some of the stonework will be repaired this year under the fiscal year 1988 budget. But there will be no projects for the fiscal year of 1989 because the Board of Regents did not approve the requests.
KJHK format change draws complaint

NO CASH IN THRASN?
Cancellation of 'thrash' angers listeners. DJs
Vandals spray-painted graffiti on the KJHK building May 15.
Melissa Montalbano/KANSAN
By Lisa Sheikh Kansan staff writer
"No cash in thirst?" was spraypainted in bold black letters on the front of the KJHK building May 15 after a decision to cut the Monday night show from the station's special programming.
The statement, which is still visible, is accompanied by a huge encircled 'A' painted across the KJHK letters. The emblem generally is to symbolize anarchy.
Since his decision, the station has received numerous complaints from listeners. Some of the disc jockeys also are unhappy with the format change. The spray paint was the only reported case of vandalism.
Jerry Howard, JKHK station manager, canceled the weekly thrash show on May 5, a few days after taking over as manager of the University radio station.
Howard said he cut thrash because he thought the show was serving only a small audience and was causing KJHK to be labeled as a thrash station.
In addition, he said, music from the Monday night thrash show was slipping into regular programming hours and earning the station an unpopular, and inaccurate, reputation as a nearly all-thrash station.
"It's not appealing to a large enough group to merit its worth on the radio," he said. "Secondly, it's generally so devoid of music quality that the listeners should stop it. When we've got better music to play, we should."
Howard said the thrash music was not fulfilling that purpose.
Until that music is missing entirely, he said, students will continue to see it as a thresh station, and KJK will fail to attract more listeners.
"We had an audience that really dug it," Babka said. "But the problem, I understood, was that some of the people only tuned in for that
Babka said he initially argued against forward's decision, but now is defending it.
"I think that, because of the way it was reacting to the other music that was being played, that (the decision) could be positive."
show, and in a lot of cases, the jocks were playing thrash outside the Monday night show, which wasn't helping.
Howard said cancelling thrasher was the first step in an movement toward making the station more professional. In the past, he said, KJHK has taken anything it got and put it on the shelf to play.
"There need to be some standards in there," he said.
Howard said the show, which aired from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., would be replaced with "experimental" music, "stuff that is still a little or a
lot too far out to be played during regular programming."
"We don't want to delete this programming all together, because we are supposed to an alternative music outlet," he said.
"But by no means is it another thrash."
Howard said he saw no potential for bringing back thrash music in the
"As a programming person, I've got to leave the options open," he said. "But as far as I'm concerned, I have no plans for HIK. I have no plans to resurrect it."
Ann Peck, Olathe senior and disc jockey at KJHK, said she was not sure what effect the decision would have on KJHK.
Dukakis finishes with nomination
Dukakis dominated Jesse Jackson coast to coast on the final night of a grueling Democratic primary marathon. He was winning primaries in New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and California by margins of 2-to-1 or more.
Michael Dukakis clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a four-state flourish Tuesday night and forecast a "golden opportunity" to win the White House in 1988. Republican George Bush labeled himself the underdog heading into the fall campaign but said, "I'm fighting back."
The Associated Press
The three-term Massachusetts governor began the night needing about 150 delegates to achieve a mathematical lock on the nomination. He was winning more than 131 in New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico combined, and early returns from California showed him ahead for more than 200 delegates.
Thus, the prospect is for a close general election, and Bush and Dukakis seemed to share an eagerness to begin.
DURKIS emerged as the winner of the Democratic primary marathon and owner of a lead over Bush in the nationwide public opinion polls. But Bush, who wrapped up the GOP nomination six weeks ago, holds formidable Electoral College advantages in the South and West, and Republicans have won four of the last five presidential elections.
"My friends, what a golden opportunity this is for us," Dukalis said as he savored his nominating triumph in a speech in California. He pledged to use his campaign to stand up for factory workers thrown out of their jobs with no warning, to ease the burden of families hit by medical bills and to "share the rage" of those living in neighborhoods threatened by drugs.
"Every day between now and November, the American people will want to hear how we intend to build a strong and vibrant future for our country," he said. "They aren't interested in slashing attacks. They want to judge our positive ideas for change."
In a television interview, he likened Dukakis to Walter Mondale, the landslide Democratic loser in 1894, for refusing to rule out a tax increase. "I'll rule it out," Bush said in an interview with CBS, and rely on a spending freeze to reduce the deficit.
Bush posted uncontested primary victories in all four states and said, "I think I can overcome this deficit (in the polls)," he said.
He decried the "gloom and doom" that he said was emanating from the Democrats and said the polls would change as he began to establish his own political identity. "When we get through in the fall talking about opportunity and peace and numbers of jobs and how much better things are and what I'll do to keep it that way, I think I can overcome that deficit," he said.

Journey to help Nicaraguans
By Lisa Sheikh
Ted Millich, Kansas City, Mo., senior, helps ready an old school bus for a trip to Nicaragua. Millich and three other University of Kansas students and a former KU teaching assistant left Lawrence for Managua on May 30.

When Jon Bell was approached by a representative of the U.S. Veterans Peace Convoy and asked to buy a button to support the Veterans aid to Nicaragua, he laughed. That was in April.
Dave Niebergall KANSAN
The students are part of a convoy of 50 trucks and buses from all over the country that assembled on June 2 in Austin, Texas. Except for the KU students, the convoy drivers are Vietnam veterans.
Now, he and four University of Kansas students are on their way to Managua, Nicaragua, to help bring medical supplies to the war-torn country.
The convoy expects to arrive in Managua on June 17. There, it will deliver the medical supplies to the Pope John XXIII Foundation, which will distribute them.
The convoy originally intended to take all the donated supplies by truck and bus, but Quest for Peace, a church relief organization based in Mt. Rainier, Md., which supervised the collection, received ten times the amount of supplies it had requested. So 450 additional truckloads now are being shipped ahead to Nicaragua. The veterans convoy will collect the rest of the supplies along the way.
Bell, a former graduate teaching assistant in the English department, is the only one of the five KU students who has been to Nicaragua. He spent seven months there last year.
About two months ago, he was in the Kansas Union when Veterans representative Greg Nelson asked him to buy a button.
"I said, I'll buy one, but a lot of good it's going to do," Bell said.
"And Greg said, 'Well, if you really want to help, why don't you drive a truck?' "
Bell told some of his friends about it, and since then, they have been in touch with the peace convoy and Quest for Peace.
To join the convoy, the students had to find their own transportation. That came in the form of a '63 Chevrolet school bus donated by David Hann and Richard Kershenbaum, Lawrence residents. But the bus needed extensive repairs, Bell said, so the students needed to raise $3,500 to cover the cost of repairs, new tires, gasoline and other travel expenses.
$2,800 through donations from local merchants, KU students and merchants in the Westport area of Kansas City, Mo. Bell said the group would have to make up the difference.
Also taking the trip are David Burkland, Junction City junior; Susan Ask, Great Bend junior; Ted
Milich, Kansas City, Mo., senior; and Nancy Stoffer, Prairie Village senior.
After the group arrives in Managua, Burkland said, the students will be on their own. Each will stay for a different length of time, and each will fly back separately. The group will donate the bus to the Nicaraguans.

Union renovation on schedule
Both bookstores to be on level 3
By Linda Gaumnitz Kansan staff writer
JEFFREY KAYNE
As the Kansas Union renovation continues, students can expect to see the consolidation of the Oread Book Shop and the Textbook Department onto level three completed in August, said James Long, the Union's director.
"Right now, plans for remodeling are on schedule," Long said. "We've run into no problems with construction or the budget."
Plans for remodeling the bookstores include moving the Oread Book Shop from level four and the Textbook Department from the basement, so that all merchandise and services will be located on level two.
William Getz, Oread Book Shop supervisor, said the consolidation would be more convenient for students and employees.
"Students won't have to go between level two and level four in order to get all their books," he said. "We'll be open more hours on the weekend, whenever the main bookstore is open."
Long said that upon completion of level three, the contractors would start rebuilding level four, where student organizations would be based. He projected that level four would be finished in January, ending Phase One of the renovation.
"Phase Two will be started sometime in the future," Long said. "We haven't set a definite date."
Long said Phase Two consisted of expanding office space for Student Union Activities, administration and existing services.
"The four primary reasons for starting renovation on the Union were to build a state-of-the-art food service, to facilitate the necessary updating of the mechanical systems, to make more effective use of the space available for the bookstores and to provide space where the staff organizations and student organizations could be situated." he said.
"I think it's going very well. We've had very good cooperation from our users. I couldn't be more complimentary to the students and community for putting up with us,"

Increase in budget adds more courses
Schedule strong again, officials save
Bv Linda Gaumnitz
Kansan staff writer
Summer courses absent from last year's timetable, victims of a 3.8 percent cut in University of Kansas funds, reappeared in the summer schedule this year.
Last summer, budget cuts resulted in about 25 percent of the summer courses being dropped from the schedule.
James B. Carothers, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said that no courses had to be cut this year; in fact, all courses dropped from the 1987 schedule were reinstated.
"We are working more or less on a full budget, so we were able to offer more courses this summer," he said.
Carothers said that the courses back in the schedule were those with heavy enrollment during the academic year, such as mathematics. English, political science and language courses
Bruce A. Lindvall, director of the office of admissions, said that in
January 1987, the governor and the Legislature called for reduction in money allocated to the state universities, including a $3.17 million cut to KU's Lawrence campus, to help prevent the state from going into debt.
"The recission came when many of the colleges were already spending a lot of money," Lindvall said. "It was essentially taking money away that had already been allocated. We couldn't cut salaries, so cutting classes was another option. About half of the courses offered in the summer of 1986 were dropped."
1960 Brower R. Burchill, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that although the course selection was back, the difference it made in summer enrollment wouldn't show up until the final count is taken in August.
"Today, I've already talked to some students who haven't been able to get into the classes they wanted," Burchill said. "Even with the added classes, we aren't able to accommodate all the students who enroll."
New Jersey company proposes river plaza
Bv Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
A new riverfront retail project may break ground as early as September if the city approves the proposal.
The Chelsea Group, a New Jersey development firm, proposed the project Thursday, and the proposal has met with little opposition. The Lawrence City Commission will hold formal debate on the proposal later this month.
The proposal, named the Kansas River Plaza, is for 150,000 square feet of factory outlets and restaurants by the Kansas River. All but two of the existing buildings of the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets, would be taken down.
The two remaining buildings would be refurbished, and the new buildings would be patterned after them.
one city commissioner and a member of the Downtown Improvement Committee have said they supported the project.
Mayor Bob Schumm said the project would continue to build
Lawrence in a beneficial and unique way, would not hurt downtown retail and would clean up the riverfront area.
"It will be a tremendous asset," he said. "It doesn't displace anyone, and it gets rid of an eyesore."
Myles Schachter, a member of the DIC, said the project would bring more than 400 jobs into the area and also would pull in regional shoppers.
"There is a factory outlet I am familiar with in Saratoga, New York, that's about four hours away from New York City," Schachter said. "People from the city come there all the time."
City commission turns down retail project for downtown Fourth rejection brings economic plan to end, supporters say Mall developer sues the city
Other citizens and groups also have shown their support. The Lawrence Preservation Alliance has supported the idea because the project maintains and preserves the character of the buildings.
The East Lawrence Improvement Association has talked to Schachter about the concern of traffic access in East Lawrence, but the association is supportive of the project, he said.

Mayor Bob Schumm and commissioners Sandra Praeger and Mike Amyx opposed the plan. Commissioners Dennis Constance and Mike Rundle supported it.
Lawrence's fourth attempt in this decade to finance a downtown retail project was rejected May 24 by the City Commission by a 3-2 vote. Many involved said this would be the last attempt to finance a retail project in the downtown area for a long time.
Amyx had little comment about the vote, but said the issue would not resurface.

Bittenbender said the committee reported every month to the commission. In November, the commission asked the DIC to revise the benefit district. The DIC cut the assessment level from $8.8 million to $5.5 million.
"We were given the green light the whole way." Bittenbender said. "The only snag was the benefit district, and we redid that."
Bittenden said the DIC had no more plans for a downtown retail project.
Sommini, who opposed the project, said it was too large for its scope of development and would change the makeup of downtown Lawrence.
"It would change the ambiance of downtown, of it being quiet and small," he said.

"A public vote could get input from several thousand citizens," he said. "All we got was input from hundreds of citizens."

The suit concerns the developer's proposal to build a shopping mall at Iowa Street and Armstrong Road. It is JVJ's third attempt to develop a mall in Lawrence.

The U.S. space program must get back in space
In the recent Moscow summit, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev proposed a joint U.S.-Soviet mission to Mars. President Reagan acknowledged the offer but did not comment further.
Now, this is an interesting state of affairs. The general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party has suggested what the Planetary Society and other U.S. groups have been urging for some time now.
NASA recently released its 1989 plans, which include launching the Hubble Space Telescope and probes to Venus, Jupiter and the Sun. Also announced was the intention of NASA and of the Defense Department to use unmanned rockets to launch many of the future science projects. This is a complete reversal of the former policy, which abandoned expendable rockets in favor of the reusable shuttles. But fear of failure has prompted a return to the past.
The House has just approved a NASA budget of $11.5 billion, a slight increase over last year, that includes nearly $1 billion to finance the initial costs of building a space station, but analysts say that the budget will surely be cut to pieces in the Senate. And the bill contains no provision for a free-flying, unmanned factory, which is vital to the survival of such a station
The space shuttle program is paramount to NASA and to the U.S. government and deserves a good deal of attention and funding, especially now. But this should not be at the expense of other vital programs. Congress has seen fit to encourage repairing the shuttle problems and, at the same time, cut NASA's budget. The shuttle Discovery awaits a launch that is planned for late August but might be delayed yet again. Recurring postponements weaken the prestige of the once proud program.
If the U.S. government wants to continue space exploration and to once again get the space shuttle off the ground, it must commit itself to the cause, as former President John F. Kennedy did more than 25 years ago. Congress must take the initiative and adopt many suggestions that it has denied in the past.
Americans must encourage these actions and foster the idea that dwelling on past mistakes leaves no room for future improvement.

The recent thwarted attempts of some conservative groups to get publications that they find questionable removed from bookstores, convenience stores and schools is affirming once again that narrow-minded interest groups can't decide what everyone else can or can't read.
Again, banning books is banned
Linda Heath, the parent of a Linton, Ind., high school student, recently requested that J.D. Salinger's classic 1951 novel, "The Catcher in the Rye," not be used in the Linton-Stockton School Corp. because it is "blasphemous and a bad influence on students."
Heath said that incidents such as a suicide and an encounter with a prostitute were likely to undermine the moral conscience of students.
In a sound decision protecting other students' rights, the school's book reconsideration committee rejected Heath's request, saying, "No good purpose can come from banning a book.
"Limiting access to the book would constitute a serious infringement upon the rights of many other students," the committee said.
Heath and other parents with similar views should open their eyes. Keeping literature away from students just because the real-world situations it describes are unpleasant only stymies their education and leaves them unprepared for life outside the classroom.
In Warsaw, Ind., the availability of adult magazines and X-rated videotapes from newsstands, stores and rental centers has caused some residents to question community standards. Again, free speech was upheld as more important than the stilted, self-centered views of a minority. A grand jury concluded that the material "did not breach community standards."
Unfortunately, freedom of expression isn't protected everywhere.
In Westfield, Ind., 32 students marched last week with their teacher to a convenience store and persuaded the manager to remove a drug culture magazine from the shelves.
The United States based the Constitution on the concepts of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. For government to allow interest groups to limit the number of ideas in the public sphere, especially on religious grounds, would contradict the very freedoms it supposedly guarantees.

Presidential race not what it used to be
BY MIKE ROYKO
Slats Grobnik slouched at the bar with a sad, faraway look in his eyes. His beer had gone flat. Every few moments, he sighed.
I asked him what his problem was. "Oh, I'm just feeling nostalgic, just think about the good old days, how much them they were, and how dull it is now."
What good old days have you in mind?
"Well, there was Gary Hart and Donna Rice, the Miami reporters hiding in the bushes, the trip to Bimini on the good ship Monkey Business. Ah, those were the days, my friend."
Yes, Gary and Donna livened up the primary campaign for awhile.
"You bet. And then there was Joe Biden. What a guy. He figures his background is a little dull, so he turns himself into a Welsh coal miner. You don't get caught, would have done good in the Pennsylvania primary."
Especially if he smeared some soot on his face.
"Those were the days. And you remember Pat Robertson better," he said, and all the
pundits running around screaming:
"The table thumpers are coming"
The Bible is up.
They can be impressionable at times.
"Oh, that was fun. And then there was Dan rather trying to ambush George Bush and Bush turning around and ambushing Rather. It was one of the greatest battles in the history of the fleaweight division."
Yes, as macho-man Bush would put it. Rather found himself in deep do-do.
"Ah, what fun times those were. You're shocking all the puns, but he lobbies Belle."
The pundits can be a shockable bunch at times.
"And do you remember Illinois and how at the last minute, all the headlines were screaming that Jesse was closing the gap and might even win? And the pundits were all saying: 'Jesse can do it. Jesse can do it.'"
Yes, that caused considerable trembling in many a blue-cool bun hair.
The pundits can be a flexible lot. "Then there was Michigan; and all
"Then he lost to a nerd in a bow tie, and they all said: 'Well, maybe he can't do it.' "
of a sudden, the pundits were saying 'Jesse can do it. Jesse can do it' again."
That just shows how amazingly flexible they are.
"And then Wisconsin, with Jesse standing shoulder-to-shoulder with all those white auto workers in Kenosha, saying he was one of them? And how they cheered and said they love him."
Yes, and as one of them told me: "He's the only candidate who says what I want to hear. Too bad he's black, or I'd vote for him."
"And all the while there was Mario lurking in the background. Would Mario finally jump in? Would he be drafted? Would the party turn to him in its hour of need?"
Well, the timing seemed right. The nation is still on a pasta craze.
"And then there was New York. What a great show that was. Can you ever forget Mayor Koch? I'll tell you something, I was sure Jackson was going to win in New York. I thought he'd get the Jewish vote."
What made you think that'
"Because Koch said that a Jew would have to be crazy to vote for Jackson."
"Well, the Jews always voted for
Koch. So I figured that if anything proved they were crazy, that did "wonder"
There is some logic their
"But where'd it all go?"
Where did what go?
"The thrills, the excitement, the craziness. It's like you had a wild party going on, with lots of laughs, but all of a sudden the fun people go home — Hart, Rice, Biden, Dole, Robertson, Cuomo, Koch. And all you got left is Dukakis. Hey, turn out the lights and go to bed."
"Nah, Dukapis has a wrap. Now Jackson's just along for the ride so he can hog cameras at the convention. He says Dukapis is nice; Dukapis says he's nice. That's as exciting as watching a knitting contest."
But we can still look forward to the conventions. And then the real campaign: Bush against Dukakis for it? Don't you think that will be exciting?
"Maybe. But it's going to be a long, dull summer. Hey, do you think there's any chance Gary Hart will get back into it one more time?" I doubt it.
"I think it is." Yeah, you're probably right. He
"Yeah, you're probably peaked too soon."

Many news events don't get the coverage that they deserve
By BRIAN BARESCH
Project Censored, a group based at Sonoma (Calif.) State University, has compiled its list of the 10 most under-reported news stories of the year. These stories are as important as the other "Top Ten" but have gotten almost no mention in the mainstream press. They are, in order, top to bottom:
The media enjoy thumping themselves on the back every year about what stories were covered best during the preceding 12 months. What they keep quiet about is that importers get little or no mention in the press.
The Contra-Drug Connection. The ties of the Reagan administration and the contras to drug networks has been getting more attention lately than it had been, but the media aren't pursuing the story as hard as they should. If the U.S. government is
■ The Information Monopoly. The media are hesitant to point out that just 29 corporations control half of the country's media outlets. The largest, Gannett, owns 91 daily newspapers, including two of the country's largest, USA Today and the Detroit News. It also owns weeklies, TV and radio stations, including one in Kansas City, and Gannett Outdoor, the country's largest billboard advertising company. NBC is owned by General Electric. The Kansas City Times is owned by Capital Cities Communications, which also owns ABC. And so on.
running drugs or just dealing with drug runners, then the Just Say No campaign is pure hypocrisy, as is our manian dictator Manuel Nortea.
Unreported Nuclear Accidents. A weekly in West Germany, Der Spiegel, published secret nuclear reactor accidents reports compiled by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but the reports were ignored by all the U.S. media except a small magazine, Earth Island Journal. Der Spiegel said that "a meltdown was a real possibility" and that human error was most prevalent in North America. Let us not forget that a large number of government officials, including the secretary of state and an assistant secretary in the Energy Department, are former officials of Bechtel Group, which made a lot of its fortune building nuclear plants. Conflict of interest?
- Reagan's Mania for Secrecy. A network of Reagan executive orders, secret directives and administrative edicts have institutionalized secrecy throughout the government and put unprecedented controls on information available to the public. This means that journalists have trouble doing their jobs and that freedom of information, essential in a democracy, is being severely threatened.
■ George Bush's Role in the Iran Arms Deal. Evidence has surfaced indicating that Vice President Bush, far more than President Reagan, promoted the Iran arms initiative, took part in secret negotiations, and
Biowarfare Research in University Laboratories. The push toward biowarfare has been one of the Reagan administration's best kept secrets. Although an international agreement bans the development of germ-warfare agents, the Pentagon's research budget for infectious diseases and toxins has increased tenfold since 1981, and most of the 1986 budget of $42 million went to 24 U.S. university campuses, including the University of Kansas.
conferred upon Lt. Col Oliver North the secret powers to carry it out. The evidence suggests that Bush supported the Iran arms sales because of an economic motive: the desire to stabilize dropping oil prices. He's from Texas, remember, and has a lot of friends in that oil state.
■ Biased Press Coverage of the Arias Peace Plan. A pair of studies monitoring U.S. coverage of the Arias peace plan found significant bias. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting concluded that "Reagan's obsession with Nicaragua has turned into a media obsession," and the Media Alliance concluded that most of the newspapers it studied followed the administration's direction, rather than deciding for itself, as to what deserved coverage in Central America.
- Dumping Our Toxic Waste on the Third World. A lot of hazardous waste, such as heavy metal residues, chemical-contaminated wastes, pharmaceutical refuse and municipal sewage sludge, is being shipped
- Torture in El Salvador. A 165-page report smuggled out of a prison in El Salvador documents the routine use of at least 40 kinds of torture on political prisoners by Salvadoran police forces, who are trained and occasionally supervised by U.S. military advisers.
to Third World countries. The receiving countries may be contaminating their groundwater and crops and risking birth defects and cancer; because we import food from some of these countries, we risk getting the poisons back on our own supper tables.
Project Galileo Shuttle to Carry Lhalut Plomon. Project Galileo is the name of the project planned to launch a space probe with 49 pounds of plutonium on it. One pound of plutonium is enough to give everyone on the planet a fatal case of lung cancer; if that payload had been on the Challenger when it exploded, it would have been distributed into the atmosphere, making Chernobyl's fallout seem like a spring shower.
That's the top ten. Most were reported in small-circulation magazines or special-interest or radical publications, but some were from large papers that didn't follow up on them. It's ironic that as journalists get more corporate money behind them, they are less inclined to spend money and time to dig up stories like the contra-drug connection. Do they know nobody cares? If that's the case, we're a sad excuse for a nation. Brian Barsech is a graduate student in journalism.

Grading system queried College considering plus/minus grades
By Ken Nagel
Kansan staff writer
KU students will have until Sept. 6 to voice their opinions about a plus/minus grading system in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
On that day the College Assembly, the governing body of the college, will hear a proposal to reconsider recommitting the plus/minus system.
In March, the Assembly voted 213-165 by a mail-in ballot to approve a plus/minus grading system for the college, but seven students organized a group called Students Against the Plus/Minus Grading System.
At the May 3 assembly meeting, the group asked that the plus/minus system be reconsidered. The Assembly then put the proposal on the agenda for Sept. 6, which is its next meeting.
The proposal calls for the college to reverse its decision about the plus/minus system.
"No one knew the change was going on," said Michael O'Rourke, Lawrence junior and group treasurer.
He said the group had a petition drive in April and collected 438 signatures. The group plans to continue campaigning against the plus/minus system at the start of the fall semester by making students more aware
of the proposal.
"Most students that I have talked to have felt that plus/minus is unfair or an unnecessary system," O'Rourke said. "We want to inform students about the new system."
He said the group is afraid of the effect that the plus/minus system could have on students.
"Students may not work as hard to raise their grade from a C to a B- as they would to raise it a whole letter grade," O'Rourke said.
William Bayne, group president,
said the new system would reward
poor academic performance at the
expense of those students who work
hard to maintain high grade point
averages.
"This would affect students' professional prospects when they enter the job market," Bayne said. "That is why it is important for students to involved and to attend the next meeting."
Frances Ingemann, chairman of the committee on undergraduate studies and advising, said that unless the plus/minus system was reconsidered at the next meeting, it would take effect in the fall.
However, she said that if the system was reconsidered the college could return to the present system before the end of the fall semester.
City, police to get mediator to break contract impasse
Kansan staff writer
By Lisa Sheikh
Kanyan staff writer
Unable to agree on a work contract, the city of Lawrence and the Lawrence Police Officers Association on Tuesday signed a letter requesting the assistance of a federal mediator.
Ray Hummert, city administrative services director, said he did not know when the city would be in touch with the mediator, but it would not be
The city and the LPOA reached an impasse on May 31 after failing to come to an agreement on salaries and several other issues.
Not since 1979, when the City Commission established its formal negotiating process, have the city and the LPOA reached a settlement without an impasse. The present contract expires Jan. 1, 1989.
The LPOA is asking for a 7 percent pay raise in 1989 and 1990. The city is offering a 3 percent pay raise for each year. LPOA vice chairman Michael Opponen said He said that would not even cover the predicted inflation rate.
"The experts tell us that the cost of living is running over five percent."
Sampson said the city hypothetically offered a 5 percent pay raise for
each year, but then refused to put it on the table.
Past salary settlements for Lawrence officers have paralleled the cost of living. Sampson said.
Hummert said disputes about several issues were submitted to the Federal Mediator Service as in need of negotiation. They were a two-year salary agreement, house insurance, shift differential for the midnight shift, an additional personal day, clothing and equipment, educational reimbursement, accumulated sick 'eave and reclassification.
Reclassification means increasing salary classification for police officers, Hummert said.
Sampson said reclassification was essential for Lawrence policemen because the police department had not increased its staff size since 1972 and had been reduced by three officers since then. Meanwhile, the population of Lawrence has grown by more than 12,000, and the University of Kansas student population has grown by about 10,000. Thus, the officers have had a substantial increase in workload, Sampson said.
The average officer's salary in Lawrence is $24,680. Sampson said, including detectives, corporals and police officers.

Campaign Kansas: $76 million so far
By Michael Shunk
Kansan staff writer
Campaign Kansas is officially under way, and more than half of the fund-raiser's goal of $150 million has already been pledged.
Jordan L. Haines, the campaign's national chairman, announced the campaign's goal May 12 at a campaise-start celebration in Lawrence.
University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., and $3 million for two scholarship halls.
The largest single donation to the campaign, as well as the largest gift in the University's history, was $10 million given by Christina M. Hixson on behalf of the Lied Foundation of Omaha, Neb. The record-breaking
At that time, $76.4 million already had been pledged to the campaign, said Jim Martin, executive campaign director. The campaign is scheduled to last five years.
"Campaigns of this type usually start several months before they are announced, because it is important to keep people in mind that people will support," Martin said.
The campaign is the largest drive to private support in the history of the organization.
The money is being raised for several objectives which are determined by Chancellor Gene A. Budig and other University leaders.
So far, $12 million has been committed to a new performing arts center, $14 million for research and teaching equipment, $5 million for a biomedical research building at the
gift will be used for a new 2,200-seat Lied Center for the performing arts on the Lawrence campus.
The campaign's purpose is to enhance the money the University receives from the state, Martin said.
Members of the campaign's executive board are soliciting the larger gifts through phone calls, Martin said. The smaller gifts are being obtained through letters and phone calls made by the campaign staff.
"We need to keep our sights set at figures of $100,000 and above; however, any contribution will make a difference," Martin said.
"The state's role is to provide the things that you've got to have at a university," he said. "Our role is to provide the difference between a good and an excellent educational opportunity."

'Chemical world' is stressed
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
We live in a chemical world, and the public has a right to be informed of the presence of dangerous chemicals, several speakers said this week at the public information meeting on the Community Right-to-Know Project.
The meeting was held Monday evening at the Lawrence Public Library auditorium. About 70 people attended.
The meeting, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, was to inform the public of a recent law, known as Title III of the Federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), which states that the public has a right to know what hazardous chemicals are present in a community and what the known risks are.
"Members became aware of the various kinds and sizes of various chemicals located in the communities and throughout the state," said Anna Hebberger, president of the League of Women Voters of Kansas.
It was this awareness and the realization that the public was uninformed that led to the Community Right-to-Know project, Hebberger said. The speakers had three objectives: to promote public understanding of the elements of the federal citizens community right-to-know laws and programs, make citizens more aware of the responsibilities of the local planning committee and the role of business, industry and individual health care
providers, and to work toward public participation in discussing policy and the development of local planning committees.
"It has become apparent, painfully apparten in the past years that we live in a world of risks," said State Rep. Nancy Brown, R-Stanley. "The series of tragedies or near tragedies involving hazardous materials that have occurred throughout the world, the nation, and even in the state of Kansas have focused our attention on the critical need to develop the ability to focus on chemical and environmental issues at play."
It was in response to this need that the federal government passed Title III in 1986. This legislation made state governors responsible for planning how to respond to hazardous chemical incidents.
Brown said this responsibility included the formation of State Emergency Response Commissions and the designation of emergency planning districts, as well as the appointments of Local Emergency Planning Committees, which would receive emergency response plans for hazardous substances.
Karl Burns, community right-to-know program manager of the bureau of air quality & radiation control of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said that companies that didn't inform communities of the hazardous materials they had on their premises could face fines of up to $25,000 a day for each day they didn't report the chemicals. Among other fines, the owners also could face jail terms.
KU hopes to heighten smokestacks in fall
Construction of a smokestack to extend the two stacks on the west side of the University of Kansas power plant by about 33 feet may begin late this fall, said Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations.
An exact date for the completion of the project will not be set until the final bid for construction has been accepted. Anderson said.
The new smokestack will connect the two existing stacks and allow potentially hazardous sulfur-dioxide fumes to be emitted at a higher
The smokestacks originally were designed to emit fumes from boilers using only natural gas. But the power plant's boilers use natural gas and fuel oil, Anderson said. Fuel oil produces sulfur dioxide when burned.
Area residents had complained they could smell fumes from the plant, and some had complained of headaches caused by the emissions.
By a Kansan reporter
Anderson said this occurred when a boiler was not tuned correctly.
altitude
engine," he said. "Sometimes they are in tune and running right, and other times they're not."
Although there is no immediate health threat, the smokestacks have to be extended to meet state health standards for boilers that use fuel oil, Anderson said.
Bids for the project have been accepted, and a contractor will be chosen soon, he said.
The boilers are just like a car
Anderson estimated the project's cost at $130,000, and he said the funds would come from the facilities and operations budget.

Branch pleads not guilty
Ex-KU center to stand trial for forgery
By Carla Krause Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas basketball player Marvin Branch has been ordered to stand trial on two counts of forgery after the testimony of two witnesses at a preliminary hearing May 23.
Branch, Detroit senior, pleaded not guilty to the charges, and Douglas County District Judge James W. Paddock set the jury trial for 9 a.m. July 13.
bay. John Wooden, owner of the Wagon Wheel Cake, 507 W. 14th St., said Branch wrote two checks on the bar's account July 31 and Aug. 1 to Lesley Savier. Lawyer sophomore.
Sheriff's Department seven months later. He would not say why he waited to contact the police.
Wooden said he found the checks when he was reviewing his books last fall and noticed his first name was misspelled and his middle initial was incorrect. Wooden said he contacted his bank and the Douglas County
Sawyer was charged with two felony counts of forgery and pleaded guilty May 16 to reduced charges of theft by deception. She will be sentenced today and will repay half of the restitution as part of the plea agreement.
Branch was the starting center for the Jayhawks last season until he was declared academically ineligible in early January. Since the charges were made, he has been taken off the team roster.
Professor of dance charged for threats
By a Kansan reporter
University of Kansas assistant dance professor Scott Morrow has been charged with making terroristic threats against Janet Hamburg, associate professor of dance and the head of the KU dance program.
At a May 12 preliminary hearing, Hamburg testified that Morrow had threatened to kill her and told her that she had "basically kissed the dance program goodbye." She said Morrow had confronted her at 5 o'clock and 5:00 p. m. on May 5 as she walked from Murphy Hall to her car.
Morrow, who came to KU in 1985.
was denied tenure in the spring and was informed that he would not teach at KU in the fall. Officials from the dance department would not comment on why Morrow was denied tenure.
Morrow requested a change of venue for his Aug. 1 trial in the Douglas County District Court because, he said, he had been receiving "numerous harrassing and vicious phone calls from the citizens of Lawrence." He also said that the local media's treatment of the issue was prejudicial. The change of venue was denied.
Morrow remains free on a $2,500 reconcizance bond.

Kansas City beats A's again
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Beating the powerful Oakland Athletics twice in a row is one thing, back-to-back shutouts against a lineup that features sluggers like Canseco, Parker, Lansford and McGwire?
"It's hard to believe, but it happened." Kansas City manager John Wathan said last night after pitcher Ted Power went the distance in a 6-0 victory over the West Division leaders. The Royals won 2-0 Night night and have won six straight games.
Oakland has lost three straight, matching its longest losing streak of the season. It was the first time since June 28-29, 1980, that the Athletics had been shut out two games in a row, and the first time since Aug. 6-7, 1983, that the Royals pitched consecutive shutouts. Oakland left 11 runners on base.
"The season is peaks and valleys, whether you're talking about defense, offense or pitching," said Oakland manager Tony LaRussa. "As easily as you struggle, you turn it around. The Royals right now are snickering at our offense. Maybe at some point they'll see what it can be like."
Does LaRussa really believe the Royals are snickering?
"I would be if I'd watched these last two games," he said.
Power, 3-1, gave up nine hits and had four strikeouts and five walks in posting his second consecutive shutout. Last week, he shut out Seattle on four hits.
"Going into the game, I just wanted to win." Power said. "After about the sixth inning I really wanted the shutout. I struggled, but as it turned out, we made some great plays. I wanted it, and I got it."
After Willie Wilson singled, George Brett hit his 11th offer Curt Young, 4-3, in the first inning. On Young's next delivery, Danny Tartabull connected for his 12th homer of the season.
Wilson walked and stole second in the third and came home on Tartabull's RBI single.
gave the Royals a 5-0 lead in the sixth. Then Pat Tabler walked, stole second and scored on a single by Quirk.
In other American League action last night, Harold Bainen's homer and Mike Woodard's two-run triple highlighted a seven-seven inning as the White Sox defeated Minnesota 10-8 in Chicago.
Hames hit the first pitch off reliever Keith Atherton, 4-3, for his seventh homer of the year. Dan Pasqua, who had homered earlier, hit an RBI single to put Chicago ahead 5-4. Ozzie Guillen had a two-run single, Woodard tripled in two more and Gary Redus hailed a sacrifice fly as the White Sox enjoyed their biggest ingestion of the season.
Pitchers Chuck Finley and Bryan Harvey combined on a five-hitter and Brian Downing homered in the sixth as California blanked Texas 1-0 in Arlington.

