Time, money lost along with IDs
By Bob Tinsley
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
A six-digit identification number follows students through their campus years as surely as final exams, but some students take the numbers for granted.
Careless use of the numerical identity can cost the student and some University operation time and money.
Misuse of library privileges seems to be the chief abuse of lost or stolen student identification cards at the University.
At Watson Library, personnel will confiscate a student identification card when the person carrying it doesn't match the ID photo, said
Kendall Simmons, circulation supervisor.
The library will hold the identification card until the person can supply other proof of his identity.
"They never come back," Simmons said, "so we know the IDs were
She said this might occur only once or twice a year.
If a student loses his identification card, he should notify the circulation desk at the library immediately. If someone checks out books with a stolen card, the library can't give the victim the benefit of the doubt.
"You're out the money, and we're out the books," she said. "Chances are we won't replace them, and some have has gained. It's really too bad."
Although some students plead innocence when books checked out in their names are missing, Simmons said she knew of only one occasion when a culprit was found.
"It turned out to be a guy's younger brother," she said. "He went after him for the fines and everything. He had no idea his younger brother helped himself to the ID."
Gary Thompson, director of student records, said that only about a dozen students each semester report their identification cards lost or stolen to his office.
Such students are sent to the enrollment center, 111 Strong Hall, for a copy of their current semester schedule, he said.
"Basically, we want to get the student number to match the name.
That's probably our number one objective." Thompson said.
Each student must provide identification at the center. Picture IDs are preferred, he said.
However, the system is not fool-proof.
Thompson said he then would ask the student questions to further verify his identity.
"In other words, something you would know yourself, but another person did not know," he said.
"The person that's extremely clever and doesn't care about right and wrong will find a way to do it, and that's true of anything," he said.
"Do you penalize the student who lost his in the wash, or do you hand a few of them out, realizing that a few of them are for illegal purposes?"
WICHTA - Six men were held in the Sedgwick County Jail yesterday following their arrest Wednesday night in Liberal during an undercover drug operation by federal, state, county and local officers.
Gasoline price gap widens

Charges against the men were pending before the U.S. magistrate.
TOPEKA - The price gap between regular leaded and unleaded gasoline has increased during the past year in the state despite a recent federal ruling that is to increase the cost of regular fuel, a Kansas Corporation Commission official said today.
Liberal Police Chief Rick Kistner said the arrests and confiscation of one pound of cocaine followed the lengthy surveillance of a parking lot at the city's airport. He estimated the value of the cocaine at $80,000 and said it was the largest drug seizure in Liberal in several years.
Goltz said the figures compared to a 6.3 cent-per-gallon difference in the price of the two fuels at this time last year.
The latest survey of Kansas' gasoline retailers showed that unleaded fuel averaged 6.7 cents per gallon more than regular leaded at self-service pumps, said Lyle Goltz, the KCC's fuel allocation analyst.
The price of regular leached has not increased despite the federal Environmental Protection Agency recent order for lower lead content in leaded gasoline, Goltz said. But the price of regular is expected eventually to match that of unleaded.
Kistner said the undercover operation covered several counties and involved officers of the Liberal and Wichita police departments, Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department, Kansas Bureau of Investigation and federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
The survey also showed the average price per gallon was $1.16 for self-service regular, $1.23 for unleaded and $1.35 for premium unleaded. The average price at full service pumps was $1.30 for regular, $1.36 for unleaded and $1.50 for premium unleaded.
The retail price of gasoline has reacted slowly to recent price reductions in crude oil, Goltz said. Motorists in the state might see some relief during the next month when prices should drop about 2 cents per gallon.
Kistner said an automobile and pickup truck also were confiscated under the seizure procedures of federal rateeering statutes.
But Goltz said diesel fuel prices are likely to increase by about 3 to 4 cents per gallon.
Man will leave farm without any trouble
time before the deadline, Rogers agreed to hear Ringer yesterday afternoon. 但 attorneys for the Federal Land Bank, which took possession of the Gove County property, were unable to get to Topeka in time for the hearing.
U. S. District Judge Richard Rogers yesterday refused to block a court order directing marshals to move Ringer, a Quinter farmer and former congressional candidate, off the land, which was taken by foreclosure action.
Ringer argued that he had an oral agreement with James Bittel, senior vice president of the Federal Land Bank Association, that Ringer would be allowed to rent the land for a year.
Wearing jeans, shortsleeve western-cut shirt and cowboy boots, Ringer acted as his own attorney in a hearing before Rogers yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the day, he filed motions seeking to stay the "writ of assistance" ordering marshals to remove livestock and machinery from the 320 acres.
TOPEKA — With his last legal remedy apparently exhausted, farm activist Darrell Ringer yesterday said he will cooperate with marshals who have been ordered to kill off his former farmland and by Tuesday.

Because of the short amount of
On the basis of that "oral lease," Ringer said he agreed to a consent order in bankruptcy and did not fight attempts to foreclose on the property. In addition, he said he invested $1,866 plus expenses preparing the land for a new crop.
After the hearing, Ringer made arrangements with a U.S. marshal to remove his equipment and cattle from the land. Ringer never had a residence on the land.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The FBI said yesterday that a fingerprint found in a mobile home used to kidnap a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper matches that of a man on the agency's Ten Most-Wanted list who is charged with escaping from a Tennessee prison and robbing two banks.
