Bostonians to greet pope
From Kansan Staff and Wire Reports Pope John Paul II, after three days of peace for plea in war-torn Ireland, will arrive in Boston this afternoon and will later celebrate Mass in the Boston Columbia an expected 400,000 to a million people.
Boston officials say the city's population could temporarily double during the pope's visit. But they said the people to flock the area to see the pope. This is the first visit by a pope Boston in the city since 1964.
In forceful denunciation of terrorism, the pope declared during the sermon at the shrine, "Murder is murder, no matter what the motive or ends."
The portifit is scheduled to arrive at Logo International Airport at about 3 p.m. and will celebrate an outdoor Mass two hours later. Today has been declared a state holiday.
This is the first visit by a pope to the United States since October 1964 when Pope Paul VI addressed the General Assembly of the Catechism and celebrated Mass in Yankee Stadium.
Earlier at Galway's race track, the pope made a similar plea for non-violence, telling
YESTERDAY, THE POPE appealed Ballybriar race track and later at the Murnane Shrine in the County Mayo near Knock-to-work for peace between the warring factions.
Early today, the pope was to meet with Irish clergymen at a seminary just west of Dublin and to celebrate an open air Mass in Ireland. He will then leave for Boston.
The 59-year-old Polish pontifex made a broad appeal to Catholic youth worldwide, asking them to pray for the young war-armed "How many young people have already warmed their conscience and have subsisted the true joy of life with drugs, sex and violence," the pallid pursuit of mere material possessions"
The first security scare then occurred when a man, reportedly shotting '1 am Jesus Christ,' was in an open area while the police were grabbing by his 30s, was grabbed by police several hundred feet from the palatar altar. Police said the man was not armed, and was taken into custody.
During his week-long trip to the United States, John Paul will travel to New York, Chicago, Des Moines and Washington, D.C.
OF THE THOUSANDS expected to see the pipe in Des Moines on Thursday will be two men in white suits, one at Mount St. Scholastica Convent in Aitchison. The other are sisters, as sisters

"As soon as we found out we started writing to Cecelia." Sister Candida said.

"We've also been watching television which is something we don't usually do." Sister Melania said.
Sister Candida said she did not like television, but because the pope was on frequently, it was different.
"Usually we're too busy," Sister Candida said, explaining that they embroidered pillowcases between frequent visits to the chanel.
The two sisters, who usually get up at 4 a.m., said they were determined not to let anything keep them from seeing the Pope.
A clause in KU's definition of financial education leads to a change in what the University sees as the role of its staff. Strinvasa, chapter president of the Association of American University, writes that "the university has not done anything."
"WE KNOW WE MIGHT have a long ways to walk. I think we can make it. But the sisters have already told us if it's too far away they can't see them on television," Sister Candida said.
KU's policy, which was approved by the Regents, says that the release of tenured

Srinivasan said the University should demand an explicit statement from the Regents reaffirming that the "Regents definition of financial exigency would not be used now or in the future to compromise in the guarantees of the KU document."
The Regents definition, approved Sept. 21, says, "It shall be the responsibility of the chief executive officer of each Regents institution, in consultation with appropriate campus groups, to develop a plan for managing the financial exigency by conditions of financial exigency."
faculty is to be used "only as a last resort
after all possible alternatives . . . have in
good faith been examined, and utilized or
rejected."
Srinivasan has said that the Regents are too软弱 in defining what concepts are relevant, so require the University to try all methods of resolving a financial crisis other than academic.
B凯 Kaufman, legal counsel for the Regents, said there was only a minute possibility of KU's definition changing in favor of the Regents.
"The likelihood of that happening is extremely small. I'm reluctant to say nothing can happen, but I'm close to that point."
At a state conference of the American Association of University Professors in Michigan, Mr. Peltz called for resolution calling the regents policy of financial exigency unacceptable, Srinivasan said. KU currently is on its own definition of financial exigency with its own definition of financial exigency.

The University Senate Executive Committee has given its approvvation to the concept of a College of Engineering. The employees at the University of Kansas, Gerhard Zather, SenEx president, said:
Zuber said, "We sent the chancellor a letter urging prompt and sympathetic consideration to the Classified Senate so in that regard, we gave our support."
However, Zuther said, SenEx still has questions on how the Classified Senate would participate in University governance.
"No other non-union employee organization of this kind exists in Kansas," Zather said. "We are not completely clear whether the would fit in with others in governance."
Evelyn Swartz, SenEx member, said SenEx probably would wait until the new building is completed by Chancellor Arche R. Dykes, and then study how the new body would fit into University Hall.
ZUTHER SAID SenEx was not simply delaying a vote of recognition until Dykes decided whether the administration would grant the Senate recognition.
"We don't think it is up to us to recognize
the Classified Senate until its existence affects our own operations," he said. "If the Classified Senate requested representation then we would have specific action to take."
Joseph Collins, interim chairman of the Classified Senate steering committee, said last week that he had discussed the proposed budget with a administration representative.

