Commission defers peddler decision
by Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
Peddlers and merchants who may pass through Lawrence gained a reprieve last night when the Lawrence City Commission postponed voting on an amendment prohibiting their occupations.
The commission put off adopting an amendment to the city's ordinance on peddlers and transient merchants at the weekly meeting.
After public comment on the issue, the commission raised questions about the amendment. Mayor Mike Amyx then moved for a two-week deferral of the amendment and commissioners unanimously approved.
Planning Director Price Banks said city staff initiated the amendment in response to citizen and merchant requests. Many merchants had complained because transient merchants that operate with a temporary structure don't have to meet strict building codes.
The amendment eliminated transient merchants — merchants that engage in temporary sales — from erecting temporary structures on private property and from erecting temporary structures in parking lots that eliminate the minimum parking spaces needed for that lot.
"If you restrict transient merchants from coming in, it's going to hurt us, it's going to hurt Gibson's, it's going to hurt K-Mart, the Malls,
everyone who does promotional activities," said Midge Rembold, manager of Southern Hills Mall. "A lot of times we pay for those people to come in." she said.
in, she said.
Bud Jennings, Bud Jennings & Sons Carpets,
Inc., 2851 Iowa St., said that allowing transient merchants "creates a precedent."
"If floorcovering is to be sold out of a tent or out of a truck," he said, "then next year we'll sell it out of a tent or truck, if that's the way you're supposed to sell it. I don't think it is."
Kim Griffin, who sells carpets throughout Lawrence, said the amendment made her sales illegal. She said her business was clean and orderly and didn't hurt the city.
Senate elections to use voting machines
By Frank Ybarra Special to the Kansan
The Student Senate Elections Committee worked out final details last night for next week's Senate elections in which student will vote on voting machines rather than paper ballots.
The committee assigned locations for the 22-24 voting machines that will be on loan from the Johnson County Elections Office and assigned people to work at each of the election sites.
This is the first time students will vote at the machines since the spring of 1984. At last year's fall election and before the special '84 swing election, students voted on paper ballots.
The boots will be in or near the schools in which students will vote on election days, Nov. 20 and 21. Students can vote between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
David Day, chairman of the Elections Committee, said that students had to go to the correct location to vote. All names and student IDs will

Student Senate will have to pay $95 for computer paper and about $500 to transport the machines, Day said.
Day said he hoped to have at least one committee member present at each voting location. The Elections Committee is also trying to recruit students and other interested people to work at the booths.

Frank Peralta, assistant machine programmer for Johnson County, will meet with the Elections Committee on Nov. 18 to explain how the booths operate, Day said. He also will be on campus during the elections to help with any problems.

Apartheid protesters receive date for trial
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Five anti-apartheid protesters will go to trial Jan. 13, after pleading not guilty to charges of interference with the conduct of public business in a public place yesterday in Douglas County District Court.
All five had planned to plead no contest, but Associate District Judge Jean Shepherd told them the only plea she could accent was not guilty.
For charges that carry a potential jail term, the only plea that can be made without an attorney present is not guilty.
The five, arrested Nov. 4 after refusing to leave Chancellor Gene A. Budig's suite, are Edward Jackson, Topeka sophomore; Ruth Lichtwardt, Lawrence junior; Michael Maher, Roeland Park
The charge that the students face is a Class A middemeanor with a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail or a fine of up to $2,500.
the students who were arrested, except for Jackson, are members of the KU Committee on South Africa and also were arrested in protests in May.
The five were among about 50 people who invaded the chancellor's suite after a rally Nov. 4 protesting the Kansas University Endowment Association's investments in companies that do business in South Africa.
Rasor said she wanted to plead no contest because, "I didn't want the hassle of a trial."
Jackson said he wanted to plead no contest because of his situation.
Jackson said he refused to leave, because he wanted to speak to Budig.
"In the literal sense, there is no contest between me and the powers that arrested me," Jackson said.
