Delivery man beaten by 2 men Saturday
A Pizza Shuttle delivery man was assaulted by two men early Saturday morning, Lawrence police said yesterday.
Police said that the man had an injured left eye and his glasses were broken, but that he delivered it to the reporting the incident to them.
The 28-year-old delivery man told police that while driving north on Ousdahl Road at about 12:45 a.m. he swerved around a red Chevrolet Z28 that was stopped at 23rd Street and Ousdahl Road.
He said the Z28 drove in front of his car and stopped at 21st Street and Onsdahl Road, cutting him off.
The delivery man told police that his car died after he stopped it and put it into reverse.
Two men, he said, got out of the Z28 and began hitting him in the face with their fists. The delivery man described the two suspects as 6-foot white males weighing about 190 pounds each.
The man told police he then got the car started and drove away, leaving the two men in the street.

Mural allows expression Students draw on thoughts
Of the Kansan staff

The yin-yang drawing, a Chinese symbol for equality, slowly changed character and meaning as Richard Renner, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, added hands and feet to his mural creation.
Penning the odd figure "Zen Clown," Renner stepped back to compare his work on the SUA art gallery's participatory exhibit with the work of others.
"If I had a choice for a tattoo, it would be this," Renner said yesterday. "The symbol is a way to bring together my spiritual life and my compassion for comedy."
Renner, who works part time as a professional clown, was only one of 32 students who took advantage of SUA's invitation to participate in the Express Yourself gallery exhibition yesterday. Many more students will create images of thought on one of the five 8-by-4 foot canvas panels in the SUA gallery on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
A group of pre-school children from the Lawrence area will visit the gallery Friday afternoon and draw on a panel reserved for them.
Rick Lindley, fine arts board member, said the exhibit would last until Sept. 20 if drawings did not become obscene or vulgar.
Steve Callahan, originator and chairman of the exhibit, drew the first design, an eye, to symbolize the ongoing need of humans to express themselves artistically.
"I feel a close affinity with this symbol because it is repeated through history from pre-historic to modern
art," he said. "Likewiley, the need for people to express themselves through drawing is nothing new."
Callahan said the exhibit also humanized the gallery setting by inviting artistic interaction.
"You see it in the Australian Paymies 'figures on bark,' Theodore Stavros rock paintings, Paleolithic cave paintings and in the modern work of Jean Michel Basquiat's graffiti-art and Keith Haring's subway art."
Lindley said, "The show was very impromptu. The board had some reservations about it, but decided to give it a try."
Most exhibits are planned six months to one year in advance, but when an art education show was canceled, board members had only one week to plan another exhibit.
"As far as I know, this is the first exhibit of it's kind," Lindley said. "So far it's doing really well. We may even have to get more panels because they're filling up so fast."
By 4 p.m. yesterday, 32 students had quickly scribbled or meticulously drawn designs that varied from simple stick figures to intricate Welsh fans.
Angie Hawkins, Kansas City sophomore, drew a rendition of the Kansas Land of Abb's theme. Her drawing depicts a Kansas farmer sitting on a toilet, cornhusk wine in hand, saying "Abhh."
"People have this love-hate thing about Kansas," she said to explain the drawing. "The design is one that I sent to a friend in California to remind her of Kansas."
Some designs were symbolic, such as the two angrily hunched stick figures. Other designs, such as Renner's first picture of a jack-in-the-box, were just for fun. Renner drew his first design early yesterday morning and returned at noon to find a request to do another.
Two found guilty in protester cases
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Two anti-apartheid protesters were convicted yesterday in Lawrence Municipal Court of criminal trespassing during a demonstration at the Kansas University Endowment Association in May.
Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior,
was convicted of trespassing May 3
at Youngberg Hall, home of the
Endowment Association.
Ungerman was fined $40 and must pay a $5 court fee.
Shawn Holstrum, Wichita, a freshman at the time of her arrests May 3 and 9 at Youngberg, is not enrolled at the University of Kansas this semester. She was convicted on both counts of criminal trespassing.
Holstrum was fined $40 for the May 3 incident and $25 for the May 9 incident. She must pay a $10 court fee.
