Hayden to appear in court to answer questions on flier

TOPEKA — The clerk of Meade County District Court yesterday issued a subpoena requiring Republican governor candidate Mike Hayden to appear at 9 a.m. Monday in court at the preliminary hearing of John Goss, a man accused of the Sept. 8 murder of a Plains woman.
Terri O'Connor, left. St. Louis junior, paints Joshua Supernaw's face while Tim McFerrin, Coffeyville junior, watches. Joshua, 6, attended a party last night for KU Pals that the Sigma Nu fraternity and the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority sponsored.
The subpoena was issued at the request of Linda L. Eckelman, a Dodge City attorney who was representing Sesame Shaw, not been served to Hodgson law.
Eckelman said a campaign fluer Hayden had released about capital punishment had prejudiced her client's case by flatly stating that Goss "murdered" the woman, and she did not think he could receive a fair trial because of it.
Eckelman told The Associated Press in a telephone interview last night, that she wanted to question Hayden at the preliminary hearing about where he obtained information contained in the campaign brochure mailed a week ago to 112,296 Kansas voters.
Kelley Hayden, brother of the candidate and press secretary of his campaign, issued this statement last night, which he attributed to Mike Hayden:
"If and when a subpoena is issued
I of course, will fulfill any responsible
objection."
"I have no information whatsoever of this case. No copies of the capital punishment brochure were mailed to Meade or surrounding counties."
"I would point out that the contents of the capital punishment brochure have received a thorough airing in the press. I have stated that I sincerely regret any and all errors that may have been made."
Mike Swenson, media coordinator for Tom Docking, said the Democratic gubernatorial candidate would have no comment on the matter because it involved a pending court case.
Eckelman said the brochure was highly prejudicial to her client because it said he committed
murder, evealed he previously was placed in probation, and contained autopsies; information she didn't have.
She's *girl* she would seek a change of venue and *die* on dissemination of the inform *in* on the brochure, but she wasn't *nurse* Goss could get a fair trial anyway *in* Kansas because of its wide *cultivation*.
Hayden had acknowledged the brochure had inaccuracies but defended its basic message — that he suppoiled capital punishment and Docking did not — and said it was too much. He explained why the explanation of the brochure's flaws.
A statement in the brochure, which was attributed directly to Hayden,
"A classic example of a district judge following the Carlin-Docking guidelines on criminal-codelling took place recently in Meade County.
"It itens the court turned a walking time-bomb loose on the folks in that,"sa A convicted felon, John Gosson who was sentenced to 2-to-5 years in prison on April 22, 1986, was put a probation by the judge on Aug. 28, 1986.
"On Sept. 8, 11 days after his release from prison, Goss murdered Jan Amerin at her home in Plains. Amerin was shot three times in the back. One bullet collapsed a lung, another clipped her liver and a large blood vessel, and the third bullet snapped hef spinal cord. The girl's mother witnessed the killing and saw Goss fee the scene in the girl's car.
"This causes me great distress. A 27-year-old woman is gunned down in cold blood because the very system which is supposed to protect her turns against her. The woman's death is a direct result of the flagrant permissiveness which contaminates the Carlin-Docking system of criminal justice. Easy probation; easy parole."
Eckelman said the Hayden statement stated that her client murdered

Sigma Nu fraternity, Ghosts,

below.
Supernaw needed a lot of coaching to make it even this far last night.
Danny Manning, KU basketball forward, gripped Supernaw's hand a little tighter and whispered in the boy's ear.
"Are you nervous?" Manning asked. "I am."
Sighna Nu and the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, 2005 Stewart Ave., have sponsored the Halloween party. Leah Gauntier, Alpha Gamma Delta philanthropy chairman, said both houses would do so again next year.
Supernaw and Manning were two of about 400 people who attended a Halloween party and haunted house for KU Pals, an organization that provides role models for children. The party took place at the Sigma Nu fraternity, 1501 Sigma Nu Place.
This is the second year that
Head basketball coach Larry Brown, the basketball team and about 20 members of the KU football team also attended the party.
While Manning and Supernaw waited in line for the haunted house, the 6-foot, 11-inch Manning had to stoop to reach the boy's hand. Supernaw, who was dressed as supernaw, only as high as Manning's waist.
When screams came out of the darkness below, a little boy in front of Supernaw giggled and balked.
Two KU football players picked him up and carried the giggling boy down the stairs.