Pistons shock Lakers in Game One
Dantlev, Thomas and bench players help Detroit gain key road victory
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Adrian Dantley scored 22 of his 34 points in the second half and Isaiah Thomas led a 35-17 second-quarter run that lifted the Detroit Pistons to a 105-93 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the opener of the NBA finals last night.
The Lakers, who averaged 115 points and 54.5 percent shooting while winning nine of their first 10 playoff games at home, hit 34 percent of their shots while falling behind 57-40 at halftime, their biggest midway deficit of the season.
Dantley, making the first championship appearance in his 12-year NBA career, then scored 10 points in the third period and 12 in the fourth, helping the Pistons stay in front.
Thomas scored 19 points and the Detroit bench, led by Vinnie Johnson
and James Edwards, outscored Los Angeles' reserves 32-4, including 18-0 in the first half.
Magic Johnson led Los Angeles with 28 points. Byron Scott added 25 and James Worthy had 19 for the Lakers, who must win Game 2 at the Forum Thursday night to avoid becoming the first team in NBA history to lose the first two games of the finals at home.
The Lakers, seeking to become the first team to repeat as NBA champion since the Boston Celtics in 1969, led 23-22 in the first minute of the second period before a 16-5 Pistons spurt, capped by a 3-pointer by Thomas, put them ahead 38-28 with 4:56 left in the period.
Two minutes later, Dantley hit two fast-break layups for a 46-34 advantage, and Thomas made it 51-38 with a three-point play.
After Scott closed the gap to 51-40 with 25 seconds left, Bill Laimbeer hit a 3-pointer and Thomas stole the inbounds pass and hit another long-distance shot at the buzzer.
The Lakers got to within 65-57 with 5:23 left in the third quarter. But Dantley and Vinnie Johnson, who had seven points in the last 2:39 of the third period, helped the Pistons increase the margin to 80-68 after three quarters.
Dantley scored eight points in a 2:18 span to give the Pistons their largest lead, 94-75, with 5:30 left. Magic Johnson then hit two 3-pointers to lead a 16-4 run that made it 98-91 with 1:23 remaining.
But five consecutive free throws by the Pistons put the game out of reach.
Los Angeles has won four titles in this decade — in 1980, 1982, 1985 and
In their four previous championships, the Lakers have never lost more than two games before the final round. This year, they were defeated six times, three each by Utah and Dallas in seven-game series.
While Los Angeles has been in the final seven of the last nine years, the Pistons are making their first appearance in the championship series since moving to Detroit from Fort Wayne. Ind., in 1957.
Derrout, which has won five of its last six road games in the playoffs this year, hit its first seven shots and led 14-4 before Lambeir missed at the 7:40 mark of the first quarter.
The two teams met twice earlier in the postseason, with the Lakers winning the first round of the Western Division playoffs in 1961 and 1962.
Jayhawk athletes wrap up seasons
Kansan sportswriter
By Jill M. John
Several Kansas athletes stayed busy long after finals were over by competing in postseason play last month and into last weekend.
The Kansas men's tennis team highlighted KU athletics in May by capturing its second straight Big Eight title this spring.
The last time a Kansas tennis team repeated as conference champions was in 1964 and 1965. The Jayhawks, with a 15-9 record, qualified for the NCAA tournament last season. University of California at Berkley 5-2 in the first round in Athens, Georgia.
Freshman John Falbo also qualified for the NCAA tournament singles competition, but was eliminated in the first round by Buff Farrow, a Wichita native, of UCLA. The doubles pair of Falbo and sophomore Craig Wildey was eliminated in the NCAA first round by California at Berkley.
Coach Scott Perelman was pleased with the team's conference play, but he said that better performances at the NCAA tournament would be a goal for next year.
"I think being able to win two consecutive conference championships has established us as a dominant team in the region," Perelman said.
The women's tennis team placed third in the conference and finished with a 20-5 record. Junior Jeanette Jonsson won the Big Eight number two singles title for the Jawhaws.
Senior Ann O'Connor, an All-American high-jumper last year, became the first Kansas women to be named All-American in two separate events by placing seventh in this year's heptathlon.
Two Kansas women earned All-American status along with putting their names into the Kansas record books with unusual firsts.
Five members of Kansas' men and women's track teams earned All-American honors at last week's NCAA meet.
Sophomore Yolanda Taylor
became Kansas' first women's triple jump All-American. She placed eighth in the nation.
Three members of the men's track team also earned All-American honors last weekend.
Senior Craig Branstrom placed sixth in the decathlon, sophomore Vince Labesky placed seventh in the javelin and senior Scott Huffman tied for seventh in the pole vault.
At the NCAA Golf Tournament, junior John Sinovic tied for 19th in the country, earning All-American honors. Sinovic became the first Kansas golfer in over 20 years to achieve a status, Coach Ross Roadall said.
The Kansas softball team finished fourth in the Big Eight with a 33-32 record and placed three players on the All-Big Eight secondteam
Senior shortstop Cherie Wickham, sophomore pitcher Roanna Brazier and freshman catcher Tammy Cook were all named to the league team.
"We started six freshmen most of the time and I think we did well for as young as we were," coach Kalum Haack said. "Next year we won't play like freshmen."
Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham did not think his team played to the level it was hoping to, but he did think its late-season improvement would help build a quality program in the future.
The Jayhawks finished last in the Big Eight with a 25-34 record.
The Jayhawks had have two members gain Big Eight honors with junior Steve Dowling being on the All-Big Eight second-team and junior Tom Buchanan earning honorable mention.
Along with all the honors Kansas athletics received last month, the Kansas athletic department did one of its top administrators.
Associate Athletic Director Gary Hunter announced he will assume the position of athletic director at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Hunter takes over for the Big Sky Conference school on July 1.
SHOOTING CIRCLES
Golfers try to sink their putts at the Chernobyl hole at the Moosehine Golf Tournament. The tournament was held Saturday night at the Orchards Executive Golf Course.
Night golfers benefit youth home
By Jill M. John
Kansan sportswriter
Chernobyl initiates thoughts of radiation and hazardous, glowing material to most people's minds.
These thoughts appeared Saturday night as red, green and purple illuminous rings around people's necks which were all that could be seen as people walked in the distance toward small fluorescent spheres.
But, in this case, Chernobyl was the only hole at the Orchidia Excelsior.
The special effects were for the nighttime, glow-in-the-dark golf tournament held to benefit the Achievement Place Boys Home of Lawrenc
Each hole of the Moonshine Golf Tournament had a different theme and objective for the 9-hole philanthropy tournament.
The tournament raised about $2,000 for the youth home.
Fifty players paid $125 each to enter the tournament. Prizes were awarded for the longest drive, the shortest drive, and the longest patt at various holes.
Unlike typical golfers, Saturday's
contestants were not merely striving for the lowest score. Instead, the players seemed to enjoy a good time more than winning.
That good time also meant that the Achievement Place Boys Home of Lawrence would get a new coat of paint and some needed remodeling, said Montrose Wolf, an original supporter of the youth home.
The home is for teenagers who have been abused, abandoned, neglected or have criminal records.
The nighttime tournament, featuring golfers using glow-in-the-dark balls, was the first fund-raiser for the boys' home in 15 years. It was the idea of Achievement Place committee chairman, Sean Williams.
"I was really pleased," Williams said. "It was the first one, and I'm really happy we had the support and involvement that we did."
Achievement Place was developed in the late 1960s by Judge Charles Rankin who saw the need for a strong home environment for troubled kids.
There are now two homes in
Lawrence, one for boys and one for girls. Both care for six to eight youths at a time.
Each home has a married couple who acts as parents for the adolescents, said house parent Nancy Garrett.
"The goal of the program is different depending on the child," Garrett said. "Sometimes the child is able to return home and other times that is not possible. We want all of our kids to be successful in the community."
Players, spectators and even the neighbors living next to the course got into the spirit of the event.
"I hit really well and I don't know why," said golfer Ray Bramlate, who won the prize for the longest put. "I guess because I couldn't see my ball. I hit a lot of holes that I wouldn't hit in the daylight."
A few neighbors brought their lawnchairs out and watched from the edge of the course.
"I think this is great," said Dick Darnell. "We're gonna call up the clubhouse in a minute and ask for a i.a.m. tee time."
Track coach puts expertise to work for the Olympics
By Tom Stinson
Kansan sports editor
A 10-year-old's interpretation of the pole vault is posted on a wall behind Rick Attig's desk. The drawing, done by Attig's son, consists of a stickman-pole vaulter's progressive movements down a runway and over a bar.
Attig is proud of the drawing, but the 1988 Olympic pole vault coach's interpretation relies more on physics and the laws of motion.
A basic description, but fairly accurate.
The scientific approach to pole vaulting has been successful for the Kansas assistant track coach. In his fourth year at KU, he has built what may be the best collegiate pole vaulting squad ever.
this year, Kansas had three All-american vaulters — senior Scott Huffman and sophomore Pat Manson at 18 feet, 6½ inches and junior Chris Bohanam at 18 feet, 3¾ inches along with other seniors. In senior Lance Adams at 17 feet, 6½ inches and junior Cedric Fullard at 17 feet.
Before coming to Kansas, at Raytown (Mo.) South High School, Attig also built possibly the best high school pole vaulting squad ever with
two 17-foot vaulters and two 16-foot vaulters.
"Rick is definitely one of the top pole vault coaches in the country," said Guy Kochel, United States vertical jumps chairman and the 1984 Olympic pole vault coach. "He is a technician.
"For the (Olympic) position, I was looking for a person with a tremendous amount of interest in pole vaulting and a tremendous amount of knowledge of the pole vault and also, someone who would give time with the pole vault to make it a better sport for the United States. I felt Rick had all three."
"My approach was that I wanted to learn everything I could about the laws of motion, the physics of the event," Attig said, "then make my own observations. I really had to think that way."
Attig credits his success to the fact that he developed his own theory without referring to books on the pole vault.
While studying the pole vault, Attig frequently uses his master's degree in biomechanics from Southwest Missouri State.
Attig said he felt fortunate to have started coaching at the junior high level and to have gained the experience from zero to close to 19 feet.
"Sometimes when you take something from a book, you take it for granted, but it's wrong. A lot of
things get handed down through the years. We get a lot of crazy things handed down from coaches."
"When you really are doing something you enjoy, it makes it easy to get excited and to put the time in to learn as much as you can."
Adams, who was coached at Raytown South by Attig, said every year in high school Attig had researched a new aspect of the vault. Because of that, the workouts changed yearly but for the better, Adams said.
"Anytime you had a question, he'd go home and spend days on it." Adams said. "Then he'd come back and give you the answer. Now, he's broken the event down so far, he can just come up with the answer right away."
After years of research, Attig's theory is that 90 percent of a pole vaulter's potential is accomplished on the ground during the approach
"What a vaulter does on the ground is 90 percent of the vault." Attig said. "A 10-stride long jump is the best test for a vaulter, along with a speed *at*
A good long jumper has the capability of a good pole vault."
The emphasis of the takeoff is trying to convert the approach speed upward with a minimal loss of velocity. Attig said.
The angle of takeoff of a vaulter is the key to vaulting excellence, Attig said. The takeoff angle is the angle at which a vaulter leaves the ground, much like a long jumper.
A higher takeoff angle means a pole works less for a vaulter, which is the desired result, Attig said. With a low takeoff angle, a vaulter has to take off closer to the pit forcing a needed lift from the pole. With a high takeoff angle, a vaulter's takeoff point can be moved back.
Attig said that a coach needs to realize the interrelationship of the takeoff, the takeoff point, the angle of the pole and the approach speed.
"The takeoff, along with the speed of the takeoff, and the angle of the pole determine the capability of a vaulter." Atttg said. "These aspects really make a vault. So, if a vaulter is ever going to reach his potential, you have to coach these angles.
Consequently, Kansas vaulters spend hours on their ground work.
Huffman is probably Attig's best example of a vaulter reaching his potential after his approach and takeoff was refined.
away with a low takeoff angle with a lot of speed, but he won't reach his potential."
"If they have poor takeoff angles, they're going to be limited," Attig said. "It's not easy to work on. It's easy to forget it. A vaulter can get
Before Attig came to Kansas, Huffman's best vault was 16 feet, 6 inches during his red-shirt衣 as a freshman. At Quinter High School, Huffman was a 14-foot, 5-inch vaulter.
That spring, Huffman set the national freshman record at 18 feet, $ _{5/4} $ inches.
After his red-shirt year, Huffman worked on his sprint mechanics and takeoff along with an adjustment to his plant.
Most vaulters' poor habits are caused from learning the takeoff incorrectly as beginners, Attig said. That is why he is trying to start an Olympic beginners camp this summer to teach the United States' future pole vaulters.
"My idea of speed was moving my feet fast, in little steps with my knees low," Huffman, a three-time All-America and two-time Big Eight champion, said. "He got me working on good knee length and increasing my stride which increased my speed."
"We (the United States) don't have a system, and that's a problem," Attig said. "I'd like to get some kind of system going.
He already has two summer pole vault camps at Kansas and the Olympic beginners camp is in question because of NCAA regulations.
"We have to take a grass roots approach and we haven't been doing that," he said. "We're putting our money into the elite athletes and forgetting the kids down the line.
"My remedy is to not worry so much about the elite athletes. We need to be concerned abut those picking up the event. We need to be thinking about the kids vaulting in the 1996 Olympics or in 2000."
Putting the future aside, Manson is just pleased to have Attig coaching the uumps at Kansas.

"I can't picture a coach being any better," the Aurora, Colo., native said. "He's one of the guys. He'll go on a limb for us. With his biomechanic knowledge, I can't image his technical training be any better.
"So, I feel we have all our bases covered with him. I can't image a better coach."

Ueberroth resolves Billy vs. umps war
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth stepped into the f bet between Billy Martin and the umpires yesterday, and within hours the Yankees manager apologized, the umpires withdrew their ejection threats and Martin returned to the field.
Ubererboth said he told the parties to "stop it and stop it now," and asked both sides to apologize.
However, the umpires did not issue an apology, and New York owner George Steinbrenner said, "I think we got taken on this. He (Martin) did what he was asked to do and they did not. But if it accomplishes the purpose, that's OK, as long they don't pursue it any further."
Ueberroth interceded after Martin threatened to sue the umpires.
Now that it's escalated into talks of lawsuits being brought and namecalling "liars, jerks," that sort of thing — I've talked with both sides and told them to stop it and stop it now," Ueberroth said. "I think all managers need to be treated the same on the field of play. At the same time, we will not tolerate abuse of umpires. We have to have the game played equal."
The dispute between Martin and umpires turned into a full-scale war of words during the weekend.
In a statement released by the Yankees before last night's game with Boston, Martin said he was sorry for the incident in Oakland on May 30 when he kicked at and threw dirt on umpire Dale Scott. He received a three-game suspension and a $1,000 fine.
"I want to apologize for the incident that took place in Oakland," he said.
At about 7.15 p.m. last night, the umpires' association released a statement saying, "... due to Billy Martin's apology and his promise of good behavior, Billy will be permitted to go on the playing field to question umpires.
"Very significant in this decision was the commitment of the Commissioner and (AL President) Bobby Brown to closely monitor the situation during the remainder of the season." the statement read.
Steinbrenner said he told the commissioner he was not happy with the way things turned out.
"I don't think that it's quite acceptable to Billy," he said. "This is not the understanding I had with the commissioner of baseball."
Martin, under threat of instant ejection for arguing any call, stuck to his word and stayed off the field Monday night. But following the game, Martin asserted his actions would change.
"I'll be out on the field all day," Martin said. "Every time I want to go out I will go on the field and I will argue and do everything a manager is supposed to do. I defy (uimpires' general counsel) Richie Phillips to stop me."
Martin popped out of the dugout in the top of the first inning last night to talk with pitcher Charles Hudson and got a standing ovation. He tipped his cap to the crowd on the way back.
In the bottom of the first, Martin again came on the field to talk with home plate umpire Mark Johnson about whether a gold chain on pitcher Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd's neck was interfering with the batters.

Center to be built by Topeka firm
By Linda Gaumnitz
Kansas staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas accepted an $8.94 million bid for the general construction of a new Human Development Center, James E. Modig, director of the office of facilities planning, said yesterday.
The low bid, submitted by the Dahlstrom and Ferrell Construction Company, Inc. of Topeka, was one of six base bids offered to the University when bidding began May 18.
A base bid is a bid for construction of the building without such things as heating and utility construction.
"We were basically trying to buy the most for the money available," Modig said. "Taking the base bid is kind of like buying the house, and furnishing it later."
The actual cost of the center is about $9.5 million, which includes the base bid and subcontracts, Modig said.
The capital available for construction of the four-story, 127,000-square-foot building consisted of $9 million in federal grant money and $3 million in University funds.
"Any money left after the cost of construction will be used for miscellaneous expenses, such as architect fees and the costs of installation."
Construction would begin in July, he said, and be completed within two years. Preliminary preparations already have started on the construction.
addition outside the east wing of Haworth Hall on the north side of Sunnyside Avenue. The new building will connect with Haworth through an enclosed walkway on ground level.
Dean Ferrell, project contractor,
said his company would build an
"The need to build such a center arose out of space demands." Modig said. "Right now, the human-development faculty is spread out all over campus. They wanted to consolidate the various branches into one space."
The new development center will house research, clinical and teaching facilities for the Bureau of Child Research, the Institute for Life Span Studies, and the departments of Human Development and Family Life and Special Education.

"It's probably time to look at the parking situation in a more comprehensive manner." Praeger said.
This situation may change, though, if Praeger's plans for two-hour parking meters are realized.
The proposal, originated by Commissioner Sandra Praeger, calls for replacing the existing one-hour meters with two-hour meters.
The Lawrence City Commission last night deferred action for a month on a proposal to install new parking meters downtown along Massachusetts Street until the Downtown Lawrence Association and a consultant can research potential problems.

time shopping downtown often are greeted by a little yellow ticket upon returning to their cars.
Praeger said that about two weeks ago she decided that two-hour parking meters on Massachusetts Street would be a fairly inexpensive way to make downtown shopping easier.
The DLA agrees that the time on parking meters should be extended, Praeger said. But they disagree on the amount of time. The DLA has suggested having 90-minute parking meters.
Praeger said changing the parking meters would cost about $6,000.
The DLA also is looking into the problem of employee parking in the downtown area, Praeger said.
Now, there are several free two-hour parking lots downtown and metered parking spaces of various times along the side streets.

Brown resigns basketball post to join Spurs
San Antonio's lucrative offer lures Jayhawk coach to NBA
By Tom Stinson
Kansan sports editor
Everything's bigger in Texas. Most notably for Kansas Jayhawk basketball fans, NBA coaching contracts.
A lucrative, "once-in-a-lifetime" offer made to Kansas coach Larry Brown by the San Antonio Spurs caused him to pack his up 1988 national championship ring, his yellow ties and his new red BMW and head on down to the Lone Star State.
Brown, who compiled a 135-44 record along with two Final Four appearances at Kansas, accepted the offer of $2.5 million over five years on Monday after resigning from the Kansas position.
Brown's annual salary of $700,000 will make him the highest-paid NBA coach.
See related story p. 13.
"I think that money was a significant factor." Kansas athletic director Bob Frederick said. "But it's hard sometimes for an educational institution to compete with a private concern in an NBA franchise."
Brown's yearly income at Kansas was estimated at $300,000, which included his summer camp and a shoe contract.
The contract with the Spurs also allowed Brown to bring his assistants, Ed Manning, Alvin Gentry and R.C. Burford, to San Antonio as well as naming, or possibly being, the team's general manager.
It also started a week of speculation over who would become the school's seventh basketball coach.
Brown's decision ended a week of speculation, during which off-the-record sources from around the country confirmed his move, that Kansas would be searching for a new coach.
Frederick said affirmative-action guidelines went into effect on Monday, setting the deadline for applications as next Monday, and a new coach will be hired no earlier than June 27.
A source close to the Kansas athletic department said Wichita State coach Eddie Fogler, Purdue coach Gene Keady, Ohio State coach Gary Williams and former Kansas assistant coach Bob Hill were possible candidates.
In two seasons at Wichita State, Fogler has compiled a 42-21 record and guided the Shockers to the NCAA Tournament both years.
Keady, a Kansas State graduate and a former coach of Hutchinson Community College, has taken Purdue to six straight NCAA Tournaments and has a 178-69 record with the Rollermakers.
Hill, an assistant coach under both Brown and his predecessor, Ted Owens, recently signed a three-year contract with an Italian team. He served as the coach of the Topeka Sizzlers of the Continental Basketball Association last year.
"I think that our job will be able to attract somebody (with a proven record)." Frederick said Monday.
I think that money was a significant factor. But it's hard sometimes for an educational institution to compete with a private concern in an NBA franchise.'
— Bob Frederick Kansas athletic director
"There are a number of things that are important. A proven record of success is obviously important. The ability to relate to a number of different constituent groups, particularly the students, I think is important in this case, because obviously Larry did a great deal in attracting record interest from the students on the campus."
Frederick was to announce a search committee today.
The committee of about eight will include athletic corporation members and a faculty, student and player representative, an athletic department official said.
"Our head basketball position is one of the most attractive collegiate jobs in America," a statement from Chancellor Gene A. Budig said. "We are in a place to attract another exceptional coach, and that is exactly what we'll do."
We'll Miss You
LARRY
"I don't think I could have turned something like that down myself," Indiana transfer Ricky Calloway said. "I can understand where he's coming from.
Most of the Kansas players have expressed both disappointment and happiness in Brown's decision, but none of them said they would consider transferring because of the coaching change.
"I'm not upset. I'm a little disappointed. When I first came here, the reason was that I wanted to play for Coach Brown. But since I've been here, I've met some pretty nice people, gotten to know some of my professors in summer school and been accepted by my new teammates. I'm going to stay the summer and see who they bring in."
"I hope he'll be open and look at everyone the same way," guard Scooter Barry said. "I hope he'll be someone who knows people and builds a good off-court relationship with his players.
Forward Milt Newton said. "As far as I know, no one is leaving. We love KU. There's no reason for us to leave."
Some of the players expressed interest in a new coach's style of play, but none of them mentioned any favorites for the job.
"I think Ricky (Calloway) said it best in the meeting. He said, "The coaching staff would change next season, but the locker room will be the same."
A sign at 1625 Kasold Drive reflects the feelings of disappointed Brown, Travis Lippert, 15, his brother Darren, 11, and Elston Kassas basketball fans over the departure of basketball coach Larry 15, put the sign in the Lipperts' front yard Monday evening.
2 frats charged for fire code violations
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Prosecutor last week filed charges against the Triangle fraternity for violations of the city fire code.
Tom Mulinazzi, chapter adviser, was served the violation papers. Charges for code violations must be filed against the property owner involved, said Fire Marshal Rich Barr. The fraternity's corporation board owns the house, but because papers must be served on an individual, Mulinazzi has been named.
At a preliminary hearing June 7, Mulinazzi pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial date of Aug 19 has been set.
Mulinazzi was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Charges also have been filed and a July 22 trial date has been set for Paul Horvath, landlord of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity during 1987-88.
"The difference between Phi Kappa Tau and the rest of them is that their fraternity is a rental, and the landlord has been cited," said Barr.
The Phi Kappa Tau fraternity will not be living in Horvath's rental house at 893 Mississippi St. in the fall. The fraternity has bought a house at 1232 Ohio St., where sprinkler and alarm systems are being installed, said Matt Brisch, chapter president.
housing corporation board," said Brisch. "It should be all ready by fall."
"The fire department has been working with our
Barr said that he had waited through the team with prospective corporation board members and had made verbal recommendations for fire code compliance before it was bought.
All 37 active greek houses at the University of Kansas have been included in a project for fire code compliance, said Barr.
The Lawrence Fire Department inspected all the houses last summer and required them to submit acceptable plans of compliance to Barr by January. The fire department has reached agreement or is negotiating with all of the sororities and all but five of the fraternities.
Flag Day ruined:
Thief steals flag
Summer enrollment up 4.4 percent; WSU, ESU also see first-day jumps
PARSONS, Kan. (AP) — A Parsons business was flagship on Flag Day after a thief shinned up the flag pole to cut down Old Glory.
It was the second time in several months that a thief has stolen the flags at Heck and Wicker. Last fall, someone took the company and Kansas state flags from the business, said Steve Caldwell, director of planning.
"It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you can't even display the American flag without it being stolen," said Caldwell.
By a Kansan reporter
Summer enrollment at KU is 4.4 percent higher than last year, according to a report released by the department of educational services.
First-day figures show that 8,341 students were enrolled at the University of Kansas on June 7. Last year, the enrollment was 7,972 students.
KU experienced a drop in summer enrollment last year because of budget cuts. The University had to
offer fewer classes, and fewer students were able to enroll.
Money was reinstated earlier this year, and the University was able to offer a full summer session.
"There were no surprises." Chancellor Gene A. Budig said. "With the reinstatement of the budget cuts, the University is better able to meet the student needs."
Enrollment at the University of Kansas Medical Center dropped by 212.
Other schools in Kansas also have experienced an increase in their summer enrollments.
Wichita State University had a 2.8 percent increase, said Terri Haddock, assistant executive director of university communications.
Emporia State University experienced an increase of 101 students, said Kim Trout, secretary for university relations.
Enrollment figures for Kansas State University were not available.

Convoy delayed at Mexican border
By Lisa Sheikh
Kansan staff writer
The U.S. Veterans Peace Convoy of food and medical supplies for Nicaragua is making a second attempt today to cross the Mexican border after a weeklong delay in Laredo, Texas.
A bus with several University of Kansas students, who initially were part of the 100-member convoy, are believed to have left the convoy in Austin, Texas, and driven on to Nicaragua.
The convoy, which assembled from around the country, was halted at the Mexican border on June 8 by officials who said the mission violated the Nicaraguan trade embargo.
Tom Hansen, convoy member from Washington, D.C., said the students had grown impatient with the convoy's proceedings and decided to strike out on their own.
"My understanding is that they're somewhere in Central America, but I really don't know," he said.
David Higgerson, supervisory customs inspector at the border station in Laredo, said a bus headed for Nicaragua had gone through sometime last week, but he could not confirm that it was the student's bus.
Wayne Cogswell convoy member
"They ran one through just to see if we would stop them, and we didn't. It was too hard."
Higgerson said that the customs officials were not empowered to stop

In present case When the 41-vehicle convoy arrived in Laredo last week, it was informed by U.S. customs officials that it could take the supplies to Nicaragua, but that the trucks and buses carrying the supplies must be returned to the United States.

"We will not sign the document that they want us to sign," he said.
"We will approach the border at 9
Wayne Cogswell, convoy member from Maryland, said that complying with the demands of the trade embargo would be a step backward in U.S. aid to Nicaragua and, therefore, was out of the question.
Cogswell said that, in the past, the U.S. Treasury Department had given a much more liberal definition to the trade embargo, allowing vehicles to be left in Nicaragua. He said he did not know why the government suddenly was taking a more restrictive stance.
a. m. (today) and prepare to suffer the consequences."
But Charles Conroy, a U.S. Customs spokesman, said this was customary procedure. He said he had not seen the present regulations as a stricter interpretation of the embargo.
In order for the convoy to cross the border, Conroy said, members would need to do three things. First, they must provide identification for themselves as well as for the vehicles they were driving. Second, they must agree to return the trucks and buses to the United States within 30 days of their arrival in Nicaragua. Third, they must acknowledge that they were aware of the penalties for violating the Nicaraguan trade control regulations, which could be up to a $50,000 fine and ten years in prison, he said.
Conroy said the requirements were in accordance with regulations administered by the Foreign Assets Control of the Treasury Department and dictated by U.S. foreign policy.

Help arrives for debtors
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
A new service in Lawrence allows people with serious debt problems to pay their bills, manage a budget and still meet daily living expenses.
Consumer Credit Counseling Service, a division of Housing and Credit Counseling of Topeka, opened in Lawrence on June 2. It is a non-profit organization set up as an alternative to bankruptcy for people who are having financial difficulties and are trying to pay their debts.
"Our clients generally fall into two groups," said Karen Hiller, director of the service. "The first group has gotten sucked into using credit cards and has a high-dollar credit debt. The other group has been living on the edge all along, and something such as an injury or layoff has pushed them over."
Consumer Affairs Association, 819 Vermont St., offered credit counseling in the 1970s, said Camille Dalager, its director. It was discontinued because it ran out of money. The service was brought back to Lawrence through CCCS because lawyers and financial planners, such as Lawrence's Harold Pearce, kept getting calls from people asking for help in paying their bills.
"I am a financial planner," said Pearce. "I give counseling on how to invest money, but people would see my name in the yellow pages and call."
Pearce searched for a service to refer those calls to. After realizing one was no longer available in
Lawrence, he and others, such as Dalager, lobbied for CCCs to come to Lawrencе and handle the demand for debt-counseling services.
In Topeka, about 40 percent of the people who have gone to CCCS for budget counseling have been placed in a debt-repayment program. In the program, a counselor meets with the debtor, puts him on a budget and sets aside money for living expenses. The client signs a contract promising to pay the rest of his income to CCCS, which then will distribute the money among his creditors.
If a debtor has credit cards, he must agree to relinquish them to keep from incurring any other debts.
The creditors, in turn, must agree not to call the debtor at home or at work, Hiller said. They also must agree not to garnishe wages, which may not leave the debtor money to pay his bills.
There are no second chances with CCCS. If the debtor fails to make his repayment once, the agency withdraws from the case. Then the debtor is vulnerable to any collection action that creditors might take.
The program is in a one-year trial in Lawrence. Its success will depend on the need for the service and creditors' willingness to cooperate.
"We want to make the service work in Lawrence," said Hiller. "Right now we only have appointments available on Thursday, but we hope to expand as the need increases.
"We're not talking overnight solutions. We're talking big. Budgets are
super tools that people need to get control of."
Since its inception in Topeka three years ago, the agency says it has returned more than $800,000 to creditors.
Although the average client at CCCS is in his 30s and has children, students often fall into financial difficulties because they have had to borrow money to attend school. When they graduate, they expect to find a job that will cover their loans as well as living expenses, Hiller said.
Often they have just bought a new car or have moved to a nicer apartment, and then the credit-card bills start coming in, and the money to pay isn't there.
This is where CCCS can help someone who is just starting out and doesn't want to ruin his credit.
The service is open to anyone. Appointments are available Thursdays through the Consumer Affairs Association. Debtors must pay a one-time fee of $20, which is used for administrative costs. Pearce has donated some office space at 706 Massachusetts St. for the program to use until it can get its own office.
Although the agency does receive some financing from the United Way, it asks the businesses that receive repayment through the program to donate 15 percent of the money they recover. Most agree because this is less expensive than lawyers' fees and court costs. Also, this donation is tax-deductible as a contribution or as a cost of collection. Hiller said.

Grad's death prompts journalism scholarship
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
Sue Parell, a 1978 KU graduate and co-anchor at television station WTOL in Toledo, Ohio, considered herself a reporter first. Now, a scholarship in her memory will aid in the education of future journalists.
Parcell died June 8 of a brain aneurysm. She was 31.
"Sue Parcell was a humanitarian," said Patr Spunk, news photographer for WTOL.
in memory of her interest in humanity,her family and the University of Kansas have established a scholarship in her name.
The scholarship will go to a woman who wants to pursue a career in broadcast journalism, said Mary Wallace, assistant dean of journalism. The requirements and terms of the scholarship have not been established.
After graduation, Parcell spent nearly 10 years working at television station WDAF in Kansas City, Mo.
Howard Bernstein, a producer at WDAF, described her as the personification of professionalism with the ability to handle any assignment.
While on assignment in China, she became ill with viral gastroenteritis and viral encephalitis. She was in China to check on the Toledo Zoo's progress in getting on loan two giant pandas from China.
In November 1987, Parcell joined WTL as co-anchor.
She returned to Toledo to recuperate. It was not known whether the diseases contributed to her death, James Patrick in a news release.
Contributions to the fund are coming from Parcell's family, WDAF, WTOL and several viewers in the Toledo area. Cosmos Broadcasting, parent company of WTOL, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the employer of Parcell's father, also will contribute.
The family requests that memorials be sent to the Sue Parcell Scholarship Fund in care of the School of Journalism.
Lawrence City Band begins park concert season tonight
By a Kansan reporter
The Lawrence City Band will sound off with its first concert of the summer season at 8 p.m. today in the bandstand of South Park.
The concerts traditionally are conducted by Bill Kelly, but the first two concerts this summer will be conducted by Robert Foster, the University of Kansas' director of bands. He has conducted the band on many occasions, and he has played trumpet in the band.
"When Bill needs me to help, I'm happy to help." Foster said. "It's about a 50-piece band, made up of a real neat cross section of the communal

The concerts will be held every Wednesday at 8 p.m. through July 27, said Fred DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
Foster said the Lawrence Band could trace its history to the first musical group in the Kansas Territory, a band formed in Lawrence in 1854.
The series is co-sponsored by Lawrence Parks and Recreation and Local 512 of the Musician's Union.

Campus post office may change service
Rv Michael Shunk
Kansan staff writer
Letter carriers have delivered through snow, rain, heat or gloom of night, but for the branch of the U.S. Postal Service in the basement of Strong Hall, federal budget cuts have proven to be the most challenging obstacle. The station is likely to shut down within the next three months.
"The federal budget cuts forced us to look at every service and determine if it is going in the direction that we originally intended," said William P. Reynolds, Lawrence postmaster.
That does not mean that the University would be without postal services. Reynolds said that he still would provide postal service on campus.
"We're not talking about taking retail postal services away from campus, we're talking about differing ways of providing services," he said.
Some of the alternative methods he mentioned were stamp-vending machines and more collection boxes. However, Reynolds said that his office was not proposing these things to customers for the services provided in Strong.
4. realize that the post office provides important services on campus that cannot be carried out by vending machines," he said. "We hope that we can continue to provide the same types of services that we are providing now."
- William P. Reynolds
Lawrence postmaster
I realize that the post office provides important services on campus that cannot be carried out by vending machines. We hope that we can continue to provide the same types of services that we are providing now.'
Reynolds said that it was possible the office in Strong would be replaced by a contract station, which is an individually managed post office contracted out by the Lawrence office. That would be similar to the postal stations in grocery stores.
"A contract station would be the best alternative." Reynolds said.
He said that a time schedule for the change was still uncertain, but that he was working with people in the chancellor's office to clear up the situation as soon as possible.
"We're not just sure at this point about what is going to happen," he said. "We'd like to have something done before the fall semester."
Reynolds said removing all postal services from campus was not his intention.
"We get a lot of our business from the University," he said.
First phase of Sixth Street construction already started
By a Kansan reporter
Patience
That is what University of Kansas students and local residents must have if they plan to travel on Sixth Street during the next several months, said assistant city manager Mike Wildden.
"There is going to be dust, dirt and heavy enouff." he said.
Tony Marianue, department construction engineer, said there would be two phases of construction on Sixth Street.
The Kansas Department of Transportation began widening Sixth Street from Iowa Street to Monterey Way on Monday.
Phase One will close Sixth Street to traffic between Monterey Way and Sierra Drive, and between Fireside Court and Lawrence Avenue for
"These two areas are to be completely redone in Phase One, but local traffic will have access to sheloy detours (temporary roads that run alongside construction)," Marienau said.
three months.
Phase Two, which will allow traffic, eventually will add a center turning lane and make the entire 1.5 mile section of Sixth Street five lanes wide.
Wildgen said the city was contributing $689,000 to the $2.1 million project. The state is paying for the rest. Julias Kaaz Construction Co. of Leavenworth is in charge of the project.
"Depending upon the weather, the project should be completed by the middle of next summer," Marienau said.

Environmental groups to protest incinerator

can intends to burn.
They're after the Vulcan in Kansas.
Greenpeace, a worldwide environmental organization, and Plains Keepers, a Wichita environmental group, will meet with Gov. Mike Hayden and then rally on the steps of the Statehouse today in Topeka to protest against the Vulcan Materials Co.
The company, which has operated for more than 30 years in Wichita, plans to build an incinerator near the city and continue to produce pentachlorophenol (penta), a dioxin-contaminated wood preservative, which Vul-
Helen Perivier, the campaign coordinator of Greenpeace, said representatives from the two groups would meet with the governor to discuss Vulcan's intentions. After the governor's news conference this week the groups plan a protest rally for the steps of the Capitol building.
The group is asking for a ban on construction of the incinerator and a ban on penta.
Perivier said penta was a chlorinated hydrocarbon with strong chlorine bonds that resist being broken down by nature. Accumulating through the food chain, these toxins
threaten long-term damage for future generations.
“Vulcan is the last remaining U.S. producer of penta,” she said. “It can be found everywhere: on telephone poles, picnic tables, residential decks, bridges and railroad ties.”
Periver said the Environmental Protection Agency had classified penta as acutely hazardous and listed it as a potential human carcinogen.
Vulcan needs to build the incinerator if it is to continue producing penta because the agency is expected to ban the burial of penta wastes. If built, the incinerator would accept contaminated sawdust from lumber mills and wood chips, along with
leftover chemicals from its customers. If built, it would be the country's first private incinerator to burn dioxin-contaminated wastes.
Greenpeace and Plains Keepers are trying to gather public support to stop Vulcan's project. They have been successful in gaining public attention in the Wichita area after having several information meetings.
The two groups will have a public information meeting in Lawrence at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Speakers will include members of the environmental groups, a chemistry professor and an aquatic ecologist.
Summer study abroad students find experiences can be life-changing
Bv Linda Gaumnitz
Kansan staff writer
The summer study abroad programs at the University of Kansas offer students a chance to gain practical job experience as well as a chance to practice a foreign language.
This summer, 15 of the 189 students abroad are fine arts majors, 26 are business majors and 26 are journalism majors.
ing their lives, sometimes their professional goals."
"The students who go abroad come from all disciplines," said Janis Perkins, assistant director of the office of Study Abroad. "Most of the summer students are humanities students, but there are also business and journalism students who take part in the programs.
She said many programs required students to be independent. "Students that have gone abroad have done something that is a challenge." she said. "It usually ends up chang-
KU sponsors summer abroad programs in France, Great Britain, Italy, Costa Rica, Spain and Germany. The office also provides information about and coordinates programs from several other countries.
"If KU doesn't offer the program that interests a student, we could find him one," Perkins said. "We send students to just about every country in the world."
Perkins said 189 students went abroad this summer through the KU programs or programs channeled through the office. Fifty students went to France, 27 to Germany, 10 went to Great Britain, 19 to Italy, one to South Korea, 21 to Mexico, and 41 to Spain.
Perkins said the office provided financial aid, and the participating departments offered scholarships.
Program requirements depend on the school the student is interested in going to, Perkins said, but most programs require a 2.75 grade point average and two to four semesters of the given language.
Besides the foreign language departments, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Business and the School of Journalism offer programs for students who want to do more than practice a second language.
Roger Henry, a fine arts graduate from Garnett who has never taken French, studied in Peyresque, last summer under Allen's program.
"I went over with a group of

illustrators," Henry said. "It wasn't really a classroom situation. The students and teacher would talk over the assignments that we were to fulfill over the course of the stay, then we'd show our progress in the final critiques. It was a good, positive experience, and I earned three credits for it."
Doug Houston, associate professor of business, said the business school sponsored a program in England, in which students follow international business courses. This summer, about 12 students are in England to spend five weeks in class and two weeks traveling.
"The program gives business students a chance to see how business is conducted in another country." Houston said. It exposes them to different people and gives them a chance to work with them, he said. "Being in the program is different from being a
tourist."
Houston said the school has considered starting a similar program in another country where English is commonly spoken, such as in the Netherlands or Denmark.
Perkins said, "Students study abroad for a number of reasons, but a lot of students say, 'It's always something I've wanted to do.' They go to live and learn in a different culture, to improve their language skills. They want to have the experience of meeting people, getting a chance to travel and feeling a part of a different culture."
Henry stayed in a village of about 80 people, with rock houses, a well for water, and one phone. "We had to hook up the propane tanks for heat and for cooking," he said. "Some houses had carpets, others just a cement slab or dirt floor. We had the necessities like indoor toilets, but
"Whenever the mailman came to the village, everyone would run out to greet him, just like on M"A*S*H*, and give him letters." he said.
Henry said his stay at Peyresque exceeded his expectations for a good time.
"There was that language barrier for me," he said, "but I was just so intrigued and interested in the French students, and they were just as curious and afraid as I was. Once we made the initial effort to break the ice, we could communicate and express what we liked, disliked, what we were interested in.
"It's really a learning experience about yourself and what's important to you.
"I learned to be assertive, how to
get along on my own. I would recom-
mend you."