Group fights for bike trail
By ANN LANGENFELD
Staff Reporter
The O-Keef-Sha Trail Conservation Committee has campaigned since March 1978 to obtain rights to an 11-mile abandoned road right-of-way between Lawrence
To bolster their efforts, the O-Kee Sha committee is sponsoring a 10-kilometer run to draw attention to a Kansas Senate bill that supports the bike trail.
At that time the committee wanted the 106-foot wide strip of land to be converted into a bike trail. They still are working to obtain those rights.
The senate bill, sponsored by Sen. Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, would make the land a part of the state park system, as a pilot bleiwage project.
The committee faces opposition from private property owners along the abandoned railroad tracks.
THE RUN WILL BE at 2 p.m. Sunday in Tonganoxie. The money earned from the $6 entry fees will help the committee's labors run efficiently. Hughes, secretary of the committee.

"It was a great idea to have this run," Hughes said. "Runners who hadn't known about our cause now are supporting it. Our support just keeps growing."
Hughes has petitions with signatures of
2,600 people supporting the bikeway and passage of the bill.
Frank Rice, Tonganoex resident and an opponent of the bike trail, said yesterday, "We own the land. Why don't you people leave us alone?" Why does Harriet Hughes leave us alone?
Last year the senate bill did not get on the floor before the legislature adjourned. It will be brought up in the next legislative session.

Norman Kirkendell, Tonganoxie resident who also is opposed to the bike trail, said the basic issue was the use of private property for public use.
THE UNION PACIFIC Railroad has abandoned the line, and the legal aspect of who has the right to use the land is unclear.
"The railroad says the land is ours. Let them use state property to build their bike trail."
HIRKENDOLL SAID he and several others were forming a group called Landowners of Kansas. In about two weeks they released a news release about the lake treat issue. He said
Kirkdillen said, "I am not opposed to take trails. I just don't trust private property should be taken over for them. I can see that we have great appeal to college-educated neceds."
He said he had several letters from state
leaders, including State Rep. Robin Leach D-Linwood; former State Democratic congressman Martine Keyes; and Sen Beverly Huff, state stating their opposition to the biketrain.
IN MARCH 1978 former state attorney General Curt Schlenker ruled that the right-of-way should go to the landowners. But some say that ruling could be challenged in
Part of the conflict results from differing state and federal laws on railroad abandonment. The opponents cite a Kansas law that prohibits right-of-way returns to the landowners.
Union Pacific officials said that the land belonged to the adjacent landowners.
The proponents cite a federal law, the Railroad Revitalization Act of 1976, which has authorized new railway public domain. The law also states that federal law should take precedence over state law.
However, the issue probably would have to be taken to court to be settled

Band Day participants endure hardships to provide pageantry
By KATE POUND
Staff Reporter
Eighty-one variations of high school band uniforms filled Memorial Stadium with color Saturday, when nearly 7,000 Kaiserslaufer gathered in Kansas musical tradition, KU Band Day.
Somewhere in the mass of musicians stood the 32 members of the South Haven Marching Cardinals, in their red, black and white hats, for the band members, who ranged from sixth graders to high school seniors. They had been awake since 2:30 that morning, and by half-time the RU-North Texas team had been hot, tired and ready to head home.
Most of the members had slept on the bus during the five-and-a-half hour trip from South Haven to Lawrence. South Haven was four miles north of the Oklahoma border.
"Everyone on the bus slept except for three of the boys in the back. They made a lot of racket." one eight grade member of the band said.
"Yeah, I wanted to kill them," her friend, Pam Hadden, said.
THE NOISEMAKERS, sixth graders Tim Turek, Brian Byers and Teddy Barlow, were excited about their early morning bus ride.
"It was fun." Teddy said. "The big kids
all got mad at us because we talked and laughed all the way down. We kept waking them up."
The parade was fun, one young musician said, but long and "kind of boring."
Without or with sleep, the band merengues at the Band Day parade in time to the Sunday parade. They marched from Central Park at Sixth and Tennessee streets to their bus near South Street.
From downtown Lawrence, the bands traveled to the KU campus and filed down the hill into the stadium for a rehearsal of their performance by student hosts from the KU Band.
GUIDING HIS CHARGES, Doug Olesn, Prairie Village senior, answered questions and gave directions to the South Haven Cardinals band.
"Where's the restroom?" one of the band members asked.
"Do we have to wear our uniforms during practice?" another asked.
"No, you don't have to wear your uniforms, just remember, please, to take your music," Olsen replied.
"He's cute," whispered one eighth grader to a gigging friend.
"Crushes. They happen every year with the girls from the bands," Olsen said, shaking his head.
Before the band headed to the field for
"Mr. Cox," one student said, "I left my music on the bus."
the rehearsal, Rick Cox, the band director,
and Carl Parker, a South Haven teacher
and coach, joined their students. They
wrote letters with questions, complaints
and problems.
"You'll just have to look on someone else's music or fake it," Cox replied.
AFTER MUSIC and instruments were collected, the students struggled down the bleachers and onto the field, where they played and played for more than an hour.
Their director just shook his head as they left.
"I like to bring my kids to things like this, so they can hear what a big band sounds like, but there are always problems," Cox said.
Cox and Parker took the afternoon solving problems. A white fur uniform helped them get around. The band members were christy, hot and ready to leave long before the game was over.
As the halftime performance drew near, students began to complain about the heat and of exhaustion.
"Mr. Cox, I'm gonna get sick in a minute," Julie Estes, an eighth grader, said.
