City police release name of Dallas junior who died
Lawrence police yesterday released the name of a 20-year-old student who died in his sleep sometime Monday night or Tuesday morning.
The body of Douglas E. Collins, Dallas junior, was discovered by a roommate who attempted to wake him Tuesday morning.
Alan Sanders, a Douglas County deputy coroner, said yesterday afternoon that an autopsy conducted Tuesday had not revealed a cause of death. Sanders said that there was no reason to think Mr. Kearney was of anything other than natural causes.
Mr. Collins, a business major, grew up in the Kansas City, Kan., area and had graduated from Stanley-Blue Valley High School.
Actions upheld against AKLs
Disciplinary actions taken against Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity were upheld this week by the executive board of the Interfraternity Council.
The AKL house, 2021 Stewart Ave., had appealed an Oct. 4 decision of the IFC's Judiciary Council that placed the fraternity on social probation for the rest of the semester and disciplinary probation for the rest of the school year.
The sanctions were levied against the fraternity after Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, 2005 Stewart Ave., filed a complaint with the IFC alleging that several AKL men had exposed themselves to alcohol at the AGD house after a party Sept. 12.
The fraternity could take its case to the IFC general assembly, but Glenn Jewell, AKL president, said yesterday that he would not file another appeal.
Students from the School of Engineering will exhibit projects at the 65th annual Engineering Exposition this weekend at Learned Hall. The exposition will be from noon to 6 p.m. tomorrow and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Engineers to exhibit projects
The exposition will have ten exhibits, including a robot, an inexpensive home elevator for handicapped people and a machine of rockets being fired at target balloons.
The engineering laboratories at Learned Hall will be open for tours.
Pikefest nets charity $2.500
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity raised $2,500 for the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross during its Piketest fund-raiser last month.
Kenny George, chairman of the annual event, announced the amount yesterday. The activities included live music in the backyard of the fraternity at 2000 Stewart Ave. The Delta Gamma sorority arranged a dunk tank, and food was sold.
George said that the $2,500 represents the money left after expenses for the event, which was Sept. 7 and attracted about 1,500 people.
Former students gain grants
Nancy L. Zuschig and Phyllis E. McNeal, two former KU students, recently received grants to continue their education in theology, and in the office of study abroad, said yesterday.
Zuschlag, who left for Denmark this month, received a Fulbright Full Grant Scholarship to do research in biology and museum studies.
MeNeal, who left for France this month,
received a French Government Teaching
Society certificate.
Both grants pay for the students' tuition, expenses and room and board, Herzfeld said.

Dole promotes Human Development Center
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ
Staff Reporter
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., made what he called a nonpolitical, nonpartisan visit to campus yesterday to promote the new Human Development Center at the University of Kansas.
Dole said yesterday that the center, made possible recently by a $9 million appropriation he helped secure, would be the first of its kind and receive nationwide attention for its research concerning handicapped Americans.
"This is going to become a national resource," he said. "Not just a KU resource."
DLEE SPOKE TO about 250 people in the auditorium of the Computer Center after appearing at the Law School where he
answered students' questions and made a personal donation of about $1,300 to the KU Vietnam Memorial Fund.
During question and answer periods at the Computer Center and at the Law School, Dole said he did not want to make his visit a political, partisan event.
"I'm not here to make a political speech," he said. "In Hall. 'But I would if someone asked me."
Chancellor Gene A. Budig, in his introduction of Dole at the Computer Center, stressed the role Dole had played in bringing the funds for the research center to KU.
"This is the person who made it possible," Budig said. "Our new center will house programs addressing the lifelong needs of handicapped people."
THE CENTER IS designed to be a research and training center for the education, rehabilitation and treatment of handicapped people, Budig said.
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public services, said the appropriation had ended a long wait.
She said the center had not yet been named.
"We have spent a long time waiting and hoping and anticipating," she said. "It is going to finally actually happen because Sen. Dole cared."
Dole said that he usually tried to stay out of special interest legislation but that he thought handicapped services was an exception.
"I felt this was the appropriate thing to do," he said, "we have always had a special interest in this area."
DOLE SAID HE and his wife, Elizabeth, secretary of transportation, recently set up the Dole Foundation to generate funds for handicapped services.
"This will be an organization to raise money to give away to individuals, groups or institutions who will help disabled Americans." he said.
"There will be no federal funding of the foundation. We've already raised about $200,000 and are looking down the road to possibly $2 million," he said.
Dole did, however, make a few political comments. He said President Reagan would have something to prove in Sunday night's debate.
"The pressure is on President Reagan to do much better. I'm not certain debates should decide who leads the country, but they are important to a lot of people," he said.
Dole also said that if the Republican Party retained control of the Senate, he would like

Clowns at bar promote non-alcoholic beverages
Staff Reporter
By DAVID LASSITER
The red noses sported by volunteers on Wescoe Beach yesterday didn't result from the cold weather or from drinking too much gin.
The volunteers, who were residence hall staff members and students, dressed as clowns and applied some rouge to their noses. They reached bar that served non-alcoholic beverages.
The non-alcoholic bar is one of several activities scheduled this week for alcohol awareness week at the University of Kansas. The group, "Responsible Drinking"", is the theme of the week.