Opinion
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Thanks, Larry
A big thanks to Larry Brown for what he has done at Kansas. He leaves under less than ideal circumstances, but he has left behind the vestiges of a program that is successful in its own right. He has brought the Jayhawks marvelous success, and we thank him for that.
Assuredly, many people will now stand up and say "I told you so." They will pat themselves on the back for quoting unnamed sources in creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. They will claim that because they told everyone that Larry was leaving, he was leaving.
They again will raise the specter that has followed Larry since he took his second coaching job. They will say cruel things and spout innuendoes. They will say that winning at Kansas meant nothing to Larry Brown.
It is far easier to criticize Coach Brown's decision to leave than to praise him for what he has accomplished here. This writer plans to do the latter.
David White, editorial editor
Finally, he's gone
That's the emotion. We are all sorry to see Larry Brown leave, but aren't we more relieved that he finally made up his mind? Doesn't it ease our anxieties a bit knowing that we won't have to go through another bout of Larry trying to make up his mind?
Yes, he is gone. But this is no time to shed tears. Instead, this is a time in which the University and its Athletic Department should learn from the mistakes of the past and try to build a basketball program that Jayhawk fans can be proud of, both five years from now and 50 years from now.
The University must avoid coaches with Brown's quick fix- and leave philosophy. It must, instead, find a coach who is interested not only in his own gains, but the gains of this basketball program.
The University must be wary of any coach who constantly has his bags packed and seems more interested in any job other than the job at KU.
The presence of Larry Brown on this campus has made us all richer. He has brought us a national championship. For that we thank him. And even before the NCAA title, he had helped put KU back on the basketball map. We thank him for that, too.
But what Larry Brown really achieved was for himself. He created a solid vehicle at a major university with which to make himself a more marketable product.
You're welcome, Larry.
You're welcome, Larry.
Soviets ban history exams because of lack of truth
More than 53 million elementary- and high-school students in the Soviet Union did not take their final history exams this year. The government canceled the exams because it said the students' textbooks were collections of "lies" because they were nothing more than Stalin's version of history, missing, of course, the purges for which he is so infamous.
For years, Soviet students read and Soviet instructors taught the government's version of history. Joseph Stalin rejected text after text until he found the one he liked, called "The Short Course." Texts written during the era of Brezhnev ignored the crimes of Stalin.
Now, under Mikhail Gorbachev, students are to learn what really happened in those dark years under the dark hand, behind the Iron Curtain.
In recent weeks, publications have been increasingly bold in printing articles criticizing Stalin's policies and purges and have been commended for it. But the history books were not up to date. They did not meet the government's standard, its overall plan to de-Stalinize the country and fill in the "blank spots" in Soviet history.
The paper has said that adequate texts will not be ready for the next school year and that it will offer certain of its articles as a substitute text.
"The history exam can be canceled, but no one has a right to cancel history itself, no matter how painful." Izvestia said.
The Soviets are finally learning the truth of this idea. Gorbachev knows that glasnost must extend to the classroom, too. He should be commended for overseeing this action.
It is easy to proclaim that certain "reported" events did indeed not happen and to persist in that proclamation at the expense of sounding false. But it is far more difficult to reveal that certain deeds have been done and that other deeds have been done to cover up the original wrongdoings. This is a courageous step on the part of Gorbachev and his party.

Carlos Moore isn't a big name in the world of book publishing. In fact, he's brought out only one book, and it was far from being a best seller. But I wouldn't be surprised if hordes of authors soon show up at his door pleading: "Publish mine. Please, publish mine."

That's because Moore could very well be the most generous and kind-hearted book publisher in America.

But a couple of years ago, Moore published a book about the world of letters.
The University Daily Kanesa (USPS 650-840) is published at the University of Kansas, 118 Stauffer-Fitt Hall, Lawrence, Kan. 60045, daily during the regular school year, excluding Saturday, Sunday, holidays and final periods, and Wednesday during the summer session. Second-class postage is paid in Lawrence, Kan. 60044. Annual subscriptions by mail are $50. Student subscriptions are $3 and are paid through the student activity fee.
Not that I believe it, of course. But the Washington crowd is suggesting that you paid Wright that fat royalty on his dull paperback book because he was a committee gave your printing company $265,000 in business last year.
And instead of paying the author
And if I'm correct about the purity of your motives, you're the kind of publisher I've dreamed about.
If you should consider my proposal, I promise to do many things that Wright hasn't. For example, I'll be happy to visit bookstores for autograph parties. From what I've read, author Wright's book isn't even in most of your Fort Worth bookshelves, so you sell the books at political rallies. That's an unusual marketing approach.
the mere 10 or 15 percent, Moore gave him a whopping 55 percent.
I am writing to you because I have read about what an OK guy you are. Every few years, I bring out a book; and I'd like you to be my publisher.
On the other hand, there's that nasty innuendo going around Washington and Texas.
This kind of royalty payment is unheard of. Even the top best-selling authors can't command anything approaching 55 percent.
Believe me, for 55 percent, I'll give you a book with violence, scary occult stuff, maybe a health diet, some fitness exercises, a few get-rich-film schemes, and all the other best selling ingredients.
Maybe it's because you're new to the book publishing business. From what I've read, you run a commercial printing company.
We can call it something like: "The 55 Percent Solution."
That's because the printers must be paid, the book stores get their books from bookstores and other tries to regain his investment in distribution, advertising and so on.
If that doesn't appeal to you, I have another idea: You tell me the story of your publishing deal with House Publishing. Write a book form with you as the co-author.
that was nothing more than some of our old speeches and a few anecdotes.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but it ought to sell big in Washington. They like success stories.
Yet, this man, Carlos Moore, gave an author 55 percent. And he didn't even ask him to go on a grueling city-to-city promotional tour.
ot course, he's better known in polite settings in Fort Worth, where you live.
Not to brag, but as a writer, I'm better known than the fellow you paid 55 percent. Rep. James Wright, the vice president of the U.S. House of Representatives.
I'm so impressed that I'm going to send a letter to Mr. Moore and ask aim to publish all of my future books.
Being from Chicago, I understand what these innoendo-mongers are hating at. Wright's campaign tosses some printing business to you. You, in turn, publish Wright's paperback book and toss a fat royalty payment to him, which he pockets as regular merchandiser rather than a campaign contribution.
In Chicago, we call that a kickback. A nasty word, and in your case, I'm sure, totally untrue and inappropriate.
The letter is going Dear Mr. Moore:
Frankly, I was surprised that you'd pay a 55 percent royalty for a book
I prefer to think that you published his book and paid that plump royalty because you have one of those generous, outgoing Texas personalities.

CINEMATENCIENCIA
Amid allegations of inadequacies in the College of Liberal Arts, the college should consider establishing a competitive, predetermined grading scheme. This policy combats the problem of grade inflation, which produces unqualified graduates who are poorly on the University as a whole.
Robert King, dean of liberal arts, has set up a program of $1,000 annual pay increases to teachers who implement tough grading practices. That is a good first step, but the college should require its teachers to limit coursework in math and require students to spend more time and effort to achieve an A.
SMOKING AREA
JIMBORGMAN
Competitive grading should be adopted
Other Voices
TALK TO THE TERRORIST
"GOOD GLORY. ITS COME TO THIS. HAS IT?!"
By grading students in relation to how other students perform, a teacher challenges students to outstudy and outperform others, thereby achieving a greater mastery in a subject, which can be beneficial for grade distribution so that the highest grade results in an A and the lowest in a failure.
policy grades each student against every other student in the class, limiting the percentage of each grade that will be awarded by the bell-curve distribution scale.
This policy solves the problem of an academic standard set too low by teachers. It also encourages students to take a more active interest in their collegiate careers by forcing them to perform against their peers instead of barely surpassing the minimum requirements set by the teachers.
Students might oppose this system on the grounds that competitive grading would hurt their grades. They should remember, however, that a harder earned diploma will carry more weight with corporate recruiters. Also, graduate school admission departments will recognize the higher quality of a degree from the University and perhaps admit more UT graduates because of the degree—s worth.
Creating higher department-wide standards and competitively grading students' work will promote higher educational standards in the College of Liberal Arts. Only a uniform grading policy prohibits a student from receiving a grade higher than his work demonstrates, which allows a letter grade to serve as an accurate measure of a student's work.
In a capitalistic economic system, competition rules the marketplace.
By grading students against each other, the University simulates the competitive market that exists in the economy. Incorporating this policy might appear harsh, but the quality of graduates will rise. After college, students entering the competitive American job market find that "adequate" usually is accepted at an adequate firm but that competitive firms demand a higher standard. They also will force the less competitive firms out of business.
Although a more competitive grading system will not prove a challenge to some in the student body, the revised standards might encourage less-than-pad students to think about enrolling elsewhere. Unfortunately, many would like to slide by with just an adequate grade under the old system; but now, they will be required to perform at a more than adequate level. A student's ability to gain entrance into a school should not necessarily guarantee a successful college career.
By limiting the percentage of A ratings a teacher can award, competitive grading will reduce the effects of grade inflation and encourage teachers to grade discriminately. As a result of incorporation into the University reputation for producing graduates of high quality will be enhanced.
On the other hand, awarding grades higher than the student's performance erodes a diploma's worth and, therefore, the graduate's chances to receive a desirable job
decrease.

Ban the tan, folks! Pale is pretty
Dale Fulkerson/KANSAN
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
This may be the summer to put on a heavy sunscreen, find a nice piece of shade, and hide from the rays.
Sun worshipers may crine at the thought of having pale skin, but this summer, even fashion magazines have joined the ranks of doctors and specialists in an effort to ban the tan.
Brower Burchill, professor of physiology and cell biology, said people are beginning to understand that too much can cause skin damage and cancer.
He said he appreciated the fashion magazines' efforts to change taming habits but the battle has not been won vet.
"The fashion people are trying to help," he said. "They're trying to say 'let's create a new fashion.' They're not responding to a new fashion, they're trying to create one. And I think, in time, it will have an effect."
Several fashion magazines have printed articles warning against overexposure to ultra-violet rays and light complexions for photos.
"I think white is so gross," said Jim Buckle, Williamsburg senior. "I'd rather be dark now and worry about it in the future, I guess."
However, one University of Kansas student who spent last Friday afternoon by the pool, said if there was a fire in tanning habitts, it would be slow.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with half a million new cases diagnosed each year.
If treated in time, most cases can be cured, but overexposure to the sun should not be taken lightly, Burchill said.
Overexposure does not mean just
getting a serious burn, he said.
"Even moderate tanning is going to lead to a higher probability of aging effects and cancer," he said. "We're going to have to get people over the next decade or two to accept the fact that their natural color is just fine. People always want to be different than they are."
Burchill said he wears long-sleeved cotton shirts and loose-fitting clothing to keep cool and to protect his skin. He recommended using sunscreen or wearing a broad-brimmed hat while spending long periods of time outside.
Two kinds of ultra-violet rays that tan the skin, UVA and UVB, cause wrinkles, moles, and skin cancer. A small amount of UVC rays enter the atmosphere, but most are absorbed by the ozone layer.
The best time to start using sunscreen is during childhood, he said. Studies show that even one bad burn during childhood can elevate a person's chances of contracting skin cancer.
"UVA is a longer wavelength, and thus each wave has less energy, but there are a lot more of the waves," Burchill said.
According to an article in the June 1988 issue of Self magazine, UVA rays, which are found in many tan trees, were, until recently, considered safe.
The article said UVA rays cause the skin to age because they penetrate deep into the skin, altering it and breaking down blood vessels.
Sharon Coffman, part owner of Electric Beach Tanning Hall, 1601 W. 23rd St., said many people were becoming more aware of the long-term effects of indoor and outdoor tanning.
"But I don't believe that most of these people want to walk around white," she said. "They like to have a little color."
Coffman said business slowed down during the summer, but just before spring break, Electric Beach was open almost 24 hours a day.
Coffman she said she was informed about two months ago that Congress was writing a bill that would regulate the quantity and intensity of ultraviolet light in tanning salons. No bills have passed, but the owners of Electric Beach have taken steps to prepare for possible regulation.
"We went to a seminar in Chicago about a month and a half ago, and we did learn a lot," Coffman said. "We feel like we're really informed. And we are a certified salon." Tanning salons are certified by the Tanning and Toning Institute of America.
Dale Bennett, a retired pipe filer in Overland Park, was one of those people. He has had skin cancer and says he is more careful now.
"When I was a kid, I grew up on a farm," he said. "Of course, I thought I could go without a shirt, but with the type of skin I had, I couldn't. I blistered several times."

Chief of staff leaves White House
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Howard Baker Jr., who gave up his presidential ambitions to help President Reagan run the White House after the Iran-contra scandal, has resigned as chief of staff and will be replaced by his deputy, Kenneth Duberstein, it was announced Tuesday.
Baker said he will return to his home in Huntsville, Tenn., where his wife and his stepmother are in poor health. The changeover will take place July 1.
prudent.
"I really relish the thought of getting back to private life," Baker, an attorney, said in an interview. "It has been an extraordinary experience working with Ronald Reagan.
"I expect to go back and do nothing for awhile. I'm going to rest a little bit." Baker said.
With the accomplishments of the past 16 months and the health problems in his family, Baker said that it seemed like a logical time to go.
Prominently mentioned as a possible running mate on the Republican presidential ticket with George Bush. Baker said he would not turn down the number-two spot if it were offered, but he didn't expect the offer.
"You don't turn down requests of that sort if they are made," Baker said. "It's really something that is presumptuous in the extreme to say, No, I would not do that." But I did not want to do that. I do not expect to do that, and I think it's extremely unlikely I would be asked to do that."
Reagan accepted Baker's resignation with deepest sadness and hand in the operation.

tion of the White House while the Iran-contra investigations were being conducted."
Duberstein, 44, will be Reagan's fourth chief of staff. Like Baker, Duberstein is well known for his expertise in dealing with Congress. He was the White House's chief legislative strategist during part of
Reagan's first term, and after a stint with a business consulting firm, returned to the White House as Baker's deputy on March 23, 1987.
"Ken will be my principal aide and will lead the White House staff as we head into the home stretch." Reagan said in a statement. "He is an outstanding manager and skilled strategist who has been fundamental to the significant accomplishments, foreign and domestic, we have achieved."
Baker's resignation caught Washington by surprise. He once had promised, "I'm going to be here to lock the door and turn out the lights" when Reagan leaves office next Jan. 20.
Baker denied that his resignation signaled unsteady times at the White House.
Anti-gun columnist fires at trespasser
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Syndicated columnist Carl T. Rowan, who has written frequently of the need for stricter gun control, shot and wounded a teen-ager who had taken a pre-dawn swim in his backyard pool Tuesday.
Police said a record check indicated that Rowan's handgun was not registered as required and the case was being referred to the local federal prosecutor's office.
Ben Smith, 18. of suburban Chevy Chase, Md., was treated at Georgetown University Hospital for a wrist wound and released. He and a young woman companion were charged with unlawful trespass.
Rowan said he was awakened at 1:55 a.m. by a noise in his bedroom window.
"Then I heard a woman shout or scream and I thought it was on my property," he said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

"I was confronted by a tall, young man striding over as if coming into my house.
"First I said, 'Freeze.' Then I said, 'I warn you I have a gun.'"
"I said, 'Aw hell, man,' and kept coming."
"I fired a warning shot and it hit him in the eye."
Police apprehended Smith and Laura Bachman, 19, of Bethesda, Md. Rowan said that the others in the group of teen-agers got away.

In an interview with radio station WMAL, Smith acknowledged he was on Rowan's property, but he said that he made no threatening gestures.

"I was in my underwear soaking wet. I had just climbed out of the pool. I never spoke with him — he just shot me," Smith said.
Rowan, a liberal columnist, wrote in October 1985 that there should be a "complete and universal federal ban on sale, manufacture, importation and possession of handguns."
But Tuesday, he said that he had bought his gun a few years age when he was receiving threats. He said his gun was registered.
"I believe when you are getting threats you have to be prepared to protect yourself," towan said.
He said he did not remember the exact year he bought the gun. The District of Columbia, which has some of the strictest gun regulations in the country, passed a law in 1976 saying that only guns already then registered were legal for private possession.

No two flakes alike? Discovery by scientists may challenge myth
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A cherished common belief may be in doubt: the assumption that no two snowflakes are alike.
Nancy C. Knight of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., has discovered what may be the first matching set of snow crystals.
"My first reaction was to say 'that's absolutely impossible,' " said her husband, Charles Knight, also a researcher at the center.
But there the two crystals were, side by side, on a glass slide exposed in a cloud on a research flight over Wausau, Wis.
"One of the most quoted statements about snow crystals is that no two are alike, a bit of folk wisdom that is generally accepted even among those few regarded as experts in the subject," Nancy Knight said in a letter published in the May issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
But, she found a striking example of two snow crystals which, if not identical, were very much alike.
"In many years of snow-crystal collection the author has seen no other examples of such crystals, nor are any given in the standard references," Nancy Knight wrote.
- Charles Knight Researcher
"When you say no two are identical, that's a sort of philosophical question; there have been an awful lot of snow crystals over the history of the Earth," Charles Knight said in a telephone interview. "Especially with small ones, it is likely many were similar to one another. But
'My first reaction was to say "that's absolutely impossible." '
these two are a paradox."
Nancy Knight is out of the country doing research on hail. The center at which she and her husband work is co-supported by the federal government and a group of colleges and universities.
Meteorologists prefer the term snow crystal to snowflake, reflecting the fact that these entities take many forms other than the popular sixpointed image. Snow crystals can be shaped like stars, columns, needles, plates or just lumps.
The pair of crystals photographed by Nancy Knight are shaped like columns with vase-shaped hollow centers. They are tiny - one quarter millimeter (0.009 inch) the long way, slightly less on the short side.
Column-shaped snow is not really unusual, Charles Knight explained. "When you go out and see real snow crystals you begin to appreciate that those beautiful crystals (in picture books) are really quite rare."
Because crystals tend to grow fastest at their edges, column-shaped crystals with hollows in the middle, called lacunas, are not unusual.
The two virtually identical crystals were collected Nov. 1, 1986, while researchers were studying clouds.
The crystals were collected on a glass plate coated with oil, which was exposed to the cloud for 11 seconds at an altitude of nearly 20,000 feet. The plate was then kept cold until the airplane could return to the ground and the snow crystals were photographed.
The crystals don't exist any more, Knight noted.
In order to develop such identical shapes, the two had to go through identical growth histories, accumulating freezing water as they passed through layers of cold air, he said.
because they are alike and were found stuck together on the slide, it almost appears as if they should have grown to their final shapes while stuck together, Knight said. But if they had grown while attached to one another, they would not each have a complete, symmetrical shape, he added.
"There has to be some resolution to this paradox," he said.
What's the likelihood of finding more identical pairs of snow crystals?
"People should keep their eyes open." Knight said. Research in cirrus clouds such as those where the matching crystals were found has become increasingly popular in recent years, so more pairs of flakes could turn up, he said.
For those concerned about other common weather beliefs: Yes, lightning can strike more than once in the same place. Indeed, researchers have found that it seems to prefer some spots, usually trees on high ground.
Based on a study by the Beldon Associates, K.U students will spend $1,300,000 in June and July.

Med Center united by literary journal
Kansan staff writer
A literary journal put out by University of Kansas Medical Center students and staff, is evidence that medical students and faculty have a creative side.
The semiannual journal, "Synapse: Making Connections," features poems, short stories and essays by students and staff at the Med Center. The second issue, put out one month ago, is available at various offices at the Med Center.
'Synapse' uncovers creative talents
John Westfall, managing editor of the publication and second-year medical student, said he planned to publish the journal twice a year as long as money was available.
"I think that we have plenty of material to keep two issues going a year," he said.
year.
So far, the journal has 25 to 30 contributing writers, but Westfall would like to have more.
"We'd like to have over 100 contributors on our list next year," he said.
Robert Hudson, chairman of the department of history and philosophy of medicine, is the faculty adviser for the journal. He said he provided both financial and moral support for the project.
journal's title appeared in an editorial in the first issue. A synapse is a neurochemical connection between two or more neurons or nerve cells. It allows for communication between two nerve cells.
The idea behind the journal is to connect campus members and workers through creative expression. The function of a synapse, and of "Synapse," is to provide connection, response and action.
The idea for the journal originated when Westfall and another medical student were discussing a William
Carlos Williams poetry competition in Ohio. Williams was a physician and poet and the inspiration for "Synapse," Westfall said in his first editorial.
Hudson said that so far, only students and staff from the Med Center had contributed material for the journal. But future contributors may not necessarily be from the Med Center.
"We're not keeping it just Med Center people, but that is the major focus," he said. "We will accept writings from other sources."
Westfall said there was not enough money to distribute the journal on the Lawrence campus yet.
Candidate ready to take on Slattery
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Although his opponent has won three straight elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, Phil Neinhardt remains confident that he will take Kansas' 2nd District by storm.
the world.
"Jim Slattery (D-Kan.) no longer represents the people's needs in Kansas," Meinhard said yesterday on a campaign trip through Lawrence. "I'm going to bring this to the attention of the voters. The clear choice is with me."
Meinhardt, 53, is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and has been living in Topeka since March. Before then, he spent more than 30 years in the U.S. Navy and the Air Force with assignments around
the World.
Although Meinhardt has not lived in Kansas since 1952, when he left his family's farm in Bawainae County to join the Navy, he thinks his experiences in other states and countries can only benefit him in office.
“It’s a benefit, not a handicap, to see problems in France and England,” he said. “The experience is invaluable.”
Meindhäuf's Air Force career included 14 changes of station. He was a pilot and engineer and he earned his degree in business from UCLA.
Meinhardt said he produced the first military payload for the space shuttle, helped plan the evacuation of hostages from the Congo and
refugees from the Mideast and India-Pakistan border conflicts and participated in early research on the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars").
Meinhardt said his technological education had been "fabulous."
education had to "If I am called upon to deal with 'Star Wars,' I've actually participated in it," he said. "I have a good frame of reference to deal with technology."
with technology.
Meinhardt said he had a strong
Republican philosophy.
Meinhardt said his proposal to improve the United States was to
"The federal government should stay out of our pockets and off our backs," he said. "I am against tax increases and the government dictating what we do here in Kansas."
freeze government expenditures where they are now, which includes freezing military spending and the farmers' budget unless there is a change in the cost of living.
Meinhardt said the government should move carefully when making changes. He said the Democrats had too many programs that were not thought out, which can only add to the U.S. deficit.
"The way I work." Meinhardt said, "is like I am doing a formal analytical paper. I lay out the problem, examine it with many options and get everyone's cooperation. I don't propose to give solutions to all our problems, but I know how to get there."

Woman pleads guilty to two counts in check forgery case
By a Kansan reporter
Lesley Sawyer was sentenced last Wednesday to two years in prison after pleading guilty May 16 to two misdemeanor counts of theft by deception. She later was granted parole for two years and ordered to pay a restitution fee of $805.01, court costs of $8 and a parole fee of $25.
According to reports filed in the Douglas County district attorney's

Legislative applicant's petition ruled void
By a Kansan reporter
A 1988 University of Kansas graduate's petition to run for the 44th district seat in the Kansas Legislature has been ruled invalid because she forgot to sign her name.
Renee Denise McGhee said late yesterday that she received notice from the secretary of state's office that she had not signed her name on the forms before the noon deadline on Friday. Because of her error, she will
not be on the Nov. 8 ballot for that seat.
She said that she had until Friday to register an objection with the secretary of state's office. Her case would then be reviewed and a ruling made on her objections.

"As soon as I talk with my advisers, I plan to object to this ruling," McGhee said.
She said that she filed for the seat Friday at the same time as Stan Eckert, for whom she had been working.
McGhee, Lawrence resident,

'Nerd' turns out to be a winner
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
Rim-shot timing and snide asides keep the audience laughing as the cast of "The Nerd" dances, screams and laughs its way through a hilarious plot.
The Lawrence Community Theatre chose a winner for its final show of the 1897-88 season. "The Nerd," by Larry Shue, is a fast-paced, modern-day comedy about an architect named Willum whose life is turned upside down when the man who saved his life in Vietnam comes to his birthday party.
Willum has never met the man to whom he owes his life, who turns out to be a nerd with nowhere to live. As the plot twists and frustrations rise, the characters are driven to desperate acts to rid themselves of their new-found social plague.
Willum, played by Paul Jackson,
was the very picture of a desperate man taking a social beating. Tansy, the architect's weathergirl girl friend, was played by Debi Shannon, who conveys strained polite
ness and social mortification through her ever-changing facial expressions. She never missed.
Axel, Willum's drama-critic tenant, served as narrator, straight man and general jerk. Actor Ken Stewart's stiffness and affected mannerisms leaned toward distracting, but the timing of his snide added a second level of humor to the play. His subtle remarks snuck in on the coat-tails of other jokes and kept the laughter coming.
The show started slowly, with some confusing exposition. A few things were never defined, including the relationship between Tansy and Axel, and what year it was supposed to be.
Jackson and Shannon were the obvious leaders on stage, despite the fact that their love interest in each other was the least believable element of the show. They set a frenzied pace with boisterous body language, which hit the brakes only when any of the actors was left alone on stage.
The nerd himself, Rick Stedman,
was played by Tom Graves. How can
one person completely embody all aspects of a total social clod? His costumes, posture and hopeful grin were funny even without his grating, nasal voice. Graves somehow remained absolutely sincere and serious when the other actors, not to mention the audience, were roaring with laughter.
The other winner for the straight face award goes to Lillian Mason, who played Frygga Waldgrave, the brownie scout gone wild. She was the one actress who could hold the stage all alone.
Her mother, Cleia Waldgrave, played by Charlotte Knoche, wobbled delightfully on the fence of sanity with soft-spoken dignity and neurotic frustration.
Her husband, Warnock Walgrave,
played by Charles Neuringer, joined
her on that fence. He was under-
standably baffled at the behavior of
Wilmund, his architect. Neuringer
maintained hilarious believability
even though his costumes work*
against the corporate image he was trying to build.
Shannon, as the career-minded weather girl, also suffered from poor costuming. She was never outfitted as the tailored professional she portrayed.
The set was liveable down to the last detail. Everything was in place, down to the Mel Torme and Carousel records by the stereo and the architecture supplies underneath the drafting table. The only time the set didn't work was when the action centered on the coffee table, which was hidden from most of the audience by a short dividing wall.
The theatre once again put on a good show. "The Nerd" is a delightful, hilarious production. The problems were few. The laughs — and the surprises — were many.
"The Nerd" will be playing 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Lawrence Community Theatre, 1501 New Hampshire St. For ticket information, call 843-7469.
Several films slotted for Kansas locations
By Debbie Bengston
Kansan staff writer
The writers' strike has slowed production of feature films in California, but several films are tentatively planned for production this year in Kansas.
Jerry Jones, Kansas Film Commission coordinator, said that Kansas was a popular place to film in the film industry. It is the heartland of the United States.
CBS, the producers of "Why Me?", a story about a young man who overcomes an inoperable brain tumor through bleedback, picked Kamas for filming because she was one of the most of the heartland. Jones said.
"I don't know why," he said. "But Kansas strikes a chord as being true America."
Jones said that the writers' strike had slowed film production but that independent production
companies were picking up the slack.
Jones said Topeka would have a one-day shoot July 31 for the movie "No Holds Brars," a film about professional wrestling. He said that other than that project, no other movies had been scheduled to film in Kansas.
Jones said that the Kansas Film Commission was scouting two other films. Both tenative projects, "Waiting for Elvis" and "Another World," "take place in the 1950s. He said it had been a problem to find locations that met the specific requirements of certain movies.
That problem came up last summer while the movie "Kansas," starring Matt Dillon and Andrew McCarthy, was being filmed. Jones said that they almost lost the project to other states because a $150,000 farm house with a barn could not be found.

Socialist party candidate sets goals for the U.S. and world
By Jeff Pitcher
Kansan staff writer
The Socialist Workers Party isn't trying to win an election. It just wants people to understand what's really happening in the world, Kathleen Mickells told an audience of nine people yesterday in the Gallery West of the Kansas Union.
Mickels, the Socialist Workers Party candidate for vice president, was in Lawrence yesterday to explain her party's platform.
Mickells advocated support for Nicaragua and the full support of unions as an alternative to capitalism.
"Capitalism is a system that is crumbling and coming apart at its very seams," Mickells said. "There is going to be a virtual explosion of joblessness and homelessness."
"C
Capitalism is a system that is crumbling and coming apart at its very seams. There is going to be a virtual explosion of joblessness and homelessness.'
Kathleen Mickels—vice presidential candidate, socialist workers party
Mickells, 37, was born in Omaha, Neb., and attended the University of Nebraska. She also has worked as a coal miner and a political organizer. In 1986, she was a candidate for the House of Representatives in West Virginia.
Mickells said that the capitalist system was on the way out and that the only way to prevent complete economic collapse was for all the workers of the world to unite.
"Workers around the world are the same as you and me," she said.

same as you do. Mickells advocated a shorter work week with the same pay and free day-care centers for anyone in need.
After her speech, Mickellis answered questions from the audience and distributed literature from the Socialist Workers Party.
"It's not a campaign to win an election," she said. "It's a campaign to tell the truth."
Holders of KU parking permits can soon park closer to campus
Drivers with KU parking permits now will be able to park closer to campus in the lot behind the Kansas Union.
By a Kansan reporter
The work for the project, which cost $3,276, took place in early May.
One hundred twenty-four parking meters were removed from the middle of lot 91, directly behind the Union. They were reinstalled in lots 92, 93 and 94, north of lot 91 and just east of Memorial Stadium, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services. The spaces from where the meters were removed now will be for cars with yellow zone parking permits.
In April, the parking board decided to move the meters because of complaints by students and staffs. They were forced to park in slots much farther away from the visitors' parking zone. Hultine said.
"The thing that most people were mad about was that when they parked their cars in the permit zone, they had to walk by all these open parking spaces that were a lot closer than where they had to park," she
Leaks cripple new meters
By a Kansan reporter
Despite all their advantages, the recently-installed electronic parking meters on campus have a significant defect: they leak.
The 427 meters, which are being sent back in groups to the manufacturer, will have improved water seals within several months, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services.
The electronic meters, which the University bought at a cost of $101,727, contain only five moving parts and are easier to maintain than the mechanical meters which are more likely to malfunction , said Edwin Fenstemaker, maintenance technician for parking.
Another advantage, he said, is
Also, the electronic meters operate on $6 batteries that need replacing once a year.
that electronic meters can be programmed to take any kind of coin, even tokens. Some of the older meters only take one type of coin, he said.
replacing once a year
The 600 mechanical parking meters on campus may be replaced if maintaining them becomes more expensive than replacing them, Hultine said.
said
Fenstemaker said he was not surprised that the electronic meters had to be returned.
"These meters had only been tested in a laboratory before they came to us," he said. "Mother Nature is a lot different than a laboratory."
Most of the complaints were from staff members, but there are, however, two sides to the argument, she said.
The people at the Union and the
museum want their visitors to be able to park close also," she said. "I don't think we'll hear many complaints about the change until next fall, because there is not as much on in the summer."

Coordinator makes the wheels go
Fifth-year senior enjoys job with KU on Wheels
NATIONAL CHAMP
By Carla Krause
Kansan staff writer
Scott Russell, Coordinator of KU on Wheels
Steve Traynor/KANSAN
This is the office of Scott Russell, the new transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, the University of Kansas bus system.
Within the maze of partitioned student offices in 105 Burge Union is an office with hardly enough room for two people to stand in but through which passes paperwork significant to nearly everyone on this campus — at least, everyone who rides a bus.
A fifth-year senior from El Dorado, Russell said that he applied for the job because he thought he had a lot of experience working with people through various campus organizations. He also added, "I've been working with numbers and a given set of rules, along with dealing with the public."
Russell served on two Student Senate subcommittees during his freshman and sophomore years. He is now the Interfraternity Council vice president for membership and, as president of the fraternity and vice president, is now president of Pi Kappa Alpha. He rides the bus regularly, but his hobby is bicycling.
The job requires the transportation director to be a full-time student with a master's degree in nursing or health.
Russell was hired by the Board of Transportation in April, filling the vacancy left by the previous coordinator, Charles Bryan. A predecessor of Bryan's, Steve McMurry, caused considerable controversy when he was indicted for embezzling more than $257,000 from the bus system between 1978 and 1982. Since then, the program has gone through some significant changes as preventive measures.
Russell said that the most obvious change in the system was that more people were involved and aware of what went on.
"The main thing is is that everybody knows it's out there now," he
said. "It's audited every other year by an outside accounting firm, and the transportation board meets every other week to discuss any problems or suggestions."
As a non-voting board member, Russell takes part in discussions on bus fares, routes and contract specifications but does not have the power to make changes.
"The problem with the system before was that it was established in the early 1705 by McMurry himself, and he basically ran it alone," Russell said. "There were no checks at all."
Working with the $302,000 budget allowed by Student Senate, Russell said that his job was to "basicly channel paperwork through." He negotiates contracts for the board with the Lawrence Bus Co. within a given set of specifications, pays bills for the bus system, Secure Shuttle
and lift vans — a program for the handicapped that is run by the Student Assistant Center — and makes sure that everything runs smoothly.
Russell said that McMurry was in a position where students could buy bus passes directly from him, and he would never be audited for these sales.
Now, Russell said, all the receipts were reconciled and accounted for at the end of the semester. A careful watch also was kept on the passes themselves, from the time they arrived until they were counted under close supervision and finally delivered to the Kansas Union and the comproller's office to be sold.
Russell said that 8,000 passes were ordered for the fall semester, and would be sold for $33 — a $5 increase over last semester.
Since taking the position in April, Russell said he has been familiariz-
himself with the procedures manual and working on a simpler and higher-quality bus map for the fall
The nine fall routes have been decreased to two for the summer, which combines the Meadowbrook/Trailridge routes and the 24th and Ridge Court routes. Russell said he stayed busy during the 20 hours he was required to work in a week.
"I usually spend about 40 hours a week down here, because of obligatio-
Russell's term as transportation coordinator will end next year when he graduates. He is seeking degrees in political science and English and has taught to law school. As for his future, Russell said he has some very definite plans.
"After I graduate," he said, "I'm going to take the summer to do a bicycling tour of Europe."

and his Rocket 80's!
So this is
ROCK-A-BOOGIE!
For Mitch Woods, the inspiration comes more directly from the next generation, not only of pianists but also of the smallish 'jump bands' that worked with the shouting, sensual 'hush-and-blue-songs' singers Guys like Jack McAyean and Slim Galland all have their own records around 1950 and all of them were jumping on numbers.
Mitch Woods is like all his inspirations, an entertainer just as much as a fine pianist and jumpin' shoutin' vocalist. He works with a somewhat unusual horn section of saxophonist John Firmin (John Firmin) and frombone (Curtis Linberg) and with the guitar (Rick Wetter) playing in both the middle and the bass. Mitch Woods plays Firmin and Linberg, alumnus of the David Bromberg Band have got the essential 'snap' on beat down pat.
The Rocklet 88's (named, in tribute I imagine, forike Turner's former early 50's recording with Jackie Brenson's vocal) is a strong dance-band, a boogie-band with an immense repertoire and good-time feeling.
Put on your dancein' shirt, chillin', pals have taken the tables, pour a drink, put the needle in the groove, turn up the volume and turn-on.
It’s boogie-boo! I mean, it’s rock-a-booje time.

