City's police seize gambling table, beer
A raid of a business in the 600 block of Vermont Street led to three arrests and the confiscation of beer and a gambling table Saturday night, Lawrence police said yesterday.
The Lawrence Police and Douglas County Sheriff's departments were issued a search warrant Saturday afternoon to investigate alleged illegal gambling and liquor violations at Pen & Inc Art Supplies, 623 Vermont St., District Attorney Jim Flory said. Police had been investigating the alleged gambling operation, which had moved recently from near Ninth and New Jersey streets to the basement of the business on Vermont Street, he said.
Police found 28 people at the business, and three were arrested on misdemeanor charges. No other details were released pending Flory's review of police reports today.

KU-K-State crowd well-behaved
No riots like last year, just battle of the cups
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
KU officials said yesterday that the crowd at Saturday's football game was enthusiastic but well-behaved and that they liked it that way.
About 40,000 fans in Memorial Stadium watched Kansas defeat Kansas State University 38-7. About another 4,000 watched the game from the hill above the stadium.
Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director, said he was pleased with the way most fans conducted themselves.
"I thought things went quite well," he said. "The only problem was a little outburst of cup throwing."
James Denney, director of KU police, said he thought the cupthrowing episode, which took place during the third quarter of the game, was caused by boredom.
"At the time, it was evident that KU was going to win, but neither team was doing much down on them," said. "The crowd just got bored."
About 2,000 fans sitting in two sections appeared to be involved, Denney said, and the commotion lasted five minutes.
"I've seen cup fights take over the entire crowd in a stadium," Denney said.
He said the cup throwing was relatively minor compared to other such incidents he had observed.
He said other problems also were minor. An acrobatics contest among the fans on the hill resulted
in considerable damage to the grass. About two dozen bottles of liquor were confiscated from fans in the stadium.
Denny said traffic also was a problem, although the crowd was estimated to be the smallest at a KU-State game in 20 years.
He said the traffic problem was caused by "recirculation."
"Instead of走 straight home, the fans drove around and around the campus," Denney said. "We directed traffic until 5:45 or 6 p.m."
"But overall, I thought it went pretty well for a K-State game."
Temple said he wanted to insure continued good behavior at future games by reminding fans that certain activities, such as running onto the field and tearing down goalposts after a game, were prohibited by University policy.
"It's not just a college prank," she said. "It's destruction of property. Fans should be aware that when they tear down the goalposts, they expose themselves to all the consequences."
Vickie Thomas, University general counsel, said the policy made it clear that tearing down wasn't an approved activity.
Temple said those consequences included possible criminal prosecution.
The goalposts are stainless steel and tearing them down could be dangerous, Temple said. Lawsuits

made last season before each basketball game.
Temple said problems with fans throwing ice on the court during basketball games led the Athletic Department to adopt a tough response.
Temple said the policy wasn't meant to keep fans from showing support for KU athletics.
Plain people are heroes for KU grad
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
Ordinary people are the true heroes in America to Bob Dotson, a correspondent for NBC News. He has produced his television features about common people on "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw" since July.
"We show too much of politicians going on and off airplanes and too little people stories on TV," he told 70 students and faculty Friday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Dotson, a 1984 KU journalism and political science graduate, was on campus for Telecommunications Day, sponsored annually by KU's radio-TV program, to receive the 1965 Alumni Honor Citation. He gave advice and showed video samples of his work.
Mammary Clarie Hale, 79, is one of Dodson's heroes. In a five-minute
gment on NBC News "Today" program in 1984, he told the story of the Hale House in Harlem for babies of mothers addicted to drugs. Mammy Hale has cared for about 400 children over 15 years. Her requirement for care of the children is that the mothers enter a rehabilitation program.
"Mammy Hale doesn't use magic," Detson said, "just love."
Dotson talked about his reporting style, using the allegory of a car with a flat tire. It is breaking news the mo-
tion, he said. Everybody reports that.
"But I also look at the three still rolling and look for a lesson in it," he said. "I don't come out with only good news, like Jerry Falkwell. He doesn't look at the flat tire. I do the good-news story despite the flat tire.
"I still talk about the bad news, but I find people that preval. People who give up are reported on anyway. I do
stories on ordinary people still at bat."
Journalists write history every day that they work, so they should write history.
Dotson said he decided he wanted to do "people stories" when he was being shot at while covering the Nicaraguan civil war in 1979.
But before journalists will be permitted to be creative and do what they like, they have to fill the job requirements, he said. Then they can start carving a niche for themselves with their own style.
Dotson received an Emmy for the best local television program in 1974 for the documentary "Through the Glass Darkly," which he produced, directed and edited. The program was one of the first attempts to document black history on television.
