Pizza delivery man robbed at gunpoint
A pizza delivery man was robbed at gunpoint Monday night as he attempted to deliver a pizza to a home in the 900 block of Highland Drive, Lawrence police said yesterday.
Police said the delivery man, who worked for Pizza Shuttle, 1601 W. 23rd St., told them he had parked his car and was walking toward the house when two men stepped from behind some bushes and asked him how much the order would cost.
The delivery man gave them his wallet, which contained $60 in cash, and the men told him to walk up to the house and count to 10.
One of the men then pointed a silver handgun at the delivery man and told him to give them his wallet, police said. Both men were wearing ski masks.
A third man then walked up behind the delivery man, police said.
The men were gone when the delivery man turned around, and police have no suspects.

Riverfront mall firm receives extension
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
The developing firm that plans to build a riverfront mall east of Lawrence City Hall received a one-year extension as developer of record at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
City commissioners unanimously voted to write a letter of intent to allow Two Crowns Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, to continue as developer of record for the project until Dec. 11, 1986, but neighbors of the proposed site complained.
The firm must provide the City Commission with a comprehensive development plan before the project can be officially approved, even
Commissioner Ernest Angino said he thought the commission should extend the letter of intent for a year, just in case the developers weren't ready in six months.
though most commissioners said the city has already informally approved the project.
The longer extension prevents the commission from having to possibly review the letter again and grant another extension, he said.
"To me, the extension is reasonable and in good faith." Angino said.
John Gary Brown, 621 Connecticut St., said he was concerned about the mall because he owned property that would "almost be literally surrounded" by parking lots, according to plans that the project's general manager, Bob Simpson, had shown him.
Brown said he considered the plans an "implied threat" that his property would be taken.
The developers tried to purchase his property, Brown said. After initially refusing, Brown said, he gave Simpson a dollar figure that he might consider.
He asked the commission to exclude his property from the letter of intent until a decision could be made on whether his property overlapped the proposed site.
Angino was reluctant to grant Brown's request because property disputes will be discussed after the commission sees a comprehensive development plan.
Without a plan, there are no property lines to discuss. Angino said.
Angino also said he didn't think the meeting was an appropriate place to conduct real estate negotiations.
Commissioner David Longhurst said that if Brown thought he had a building that overlapped the proposed site, he should be concerned.
In other action, Angino asked that a proposal to add a section to the city's noise ordinance be placed on a future agenda. The proposal is a response to complaints from neighbors near fraternity and sorority houses that often are host to parties.
Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said the ordinance probably would not come up before January.
KU protesters are permitted to appeal case
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Eight anti-apartheid protesters will be allowed to appeal to Douglas County District Court, Jean Shepherd, associate district judge, said yesterday.
Shepherd decided that the protesters, convicted Aug. 13 in Lawrence Municipal Court, filed their appeals correctly by filing a notice of appeal and paying $50 in cash as bond.
Mike Glover, city prosecutor, requested a hearing in district court to determine whether the appeals could go from municipal court to district court.
He requested that the appeals, filed in municipal court, be dismissed because the protesters didn't sign an appearance bond within the required limit of 10 days after the conviction. An appearance bond is a promise to appear at all hearings.
Glover and Jack Klinknett, a Lawrence attorney representing the protesters, presented arguments at a hearing Nov. 12.
The protesters were arrested May 3 and 9 at the Kansas University Endowment Association while protesting the association's investments in companies doing business in racially segregated South Africa.
Klinknett said the protesters had the right to a new trial. But, before the cases go to trial, Klinknett said, he and Glover have about two weeks to reach an agreement about the facts of the situations on May 3 and 9.
If they agree on the facts, Klinkett said, the trials, scheduled for Jan. 15 and Jan. 29, can be avoided, and Klinkett and Glover can appear at a hearing to present written and oral arguments for the cases.
"I have every expectation that coming to an agreement is a good possibility," Klinknett said. "Both the prosecutor and myself will be

putting forth a good faith effort in that direction."
Glover said he disagree win the decision. Despite their efforts to agree on facts, Glover said, some facts still may have to be decided by a jury.
The eight protesters are Aimee Alderman, Olathe junior; Judy Brow, KU library clerk; Clark H. Coan, a 1979 KU graduate from Lawrence; Michael Foubert, Lawrence graduate student; Kristine Learned, Mulvane sophomore; Laird Okie, 1883 KU graduate from Lawrence; Gabrielle Otto, West Germany senior; and Kathryn Steger, Leavenworth graduate student.
Learned and Otto are appealing two convictions each and the others are appealing one conviction each.
The appeals were filed Aug. 23 and the hearing or trials will be in January.