Service groups to miss coach
Brown active in helping community
Kansan staff writer
Larry Brown, former coach of the Kansas men's basketball team, won't just be leaving memories of winning seasons when he takes over in San Antonio.
By Linda Gaumnitz
and leaves a legacy of community service for Lawrence, the American Cancer Society and the Kansas Special Olympics.
r or the past four years, Brown lent his coaching fame and talents to the Special Olympics by sponsoring basketball camps for mentally handicapped children.
"Some of the Special Olympians looked forward to Larry's camp more than anything else." Marty Derta, director of the Special Olympics office, said. "It really meant a lot to them."
The camps lasted two hours, drawing up to 202 participants.
In January, the Jayhawks played a benefit scrimmage for the Special Olympics at Barton County Community College in Great Bend. Derta said that during halftime, Brown let some Special Olympians give an exhibition game.
brown and the Jayhawks also participated in a scrimmage at Johnson County Community College that raised more than $10,000 for the American Cancer Society, Derta said.
"Larry and his staff have done a number of things for the Special Olympics," Derta said. "Last Saturday, he worked at the grand opening of a mall in Topeka. He signed autographs, then worked for two and a-half hours with some Special Olympians on their basketball skills."
The Special Olympics named Brown the Outstanding Sports Personality of the Year in 1987.
"I think Larry's a model for other coaches," Derta said. "He's been at the forefront of the Special Olympics since he got here.
"His interest in the kids is genuine. Without his leadership at the clinic, I don't think the players would've felt as confident. Once they got out there with Larry, I think the players really enjoyed themselves."
Brown spoke at a number of fundraisers and was involved in an antidrug campaign at the Lawrence elementary grade schools and junior highs, said Floyd Temple, Kansas assistant athletic director.
Larry brown is one admirable talent." Temple said. "I know that Special Olympics was close to his heart. He devotes his time to helping Lawrence and people who are handicapped. He wanted to do as much as he could, and he made himself as visible as possible."
Brown has been an honorary crusade chairman for the past two years for the Kansas Chapter of the American Cancer Society and Camp Hope, a camp for children with cancer.
Last year Brown attended the camp and worked with the campers.
"Larry did attend the camp," a spokesman from the American Cancer Society said. "That meant a lot to the kids. You could see it in
their faces. When he walked up to a group of children and didn't introduce himself as the KU basketball coach, but as Larry, it meant a lot to them.
Brown also narrated an informational video on the cancer society.
"He made a lot of appearances for us. Even though it was difficult for him because so much happens during the basketball and recruiting seasons."
This year, Brown wasn't able to attend the camp.
Larry was supposed to come camp this year," Ryan Gray, the "lucky charm" of the Jayhawks, said, "but he got hung up in his work. The kids were really disappointed that he didn't come this year."
Gray's mother said, "Larry's involvement with the cancer society personified how many people need folks like him. He definitely had an effect on this town. I know we have at least one broken heart around here."
Ultimate disk clubs face new challenges
Gray said that Brown's departure would hurt many people.

Betty and the HorrorZontals. A punk rock group or a horror blood-and-guts slasher grade-B movie?
No, just the name of the University of Kansas women's and men's ultimate Frisbee disk clubs.
Those were the teams that competed in the National Collegiate Ultimate Tournament at Santa Barbara, Calif., in the spring.
Ultimate is a sport in which the offensive team throws a frisbee disk down the field toward an end zone while the defensive team tries to keep it from scoring, by intercepting or blocking the throws.
The game combines elements of football, soccer and basketball, and relies on sportsmanship instead of referees to ensure fair play.
The men's ultimate team improved its 1987 2-4 national tournament record by winning three of its five matches. The women's team, national collegiate champions in 1987, was eliminated early in the three-day tournament and finished with a 1-4 record.
Members of the Horror2ontals, a term for a player diving for a disk, found this year's tournament as competitive as last year's.
The two teams that defeated the KU men placed first and second in the tournament, said HorrorZontals player David Lam, Kansas City, Kan.
"Personally, I thought we did much better, although at times our play wasn't as good as it could have been." Lam said.
Next year, the men's team will lose four members of the 16-man team that traveled to Santa Barbara.
Holly Larrison, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore and a player, said the
we're losing at least four players because they're graduating, but we'll still have a strong nucleus for next season." Lam said.
senior.
Betty, the women's team, will also be losing experienced players. The loss of five seniors and an increasingly competitive level of play will challenge players next season, said player Debbie Martin, Springfield, Mo. senior.
competition was a lot stiffer than last year. "It was only the second national tournament held for women, and it was definitely more competitive this year."
Members of Betty, a West Coast slang term for women, were disappointed with their performances, even though they didn't expect to become national champions again this year. Martin said.
"I don't think we were as strong this year," she said. "I don't think we expected to win again, but I also don't think we expected to do as poorly as we did."
"Our attitude was different," Martin said. "Last year, we went there and had fun; this year, I think, being the returning champions was on our minds, and we were too critical of ourselves."
Both teams participate in openseason play in the fall against non-university teams. The collegiate teams compete against one another in the spring, advancing from sectional play to regional contests and later to the national tournament.
The teams will also compete this summer.
The men's team will be competing in a tournament in Boulder, Colo., on July 4 and another one in Minnesota at the end of July.
A few players of the women's team are planning to travel to those tournaments. But, because there won't be enough players to make up a full team, they will combine with other teams who are also short of players.
"There will be a lot of teams there who, like us, are short of players and we'll end up joining them or playing in pick-up games," Martin said.
The KU teams will host a tournament, Savage, in Lawrence during the first weekend in August.
The tournament will be slightly different from regular ultimate tournaments.
"Our tournament will have just seven players on a team and they'll be playing for nine points." Lam said. "The quicker pace means endurance will be important."

They just keep asking
They just keep laughing.
And Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham keeps jumping at the chance to represent his country.
Bingham is an assistant coach on the United States Olympic baseball team this summer, the same position he held in the 1984 games.
"The they the Olympic coaches and the United States Baseball Federation) have asked me to do it, so I've done it," said Bingham, who is beginning his second year at Kansas. "It's been an each-one-tops the other-type of thing. Each one has been wonderful. Each one is a new opportunity. But, not in any way is it expected on a nearly basis."
This is the eighth international competition Bingham has coached in, beginning with the 1979 Friendship Series.
Dave Bingham
Bingham was originally asked to be an assistant coach for the 1979 series team by Bob Smith, then president of the USBF. As a former president of the NAIA Coaches Association, Smith had met and worked with Bingham at Emporia State.
medalists; as the coach for the 1984 World Baseball Championships bronze medalists; and as an assistant coach for the 1987 Intercontinental silver medalists.
Bingham served as an assistant coach in 1891 for the World Games and Intercontinental Cup gold medalists; as an assistant coach for the 1893 Friendship Series; as an assistant coach for the 1894 Olympic silver
Then they just kept asking.
The 1988 Olympic coach, Mark Marquess, also coach of the 1988 national champion Stanford Cardinal, asked Bingham to assist on this year's Olympic team while he was still at Emporia State.
"It could have been a good political move to have an NAIA coach on the staff," Bingham said. "But I don't know if Mark picked it that way. Initially they liked representatives at all levels."
Bingham began his duties with the Olympic team at the tryouts in Millington, Teen., on June 10. The team's exhibition games open tomorrow in Millington and its competition lasts through September 29, the day after the Olympic gold medal game in Seoul, Korea.
Marquess could not be reached for comment between the College World Series last week and the Olympic tryouts this week.
"My number-one concern is the time away from my family," said the father of two. "It's going to be difficult to be away from my wife and kids for that length of time.
Being involved with his country's team is special for Bingham, but the time spent away from his family is the worst part of the opportunity.
"This is the seventime time and she (his wife Janet) has really been great about holding things together and supporting everything I do. She deserves all the credit."
His wife said, "It's been different each time. This is the first time he's actually going to be gone. That's going to be really different.
"The hardest part will be when he goes overseas. It's harder to stay in contact then. But, I guess I'll have to learn how to mow the yard and try to be a mother and a father."
Another concern of Bingham's is the time away from his collegiate duties, mainly next year's recruiting.
O₂
'One of the greatest thrills of my life is to be a part of one of the national teams. Outside of seeing my own two children born, I can't think of anything more exciting than being on the field in Los Angeles in 1984.'
Bingham said the late dates for the Olympic games would not affect the Jayhawks too much in the fall because they could start the regulation 26-week season later than normal
The added recruiting burden placed on his assistant coaches is his biggest worry.
"I don't think it will be too bad," said Bingham, whose Jayhawks finished 25-34 and last in the Big Eight this spring.
this spring.
This year will be the year after.
This year's recruiting is essentially done. Recruiting in the summer will be for the next year. It puts a lot of pressure on our assistant coaches this summer though."
Kansas assistant coach Wilson Kilmer said the added recruiting load on
him and Kansas' other assistant, Lee Ice, was well worth the international exposure Bingham received.
The exposure the Olympic team gets and the contacts he meets there will far outweigh his time away." Kilmer said. "It's a lot of great exposure. He's taking KU everywhere he goes."
Bingham said this summer was an ideal time to spend on a national team, which raises national awareness of the Kansas program.
The toughest competition in the games will be from countries that don't send college players to the Olympics, countries with an Olympic ballplayer's average age being 26 to 27 years old.
"This is an ideal time to do it. It's tougher for other coaches who have national-caliber teams to leave their programs than me leaving because we're building right now. The next step is to quit sending the coach and start sending the players, to get players of that caliber at KU."
"We need a national-type name, a national-type program," Bingham said. "Essentially we need to start with the coach."
Most teams are more mature.
bungnam said that Cuba, if it competes, and Japan would be the countries to beat for the gold. Along with those two, the United States, Taiwan and Korea are also favored to be playing in the medal round.
older and their national team is almost like a professional team. Cuba's average age is 27 years old. Japan's average age is 26 to 27. They have a lot of international experience. We have great players here, but they're not as seasoned."
Comparing a country's value system and its lifestyle with its style of play is one of the most interesting aspects of international competition, Bingham said.
He said the Oriental teams play with strong discipline and respect, like their family background. In contrast, the Latin teams are macho and undisciplined.
"It's not many to get a player to bunt (on a Latin team)." Bingham said. "It's not macho. All the players want to be stars. It's something different than the role-playing Asian teams where everybody does their little role. They don't have any stars."
"The United States gets a little of both. We allow both to take place, but not in such ways."
---
But, just being able to represent America and its lifestyle along with learning about other cultures still doesn't match the excitement of the greatest spectacle in sport.
"One of the greatest thrills of my life is to be a part of one of the national teams. Outside of seeing my own two children born, I can't think of anything more exciting than being on the field in Los Angeles in 1984."

Corporations find niche in Big Eight
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — What do motor oil, blue jeans and potato chips have in common?
The Rig Fight
The Big Eight.
Like many major conferences, the Big Eight is wading increasingly deeper into the waters of corporate sponsorship, and banking bigger and bigger navychecks.
"We have championship events in 20 sports," said assistant commissioner Bill Hancock, who handles corporate sponsors for the Big Eight. "We'd like to have a title sponsor in every one of them. We're a long, long way from all 20. But it will happen some day."
sometime day.
"In 1981, we took in $3,900 from sponsors. That's grown to $91,000 this year, with every penny going into a direct eight-way split among our member schools."
The Big Eight basketball tournament that took place in Kansas City this spring was officially called the Phillips 66 Big Eight Basketball Tournament.
student-athletes who excel in the classroom no longer get named to the Big Eight all-academic team. They are selected to the Lee Jeans Big Eight all-academic team.
To some purists, the Big Eight might as well make a call to Hades to see if the devil might be interested in a soul.
"I have some very good friends who feel that way." Hancock said. "I can understand their thinking."

a co-pride potato. "I can't believe it," he said. "That's what I thought in 10 years ago. But times change. In these economic times, saving a sport at an institution, which is to say saving scholarships for young people, can cause your thinking to change."
our thinking to change
Besides, Hancock said, the corporate tie-ins were not what they might seem.
seeth.
"If it's a reputable company that you involved with, it does not change the event," Hancock said. "And I can assure you that the Big Eight is dealing only with top-netch, first-class people and organizations. Corporate America is not evil. If it helps us provide a greater championship atmosphere for our kids and it helps an institution save a sport or be able to come up to NCAA scholarship levels, then it's worthwhile," he said.
Although Phillips Corp. was the title sponsor of the basketball tournament, several other companies were involved to a lesser extent. Corporate banners were a visible detail in Kemper Arena during the three-day event.
"They get signs in the arena and message board advertising." Hancock said. "They get the right to buy some pretty good tickets and parking and the right to use our name. We sell identity as much as anything. In addition, these companies find that an association with college athletics is a healthful thing to have."
Tom Lancaster, vice president for marketing for Lee Jeans, said his company's sponsorship of the Big Eight's all-academic team was not necessarily profitable.

"in our case, you can't say that
we've done it purely from a business
standpoint," he said. "Because if you
put a cost-benefit analysis to it, you
would have a tough time justifying it.
So why do it?
SO WHY? "One consideration, in our case, is an identification with young adults and our product." Lancaster said.
Lancaster's company has several sports tie-ins, including the Tom Watson Golf Clinic every year and a program in which players for the Kansas City Chiefs help tutor inner-city youths.

Pistons even series by routing Lakers
The Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich. — Adrian Dantley scored 27 points and Detroit outscored the Los Angeles Lakers 25-8 during a second-half spart as the Pistons evened the NBA championship series with a 111-86 victory Tuesday in game 4.
The Pistons took advantage of their superior depth on a hot night by increasing the tempo and drawing fouls, something they could not do in losing Game 3 on Sunday.
Detroit had 46 free throws Tuesday, compared with 12 in Sunday's defeat. Dantley was 13-for-15 from the line Tuesday.
The Pistons, 8-3 at home in the playoffs, will play one more game at the Silverdome on Thursday night before returning to Los Angeles for Game 6 on Sunday and, if necessary, a seventh game two nights later.
The Lakers, who are in the NBA finals for the seventh time in the last nine years, are trying to become the greatest basketball Boston Collegi to repeat as champions.
Isiah Thomas, who missed practice Monday and Tuesday with a sore back, had 10 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds to lead the Pistons, while Vinnie Johnson added 16 points.
Magic Johnson led the Lakers with 23 points, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 14.
Los Angeles, trailing 38-51 at half-time, hit three of the first four baskets of the second half to get within three points.
But the Lakers made only two field
goals in the last 10:40 of the period,
falling behind 83-65 entering the
fourth quarter.
The Lakers scored only four points in the remainder of the period after Johnson was called for his fourth foul with 7:03 left in the third quarter.
A basket by John Salley in the first minute of the fourth quarter completed the 25-8 spurt and gave the Pistons an 85-65 lead.
The Lakers have won four NBA titles in this decade and 10 overall, the first five when the franchise was located in Minneapolis.
Johnson, trying desperately to bring the Lakers back, scored their next nine points, but the Pistons continued to extend the margin. Los Angeles got no closer than 15 in the fourth period.
Detroit is making its first appearance in the finals since moving to Michigan in 1957. The Pistons won their first division title this season and are playing in June for the first time in franchise history.
With its bench scoring the team's first 18 points of the second quarter, Detroit led by as many as 11 in the period.
The Pistons grabbed a 21-12 lead behind 10 points by Danyley in the first seven minutes. The streak included only one basket from the perimeter.
The Lakers, who outscored Detroit 84-49 from the free-throw line in the first three games, then took a 22-21 lead with 10 consecutive points, six on free throws.

Artists out to disprove critics Unique Kansas art displayed at museum's summer opening
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
When people think of an exhibit featuring Kansas Art, they envision walking through painting after painting of wheatfields and barns.
"A Kansas Collection," the exhibit featured at the summer opening of the Spencer Art Museum, may change some minds.
There are 50 pieces in the show. Included are sculptures, paintings with oil and watercolors, drawings, etchings and prints. The pieces do not have a common theme; each piece is as individual as the artist who created it.
Many of the paintings are abstract except for a few, such as "Welcome to Kansas," a pastel by Diane Newton, and "Rio Grande Orchard," a watercolor by Joan Foth.
Like the show itself, the works of sculpture lack a common theme. Jon Havener's pieces, "Entrap" and "Electric Cadet," are constructed from steel, brass and copper, producing an illusion of heaviness and darkness.
producing an allure on the other hand, uses wood brightly painted with orange or red acrylic to create his sculpture, "Keeping Your Head (While Others Are Losing Theirs)." Gormally's sculptures leave the viewer with a sense of weightlessness and brightness, deeply contrasting Havener's heavy sculpture. Each piece was different and unexpected.
A symposium, "Forty years of Kansas Art," with three speakers, preceded the collection's premiere. . . .
speakers, preachers. Jane Eby, a Wichita artist featured in the collection, spoke about art history in Kansas. She said that Kansas had moved slowly in recognizing talented artists and consequently had lost many to states that recognized art, such as California and New York.
The way to recognize artists, she said, is through the media and constructive criticism.
media and corporate crises. Croissard,
Philomene Bennett, a Lenexa artist also featured in the
collection, said the state had to remember the wealth of
talent that was in Kansas.
"We forget how much talent we have because we are taught that art is best on the East and West coasts," she said.
The last speaker, Don Lambert, a Topeka free-lance art writer, said that "A Kansas Collection" had met with bad press at its opening in Washington, D.C. He said that many critics said the collection was dull and the pieces in the show were similar.
"The only thing consistent with the show was the geographic point of origin," he said.
He said this show, despite the bad reviews by Newsweek, the New Art Examiner and the Kansas City Times, was the best thing that had happened to Kansas art and artists.
He said the critics were blinded by Kansas' reputation of wheatfields and barns.
"Local critics tried their best to sabotage the show," he said. "They didn't know how to look at art other than that produced in New York."

Train hits car,kills 8 Kansans
The Associated Press
CHEROKEE — A station wagon burst into flames yesterday when it was struck by a freight train at a rural crossing in southeast Kansas, killing two women and five children.
MINES
An ambulance attendant collapsed and died of a heart attack while attempting to resuscitate one of the children at a hospital, officials said.
Crawford County Sheriff Lynn Fields said the car was struck on the passenger side by a Burlington Northern freight train made of one engine and seven cars. All but one of the victims were thrown from the
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified victims of the crash as Kathy Hastings, 31, and her children, Erik Hastings, 5, Reuben Hastings, 3, and Kara Hastings. 8 Also killed were Lisa Maxwell, 26, and her two children, Joel Maxwell, 5, and Avery Maxwell. 2 All were from Iola, the patrol said.
patients, Joel Cobb, 48, of rural Pittsburg, the director of Crawford County's ambulance service, died of an apparent heart attack at Mount Carmel Medical Center in Pittsburg.
Collin Hermreck, a hospital spokesman, said that Cobb apparently went to the accident scene, where the temperature was in the mid-90s, and returned to the hospital with one of the victims.
Letting me down easy
"Shortly after the victims arrived, he was helping resuscitate one of the children. He collapsed and died," Hermreck said.

heather was crossing the tracks on a county road about two miles northeast of Cherokee about 1:15 p.m. yesterday. The crossing was not protected with lights or arms.
projects Lennie Westervelt, chief of the Rural Cherokee Fire Department, said that the gasoline tank of the car exploded on impact. The car was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. The wooden ties on the railroad tracks were also on fire.
Westervelt said that the heat from the fire was so intense that it melted the license tag on the back of the car.
The rail cars remained upright and on the tracks. Officers at the scene said there was a small fire in electrical wiring on the train as a result of the collision.

Five of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. One child was pronounced dead at Mount Carmel Medical Center, and another died en route to the hospital.
Commission sends back zoning request
After more than three hours of public debate, the Lawrence City Commission voted 3-2 to send a request for downzoning part of the Oread neighborhood back to the Planning Commission.
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
The City Commission recommended that the area originally submitted for downzoning be subdivided into areas that could agree more easily.
Downzoning changes the type of new structures allowed in an area from high-intensity development, such as apartments, to low-intensity development, such as single-family homes.
homes. The area being considered for downzoning is bounded by Ninth, Illinois. Tennessee and 11th streets.
The commission at first agreed 3-2 to concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the downzoning request and allow only voluntary downzoning by property owners.
Immediately after that vote, however, Mayor Bob Schumm, who had voted to concur, started to propose recommendations for the Planning Commission. City Manager Buford Watson told the mayor that he couldn't add anything to a concurrence. Schumm then moved to reconsider the vote.
"I don't think this map as it's been drawn has the support to be down-zoned," he said.
David Guntert of the city planning staff said the owners of 34 of the lots in the area had expressed a desire to downzone and the owners of 60 lots in

The Lawrence Police Officers Association voted in favor of a new work agreement last night that included a 10 percent wage increase over the next two years.
Sgt. Gary Sampson, association vice chairman, said the vote count was unavailable, but there was a definite majority in favor of the proposal.
"At this point in time, our membership seems to be satisfied," he said.
The contract was reached at a meeting Monday morning by negotiators from the city and the officers association and voted on last night. Last night's meeting took a little more than an hour as members discussed the terms of the agreement and voted.
Of the 56 officers LPOA represents, including police officers, corporals and detectives, 32 were at the meeting and 10 voted by absentee ballots.
The LPOA entered the negotiations with a list of 35 concerns and requests. The final agreement addresses fewer than half of those items. For instance, the officers wanted seniority to affect salaries, which it does not now.
"It came down to a cost-of-living adjustment and re-classification," Sampson said.
According to the new agreement, the city will pay a 3 percent wage increase beginning Jan. 3 and a 4 percent wage increase Jan. 3, 1990.
The city agreed to a 3 percent re-classification of police officers' salaries by Jan. 3, 1989.
The association had sought a 14 percent pay increase over two years. The city originally had offered 6 percent over two years.
Sampson said the officers came out ahead in some areas. "We've stayed even with the cost of living this year," he said. "We're not losing, but for 190 we'll see."
Sampson said the agreement consisted of two documents for each year of the contract. If, in 1990, the association is not satisfied with the agreements, negotiations can start again.
again. Sampson said one of the principal losses in the agreement was that the interdepartmental grievance procedure has been eliminated. This procedure allowed problems within the department to be handled by the department. Under the new agreement, the problems will be handled by the city.
"We're glad it's over with." Sampson said. "We're glad we didn't need to go with a mediator."
This is the first time in the 10-year history of the association that outside negotiators have not been called in to settle a contract. The final version will be voted on by the Lawrence City Commission.
"We would like to see the whole process reviewed," Sampson said. "There are obviously problems with the city resolution."
Stephan clears up complex fraud law
Kansan staff writer
By Karen Boring
The 1987 law that made rent fraud a felony has been confusing for both landlords and tenants.
Attorney General Robert Stephan issued an opinion last week that the law could be used only when fraud could be established.
Greg stauffer, co-director of the Lawrence Tenants' Association, said yesterday that the law had the potential to be misused.
"I think that landlords and tenants need to be very clear about what this law can and cannot do," said Staufer. "What we want to tell tenants is that they cannot be prosecuted for having a bill due. You cannot be imprisoned for bad debt."
The state law, passed last year,
amended an older law about defrauding
inniekeepers and restaurateurs to
include landlords. The law makes it a
class E felony to defraud a landlord,
inniekeeper or restaurant for more
than $150 in accommodations.
It is unconstitutional to imprison a person for debt unless fraud is involved.
"I think it would be difficult to prosecute under this law," Branson said. "I think it's going to be so difficult to prove, intention of fraud that is; it seems to me that it's not going to be effective."
Jack Brand, a member of the
Fraud for accommodations valued at less, than $150 is a misdemeanor
at less than $1 million. State Rep Jess Branson, District Rep Jessie who asked the attorney general for his opinion in June 1967, said that she was satisfied about the constitutionality of the law now that fraud had been emphasized.
'The assumption has always been that you can't get away with fraud.'
— Jack Brand association member
Lawrence Apartment Association, an association of apartment complexes, said that he knew of no landlords in Lawrence who had used the law since it was passed
"I would think it would have a very limited application," he said. "The assumption has always been that you can't get away with fraud."
Bud Carter, executive director of the Associated Landlords of Kansas, said that it was a preventative law which could be used to educate landlords and tenants about the consequences of fraud and theft. He said that should be made aware of the law when they looked for an apartment.
"Some people thought that the law would be a collection tool, but that's not what it is," he said.
Carter said that 95 percent of tenants were good tenants, and that the law would protect them as well as landlords.
Stauffer agreed that the law should be used to discourage tenants from fraudulently applying for an apartment. He hoped that landlords would not use the law to intimidate tenants.
Stauffer said that using the law to try to collect old debts would be unprofessional.
"I'm pleased." Stauffer said. "I think it is cleared up."
EPA targets three Kansas locations
Sites to be considered for cleanup in environmental program
The Associated Press
In most instances, proposed sites are later added to the National Priorities List for Superfund monies, but a final decision can take more than a year.
WASHINGTON — Three hazardous-waste sites in Kansas were proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday as candidates for cleanup under the federal Superfund program.
The kansas canal is Hydro-Flex Inc, Topeka, a manufacturer of tubing, hose and heat exchangers. Heavy metals, including chromium, lead, cadmium and copper, have been detected in water wells. About 6,500 people obtain drinking water from wells within three miles of the site. During 1970-81, waste water and sludges from a metal-finishing operation were discharged through a septic tank into buried shafts that ended within two feet of the aquifer used for area
The Kansas candidates are:
groundwater contamination at 29th and Mead streets in Wichita. The 70-acre site covers an industrialized area and is named for an intersection in the city. A number of toxic chemical and solvents, including arsenic, barium, benzene and toluene, have been detected in water from wells on the site and nearby. EPA said the full extent of the contamination has not been determined, and that state officials have identified more than 30 potential sources of the wastes associated with the pollution. About 3,300 people obtain their drinking water from wells within three miles of the site. A nearby creek also is used for recreation.
drinking water. The silos were abandoned in 1981 when municipal sewers became available.
Pester Refinery Co., El Dorado. The 10-acre refinery, which began operation in 1917, was purchased by Pester in 1977. Sludges and sediments from refining operations have
been stored in an on-site dump. Soil, groundwater and surface waters have become contaminated with hazardous chemicals such as benzene, toulene, cadmium, selenium, lead, chromium and vinyl chloride. Last year, state officials determined that wastes were leaking from the dump into the West Branch of the Walnut River. A dike and pit were built to contain the seepage, but sludges have spilled over and contaminated the river and floodplain. About 160 people obtain drinking water from private wells within three miles of the site.
The three Kansas sites were among 223 nationwide proposed as candidates for the Superfund priority list.
So far, seven sites in Kansas have been declared eligible for cleanup under the federal program. There is one other proposed Superfund site in Kansas.
Shuttle overhaul completed
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Jubilant space workers completed a 600-day overhaul of the space shuttle Discovery on yesterday, a giant step toward a late summer launch.
The Associated Press
Cheers and applause broke out among several hundred workers who lined the 1,000-foot route as a tractor towed the 80-ton tshuttle out of a processing facility and moved it to an assembly building.
"This is like a rebirth," said Discovery flow director John "Tip" Talone. "We're in business again, and we're going to stay in business. It's got to be a tremendous boost to the workers here."
If there are no hitches, Discov
At the assembly building over the next few days, Discovery will be joined with its external liquid tank and two 126-foot solid fuel booster rockets.
"This is an outward event that people can look at and say that America is going back into space soon." McCartney told
NASA's latest launch assessment date is Sept. 3, but officials said it was still possible to achieve a late August liftoff.
"A lot of things have to go right to make the end of August; if not, we'll go a few days after that," said Foresst. M.Cartney, director of the Kennedy Space Center, after Tuesday's move.
A total of 210 modifications have been made and tested on Discovery since it was moved into the processing facility on Oct. 30, 1986, exactly 600 days ago. Many changes had been planned before the Challenger explosion, but
ery will be moved to Launch Pad 39B on June 30 to be readied for launch in late August or early September.
Major improvements have been made to the three main engines, to the mainframe structure, brakes and landing gear. A blow-out hatch has been installed in the cabin to allow the astronauts to bail out with parachutes in case of trouble while the shuttle is gliding to a landing.
many resulted from studies made after the accident that pinpointed potentially troublesome safety areas.
---
Two major propulsion tests must be passed before Discovery can be cleared for launch. On July 22, with the spacecraft bolted firmly to the launch pad, its three main engines are to be fired for 20 seconds to test modifications and to give the launch team countdown practice. Four days later, a fifth fullscale ignition is planned for the redesigned booster rocket at the Morton Thiolok plant in Utah.

Brook Menees, student body president, talks with Roberta Green of Vermillion, South Dakota, during the freshmen orientation luncheon. Menees participated in Saturday's orientation session under a false identity to find out how freshmen orientation correlated to University life.
Menees is new student again
Student body president goes through orientation under alias
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Some freshmen coming to the University of Kansas this fall might be surprised to learn that they already have met the leader of KU's student government.
Brook Menees, student body president, attended summer orientation Saturday, posing as Phil Glickstein of Wilanda, Mich. He told a group of about 20 freshmen that he came to KU because he heard it had a great agriculture school.
When they laughed, he said, "Well, I like poetry. I can study that."
Menees said he used a false name because he wanted to go through orientation as a new student would, so he could see more clearly what orientation was like.
Menees ran with the Top Priority coalition last spring and stressed the need for better student advising. He said that advising did not need a complete change but that it was obvious the students needed more than they were getting from it.
He was invited to participate in the program by the orientation staff about a month ago, but he said that it was his idea to go as a new student.
Menees went through every step of the orientation session except the individual advising and enrolling. The daylong orientation sessions started Thursday and will continue until July 25.
The program, for incoming freshman, transfer students and readmitted students, is designed to introduce them and their parents to the University and ease their transition into the KU community.
Kelli Clark St. Louis freshman, said she was scared about coming to KU.
"I have no idea of what classes I want to take," she said. "Things aren't set up step by step like they are in high school."
Sally Bryant, assistant dean of educational services, is the newly-appointed director of orientation. Orientation, which used to be part of the office of admissions, is now under the office of educational services. Bryant said the orientation was a dual process consisting of orientation and advising that she would like to continue through the new students' first year.
new students "in your area."
"We would like to do whatever we can to facilitate the advising and enrollment process," she said. "That's what we're all about."
Bryant works with a 12-student staff and two assistant directors. Mike Blumenthal, Omaha senior, is one of the assistant directors. Blumenthal said the orientation staff was made up of a diverse group including transfer students, minorities, a graduate student and fraternity and sorority members, all with various majors.
"If you were to come to orientation, no matter what, you would find someone to identify with here," he said.
The incoming students, their parents and Menees were welcomed by Bryant, Randa Dubnick, assistant director of the honors program, and Frances Horowitz, dean of the graduate school. The students and parents split up and spent their day hearing students, administrators and professors talk about everything from requirements and advising to decorating residence hall rooms and what bars to go to.
Kristian Clark, Overland Park incoming freshman,
said the orientation was informational for some but that
she already was familiar with most of it.
she already was terminated.
"I kind of feel like skipping everything and going straight to enrollment," she said. "I have been here so many times."
She said she came to Lawrence frequently for parties. Geri Chupinik, who flew in for orientation from Chicago, said, "It's kind of long." But it was worth it to fly here to hear the information."

Wichita may get toxic incinerator Plan could affect Lawrence
By Paula Messbarger
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Trucks carrying hazardous wastes from 130 locations could be traveling through Lawrence by 1990 on their way to Wichita to burn the waste in a proposed incinerator, a member of an environmental group warned.
members of Greenpeace, an international environmental organization,
and Plains Keepers, a Wichita-based environmental group, voiced opposition to the Vulcan Chemical Co.'s proposal to build an incinerator seven miles south of downtown Wichita at a meeting Thursday night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
The proposed incinerator would burn pentachlorophenal (penta), a wood preservative which could turn into chlorodioxin, a toxic chemical compound, when burned.
compound, when it is needed. About 100 people attended the meeting, including two representatives from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and about six representatives of Vulcan
Almost everyone stayed until the end of the meeting, bearing the sweltering heat from the non-air conditioned room. Some were able to keep cool by fanning themselves with the information leaflets passed out at the meeting.
Vulcan must build the incinerator if it is to continue producing penta because the Environmental Protection Agency is putting increasingly more restrictions on penta waste, and it could be banned eventually, said Helen Periliver of Greenpeace.
If built, the incinerator would burn sawdust from lumber mills and contaminated wood chips, along with leftover chemicals from Vulcan's customers. It would be the country's first private incinerator to burn chlorioxin-contaminated wastes.
Anthony Harvey of Plains Keepers said the problem should be a concern to Lawrence citizens. "There is an average of one truck having an accident on Kansas roads every three days," he said. "One could be a Penta truck."
LUTHERAN COMMISSION MINISTRY
Gov. Hayden Just Say No to Penta
PENTA IT'S POISON BURNED UNBURNED
Larry Zuckerman, an aquatic ecologist for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, talks about pentachlorophenol.
Ed Hoeller, a personnel manager of Vulcan, said he went to the meeting because it was public and he wanted to know what was being said about Vulcan.
"Penta is a poison, but it is only harmful if it is misused," he said. "We don't misuse it. We sell it to our customers, and I am reasonably sure they don't misuse it."
Larry Zuckerman, an aquatic ecologist working for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said at the meeting that penta is toxic and linked to birth defects, cancer
and liver problems. He said, however, that his department cannot do anything until it sees Vulcan's projections for the incinerator.
Water supply adequate despite record demand
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
Thanks to the hot, dry weather, the city of Lawrence is pumping water at a record rate, but no rationing is in sight.
The record, set on Monday, is 20,610,000 gallons of water pumped in one day. The previous record was 20,429,000 gallons, set on July 22, 1983.
"We're pumping in so much water that we're actually reversing the flow," said Bob Leach, the city's assistant utilities director.
city's assistant. However, that does not mean water can be wasted. The city is asking that everyone use no more than necessary when watering their yards or gardens.
"We're pumping so much water, but I hate to see people waste it." Leach said. "Don't keep watering in one spot or water so much that water flows down the gullies. When we're pumping so much, bothers me to see that happen. With normal usage, we can avoid having to ration water."
The city will not need to limit water usage as long as the water level is in Clinton Lake and the Kansas River, which supply the
city's water, remain adequate. Leach said.
The city's two pumping stations can pump more than 27 million gallons of water a day if water levels are not low and there is no mechanical failure.
The University of Kansas, which is considered a high-pressure site (one that uses large quantities of water), will continue to water the campus on a normal basis.
"We work with the city real closely," said Mike Richardson, associate director of facilities and operations. "We will continue to water because if we don't, we may end up getting a lot of water-line breaks (because of the pressure on old lines)."
Steve Cater, KU environmental health and safety officer, said because of the increase in pressure and rust in the pipes, water may be discolored when a tap is first turned on after sitting idle for a while.
That does not mean the water is not pure, Leach said. However, if the water is extremely orange in color, he suggested not washing laundry with it because it will stain.

Jackson supporters say campaign discriminated
Kansan staff writer
By Jeff Pitcher
Cadue, an American Indian, said yesterday that his name was removed in May from the list of atlarge delegates for racially motivated reasons.
Sick, a local Jackson supporter who is legally blind, said that he thought his name was removed because of his handicap.
An affirmative action challenge filed against leaders of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Kansas campaign was decided last week, and the complainants now must appeal to the Democratic National Convention next month in Atlanta.
The complaint, written by Caduse and Slick, challenged the authority of the Rev. Edward Freeman, a Jackson campaign representative, to arbitrarily scratch names from the
next month in Arkansas. Steve Cadue and Patrick Slick, both from Lawrence, filed an affirmative action challenge that accused state Jackson campaign officials of discrimination.

Names are only deleted, normally,

isn't a true supporter of the candidate.
Slick said.
Both Cadue and Slick said they were still staunch supporters of Jackson.
The decision reached last week by the state Democratic headquarters said that Freeman was the campaign's designated representative and had the power to remove names from the list.
Joseph Scranton, executive director of the Kansas delegate selection plan, said he empathized with Cadue's plight but that there was nothing his office could do about it.
"It's a matter that will have to go to the national convention." Scarenton said. "They made the rules and we don't have anything to do with that."
Cadue said he sent a reply to Scranton concerning the decision and said he planned to take his challenge to the Democratic National Convention
Regents to consider budget request

About half the budget request is for program maintenance, which is the amount of state finance necessary to keep KU in pace with its peer universities, said Tom Rawson, associate vice chancellor for administration and finance.
"KU needs the program maintenance funding just so that we can remain at the level we're at now," he said. "It's the basic operating cost of the University."

