Protester sentenced
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
The last anti-aparthied protester to go to trial pleaded no contest yesterday to criminal trespass charges in Douglas County District Court and was given 10 hours of community service to pay part of the fines, which totaled $100.
Mark T. Parker, 25, Lawrence, who was originally scheduled to go on trial Nov. 22, was arrested during protests May 9 at Youngbergh Hall, home of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
About 60 students and Lawrence residents were arrested May 3 and 9 while protesting the Endowment Association's investments in companies doing business in racially-segregated South Africa.
Jack Klinknett, Lawrence attorney who represented Parker and most of the arrested prosecution, is another often than payment of the fines.
Associate District Judge Jean Shepherd said the $50 bond Parker posted May 9 would pay half the total fine. She also gave Parker 10 hours of community service.
Parker said, "I accept it. It was consistent with pleading no contest."
After the trial, Parker said he had been thinking about pleading no contest for a few weeks and made the decision on Sunday when he discovered that his trial was moved from Oct. 22 to 1:30 p.m. yesterday.
Parker is involved with other political issues, including the American Indian rights movement, he said, and didn't want to spend time on a trial.
"It is more important that I put my energy into those issues than confront the legal system," he said. "The courtroom is not the place to make points. I made my point on May 9."
Parker pleaded not guilty May 21 to criminal trespass charges. He was one of two protesters to be tried in district court for refusing to identify himself.
If he had not pleaded no contest, Parker would have been tried in district court because he refused to provide identification at the time of his arrest.
Police report woman tried to molest man
By a Kansan reporter
A KU student reported that a woman attempted to molest him in his bedroom early yesterday morning, Lawrence police said yesterday. Police said that the man did not know the woman, and that she had apparently entered through the unlocked front door of the apartment in the 100 block of Hamover Street.
Police said the student was sleeping when the woman came into his bedroom and sat on the student's bed. The student told police he asked the woman who she was.
"It is me," police said the woman responded. She then grabbed the student's groin.
The student said he grabbed the woman's upper arm in an attempt to push her away, but said she was too strong.
The woman got up and left, and the student yellied at his roommate, who saw the woman as she ran out the front door.
The police said men described the woman as 6-foot-1, with shoulder-length black hair and Indian features. The student told police she spoke in a high-pitched, soft voice, and was very strong.
Victim is apparent suicide
A woman found dead yesterday in Holom Park apparently was a victim of suicide, the Douglas County deputy coroner said last night.
Police received a call at 4:37 p.m. about a problem in the park, and upon arrival discovered the body of a young, white woman in the southeast corner of the park, near the Park 25 apartment complex, 2401 W. 25th St.
Carol Moddrell, deputy coroner,
said the woman, in her early 20s, died
of a small caliber gunshot to the head.

Moddrell said until the victim's parents were notified, she could not release the woman's name.
