Restaurant trial set for guide dog case
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Reporter
*Lawrence restaurant owner, who asked a blind Topeka woman to remove her guide dog before he would seat her at the office.* Oct. 23 in Lawrence District Court.
Ed Roste, owner of the Aztec Inn Restaurant, 807 Vermont St., was charged with violating Kansas" "white cane law," which states that refusing to serve a blind person accompanied by a guide dog in a restaurant is an unclassified misdemeanor punishable by 30 days in jail, a $500 fine or both.
Roste, who originally was scheduled to be arraigned today in district court, had his trial date set by Wesley Norrland defense attorney from Lawrence.
NORWOOD SAID yesterday that misdemeanor trial dates could be set by the defense attorney and the district judge without the appearance of the defendant.
Ann Byington, 32, filed a complaint with Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney, after employees told her that dogs were not allowed in the restaurant and ignored her table when she sat down.
Roste said he did not refuse to serve Byington. He contends he only asked
her to remove her dog from the restaurant before she sat down.
"I asked her to please remove her dog," he said. "She came into the place in the middle of lunch with another friend, and she had a real reason for her dog to be there."
Byington said she passed out notices
from the print station on it to
Arte Imprenta Group.
ROSTE, HOWEVER, contends no one
hould him any paper or told him of
any law.
"I didn't know there was a law against it," he said. "They tried to show my employees some papers, but they were too busy to read them."
Roste said he received a "raw deal" from the media coverage of the event.
"I've had letters and telephone calls saying I was a mean guy for kicking the Byington out," he said. "I have nothing against the handicapped. Hell, my boy's paralyzed from the neck down from a car accident."
Hate letters and threatening phone calls aren't only things Roste has to worry about.
"It's hurt my lunch business
business is down at 20 percent overall.
Roste said he was sorry the incident happened.
"I didn't know there was a law against what it was, and I was dealing with that in the official hand."

Composer to speak tonight on 20th century
By JANE NEUFELD Staff Reporter
Jon Cage, an innovative American composer, will speak on how not to understand the 20th century at 8 tonight in the auditorium of Spencer Art Museum.
"I noticed last year that in both Europe and America there was an interest in understanding the 20th century. That's why I'm giving the lecture." Cage said, "to save it from being understood."
His speech, "James Joyce, Marcel
Duchamp, Eric Sartie, An Alphabet.
is the first of the 1980-81 KU Humanities Lecture Series.
"Mozart had a way of tossing dice to make waltzes." Care said.
The I-Ching gives answers on a 64-number system. Cage said he took the numbers, converted them to numbers between one and 88 (the number of keys on a piano) and used those numbers as the notes of his composition.
Cage is known for his unique methods of composition, such as using I-Ching blocks.
"I instead of making choices in a composition, I make a series of questions that could be answered," he said.
Cage also developed "prepared piano," in which objects such as keys, coins, weather stripping and furniture screws are placed between the piano strings to produce unusual musical tones.
One of his works, "Four Minutes and 32 Seconds," has no music at all but consists of the sounds of the envelopes of four-minute and 32-second time span.
It was first performed in three years at the woodstock, N.Y., 30 years ago. Case said.
He said the first movement was the sound of the wind, the second was the
sound of rain and the third the sound of the crowd.
He said he had always wanted to follow music instead of following tradition.
His experiments have opened him to some derision, however.
"I'm surprised at how much they consider me a clown," he said of his reputation in music anthologies. "I've taken my work seriously, and I've only done strange things when I thought it absolutely necessary."
Is he one of the elements of the 20th
that people shouldn't try to understand?
"I try to be," Cage said.