Now Dotson makes 35 to 40 features a year in his series" . . . in Pursuit of the Lost
has been based in Atlanta since 1979.
"Everybody says working for the networks is terrible for your family life," he said. "But it doesn't have to be.
'You have to deal with it just as a news source. You have to make time to go over your daughter's plan.' 'Don't going to hug you when you are 65.'
Dotson received the Alumni Honor Citation from the KU radio-TV program Friday night at the Adams Alumni Center.
Bruce Linton, professor of radio and television, presented the plaque in
"Bob has been traveling the country to find the extraordinary in our lives," he said. "He works the grocery stores and the cities, the small towns, the dirt roads."
Dotson said he didn't mind holding up good human values for consideration in his stories.
Ex-dean dies at 75 of cancer
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education for 16 years, died of lung cancer Saturday at Regency Health Care Center, 1800 W. 27th St. He was 75.
Mr. Anderson was dean of the school from 1953 to 1969. He continued teaching and researching and started KU's higher education program. He retired in 1980 after serving for 32 years at the University of Kansas.
"He was a good leader," said William Albrecht, professor emeritus of English and dean emeritus of graduate studies. "I think he is a jolly sort of man, but very serious about his job. He was very knowledgeable in his field, and a good man for the job."
Homer Henderson, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., said, "Ken Anderson, even after his retirement from the University of Kansas, continued his interest in education. He continues to be innovative teaching techniques to be his greatest commitment."
Mr. Anderson was a member of the church and served on its board of Christian education.
Lelon Capps, associate dean for undergraduate studies, said, "He had that wonderful ability to give people the freedom to develop expertise in their areas of research.
"He was kind of a quiet, unassuming guy with a lot of talents and interests and the work ethic of so many Midwesterners."
Mr. Anderson earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in education from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
In 1965, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the University of Minnesota and, in 1971, he was honored as Kansas Master Teacher.
Mr. Anderson's interests extended beyond campus. He was a member of the Noon Kiwanis and served on its executive board last year. He also was a member of the Forum Club and served on the board of Lawrence Friends of the Library and the executive board of Kantronics Co. Inc.
Minnesota. He was born March 2, 1910, in
Nemopeils. He married Benjamin Smith
and they had three children.
Survivors include his wife, of the home; two sons, Peter A, and Philip N., both of Lawrence; and four grandchildren.
Dorothy Anderson said the family suggested memorials be given to the Dean Kenneth E. Anderson Scholarship Fund in Education, which will be presented in his honor, in care of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Plymouth Congregational Church,
Lone entry bags prizes in sculpture contest
Bv Jill White
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
Six hollow egg shells, pasted together asymmetrically, created "Bagged Perfection," which won more than first place in SUA's Milk and Egg Carton Sculptures contest, the event organizer for Student Union Activities said yesterday.
As the sole entry, "Bagged Perfection" took all the prizes.
Geoff Newlan, alias Steele Hawthorn, also won four ticket stubs from the Sept. 23 concert of Bruce Springsteen in Mile High Stadium, Denver. Lindley said.
Rick Lindley, the organizer, said the sculpture, entered by a Topeka sophomore under a pseudonym, won its creator two tickets for Friday's All-Star Wrestling match in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"I saw an ad in the paper and figured why not — what the heck?" Newlan said. "I'm such a bad artist and I wanted to show my friend who is an artist that I could be creative."
Lindley said the prizes for the Milk and Egg Carton Sculptures contest reflected the nature of
"We wanted to do something that would link David Letterman with art," Lindley said. "David Letterman is about the wackiest person I know."
Although Newlan was the only participant.
the contest was judged on Friday as scheduled. The sculpture will be displayed in the Kansas Union, near the SUA box office on the fourth floor, for one week. Lindlev said.
Newlan said, "I wish more people would have entered to validate my win. I don't think it was advertised very well."
Mark Cerney, SUA accountant, blamed poor participation on rainy weather and increasingly busy student schedules during this time of the semester.
"These things are kind of hit and miss," Corney said. "Maybe it's just not something you like."
Nearly 700 students participated in the last SUA event, "Express Yourself at the Union
Gallery." Their doodles with magic markers transformed white sheetrock into pieces of graffiti art.
Two days later, the original four boards were full and had to be replaced with four blank boards. After two weeks, Lindley said the boards were divided and 20 panels were sold! for $2 each.
"I don't know why the participation was so low this time," said Lindley, who is also the fine arts chairman for SUA.
Margaret Palmer, SUA president, said the poor participation did not reflect a general declining interest in SUA events.
"Some things just kind of work out and people think it's a good iden", she said.
