Fans pack bars to cheer Royals and skip work
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
Not even the fear of exams could wither the loyalty of Kansas City Royals fans last night around the Lawrence area.
Many students abandoned their books to watch the Royals pull to within one game of the St. Louis Carrier team in a Series with a 6-victory in St. Louis.
More than 40 hopeful Royals fans and even a few brave St. Louis fans jammed the Kansas Sports Bar & Grill in southeasternachusetts streets, to watch the game.
Dave Kirkendall. Overland Park sophomore, said school took a back seat to the World Series.
"I've blown off school all week for this series," Kirkendall said.
Pat Morgan, Kansas State University junior from Overland Park, said he sacrificed school for the game.
"I've been here for three days and I'm from K-State," he said.
Bob LaRue, Kansas City, Mo,
sophomore, said, "I've blown off a
managerial test. The Series comes
first."
LaRue said his loyalty to the Royals wouldn't allow him to write off the Kansas City team because he knew they could come back.
"The Royals are a come-back team," Latte said. "We were down 3-1 against Toronto and we were down 3-1 against St. Louis."
Chris Snyder, Leawood sophomore, agreed.
"It's a Cinderella story," he said. Loyalty, however, didn't stop some people from betting against the Royals.
John Hobbs, Prairie Village senior, said money prompted him to go against the hometown boys.
"My heart is with the Royals but my wallet is with the Cards," he said. Pat Easum and Ken Campbell, Lawrence freshmen watched the
game at Louise's Bar, 1009 Massachusetts St.
Easum said he was for the Royals all the way and credited their comeback with the performance of Buddy Biancalana, Royals shortstop
"If it weren't for Buddy we'd be
sad, said as Biancaclana
rolled into third.
Campell agreed, shouting, "Biancalaana MVP."
Royal roars could also be heard at the Wagon Wheel Cafe, 50 W. 40th St.
Lisa Freker, Leawood junior, said that although she had once lived in St. Louis, she was a Rovals fan.
Allan Burchell, Coffeeville senior, said he was keeping the champagne chilled until the Royals won the Series. He was positive the Royals win last night's game, but on the outside chance of the loss, he was ready.
"If they lose, we're gonna have a 'drown your sorrows' party." he said.
St. Louis fans didn't seem to fear standing up for their team.
Jane Heeney, Lenexa sophomore and St. Louis fan, said she knew St. Louis.
"The Royals don't deserve to win." she said as the Royals pulled ahead of the Cardinals by two runs. "St. Louis is a much better team."
Pam Reichart, Overland Park sophomore, said she was rooting for the Royals all the way, not only because she liked the team but for another reason.
"I'm pulling for the Royals because I know that they will win," she said. "And I think Buddy Bianca-lana is a doll."
As the evening wore on and Royals maintained the lead, Cardinal fans became harder to find. Fred Kalush, Overland Park junior, said he had seen a few Cardinal fans earlier but when he turned around to point out where they were, they were gone.
Heat in classrooms raises students'ire
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
The heat is on - smothering, irritating and upsetting many on campus.
At the beginning of October, he said, facilities operations received complaints about the cold, so on went the heat. Now, he said, workers are receiving complaints that the heat is intense.
Shifting from the heating system to the air-conditioning system in a short time is not possible with some systems. Samuels said. Therefore, nothing can be done in some buildings to relieve the heat.
Although temperatures have soared into the 70s this week, heat has pumped out of vents in many campus buildings, including Wescoe House. These workers or attending classes in the buildings have suffered
The air conditioning was turned off at the beginning of October. Normally, the heat is turned on at the beginning of November. Randy Samuels, assistant director of electricity and air conditioning, said yesterday.
get outside air through the free cooling system.
Fans have come out of storage Doors are flung open to let the outside breeze in and students are walking around in summer clothes.
Complaints are coming in from all over campus, he said.
Janita van der Walt, teaching assistant in German, said many of those who worked or attended classes were very hard at headaches and fell ill by the end of the year.
"All they can do is dress appropriately and pray for cool weather."
"The majority of complaints are coming from Wescoe," he said. "All we can do is make sure the buildings
Julie Deisler, teaching assistant in English, said, "Everyone in Wescoe is complaining. The heat makes everyone irritable."
Mari Tomn, teaching assistant in communications studies, said she had been dressing to feel comfortable.
"I don't like heat very much," she said, "but I'm surviving."
Students who rely on Watson Library as a quiet place to study haven't been pleased with the heat situation.
"The heat puts me to sleep," said John Cissell, Mission sophomore. "I thought it would be cool today with the breeze, but when you get inside, it's unbearable."
"I didn't wear socks today and wore my summer clothes," she said.
KU to help pick star writer
WASHINGTON — NASA announced yesterday that an American journalist would be selected to fly in orbit aboard a space shuttle next September so the world could learn more about space flight and its rigorous training.
United Press International
The University of Kansas will play a role in the selection of the journalist, which will be coordinated by the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communications.
KU will coordinate judging in the South Central region, which consists of Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico.
Marilyn Yarbrough, professor of law and a associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, is a member of the national selection panel.
