Sophomore arrested on assault charge
A 20-year-old KU sophomore, a walk-on with the KU football team, was arrested early Saturday morning after he allegedly assaulted a police officer at a private club, Lawrence police said yesterday.
Timothy M. O'Neal, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., sophomore, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstruction of the legal process.
Police were called to the Jazzaus, 926% Massachusetts St. about 1:40 a.m. Saturday and found the student arguing with a woman, police said.
When police attempted to intervene in the dispute, the student allegedly pushed Officer Peggy Cobb. Three officers tried to stop him and, after he allegedly pushed Cobb, this time into a doorway.
Police said the student refused to give him his name and resisted their attempts to handoff him.
O'Neal also had an outstanding arrest warrant on charges of allowing a person to ride unlawfully, failure to pay costs and contempt of court.
Bail was set at $1,750 in connection with the Jazzhaus incident and $35 for the outstanding warrant.
Bond for the Jazzahus incident was dropped, however, when Douglas County Sheriff Rex Johnson approved O'Neal's release on his own recognition.
O'Neal posted the $35 bond on the warrant charges, and is scheduled to appear at 7:45 a.m. Nov. 19 in Lawrence Municipal Court in connection with the outstanding warrant. He is scheduled to appear at 4 p.m. Nov. 19 in Douglas County District Court in connection with Saturday's arrest.
Brent Bahler, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., said last week that the hearing was set for 2 p.m. Thursday.
Tacha hearing set
Weather
President Reagan nominated Tacha for the lifetime position, which pays $83,200 a year, after endorsements by Dole and Kassebaum.
Today will be cloudy with a chance of drizzle, possibly freezing in the morning. The high will be 35 to 40 with northeasterly winds at 5 to 15 mph. Tonight will be cloudy with a 20 percent chance of light rain. The low will be in the mid- to upper 30s.
From staff and wire reports.
Correction
Because of a reporter's error, a story in the Oct. 23 Kansan misstated facts about the Emergency Service Council.
The story reported a decline every year in ESC money from revenue sharing and personal funds. The decline was only this year.
The story also said that the council helped 10-25 people a week since 1972, when it was founded. That number is true only for recent years.

1 dies, 2 injured in 2-car collision
Lawrence firefighters work to help the Douglas County Ambulance Service free two people who were trapped for about an hour in a car after a head-on collision. The driver of the other car involved in the accident, which occurred last night about five miles west of Kasal Drive on Douglas County Road 438, was pronounced dead at the scene.

One woman was killed and two other women injured in a two-car accident about 5:30 p.m. yesterday on Douglas County Road 438 about five miles west of Kasao' Drive, a Douglas County Ambulance service spokesman said last night.
Kansas highway patrolmen,
Douglas County shcriff's officers,
Douglas County Ambulance Service
personnel and Lawrence firefighters
responded to the accident.
By 10:30 p.m. yesterday, the Kansas Highway Patrol had not released the victims' names.
Roger Lee, Douglas County Ambulance Service spokesman, said two ambulances and a supervisor's van responded to the accident.
A third ambulance was called but later canceled when attendants discovered the driver of one car, a brown Ford Mustang with Jefferson County tags, was dead. Lee said.
The ambulance attendants,
assisted by Lawrence firefighters
worked for almost an hour to stabilize the other two patients and remove them from their car, a dark-colored Ford Thunderbird.
Lee said the driver of the car was critically injured, but did not know the condition of the passenger.
All three women were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and one woman was transferred to the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan., about 8:45 p.m. yesterday, he said.
Acting Capt. William Stark of Fire Station No. 4 said firefighters used the jaws of life, a hydraulic tool used to remove crushed metal from around accident victims, to remove both victims from the Thunderbird
James Chaney, Linwood, said he saw the driver of the Mustang try to pass a pickup truck in front of him. All three vehicles were headed east, he said.
Residents sell lawns to game-day parkers
"We were coming back from pheasant hunting and the brown car tried to pass my brother," Chaney said. "She must have seen the headlights come over the hill and tried to brake.