The peer universities, schools similar to KU in size, scope and mission,

In addition to program maintenance money, KU administrators will be asking for about $3.5 million under the second year of the Margin of Excellence. The Margin of Excellence program is designed to raise KU to the level of its peer schools in terms of state funding, Rawson said.
and student aids
Also included in the $11 million request are about $600,000 to service of new buildings on campus, $1.8 million for enrollment increases and $150,000 to increase graduate teaching assistant fee waivers from 75 percent to 100 percent.
About $2 million of that would go to faculty salary increases and about $1.5 million would go to mission-related enhancements, which include scientific equipment, minority assistance, research, libraries, museums and student services.
KU's $5.3 million proposal for program maintenance financing is larger than any of the other Regents schools. Among the larger schools, Kansas State University is requesting almost $5 million, and Wichita State University is requesting almost $2.3 million.
The proposal is scheduled to be voted on in the Kansas Legislature in April.
Rawson said that the proposal was very realistic, and because 83 percent of last year's request was approved, there was a good chance that this budget would be accepted by the Legislature.

AIDS task force gets StudEx support for fall
By Carla Krause
Kansan staff writer
After hearing a report on the Student Senate Task Force on AIDS, the Student Executive Committee on Sunday voted unanimously to continue the task force
Michael Foubert, task force chairman, recommended that the task force attempt to have its members visit campus living groups this fall to distribute AIDS information and establish one-on-one peer counseling for students.
Also, Foubert recommended that Senate add representatives from living groups to the task force and remove some representatives from Senate committees. Foubert said he hoped that would give the student body a larger voice on the task force.
The committee voted to amend Foubert's recommendation by placing a member of the Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas on tha
task force if that group was interested. Foubert said he had not included the organization in his recommendation because he wanted to end misconceptions about AIDS.
Foubert said he expected some opposition on the programs from students and officials who "place more emphasis on moral strictness than on AIDS prevention and education, and on human life."
Foubert said that one KU student died of AIDS this spring and that there were others who had tested positive.
"Gino cliches (such as 'sex is never an emergency') will be meaningsless when the next KU student dies of AIDS," he said in the report.

Invasion of privacy is also endangering woman's life
A case now being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court involves the publication of the name of a San Diego woman who returned home to find her roommate dead and an intruder in the apartment. The woman was so shocked by her roommate's death that she allowed the man to escape.
The next day, the San Diego County edition of the Los Angeles Times identified this woman by name as having found the victim's body. A year later, she filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Times, charging invasion of privacy and negligence for revealing her identity.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, charged that publication of her name made her a "walking target" for the intruder, who has not been apprehended. Lawyers for the Times argued that the courts had given newspapers an absolute right to publish accurate information about public events. They went on to say that because the event was newsworthy, the newspaper was required to publish the name of the woman.
The event was newsworthy, yes. But publishing on the day after the event the name of the only witness who could positively identify the supposed killer was wrong $ ^{a} $
The Times was, in effect, saying to this man, "Oh, by the way, in case you didn't catch the name of the woman who can nail you as the killer, we'll give it to you." This is certainly an invasion of privacy, and it is certainly negligence. The woman's life was in danger because her name was in print as the roommate of the victim.
A judge in California's 4th District Court ruled in February that a jury, not a judge, should decide whether publishing the real name of the witness was indeed newsworthy. "The individual's safety and the state's interest in conducting a criminal investigation may take precedence over the public's right to know the name of the individual," the court said.
The California Supreme Court on May 19 rejected an appeal of the case. Now on board the crusade to justify publishing the name of this innocent woman are the New York Times, the Washington Post, CBS and several other high-ranking, efficient news organizations. They charge that the court's decision gave juries the power to play "super-editor," deciding what to print and what not to.
But they are missing the point. The issue that they would like to make of this case is that it is only an example of a newsworthy event, nothing more. Lawyers for these organizations have compared the case with other news events in which names have been published. "She walked upon the public stage," one lawyer said. But this is not a case of witnessing a fire or watching a gang fight. This is endangering the life of a woman who should have been protected.

would distort the history of preceding centuries.
These questions are in vogue in the nation's universities. A growing revisionist movement aims to restructure the literature taught in core curriculum English classes to include minority, women and non-Western writers.
Both sides of the dispute agree racism and sexism in our culture have resulted in white males traditionally having been better educated and freer to be creative. But the revisionists, eager to set things right in the 20th century, are proposing measures that
By seeking to equalize the representation of women and minority authors at the expense of the writers who now constitute the core curriculum, the revisionists would promote a false vision of our cultural history. There is no doubt that women, for example, have always been creative. But their creativity did not materially affect the direction of our culture until recent times.
Yet, the purpose of the core curriculum, and one of the major purposes of a liberal arts education, is to show students the directions our culture has taken, hence, the predominance of white male
authors.
Jane Tompkins, a leader of the revisionist movement and an English professor at Duke University, has justified her efforts by saying, "We wanted to talk about civil rights in the classroom, to prove that literature wasn't a sacred icon above the heat and dust of conflict."
Virtually all the works the revisionists are so eager to replace grapple with what one philosopher called the final question: "What does it mean to be human?" Yet there is no doubt that writers like James Baldwin, Flannery O'Connor, Toni Morrison and Richard Wright have tackled the same question.
In core curricula, however, the academy must teach students to analyze the highest examples of literary achievement in Western culture — the works of Dante, Shakespeare and the rest of the greats. From this foundation, we can understand and put into perspective the works of more recent authors.
To substitute the classics for more "representative" works of more immediate "relevance" is to mindlessly follow quotas. This sort of thinking subverts the kind of education it is attempting to enhance.
Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign not expecting to win

An aspiring movie producer once showed some samples of his work to Mel Brooks, today's king of slapstick, and solicited his expert opinion. Mr. Brooks watched with a grave air, then rendered his considered judgment. "Well," he said, "it's the sort of thing that has to be tried over and over again until it's abandoned."
Jesse Jackson is clearly set on trying over and over again, but he's not about to abandon his presidential campaign. Anybody wondering why he doesn't quit, now that he has no chance at the nomination, doesn't understand the point of a Jesse Jackson campaign. It isn't winning; it's running. Nobody ever pretended that Jesse Jackson's politics had anything to do with governing. His record is as devoid of political office as it is of administrative expertise. In the grand tradition of American demagogues, he is at home baiting power, not exercising it.
There is no doubling the Reverend's ability to move a crowd. Not since George Wallace's heyday has a racially-based campaign grown into such a generally populist appeal. But he has a lot more in common with the great orators of American politics than with the great'
sutmen. Jesse Jackson is closer to William Jennings Bryan than Franklin Roosevelt. When the Reverend isn't rhyming, there's no more affecting orator on the stump today. Just listen to this passage:
"No matter what Reagan and Bush may say, most poor people are not on welfare. They work every day. They take the early bus. They work every day.
"They care for other people's babies, and they can't watch their own. They cook other people's food and carry leftovers home. They work every day.
"They are janitors running the buffing machines; they are nurses cleaning the floors."
"They put on uniforms and are considered less than a person. They change beds in the hotels, Sweep our streets. Clean the schools for our children. They're called lazy, but they work every day. They work in hospitals. They mop the floors. They clean the commodes, the bedpans. They work every day. No job is beneath them. And yet, when they get sick, they cannot afford to lie in the bed they've made up every day."
sick. A loaf of bread is no cheaper for them than it is for the doctor. They work every day.
You would need a heart of stone not to respond to that kind of appeal. The only thing missing is the leader to go with the oratory. For once you get
denial the winters, we only use Jascon. The large-scale enterprise he was associated with, PUSHEXCL, was dedicated to helping the poor and in practice seems to have helped mainly itself. It collected a reported $4.9 million in federal money during the Carter administration to help poor students. In 1963, a federal audit disallowed $2.1 million in expenditures. That amount was later reduced; but, at last report, the organization still owed the Education Department $850,000, the Labor Department $557,000 and the Commerce Department $38,647.
The fine speeches grow faint when you examine the record of the speaker.
The financing of his organization was a scandal, from the handsome salary collected by Jackson himself, to the hundreds of thousands extracted from the Arab League. To quote the Christian Science Monitor, Jesse Jackson "preconditioned black political support for the Arab cause in the United States on Arab support for the black cause. If that were not forthcoming, Mr. Jackson threatened, 'we will all learn to recite the alphabet without the letters P.L.O.' The threat worked, and Mr. Jackson has kept his side of the bargain."
The income tax returns that the Reverend and Mrs. Jackson have just released show them making
20,000 last year, most of it through Personalities International Inc., which handles the Reverend's public appearances and publications. According to the return, they gave $2,145 to charity, or less than 1 percent. The fine words about helping the poor and needy grow almost inaudible.
This is the same Jesse Jackson who shamelessly exploited his presence, debatably, near Martin Luther King Jr., when the hero of the civil rights movement was shot on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. Coretta Scott King may not have forgiven Jesse Jackson for that yet, even if Hosea Williams finally did.
The rise of Jesse Jackson on the lecture circuit and in American politics (the two are not easy to separate), is a sordid story, marked by opportunism and manipulation. In the end, what the Reverend Jackson "is" speaks so loudly that his words and the man don't go together; they are not one. This is called, literally, a lack of integrity. Yes, you would need a heart of stone not to be moved by some of the things Jesse Jackson says. But to apprehend this man's record and still vote to let him run the country, you would need a head of stone.
To change the status quo requires more than a gift for elevating one's own status. Jesse Jackson has gained
great influence in the nominating process by largely eliminating the influence of the black vote in that same process.
His has been a great success story in the worst American sense of the word — in the sense of material gain, political influence and personal fame, but not in any other.
If the Democrats win, Mr. Jackson can expect a reward in the form of an appointment to some prominent if not substantial office. Somebody has suggested secretary of charisma. Perfect. Just don't let him have anything to do with spending public funds.
Jesse Jackson is well on his way to becoming this era's equivalent of William Jennings Bryan: a permanent presidential candidate who cannot win but who must be mollified at every Democratic National Convention. That's why there is little likelihood that Jesse Jackson will abandon his campaign this presidential year or any other. It's a great career, being your party's stumbling block. As the late Richard Hoffstader, that sage historian of Populism, once wrote of William Jennings Bryan: "It was never success that he demanded, but an audience . . ."

No easy answers for winning the war on drugs
By Kathleen Faddis
Staff
Columnist
Michael Dukakis, who has at least mathematically secured the Democratic presidential nomination, said the "greatest threat to our nation is not the Nicaraguan government, but the avalanche of drugs pouring into our country."
It is a war that has been declared over and over by innumerable politicians and elected officials. And we have been fighting it unsuccessfully for about the last 20 years. It is the war on drugs.
In recent months, stopping drug use has become a popular bandwagon for politicians who hope to ride it into office.
The United States is at war.
drugs pool. Speaking to the Coast Guard Academy last month, President Reagan called drugs the "foremost concern in our country."
And they are not all wrong. Drug abuse is a weighty problem that deserves serious attention by lawmakers. Aside from the normal deaths from drug abuse and drug-related crimes, the spread of AIDS, especially in cities, has been primarily among intravenous drug users, women who sleep with drug addicts and the children of both of these groups.
Increase in violent crime has also been an unhappy result of drug abuse. A study by the U.S.
The falling battle has prompted some, including columnists William F. Buckley and Richard Cohen, members of the American Civil Liberties Union and the mayors of Baltimore and Washington, to lose cause and suggest provoking the profit mode for dealing in illegal drugs by legalizing them.
But the current all-out frontal assault on the drug pushers and users being carried out by law enforcement agencies is not working. For every pusher that is jailed or killed, countless others are on the street to take his place.
Justice Department in January showed that well more than half of all men arrested on serious crimes in a dozen cities tested positive for illegal drugs. In New York, that percentage increased to nearly 80 percent.
Although in some cases a peaceful surrender is a reasonable solution and can save lives, this would not be true of a surrender in the drug war. The new weapon could be used by such a move would far outweigh any benefits.
An important question to be answered by legalization advocates would be which drugs to legalize. Heroin? PCP? Crack?
A suggestion has been made by some that only heroin be made legal and available to addicts. This has already been tried in the form of methadone. For nearly 20 years, government-subsidized programs have handed out methadone, a synthetic narcotic that is supposed to block the need for
heroin and allow normal functioning. In fact, methadone causes an addiction even more insidious than heroin and does little to block the urge to use other drugs.
Urban methadone programs frequently become a breeding ground for crime and drug dealing. All kinds of drugs, including the methadone just obtained inside, are bought and sold outside the doors of the clinic. Addicts on the program often are kept on large doses of the drug so that they stay
We cannot stop arresting those who traffic in drugs, but we will not eliminate the demand for drugs by arresting the pushers. We need to continue early education about drug abuse in the schools. More low-cost or free drug treatment needs to be made available. Most treatment programs are beyond the reach of those without medical insurance.
And drug abuse cannot be treated in a vacuum. It is often a symptom of other problems, including unemployment, illiteracy, hunger, lack of opportunity, homelessness and the hopeless cycle of poverty caused by the welfare system. All of these underlying social problems also will need to be dealt with by the lawmakers so anxious to stop drug abuse before we will begin to start winning this war.

Theater group holds auction
By Linda Gaumnitz
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Friends of the Theatre and supporters of the KU University Theatre are optimistic that proceeds from a benefit Saturday will fulfill their $10,000 endowment fund goal.
Although final tabulations are still being made, Nancy Kaiser-Cplan, co-chairman of the benefit's steering committee, said that the benefit money left after expenses would be used to establish an endowment fund for the Friends of the Theatre/Reese Sariks Memorial Scholarship.
"We needed to raise $10,000 to establish the endowment fund, so that the interest earned would support the $1,000 scholarship." Kaiser Caplan said. "The benefit was wonderful. The amount of response we had far exceeded my expectations."
the benefit, titled "A Mid-Summer Night's Magic," featured cocktails, a six-course dinner and an auction of items donated by local businesses. The benefit was at the Eldrige Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
"Overall, the benefit surpassed my initial expectations in terms of the number of businesses and community members that gave of their time and money," said Charla Jenkins, chairman of publicity.
Kaiser-Caplan, who earned a Master of Fine Arts at the University of
Kansas in 1982, said she had been planning the benefit since September. She presented her proposal to the group's board of directors in December and started working on details in January.
"It was hard for the board to visualize the fund-raiser because of the scale of it," Kaiser-Cplain said. "I thought it was met with a lot of enthusiasm."
Kaiser-Caplaan said that several businesses donated money for the project and that primary funding came from a $2,000 award from Quaker Oats of Lawrence.
"Steve Wiley, the plant manager, was very involved for Quaker Oats," she said. "We knew that the money they gave us would basically cover some of expenses, so that we could keep ticket prices low."
Out of 2,000 invitations sent out, 170 Lawrence area politicians, businessmen and University of Kansas faculty attended the benefit. Tickets sold for $35 a plate.
we ingrue we did pretty well to get a 10 percent return on something like this," Jenkins said. "The benefit definitely increased the awareness of the theatre department. It was heard to get as much support as we did."
Local artists donated pieces of their work to be used as centerpieces on the dinner tables. Benefit patrons
then bought the tables from the steering committee in addition to their tickets.
"We wanted to establish a relationship between the theater and the visual artists." Kaiser-Caplan said. "We selected artists that worked in a variety of mediums, and wanted them to think in theatrical terms."
Titles for the auction items came from the names of songs, plays or movies, such as "The Last Picture Show," a package that included movie tickets. Other items up for billed ranged from dinner at Johnny's Tavern to a mink coat that went for $3,000.
"We were a little worried because we didn't know if people would vote on all the items." Kaiser-Caplan said. "We had about $15,000 worth of merchandise, and grossed over $11,500. Some items sold for under cost, some went over. But everything went well."
For the past three years, the group had had a similar benefit to raise money for the Sariks scholarship fund, but nothing quite as ambitious, said Ronald A. Willis, director of the University Theatre.
"This benefit was an escalation of earlier fund-raisers." Willis said. "We felt it was a worthwhile venture. The intelligence and imagination used in getting this together was just a delight to behold."

Glass Onion Grill Offer expires July 6, 1988

While University of Kansas students are working, relaxing or taking a few classes this summer, 30 KU students in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps are becoming warriors.
Camp Warrior '88 began June 6 at Fort Riley. About 450 students from the United States and Puerto Rico arrive each week. By July 27, about 2,700 cadets will have graduated from the camp.
The physical training is grueling, with calisthenics and running as early as 5:30 a.m. Amid the heat, dust and insects, there's never a dull minute.
"What are you looking at?" an officer screams an inch from a cadet's face.
Glass Onion Grill
Although the camp is voluntary, students in the ROTC program must complete it before they can enter active duty as officers in the U.S. Army. Otherwise, they become enlisted soldiers.
During their 42-day stay at Camp Forsyth, a part of Fort Riley, the cadets receive intensive leadership training and evaluation.
"The cadets here are treated as potential officers, although they go through some stuff they would if they were in boot camp," said Maj E.T. Magdziac, an instructor of military air force at the University of Puerto Rico.
There is a significant difference between Camp Warrior and training camp for enlisted men.
"Nothing, sir!" a cadet hollers back.
Leadership and safety are stressed throughout the program. Before each exercise, a commanding officer instructs the cadets in the safety precautions they should take during it.
"We assign a risk factor to each
exercise”,” Magdziac said. “There are a lot of variables that can affect the safety. The heat is one. As it goes up, so does the risk factor.”
One exercise, the Leadership
kickoff test to test
the cadets' understaffing.
*
The cadets, each a member of a 10-man unit, are assigned to complete 12 problems. Their goal is to finish in the least time with the greatest amount of safety precautions.
While one unit tries to cross a simulated river with 55-gallon drums, another unit attempts to escape from a simulated prison complete with a moat and a siren that sounds when it detects movement.
Almost all the problems involve water obstacles, and when the temperature hovers around 100 degrees most cadets fall happily fully clothed into the water.
At each problem there is an instructor who evaluates the cadets and gives them safety instructions. After the completion of the exercise, each cadet is evaluated for initiative, delegation, problem analysis, judgment and other leadership attributes.
William Wagner, Lawrence senior,
completed the course and said he
"It's not bad here," he said. "I'm learning a lot, but I'm looking forward to going home and partying with my friends."
The cadets don't get much free time. They're up at 5 a.m. and busy most of the day. Occasionally, between tear-gas training and repelling off 50-foot towers, the cadets find themselves without an official assignment. This is called commander's time.

A cadet leader waits with his company for orders to begin another day's training. The cadets were participating in the Army ROTC Leadership Reaction Course at Fort Riley on Sunday.
"I usually shine my boots and clean the barracks when we get some free time," Wagner said.

Drought raising prices
Increases not as bad as feared, officials say
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Drought is causing an increase in consumer food prices this year but not by the great inflationary leap that some have feared, the Department of Agriculture said yesterday.
"If the drought continues, food prices will rise but the increases are likely to be moderate," a senior USDA economist reported. "The effects of such higher food prices on the overall rate of inflation would be negligible."
The report was prepared by Ewen M. Wilson, assistant secretary for Economics, who acknowledged that "much of the nation's cropland has been gripped by a searing drought which threatens to imperil this summer's crop harvest."
Although the forecast will be revised next month, a preliminary analysis shows that 1988 food prices might rise by an average of 3 percent to 5 percent, the report said. Until the drought, USDA economists predicted that the increase would be in the range of 2 percent to 4 percent, compared with a 4.1 percent gain in 1987.
Wilson added that the prospect of reduced production has driven up the
farm prices of crops and that shriveled forage supplies have forced many producers to reduce their livestock inventories.
As a result, there has been apprehension over the possibilities of food price increases and even renewed inflation, Wilson said.
"We will see some price runups in certain foods," he said. "For example, pasta products made from durum wheat and oats-based cereals, but overall food price inflation in 1988 will be held to moderate levels."
Food accounts for about 16 percent of the government's Consumer Price Index which is used to gauge changes in living costs for urban consumers.
Wilson added: "Then upward adjustment of our food price estimate will have a negligible impact on the overall rate of inflation in the United States."
Food prepared at home accounts for about 10 percent of the overall CPI, and food purchased or consumed away from home, mainly restaurant meals, accounts for 6 percent.
"Since food accounts for 16 percent of the overall CPI, a 1 percent boost in food prices translates into an increase of less than two-tenths of 1
percent in the overall CPI." Wilson said, "However, inflation is a monetary phenomenon dependent upon monetary policy. There is no reason to believe that a one-time drought-induced boost in farm commodity prices will lead to higher overall inflation. The metal markets and oil prices continue to be well behaved, and wage increases are moderate."
Wilson said higher commodity prices this year "will bring about a production response" in 1889.
According to USDA records, a rise of 3 percent to 5 percent would be the sharpest since food prices rose an average of 7.9 percent in 1981 as the nation's general inflation spiral was winding down.
More than 78 million acres of U.S. farmland have been taken from production this year under federal programs, including 24 million acres in a long-term Conservation Reserve Program.
"The immediate problem is not one of food shortages or food price inflation, except in certain specific instances, but rather the problem is one of responding in a compassionate way to the losses faced by American farmers," Wilson said.
Grain prices high Farmers may find profit in dry weather

The high prices reflect fears that drought will curb harvests. Still, agriculture officials said timely rains could save most of the crop.
Eric Wahl, who raises corn, soybeans and hogs at Monticello in northeast Iowa, said his farm had not had any significant rain in more than two weeks.
- Extra storage space available.
- Gas and water paid.
In the meantime, despite grain prices nearly twice last year's highs, farmers are apprehensive, said Peter Brent, who coordinates a hot line for troubled farmers for the rural advocacy group Prairiefire. "Everybody's sitting tight, praying it will rain."
With corn prices going up, there will be less drain on the U.S. Treasury as federal deficiency payments to farmers shrink, Wisner said. Deficiency payments represent the difference between the government's target price for corn, $2.93 a bushel in 1988, and the market price received by farmers enrolled in the farm program.
In Iowa, which was swettering through its third straight day of triple-digit temperatures, soybean prices rose to an 11-year high at elevators yesterday, with binder rose to its highest price since September 1884, with bids of more than $3 a bushel common.
“For consumers it's almost certain to mean some increase in food costs,” he said if it is too early to say what we should do on how long the dry weather lasts.”
Apartments
The big winners of the drought would be farmers with reasonably good crops and large carryrovers from previous harvests, Wisner said.
The U.S. Treasury also could benefit if the dry spell continues over the nation's Grain Belt, but "agriculture as a total would be a net loser," Iowa State University economist Robert Wisner said.
off the corn leaves," he said.
- Applianced kitchen.
DES MOINES, Iowa — If winners emerge from the drought that has sent grain prices soaring, they will be farmers lucky enough to keep crops intact and those with surpluses from previous harvests, a farm economist said yesterday.
Wahl said he'd like to cash in on the rising grain prices, but wasn't sure he'd have much to harvest. He said he would need his stored corn to feed his livestock.
- Off-street parking.
Farmers who do have grain to sell also are facing tough decisions — whether to sell now or wait for even higher prices, knowing that any return to normal rainfall would wash out the price rally.

"I'd just as soon forget about it," Krebs said yesterday. "Luckily, it was just a minor fire. It just burned a little corner of the field."
"He lost a couple acres of wheat in about 10 minutes." Beckemeyer fire chief Vincent Pollman said.
Pollman said there was not much farmers could do to prevent those kinds of fires when fields become parched. Dry, brittle grass and straw need little to be in drought conditions, he said.
"All it takes is a spark from a hot muffler, or for a bearing to go out and heat up." Pollman said. "As dry as it's been around here, I'm surprised we haven't had more calls this summer. We need a good rain."

New Regents Center planned
KU administrators estimate new building will cost $5 million
By Michael Shunk
Kansan staff writer
For the students and faculty who have been putting up with the crowded, outdated Regents Center, relief is in sight. University of Kansas administrators are looking for land on which to build a new, improved center.
The estimated cost for the project is $5 million.
The proposal is mostly a response to the need for more space at the center, said Mary Gersh, assistant vice chancellor of the Regents Center. The new center will be able to accommodate the expanding needs of the graduate students, who compose most of the enrollment, and upper-level undergraduates.
The Regents Center, which is in an old elementary school building in Overland Park, provides classes for about 1.500 students during the fall
and spring semesters and about 900 in the summer, Gersh said. These numbers have remained stable in recent years because of insufficient classroom space.
Gersh said that when the new building opened, she would expect enrollment to increase by about one-third.
In addition to increased space, the building will be able to accommodate advanced telecommunications equipment.
The project also will enable the Regents Center and the Kansas City branch of the Division of Continuing Education, which are now several blocks apart, to be consolidated into one building.
"In the past few years, the financial condition of the state of Kansas has been dire, and if the whole state is in trouble, that is reflected in the funding provided to academic institutions." Gersh said
"However, recently there has been a recognition that, to keep the talented young people in the state, we must donate to our financial institutions. Programs such as the Margin of Excellence are good, not only for the educational institutions involved, but also for the whole state."
The money for the new Regents Center will be gathered from a combination of private and state funding, she said.
Ed Meyen, dean of education, said that the new center would be a benefit to everyone involved.
Meyen said the improved design of the building would enable it to accommodate advanced teaching methods as well as advanced technology.
"It will make teaching more exciting and learning more effective," he said.
Appeal likely on Wolf Creek ruling
The Associated Press
A member of a Lawrence anti-nuclear group said yesterday he probably would appeal a Shawnee County District judge's order that confidential files about problems at the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant be returned to Kansas Gas and Electric and their contents be kept secret.
"The public has a right to see those files," said Bob Eye, lawyer for the president of the Nuclear Awareness Network.
Judge James M. Macish Jr. also granted a permanent restraining order preventing the NAN from disseminating the information in the Quality First files in its possession.
K&GE began the Quality First program in March 1984 as a way for workers to report confidentially any concerns they had about the plant's construction.
er's possession. Some of the contents of those files were revealed in the Capital-Journal on April 3.
"We held on to them for a reasonable amount of time and gave (KG&E) an opportunity to respond, then we disposed of them in a responsible manner," said Mike Ryan, the Capital-Journal reporter who wrote the story about the files.
Copies of other Quality First files mailed to the Topeka Campus Journal are no longer in that newspap-

Bear finds new home in tree as city waits
up there," said Jason La Flamme, who works in Town Hall. "It was resting comfortably."
LITTLETON, N.H. — A young adult bear found itself in an embarrassing spot yesterday morning — treed at a downtown intersection.
Someone on the way to work reported the bear, estimated to weigh about 300 pounds, about 500 feet from Town Hall in this North Country community of about 6,000 residents.
"I went directly underneath the tree and saw a bunch of brown fur
A police officer said he had spotted the bear in the early morning hours on the ground. Police speculated the patrol car may have frightened the bear up the tree.
Police and state Fish and Game Department officials said yesterday afternoon that they were "monitoring the situation" because they couldn't figure out what else to do.

First part of science library completed
By Linda Gaumnitz Kansan staff writer
Construction projects at the University of Kansas are proceeding on schedule, and the Kansas red cedar tree sitting on top of the science library's steel shell is one sign.
The juniper, placed on the shell June 10, signifies the completion of the library's steel girder skeleton, said Stan Claassen, project director for R.D. Anderson Construction of Topeka.
"Putting the tree on top of a building's structure is kind of a tradition," Claassen said. "We saw some construction companies do it in Denver and Kansas City, and we just picked up on it.
"We've gotten through the hard part, building out of the ground. The rest is just finishing off the construction."
Claassen said the library's 91,000 square feet of open study areas and study rooms would be completed in July 1989.
Snow Hall is undergoing renovation to make room for the mathematics and computer science departments.
William Bulgen, professor of computer sciences, said more classrooms and research labs would be available for faculty and students.
"The nicest feature of the building will be a data and voice communication system which allows any computer to talk to any other computer in the building," he said. "It will truly be a modern facility."
Allen Wiechert, director of Facilities Planning, said the first phase of construction, gutting out and remodeling the 65-year-old wing of the building will be completed in August, and renovation will be completed by next fall.
"Construction started primarily to make space for the math and computer science departments which are now into Strong Hall." Wiechert, said.
Doug Riat, assistant director of Facilities Planning, said the road construction behind Stauffer-Flint Hall would be completed by August 19.

Music campers get chance to perform
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
Junior high and high school students who are attending the Midwestern Music Camp this week at the University of Kansas are getting an early taste of college life.
"It it's, tiring and sweaty," said Mike Norris, a ninth-grader from Broken Arrow, Okla. "But it's fun, and I learn a lot."
Students have been coming to the camp since 1935, said Heather Enos, administrative camp assistant. About 300 students come to the camp weekly. This year, several students are from other countries.
Instructors and conductors come from KU and from high schools and universities across the country.
"We do have some great guest conductors," Enos said. "We have Colonel Arnald Gabriel. He is quite distinguished."
Gabriel was the director of the U.S. Air Force Band, said David Busheh, camp director. Gabriel now is director at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.
Jorge Perez-Gomez, director of orchestra at KU, will instruct high school students when they arrive June 26. Perez-Gomez said that he taught high school students the same way he taught KU students. A camp such as the Midwestern Music Camp prepares students for college, he said.
"They need to get a good grasp that things are different at a university,
such things" as the size of the orchestra," he said.
The campers have recitals Fridays and Satdays in Murphy Hall.
Bob Asher, a ninth-grader from Kansas City, Mo., said that he wasn't worried about performing in public because he had performed at school before. But Paul Schearf, a ninth-grader from Omaha, Neb., said he would be nervous when he had to perform.
Perez-Gomez said that the recitals were well attended last year.
"The recitals are a way for the kids to prove themselves in front of an unknown audience and environment" he said.
Junior high students can attend the camp for one or two weeks, and senior high students can attend for two or four weeks. The second week of junior high camp began Sunday and the senior high camp will begin Tuesday.
Campers are kept busy with rehearsals and classes from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Many campers are staying at Oliver Hall.
Recitals are free and open to the public, Bushouse said. Band, orchestra, chair and piano concerts are 11 a.m. on Sundays in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre at Murphy Hall. Jazz ensemble concerts are 7 p.m. Fridays in the Swarthout Recital Hall at Murphy.
Even one week at the camp can be an intense learning experience, Perez-Gomez said.

Nature enthusiasts' artwork displayed Spencer exhibits collection
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
The Prairie Print Makers first got together on December 28, 1930, when 10 artists and one art enthusiast gathered at Birger Sanden's studio in Lindsborg to group together and create enthusiasm for the arts among the general public.
The group had two types of members: active members: the artists; and associate members: art enthusiasts. The associate members received a gift print, usually of a landscape or a person, made by an active member each year from 1931 to 1965 for a membership fee of five dollars, except 1963 because no gift was made.
The Prairie Print Makers exhibit is on loan from Bud and Ruby Jennings of Lawrence at the Spencer Museum of Art through Aug. 7.
Bud Jennings said he got involved in collecting prints from the Prairie Print Makers through his appreciation for the art of printing.
"Drugs, tobacco and alcohol are not the only things that are addictive," he said at a gallery talk Saturday at the museum.
The exhibit is special because it is the first time the 34 gift prints have been presented together. Also on exhibit are ten prints presented by the museum which were made before the group was formed.
Stephen Goddard, curator of prints and drawings at the museum, said the group didn't produce a print in 1963 because of their lack of enthusiasm.
"It's a group that started out with enthusiasm and vigor in the 1930s; as time went on, enthusiasm waned," said Goddard. "I assume they couldn't find artists to make a gift print."

Goddard said the group collapsed in 1965 because of the changing times.
"Like any art movement, they maybe ran out of steam," he said. "The world was changing, and so was their outlook."
Goddard said the group was heavily influenced by nature.
"There isn't any non-objective art in this show," he said. "It's fair to say their interest is dominantly landscape and figure."
Ruby Jennings said she and her husband had been collecting the prints for 10 years. They have found 96 of 100 other prints made by the 100-member group, one of them in Montreal.
Bob Jennings said he collected the prints because they had sentimental value for him. The actual value of the prints ranges from $25 to $2,000.
"It's art of the times, like a lady hanging out wash to dry," he said.
"It's understandable art. It depicts things you don't see anymore."
Ruby Jennings said the exhibit embodies enthusiasm for the art of painting.
"What this show really captures is the enjoyment the artists had making and working with prints," she said.

Martha, jogging around the pond, spies a young man lying on his back. From his brightly colored sweatpants, she concludes he is yet another victim of the jogging craze. He is breathing but doesn't look good. She asks if he is all right.
"Yea." Melvin says, as he lies on the ground, weak from the workout. "Why, don't I look all right?"
It's not the new Meryl Streep film being directed by Mike Nichols. It's 'Melvin Loses Weight,' an 11-minute film made by University of Kansas students, filmed Saturday on campus.
"Cutt!" yells the director. "This is all wrong, Jenny. Martha has just stopped jogging. You've got to be out of breath when you deliver your lines."
The film is about Melvin, a love-struck guy desperately trying to lose weight at the command of his overly righteous girlfriend.
"In the end, Melvin loses the weight," said David Yonally, Overland Park senior, who wrote and directed the film. "But it is physical weight he loses, it's mental weight. He gets out of a destructive relationship."
Melvin jogs to lose weight and meets Martha, also jogging to lose weight for her boyfriend.
"Everyone can identify with trying to lose weight," Yonally said, "and also being in a destructive relationship. That's what makes this film good."
Tim DePape, Emporia senior,
produced the film. He said "Melvin Loses Weight" was originally
produced on video. The response was so good that he and Yonally
decided to make it a film.
The film is made independently of the University by DePapee and Yonally.
Yonally said the film was a huge step technically and dramatically. They used a 16mm double system. The 16mm film is smaller than that of feature films, but the sound quality is the same. Yonally said.
DePaepe and Yonally have worked on five other projects together, including a fake commercial, "The Eject Alarm." They met while working on the set of "Fairy Tale," which was filmed in Lawrence two years ago. But they said this project was their best.
"I am so confident about how this will turn out that we could enter it in any festival," said Yonally. "And we couldn't have a better cast."
Ron Simonian, Overland Park senior, plays the overwrought Melvin. He said he had a lot of experience on stage but not with film.
Yonally and DePaepe. "This is first time I can honestly say that brown-nosing is for real," he said.
He said he enjoyed working with
Shannon Broderick, Leawood senior, plays the nagging girlfriend, Michelle. She said she enjoyed playing the role because Michelle was so much different from herself.
"I don't worry about my weight, and Michelle was blinded by this losing-weight obsession," she said.
Broderick said that the University didn't allow a lot of experience in film, yet in the past two years it had started to change.
"Any experience for a college student is great," she said. "Getting your feet wet in film is a valuable experience."
Martha, the young woman Melvin falls in love with, is played by Jenny Barrick of Overland Park. She plans to attend the University
of Arizona or a university in California, where she plans to major in theater. This is her first time working with DePape and Vyn
"Melvin Loses Weight" will premiere late next month, DePaepe said.
"We have been so busy with filming and planning that we haven't looked for a place to premiere the film," he said.

Art troupe has loud message
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
The message was clear, the photographs were moving, the illustrations were disturbing and the music was loud.
Review
In/Form, a performance art troupe from San Francisco, presented a powerful audio-visual message about perception and information to about 50 people Monday night at the Transmission Gallery, at 11 E. 8th St.
Hilary Binder, Chris Ranken and Candace Batycki used recorded and live music, illustrations, photographs and the spoken word to call for a decentralization of information sources and the need to question everything from advertisements to government ideology.
inner 45-minute, rather preachy, performance, called "The Bottom Line," focused on homelessness, poverty, drugs and the AIDS crisis.
The performance was thrown together in about a month, Battyki said. The piece was conceived for an anarchist convention in Ontario, Canada. The group plans to take its show to about 20 more cities in the United
States and then go to Canada.
While Ranken played the bass guitar and Binder gave her heart and soul to her drum set, Batycki, at first, assumed the role of a homeless person. She spoke the words and conveyed the misery of a person who was the victim of corrupt and inhumane government policies. But the driving music, although it was instrumental in creating an environment, often overpowered Batycki's words.
Later, In/Form explained its version of the origin of the AIDS epidemic. Batycki told about biological warfare laboratories and prisoners who volunteered to be used as guinea pigs in exchange for their freedom, while Ranken and Binder let out wailing screams in the background. Yes, they created an atmosphere that forced the audience to think, but we have to wonder whether what In/Form has to say is any more believable than the "centralized voices of information."
"Were drugs created to combat disease, or were diseases created to sell drugs?" Butycki asked the audience. It's an interesting question to ponder, but once again, cynicism can lead to a closed mind as easily as anything else.