Jack Klinknett and Barry Shalinsky, Lawrence attorneys, have represented about 55 of the 60 anti-apartheid protested arrested while protesting the Endowment Association's investments in companies that do business in South Africa
Klinkett said he was not surprised about the decisions because of the judge's decisions in previous cases during the summer.
Pro Tern Judge Paula Burns has presided over all of the protesters' trials in municipal court.
The judge was satisfied that the protesters had been given enough warnings to clear a path in the area, Klinknett said, but not all the protesters may have heard the warnings.
He said eight protesters were planning to appeal their decisions.
Ungerman said she testified that she did not hear the bullhorn warnings.
"It seems that the judge thought the warnings were adequate," Ungerman said. "I was disappointed, of course. It appeared to me that the judge had made up her mind before the trial."
Ungerman already had been convicted of criminal trespassing May 9 in a trial July 12.
Holstrum said, "I was pretty surprised. I thought I was innocent on at least one count."
Klinkett said the criminal justice system had treated the protesters' situation as criminal trespassing only.
A memorandum written by Burns after previous protesters trials in the same situation said, "One cannot choose not to listen and complain that he or she did not hear."
"They haven't concerned themselves with what the protesters were doing," he said. "They aren't concerned about the political and social aspects."
Burns said yesterday. "The protesters were judged on the elements of the crime."
Mike Glover, city prosecutor, said criminal trespassing was the issue.
Holstrum said she had not decided whether she would appeal her convictions.
Ungerman already has been cited as being in contempt of court for not paying the $30 fine from her first trial.
Ungerman said she planned to appeal her conviction and would refuse to pay a fine.
School gets $10,000
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
The departments of electrical and computer engineering last Friday received a $10,000 donation for research from Hughes Aircraft Co. of Los Angeles, a company spokesman said yesterday.
David Newland, director of system laboratories at Hughes, will hand over the check to the University of Kansas today.
The donation is a membership fee for the industrial affiliate program of the School of Engineering and will go to the Telecommunication and Information Sciences Laboratory at Nichols Hall. The donation will be reviewed annually for renewal.
The laboratory conducts research
for industries and the government and in telecommunication areas such as fiber links.
Michael Fashado, manager of communication and data system laboratories at Hughes, said, "Hughes supports many schools, but we consider KU a top school in communications. We have had a very close relation with the engineering school for a long time."
Sam Shammugan, director of the Telecommunications and Information Sciences Laboratory, said Hughes had been extremely supportive of the School of Engineering in the past.
Hughes has given gifts in form of software packages and fellowships, he said.
Sticker dates Students start bumper sticker dating club
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
People searching for an alternative to meeting people at bars or through computer or video dating services can now look to Lookers, a backpack bumper sticker dating service started by two students this week.
Charlie George and Steven Nixon, Dodge City sophomores, decided to offer the service after hearing about similar programs on the radio and reading about them in newspapers. Bumper sticker dating services have been springing up all over the country from Los Angeles to Atlanta, providing people with a unique means of getting dates.
These dating clubs give their members a bumper sticker with the club's telephone number on it. People who see the bumper sticker and want to meet the driver of the car can call
the service, give the driver's license tag number and leave a message for the driver.
Then, the service will forward the message to the driver, and he can communicate with the customer.
George and Nixon have taken the idea one step further - providing their own version of the service to fit college students' ways of life.
George said the 3-by-5 inch cards included Looker's telephone number and could be placed on bumpers, rearview mirrors or backpacks.
"We will provide our members with two Lookers cards with a four-digit number on them," George said yesterday. "With our introductory offer, a lifetime membership costs $7 for students and $15 for non students."
George and Nixon said that because they began advertising just yesterday, they hadn't had any
"We thought of the idea at the end of July and have been gathering information ever since school started," Nixon said. "The card idea is for flexibility. There are thousands of people who walk in front of Wescoe every day, and you can wear your card on your backpack for everyone to see."
George said the most appealing aspect of the service was that people didn't have to be members to participate.
response yet. The Lookers cards will be available Monday. People interested in joining the club can write to Lookers, P.O. Box 3966, Lawrence, 6044.
Messages and photos can be mailed to the Lookers post office box to be forwarded to members. Messages cost $2 for student members, $3 for non-student members and $4 for non-members.
