Parks

Parks joined the staff of Life magazine as a photographer and filled that position for more than 20 years. In addition to his many and memorable photographs, he has written five sonatas, one ballet, two symphonies, numerous poems, 10 books and now is working on his 11th book and another sonata.
Parks said that although he had touched many people through his seven films, he preferred to compose music and write poetry.
"Baby, there are 3,000 poets and maybe the thousand people who read poetry," he said. "But as long as I say
something important, those thousand go away with a message."
Parka will celebrate his 72nd birthday in November, but he made it clear that retirement was not in his hands.
"Retiring? Never, never," he said. "That's what creativity is all about. You can't turn it off and on."

Park's return to Kansas from his New York City home is a brief one. Research for his latest project, a novel about the life of the 18th-century English painter J.M.W. Turner, awaits him in Europe.
Judge Richard Rogers of Topeka more than a year ago. Rogers is a former president of the Kansas Senate.
Larry Harper, the Republican Party's top assistant in Kansas and aide to Kassebaum, said no word had been received on Rogers but Kassebaum was still behind her choice.
"There has been no word from anyone saying Dick Rogers is not under consideration," he said. "We're still supporting him."
Dole originally had supported Rogers, but the White House asked him for other nominations because there was a concern that Rogers, 63, was too old for the position. Harper said.

Weather

74, Patilon, Neb., died when his car rammed into a car that had slid out of control on slick, raincooled Interstate 35 in Lenexa, the highway patrol said.
Temperatures in Lawrence should dip to the mid-30s tonight, but tomorrow should be warmer, the meteorologist said.
"The rest of the week we should have highs in the 60s, which is still below the normal mid-70s for this time of year," he said.
Resignation
Students accustomed to normal temperatures were not prepared for the cold weather.
"I don't have my warm clothes here yet, so I had to borrow a coat," said Anne Pilgram, St. Joseph, Mo. sophomore. "I just stayed inside this weekend. I like the cooler weather, but not the rain."

"Jeff didn't want to make himself inaccessible to any student, because ASK represents all students," Chamblin said. "I don't think political lines are as clearly drawn here, and I'm not in a party."
Polack said there had always been talk about getting the University out
"I know legislation is being drafted out there somewhere," he said. "I just haven't seen it."
of ASK, but it had never gone as far as legislation in the Student Senate
All Senate legislation must go through the student body vice president, who sends it to committees.
Hurricane Gloria's death toll climbed to 11 yesterday and millions of dollars in damage to New England's apple crop was added to the storm's legacy of destruction as crews worked to restore power to more than 1 million customers.
Gloria cuts power to coast
United Press International
Among those killed was a Rhode Island man who was struck by the boom of his 30-foot sailboat at anchor during the storm, police said.
Some businesses, already hit with property damage in scattered cities in Rhode Island and in Cape May County, N.J., reported incidents of looting. Officials reported 10 arrests in Rhode Island.
Over 600,000 customers on the East coast remained without power two days after Gloria roared from North Carolina to Maine.
"The power thing is really the problem," said Larry deBear, spokesman for Conn. Gov. William A. O'Neill. "It really has a ripple effect that involves almost every aspect of life you can think of and that's what the real problem is."
About 375,000 customers still had no electricity in Connecticut, nearly 110,000 customers in Massachusetts, at least 50,000 in Maine, 75,000 in Rhode Island, 9,500 in New Hampshire, and 400,000 on New York's Long Island and 3,800 in other areas of New York.
Power had been restored to most customers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Among the countless ill effects of the loss of electricity was the cancellation of the Yale-University of Connecticut football game at the powerless Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn.
In Maine, officials said they hoped to save power restored throughout the state.
But a Boston Electric official said it would be several days before many of its customers' lives returned to normal. Jim Webster, spokesman for the utility, said the job of restoring power was painstaking and time consuming.
"The wires are tangled in the trees which need to be moved by city personnel and Edison crews have to
be there to coordinate so no one gets shocked or injured." he said.
Crews from as far away as Canada and North Carolina flocked to New Orleans in 1940.
While the fall foliage season appeared to have weathered Gloria without loss to the tourism industry, England apple crop was hard hit.
Massachusetts officials estimated that $5 to $7 million of the state's average annual crop of $25 million had been destroyed. Officials also said that about half of Massachusetts' $800,000 peach crop and 30 percent of its $3 million silage crop were ruined.
In New Hampshire, orchard owners said they lost up to a third of their Mcintosh apples, but said a controversial chemical Alar — used to help hold apples on trees and currently under federal review — minimized losses to the state's top agricultural crop.
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture officials planned to meet today in Amherst, Mass., to determine the extent of the state's agricultural losses.
Two honor farm inmates missing
The Associated Press
LEAVENWORTH — Two inmates who walked away from a minimum-security farm at the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth were still at large yesterday, prison spokesman Carl Hackle said.
The two men, Larry Everett Brown and Benjamin Chambers, were
"They're not dangerous or armed or anything like that," he said.
discovered missing at about 10 p.m.
Saturday, Hackle said.
He added that local and federal authorities had been notified but had not found the men.
Brown, 36, whose last address was in Leavenworth, was serving four years for mail fraud, said Deputy
Doug Davis of the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department.
His description, age and sentence matched those of a Larry Everett Brown convicted in March of trying to defraud insurance companies in February 1984 by driving his truck into the Missouri River to fake a drowning.