Kansas foods a big hit at New York City store
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It's now, it's happening, its trend.
The cuisine of the Sunflower State, home of the Agricultural Hall of Fame, where cattle outnumber humans by more than two to one, has made a splash at Bloomingdale's, the unscale. New York-based emporium.
In a 39-day salute to "Land of Oz"
delicacies that ended Saturday,
Bloomies sold $150,000 worth of Kansan
gourmet specialties — the finest buffalo meat in the country, popping
corns that rival the best anywhere
and elegant cream cakes that melt in
the mouth.
There were also fresh catfish (raised on a farm) and gum-drops cookies that have appeared on the TV series "Family Ties."
"Not many people in the East know us as anything more than covered wagons," said Bob Storey, a lawyer from Topeka, Kan. who stopped by Boringdale's with his wife, Kerry, on a recent trip to Manhattan, N.Y.
Bloomingdale's reordered some Kansas goods as often as four times during the promotion at 15 of its stores. It will continue to sell the items and expects to ring up an additional $10,000 of Kansan goods
oy Dec. 31, said Bill Lane, merchandising manager for the store's gourmet food division.
Why did Bloomingdale's, which has already tipped its hat to Vermont, Louisiana and Oregon, pick Kansas for its fourth state promotion in as many years?
"When you think of maple syrup, you think of Vermont. When you think of Kansas, you really don't know," Lane said.
But the store found that Kansas has plenty of down-home food and an appealing mix of traditional farming values and pioneer spirit that appeals to its upscale urban customers.
The trend now is for nurturing,
comfort foods — a play on the food
you grew up with, a play on food you
understand by getting a dictionary.
Lane said.
By the end of the promotion, Lane estimated the store had sold 2,000 bottles of Louisisburg Cider Mill's sparkling apple and apple-cranberry juice, 1,800 bottles of Hayward's and Mom's barbecue sauces, 1,100 bottles of soynuts, 2,500 packages of Wallogalsky Milling pancake mix and 40 jars of pecan honey from the West Glen Honey Co.

Search committee starts the hunt
By the Kansan staff
Despite rumors to the contrary, Kansas athletic director Bob Frederick said interest in Larry Brown's former job had been high.
"I can't even hazard a guess with all the letters and telephone inquiries we've been getting." Frederick said. "We've had a good response."
Frederick and an eight-member search committee will meet this afternoon to discuss candidates to replace the men's basketball coach. Frederick said the committee would review the information it had gathered and discuss the interest level of the applicants.
Committee members are: Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs; Richard Konzem, assistant athletic director; Arno Knapper, professor of business; Ron McCurdy, assistant professor of music; Carole Zebas, professor of health, physical education and recreation; basketball player; junior and Kansas University Athletic Corporation board members Galen Fiss and Maurice King.
An extension of the application deadline from June 20 to Monday came because of a request by Affirmative Action, Frederick said.
"Unfortunately that led to rumors that I asked that the deadline be extended because we weren't getting enough good candidates," he said.
Brown, wife obtain divorce
Frederick said Kansas was looking
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — KU basketball coach Larry Brown, who resigned this month to become the coach of the San Antonio Spurs, and his wife, Barbara, have obtained a divorce in Wyandotte County District Court.
Court records indicated the divorce was granted Monday under Kansas' one-day emergency divorce procedure. In a petition to the Wyndote County court, the coach's attorney said the Brownas had been considering divorce for some time, but waited because of the sensitive nature of Larry Brown's occupation and his team's competition in the National College Athletic Association Tournament.
Kansas, not even ranked in the Top 20 when the NCAA Tournament began, beat Oklahoma in the title game April 4 in Kansas City, Mo.
In court records, Brown contended that media attention that would be drawn to a standard divorce proceeding could have harmed him and the Kansas basketball program.
Under Kansas' emergency divorce procedures, couples can skip the normal 60-day waiting period by proving they have tried to make the marriage work and have resolved all property, support and child custody issues. The Browns had no children.
for a coach with success on the NCAA Division I or professional level. He said Kansas had been contacting candidates.
An athletic department source said the top candidates appeared to be West Virginia coach Gale Catlett, ex-Kansas assistant coach Bob Hill and Southwest Missouri State coach Charlie Spoonhour.
Some of the most successful coaches in college basketball, including Gene Keady of Purdue, Eddie
Sutton of Kentucky and Bobby Cremins of Georgia Tech have said they weren't interested.
Basketball analyst Dick Vitale said that the pressure of replacing Brown, who had a 135-44 record at Kansas, helped some big name crowns a way.
"I just think the pressure to sustain what he's begun is going to be enormous," Vitale said. "If you're in a situation where you're at a big time program already, it's tough to get
Frederick said, "I'm sure that's a concern for some coaches, but I think we also have some opportunities here because of the success he had." I'd rather deal from a position of strength than a position of weakness on that."
yourself psyched up to move into that position."
Vitale said Kansas may have to settle for a Division I coach who wanted to move up to a better program. He said that Catlett had "a great chance" to get the job and that Spoonhour would be a good choice.
Hill, who was a Kansas assistant from 178 to 185, said he was interested in succeeding Brown.
"I worked there for eight years," he said. "Anyone who knows as much as I do about Kansas knows how great a situation it would be."
Hill was an interim coach of the New York Knicks in 1986 and coached the Topeka Sizzlers last season. He recently signed a three-year contract to coach a professional team in Bologna, Italy.
Asked if the contract would prevent him from taking another job, Hill said. "We'd have to address that problem if it arises."
Spoonhour, like Hill, said he hadn't been contacted about the coaching vacancy by Kansas. He would not say if he would be interested in the job if it were offered.
"I think we ought to wait on that," Spoonhour said.
KC beats Chicago, snaps losing streak
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Frank White drove in three runs with a home run and a double and Mark Gubieca won his fifth straight decision as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-2 to snap a four-game losing streak.
Gubicza, 10-5, became the American League's fifth 10-game winner, allowing eight hits in six innings. Jerry Don Gleaton and Steve Farr finished the game.
Jerry Reuss, 6-3, had his four-game winning streak broken.
The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the first when Kurt Stillwell led off with a walk and scored on George Brett's double. The White Sox tied the game in the second on Dan Pasquale's sixth home run but the Royals scored three times in the fourth.
With one out, Danny Tartabul singled to left and advanced to second when Reuss walked Kein Seltzer. Pat Tabler forced Seltzer but he failed. He drove in two runs, and then scored on Mike MacFarlane's single.
White hit his fifth home run in the sixth, giving Kansas City a 5-1 lead. The White Sox scored a run in the sixth on Ozzie Guillen's double play grounder with the bases loaded but struck his 12th home run in the seventh.
In the seventh inning, White committed his first error since Sept. 22, 1987, a span covering 63 games.

At teast six Jayhawk swimmers will contend for a spot on the 1988 Olympic team, and a plane ticket to Seoul, South Korea.
Three of those Olympic hopefuls, Barbara Ann Smith, Glenn Trammel and Todd Neugent, are training with Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempt in Lawrence for the August 8-12 trials.
Smith, Mequon. Wis., senior, qualified in the 400-meter individual medley, and hopes to qualify in the 800-meter freestyle.
"If I make the cut, I make the cut," said Smith, who participated in the 1984 Olympic trials, "but if I don't, that’s fine. It’d be really exciting to place in the top eight, but the most important thing to me is to have
Trammel, Topea senior, two-time All-American and one of the top eight backstrokers in the United States, qualified for the 100 and 200 backstroke and is close to qualifying in the freestyle and 200 individual medley.
Neugent, who graduated this spring, was also a competitor in the 1984 trials. He qualified in the 200 breast stroke.
Kempf said, "Competing in the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime shot. We want to spend the summer concentrating on the swimmer's best event. We need to do a lot of specialized work, pick up speed and start resting through the taper."
The top eight finalists in each event compete for the two spots available on the Olympic squad, Kempf said.
"Everyone at the trials has an outside shot," Kempf said. "All you can ever do is ask for a chance to compete, and you've got to maximize that chance. On any given day, you may be feeling well or feeling sick, and swim fast or swim slow."
Trammel said, "Right now, I'm probably in the best physical shape that I've ever been in. I'm confident
and pleased with where I am now
"At this level, there are no standouts as far as physical ability. The one who wins the race will be the one who wants it the most."
Neugent said that the Jayhawks were swimming about 6,000 meters a day. About five to six weeks before the trials, the swimmers will begin the tapering process and cut down the dyardage.
"As it gets closer to the meet, we'll begin cutting down on everything." Neugent said. "During the last week or two of practice, we'll warm up, do a bit of easy stroke work and pop some scrips."
Last weekend, Tramnel and Neugent competed in the Mission Viejo International meet in Mission Viejo, Cal. Trammel placed third in the 100-meter backstroke with a 59.67
time.
Kempf said the meet, which was considered a major pre-trials contest, was good experience for them.
In order to train for the trials, Kemp said the swimmers needed to swim faster times and shorter distances.
"The United States Olympic trials is the fastest meet in the world, because the depth of swimming here is tremendous," Kempf said. "The U.S. has 20 good athletes competing in each event, but some countries only have three or four good people."
Both Smith and Neugent went to the 1984 trials, in the 100 and 200 breast stroke, respectively. Neugent's brother, Ron, was a member of the 1980 Olympic team and competed in the 1984 trials. He is trying to
qualify this year in the 400 individual medley.
"Watching the Olympic trials is such a thrill." Neugent said. "There will be world records set in about half of the races."
Tramnel said, "The meet in California was a real eye-opener for me, because it let me know how my body is. As the meet went on, I swam faster, and was rested up quicker. That's a good indication that I won't tire out at the trials.
"I have as good a shot as everyone. In my mind, I'll be ready. As far as winning goes, it's just a matter of who ever else is hotter than me."
Three other Jayhawks, Pobby Kelby, Barb Pranger and Erin Easton, qualified for the trials and are training with their hometown coaches.
Kansas sports campers battle heat
By Jill M. John
Kansan sportswriter
This summer's drought has caused farmers' crops to wither in their fields. The farmers want and need lots of water.
Lots of water is also what 465 junior and senior high school students, who are outdoors this week participating in Kansas sports camps, want.
The basketball, golf, tennis and track jump camp participants all are experiencing the effects of this week's warm temperatures, and coaches are supplying the campers, who are competing in the heat, with plenty of water.
The basketball camp coaches whistle frequently for water breaks and the tennis and track and field jump camp coaches are encouraging campers to carry bottles of water.
Another sign of the warm temperatures is the tub of ice outside the clubhouse of Alvamar Country where the golf camp conducts practice.
"I's hot, but you don't notice it so much when you're out playing and moving around," said Byron Marshall. Chanute High School senior.
This is the fifth year Marshall has attended the University of Kansas' golf camp.
our camp camps for boys and one
The golf camp originated in 1980
and has grown from three camps in
the first year to five threes in
for girls with 40 to 50 junior
and senior high school students attending
each.
"The program has definitely grown, although we're a little down in numbers compared to last year," Weiser said.
Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall directs the camps with the assistance of former women's coach Kent Weiser.
Reputation and the 1988 National Championship also attracted several high school students to the basketball camp directed by assistant men's coach R.C. Buford this week.
Former Kansas basketball coach Larry Brown's resignation last week hasn't effected the morale of the basketball camp, campers said.
"I've gone to camps in Nebraska for the last five years and after the NCAA championships I thought it'd be a good time to come here," said Steve Scheidegger of Columbus, Neb.
Brown was at registration on Sunday, has lectured and appears periodically at practices, Mullis said.
"I don't think anyone is too disappointed about Brown's leaving," said Tim Mullis, Chicago high school junior. "They're just happy to be here and have the level of competi-
"He's as active as he's always been. He wants to be sure that his coaches are being teachers."
"I don't know how much time a head coach really spends with his camp anyway. I know it's not a whole lot."
The tennis courts behind the field house are where 36 boys and girls are spending seven-hour days this week.
"I think Coach Brown has made a genuine effort to see that the camps go on as scheduled this year as in the past," said Steve Simons, Allen Field House gym director.
This week, 350 high school boys are at the basketball camp. This is the third weeklong camp, with another week in August.
"I think this camp is fun, said
"Iain Keng, Kansas City,MO, eighth
Tennis camp originated six years ago and has grown from 18 campers the first year to 350 campers this summer.
The tennis camp, the third of five held this summer, is directed by Scott Perleman, Kansas men's tennis coach, and Eric Hayes, women's tennis coach.
grader, who is returning for his third year. "It's fun to play tennis all day, and you learn things too."
Eight to 13-year-olds are attending this week's camp and, unlike the high school campers who will be here later in the summer, few compete in tournals on a regular basis.
"I play a little bit, but mostly I name because my parents are big tennis fanatics," said Paige Taylron, Leavenworth coach. "We don't compete too hard for the next year."
There are 30 high school boys and girls participating in the track and field jump camp this week.
The jump camp is in its second year and stresses the fundamentals of the high jump, long jump and triple jump. The camp is directed by Kansas men's track assistant coach Rick Attig.
Attendance is at about the same level as last year, Attig said.
Alicia Pettey, a Kansas City, Mo. high school senior, competes in all three events and came to Kansas for jump camp to correct her bad jumping habits.
"A lot of coaches teach different things, and I want to find out different things that I can do to improve." Petetta said.

Lakers unplug Pistons to retain title
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Los Angeles Lakers, led by James Worthy's 36 points, held off the Detroit Pistons 108-105 last night and became the first team in 19 years to repeat as NBA champions.
The Lakers, who trailed 32-47 at halftime, hit their first 10 shots of the third quarter on the way to a 15-point victory. The Bostons, with the Pistons in the final 12 minutes.
Byron Scott scored 12 of his 21 points during the Lakers' 23-7 rally in the third period, which spanned the first 6-25 of the second half and gave Los Angeles a 70-59 lead. Scott capped the spurt with a 3-point goal.
The Lakers led 83-73 after three quarters and quickly extended the lead to 125. Michael Cooper — 1-for-14 from 3-point range going into the game — hit
his second of the second half for an
88-73 lead with 10:49 left.
The Lakers led 94-79 with 7:24 left before the Pistons rallied.
Vinnie Johnson had three baskets and John Salley added five points as Detroit used a 17-4 spurt to close within 98-96 with 2:50 left.
After a missed shot by Los Angeles, Dennis Rodman missed a jumper with 29 seconds left.
The Pistons got within two on two other occasions before Magic Johnson hit a free throw with 1:16 to go to make it 103-100. Bill Laimbeer then missed a 3-point attempt and was unable to save the rebound. The ball went out of bounds with 1:05 to go.
With a sellout Forum crowd of 17,505 screaming, "Repeat, repeat," during every timeout, Scott hit two free throws to make it 105-100. The Lakers missed three of their next
four attempts at the line, however,
and the Pistons then trailed by only
106-108 when Laimbeer hit a 3-pointer
with six seconds remaining.
But A.C. Green clinched it with a beam with two seconds on the clock
layup with two seconds on the clock.
It voted the most valuable Player.
Magic Johnson added 19 points for Los Angeles. Joe Dumars had 25 points for the Pistons, Salley 17 and Adrian Dantley 16.
When the game ended, delirious fans swarmed over the court, celebrating the first successful defense since the Boston Celtics in 1989.
Isiah Thomas, despite a badly sprained ankle that had him on crutches just an hour before the game, played 19 minutes and scored 10 points in the first half, including consecutive jumpers in the final 27
seconds of the second quarter. Those shots gave Detroit the halftime lead.
But Thomas failed to score in the second half and saw only spot duty in the third.
The fifth title this decade for the Lakers. By successfully defending last year's crown, the Lakers had a guarantee by Coach Pat Riley.
The franchise now has won 11 titles, the last six in Los Angeles and the first five in Minneapolis from 1949-54.
"I'm going to guarantee everyone we're going to repeat," Riley said minutes after the Lakers beat the Celtics a year ago.
The Lakers also became the first team to win three seven-game series in one year. They beat Utah and Dallas 4-3 in the Western Conference playoffs.
Spinks finds hype, preparation boring
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - While the turmoil in heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's life captures most of the attention, challenger Michael Spinks goes quietly about his business, training almost unnoticed for Monday's title fight.
Unlike the Tyson camp, where various nasty battles spilled into the open this week, there are no controversies and no outward distractions as veteran trainer Eddie Futch puts on his own face at muggy recreation center several miles from the glitter of Atlantic City's seaside casinos.
For nine weeks now, the 31-year-old challenger has been in the gym, training methodically for the biggest fight of his career, a bout that will pay him at least $13.5 million and could be boxing's richest ever.
"We're just marking time right now, waiting for the countdown," said Futch. "He's right where we have wanted him to be all along."
Spinks, who cherishes his privacy
selidm strays from the daily training routine of running early and working out late in the day. He eats in his hotel room and watches television before retiring early to get ready for the next day.
As the fight approaches, his only complaint is that it's all getting a bit boring.
"It's starting to get to me a little now." Spinks said after finishing a training session. "I'm starting not to look forward to coming in here."
Though things are calm in the Spinks camp (he even trains in a small town called Pleasantville, which they know to visit with what Tyron is going through.
It was less than a decade ago that Spinks watched as his brother, Leon, won and lost a heavyweight title, then saw a once-promising career disintegrate from the chaos around him.
"If it's anything like Leon was going through, then I can understand maybe what he's going through," Spinks said. "I don't know if it will
hurt him like it did Leon. It's all according to what kind of person he is."
Spinks, though he claims to have not learned "even one itty, bitty thing," from his brother's problems, has no hangers-on in camp as Leon did and purposefully sheltered himself from most of the boxing world.
Spinks professes to have paid little attention to the reports about Tyson's managerial and personal problems, preferring instead to concentrate on the fight.
"The only problem Leon had was he was too nice," he said. "You shouldn't hang out and let the public get into your life."
"I'm not really interested," he said. "That would be saying like I'm looking for some help, maybe sitting in my room praying something will make it easier for me. That would backfire on me."
Futch, for one, doesn't believe any of the distractions will matter once Tyson enters the ring for the scheduled 12-round fight.
"I think he'll divorce himself from those problems once the bell rings," Futch said. "I have never seen a good fighter who has anything else on his mind once the bell rings. Someone else, don't even know who the referee is."
But Spinks will have some advantage, the trainer believes, because his training has been predictable.
"You approach every fight the same way because you are a professional," Futch said. "You don't deviate from the pattern that's carried you this far."
In contrast to Tyson, Spinks' own managerial situation is the rock of stability. A relationship with Butch Lewis that began after the 1976 Olympics has continued unbroken and both Lewis and Spinks say it is stronger than ever.
"Butch and I, we started together and we'll stay together," Spinks said. "He's like another me, a brighter one who can say the things for me that I'd like to say."

McEnroe wins Wimbledon crowd, match
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — John McEnoe made a triumph return to Wimbledon yesterday by winning the cheers of the crowd and his first match in three years on the famed grass courts.
Showing flashes of the form that made him a three-time champion here. McEnroe beat Horst Skoff of Austria 6-1, 7-5, 6-1 before an overflow crowd at the All England Club.
McEnroe, 29, received an enthusiastic ovation as he walked onto Court 1 before the opening-round match and again as he left the court after his victory. Each time, he acknowledges the cheers with a wave of his hand.
"It was nice," McEnroe said of the reception for his first appearance at Wimbledon since his 1985 quarterfinal loss to Australian Kevin Curren. "Hopefully, it will get better the longer I stay around."
Before he stepped away from Wimbledon for two summers, McEnroe treated the crowds here to some classic turrents, earning nicknames such as "MacBrat" and "Mac the Mouth" from the Fleet Street tabloids.
In his comeback, McEnroe, the No. 8 seed, has vowed to keep his temper under control. He kept that promise against Skoff, who was coming off a clay-court tournament title in Greece.
He kept quiet throughout the match and only once showed anger by swatting the net with his racket after netting an easy volley to give Skoff a break point in the second set.
"It's a whole new ballgame now," said McEnroe, who is trying to regain the top ranking he held from 1981-85. "It's almost like starting over."
The second day of the tournament also featured easy first-round victories by the top two women's seeds, Steffi Graf and eight-time champion Martina Navratilova. Graf's victory was noteworthy because she posted her second straight Grand Slam shutout. Navratilova's victory also was significant because it was her 42nd straight match victory at Wimbledon, a post-war record.
No. 4 seed Chris Evert, No. 5 Gabrielle Sabati and No. 9 Hana Mandlikova also won in straight sets, but No. 3 Pam Shriver struggled before defeating South African Dinky
Van Rensburg in three sets.
The women's draw did lose a seed, with No. 11 Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of West Germany withdrawing because of a knee injury.
No. 14 Andrei Chesnokov of the Soviet Union was eliminated by Udo Roglewski of West Germany 7-5, 6-4, 6-4, but all other men's seeds were victorious. Among those advancing to the second round were No. 2 Mats Wilander, No. 5 Jimmy Connors, No. 9 Miloslav Mecir, No. 12 Jonas Svensson and No. 16 Slobodan Ziovijovic.
Evert and Connors are both playing in their 17th straight Wimbledon. They are the oldest players in the men's and women's draws, but they looked strong in their opening rounds. Evert beat Alexia Dechume of France 6-1, 6-2, and Connors beat U.S. player Leif Shiras 3-7, 6-1, 6-1.
Skoff won three straight games to take a 5-4 lead in the second set against McErooe, but the U.S. player broke back in the 11th game on a backhand pass and held serve to close out the set. McEroee then easily won the final set, breaking Skoff three times.
20 minutes to practice, so it would have been embarrassing to lose," MeEnroe said.
"I knew he had just come from a clay-court tournament and only had
Skiff occasionally clowned around, making unusual service motions, prancing on his toes and bowing to the crowd. The fans were amused, but McEnroe was not.
"Once I won the second set, he started doing these funny serves and it was like a joke," he said. "It's aggravating to deal with, but it's a lot easier when you've just won in three straight sets."
Navratilova, seeking a record ninth women's singles title and seventh in a row, needed only 49 minutes to beat Sabrina Goles of Yugoslavia 6-1, 6-2 on Centre Court.
On Court 1, Graf took three fewer minutes to defeat U.S. player Hu Na 6-0, 6-0. In her last Grand Slam match, the 19-year-old West German defeated Natalia Zvereva of the Soviet Union in the French Open final.
Navratilova seemed distracted at times against Goles, but she said she wasn't looking ahead to Graf or any other opponent.
"I can only play one match at a time," she said.

Fire chief bans use of fireworks in city
Douglas County may do the same; public displays will go on as scheduled
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Fireworks have been banned in Lawrence because of the dry weather conditions, and a similar proposal could be passed by Douglas County.
Violators may be fined up to $200 or imprisoned for 180 days. Supervised public display fireworks have been approved, however, and the fireworks display for Independence Day will go on Monday night as scheduled
Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSwain yesterday issued an order banning fireworks within the city limits. According to the order, it is unlawful for any person to use or explode any fireworks within the city limits of Lawrence during the 1988 legal fireworks season. The season would have been 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday.
McSwain met with City Manager Buford Watson on Monday to discuss the dry conditions, which could become hazardous by the use of fireworks. By the end of the day, McSwain issued the ban. Under city ordinance, the fire chief can issue a ban on fireworks with the approval of the city manager.
McSwan said the department would have three extra firefighters on duty during the weekend, and he will call in extra help if the situation gets bad. If no ban had been issued, the department would have had to put at least 10 extra firefighters on duty.
"The ban helps us to eliminate the extra help." he said.
The fire department will assist the Lawrence Police Department and the KU Police Department by issuing notices to appear in court to those who violate the ordinance.
Sgt. John Brothers, a KU police spokesman, said the department usually did not have many problems with fire violations, so the department probably will not have extra officers on duty.
I understand small towns banning fireworks because they lack facilities. But Lawrence?

"The KU population is usually low during this weekend," Brothers said. "Most people go home."
Before this year, fireworks were legal in Lawrence if they fell into the "class C" category. Class C, said Marion Bartlett of the state fire marshal's office, includes fireworks containing small amounts of gun powder. Bartlett said bottle rockets used to be in this category but were banned in Kansas seven or eight years ago.
The county commissioners will meet today to discuss a resolution to ban fireworks in Douglas County and to consider revoking the 10 fireworks sale permits issued in the county.

John Cunningham of Lawrence received a permit to sell fireworks in the parking lot of Floyd's Bait and Tackle at 31st and Iowa Streets. Cunningham said it would be unfortunate for him if there were a county ban after all the time and money he bad put into his fireworks stand.
He said Topeka had not issued a ban although it was as dry as Lawrence was.
"I am not a fireman, but if I was to put a lighter to my grass right now, nothing could happen." Cunningham said.
"I understand small towns banning fireworks because they lack facilities," Cunningham said. "But Lawrence?"
Vintage cars racing coast to coast
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
Balloons, clowns and antique cars brought hundreds of Topekans to the Capitol yesterday morning to welcome the drivers in the Great American Race.
The Interstate Batteries Great American Race is an annual car race against time from Los Angeles to Boston. The cars, each with a driver and navigator, passed near Lawrence yesterday morning on the way to Independence. Mo., and are expected to reach Boston by Sunday.
Tom McRae, executive director of the race, said rain followed the drivers all the way from Disneyland.
Distinction:
"Right now we're calling ourselves the 'drought-busters' because we have had rain every day except yesterday," he said.
every day they except for
Norm Miller, president of Interstate Batteries
and the master of ceremonies, said all the cars
were built before 1937. 105 of the 122 cars that
started the 12-day race June 22 were still going
yesterday.
The drivers can only use pencil and paper, a towwatch, a regular watch and a speedometer
They drive 12 to 14 hours a day and often work on the cars at night.
"We've got some of the best mechanics in the world just to keep the cars running," McRae said. "I've seen them make a carburetor out of a hubcap just to keep going."
The drivers are given explicit instructions each day and the goal is to follow the instructions as closely as possible. The drivers pass secret video-camera checkpoints and a point is added for each second the car deviates from the prescribed time. The driver with the lowest score will win $250,000.
Derailed peace convoy protests in Washington One of the KU students returns home rest of group remains in Nicaragua
By Lisa Sheikh
Kansan staff writer
One of the five University of Kansas students originally part of the Veterans Peace Convoy to Nicaragua returned to Lawrence on Thursday after a four-day stay in Managua Nicaragua.
Ted Millich, Kansas City, Mo.
senior, left the group of KU students in Guatemala after they had successfully crossed the Mexican border under the grestret of being tourists.
The convoy was turned back at the border June 8 by U.S. Customs officials who said the journey violated the U.S. trade embargo against Nicaragua.
"We said we were just going to cross the border and come back." Millich said. "We didn't have any supplies."
Millich left the KU students and flew to Managua from Guatemala because he already had bought a plane ticket out of Managua for Thursday, and he needed to get to the country in time to meet his flight.
He said he had heard from one of the students' parents that the rest of the KU students had arrived in Nicaragua early Monday, but he was not sure whether the students had managed to get through with their bus or had abandoned it in Guatemala.
Milich said the KU students, who left the convoy June 3 in Austin, Texas, had done so for two reasons. One, he said, was that the convoy was taking too long. The other was more a matter of principle.
The students and their contacts in Nicaragua could not be reached last night for comment.
"They were saying to the press that it was not political, and then they'd have their meetings where they were saying, 'Of course it's political,' " Millich said.
The 43-vehicle convoy of food and medical supplies for Nicaragua, meanwhile, has spent the past several days in Washington protesting U.S. foreign policy. The students are protesting, in particular, the government's refusal to allow the convoy vehicles to be left in Nicaragua to aid that country's transportation shortage.
Gerry Condon, a national coordinator of the convoy, said Monday that most of the convoy members had left Washington on Monday morning and were headed for Laredo, Texas. He said that the group would make another attempt to cross the border July 9.
"We're prepared to try to cross repeatedly within a period of several days, and we are asking people to have support action on July 9 across the country," he said.
William Callahan, coordinator for Quest for Peace, the organization that helped gather the supplies for the convoy, said that most of the supplies had been shipped ahead to Nicaragua and were already there. The only points of contention were the vehicles, which the convoy members are determined to donate to the Nicaraguans.
Millich said he didn't know for certain what had happened to the convoy until he returned to the United States. He said he thought the government's stance on the trade embargo made little sense.
In addition to the public and hospital transportation needs, Millich said, the country needs vehicles to transport crops from the farms into the cities. He said any vehicles donated to Nicaragua would be used for these purposes.
"I think its really stupid," he said. Nicaraguan cars and buses are in poor condition because they can't be maintained. They all belch black smoke and have cracked windshields, and many cannot go faster than 25 mph, he said.
"The only vehicles that ran well were in the military, so I don't think that they would need a small pickup truck or a sixty-six school bus for the military."
If the students did, in fact, leave their school in Managua, Millich said, they could face prosecution upon their return to the United States. Millich said he was in no danger because he left the bus in Guatemala and it was not in his name.
"They need public transportation really badly, and I think that goes for hospital vehicles as well," Millich said.

KJHK has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to increase its power from 100 to 1,000 watts, said Jerry Howard, station manager, last week.
The request, which was filed with the FCC on April 28 and is now under engineering review, would allow KJHK to express the will of Douglas County and parts of the Topeka and Kansas City areas.
Rod Davis, engineer for the KU radio station, said the request was a decision of the KJHK faculty.
"We were wanting to get our signal into Topeka and Kansas City, and also into any gray areas in the city," he said.
He said that the KJHK signal now was clear only within Lawrence and that there were places within the city where it was fuzzy.
He said the application requested that JKHK'S new antenna be installed on the KANU tower.
Howard Hill, program director at KANU, said the tower was being torn down and relocated, along with some other West Campus structures, to make room for the new performing arts center. The tower has been at its West Campus location since 1982.
But the application has to be delayed, Davis said, because KANU is looking for a new location for its West Campus tower.
He said KANU was looking at several locations for the new tower
and hoped to have one selected soon. Hill said a site-clearance committee had been appointed by Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, to relocate the West Campus structures. The committee's findings are to be submitted to Ramaley by Sept. 1.
Sam Chapman, director of engineers and operations at KANU, said the tower's rebuilding cost was difficult to estimate but would be about $250,000 to $350,000.
Chapman said that the tower, which now is 605 feet tall, would have to be built taller to compensate for the distance added by moving it from the present location. He said the new tower would be anywhere from 700 to 900 feet tall, depending on where it was relocated.
was rescued.
Once the new site is determined, Chapman said, KJHK will have to rethink its entire application to the FCC. He said that if the tower were moved 10 miles from campus, that would seriously affect KJHK's coverage area.
Hill said he was not certain how much of the bill would be paid by the University, but he suspected that KANU would pay part of the cost.
Chapman said that, although the move was a necessary one, it was unfortunate that it could not have been determined earlier. The KANU tower was destroyed in 1984 when a vandal cut the guy wires. It was rebuilt at its same location at a cost of $150,000.
"This is an expense to KANU for the good of the University," Hill said.
Plot to kill pope is reported
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — Two Turks seeking notoriety taken a plot to kill Pope John Paul II on the first day of his visit to Austria, authorities said yesterday.
They said the 68-year-old pontifix was not in danger during his five-day tour of its alpine nation, which ended Monday. John Paul has survived two assassination attempts in this decade as leader of the world's Roman Catholics.
Interior Minister Karl Blecha said the escape of 29 terrorist inmates from a Turkish prison in March put Austria on alert. He said Interpol, the international police agency, advised Austrian officials of the escape.
The Austrian incident gained attention after a U.S. television network reported Monday that a plot to assassinate John Paul had been discovered and foiled. International news media carried the report for more than 10 hours before Austria responded officially.
Blecha told reporters yesterday after a Cabinet meeting: "The two men staged the so-called assassination plot as a means of gaining attention. No weapons were found, only a wielding pistol. The two men were arrested and charged with faking a criminal act, but were not in kept in jail."
but were not so Austrian television said of the Turks: "At first they were prime suspects in a possible plot."

Democrats split on VP choice
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
The Democratic party may have more to contend with in November than Vice President George Bush.
In November 1998, If the Rev. Jesse Jackson does not receive the vice presidential nomination at the National Convention in July, more than 7 million Democratic supporters might not support the party ticket, said Charles McAfee, a Jackson delegate from Wichita.
"We can't wait any more," said McAfee. "Look at it this way: after you work for years and years and listen to promise after promise, then you're told to wait, it gets absurd."
McAfee said he expected Bush to win the presidential election if Jackson was not on the Democrats' ticket. He said that if Jackson were not nominated, he would not support the Democrats.
"There is no one to challenge the Reagan administration except Jackson," he said. "There is no human cry for change."
Allan Long, a Lawrence delegate for Michael Dukakis, said that leaving Jackson off the ticket would not hurt Dukakis' chance at the White House.
"There is no doubt about it, there will be some people who withdraw support, but I don't think that it (7 million) is an accurate assessment," Long said. "I think the attitude is changing to. 'It's now or never to stop Bush.'"
Long said that regardless of who was Dukakis' running
"Dukaius is winning back the blue-collar lunch box-type worker," he said. "People are waking up to find that the dream of unlimited growth and massive tax giveaways are gone."
mate, the election would favor Dukakis. He said that Dukakis was picking up support from people who supported Reagan in 1894.
"If not, we'll lose the Jackson delegation, and then we've lost before we've started," she said.
Sophie George, a Dukakis delegate from Topeka, said concessions must be made to the Jackson delegation in the party's platform, or losing in November could be a reality.
George said the biggest problem at the convention would be filling the seat of vice president. She said Jackson did not have enough experience to be vice president.
"I know he has a lot of good things to say, but he doesn't have the experience." she said.
Charles Meek, a member of the Democratic Credentials Committee from Topeka, said white America was not ready for black leadership.
"We know damn well they aren't going to be fair to Jesse (at the convention)." Meek said.
He said it would be inevitable that the Democrats would blame Jackson and black supporters if Bush won.
"The polarization of the races was not created by Jesse Jackson," he said. "The media turned it into a black/ white issue."
Budig proposes budget priorities
Chancellor Gene A. Budig submitted the University of Kansas Budget priorities for fiscal year 1990 to the Board of Regents on Thursday. The priorities included requests for budget improvements of $2,027,000 for merit-salary raises, and $1,537,000 for mission-related program enhancements. Other requests included $1,772,467 for enrollment-adjustment funds and $607,441 for maintenance of new buildings. Budig told the Regents that the salary increases for full-time faculty, which will average more than 8 percent in 1989, will help in attracting talented faculty to KU as well as retaining the most productive members already at KU.

Service groups seek aid through political action
By Paula Messbarger
Kansan staff writer
Members of an international political activist group last night encouraged about 20 people involved in social programs to become more politically active in fighting world and local poverty.
Results, an international group that addresses world hunger politically through lobbying, invited members from service areas in Lawrence and elsewhere in Kansas to discuss local problems of hunger, poverty and shelter in a meeting at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
Among the groups represented were the Douglas County Council on Aging, the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (LINK), the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Headquarters Inc., the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare and a Topeka family shelter. Three state representatives from the 46th District and citizens not linked to any organization but concerned about the problem also attended.
Francis Kelly, Lawrence resident and member of Results, said Results called the meeting because of the groups' common concerns. "We want to share strategies," he said. "We have different views and solutions."
Forrest Swall, Results member and assistant professor of web design, should
address hunger and homelessness in the local area.
Swall said in some ways, social programs add to the problems because they don't create a permanent solution. We don't hire them and we did." The programs and policies as they now stand perpetuate the conditions."
Ed Dutton, associate professor of social welfare, said, "I am a citizen helping citizens. As citizens, we can together help others."
The group discussed poor housing, welfare needs not met by the government, poor nutrition among poverty-stricken women and children, and possible solutions to these problems. The common solution they agreed upon was political action.
Results members asked the people at the meeting to write letters to the editors of their local newspapers and to one or more 1988 presidential candidates, showing commitment to ending hunger in the United States and the rest of the world. They suggested that the letters ask the candidates to announce their commitment to existing campaigns to end hunger and homelessness or to announce their own plans to ensure that no one in the U.S. will go hungry or lack a decent place to sleep.
Kelly said the next Results meeting would address world hunger, which is the group's main focus. The meetings are the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the church.