Eight candidates will be selected by each of five regional panels of judges. The 40 preliminary winners will be narrowed to five finalists by a national panel. The students distinguished educators, journalists and one former judge.
johnsmith and okc NAACP associate, Ferry Hairy James Beggs, a NASA administrator, said the final journalist-spaceman and his surrogate would be selected by National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials April 15 or 16 and announced April 17.
"In that regard, the term journalist is being defined, or interpreted, in very broad terms," he said.
"I can assure you the winning candidate will not only get a round-trip ticket, but a first-class, unforgettable ride." Beggs said.
The two winners, who must pass a NASA medical examination, will undergo flight training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston between October and December. The flight was tentatively planned for September.
Albert Scroggins, dean emeritus of the University of South Carolina college of journalism and chief program officer of the project, the selection process would be as open and fair as possible.
The candidates must be American citizens and have five years or more of professional experience reporting, correspondence reporting, column writing, photography, editorial cartooning or broadcasting.
Beggs said the only restrictions on the journalist would be protecting the privacy of crew members if requested and agreeing not to reveal any classified information he might be exposed to.
The NASA administrator said the winner would continue to be employed by his news organization but would be considered to be on assignment up to a month after the flight.

41 cents on the dollar planned
Growers could get some money back
United Press International
TOPEKA If a state judge fontoua a trustee's recommendation, Kansas bacteria culture growers will receive only 41 cents on the dollar of their investments in a defunct culture-growing operation.
But even that proposed allotment could be meaningless in the face of such circumstances.
Judge James Buchele of Shawne County District Court said yesterday he would comply with the order of U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Pusateri who blocked distribution of $928,000 to Kansas growers who lost their money when Culture Farms Inc., Lawrence, went bankrupt
Pusateri ordered Wednesday that the money — being held in an escrow fund to protect Kansas growers — not be distributed until it is determined whether it should revert to the Culture Farms estate instead.
In a hearing yesterday, Buchele said if he eventually was allowed to distribute the money it would amount to only 41 cents on the dollar under a formula conceived by Teopaka incumbent Donald Paxson, trustee of the fund.
Buchele plans to decide within two to three weeks how the $928,000 should be divided up in the face of claims totaling more than $3.8 million from 1,559 growers. Paxson has recommended that only 900 Kant growers, with initial claims of $2.1 million, receive a share of the fund.
The fund was established under court order by Culture Farms and Activator Supply Co. of Pahrump, Nev., to protect the interests of first-time growers who purchased acclimation bacteria. Activator Supply sold the kits to people who would grow the cultures for resale to Culture Farms
for use in Cleopatra's Secret cosmetics.
The companies are the subject of civil and criminal investigations by several states and the federal government that allege the firms were conducting an illegal pyramid sales scheme that made money from the sale of activator kits, rather than from the sale of cosmetics. It was known that the firms grown cultures were used in making cosmetics, while the remainder was recycled into activator kits for resale to growers.
In addition to hearing discussion from Paxson and various attorneys on how to distribute the fund, Buche heard testimony from several culture growers who were excluded from receiving anything from the fund because they had solicited the sale of kits to other growers.
Growers who invested as much as $3,950 for 100 kits told how in the final
days of the firms' operations they were told their initial investment would be protected by the escrow fund. Buchele said that was a misrepresentation of the fund's purpose.
"There was never any idea that it was going to become a sales tool," he said.
Attorney Robert Baer, representing the Culture Farms bankruptcy trustee, Ronald Innes, said distribution of the fund was blocked pending further action in bankruptcy court. For the money that went into the fund棠堂中 28,000 growers across the country, and not just from 1,000 Kansans.
The firms, in effect, were shut down by Buchele, who supported a finding by John Wurth. Kansas cities commissioner, that the firms are selling unregistered securities and operating a pyramid scheme.
Full-time Kansas students fewer
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Total enrollment at Kansas' colleges and universities increased slightly to 141,353 students this fall, but the number of full-time students actually dropped, according to figures presented yesterday to the Legislative Educational Planning Committee.
The number of students at the six state universities, Kansas Technical Institute, 19 community colleges and 29 private colleges increased 0.6 percent from the total enrollment of 149,490 last fall, according to a report by the Legislative Research Department.
The report, which was the first comprehensive review of all enrollment figures across the state this fall, also said the schools' full time enrollments dropped from 100.248 in 1984 to 99.643 this fall — a decrease of 0.6 percent.
The University of Kansas remained the state's largest higher education institution with a Lawrence campus and it which was up 1.4 percent from last year.
FTE basically represents what the beadcount would have been if all students had taken a full-time load of classes.
Enrollment at state universities increased 0.4 percent from 78,310 in
1984 to 78,638 this fall. Community colleges accounted for 41,900 students, an increase of 1.4 percent, and private colleges attracted 1.5 percent more students than last year for a total enrollment of 13,985.
Washburn University of Topeka, a municipal university, enrolled 6,830 students this fall for a decrease of 3.6 percent.
Pratt Community College suffered the largest percentage decrease in enrollment of any higher education institution in the state, dropping 24.6 percent to a headcount of 1,214, compared with 1,611 last year.

The annual "fall back," on the last Sunday in October, is an even exchange for the "spring forward" beginning of daylight savings time on the last Sunday in April.
