Flags in windows denied
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
tiring of spending time with his younger cousins and giving "warm hugs and lots of love."
Vanessa McGrath and Alison Hult taped two American flags to the front window of their third floor apartment. They were showing their support for their country after the Sept. 11 events, but they were asked to take the flags down.
Last week, McGrath, Shawnee junior; Hult, Omaha, Neb., junior; and other residents of Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St., were told they could not keep their flags up.
The residents received a typed letter from the management of the complex. The letter briefly explained that according to their agreements in the lease, they were not allowed to mount anything on the windows. The letter specified that it would "take away from the uniformity of the complex."
"Fifty-five hundred people died and that is the only thing we can do; we aren't in New York," she said.
JPI Inc. of Irving, Texas, — the company that owns Jefferson Commons—did not return calls yesterday afternoon.
McGrath said she was upset and felt the letter was totally unnecessary.
The Rev. Dennis J.J. Schmidt said Bennett would chuckle at those who attended the service frantically trying to find a parking space. For his Eagle Scout service project, Bennett coordinated the church's parking and continued to do so even after he completed the endeavor.
The letter suggested alternative options for the residents, such as mounting the flags on the patio area. Hult said that being asked not to put a flag on a window, but being permitted to hang a flag over a balcony, did not make sense.
"You would think that is less uniform." she said.
In response to the notice, McGrath said more decorations had appeared on windows. She said she had yet to remove the flags from her window.
Although the letter indicated they were not allowed to mount anything from their window, both residents said considering the Sept. 11 events, the request seemed unreasonable.
"We pay rent to live here and if we want to hang a flag up, I don't think it's asking too much," Hult said.

Hundreds mourn drowned student
The Associated Press
Bennett, Chapman and Shipley were last seen Dec. 4, when they set sail on the lake. Bennett's body was found two days later.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Between 500 and 600 people gathered Monday afternoon for the funeral of Timothy Bennett, a Kansas State University student who died last week when a sailboat apparently capsized in Tuttle Creek Lake near Manhattan.
The funeral for Bennett, 19, of Kansas City, was at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral.
His two companions, Kyle Chapman and Christopher Shipley, both 18 and from Olathe, are still missing and search efforts continued in the lake Monday.
Bennett's relatives remembered him as dedicated to his family, never