Some people may need money badly enough to sell the shirts off their backs, but many residents near Memorial Stadium try to scrape up a few extra bucks by selling the ground around their homes on Saturday afternoons.
In this dog-eat-dog world, these neighbors wage war against each other before home football games in an attempt to sell their lawns as parking lots. The stiff competition has benefited fans by causing eminent offers of special incentives to lure owners to park in their yards.
John Majele, Prairie Village graduate student, said Saturday that he offered friendly workers as well as "primo parking" in front of his house on Illinois Street for $3 to undercut the competition.
"You have to smile, be friendly, wave, say hello and not be too push," he said before the KU-University of Colorado homecoming event. "you also have to let him know exactly what he's going by pointing to the house."
"The beer makes a big difference," Hamilton said. "They can drink all they want."
Tim Hamilton, Wichita sophomore, stood on a curb on 11th Street, just around the corner from Merleian, with a sign telling drivers about his $5 parking places. What the sign didn't say was that free beer was part of his parking package.
Hamilton said that once he lured cars into the alley leading to his back yard, the woman next door sometimes stole his customers.
"She's taken three already today," he said. "But now she's filled, so we go to our vard."
Hamilton said rainy weather didn't matter when it came to parking cars on the lawn.
"We never see the owners," he said of his landlords. "There are big mud holes, but they let us keep money, so I guess they don't care."
"We're selling spaces for $3 instead of $5 because of the competition and the cold," Isenhour said. "Our parkers with cheaper prices,
Vicky Isenhour, Merriam junior, and Tom Soetaart, Shawnee junior, were having a sale on the ground around their house on Illinois Street.
Soetaert said he didn't care whether the cars tore up the lawn. "It doesn't matter what the front yard looks like you explain," he said.
The fervor of the competition is part of the reason John Bodle, a May KU graduate, decided to offer valet parking on the yards of houses that his father offers for rent near 11th and Maine Street. Bodle earns $100-$250 each game by selling the yards for $5 a parking space.
Unlike other lawn parking entrepreneurs, Bodle parks the cars himself because he said he could squeeze up to 50 cars onto the yards and keep the lawn from getting torn up. Besides, he said, customers like it.
A couple of hours before game time, parking lawn attendants begin showing up along streets near the stadium. Some, such as Bodle, guard the lawn entrances until the game ends. Others, such as Tom Haensich, wave down cars until they quit coming. Then they go to the game themselves.
Haischin, a May KU graduate,
said he worked for the first time
during the KU-Oklahoma State
game helping a friend sell parking
places down an alley off 11th
Street. His friend, Jim Osborn,
1017 Alabama St., parks about
20 cars on his yard every home game
for $5 a spot.
Haischin flagged down the cars by waving a sign and by hollering at people as they drove around looking for a place to mark.
After stopping a prospective customer, he directed him down an alley where Osborn took his money and showed him where to park.
Haenisch tried to accommodate all customers, even assuring one that he could leave at halftime.
"Ozzie!" he yelled down the alley. "This guy wants out at half."
Student lived life with pride
"Sure, we can do that," Haenisch said, turning to a man driving a four-door car and waving him down the alley.

