Police offer tips for safe Halloween evening
By JOHN REIMRINGER Staff Reporter
Halloween is a spooky night full of imaginary dangers, but Lawrence police have tips to protect mortals from the real dangers that can haunt the October 31.
With Halloween on Wednesday, festivities are expected to begin this weekend.
"I think most of the private clubs and bars will be having parties this weekend," Bob Avery.
crime prevention officer, said earlier this week.
Lawrence police will be on the lookout for drunk drivers, Avery said. Students who have been driving with someone have someone drive them home.
Costumes also can cause problems.
Students attending costume parties should wear well-fitting, fire resistant costumes, he said. Students wearing ahead of masks whenever possible.
"A LOT OF times, masks don't let you see," Avery said. "Above
all, if you are wearing a mask, do not wear it when you are driving a car."
Costumes can be made fire resistant by soaking them in one quart of hot water containing nine ounces of boric acid and four ounces of borax, he said. The treatment will wash out.
Party hosts should not use candles or flammable decorations such as cornstalks or hay, Avery said.
When driving on Halloween, drivers should be on the watch for trick or treaters.
"There's going to be a lot of extra activity on the streets." Avery said. "The kids are all excited, and they're not being as careful as they should. For this reason the drivers have to be extra cautious."
Drivers should be especially careful between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. on Halloween, Avery said.
VERA MERCER, CITY clerk, said Lawrence mayors had traditional issued proclamations asking parents to limit their children to trick-or-treating between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Foreign students still need homes for holiday program
Only 11 of 47 international students who want to participate in a traditional Thanksgiving have been placed with Kansas families for the holiday, the assistant director of the office of foreign students said this week.
Dianne Stewart, the assistant director, said only five families had signed up to be hosts for international summer camps. Homeaway Program from Nov. 21 to 25.
Nov. 5 is the deadline for families to up to receive international students.
"The idea of the program is to share cultures," Stewart said, "so foreign students can learn about Americans off campus, and so the families can learn about other countries.
"It helps foreign students understand our way of life.
"And it helps the students with their English. Even when we place two students in the same home, we make sure they speak different languages so they have to speak English."

CAN NO ONE CONTROL... UH...THE POLICE?
The October 18th University Daily Kansan contains an eewitness account of the recent disturbance in Aggieville. The letter's author, a stickler for detail, points out that K-State fans who attempted to tear down the goal post after their exciting victory were simply maintaining a "college tradition". Just last year, he explains, "when we tore down the goal post ... after the Missouri game, the police at first attempted to stop us but gave up after they realized that it was a futile effort".
While this clarifying epistle's author thinks the Aggieville disturbance resulted from a "mishandling of the situation by the police." he doesn't state what portion of the scoreboard or gate receipts should have mollified the disruptive. But, because the allegedly crazed police would have overseen such an exchange, this omission, too, probably was due to the author's considerable respect for tradition.
However, he continues, this was not the case at Manhattan. Because the police used billy clubs and Mace to protect university property, "the students were able only to get away with one upright." (Here in Lawrence, of course, these police-provoked disturbances are a matter of record. Every year a few sensitive and farsighted Jayhawks periodically are driven by their anticipation of the police's response to disorderly conduct to imbibe at several local havens of free enterprise before fanning out to trespass on and/or destroy the property of others.)
