Glover to be named new city prosecutor today
By BLAKE GUMPRECHT Staff Writer
Former Lawrence state representative Mike Glover, who stepped down in December after four terms to join a private law practice in the city, was named Lawrence city prosecutor this morning.
City Manager Buford Watson refused to confirm the announcement, but said that a 10 a.m. press conference had been scheduled for today to name a new city prosecutor.
Glover, in an interview yesterday, would only
say that he was "under serious consideration"
for the position and that he was scheduled to talk
to city officials for a second time yesterday
afterpon.
He said that if the job were offered, he would accept it.
COLT KNUTSON, LAWRENCE city prosecutor since January 1978, submitted his resignation Sept. 12 with the intention of entering private practice in Lawrence.
Glover, 33, a 27-year Lawrence resident and KU graduate, was best known as a liberal Democrat in Logan, Utah, for his efforts to get him hired in deep nationalized, earning him the nickname 'Miamian Mike'.
He said that rumors of an opening for a city prosecutor had nothing to do with his decision to return. He applied for the job after seeing a newspaper advertisement two weeks ago.
He left Lawrence in January to join the

a commitment to spend a long time there. We just weren't ready to make that commitment."
GLOVER SHIELD THE DEICTION to return was fingered by the desire of his wife, Bonnie, to reinstate him.
She had been employed previously as a teacher at Lawrence High School and Baldwin High School and most recently as a state purchasing supervisor in Topeka.
"Her only opportunity in Fredonia was in teaching," he said. "She decided she didn't want to be a teacher, and she was offered her old job in Topeka.
really only have your job and your family life there. It's hard to start any outside interests."
Glover's colorful political career began in 1898 when he was 22. He unsuccessfully forged the presidential campaign.
After a two-year Army stint, he returned to Lawrence to run for the House in a new district created after 18-year-olds were given the right to vote.
The state's 44th District included most of the city's student population. Glover's ideas, particularly his drive to change the drug laws, helped elect him in 1972 at age 25.
Republican challengers failed in three succeeding elections to drive him from office.
KU fall enrollment tops 1979 record
By CINDI CURRIE Staff Reporter
When declining national enrollment trends caused KU administrators to least expect an increase, enrollment at the University of Kansas rose again.
There are 26,745 students enrolled at KU this semester, an increase of 518 compared to last fall, Gilbert Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said yesterday.
On the Lawrence campus 24,466 students are

Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said he was pleased with the enrollment figures because they showed an increase greater than he had anticipated.
"It indicates that parents and students still have a lot of confidence in the quality of their school."
Shankel said a large portion of the enrollment increases came from the Regents Center in Overland Park, whose students were included in the Lawrence campus count.
THE REGENTS CENTER provides off-campus upper-level courses for students in the Kansai region.
"The program over there is meeting a real need," he said.
Despite the increases this year, Shankel said

engagement.
He said enrollment probably would stabilize for at least the next ten years until the current increase in the birth rate could reflect a growth in enrollment.
That growth in enrollment could help the University financially because budget requests to the Kansas Legislature are based on fall enrollment figures.
Shankle said the formula budgeting system approved by the Board of Regents allowed the University to request funds based on the student enrollment instead of on a protected figure.
THE ENEROLLMOTT TOTAL this year will be used to remount funds for next year, he said.
The funding requests are based on full-time equivalent enrollment, the measure of student
Full-time equivalent enrollment totaled 23,189 this fall, an increase of 196 from last year.
Foreign student enrollment in Lawrence also increased by 82 students over last year's total of 1,500. There are also 71 foreign students enrolled in Kansas City, bringing the total to 1,653.

Brutality charge unsupported by KBI evidence, Malone says
Citing insufficient evidence, Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney, said yesterday that he would not file police烬障 charges against him for their action at Commissionment May 19.
Malone concluded that a report he commissioned from the Kansas Bureau of investigation failed to support allegations by Ron Kuby, 1979 KU graduate, that police used unnecessary force when they removed a banner displayed at the ceremony.
"I don't believe the evidence would sustain any charge." Malone said.
Jim Denney, director of KU police department, said he was very pleased with the decision.
Kuby, who currently is attending law school at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., said Malone's decision was typical of one office protecting another.
"These people work together," he said. "What other decision could you expect?"
Kuby was with 11 protesters who were arrested during the ceremony after they scuffled with KU police on the top of the Memorial Stone. She was charged with criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct or both.
Cult Knitten, city prosecutor, dropped the charges against the protesters Aug. 29, after KU officials took no action against protesters in the area. A commencement binder at Concession on Aug. 25.
Kuby, who was not arrested in the incident, suffered a hairline fracture of his left wrist when police wrested a banner reading, "Protect First Amendment Rights at KU." from the demon-
Kuby said the logical conclusion to his not being arrested with the others was that he didn't do anything wrong. He also said a double stampe was in effect when it came to police and the public.
"The guy's a politician," he said. "Maybe I'm to expect him to transcribe his political limits."
Kuby called Malone's explanation of his non-
rationalization "and said it
increased more questions."
Malone said Kuby was not arrested at the incident because the police knew who he was.
"If five demonstrators had jumped a cop they would still be in jail," he said.
"The police had limited numbers and could always back for him." Malone said.

For the first time in four nights of supplementary budget request hearings, the Student Senate finance and auditing committee voted to provide funding for a give full funding to two student organizations.
Two organizations also were denied preliminary funding.
The People's Yellow Pages, a KU information directory, presented in the first request last September, is the primary e-mail resource.
Stouffer Neighborhood Association also presented its $174.01 request last night and was given full funding with a rider requiring that the group not seek further Senate funding until checking out all other funding possibilities, including other campus living organizations.
THE HILLTOP CHILD Development Center's
pre-school program was built to zero,
preparing kids and scholars for a
future of learning.
The Kansas Telos Group, a sociology organization, also had its $638.60 request for newsletter and conference production costs cut to zero.
Bren Abbott, Senate treasurer, said he could not justify Senate funding for the upkeep of state property. The Senate rules and regulations also keep Senate from funding scholarships, he said.
the group had an international reputation, it
taught them how to fund better inform
KU students of its activities.
The committee decided, however, that because the group previously had been self-sufficient and because funds were tight this year, the group could continue to be self-supporting.
Some committee members said that although
TAU SIGMA DANCE Ensemble and the Sailing Club both withdrew their requests. Tau Sigma had requested $877.66, and the Sailing Club did not present its request. The Pre-Nursing Club did not present its request.
The nine other groups presenting their requests last night were Minority Business Students Council, $187.62; Engineering Council, $20.40; Polish Club, $41.30; KJHK-FM, $11.31; MECHA, $356.50; Turkish Club, $552; Graduate Students in Urban Planning, $1220; Thai Association, $50; and Women's Coalition, $1,040.05.
The finance and auditing committee will meet at 4 p.m. today to investigate duplication of services between the Latin American Club and the Latin American Solidity Club. No arrangements had been made yesterday for planned investigations of the Formosan Club, the Chinese Student Association, the Undergraduate Business Council and the KU Accounting Club.
The committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Kansas Union International Room to determine final recommendations to present to the Senate.

China faces a challenge if it expects to reach its goal of becoming a modern nation by the 21st century, said John Roderick, Associated Press febreaker chief.

"This change is encouraging because it hasn't happened in 30 years," he said.
