Commissioners to assess bonds for parking lots
Lawrence City Commissioners will consider issuing 104,000 in public parking permits for the first time in a commission meeting. The commission will meet at a plow on the fourth floor of the First Avenue building.
The bonds would finance the installation of parking lots near the new city hall at Sixth and Massachusetts streets. The lots would be located behind Reuter Pipe Organ Co. 612 New Hampshire SL, and at the site of Massachusetts Street in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.
In addition, amendments to the city's cereal malt fragrance ordinance will be approved during the next week of reading. The changes were approved on Tuesday, reading at last week's commission meeting.
THE CHANGES to the ordinance would prohibit persons from holding an open container of beer on public streets, sidewalks, alleyways and parking lots. It also would prohibit persons from having open property without permission from the owner.
The commissioners also will consider a request for a sign variance from the gill company. If the signature of the company's pole sign is less than the eight feet above the ground that is required by the sign
The sign ordinance requires that all signs conform by the end of October, or that a variance to keep the sign be requested.
Incident in park prompts inquiry
The Lawrence Police Department has initiated an internal investigation in the wake of complaints that the police used a party bus at night in breaking up a party at South Park.
Sean S. Santoro, 539 Walnut St., Mission was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after the police arrived at the scene to depress a party at the band-instand in the
The party, billed as the Full Moon Celebration by the two Lawrence residents that organized the event, was comprised of people playing percussion instruments, howling and "just having a good time" Barry Bursenberg, Overland Park junior, said.
A spokesman for the police said the four officers who attempted to disperse the party were injured when they first arrived.
After the police gained the crowd's attention, the police spokesman said, the group calmed down. However, Santoro, Mission senior, started yelling and when asked for identification, became belligerent to provide identification, police said.
Santoro could not be reached for comment, but other people at the party disputed the police's version of the incident.
The witnesses said that the party began to break up when the police arrived.
"As Sean was leaving, he said 'Yes sir massa, I'm a-leavin'.' "Bernstein, one of the party's organizers, said.
"The next thing we knew," Bernhard said, "Sean was being dragged across the bandstand and thrown against the pillar."
The police said Santoro had claimed that police were hassling the group and that the people had a right to be in the war
During the ensuing struggle, police said Santoro almost pulled two officers over the handstand rail.
Witnesses who attended the party, however, said the three officers who detained Santoro used unnecessary force.
"I don't want to call it police brutality," Bernstein said, "but they were unnecessarily rough."
Berstein said six other people were maced by the police.
Lt. Vernon Harrel, who is in charge of the criminal investigation, declared to comment on what he said would make a recommendation to Chief Richard Stanix as to the truth of the case.
If the charges are substantiated by the investigation, Stanwix could use disciplinary actions ranging from an oral reprimand to dismissal of an officer.

From page one
$1,440 for food and fuel because of the rising inflation rate, according to Dom W. Parson, director of forensics. The group received an allocation of $3,660 this year.
Parson said that failure to increase funding for the program would result in KU teams becoming less competitive.
Budget hearings will continue tonight and the University Theatre, the KJ Chamber and Concert Music Series and the Student Bar Association will present their requests for
The Finance and Auditing Committee also supported the two organizations, thethropic Club and Women in Law for full supplementary funding. The two groups did not appear before fall budget hearings last month.
Davis said that after hearings all the requests his committee would make its recommendations to the Student Senate at its meeting Nov. 14.
ne funds for the increases will come from either alterations in present Revenue Code line allocations or an increase in the student activity fee, he said.
