Professor added to list of HOPE semifinalists
By HOLLIE B. MARKLAND Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
One professor was added to the list of 12 HOPE award nominees yesterday after the Board of Class Officers learned that about 25 ballots for the award had not been collected from the deans' offices of two professional schools.
Tim Bentgson, associate professor of journalism, was named the 13th nominee after ballots from the School of Fine Arts and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications were collected by the news agency, said Dan Lowe, senior class president.
BOCO sponsors the HOPE award, short for
"There was a little confusion from both sides, but there's no problem. Everything will stay the same. There will still be six finalists." Lowe said yesterday.
Honor for Outstanding Professional Educator.
A COMMITTEE OF SENIORS will interview the 13 semifinalists and pick six finalists by Oct. 19, on Oct. 24 and 25, seniors will vote for the winner, who will be announced Oct. 27 at a ceremony before the KU-Oklahoma homecoming football game.
The deadline for students to turn in nominations was 4:30 p.m. Friday, Lowe said. Students could turn in ballots at deans' offices and the BOO office.
Lowe he picked up the ballots from professional schools on Monday. He said he
went to the journalism dean's office and asked for ballots, but was told the school had none.
"I guess I must have talked to someone who didn't know," Lowe said.
CAROLE DICKY, SECRETARY to the dean of journalism, said "I guess there were just mixed up signals. He may have come in to speak." The team's many applications. None of our recall it.
Lowe picked up the journalism ballots yesterday morning, Dickey said.
Lowe said the nomination of Mike Kautsch, assistant professor of journalism, which was announced Monday, was made after votes were cast on Thursday earlier during the two-week nominating period.
Jean Mattison, administrative assistant to
the dean of fine arts, said yesterday afternoon that ballots had not been picked up from the dean's office.
Lowe said he gave Monday to the fine arts dean's office and was told there were no bureaus.
About 325 ballots were cast this year to nominate about 59 professors, Lowe said. The 13 semifinalists each received about five votes.
HE CALLED THE School of Fine Arts yesterday for the names of nominated professors, he said, but the six ballots were not enough to add another nominee to the list.
Lowe said BOCO did not strictly limit the number of semifinalists.
"We set the number at 12, but if we had 14 or 15, we'd take them all," he said.
Farm Market offers Lawrence fresh produce
By NANCY HANEY
Staff Reporter
Some of the fruits and vegetables are so fresh that dirt clings to their sun-ripened skins.
Pumpkins, squash and apples grown
locally fill the wooden tables and sturdy
baskets of the Farm Market, 1403 W. Sixth
St., that operates out of a makeshift
trailer for eight months during the
vacuum.
Georgia Jessup the market manager,
said Saturday that the market offered
its customers a discount.

"People come from all over — some from Baldwin and Topeka," she said. "A lot of them stop by after work as they are driving by."
MANY CUSTOMERS KEEP coming back, she said, because they can't find better quality produce anywhere else. This

summer, people from Topeka came to Lawrence because word had spread that the best watermelons in the area could be found at the market. Jessun said.
The market also gets customers from the bus station that is next door to the bus.
"Some people will come over to get an apple or a peach during a stop over for the
caterer."
Jessup said the flow of business varied from day to day. The busiest time, she said, was around 5 p.m. when people were coming home from work. The market closes at 7 p.m. during the fall and 8 p.m. during the summer.
The market season starts in April when spring vegetables become ripe, Jesup said. It usually closes in late November after all the pumpkins, apples and nuts have been sold. The market opens between 8 and 9 a.m., seven days a week.
"THE BIG ITEMS in the summer are the watermelons and cantaloupes. In the fall it is pumpskin and apples." Jessup said.
The market buys produce from several area farmers and from a farm in Butler, Mo., about 80 miles southeast of Lawrence, she said.
The atmosphere is casual around the stand as Jesup offers samples of homemade eder to customers and gives advice made out of Indian corn and sushi.
The good feelings are reciprocated, Jessup said, when customers bring pies made from fruit bought at the market for her to sample.
"I think it's the friendly atmosphere and the good quality that bring the customers back."
BASKETS OF PRODUCE and life-size stuffed dolls displayed in front of the market help attract travelers along Sixth Street. she said.
Jessup plans to expand the market, which has been operating for two years, in the spring with starter plants and house plants. She said the market will also sell putting soil and garden tools and possibly some tropical plants.
Pot smokers can get help from student support group
Staff Reporter
By DAVID LASSITER
The joint was meticulously rolled and lighted. Each person took a hit and passed it to the next in the circle.
Some gagged and choked. Others drew in the imaginary smoke easily, held their breaths until their faces turned red, then exhaled displaying big smiles.
Members of the group complained of "cotton mouth" and "munchie attacks." Soon the joint became too small for the clip and was put out.
The end of the imaginary joint was also the end of the first exercise of "Straight Ahead," a reorganized local support group designed to help people quit smoking marijuana and cigarettes. The group, started in the spring by a graduate student who is a former pot smoker, reorganized this fall and met for the first time on Sunday.
MARK, THE GRADUATE student, prefers not to have his last name used because he wants to protect the anonymity of his group members. He is a volunteer at Headquarters Inc., 1419 Massachusetts St., a counseling center.
"Straight Ahead" meetings are closed to the public. But Mark, who described the scene at the meeting, said members spent hours trying to explain the shared similar problems and feelings
The group allows people who are dependent on marijuana to share problems and complications with others having the same experiences, he said.
"The whole idea behind the group is to make people aware that they are not suffering from isolated problems," he said. "We try to make others are going through the same thing."
When people decide to cut or reduce their use of marijuana, Mark said, they are more likely to experience less pain.
THE GROUP OFTEN offers encouragement, he said, as members tell each other. "That's good that you've gone without a break," and "Sounds like you're making progress."
At times a person simply needs a substitute for pot, Mark said, which has come to serve a purpose, whether it's relaxation, escape or social activity.
"To stop and make it work takes a commitment. he said. 'They can get it done.'"
The group tries to discover activities that can take the place of pot smoking, he said. Some people jog, cook, read or see movies—it all depends upon the person. Mark said.
The biggest problem with starting a support group like this, he said, is getting people to feel comfortable enough to come to the meetings and to believe the meetings will be worthwhile.
The support group provides treatment that is not formal or professional, he said.
Because smoking marijuana is illegal, Mark said, people might be reluctant to join the group if the meetings were open to the public.
By meeting with a potential member, Mark said, he could evaluate the person's problem and decide whether the group could offer the kind of help the individual needed.
FIVE PEOPLE ATTENDED Sunday's meeting, although Mark said he knew of two others who were interested in joining the group.
People interested in joining the group must set up an appointment with Mark. He said he did this so the anonymity of the members could be ensured.
THIS IS ALSO a chance for Mark to refer other resources, such as Narcotics Anonymous, to the smoker.
Members are allowed to choose the direction he discussions will take, and few activities
