Charges of rape, aggravated kiffnapping and aggravated burglary were filed yesterday against Mark R. Maas, a Lawrence man who shot himself in the mouth Monday while being arrested on charges filed that morning, Douglas County District Attorney Jim Flory said yesterday.
By Karen Blakeman Of the Kansan staff
Maas, 19, was in fair condition last night at the University of Kansas Medical Center, a hospital spokesman said.
The girl filed a complaint in the Douglas County Sheriff's department against Maas Monday morning which alleged he had entered her rural Baldwin home and forced her at gunpoint to get into his car. Fliery said.
Flory said the new charges against Maas
the Douglas County Sheriff's office shortly after
were filed in connection with an incident that took place between 11 p.m. Sunday and 6:30 a.m. Monday and involved a 15-year-old girl
Other members of the girl's family were sleeping in the home during the alleged abduction, Flory said.
The girl said the man drove to an area in rural Baldwin and forced her to have sex, Flory said.
Maas shot himself Monday afternoon while a Lawrence police officer was trying to arrest him on charges filed Monday morning of aggravated assault and making a terroristic threat.
Those charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on Oct. 8 and involved the same idle
Sgt. Don Dalquest, Lawrence police depart
ment, said the Oct. 8 incident occurred in front of Lawrence High School.
When she refused. Maas drew a gun and told her that if she didn't get into the car, he would kill her and then himself.
The girl's father had reported to police that Maas had met the girl after school and asked her to get into his car with him, Dalquest said.
Dalquest said the girl got into the car, and she and Maas "tailed about breaking up."
After the two talked for a while, the girl got out of the car and Maas made no attempt to harm her.
Suit calls physician negligent
By Karen Blakeman Of the Kansan staff
A medical malpractice suit was filled Thursday in Douglas County District Court against two Lawrence physicians and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
The doctors named in the suit, which asks the court for more than $10,000 in damages, were Mark Praeger and David Hiebert.
In the suit, Eldon K. Ellis, Iola alleged that Praeger, on Nov. 26, 1984, left a surgical sponge in Ellis's abdomen during a procedure performed in connection with an obstructed bowel.
David Hiebert, a radiologist, and Lawrence Memorial Hospital were listed in the suit because medical procedures, including an X-ray taken in the operating room, failed to reveal the sponge.
The suit alleges that the doctors and the hospital "were grossly negligent evidencing a total and reckless disregard for the health and welfare of" Ellis.
Ellis has undergone two additional surgeries as a result of the sponge being left inside him, according to the suit.
Praeger declined to comment on the case, but his attorney, John Lungsturm, Lawrence, said Brownstein had been very supportive of his client.
"He was brought up here for this surgery," Lungstrum said. "Dr. Paul."
Steven Doering, one of the two attorneys representing Ellis, would not comment on the case.
Hiebert said a surgical sponge left in a patient might show up on an X-ray.
Ellis's other attorney, Barry W. McCormick, Overland Park, was unavailable for comment.
"It depends on if it was included in the field," he said.
Tom Wright, Topeka attorney for Lawrence Memorial, said he had not yet been served a copy of the petition, but said it was not unusual for a hospital to be included in a malpractice suit involving surgery done in the hospital.

Only two coalitions vie for top Senate spots
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansan staff
Controversial issues last year drew seven coaliations to run for Student Senate president and vice president, but this year's Senate race has only two coaliations vying for the toffices.
This year Chrysalis Coalition and Common Sense Coalition will be on the ballot in the Nov. 20-21 Senate elections.
He said his "dream had fallen short" and the campus was not ready for the type of campaign the Liberty Coalition planned to run.
A third coalition, the Liberty Coalition, announced its candidacy last week, but did not file before Monday's deadline.
Wesley, who planned to run with Mark Gillem, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said he did not know whether his coalition had collected the 500 student signatures required for a non-senator to run in a presidential campaign.
"There were complications," Lennie Wesley Wichita junior and candidate for the Liberty Coalition, said yesterday.
He said he had delegated the responsibility for getting signatures to other people, and lack of signatures "would be a minute reason for not filing."
Liberty Coalition will not run any candidates for student senators either, Wesley said.
Ruth Litchwardt, vice presidential candidate for Chrysalis Coalition, said few people were running
for Senate offices because people were apathetic.
for Senate offices because people were apathetic. She said this year's Senate had not handled many issues that affected students, and the Senate leadership was not obviously controversial.
"People aren't paying that much attention to Student Senate," she said.
David Epstein, presidential candidate for Common Sense Coalition, said, "Everyone knew these two coalition were very organized. It may be that people feel comfortable with one or the other."
He said daily headlines about senators resigning their seats may also have scared some people and raised concerns.
"It's not an apathy, it’s more of a house in such disorder that people are saying, 'I don’t want to mess with it right now,'" Epstein said.
AA helps with battle over bottle
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
While the sponsors of Kansas College Alcohol Awareness week are conducting a well-publicized campaign to encourage alternatives to drinking, a group quietly meets across campus to help each other fight for a common goal.
Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935 in Akron, Ohio, by two alcoholics. The two men, a surgeon and a New York stock broker, who are then to provide support and encourage them to alcoholics across the country.
Members of the campus group, one of six AA groups in Lawrence, meet every weekday in the Kansas Union. Attendance at the meeting ranges from four to 60 members, depending on the day.
People who attend meetings are known only by their first names to assure anonymity.
"A lot of people are self-conscious about being alcoholics," Mike, Lawrence senior and member of the campus group, said yesterday. "People have the image of alcoholics as skinny or derelicts. That's not necessarily necessarily can be young and in college. Alcoholism often starts socially."
Mike, who has been sober for 3½ years, and Jeff, another member of the campus chapter of AA, posted flyers listing their telephone numbers around campus in September. The flyers were directed at people who were depressed or who had drinking problems.
"If I can help people who have a problem, it will help me keep sober," Mike said. "If people call and have a desire to stop drinking, I talk to them about my experiences and about AA.
also talk to them about drinking pattern — when an am why they are drinking
Mike said he couldn't stop drinking without help.
"I needed a group of people to help me stop drinking," he said. "I was lonely and depressed, and I felt different from other people. AA helped me find people who felt the same."
Frank, 55, who has been involved in AA for 15 years and is treasurer of an AA chapter in Lawrence, attributed success to its access to its record of helping people.
"Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease that often terminates in wrecks and pneumonia." Frank said. "Churches are a good place to introduce alcoholics to but, for some reason, haven't been that successful."
Frank said the meetings consisted of having discussions, listening to speakers or studying books about alcoholism.
Mike said, "I don't think very many people know about the program. Students are helping each other to stay sober."
Frank said people could attend AA meetings to determine whether they had drinking problems.
