In1989 we were clearing 60 acres every minute.

Foreign students see new face
New director wants program to remain strong and efficient By Monica Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
Gerald Harris is the new director of foreign student services
Richard Quinn KANSAN
Each semester the Office of Foreign Student Services encounters new faces. This semester, students in charge of a new face in the director's office.
Gerald Harris has replaced former Director Clark Coan, who retired last spring after 33 years.
Harris said it would be difficult to replace Coan.
"Coan did such a remarkable job," Harris said. "I was a little skeptical about taking the position."
"I was nervous about bringing in a new director," Emery said.
Laura Emery, assistant director, said any new director would have been intimidated by Coan's reputation as a strong director.
But Emery said she had put her fears aside.
"It has been a little crazy in there," she said. "But Dr. Harris is enthusiastic and has a good sense of humor. He brings freshness to the face."
Coan said the assistant directors were highly qualified and would help Harris with foreign student orientation.
"Harris knows the field well," Coan said. "I wouldn't anticipate any problems at all."
Harris said he took the job to keep the program strong and efficient
"We will try to maintain a high degree of knowledge about all the areas that students would want to be advised in," Harris said.
He said international students had questions about government regulations and federal policies. The staff would keep up with changes in laws, he said.
"It used to be a change in regulations might occur once every five years," Harris said. "Now, changes happen maybe every other month. The difficulty is when you are trying to work with 100 students from 100 different countries. You have to be prepared. You don't and not knowing where you stand."
Although international students have government-related questions, many of their questions are the same as U.S. students," Harris said.
"Their fears are the same," Harris said. "They fear that they won't be able to make friends. They worry that failure will succeed, and if they'll fit in."
Geri Lamer, office graduate assistant, said she was working on the International Connection program with Harris. The program allows U.S. and international students to meet and develop a lasting friend-
Lamer said she looked forward to working with Harris.
"He has lots of new ideas, and I'm really excited to be a part of them," she said.
Harris said he had always been involved with international students and programs. He worked in the Office of Foreign Students when he was a graduate student at the University of Utah in 1970. Since then, he has worked in international education.
"Most people that get involved with international education find it very rewarding," he said.
Harris said he hoped to interact with the students directly. Direct contact with students is what Harris did by EM from the University of Arkansas.
"I want more contact with the students." Harris said.
Bar patrons must comply if asked to present identification, police say
By Christine Groody
Kansan staff writer
Local police say that underage drinkers are misinformed if they think they do not have to cooperate with police officers who enter bars and ask patrons to produce identification.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said this misconception stemmed from students being unaware that a pretrial rulings last month had been overturned. District Judge Jean Shepherd had been overruled in appellate court.
Shepherd ruled that looking young was a subjective judgment and not sufficient cause for officers to detain people.
Shepherd's ruling also stated that officers could ask anyone in a bar for identification but that bar patrons were not required to produce any.
This ruling stemmed from the arrest of Abbey J. Bernstein, then a Winnetka, Ill., junior. Bernstein was arrested and charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol when officers found her at the Free State Brewing Co. with a beverage in her hand.
Shepherd's ruling was overturned April 6 by the State Court of Appeals in Topeka.
According to the appellate decision, a person's physical appearance could be used as a basis for asking for identification. It also recommended that Miranda Rights be read to those detained by officers.
Bernstein's case was dropped because officers had not read her the Miranda Rights.
"Patrons can still refuse to produce identification, but officers can detain or arrest them on the spot,"
Mulvenon said.
Police do not go into bars for the sole purpose of checking for underage drinkers, Mulvenon said.
"We go in to establish good rapport with bar owners, students and patrons and to let people see that we're people too." he said.
Kelly Driscoll, owner of the Mad Hatter, 700 New Hampshire St., said he thought allowing police to check identification in bars made bar owners' jobs easier because it often was better to judge which identification was real.
The Mad Hatter has not had many problems with underage drinking this year, Driscoll said.
"You get a certain amount of fake IDs during Country Club Week. You just turn them away. Probably next week, you begin to take them away," he said.