THE SPONSORS ARE the Association of University Residence Halls, the Associated Students of Kansas, the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, the office of residential programs and residence hall assistance, the Central Assistance Center and Watkins Hospital.
The clowns sold such non-alcoholic beverages as mock champagne and the Jayhawker, a drink that resembles a strawberry milkshake. There were five, 10 and 15 gallons of milk also was held.
Winners of the milk drawing were: Kurt
Limestone, Lawrence sophomore, 15 gallons;
Milton Scott, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, 10 gallons;
Nagla Abdehlaeffe, Cairo, Egypt,
senior, five gallons; Heather Beailey, Topeka freshman, five gallons; Cindy Cohen, Mission Hills freshman, five gallons; Robert Ballin, Bailow, Ma, senior, five gallons; David Klassen, Scandia junior, five gallons;
CLIFF SAID PEOPLE she had talked to generally were interested in the information that the bar was distributing, although some students said that they liked to drink and
Joyce Cliff, assistant director in residential programs, said the event was a success. More than 500 people had stopped by the bar between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Mike Zevitz, Overland Park sophomore and member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, said that the alcohol awareness bar might have caused the poor ticket sales but that he thought that the real reason they hadn't sold very many tickets was because the charitable event, the "Rock n' n roll Rampage," was new.
To the bar, a fraternity and sorority were selling tickets to a 50-keg philanthropic beer.
"They aren't serious, I hope." she said. "I think they were just clowning around."
County voter registration could be record, clerk says
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
A record number of voters may have registered in Douglas County for the Nov. 6 general election, the county clerk said yesterday.
Patty Jaimes, the county clerk, said the final tally of voters wouldn't be completed until tomorrow or Monday.
"I am almost sure we'll have an all-time high." Jaims said.
John Reinhart, public information director for the secretary of state's office, said that although the final figures for the state were not available, John Reinhart was that registration had gone very well.
JAMES SAID ABOUT 1,000 people had raced to meet Tuesday's registration deadline. Usually the clerk's office registers people a day during pre-election registration
Tuesday was the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 6 general elections.
Presidential elections always spur an increase in voter registration, Jaimes said.
The law went into effect after the November 1982 elections when the names of many people who had moved or were dead moved from voter registration lists, he said.
ALTHOUGH THE LAW reduced the lists of registered voters, Reinhart said, the number of registrants statewide almost has reached the 1982 unofficial high of 1.2 million.
On June 1, 1984, more than 1.1 million voters were registered in Kansas, Reinhart said.
Jaimes said Douglas County might surpass the 1982 high despite the purge of the registration lists. In November 1982, 38,799 voters were registered.
In August, 32,026 voters were registered in Douglas County. By Tuesday, about 5,000 voted.
The large number of registration booths around the county sponsored by various groups contributed to the increase in registrants, she said.
HER OFFICE RECEIVED requests from about 40 service organizations wanting to register voters. Jaimes said In other general election years, the Douglas County Clerk's office receives 10 to 15 requests from groups that want to sponsor registration
Reinhard said there were more requests to sponsor registration drives all across the skies.
"More groups than ever were involved in voter registration this year," Reinhard said.
"More groups than ever were involved in voter registration this year," Reinbart said. He said he did not know the total number of registered and sponsored registration ground the state.
A wider variety of groups was sponsoring registration drives now because of an increased awareness that voting can make a difference in society, he said.
"It's not just the Republicans and Democrats anymore," he said. "More special interest groups and minorities are beating the bushes to get people to vote."
Despite the large number of registration drives, not all the potential voters beat the deadline. Jaimes said. Yesterday morning there were about a dozen requests to register to vote.
Registration is now closed until after the Nov. 6 election.
HOPE committee chooses six educators for finalists
Six faculty members were chosen as the HOPE award finalists by a student committee yesterday, said Dean Johnson, chairman of the HOPE award committee.
"It was a very outstanding field," Johnson said. "It was not an easy decision at all. We found that all the teachers were pretty amazing."
The six faculty members chosen are Frank S. Pinet, distinguished professor of business; Mike Kautsch, assistant professor of journalism; Don W. Green, professor of chemistry and petroleum engineering; Gerhard H. Zuther, professor of English; Linda McClain, instructor in occupational therapy; and Richard L. Branham, professor of design.
A nine-member Board of Class Officers committee composed of representatives from living groups, BOCO seniors, and a Student Senate representative, interviewed 13 semifinalists on Monday. Tuesday and Thursday before choosing the finalists, Johnson said.
"It was new for us too," she said. "We tried to get to know the teachers, their interest in teaching and experience at KU. We also looked for a lot of interaction with students."
Concern for students was among the attributes the committee was looking for when they chose the finalists, Johnson said.
Seniors can vote for their favorite finalist Oct. 24 and 25 at all offices of deans, in front of Wescose Hall and in the rotunda of Strong Hall, Johnson said.
The HOPE award, the Honor for the Outstanding Progressive Educator, was originated by the class of 1959 and first given in 1960.
The HOPE winner receives a plaque and a cash award between $200 and $300, said Dan Lowe, president of the Board of Class Officers.
The winner will be announced during a ceremony before the KU-Oklahoma homecoming game.