Ground broken for Robert Dole center
By Michael Shunk
Kansan staff writer
Four University of Kansas administrators and Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole's administrative assistant rolled up their sleeves yesterday in the 99-degree heat and shoved out the first scops of dirt on the site where the new Human Development Center will be built.
The ground-breaking ceremony took place on the area just east of Haworth Hall.
The building, projected for occupancy in fall 1990, will be named the Robert J. Dole Human Development Center in honor of Kansas' senior senator. Dole was not at the ceremony, but his administrative assistant, Chris Bolton, came from Washington, D.C. to represent him.
The new center, which will be built with $9 million in federal funds and $3 million from private sources, will house KU's departments of Human Development and Family Life; Special Education and Language Teaching; Finance for Life Stem Studies; the Bureau of Child Research; the Gerontology Center; and the radio and television sequence in journalism.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig told the audience of about 50 people that the project never would have been possible without Dole's interest and support.
"His career in the Senate of the United States has been distinguished in many ways, but never more so than in his twenty-year record of work on behalf of disabled Americans," Buidig said.
"From our first approach to him he was very enthusiastic in his support and creative in his approach to the problem of funding. Throughout Senate consideration of this appropriation, he was involved closely in every discussion."
Bolton said that although Dole did not want his name on the new building, she thought it was appropriate because it represented a lasting and worthwhile accomplishment that Dole had achieved for the state.
Bolton also said that Dole was surprised at the honor.
"I don't know why they want to name a building after me, I'm not dead yet,'" she quoted him as saying.
Bolton then read a statement from Dole that praised the University and its efforts in starting the project:
"But as you know, bricks and mortar are only the building blocks. It is the depth of the commitment from you and the University community that are the real foundation of this new Human Development Center.
"In the near future, this center will come alive with the talents and energies of those who are at work here."
Along with Bolton, the KU faculty who joined in the ground breaking ceremony were Budi, Frances Horowitz, professor of Human Development; Ed Meyen, dean of education and head of the building committee for the project; and Richard Schiefelbusch, professor of speech, language and hearing.
Dean of social welfare named
Weick's experience in field, loyalty lend support in taking on new duties
By Carla Krause Kansan staff writer
Anne Weick, KU's new dean of social welfare, had her most challenging social work experience in 1963. Newly graduated from the University of Oregon, Weck and two other U.S. citizens in the Peace Corps were assigned to Turkey to help set up a child care program in Konya, a city of about 15,000 people.
"I chose social work because of the inequities I saw in society and the fact that many people needed help." Weick said.
She said the Reagan administration was in direct opposition to established programs.
"Under the Johnson administration in the late '60s, there were a lot of economic opportunities for social work," she said.
"In my view, the federal government is shirking its responsibilities in providing services to those who really need help." she said.

Weick said that as a field worker she saw the fruits of her work directly, and even though there will be less linkage working as dean, she thought she could still provide the best possible care to the needy through her teaching.
Weick will become the new dean Friday. She was appointed acting dean last summer after the resignation of Dean Patricia Ewalt.
Born and raised in Portland, Ore. Weick graduated in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in sociology with a minor in psychology.
She got her first taste of social work while working as an intern at a public welfare office in Oregon during her sophomore and junior years of college.

In Turkey, Weick said, she me the most challenging experience of her life.
"The children there were in good physical care," she said. "They had heating, linens and good food, but nothing constructive to do."

Weick returned to the United States after two years and earned a master's degree in social work at the University of California, Berkeley. She returned to Oregon in 1967 and worked at a family service clinic and a poverty program office.
wattham, Mass., Weick became a member of the KU faculty. She said she came to the Midwest partly because she thought that there were fewer opportunities in a coastal city because of stiff competition for academic positions.

She has been at KU for 12 years. In 1897, she was given the Outstanding Faculty Award from the KU Social Welfare Alumni Society.
Weick said that her main interest of study was in social policy. She said she planned to continue to

Participants ready for nuclear war
By Jeff Pitcher
Kansan staff writer
Dale Creed is preparing for a nuclear war.
Dale Creech is preparing for a hacker Tensions have been mounting in Europe since March. A build-up of Warsaw Pact forces has been observed, and NATO forces have responded.
A nuclear strike is expected in Kansas this morning. This is the scenario for emergency exercises this week of the Douglas County Emergency Preparedness department.
The department is having the exercise to test its preparedness in the event of a nuclear war. Originally, the exercise was to occur nationwide, but limited resources prevented it.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency requires that each state participate in a nuclear attack scenario every three years.
States were given the option of participating on a state or regional level. Kansas is participating on a state level.
city. It would be Creed's job to deal with it.
One envelope Creed opened informed him of an "end-of-the-world party" in Baldwin. According to the instructions, about 500 people were rioting and destroying the
The simulation is done to make officials aware of problems that they might not prepare for otherwise, Creed said. Casualties, evacuation procedures, lack of fuel and traffic jams are only a few of the problems that might occur after a nuclear attack.
Dale Creep, the coordinator in Lawrence, is assigned to open envelopes at designated times as the scenario progresses. Each envelope contains further details of the development toward a nuclear war.
The scenario is optimistic. It assumes there will be survivors.
"It's better to plan for survivors than to just ignore the fact that people might survive." Creed said.
Right now, one of his problems is what to do with the survivors. There aren't enough shelters in Lawrence, so people would have to be evacuated to counties south of Lawrence that aren't in the statistical zone.
At the height of the nuclear war scare in 1963, there were only enough shelters for 37,000 people, and at that time 50,000 people lived in Douglas County.
After Creed is notified of the nuclear attack, the scenario will shift to an imaginary time two weeks after the attack. Problems such as fuel shortage, looting and army desertion are expected to be prominent.
"It's mostly an exercise on paper," Creed said. "There won't be any physical movement of people."
People who are involved with emergency preparedness need to know who to notify in different situations, he said.
The scenario that the officials are playing isn't just helpful for a nuclear war, Creed said. It's helpful for any kind of disaster.
"We'd have a similar effect if a large tornado went through downtown Lawrence," he said. "We'd have refugees and destruction."
for Creed, the exercise isn't much fun. "It's depressing to think about," he said. "Our whole way of life would be changed. We don't have a lot of community support for this exercise, but I think it's better to be prepared than to ignore it and hope that it goes away."
Endowment Association rebuilds after crash
Program promotes leadership
Endowment Association. However, assets have regained 8 percentage points from an increase in stock values since then.
By Carla Krause
Kansan staff writer
Four days before the crash, the Dow stood at 2,508; on Oct. 19 it dropped to 1,739. It hit 2,152, the highest level since the crash, on June 22 and stood at 2,130.87 yesterday.
Kansan staff writer
In response to a national reform movement, the School of Education has developed a program to better prepare educators, allowing them more opportunities and advancement in their field.
The Instructional Leadership Program is a doctoral program option offered by the curriculum and instruction department. It was developed by the other school districts and the Learning Exchange in Kansas City, Mo.
Davis said as of May 31, the Endowment Association's complete assets totaled $205 million, of which 85 percent was invested in the stock market.
The program combines teachers and administrators' roles of instruction and leadership, giving teachers more authority in developing and managing school systems while they keep close ties to the classroom.
As the stock market continues to rebound after the Oct. 19 crash, investors who survived the setback are breathing sighs of relief. The Kansas University Endowment Association is one of those investors.
Paul Haack, associate dean of education, said that KU was the first university to offer such an extensive program that combined leadership and instructional roles.
Bruce Cooper Research director, KNEA
Our position is that teachers ought not be evaluating other teachers for employment positions, but we are in favor of teachers having more input in the school system.
ted to the program this spring after being nominated by their districts. Along with meeting the usual graduate school requirements, Sundybe said, the students must have been in the field for at least five years and must be considered leaders by their colleagues.

The program prepares teachers for a "lead teacher" role in which the teacher has more responsibility in staff development, curriculum planning, management of resources and parent communication.
Willie Amison, student in the program and principal of East Heights Elementary School in Lawrence, said that he enrolled in the program to become an expert instructional leader and that he thought the teacher's and principal's roles would be enhanced rather than diminished with the addition of the lead teacher.

Nita Sundayb, professor of education, said that although teachers would have more authority in these areas, the object of the program was not to create a new role in the school district, but to offer teachers and administrators training that they normally got on the job.
As a result of the 508-point drop of the Dow Jones industrial average, the Endowment Association's assets plummeted 12 percent, said Jeff Davis, treasurer of the
In his proposal for the development of the program, Ed Meyen, dean of education, said that the Rochester, N.Y., school district initiated a lead teacher program which included a lead teacher model that earned up to $88,500.
"Our position is that teachers ought not be evaluating other teachers for employment positions, but we are in favor of teachers having more input in the school system," he said.
Bruce Cooper, research director for the Kansas National Education Association, a teachers union, said he liked most aspects of the proposal.
During the first year of the program, the students progress through a block of instructional leadership courses and seminars together while completing other graduate school requirements individually.
Sunday said that the students better learned from working together.
Wendell Mohling, a science teacher who represented the Shawnee Mission School District in the planning of the program, said that he thought the students together were one of the main benefits of the program.
"It allows them to really get to know each other and form a support system. They can also own pattern of core requirements and electives," Sundee said.
"The 21 instructional leaders are able to gain more from each other by exchanging ideas and background experiences," he said.
During the program's second year, the students research and prepare their dissertations. Sundbye said that because the faculty gave so much time to the program, they weren't sure whether they would limit a new course or just continue with the program next summer or wait two years until the present group finishes.
Meyen said, "Our initial plan was to first see the first group of students through the two-year cycle and then respond according to the demand of the program."

The greenhouse effect needs attention now
Many people in the United States are asking why. Why the drought? Why is it lasting so long? Many more are wondering when it will end and whether it will happen again.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last week heard the answers to those questions. James Hansen, a climatologist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, told the committee that the "greenhouse effect" was here and here to stay.
Gases such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons and, more importantly, carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels trap heat that normally would radiate out to space, just as the glass over a greenhouse keeps the sun's heat inside.
Records show that the earth has been getting warmer for more than 100 years. Analysts predict that 1988 will be the hottest year on record and that soon that record will be broken. Then, those high temperatures will be topped by others, which will be topped by others, and so on.
Where does it stop? It doesn't.
Where does it stop? It does. Scientists say that this warming will continue as long as those gases are in the earth's atmosphere, keeping the sun's heat down here. So, the earth will continue to get hotter and drier and subsequent droughts will be longer and longer. Rainfall will be more at high and low latitudes, and less in places in between. And those suffering through the drought of 1988 will be hit even harder in the droughts of the future.
Representatives from more than 40 countries are meeting in Canada this week to discuss environmental problems. On the first day of the conference, Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney urged participants to start work on an international "law of the air" discouraging air pollution similar to the International Law of the Sea. And Norwegian prime minister Brundland said, "For too long we have used the atmosphere, soil and water as the ultimate sink of our industrial excesses."
We have indeed dumped pollutants into the atmosphere, and we must now fix the problem that we ourselves have created. The U.S. government, and indeed all governments, need to do something about this near-constant global warming. The burning of fossil fuels needs to be regulated. Some analysts have even suggested finding alternative energy sources. Many nations have already signed a pact to regulate the emission of CFCs, but that does not remove the waste already in the atmosphere. That must be accounted for, too.
This is not a problem that can be brushed aside with a disclaimer such as, "We have plenty of time before it gets serious."
It already is.

Salute the Soviet Party conference
Managing Editor
By David White
Yesterday marked the beginning of the Soviet Party conference in Moscow. More than 5,000 delegates from all over the Soviet Union came to Moscow for a multi-day event that some have billed as the long-awaited full embracement of glasnost and perestroika.
Big deal? Sure it is. It's the first Party conference in 47 years. Not since the reign of Stalin has the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics seen a Party conference. Every five years, government leaders meet for a Party congress, but that is a Party affair in which they名 members to the Central Committee and make policy and things like that. This is a conference. Actual Soviets, people from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and other republics are in Moscow to speak their minds on Gorbachev's new ideas.
Party conferences don't happen every five years. They have to be called. And call Gorbachev did. On the agenda of this all-important conference are discussion and, Gorbachev hopes, adoption of the Theses, a set of proposals for radical reform given the go-ahead by the more-than-300-member Central Committee on May 23. Reformists are tossing around concepts like greater economic
competition, multi-candidate elections and limiting terms of elected party officials.
terms of elected party officials.
But does anyone on this side of the Iron Curtain think that the results of this conference will contain anything extremely extraordinary? Analysts say that conservative Party members, headed by the Union's No. 2, Yeger Ligachev, are pressing hard to slow reform. The Theses are reported to be vaguely worded as a result of a compromise between reformers and conservatives.
And the Central Committee still has many deposed officeholders who are, in effect "lame ducks" who will hold on to their seats until the next Party congress, in 1991, or longer if they can.
However, it is not yet clear whether any rules adopted at this conference will go into effect or will be merely suggestions to be further discussed at the 1991 congress.
It is also not clear why many in the Soviet Union, the United States and elsewhere are interested in this conference. It is a big event in terms of tradition. It is an unusual event. It also coincides with the 40th anniversary of Yugoslavia's being publicly condemned and expelled from the Cominform, then the official group of communist countries.
But will anything big come of it?
Gorbachev has labeled the conference as an
opportunity to move ahead with his reforms. He has called for more than 5,000 Soviets to show up. And yet, a list of the delegates is not available. Party officials examined 3,000 people in order to nominate 319 delegates from Moscow, and most of those selected are those that the Party wanted to go.
A proposal from the Estonian public asks for complete control over prices, wages and investment policy, a sort of "home rule." Latvia wants its own representation in the Olympics. Lithuanians want to speak only in Lithuanian. But those are proposals radical even for the reformer Gorbachev. He is not about to do away with the one-party system or the socialist economy, and he is certainly not going to grant the silly requests of small republics.
Reprenders have demanded live television coverage of the entire conference to make the Party accountable to the Soviets. But only certain speeches will be televised and even then, only briefly.
And what speeches. The agenda calls for 70-10 minute speeches. Will they do nothing but hear each other talk? The conference lasts for only four days, after all.
In the end, the Moscow gathering called monumental in scope and intent will probably end up being one big debate.

TAs' broken English doesn't have to be problem
The problem of broken English versus university comprehension isn't easily solved, but it doesn't have to cause major strife on campus.
Complaints about incomprehensible foreign teaching assistants are common, coming from both sides of the issue. TAs might be extremely qualified to teach their subjects, but they face the frustration of students who don't have the patience to work through the language barriers. Students counter that they pay for classes they can understand.
Test of English as a Foreign Language.
The university also must address the formation of an English language class for TAs to prepare them for classroom experience. The University offers one course, GSC 777, but it's more for teacher training language instruction. The Georgia Center for Continuing Education's non-credit course is too expensive for many foreign students at a stiff $1,075.
With increased enrollment in and demand for already crowded courses. TAs are a necessity.
The university has regulations protecting students, requiring that every foreign instructor pass an English "speak test" with a score of 250 or more in order to teach a course. All graduate students must have a score of 500 or more on the
TAs are an asset to the university, not a liability. The TA system gives the university the extra teaching staff it needs for crowded beginning courses, especially in math and science, where there is a nationwide teacher shortage. With the TAs' expert knowledge and some reasonably priced English instruction from the university, this system can work.

Kansas City council made correct decision on Klan
By Kathleen Faddis
Staff Columnist
After weeks of heated debate, the Kansas City, Mo., City Council voted last week to eliminate the public access channel of a local cable television company rather than allow the Ku Klux Klan to use it as a forum to promote its racist ideology.
The council made the wisest decision possible under the circumstances, although one not popular with civil libertarians. In fact, the American Civil Liberties Union has agreed to represent Klan members from the Kansas City area in a lawsuit charging that the city violated their constitutional right of freedom of speech.
The case in Kansas City, Mo., is similar to a controversy that divided the KU campus last spring when the same Klan members were invited to the campus to speak. In spite of the bitterness and hurt feelings it caused, the Klan eventually was allowed a forum at Hoch Auditorium.
In both situations, I found myself, a 1960s liberal who was actively involved in the civil rights movement, in a dilemma about the right thing to do. Making a decision meant deciding which was the more important right — freedom of expression, which civil rights activists depended on to preserve their right to demonstrate, or the right of people of all races and religions to exist without fear of the violent acts of those who hate them.
In theory, our Constitution is supposed to protect the right to express even the most repugnant views. But other considerations need to be weighed in this case, one being the nature of the Klan itself.
The Klan, founded in 1866 by a handful of Confederate veterans, quickly grew in the post-Civil War North and South. Within a few years, it began a reign of terror against blacks, Jews and Roman Catholics. In the 1920s, what is considered its heyday, the Klan had about 5 million members and reportedly lynched as many as 900 blacks in that decade.
Admittedly, today's Klan is much less organized and has fewer members (about 5,000 to 7,000 nationwide). But even though it is a much weaker and smaller organization, I think it would be foolhardy to be bulled into thinking it is no longer dangerous.
March 21, 1881, the day in Mobile, Ala., that Beulah Mae Donald's 19-year-old son Michael was found beaten to death and hanging from a tree just for being black, was not really that long ago. Eventually, local members of the Klan were convicted for killing Donald.
In recent years, the Klan has been making itself more visible and vocal, and not only in places like Mobile, Ala. It is operating in an atmosphere that is becoming more receptive to its message of hate. Some think that in spite of civil rights laws passed in the 1960s, antagonism between the races is growing and the class gap is widening.
A group of scholars met last spring in Racine, Wis., to study conditions of blacks in the United States 20 years
after the Kerner Report was issued. The report, written by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, studied the violence and rioting in the black ghetto in the 1960s. The latest study found that the living conditions for inner-city blacks were worse than in the 1960s and that the races were growing further apart socially and economically.
Another study, conducted last spring by the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations, found that in 1987, hate crimes directed against blacks and Jews had risen in that city to an eight-year record, with 184 recorded incidents of racially or religiously motivated vandalism or violence.
Incidents of racism and violence have sprung up at colleges and universities across the country in the last year. It is said there is a new openness to racism.
It doesn't come as any surprise then, that in the national atmosphere of racial tension and antagonism, the ugly specter of the Ku Klux Klan should be rising again.
The argument of those who press for unrestricted freedom of speech is that rational people will hear what the Klan has to say and discredit it for the ravings of small-minded bigots. And how could rational people take seriously grown men who call themselves cyclopses, klelegas, wizards and dragons? But we are living in a time when the acts of irrational people are increasing and many are looking for a scapegoat.
The uncomfortable implication of the decision in Kansas City, Mo., is that by taking away some of the Klan's freedoms, we lose some of those same freedoms ourselves. But the Klan doesn't just promote racism with words. The Klan advocates violence and acts on its bigtry in the beating, terrorizing and killing of blacks and Jews.
Early this year, Beulah Mae Donald won a civil suit against the Mobile, Ala., Klan. She charged that her son's killers were carrying out the group's organizational policy, passed down from Robert Shelton, its Imperial Wizard.
William Allen White, Emporia's great newspaper editor and publisher and the School of Journalism's namesake, changed a policy of avoiding public office in 1924 to run for governor His purpose was to throw the Ku Klux Klan out of Kansas. He lost his bid for governor, but his words are worth remembering:
"I call to my support all fair-minded citizens of every party, of every creed, to stop the oppression of this minority of our people. It is a national menace, this Klan. It knows no party. It knows no country. It knows only bigotry, malice and terror."
I don't think we can afford, even for the noble cause of free speech, to let the Klan increase its numbers and become strong again. The rights of all this country's citizens to live in peace without fear from hate has to prevail. The struggle for this freedom was too hard fought to give anything back now.

Nutty law forces woman to leave U.S.
Columnist
By any measure, Margarida Magalhaes, 33, is a useful朋. of our agency.
She's a physician, but not the sort who parks a Mercedes in the hospital lot.
Her specialty is blood diseases. She works at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, where most of her patients are indigent, and she is paid about $28,000 a year.
But she's not going to be doing that much longer. She will soon be booted out of this country.
That's because she came here from Portugal seven years ago under an "exchange visitor's visa" to get advanced medical training.
Vale to this visa, she has to leave when her studies are finished or after seven years. Her seven years will end next month.
Why am I telling you about this? Just to show how nutty laws can be. I like telling nutty stories.
To begin, Dr. Magalhaes doesn't want to leave the United States. She has several reasons.
To begin, Dr. Magannas doesn't want to leave the United States. She has several reasons.
One is that while she was here, she met, fell in love with and married William Silverman, who is also a physician. He specializes in emergency medicine at a suburban hospital.
Because Dr. Silverman is a U.S. citizen and prefers to remain one, he would like to have his
wife live with him in his country.
Second reason: If Dr. Magalhares returns to Portugal, it's unlikely that she could practice medicine there. For some reason, Portugal has a glut of doctors.
So here we have someone who is doing valuable work here, but we're telling her that we want her to go where her skills really aren't needed.
naturally, she and her husband are trying to find a way for her to stay here. They've written to senators, talked to the immigration authorities and the State Department.
then apply to our business.
The problem with that is that she would then be separated from her husband, which is not a pleasant prospect.
She can go back to Portugal for two years and then apply for U.S. residency and probably return.
Another option: They can appeal, which will delay Da Mgalbaas' departure for a while.
And both would fall two years behind in their medical training and experience.
Of course, he could go to Portugal with her for the two years. But he wouldn't be able to practice medicine there. And he'd become a deadbeat on the student loans he's now paying back.
uley Dr. Magrani But while their appeal is being studied by the State Department, she will have to stop her medical work.
And it is likely that the appeal will be denied.
That's because the State Department has a limited
number of reasons for letting someone like Dr Magalabas stay in this country.
The reasons must be "catastrophic" by State Department standards.
Department sanitation. And what's "catastrophic?" The person has a disease that can be treated only in the United States. Or the person his homeland is having a civil war or some other dangerous upheaval. Or the person needs political asylum.
But what makes this even nutter is that this country has been engaged in a campaign to persuade illegal aliens to drop in at their local immigration office so that they can be declared legal under the new laws.
We've been practically begging illegals to come forward so that they don't have to worry about being shipped out anymore.
being shipped to us, we have someone who came here legally paid taxes every year, has a useful humanitarian profession, and she's being shown the door.
the door.
In many big cities, entire subcultures of foreign dope pushers have flourished. They commit gang murders, knock off cops and make millions of dollars. They come and go, and the law can't keep up with them.
But a physician who works with the poor and is married to a U.S. citizen is told to take a walk.

Animals treated well, official says But animal activists protest lab experimentation as cruel
University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, June 29, 1988

Barbara Meador, coordinator of animal resources, demonstrates the proper handling of a laboratory rabbit.
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
Despite animal rights groups' accusations that laboratory animals are often abused and neglected, animals at the University of Kansas are treated well and watched over even more than the students, an animal care unit official said.
People can get emotional about the use of animals for laboratory research, said Barbara Meador, University coordinator of animal research. But the animals she said, no progress would be made in biology and medicine.
"I would be thrilled and delighted if animals weren't needed in research, but if we are even to maintain our level of knowledge of human beings, leading humans, there needs to be continued experimentation," she said.
About 10,000 animals at the Lawrence campus and at the University of Kansas Medical Center are used by faculty and students in about 12 departments for research and experimentation, Meador said. In Lawrence, the animals are kept in Malott and Haworth halls and in Smissman Research Lab on West Campus.
Mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, frogs, snakes, dogs, cats, goats and Rhesus monkeys are used for on-campus research, she said. Ninety-three percent of lab animals on campus are rodents. About 10 monkeys are kept at the Med Center.
The University is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care. Meador said that in 1987 the AALAC conducted 2,601 site visits and that it only held 321 of the labs accreditation
The association is a non-profit, independent agency that was formed by lab animal medicine professionals. The agency develops guidelines and programs for such procedures as administration of anesthetics and the health care of the animals, she said.
Meador said that although laboratory animals were protected by laws and guidelines of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Institute of Health, instances of sloppy animal care did occur, but not at KU.
"Anytime something like that comes to light, people are outraged, both in the scientific community and outside it," she said. "It is as outrageous to any good scientist as it is to any animal lover because animals that are stressed do not produce valid research results."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is located in Washington, D.C., is an organization that is outraged, not only over sloppy or inhumane experiments or treatment but all experimentation on animals.
Experimentation on animals is bad science. PETA spokesman Carol Roberts
Live dogs are dissected at the Med Center, but Kevin Outhot, Overland Park medical student, said the dog
"What you gain in research of animals can't usually be applied to humans," she said. "For example, aspirin kills cats. Also, strychinein in a small amount on a pencil eraser will kill a person, but a rat can eat 10 times that amount. I could go on for two days with examples."
The winter 1987 issue of PETA's newsletter contained an article about the live dissections of dogs at universities. The article focused on a dissection of a dog that was not fully anesthetized. According to the article, the dog was cut open from throat to tail and left to lie in pain for a day while different classes of medical students practiced surgical techniques on it.
lab was optional for the Medical Physiology class. He did not go.
"Every med student I've talked to is uncomfortable with the lab," he said.
Oothout, who does research with rats, said animals could be used for research in a humane manner.
Burnett said PETA also had campaigned against cosmetic and other product testing on animals, mass breeding of animals for laboratory use, the fur trade and factory farming. Factory farming is the assembly line-like production of animals for meat, according to PETA.
Gilbert Greenwald, chairman of the physiology department, said that about 90 percent of the students in Medical Physiology went to the dog lab. He said the lab was important to the learning process and that although the Med Center had cut back from around 40 a year to around 10, dogs would continue to be used for demonstration.
The dogs are always heavily anesthesized. Greenwald said.
"The truth is not being told," she said.
about what gives them the right to exploit animals.
KU's Meador said PETA had a right to its point of view, but that animal rights activists were not always informed about all aspects of laboratory testing.
Burnett said people should think
"No researcher is going to torture animals for fun, that's absurd," she said. "I have understood that their face is a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."
John Brown, associate professor of microbiology, does antibody research with rabbits and mice. He said he did not believe what most animal rights groups said about animal research, but that some people in the science field could be more informed on the subject.
"I would encourage the diaglogue that has been generated by people concerned with the well-being of animals," he said. "The more knowledge people have, the less reactionary they're going to be."
Brown added that both sides could be reactionary.

New Jersey developer unveils plan for outlet mall on Kaw
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
The Chelsea Group, a New Jersey development firm, presented a preliminary site plan for a riverfront shopping center to the Lawrence City Commission at a study session Monday afternoon.
The center is to be built on city-owned land between the Kansas River and the railroad tracks at Sixth and Rhode Island streets, where the Bowersock warehouse buildings are. It would contain retail outlet stores.
The center would be 150,000 square feet of shopping space on three levels. The "barbed-wire building," the oldest building east of the bridge behind City Hall, would be preserved for historic purposes. It would be renovated for retail space as part of
the center.
the center.
The developers plan to open the center June 1, 1989. Jeffrey Randol, spokesman for the Chelsea Group, said the center needed to be enclosed by the end of this year so the interior work could be done during the winter. To accomplish this, demolition of the existing buildings would have to begin in September.
City Manager Buford Watson said that as landlord of the center, the city would be responsible for extending water and sewer lines to the site and for parking and traffic-way changes. He suggested a ceiling of $3.5 million for city expenditures on the project.
The commission will consider the lease for the property at the July 5 City Commission meeting. The final site plan will be submitted to the
commission at the end of July.
Randol said the first level of the center would open onto a landscaped walkway by the river.
If the plan is accepted, Watson said, the city will build a parking lot with 675 spaces north of Sixth Street between Connecticut and New Hampshire streets. One or two bridges over the railroad tracks would provide shoppers an entrance to the center on the third level.
Watson said the traffic pattern in the area would be reconsidered, but any changes in the intersection at Sixth and New Hampshire streets would have to be approved by the state highway department. Any changes at the riverfront need to be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Old frat house victim of two fires

According to the fire report, the department responded to a call at 10:57 a.m. and extinguished fires on the first-floor stairway and the roof. They were called again at 4:54 p.m. to put out burning material
The Lawrence Fire Department put out two fires Sunday at the former Theta Chi fraternity house at Ninth and Emery streets. The house, built in 1959, has been unoccupied since 1972, and its condition has deteriorated.

Lawrence firefighter Bob Coleman said that both fires were "suspicious" and could only have been the result of an arson. The department found no evidence that could identify the arsonist.

Bill Kelly: the man for whom the bells toll
Lawrence choir conductor called demanding
By Karen Boring
Kansan staff writer
That Sunday in the church, something happened to the music. The timing was off. At the end of the piece, the director ripped up his music in front of the congregation and gave his choir what-for.
William L. Kelly directs both the touring handbell choir of Plymouth Congregational Church and the Lawrence City Band. He is well-like and well-known.
One of his best-known qualities is his insistence on perfection.
Cindy Montgomery, Lawrence junior, has been in Kelly's bell choir for four years. She laughed as she told about him ripping up his music in front of the church six weeks ago.
"We never did that piece again," she said. "He has the music tacked up in front of the practice room as a reminder."
The words "perfectionist," "demanding" and "good director" are echoed by others who have enjoyed his leadership Lisa Fisher, Lawrence senior, played in the bell chair for eight years and served as the coach. She recently returned to the choir for its summer tour.
Fisher described Kelly in one word: demanding.
"He's more of a perfectionist than any other director I've ever worked under," she said.
William "Bill" Kelly, leads handbell chair members in rehearsal. Kelly has been the director of the touring handbell choir of the Plymouth Congregational Church for 14 years.
The Plymouth Festival Ringers returned June 22 from two weeks
in England, Scotland and Wales. The Festival Ringers is a student group, composed of high school and college students. Three of the 14 students who went on the tour are KU students.
Kelly's bell choir performed at Plymouth Church on Sunday in its last concert until September. The ringers played a dizzying number of bells as their gloved hands flew across the stage and later in fluid slow-motion.
Later, Kelly said one piece they played, "Beside the Still Waters" by Howard Starks, could almost make him cry.
"I'm very emotional," he said. "Music has got to get to your heart through your ears."
The Festival Ringers tour every summer under Kelly's direction. Leslie Michel, Lawrence junior, has been on six bell tours, including trips to the East Coast, Michigan, Hawaii and England. The band performed at events of the trip, and the chair's fundraisers pay for one-third.
Barbara Kelly, Bill's wife, is the tour planner and organizer.
"When we get back, when people ask us what we did in England, she doesn't want us to say that we just went shopping." Michel said.
Sightseeing is a big part of the tours, Michel said, mostly because of Barbara Kelly.
Barbara Kelly said that the students got a chance to see a lot on the trip, perhaps more than they wanted. She excitedly pored over a map of Great Britain and

talked about the virtues of travel.
From left, Jenny Haile and Amy Thompson, Lawrence High School students, Leslie Michel and Cindy Montgomery, KU students and Bill Pinches, also from Lawrence High, participate in a bell choir practice at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
Barbara Kelly often speaks for both herself and her husband, but he doesn't seem to mind. In fact, he may prefer it that way.
Michel laughed when asked if Barbara was in charge of the tour.
Sue Schellie/KANSAN
"Oh yes," she said. "Bill worries about the music and Barbara worries about everything else."
Everyone seemed to agree
Bill put it a different way when Barbara left the room.
"Bill's responsibility is making music." Barbara said.
"She does all the work, I do all the music." he said.
The Kellys have directed the bell choirs at Plymouth Congregational since the church acquired the bells in 1974. The program has grown from one to seven choirs. The Festival Ringers is the touring group. Bill Kelly also directs the two adult choirs.
Barbara Kelly directs the four training chairs, one each of sixthgraders, seventh graders, eighthgraders and ninth graders. When there are no spaces available on the Festival Ringers, she also has a high school choir to join in to participate in the Festival Ringers.
"I don't pretend to be a musician," she said. "They know that when Bill comes along, he's going to turn the notes into music."
The number of ringers in each of the choirs is dictated by the number of bells the chair rings; vacancies are filled in as they occur. The Festival Ringers ring five octaves of bells with 14 ringers.
Barbara Kelly explained that the children learned more complicated music as they move up but also that of the bell choirs performed.
"The theory is that everyone has to ring in church three to four times a year," she said.
"We're just like a grade school music program," he added.
Bill Kelly is a retired KU professor of music education and a former high school band instructor. He was most recently associate dean of educational services at KU, retiring in spring 1987.
"You think of bell choirs as 'ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling,' but we play music," he said, emphasizing the last word.
Ringers includes the "William Tell Overture," "Sabre Dance," "The Stars and Stripes" and "Memory" from the musical "Cats."
Kelly wasn't always sold on the idea of handbell ringing.
In 1973, an 11-year-old boy from Plymouth Congregational Church choked to death. The pastor and the music director of the church suggested to his parents, Chuck and Erma Fisher, that they present a living memorial to the church in their son's name. The

original three-octave set of the Brad Fisher Memorial Bells was dedicated at Thanksgiving 1974. Lisa Fisher, present member of the Plymouth Festival Ringers, is Brad's sister.
Since 1974, the church has added two octaves and a second three-octave set.
As Youth Music Coordinator of Plymouth Congregational Church when the bells were dedicated, Barbara Kelly, who had never heard a handbell choir play, was
faced with starting a bell choir program. Bill asked to be left out of it.
"I thought it was ridiculous," he said. "What a dumb way to make music. I said, 'Don't get me involved in this thing.'"
Now, 14 years later, he has no intention of quitting.
"I wouldn't give my life up for anything." Kelly said seriously.
"What would I do with my time? Probably just play golf more than I do now."

'Negotiator'aids KU students
Bv Aracelia Perez
By Aracelia Perez
Kansan staff writer
When it comes to solving problems, housewives have "Hints from Heloise," lonely hearts have "Dear Abby," and KU students have Robert Shelton.
Shelton is the emubdman for the University of Kansas, a position that has been referred to as KU's mediator.
"I'm not a mediator or arbitrator," Shelton said. "A mediator brings two parties together to discuss their problem, while an arbitrator gets two parties to agree on a solution he comes up with. I am more in the middle, a negotiator."
Last year, Shelton had 112 cases to negotiate. Most of those, Shelton said, were from undergraduates and related to University regulations, practices or employment. Of the 112 cases, 15 involved foreign students.
A case, Shelton said, is any recorded contact that requires further investigation, whether it be for one hour or for days of research.
On one unusual case, Shelton said he dealt with a foreign student who wanted to remain in the United States. The student said if she went to her homeland, she would be killed.
She was not doing well in school, so she lost her financial aid. Without any money, she could not find a place to live.
The student sought political asylum. She was told she did not have grounds for political asylum, but she could seek religious asylum.
She chose not to do that because it would bring attention to her family and might have placed them in danger. They were members of a religious group that was being persecuted in her homeland. Shelton would
not reveal the religion to keep the case confidential.
Shelton said he did everything he could for the student, but in the end he was unable to help her. Today, he is unsure what happened to her.
He said that was one of the most difficult cases to deal with because he could not find a solution.
Most of his cases are not that extreme; they usually deal with students' and instructors' complaints against one another: complaints about unfair grading or personality clashes, instructors' claims that students have cheated, students' claims that instructors are unfair.
That was why the University Senate Executive Committee, a group composed of University Senate-elected students and faculty, voted about 10 years ago to create the position of ombudsman.
The idea for the ombudsman, though relatively new to KU, started in Sweden in the 18th century. The king of Sweden at the time was planning a trip outside the country. The king didn't think he could trust his cabinet members to manage the country properly, so he appointed a separate individual who had nothing to do with the cabinet to watch over them.
The term ambudsman, loosely translated from Swedish, means "one who is listening for the people." Shelton said.
"It takes someone who is separated from the regular structure," he said. "Things that are normally taken care of begin to fall in the cracks. They get all tangled up, and I have to unravel them."
Shelton, who has been ombudsman
for three years, said that students with complaints preferred to use the ombudsman's services rather than go through a complicated grievance procedure. But there have been cases in which he has recommended that students go through formal channels.
"Sometimes it's better to go through formal channels because the judicial boards have the enforcement powers," Shelton said. "Ombudsmen only have the powers of recommendation, but people listen very seriously. After all, the University created this position; they must have wanted it."
All future ombudsmen are to be appointed by the chancellor. Shelton has been reappointed for another three-year term, beginning July 1.
Shelton works half-time as ambudsonman, using his regular faculty office in 104 Smith Hall to allow for separation from the administration. Shelton is an associate professor of religious studies.
The Associated Press
Solving University-related problems keeps Shelton busy, but he still has his classes to prepare for. Recently, he published a book, "Loving Relationships."
Although there are times his job makes him work long hours, Shelton said, he is glad to be ambudsman. When he first learned of his nomination, he decided not to look at the position as a promotion, but as a position of confidence and trust.
"People have to feel confident in you to work with you in confidential positions," Shelton said. "I'm glad that people feel I can do it because it shows you're trusted by all levels of the University."
Wonder had no immediate plans to challenge Mayor Coleman Young, whose term expires in 1989.

Although the Constitution in the Fourth Amendment recognizes "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures," the Columbia Encyclopedia notes that "all land presently or ultimately belongs to the state, for whatever is not actually owned by the public authority may be transferred to it by condemnation proceedings under the power of eminent domain."
WOULD THE PROPOSED BYPASS BE AN EXPRESSION OF PROGRESS?
In his Saturday Column of June 18, Dolph Simons, Jr. claims those opposed to the proposed $38 million, 14.3-mile bypass are ignoring "the recommendations of traffic experts." (and) various individuals recognized as being knowledgeable about proper growth and expansion." According to Mr. Simons, "proper growth and expansion" lead to "better public schools . . . new parks . . . and . . a growing number of services for the citizenry." Yet the phenomenal economic activity our country has enjoyed the last three decades has given rise to public education, public park and public transportation systems that are increasingly inadequate and dangerous.
Why will private property be seized so that the bypass—this is the term its proponents originally used to describe this exit-laden artery—can be built? In the June 19th Journal-World, County Commissioner Warren Rhodes explains that "The road is an essential link in developing the East Hills Business Park, a city-county industrial park near the east end of the of the proposed traffic."
paid advertisement
Black's Law Dictionary resolves the apparent dilemma by defining eminent domain as "the power to take private property for public use . . . the Constitution limits the power to taking for a public purpose." Obviously, constructing a bypass which will ensure the success of a privately-owned entity is a blatant misuse of the power of eminent domain.
What can our governing appartus do about the growing traffic problem? By instituting a comprehensive public transportation system (Lawrence had such a system in the 1950s) and drastically limiting the circumstances under which junior high, high school and university students could drive cars, it_would reduce the volume of traffic and thereby eliminate the alleged need for a bypass.
PASTA COOKING
If the powers-that-be choose to respond to Lawrence's growth by periodically seizing private property and building expensive economic stimuli, a growing number of locals will be penalized for our city's growth. Such a cycle cannot logically be categorized as an expression of progress.

