8 University Daily Kansan Campus/Area Monday, Nov. 25, 1985 Protesters wait for ruling about validity of appeals By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff Associate District Judge Jean Shepherd this week will decide the validity of the appeals of seven anti-apartheid protesters who were convicted of criminal trespassing. The seven protesters were convicted in July in Lawrence Municipal Court and appealed to Douglas County District Court in September. At a hearing Nov. 12 in district court Jack Klinkett, Lawrence attorney representing the protesters, and Mike Glover, city prosecutor, presented their arguments. Glover requested the hearing to determine whether the protesters had filed their appeals correctly within the 10-day filing period. Before this hearing, Klinknett requested a hearing in municipal court to determine whether the appeals would advance to district court. The outcome of that hearing was that the appeals would be sent to district court. The seven protesters are Aimee Alderman, Olathe junior; Judy Brow, KU library clerk; Clark Coan, a 1979 KU graduate from Lawrence; Michael Foubert. Lawrence graduate student; Laird Okie, 1983 KU graduate from Lawrence; Gabriele Otto, West Germany senior; and Kathryn Steger, Leavenworth graduate student. They were arrested May 3 and 9 at Youngberg Hall, home of the Kansas University Endowment Association, while protesting the Endowment Association's investments in U.S. companies doing business in South Africa. The protesters paid a $50 bond and filed a notice of appeal but failed to sign a recognizance form when they appealed. The form is a promise to the court that they will appear and acknowledges that they are indebted to the court. The protesters' bonds have been used to pay their fines. Six of the seven are appealing one conviction resulting in a $30 fine each, and one protester is appealing two convictions with fines totaling $75. On Jan. 13, the five protesters arrested Nov. 4 in Chancellor Gene A. Budig's suite in Strong Hall will go to trial. Members of the KU Committee on South Africa are expected to formally ask the administration today to drop the charges against the five. By Jili White Of the Kansan staff Law student team wins in moot court regionals A team of KU law students won the regional moot court competitions yesterday and will advance to the national competition in February, which is held in New York, officials said yesterday. The second-place team, from Washburn University, will also advance to the national competition. The winning team consisted of third-year law students David Adkins, Topeka; Sarah Duckers, Salina; and Emily Geilker, Shawnee. Last year, the three members were finalists in the second-year law student competition held at KU. dent competet. The other KU team advanced as far as the quarterfinals, where it lost to the University of Missouri. It consisted of Richard Morefield, Overland Park, Judith Batson-Sadler, Gulfport, Miss., and Scott Bloch, Lawrence. Eight law schools from Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri sent two teams each to the regional competition, which was sponsored by the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association and held at the Federal District Court House, Kansas City, Mo. Based on the scores of three preliminary rounds held Friday afternoon, eight teams were chosen for the quarterfinals, the winners of which advanced to the semifinals. "Once we got into the finals a lot of the pressure was off," Adkins said. "We had a really good round overall. Everything went well." Moot court competitions simulate the appellate court process where one council, usually the petitioner, presents its side of the issue and the other council, the respondant, presents its side. The petitioner is allowed a three minute rebuttal. The New York Bar Association submits a legal issue to the schools and teams write briefs for early scoring. The brief counts for 40 percent of the team's score. The oral argument counts for 60 percent of the score. This year's case involved a First Amendment issue about cable television. A panel of judges analyze student oralists on their style. Points may be gained for how students answer judges' questions or whether they avoid the questions asked. Geliker wrote her team's brief which placed second in the competition with 87 points. The team from the University of Missouri placed first in brief writing with 88.33 points. Adkins and Duckers gave oral presentation as the petitioners in the final round and earned medallions, plaques and a trip to New York for the national moot court competition.