For those who knew Jeanna Marie Carkoski, only one word fully described her, "superior."
Miss Carkoski, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, died at 4 a.m. Saturday at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
She suffered severe head injuries after falling from a third-story ledge about 5 p.m. Friday, as she was cleaning a window at the Alpha Phi sorority, 1602 High Drive.
Miss Carkoski was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and was transferred to the Med Center by helicopter at about 6:30 p.m.
A memorial service, sponsored by the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps and Alpha Phi, will be conducted at 8 p.m. today in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union
A rosary will be given at 7:30 p.m.
today, and the funeral will be at
10 a.m. tomorrow at the Church of St.
Pius X. Omaha.
Miss Carkoski was born June 11, 1966. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene T. Carkoski, Omaha; two sisters, Becky and Michelle, of the home; a brother, Thomas, of the home; a maternal grandmother, Ann Peterson, Minden, Neb.; and a paternal grandmother, Marie Carkoski, Grand Island, Neb.
Col. Michael Wuyl, commander of KU Naval ROTC, said that Miss Carkoski, a midshipmen third class and accepted in advanced standings because of her superior academic standing, was a very special person.
"Superior might be a good word to assign to her," he said. "She was one of our best people."
Miss Carkoski had been active in the Naval ROTC program for two years, Wyly said. Last summer, she had cruised on the U.S.S. Ajax, on which she had sailed to Guam and Hawaii and received a good performance report.
Col. Wwyl said Miss Carkoski would receive full military honors at
the grave site, including the traditional gun salute and presentation of the U.S. flag to her mother and father.
Miss Carkoski, a French and political science major, also was active at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Drive, and at her sorority as the junior Panhellenic Association delegate.
Susan Pinches, Lawrence junior,
said, "She could always cheer
anybody up in a matter of minutes.
She seemed like a little girl. She was
tiny and had a little girl voice. She
was really cute and innocent, but she
knew more of what she wanted to do
with her life than other people did."
Geri Fenley, Troy senior, said,
"When she dressed up in her
uniform, you could just see in her
face how proud she was and you
never heard a complaint out of that
woman's mouth."

Two of the best lead KU cheers
By Liz Maggard
Two KU cheerleaders have been selected by the National Cheerleaders Association to its 1985-86 first team All-American collegiate cheerleading squad, Elaine Brady, spirit squad adviser, said last week.
Brady said Friday that the two cheerleaders, Alice Priest, Wichita junior, and Alan Grover, Tahquah, Okla., junior, were among 20 cheerleaders from across the country who had been selected to the first team.
Priest and Grover will be honored at the KU-Kentucky basketball game on Dec. 14, she said. Plaques and certificates will be presented to them during halftime ceremonies.
The two KU cheerleaders were selected from more than 2,000 cheerleaders, representing more than 306 universities and colleges, who participated in the organization's 1985 All-College Cheerleader clinics, Brady said.
Grover said he was shocked at being selected.
"I're not so shucked that I can't be so incredible," he said. "I didn't expect it at all.
"I can't believe that Alan Grover from Tahlequah, U.S.A., actually did it."
Priest said she thought it was an honor to be selected.
"It's great," she said. "I'm really excited."
The only other Big Eight Conference university represented on the first team squad is Oklahoma State University. Three cheerleaders from OSU were selected.
In a letter informing Brady of the selection, Van Power, the association's executive director of marketing, said the association's All-American selection board "where these students, their technical and physical
cheerleading skills, dedication, enthusiasm, and leader ship were decidedly superior."
Brady said she thought one reason Priest and Grover were selected was that they were both national gymmasts with outstanding ability.
Priest said she had competed in national gymnastics for 13 years and had competed at the "elite" level for two years while participating in a live-in program for 25 gymnasts in Shreveport, La.
Grover said his gvmnastic ability was inherited
"I've never competed in gymnastics, although I've wanted to," he said. "My father was a gymnasist [for KK]."
"All my ability comes from my father and my mother, who also was a gymnast."
Priest said being a member of the KU cheerleading squad was fun, but also was a lot of hard work.
"In high school, I was a football player, wrestler, and i ran track," he said. "Cheerleading is harder than any other sport I've been involved in. Partner stunts especially take a lot of strength and coordination."
Priest said the cheerleading squad currently was preparing for the NCA national championships. Each competing squad will submit a 3½-minute videotape of a cheerleading routine representative of all its cheers, chants and stunts, she said.
The cheerleaders have been polishing their routine by practicing three or four hours a day, Priest said. The routine will be videotaped Wednesday night.
Davis said NCA officials would screen the videotapes and pick 20 squads to compete at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., in January. The top 10 finalists from that competition will compete on national television.