The Rev, Richard Taylor, Topeka, listens while Ken Wallace, owner of the Jayhawk Cafe tavern, 1340 Ohio St., discusses new liquor laws, Taylor and Wallace debated the merits of the new laws last night in the Kansas Union.
Lobbvists disagree on liquor law
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
Liquor lobbyists from both sides of the issue discussed the pros and cons of state laws last night at the Kansas Union.
The Rev. Richard E. Taylor, president of Kansas for Life at Its Best Inc., and Ken Wallace, chairman of the Kansas Club and Tavern Association, battled over liquor issues, including the July 1 raising of the drinking age and its effect on drunken driving, in front of a small crowd in Alderson Auditorium.
During the debate, sponsored by the KU Democrats, the speakers attacked each other's stance and never retreated.
Wallace, owner of the Jayhawk
Cafe. 1340 Ohio St., said that liquor
laws in Kansas had put the state up for ridicule.
"The Kansas liquor law for years have been kind of the laughingstock of the nation," he said. "They've been something that has often shown Kansas in a bad light."
"We're talking about the one drug that caused more human suffering than all other drugs combined," Taylor said. "We're talking about a drug problem, and he makes it a joke. He thinks our laws are silly and funny and he would pass scorn and ridicule."
Taylor said that Kansas ranked high nationally when it came to stiff
drug control laws, and that alcohol was a drug.
"We're talking about a drug problem," he said.
The liquor issue is nothing personal, Taqi'lor said, it just comes down to something that's wrong and needs to be changed.
"I love my friend," Taylor said, patting Wallace on the back. "I'd just like to cut his sales to zero."
Taylor said raising the drinking age had resulted in a decrease in fatal accidents in the 18- to 20-year-old age group.
Wallace said that statistics presented by those who supported raising the drinking age to 21 were not totally accurate. He said that the figures were selective and missed several important points.
Residence hall offers housing during break
By Bob Tinsley
Of the Kansan staff
McCollum Hall was kept open over Thanksgiving recess for residents of University housing who wanted to stay there.
Because the program was such a success, the office of residential programs would like to try it again during the semester break, Fred McElhenein, director of residential programs, said yesterday.

The cost of staying at McCollum during the 22 days of break would be $110, he said. No meals will be served. At least 50 people must sign up for the hall to stay open.
"This sounds like an early deadline," McElhenie said, "but we need to arrange for staff."
The office of residential programs, 123 Strong Hall, will accept applications until Tuesday.

Residence halls will close for semester break at 9 p.m., Friday, Dec. 20. They will reopen at 9 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 12, 1866. The first meal served will be breakfast on Monday, Jan. 13.
The office of residential programs also is beginning to prepare to hire housing staff for next fall.
About 50 percent of the positions on the 110-member staff will need to be filled, McElhenie said. Scholarship hall directors, assistant residence hall directors and resident assistants
will be hired.
Job descriptions should be available soon at the office of residential programs, he said. The names of those hired will be announced March 21, he said.
The office of residential programs has received 95 housing contracts for next semester. McEllenbie said he didn't know how many contracts were still out, nor how many residents intended to leave at semester. The halls will be near full occupancy in the spring, he said.

Residence Hall voted to give $1,500 to sponsor a planned campus visit by Jihan Sadat on Jan. 22, said Drew Blossom, AURH president.
Sadat is the widow of Anwar Sadat, Egyptian president who was assassinated in 1981.
However, a spokesman for Student Union Activities said yesterday that it was not yet certain whether Sadat would come to the University.
SUA also would sponsor Sadat's appearance. The event would also be sponsored by the Student Senate and the KU International Club.
