Law students watch police beat
By JENNIFER HOLT
Staff Director
Although this past weekend was the second day of an excursion to chase scenes, robberies and thefts, four year-old KU law students witnessed how Lawrence police lay their lives on the streets.
The law students, who are among 30 enrolled in a Legal Aid Clinic class in the KU Law School, have been riding with Lawrence police officers as part of a new program to get a first-hand look at how the patrol handles problems while on patrol.
"The program teaches you that being a policeman is not always a game of copes and robbers and 100 mph chases." Eric Gillis wrote in The New York Times that always has to worry about his own life because he never knows when, for example, someone he's giving a ticket to might be on the street.
Leslie Schaefer, Wichita, said, "My ride
Saturday night made me see the policeman's job in a different light. The program helps me to sympathize with policemen and their day-to-day grind.
STAHL AND SCHAFFER agreed that the program helped establish a rapport between law enforcers and future lawyers who could share better perspectives of a police officer's job.
Schaefer accompanied one of the officers who answered a suicide call about 1 a.m. Sunday.
"I thought the police handled the write-up of the suicide very well—at least from what I could tell," she said. "They were not going to do anything to make assumptions or miss anything. Of course, there was a lot of standing around and waiting for them, too, while the police photographer and doctor worked. And then they used the usual amount of paperwork involved."
BRENDA WEST, Nekoma, said her ride Saturday night was fairly routine, even
though she was with an officer who answered her emergencies building 1, building 2. The officer she said, detained two suspects for aggrievated battery and assault and took them back to the police station.
Then she rode with the officer to the hospital to check on the man who had been beaten over the head with a club.
"I really felt I learned a lot by going with them to answer the call," she said. "I also got a word feeling following them around in public." She found that in curious bastenders as the officers did.
Although Friday night also was fairly routine for Stahl and Dee Wichita, each said she enjoyed the chance to see how policemen worked.
FOSTER SAID, "It was kind of boring because not much was going on. However, I was impressed with the officer I rode in." The police department's technicalisms of law, I asked him a lot of
questions to see how frank he'd be with me, and he was real honest.
"In fact, I think he enjoyed giving me information about mob control and the ways the Lawrence police handle crowds, especially after the Antrak train wreck."
While she rode with the officer, he palied over a speeding motorist and shot him in the chest. She screamed female, a call about a domestic dispute and a call about a jujuine who allegedly fired a gun at the officer.
Meanwhile, Stahl rote with an officer who answered calls concerning a domestic violence case and complained of a brick thrown through the window of a local bar, a traffic accident near the entrance.
Schafer said, "I've learned through this program that policemen have a way of getting their information rightly up on law issues. Maybe I can better understand their job and help make it a bit easier."

left hand," he said, pointing to a tiny, jagged break in the line.
"In my right hand, the line is clear and straight. I had a lot of problems when I was a child. I suttered a lot, I was insecure. It was a very difficult time."
"But as you can see, I've cleared that up, and I've gotten my life into focus. It shows up in my hands."
"WHEN I SEE weaknesses in a person's palm, I always encourage them to be strong in their will, and if there's something it is something about it. I try to be positive."
He said he handled each client individually on the basis of his own personal interpretation of the person's character.
"I see if I worry lines in their hand. I'm going to approach the subject very carefully," he said. "But if the hand is rather crude, then I'll be able a bit biter."
"Scoffers!" Hamilton asks, "Oh, yes,
and then I do have scoffers but only
very rarely. I can be a boaster to be a
boacher, then I try to be fairly
accurate about dates, and that usually con-
cure."
"IF I TELL them that they were very upset and feeling insured and worried a lot before I could see her, I got divorced, and it happened to be true, then that eliminates the skepticism rather than the doubt."
He said that when people stopped by after seeing his sign in the window and asked for a
reading, they seemed surprised to meet him.
"They usually expect a gypsy," he said. "They usually don't expect a man. People are usually suspicious.
"I don't get many housewives. Usually it students or people sort of on the fringe of society. People who are very established in life will not usually ask to have their palms read."
"BUT THERE ALWAYS will be some people who'll be thinking about their hands, and who they are. There'll always be hands. And there'll always be pattis." And there'll always be patis."
It took several years before he became confident reading hands, he said.
"All the books in the world will not tell you
the diversity of people's hands. Everyone's personality is so different. No book can tell you all of it. You learn to read hands through reading hands."
HAMILTON WORKS full time at Reuter Pipe Organ Company, making wooden organ pipes and, he said, he reads palms in the room. "We learn by benefit—to learn how to deal with necrosis."
"I have been charging $2." he said. "I've found that I usually charge something because people don't appreciate it unless they have to pay something. It's rather
He looks down into his own palms, as if for an answer.
"That's reality," he laughs. "It's a strange world we live in."

In dealing with foreign policy, Yeager would abandon the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with the Soviet Union.
"I SEE NO reason for it," he said. "I'd rather have a strong defense and let the chins fall as they may."
Yager said his campaign would center on the slogan "We've got too much government in the economy and not enough economy in the government."
--hair lords
So far, the slogan and some bumper stickers made by his friends have been the extent of his campaign, which he said probably would be "low-key."
Yeaer said he planned to finance the campaign himself, but could not estimate how much he would spend. He refuses to accept any contributions because he does
He is not sure whether he has much backing from the state Republican Party, he said, because he does not know any of the state party leaders.
MERLYN BROWN, executive director of the state Republican Party, said, "We've heard of him. We think he has a pretty good record. He can certainly can't take Sen. Edward Kennedy."
Yeager could have saved himself $100 by submitting to Secretary of State Jack Bryer the petition to elect a new lieutenant. Either the $100 or the 1,000 signatures would have qualified him for the nomination.
