Tenants
one, so many tenants are getting their deposits back." Chapman said. "But obviously, some aren't getting their money back, which is clearly against the law."
The complaint filed with the attorney general says that Jayhawk West's management has been unresponsive to tenants' questions about deposit returns.
"When tenants have questioned the local management about the failure to return security deposits in a timely manner, responses range from the check is in the bank to the check got lost to 'there have been several lockkeeping problems.'" the complaint says.
CAROLE HARVEY, a spokeswoman for the attorney general's consumer protection department, said she had received the
complaint and the office was investigating.
If the attorney general's office decides that Management USA has violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, the office can take several actions against the company.
Chapman said that the attorney general could seek an injunction to prevent the company from doing business in Kansas, levy a $2,000 fine for each violation or issue a consent order telling the company to "clean up its act."
Jim Shears, Jayhawk West manager, said he didn't know what to tell tenants when they complained about delays in receiving deposit payments. The bank had not given him a reason for the delays.
'IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY of the management company to receive paperwork, process payments and write the checks," he said.
As far as I know, they're trying to get checks to residents as soon as possible
Jennifer McClaffan, Topea junior, received her $20 deposit check from Management USA about two weeks ago — nearly three months after she moved out.
Although McClaflin said that the company had been uncooperative, she dropped her suit against Management USA last week.
"All I ever got was the run around," she said. "We talked to the manager, we talked to the main office, we talked until we were blue in the face."
LaRue moved out of her apartment June 1. When she hadn't received her deposit after 30 days, she filed a petition in small claims court.
REBECCA LARUE. SALINA senior, received her $195 deposit check last month, but had to go to court twice to get it.
When 10 days passed and she still hadn't received her check, she returned to court to plead guilty.
Representatives of Jayhawk West and Management USA failed to appear at the hearing on Aug. 2, so LaRue was awarded a default judgment.
LaRue received her check four days later. HIGDON YESTERDAY APOLOGIZED for delays experienced by Jayhawk West tenants. She said that a check of company records showed that all outstanding deposit checks had been mailed to former Jayhawk West tenants.
Beer continued from p. 1
Promotions for LA claim that the beer is "reflective of today's lifestyle." An advertisement says that "lighter activities, lighter social attitudes and lighter choices in the foods we eat and the beverages we drink are more important." DIREK WEEHLING, SPORKSMAN, FOR
anneuse-Busch, said yesterday that LA was selling well nationally after overcoming initial problems associated with being a new product.
The store sold more than 40 cases in two weeks.
"Anheuser-Busch knew there would be many difficulties trying to generate awareness of the brand." Wehling said. "This is an entirely new concept, and it is going to take some time."
Wehling said that the main problem with selling LA in college towns was convincing students to try the beer.
"We got a good deal on LA, and we passed the cheap price along to the customer," said Shirley Nichols, head clerk at the store. "It is our good deal comes along, we'll do it again."
"Young adults are a very difficult market to figure out," he said. "The key in a town
such as Lawrence is getting students to buy it and try it out. a lot of students have an initial objection to LA just because of the nature of the product."
Slattery
Patrons at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., occasionally request LA out of curiosity about the beer's taste, said John Kline. He sat at the bar and a Leaventown sophomore
"PEOPLE ASK FOR it because they want to see what it's like," he said. "But most of them have some complaint about LA after tasting it."
Ken Wallace, owner of the Jayhawk Cafe.
1340 Ohio St., said a couple of his customers drank LA regularly. But Wallace said he doubted that the beer would catch on in Lawrence.
"I don't believe students are interested in LA," he said. "This is a beer for the more mature drinker. It's for the person who enjoys drinking beer but doesn't want to get intoxicated for one reason or another."
continued from p.1
In August, Miller Brewery began test-marketing Sharp's LA — its entry in the low-alcohol beer category. Sharp's LA is being sold in five areas in the United States.
advocating large cutbacks in financing for student loans.
"Reagan wanted to devastate the pro-
gram," he said. "I don't know what he do after."
David Berkowitz, Douglas County Democratic Party chairman, warned those present that a second Reagan term would mean four more years of hardship for middle-class Americans. Berkowitz's remarks were mattered in shatterings of applause from party members.
AT THE STOREFRONT headquarters last night, posters lined the walls of the crowded room. Children weaved among the party faithful, oblivious to the political exchanges around them. The headquaters 'opened followed the traditional Labor Day campaign'
Regardless of who wins the presidential election this year, Slattery said, moderate members of Congress must compromise if the U.S. government is to accomplish anything during the next four years.
"The Kassebaums and the Slatteries are not that far apart from each other on the issues," he said, referring to Sen. Nancy Kassebaum R-Kansas.
OTHER CANDIDATES APPEARING at the opening included State Reps John Solbach, Jo Bo Charlton and Jessie Branson, all of whom are Lawrence Democrats running for re-election, and Lawrence Seaman, who will face incumbent State Sen Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence.
