6 area killings occur
By BILL GRAY
Kansan Staff Reporter
Shooting deaths continued to plague the Lawrence area during the semester break. Six persons have died from gunshots since Nov. 13.
On that date, Todd Storbeck, Winfield junior, was shot to death in a holdup at the Sanctuary Club. Don Howard Long, Topeka, has been charged in Douglas County with first degree murder in connection with the slaying. He is also charged with 12 other crimes involved in the holdup and subsequent kidnapping of two Sanctuary employs.
Long pleaded innocent to all charges on Jan. 3, and his trial date has been set for March 3 in District 1 of the Douglas County Court.
Long also faces seven charges in Shawnee County in connection with the kidnapping of the Sanctuary employees and the kidnaping of two Lawrence men. He also is charged with escaping from the Shawnee County jail during an assault as a suspect in the Sanctuary holdup.
The most recent killings in the area occurred in Linwood, 11 miles east of Lawrence. Donald and Jeanette Leusler, teachers at Linwood High School, were found dead of gunshot wounds Jan. 8 in their home.
Leavenworth County Sheriff Dan Hawes said recently that the deaths were the result of a murder—suicide. It appeared that the suspect was his wife and then shot himself, Hawes said.
Two days before the discovery of the Leuzers, on Jan. 6, Sally Dee Spears, a Lawrence High School junior, was shot to death in the early morning at 1112 Computer Street.
Terry J. Hatfield, 21, $ 819 \frac{1}{2} $ Vermont, was apprehended at the scene of the shooting and has been charged with second degree murder.
Spears was the daughter of Billy Spears, leader of an area country music band, and assistant food service manager of the Kansas Union.

gatts's son, Robert Kent Gatts, 23, of the home, was charged with first degree murder. A competency examination was conducted by the County District Court Judge Frank Gray.
A spokesman for the Gatts family said on Dec. 9 that the younger Gatts had a long history of mental illness, and had spent some time in mental institutions.
Gatts was examined by psychologists and diagnosticists at the Bert Nush Mental Health Center in Douglas County, and the group sent Jason to trial. The group signed an order committing Gatts to the Kansas State Hospital at Larned, a
Bus report shows riders costs increase
By DAVID OLSON Kansan Staff Reporter
The number of people riding the bus increased by more than 50 per cent last fall over the fall semester 1973, according to a report送来了 Monday by the Student Senate office.
Almost 457,000 persons used the campus
from the previous year's total of 292,733.
*
An increase of 36 per cent in the total cost of operation was mainly due to inflation, John Beiser, student body president, said vesterday.
Beisner said the $18,565.25 increase in operating costs was balanced by a 17 per cent increase in bus operating hours, and a 114 per cent increase in season bus passes sold last fall, compared to the fall semester of 1973.
A 23 percent increase in cost to the Campus Transportation Fund, from $17,100.57 in the fall of 1973 to $17,021.57 last fall, is expected to be canceled out by increased enrollment and additional apartment complex subsidies. Beaiser said, the fee that accounts for an enrollment is composition of a $1.50 charge to each student.*
Beisner said that if inflationary costs increase again next year, the Student Senate may be forced to rely more heavily on government subsidies to subsidize the 'KU on Wheels' bus program.
In a letter accompanying the study, Beisner called for an in-depth transportation study to be initiated by the administration.
The last such study was completed a year and a half ago.

On Dec. 9, Jerry Lee Tinkham, 26, Rt. 5,
was shot through the heart in a rural
Lawrence home. A 16-year old juvenile was
questioning in connection with the shooting.
Mike Elwell, county court judge, said on Dec. 13 that no charges would be filed in the case. A report by the Douglas County Sheriff's office and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said that there was no evidence that the shooting was anything other than an accident. The juvenile was allowed to return to his home.
A recent shooting was reported to the
Douglas County Sheriff's office by James R. Wayland, Eudora. Wayland said the shooting occurred the night of Jan. 13 on a car that had been shot in the chest and臂头.
Wayland said in a report to the sheriff's office that he was driving along a county road when he stopped to flash its lights. Wayland said he thought that it was a signal for him to stop. He said the driver asked him about "Wild Man", Wayland assumed his girl friend's birthday.
The man threatened him with a pistol, Wayland said, and when he grabbed for the gun, it went off. Wayland said he pretended to be dead until the man drove away.
The Shawnee County Sheriff's office is enclosing the incident, LL. Larry Good in showing it.

Bassett ponders USC
839 Massachusetts • Downtown
No refunds or exchanges . . . entire stock not included
By JIM McLEAN Kansan Staff Reporter
Edward P. Bassett, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, is considering an offer by the University of Southern California at Los Angeles to become director of their School of Journalism.
Bassett, former dean of the KU School of Journalism, said Monday he hadn't made a decision, but expects to hear from USC this week, concerning their final offer.
"There is no undergraduate journa-
talism program in the Pacific West with
an English major."
Bassett said he wasn't dissatisfied with
his position at the University, but that the vice chancellor's office needed the talents of full-time people. Bassett serves only half time in the vice chancellor's office.
The opportunities available in the los Angeles area are important considerations, but there is much more to consider.
