From staff and wire reports
Boos and beer mark defeat
Theresa Scott Of the Kansan staff
At least 40 pairs of eyes stared intently at the big screen television, as patrons barats sat waiting and watching — with mugs of beer in hand — to see whether the Kansas City Royals would win their first game in the American League Championship Series last night.
They didn't. And the 6-1 loss kept the crowd of KU students and Lawrence residents at the Kansas Sports Bar & Grill, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, unusually subdued last night.
playing.
playing.
"It doesn't look good," Marc Marano, Merced, Cal., senior, said when the Royals trailed the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-0 in the third innning. "I wish we were winning, but I'm not going to get totally upset and throw things at the TV."
Dan Gebert, Wichita senior agreed that the Royals weren't playing well.
"They're killing 'em asleep here. But I predict things will pick back up in the eighth mning." Gebert said "George Brett would be at bat but
would be at it again.
But the Royals fell behind 6-0 in the fourth.
"We're hoping for a rainout," he said when things began looking particularly bleak for the Royals.
Kip Elliott, Hutchinson senior, who organized the rendezvous at the bar, said the way the Royals were playing with him was depression among the bar's patrons.
"It's disgusting." Elliott said. "I think they're a little nervous. I'm hoping for just one win in Toronto, then I'll be happy. They can come back to Kansas City and do their winning there."
Nancy Yee, Chicago senior, and Missy Hodge, Salina senior, said they were having a good time watching the game. They said they were the first people at the bar when they arrived, to be assured of getting a table.
Marano said that he had come to the bar earlier in the year to watch the Kansas City Chiefs football team
play the Los Angeles Raiders.
He said he didn't think the bar was as crowded last night as it had been during the Chiefs game because the football game had been shown only on closed-circuit television and had not been on a Tuesday night.
Charles Barnett, owner and manager of the bar and grill, said sports events took precedence over all other television shows that were shown on the big screen TV. He said the only exception to this was on Friday nights when a KU sports event was not being broadcast. Then, "Miami Vice" took precedence over all other sports events.
Elliott said the bar, which is part of the Eldridge House, was a great place to watch sports.

Patient protest
Repairs forestall evictions
"There has been progression to a point," said Gene Shaughnessy, the inspector. "They are taking care of relations we were concerned about."

Michael Maha, Roeland Park junior, waits for interested students during his shift at an anti/apartheid demonstration. Several members of the KU Committee on South Africa built this shantytown to demonstrate the lifestyle of many South African blacks. The tent and cardboard structure are scheduled to stay in
The possibility that Pinecrest Apartment residents — including some KU students — will be evicted today is unlikely because corrections of building code violations at the apartment complex began yesterday, the city's chief building inspector said.
The improvements were not complete, Shaughnessy said. But he said that if the work continued to progress in the project, hisitors probably would not be evicted.
If the electric meters were pulled by the city, the tenants would be evicted.
"It's a day-to-day situation," he said.
An agreement between the city and Pinecrest Investors Limited partnership, Kansas City, Mo., said the apartment owners had to correct "life threatening" building code violations with their electric meters pulled.
The violations included faulty gas lines, furnaces and hot water heaters, deficient or nonexistent fire suppression systems and stairways without hand railings.
Glen Cork, Goddard senior and Pinecrest resident, said improvements had been made at the complex, 2565 Redbud Lane.
He said an electric outlet was installed in his bathroom, and the wiring to his stove house was repaired yesterday. He said he expected hand railings on stairways to be installed today.
"They're taking good care of us now," Cork said. "I haven't heard anybody complain so far."
Cork said he and other tenants received a letter yesterday from Anchor Properties, the new managing agent of the apartments.
The letter said Anchor would correct the violations cited by the city's building inspection office, then inspect the buildings to determine other needed improvements.
Stephen H. Sherwood, president of Anchor, said much progress had been made at the complex yesterday.
Hall puts razors on reserve
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
The men of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall are beginning to brag about the beards they're bearing.
The contest, to determine which resident can grow the best beard, was held on May 25.
About a dozen men at Battenfield have forsaken their razor blades to participate in the very first Scott Berry Grease Beardadon.
Scott Berry, Kansas City, Kan,
sophomore and Battenfield resident,
said yesterday that he told another
resident. Dave Dibble, Lakeland,
was the one that he planned to
begain growing a second Oct. 1. Dibble
decided to join him.
"Word got around and before we knew what happened a lot of the guys in the hall were growing beards," Berry said.
In the contest's first week, 20 of Battenfeld's 46 residents attended classes with their faces bristling whatever growth they could muster. However, after their parents visited for last weekend's Parents Day,
several residents dropped out of the competition.
The contest rules, which Richards wrote, limit the contest to males only. Use of steroids to enhance beard growth is banned, and the residents who do not clean their shaven. But some contestants ower other ways to gain an edge.
"My mom came up here for Parents' Day, and she just kind of laughed at me, so that is one of the reasons I shaved," said Darren Richards, Manhattan sophomore.
"The truly hard-core beard growers shaved at 12:05 a.m. on October 1, so they could get that extra 12 hours of beard growth." Berry said. "I think that is going to be the competitive advantage for those guys."
Other contestants shaved repeatedly on the day before the contest hoping that would help them raise a heavier beard.
John Corvin, Battenfeld proctor and Fairway junior, will judge the contest with Mike Wilkerson, former
"Most of us are just letting it all grow," Berry said, "then we'll see what happens."
The contest winner will have to be satisfied only with the glory of his victory. Berry said that to preserve the contestants' amateur status, no prizes would be awarded.
Many of the contestants were growing beards for the first time and entered the contest just to see what they could do.
"So far my beard is coming out pretty well, so I think I stick with it for the 15 days," said Collin Freeman, Overland Park junior.
resident and Parsons graduate student. Residents say that both are qualified to judge the contest and that Wilkerson can raise a rather formidable beard himself.
Reactions of the residents' friends and families have been mixed.
John Pavelicik, Overland Park junior, said his mother told him to keep his beard. Pavelicik said that although he was definitely a contender, he shaved Sunday.
"My girlfriend threatened not to shave her legs until I shaved, but I think she was kidding," he said.
The dealers were Jack Ellenna Buick, 2112. W 29th Street Terrace; Jack Ellenna Honda, 2957 Four Wheel Dr.; Steve Noller Lincoln-Mercury Jeep, 2300 Used Cars, 814 Iowa St.; and RB&S Sales, 1001. N Third St.
Eight stereos were stolen and 10 cars, were damaged.
Also, a stereo was stolen this weekend from a tractor parked at Deems Farm Equipment, 1110 E. 23rd St. The stereo and damage to the tractor were valued together at about $500.
The dealers said the thefts occurred between Saturday and Monday.
Detective Lt. Wayne Schmille said
"I've hired a security guard. He'll be posted every night. And I have people hiding out in cars," he said. "I'm gonna catch them."
Noller said the break-ins last weekend cost him more than $1,200 in damages and stolen property and he planned to increase security on his
Five Lawrence car dealers reported that over the weekend cars on their lots were broken into and stereo equipment was stolen, resulting in about $5,000 in damages and losses, Lawrence Police said yesterday.
Ron Brown, owner of R&B Sales,
said four cars on his lot were damaged
last weekend, and two stereos
were stolen.
Steve Noller, owner of Steve Noller Lincoln-Mercury-Jeep, said that since he opened his dealership in 1987, he has broken into about every other weekend.