Drought slows sales of farm supplies, manufacturers say
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Just as farm equipment manufacturers were beginning to enjoy a rebound from an eight-year slump, the drought is turning customers cautious and cooling off the recovery.
Farmers who had been sizing up tractors and harvesting equipment have put off purchases while they wait to see if their crop will be saved by rain, said Bill Hassenfritz, owner of Hassenfritz Inc., a farm equipment dealer in the southeastern Iowa town of Mediapolis.
The "attitude of farmers was really quite high," he said. "I can't say (the drought) has completely blown that, but it has put it on hold."
Duane Hawbaker, parts manager at R&M Equipment Co. at Indiana, south of Des Moines, said farmers not only had held off new investments, but some also were putting off repairs on equipment for fall
harvests.
At Deere & Co. in Moline, III., spokesman Bob Combs said the manufacturer was watching the situation closely, but it was premature to gauge the drought's impact on the industry.
Before the drought, the farm equipment industry was showing significant gains from a severe slump.
The farm debt crisis of the early 1980s and the ailing agricultural economy had dealt a hard blow to manufacturers of farm equipment.
But a recovery in farm fortunes in the past two years has allowed farmers to reduce debts and make long-postponed purchases of equipment.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reported conditions for farm equipment sales were brightening in the first quarter of 1988, extending gains made in the second half of 1987.
significant slide backwards with respect to farm equipment sales." said George Dahlman, an analyst who follows the farm equipment industry for the Minneapolis securities firm of Piper Jaffrey & Hopwood Inc.
Then the drought it.
"In the near term it will mean a
"Farmers remembered they are only two years into the recovery and not over liquid." he said. "Those expenditures that don't have to be made, won't be made."
mature, won't be able. Dahlman said he expected the cautious attitude to remain for another six to eight months. But while the drought comes at a bad time for the industry, he said he didn't believe it would push manufacturers into bankruptcy.
spokesman Glen Christians at Massey Ferguson said, "The manufacturer that reaps the rewards this fall will be the one who targets those farmers who come out (of the drought) the best."
Damage from drought is spreading
The Associated Press
From Christmas trees to canned peas, trouble is brewing.
From cherries in the trees to honey from the bees, from tomatoes to potatoes, the suffocating drought in mid-America is taking its toll on scores of smaller crops that could result in huge losses for thousands of growers.
"It will affect just about everything grown from the Rocky Mountains east to Ohio . . . just about anything you consume that comes from these parts of the country," said Neil Harl, professor of economics at Iowa State University.
Although much of the spotlight about the drought's impact has focused on the grain and livestock industries, the worst dry spell since the dust bowl also threatens foods such as fruits and oysters.
"What everyone talks about programs, the USDA and the government," it's always corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton and peanuts," said Harry Foster, secretary-manager of the Red Tart Cherry Growers in Michigan. "Everybody else in the world that grows the 200 other things — they're sort of forgotten."
Michigan cherries used for baking, for juices and jams are suffering, he said, and the trees are beginning to show stress. Foster said about 150 million pounds of tart cherries — about 100 million pounds less than normal — will be harvested in the state in the next six weeks.
in be visited in the Midwest and Southeast, other crops hit
by the drought could shrink supplies, change diets and raise prices at grocery stores, restaurants and taverns.
The drought has pushed barley prices higher, increasing the possibility of higher beer costs. One analyst said if the price of barley goes through the roof, the price of beer could increase by up to 4 percent. In Louisiana, the low water level of the Mississippi River has allowed saltwater to move upstream, making oysters more susceptible to predators, and thereby endangering next year's crop, said Mark Chatry, marine laboratory director at Louisiana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
a dike is being built to block the saltwater flow.
In north Georgia, some honey production has dried up. In Wisconsin, the pea crop has shrunk. And across the Midwest, thousands of Christmas trees planted this spring — which won't mature for several years — have been lost.
Gene Gress, who runs a Christmas tree farm with his wife in Polar, Wis., said he lost the 10,000 trees he planted this spring. Because of the maturation period, consumers most likely won't notice the losses until the mid-1990s.
Other Midwest growers already have talked of losses of 30 percent of this year's planting that could rise to 60 percent without rain in two weeks, said David Bauman, associate executive director of the National Christmas Tree Association.

Independence Days 1988
Independence celebration promises fun
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
This weekend, Lawrence residents will take a sten back in time.
At the sixth annual Independence Days festival, they will eat Indian tacos and homemade peach cobbler, race canoes on the Kansas River, talk politics on the front porch, attend concerts and watch a shoot-out.
For three days, July 2-4, Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets, will be the site of a celebration honoring not only the birth of the United States but also the history of the heartland.
"We're offering a lot of new and different things this year," said Judy Wright, Independence Days executive director. "Independence Days has grown every year."
This year, guitarist Chet Atkins will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday. Atkins, whose latest album is "Stay Tuned," has been recording country, rock and jazz music since the 1940s.
Getting things started Saturday morning is the Free State Run, sponsored by the Lawrence Track Club.
Two races will be run, said Marilyn Hall, club president. A one-mile free fun run will begin at 7:15 a.m. An 8-kilometer race, with an entry fee of $10, will begin at the same time. Both races will begin and end at the Holiday Inn Holldorne, 200 McDonald Drive.
The less-active can watch the Independence Days Parade, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at South Park. The parade will go north on Massachusetts Street to 7th Street.
Independence Days will end with a fireworks show and concert by the Lawrence Symphony Orchestra at 10 p.m. Monday.
But many activities, shows and demonstrations will be taking place in Burcham Park between Saturday morning and Monday night.
On Saturday and Sunday, basketball fans will be able to see the sport in a historical context in the play "The Basketball Men," written for Independence Days by Mary-Kate Tews of Lawrence.
The play is about a meeting between two basketball legends: Phog Allen, Kansas coach from 1919 to 1856, and James Naismith, Kansas coach from 1838 to 1907, who is credited with inventing the game.
Tews said the play was not inspired by the Jayhawks' national championship win in April.
"I started the play in September, so I take full credit for them winning the Final Four," she said with a smile.
Political enthusiasts also will find something of interest at Independence Days. The Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters will bring state and local politicians to Burcham Park to participate in old-style political discussions called
Front Porch Politics.
Susan Catts, chairwoman of the league's voter service committee, said the following politicians would be among those taking part: State Rep. Jesse Branson, D-Lawrence, who is seeking re-election to her 44th district seat in the state legislature; Mike Dupree, who is running as a Democrat for the Kansas Senate in the 2nd District; and Phil Heinhardt, who is running as a Republican against Jim Slattery for U.S. Representative in the 2nd District.
Local artists, woodworkers and wheatweavers, a gunsmith and others will be selling and displaying crafts and art or demonstrating their skills.
Independence Days visitors also will see concerts by Last Kansas Exit, Allerd Packer Memorial Band, the Mackeyer-Hunt Band, New Grange Music Center and City Six. Also, there will be 33 food boots, Wright said.
took booklets.
An adult ticket costs five dollars.
That price covers admission to the festival all three days. Tickets can be bought at 26 Lawrence businesses or at the gate. Children ages 5 to 12 get in for $3, and children under five will be admitted free. Tickets are available for the Monday fireworks show for $2.
A free shuttle service will be available to transport people from downtown to the park. No parking will be available in the park.
Gnarlies come out for festival

They are faithful friends and servants. They help get rid of bad luck, bad dreams and unclear thoughts. They come in many shapes and sizes, and they will be at the Independence Day festival in Lawrence July 2-4
They are Gnarlies, and they were created by Lawrence artist Sandy Dale. Or rather these mixtures of dwarfs and gnomes are "captured" from their woodland hiding places but into clothes to make them visible.
To Dale, a Gnarlie is real. She calls them benevolent woodland spirits, and even talks to them. She may spend hours sculpting their facial features or sewing clothes for them to wear, but in a part of her mind Gnarlies are real, independent creatures that have existed for thousands of years.
She sculpts the faces, hands and feet of the elf-like figures from a foam-latex material; the rest of the Gnarlie is made of the clothing material.
"They like to wear children's clothes," she said. "They disguise themselves as children because they think they can find a home that way."
Dale makes several "breeds" of Gnarlies. Among them are Gaelic Gnarlies, North American Prairie Gnarlies and Gwarfs. Gwarfs are larger than the rest and are distant cousins of the Gnarlies, Dale said.
Each Gnarlie has individual facial features and its own benevolent powers.

Independence Days 1988
Pioneer-era design a real bang for gunsmith
Gun-making art preserved by local man
By Monica Hayde
Kansan staff writer
Pioneers relied on their guns as much as they relied on axes or other tools. And a Lawrence gunsmith is trying to keep alive the skill and art that went into designing and making a gun.
Pat Donahue, Lawrence lawyer and gunsmith, said that his hobby kept an important part of history alive. Donahue will demonstrate the steps that went into creating a 19th-century firearm at Independence Days, which will run Saturday through Monday.
"I'm amazed at the capacities of our forefathers," he said.
THE MAN WHO KNOWS HOW TO SHOT A RIFLE
Techniques for making guns have changed since the 1800s, of course, but Donahue prefers to do things the old-fashioned way. He said that he had no interest in modern guns. He even designs and builds some of the machinery and tools used to make guns.
Donahue will demonstrate how a gun barrel is forged out of steel, how bullets are cast from lead and demonstrate how grooves are put into the inside of the barrel. That process is called rifling. Donahue built his own rifling bench. He said that it was similar to traditional rifling benches but that it had some of his own personality in it.
Every hand-crafted rifle or gun has a part of its maker in it, Donahue said.
"It's easy to identify makers of pieces," he said. "They were very careful to put in their own trademarks and style."
Donahue became interested in firearms during a hunting trip in Paraguay in 1972. He was hunting wild pigs with crude but accurate guns made by a Paraguayan Indian. One year later, Donahue was researching and making his own firearms.
"At the rate I work, it takes about four to six months to finish one," he said.
Donahue has completed about nine guns. He said that he would occasionally make a gun for a friend, but he does not sell guns. This will be Donahue's fourth year at Independence Days.
"I want to stress that firearm safety is a big concern of mine," he said.
Pat Donahue. Lawrence gunsmith, aims to make Independence Days a great time
Gun club to relive Old West
Steve Traynor/KANSAN
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
Every weekend for the past three months, gunfighters have gathered on the parched Kansas prairie to sharpen their skills as marksmans. This weekend, the shootists will bring their act to Independence Days.
The skits will be re-enactments of what could have or may have happened in the "Wild West" between 1870 and 1890. The plots are all a group effort, Crawford said.
"One of us will come up with a story to perform, and then we'll put it to the rest of the group," he said. "Then we tear it apart."
The group, established in 1982, has performed at every Independence Days celebration and competes around the country against other gunfighting clubs. Last weekend, it placed first at the regional competition in Tonganoxie.
Crawford and George Mills, executive director of the National Association of Gunfighters Teams, are planning this year's national championships during Cider Days, Sept. 17-18 in Topeka. Mills said all previous championship competitions had been in California. Mills and Crawford hope at least 20 of the 114 teams in the country will compete.
The Lawrence Gunfighting Association will perform its re-enactments of Old West gunfighting Saturday and Sunday.
Competition isn't the only reason the 16 members of the group enjoy performing.
The association, with its 16 members in either authentic or homemade costumes, will present four skits a day. Mike Crawford, president of the association, said many of the skits will be different from last year's.
performing.
"It's really fun," said Donna Mosher, Lawrence resident. "I like the people."
Nikki Klink, also of Lawrence, said her father got her interested because she enjoyed acting. "I like to act out the Old West," she said. "The Old West was more fun than anything else."
Mills agreed. "I know I think like everyone else when I say we were all probably born 100 years too late."

Sci-fi writers coming to KU
By Jeff Pitcher
Kansan staff writer
Some of the best science fiction writers of the year will be at the University of Kansas in July for the John W. Campbell awards ceremony and for a writing seminar.
Since 1979, the Campbell Award has been presented at KU as the culmination of an intensive study program for people interested in writing or teaching science fiction. The award will be given to the writer of the best science fiction novel of 1988.
In the past, writers such as Arthur C. Clarke and Frederick Pohl received the award.
Pohl, a two-time award winner, will be at KU during the writing seminars to help the students.
The students who participate in the writing seminars come from across the United States. Many already have had some of their writings published, said James Gunn, professor of English, who is directing the seminars.
"The students who participate in the seminars are a lot more serious than students who are taking a writing class because it's the best of two evil," Gunn said. "They have to pay a fee and take time to get here, so they're usually
Usually between 25 and 30 students participate in the seminars. Gunn said.
better students."
The students for the first seminar are given six hours of graduate credit upon completion. They are required to read 30 science fiction books from a variety of authors before the first day of class.
the second seminar isn't as intense as the first. The students are awarded three hours of graduate credit, but they must submit three stories before class begins.
The Campbell Award will be judged by a committee comprised of established writers who come from as far away as Sweden. Gunn, the committee chairman, has written more than 16 novels and 80 stories.
To be able to teach a class about science fiction, an instructor should have read at least 25 science fiction books, but 100 would be more likely, Gunn said.
The award trophy stands about two feet tall with a thick metal oval mounted on a wood base. Another award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for the best short work in science fiction, also will be presented at the ceremony, which will be at the Adams Alumni Center.
writers Harry Harrison and Brian W. Aldiss created the Campbell Award in 1973 to honor the late editor of the popular science fiction magazine Analog. Campbell was editor for 34 years until his death in 1971.
Atkins to play at festival
By Debbie Bengtson
Kansan staff writer
Although he has never been to Lawrence, he has fond memories of Kansas' landscape and motels, he said yesterday in a phone interview from his office in Nashville, Tenn.
"My fondest memories were the wheat fields and the motels," he said. "I remember the fire escapes were ropes tied to the inside of the motel room, leading out the window."
He has collaborated with Mark Knopfler, guitarist and songwriter of the band Dire Straits, on his last two albums, "Stay Tuned" and
"Sails." He also speaks fondly of helping Dolly Parton get her first recording contract.
"But of course that was a long time ago." he said.
the ugly," he said.
"I just try to stay healthy and keep away from the Grim Reaper." he said.
He celebrated his 64th birthday June 20.
He said he was working on another album, which should be released this September. It is a contemporary album that he has been working on for six months, he said.
Atkins will bring a four-piece ensemble of keyboards, bass, drums and, of course, guitar to Lawrence. He'll perform selections from his albums, old and new. He also will perform Ray Stevens' song "Rolex," the song that asks if Jesus ever wore a Rolex watch.
KCK bans fireworks shows; local Kansas festivals still on
Kansan staff writer
By Linda Gaumnitz
Though Wyandotte County residents won't get a fireworks display this Fourth of July, they can still help Lawrence and Topeka celebrate.
On Thursday, Joe Steineger, mayor of Kansas City, Kan., and the city council decided to ban the sale, display and discharge of all fireworks. Yesterday, Washburn County unincorporated areas. Violating the ban can lead to a $1,500 fine and 90 days in jail.
Lawrence will celebrate the Fourth with its sixth annual Independence Days Celebration at Burcham Park. It also will be host to the Mainline Classic Tennis Tournament and the Kansas Triple Crown Softball Series.
Topeka will have its sixth annual Go 4th festival this weekend on the Washburn University campus. The celebration, which features a parade, talent shows and a fireworks display, is being hosted by local people, said Ping Enriquez, Washburn's director of University Relations.
"I was tired of everyone going to Kansas City and Lawrence for the Fourth of July because Topeka has the reputation for not doing anything," said Enriquez. "We felt that, with the celebrations underway, other parts of the state, that we should put on this patriotic show."
The festival will run July 2 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and July 3 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., with a fireworks display at 10 p.m. Monday.
Approximately 165 non-profit organizations will sponsor game, information and concession booths. The Buffalo Soldiers Rodeo Company will parade on the campus, and the Kansas Lottery traveling stage show will make its debut. Enriquez said both shows were new to the festival.
He said entertainment would be provided by a potpourri of local amateur talent, including gospel rosa palm rower the Washburn University Singers.
"We rarely have repeat acts at the festival," Enriquez said. "We have to remain accessible to the community because there are so many talented people in the city."
the fireworks display, "Concert in the Sky," is synchronized with taped music. Enriquez said that the organizers of the celebration consulted with the city's meteorologists and fire deputy and decided to saturate the ground below the display with water before the show.
Festival-goers also could attend the 34th annual Mulvane Art Fair, which takes place in conjunction with Go 4th. About 150 artists and craftsmen will display and sell their work, Enriquiez said.
"We were concerned at first with the weather conditions," Enriquez said. "I think the people understand that we'll make sure everyone is safe."
"The issue comes up every year," Steineger said. "But due to the extreme drought in this area, we decided to ban the fireworks."
But no such celebrations are in store for Kansas City, Kan.

Downzoning of the Oread neighborhood again was before the Lawrence City Commission last night. No action had been taken as of late last night, and the commission was discussing the planning commission's findings of fact in detail.
Because the commission had originally proposed the issue of downzoning in the Oread neighborhood, the council withdrew the proposal was considered.
"I wonder if the best avenue for this to take at this time is a withdrawal." Commissioner Sandy Praeger said.
"Doesn't a withdrawal leave it up in the air?" Commissioner Mike Amvy asked.
The area being considered for downzoning is bounded, roughly, by Ninth, Illinois, Tennessee and 11th streets.
Downzoning in the Oread neighborhood as proposed would change the area from the current zoning, allowing apartment buildings, to a zoning which would allow up to two units on each lot. The zoning change would not affect existing apartment buildings except that they could not be rebuilt if destroyed.
The planning commission recommended that the commissioners reject the proposed downzoning with the stipulation that property owners who wished to downzone their properties could do so.
The commissioners discussed two possibilities: withdrawing the issue or denying it, and thus concurring with the planning commission. The commission did not consider approving the proposal.
Commissioners Mike Rundle and Dennis Constance expressed concern about concurring with the planning commission and thus accepting all of its findings of fact.
Public comment on the issue was unanimous only in its plea for an end to the issue.
"If you're talking about withdrawal or denying the issue, I might ask you for withdrawal," she said. "I don't know anyone who is interested in voluntary downzoning. What we were looking for was direction from the city on the development of the neighborhood."
Marci Francisco, who represented the Oread Neighborhood Association, argued for the withdrawal of the proposal.
Richard Zinn, who represented two property owners who are opposed to the downzoning, asked for concurrence with the planning commission.

CARVER
THE CARVER RECEIVER WITH ASYMMETRICAL CHARGE-COUPLED FM STEREO DETECTOR
--give you the RMS wats you need for today's recording advances plus virtually noise-free stereo FM reception. Carver has designed a receiver with astonishing performance. An instrument designed to make the most of innovations such as stereo-hi-fi digital and video audio discs. An extraordinary synergy of circuitry incorporating two of the high identity art's most advanced technological breakthroughs Bob Carver's Magnetic Field Power Amplifier and his Asymmetrical Charge Coupled FM Detector.
Meet the original Canver Receiver, the one that has stunned critics and audiophiles with its combination of power, features and finesse.
Monitor and dub between two sets of tape decks. Match the meter output range to your listening levels. Even switch to mono to detect speaker and cartridge phasing problems
Consider, there are very few IWt watt-per-channel receivers on the market today. Frankly no other company has discovered how to make adequate amplifier power as affordable, light, compact and cool to operate as Carver. Their loss is your gain
Pick up to six FM and six AM stations at the touch of a button without having to tune all over the dial. Even activate a special AM filter circuit to cut hiss and sharpness. All in a commercial receiver lacking the innovations and human engineering Carver has become famous for
Choose from two sets of speaker outputs a combination of both or eliminate them entirely for headphone listening through the Carver Receiver's special headphone amplifica-
Only the Carver Receiver can surmount the inherent problems of sound reproduction which plague lesser powered receivers at all listening levels.
At your fingertips, the comprehensive control of your entire system. On the front panel control for turntable video/audio disc player selection, an auxiliary input selector, and two auxiliary output connectors.
With the Caner Receiver you command 150 watts per channel and a fully digital quartz transmitter, which is through a highly sophisticated and meticulously engineered pre-amplifier section.
Not only can you individually control bass treble and midrange tone, but the loudness course are. And all tone controls can be used like a transistor of the preamplifier circuit for "flat" response.
You see, even at modest listening levels your speakers are making peak power demands which cannot be fulfilled with your existing amplifier. Lightning-fast transients, combinant crests of demand created by multiple waveforms and high intensity-packs.
Conventional, weaker receivers never deliver enough power, and somewhere, just before each sound pulse is finally formed. It gives out and sends a sort of electronic 'note of regret' called clipping. This sharp high-end distortion veils the sound terribly, undoing all the accuracy of recording, cartridge and electronics as well as speakers
At moderate listening levels, you may not have noticed it. Yet when you sonically compare the Carver Receiver to any other receiver in straight A/B comparisons, you'll INSTANTLY notice the improvement which adequate power makes
Because it's patented Magnetic Field Amplifier and ultrasophisticated speaker protection circuitry delivers 150 watts per channel, you can truly appreciate your favorite music
Unlike conventional amplifiers which produce a constant high voltage level at all times irrespective of the demands of the ever-changing audio signal and indeed even when there is no audio signal in the circuit at all, the Magnetic Suspension system provides a highly efficient. It produces exacty and only the power needed to carry the signal with complete accuracy and fidelity.
At all times the Carver Receiver monitors your speakers for conditions that could cause damage, allowing them to cool off long before they reach a state which could be damaging. The same circuits also guard against surges caused by shorts and accidental dropping of the tonearm on a record when the volume is turned up.
These built-in precautions afford you new listening freedom because you don't have to be afraid to unchain the power of the Carver Receiver. Whether you are spinning your original copy of Dark Side of the Moon or a state-of-the-art Compact Digital Disc of the 1812 Overture you can play it at the volume you want without compromising sound quality or your snail-
The resulting spaciousness, sonic impact and sheer musicality will invigorate your existing speaker's system; your own ears and those of your friends.
The Carver Receiver also gives you FM stereo performance unmatched by that of any other receiver. As it is transmitted from the station the FM stereo signal is extremely vulnerable to distortion, noise, hiss and multipath interference. The FM stereo system in use today, the signal to noise ratio of FM stereo has been degraded fifteen times (more than 23 dB)
However when you engage Carver's Asymmetrical Charge Coupled FM Detector circuit the stereo signal and result is fully separated as result it is fully separated ambience with space, depth and ambiance!
You'll suddenly pull in stations in surprisingly distant cities and suburbs. Underpowered but interestingly programmed college FM stations will be noise and distortion-free. Stations previously overpowered by strong adjacent signals will sound as steady as they were alone on the dial. Stations which throw intermittent turrants of intolerable racket will be pacified. The special circuit can prevent that, so do that with your volume control—but when you crank up a feeble station it will not be submerged in a sea of hiss and multipath.
You will also appreciate the AM section Meticulous attention to a very aspect of tuner performance gives you an AM section with true high performance. The AM receiver with such high performance anywhere
The Carver Receiver has been designed for serious music listeners who seek flexibility and convenience.
We know you will want to visit your nearest Carnegie School for personal audition of this instrumental ensemble.

Local tennis tourney nets pros
Pro tourney exciting for tennis buffs
By Jill M. John
Kansan sportswriter
For the second consecutive year, Lawrence tennis enthusiasts will have the opportunity to enjoy professional tennis.
A segment of the United States Tennis Association Pro Satellite tournaments is being held again this summer in Lawrence. The Classic, which opens Friday morning at Robinson Center, offers professional level tennis, said Mainline tournament coordinator Scott Perelman.
Last year's second place finisher,
Grant Chang, competed at Wimbledon
the third time.
"There is no doubt that this tournament is a stepping stone," said Perelman, who is also the Kansas men's tennis coach. "A player can surface at this level and go on to do really well; just look at Chang."
High quality players make the tournament a prestigious event and exciting to watch. Perelman said.
"This is a great opportunity for people in Lawrence to come out and see the best 10 days of tennis that'll be played in the region all year." Perelman said. "This is a major sporting event and I guarantee that those who do come out and watch will come back."
The tournament, which was called the Rock Chalk Tennis Classic last year, is sponsored by Mainline Printing and Dinwiddie Chevrolet, who contributed about $15,000.
The tournament offers $12,500 in prize money. The winner will earn $1,375 and each finisher slightly less.
Perelman brought this segment of the USTA tournament to Lawrence as a community service. Neither Perelman nor the University will profit from the tournament.
The Mainline tournament in Lakeland, FL, led our USTA seeding held this summer.
Players are ranked by circuit points collected from their finishes in the first three tournaments. The top 48 point-getters are then invited to participate in the final Master's tournament at Lake Ozarks, Mo.
"T
This is a great opportunity for people in Lawrence to come out and see the best 10 days of tennis that'll be played in the region all year. '
-- Scott Perelman Tournament coordinator
The Master's is important because it is the only tournament where the Association of Tennis Professionals points, which determine a player's world ranking, are awarded.
Perealm said that the Mainline tournament had invited players with rankings between 350 and 900 to fill the ton,48 seeds in the tournament.
Porelman expects 200 players to compete for the remaining 16 open

KU players expect tough competition
By Linda Gaumpitz
Kansan sportswriter
Though it's not Centre Court at Wimbledon, Lawrence's Mainline Tennis Classic will offer KU tennis players Craig Wildey, Jeff Gross and Chris Walker a shot at professional competition.
The 2nd annual Classic opens Friday at Robinson Center.
"The overall environment at the tournament will be very competitive, with players from 19 foreign countries and 32 states coming to play," said Scott Perelman, tournament coach. "I'd like to see my players do well. They're not just in it for experience, they're in it to win."
The three players already have advanced to the tournament's main draw, beginning Tuesday. Gross and Walker received wild card berths from Perelman they advanced to last summer he appeared in last summer's main draw.
Last summer Wildey advanced to the main draw, but was defeated in the first round. Gross, who also competed last summer, lost in the qualifying matches. Walker will be meeting in the Classic for the first time.

and ranked 894th in the course.
"If I'm serving well, then I should do "ill," Wildey said. "This is an important week for me, because I've been working and coaching, on top of trying to get ready for the tournament. I've got to go out playing with a
lot of confidence."
Walker, who played on an Austrian circuit two years ago with Wildey, said that he was looking forward to competing.
"Matches are matches," said Walker, a Grand Rapids, Mich., junior. "The tournament will just give us the experience and knowledge." But it'll be a tough tournament. There will be no weak players."
Most of the competitors will be aspiring young professionals, Perelman said. He expected about 200 competitors in Friday's qualifying matches for the 16 available spots in the main draw. Main draw competition starts Tuesday.
Gross, an Overland Park sophomore, said, "Last year, I was a little bit intimidated, but that experience will help me out this year. Going into high school, my parents' game have improved both physically and mentally, which is a good sign."
"I played in the Open as a warm-up for the Mainline Classic, to see what I needed to work on," Gross said. "I had to improve on my serve and volley."
Gross said that by bypassing the qualifying matches would give players a better opportunity to do well in the main draw.
Perelem said, "It's definitely important to the players to participate in something like this. I encourage my players to get out and play."
Wildey said, "Anyone who plays could win. If a player had to go through the qualifying matches, it could either help or hurt him. He may have been given a seat or may have had a chance to get accustomed to the courts here at KU. I hope it's really hot, because I've become used to it."
Spoonhour finalist for Kansas post
By the Kansan staff
Southwest Missouri State coach Charlie Spoonhou is a finalist for the vacant Kansas men's basketball coaching job, the Springfield Leader-Press reported today.
Southwest Missouri State athletic director Bill Rowe told the Leader-Press that Kansas athletic director Bob Frederick had contacted him yesterday and told him Spoonhour of the final three or four candidates.
"He didn't say 'two,' but he didn't say 'five' ever," Rowe said.
Frederick said a new coach could be hired by the weekend.
He estimated that 25 to 30 applicants expressed interest in the job. The deadline for applications was Monday.
Frederick said three to five finalists would be determined at a search committee meeting last night. How many would not release the names of candidates.
"I think it's an impressive list," Frederick said.
Earlier, Frederick had set a July 10 target date for hiring a new coach. He was asked if the accelerated team would be able to sign one of the top two candidates.
"I hope so," Frederick said. "I'm confident we will be able to sign the candidate we want."
Frederick said the names of candi-
lors imported by the media were
general.
Some of the coaches mentioned include Duke coach Mike Krzeyzewski, Ohio State coach Gary Williams, West Virginia coach Gale Catlett and former Kansas assistant coach Bob Hill.
Most coaching candidates earn far less than Brown did at KU

The new Kansas men's basketball coach could be moving into a new tax bracket.
Athletic director Bob Frederick said that Brown's base salary was $79,000 in 1987-88 and would have increased to $85,000 in 1988-89. Brown's total earnings, including revenue from his summer basketball camp, shoe contract and television and radio shows, were reported to be between $300,000 and $500,000.
Most reported candidates for the job earned far less than Larry Brown, according to newspaper estimates.
The Columbus Dispatch, Cincinnati Enquirer and Cleveland Plain-Dearer indicated that Ohio State coach Gary Williams had an $80,000 base salary. Their estimates of his total salary ranged from $145,000 to more than $200,000.
The Durham Morning Herald, Greensboro News & Record and
Scoreboard
The only coach mentioned in the search who was in Brown's league financially was Kentucky coach Eddie Sutton.
Sutton had a base salary of $80,000 and a total salary of about $500,000 in 1887, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Frederick said that he was prepared to offer more than Brown's 187 salary to the new coach.
Raleigh Times estimated Duke coach Mike Kryzewski's base salary was between $75,000 and $80,000. The newspapers estimated his total salary in 1988 was between $110,000 and $150,000.
Williams added his name yesterday to the list of rumored candidates who have issued statements indicating they were not interested in the presidential race. Eddie Sutton, Purdue coach Gene Keady, Wichita State coach Eddie
"I think that we will," Frederick said. "That's something that doesn't come up until we agree with somebody. We will be competitive with other top schools in the country."
Southwest Missouri State coach Charlie Spoonhour's base salary was $67,500 and his total salary was about $100,000, according to the Springfield Leader-Press.
"With some inclusions and some exclusions, that's in the ballpark," Frederick said.

Frederick said an executive search firm had been hired to make preliminary contact with some coaches and to find out background information on some candidates.
The committee would then discuss the candidate.
"We have to make an effort to protect the confidentiality of the candidate and their schools," Frederick said. "And we have to make an effort to protect our institution also."
The timing of Coach Larry Brown's departure from Kansas for the San Antonio Spurs was one reason for the committee's secrecy, Frederick said. He said increasing media interest in the selection process at major colleges was another factor.
All finalists do not have to be interviewed before the job is offered.
"sound vobably"
first person we interview, "Frederick said."
"We're in a real fishbowl hiring in the middle of summer like this," Frederick said. "The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."
He said that there were two drawbacks when big-name coaches were reported to be interested in an open coaching job.
"Number one, the people at his school will know he is not happy there," she said.

Draft caps big year for Big Eight
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - When basketball practice opened last November, lots of people thought the Big Eight could be in for a big year.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the Big Eight has five players drafted in the first round by the team, the nextUMger said. The coach, Luker Kurger said seven months ago.
As the season wore on to an all-Bligh Eight showdown between Oklahoma and Kansas in the NCAA championship game, Kruger was not alone in that prediction. Yesterday, when it met no one even acted surprised
Everybody had known for weeks that Danny Manning, Kansas' two-time all-America and the Big Eight's all-time leading scorer, would be the Los Angeles Clippers' choice as the No. 1 selection. Then, picking fifth, the Golden State Warriors went for K-State guard Mitch Richmond.
A short time later, the Washington Bullets took Oklahoma forward Harvey Grant with the 12th pick.
with the 13th choice, Milwaukee chose Iowa State's Jeff Grayer. And completing the Big Eight's sweep through the first round was Missouri's Derrick Chievous, the choice of the Houston Rockets with the 16th selection.
As it turned out, the Big Eight five first-rounders also were The Associated Press all-Big Eight first team.
"It's a fitting conclusion to a great season for the Big Eight," said Tim Allen, director of the Big Eight Service Bureau. "The five players drafted in the first round made tremendous contributions to the Big Eight, and there's no question they'll be remembered for all they contributed to their institutions and to the league."
In the third round, Utah chose Oklahoma guard Ricky Grace. The San Antonio Spurs, now under former Kansas coach Larry Brown, used the team to win over Archie Marshall, the hard-working, hard-luck forward from Kansas.
If Coach Brown gives me the chance, I'd like to try.
1,
Archie Marshall
A second severe knee injury last
winter ended Marshall's senior season, and, it was widely thought, his career. But he and Brown were close during their days together at Kansas.
Even after the Jayhawks beat Oklahoma to win the national championship, Brown and Manning had talked of the disappointment they still felt for Marshall, a quick, ball-handling forward who had spent the previous year recovering from an injury to the other knee.
Marshall had told friends he might like to try professional basketball. And Brown, who left the Jayhawks this month to become San Antonio's coach, made him the final player drafted.
"I If Coach Brown gives me the chance, I'd like to try," Marshall told Jeff Bollig of the Kansas sports information office last week. "I don't know if I could be ready this year, but I'd try to be ready the year after that."
Nobody will be pulling harder for Marshall than his close friend Manning, who enters the NBA with 2,951 college points.
Chievous leaves Missouri as the No. 2 scorer in Big Eight history with 2,589 points, with Grayer No. 4 on the all-time list with 2,502. It was the first time in college basketball history that three players with so many career points had all played at the same time in the same conference.
Richmond, a junior-college transfer, played only two years for Kruger, but led the Wildcats to two straight appearances and this season finals. It is Regional. His two-year point total of 1.327 is a K-State record.
Grant, another transfer student,
led the Big Eight last season with almost 10 rebounds per game.

The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Mike Tyson may have fought himself out of some big paydays with his devastating first-round knockout of Michael Spinks.
Tyson's 91-second destruction of Spinks on Monday, in a fight that may have grossed $70 million, left little doubt of his total domination of the heavyweight division. In fact, Tyson has become so dominant that questions are being raised about who might be able to stand up to him in the ring.
"It may be difficult to find an opponent the general public will want to see," said Mark Ettess, president of Trump Plaza. "Tyson's marketability is now more difficult because it appears no one can give him a fight."
Tyson is tentatively scheduled to fight England's Frank Bruno in London on Sept. 3, but even that fight is up in the air while Tyson wages a different kind of battle in the courtroom against manager Bill Cayton.
"Who knows what I'm going to do?"
Tyson said, "m just going to go
away."
Cayton was served with a suit filed by Tyson only minutes before the fight began, and after the bout Tyson hinted he may retire rather than fight again with Cayton as his manager.
Tyson confidant Jose Torres said, however, that Tyson, who turns 22 on Thursday, had no thoughts of retiring.
"That's bull," Torres said. "He's going to fight Sept. 3. I'm positive."
waged over control of the champion's career, alleges that Cayton conspired with his co-manager, the late Jimmy Jacobs, to get Tyson to sign a new contract in February when both knew Jacobs was dying.
Tyson's suit, part of a battle being
"I am very disappointed with Mike," Cayton said. "Mike Tyson knew all along that Jimmy and I were truly co-managers."
Tyson, who earned some $20 million for slightly more than a half round of work against Spinks, may find himself fighting for considerably smaller pawpaws in the future.
With a potentially lucrative fight against cruiserweight champion Evander Holyfield at least a year away, Tyson has run out of legitimate opponents.
"I don't see a real big market for a domestic fight soon," said Etess.
whose resort has first refusal rights for a Holyfield fight. "They can probably do some business in London for Bruno, but not here."
Don King, who promoted Monday's fight, said he envisioned Tyson embarking on a foreign fighting tour after the Bruno fight.
"I think Tyson is the type of fighter who could be sold around the world in an ambassadorial tour of fighting," King said. "Potentially, he's the greatest heavyweight champion of all time."
"My only hope is that I have the opportunity to earn his trust," King said. "When Mike Tyson talks, Don King listens."
King sat at ringside Monday night with Tyson's actress wife, Robin Givens, and her mother.