KU Pals is based on the concept of the Big Brother/Big Sister programs with college students acting as older brothers and sisters for local children. Most of the children are in elementary school.
Kim Bulman, president of KU Pals, said about 60 children from
"All of the kids had a blast." Bulman said. "The Sigma Nus and the AGDs did everything, which was great."
Before Supernaw went to the haunted house, he decorated a trick-or-treat bag with his KU Pal, Tim McFerrin, Collegeville junior.
Supernaw grasped an orange crayon in his left hand and wrote his name on the paper bag.
"You make the 'r.' It's hard," Supernaw told McFerrin.
McFerrin drew an 'r' and gave the cravon back to Supernaw.
On the main floor of the fraternity house, the children fished for prizes, played musical chairs and other games. Each child received a small pumpkin.
Pumpkins showcase tradition

Alan Atkinson opted for a pocketknife instead of a serrated knife supplied by the Kansas Union to create his masterpiece.
Atkinson, a Lawrence graduate student, took more than an hour to carve his Beak 'em Hawks and Gartfield designs on pumpkins at the Student Union Activities pummeon contest. Wednesday and yesterday.
"It's sort of a family tradition," he said. "I carved my first pumpkin when I was about eight years old. My father learned it from his father, and I learned it from him."
Atkinson and other KU students put 41 pumpkins under the knife, turning the lifeless fruit into Halloween jack-o-'lanterns. The jack-o-'lanterns are on display in the Union.
Peggy O'Brien, SUA Fine Arts board member, said she was pleased with the response to the contest.
"It was definitely a success." she said.
O'Brien said 'the board had supplied 50 pumpkins for the contest and 41, became jack-o'-ligners. The nine others will be used as decoration at a masquerade ball tomorrow night in the Hawk's Nest restaurant in the Union, also sponsored by SUA.
O'Brien said the pumpkins were available for anyone who wanted to carve one. She said SUA had done more than 10,000 carved pumpkins and planned to do so in the future.
The winners of each category will receive a book of SUA movie passes, and the runners-up will receive a free bowling privileges at the Union
O'Brien said the contestants stopped carving about 3 p.m. yesterday so the pumpkins could be put in the display cases.
Union staff members will judge the pumpkins and award prizes for the scariest and most creative lack-o'lanters.
Voters to chose favorite Miller in 43rd
They will be on display until 2 p.m. today. Participants may pick up their pumpkins then, she said.
By KAREN SAMELSON
Voters don't have to be political experts to know that Miller will win the election to the 43rd District seat in the Kansas House of Representatives.
The question is how many when voters in the 43rd District mark their ballots Tuesday, they will choose either Democrat Bob Miller or Republican David G. Miller.
David is from Eudora and has represented the district in the Kansas Legislature since 1981. Bob is a sociology professor at Baker University in Baldwin City.
He campaigns as David G. Miller, where his onemonth emphasizes his first name, Bob.
"I'm sure there's some confusion," David Miller said yesterday.
David Miller said, "I think there are clear differences between the Millers."
Bob Miller said he was a little surprised that more people weren't confused about the names of the candidates in his race. He said he could count on one hand the number of people who had mistaken him for his opponent.
Chris Miller recalled that early in the campaign he visited a Lawrence resident who asked whether he was the Miller in the Legislature. When he said no, the vote decided that the candidate had to be the university professor.
To further confuse matters, the 44th District race includes a candidate named Chris Miller.
Christ Miller, a Lawrence lawyer, is a Republican runner against Jessie Branson, the Deplegate.
He theorized that the publicity from the Bob Miller-David Miller race might help him with name identification.
Chris Miller said he replied no to that question, too, and the confused voter responded. "Well, then
Chris Miller said all three candidates got along well — even though he thought Bob Miller was from the "wrong" party.
However, Chris Miller said that not as many people were confused as he had expected.
The Millers in the 43rd District won't have to worry about who is listed first on the Nov. 4 ballot, because their names will appear at the top on an equal number of ballots, John Reinhart, public information director for the Kansas secretary of state's office, said.
State election bill reaches $100,000
By BETH COPELAND
John Reinhart, public information director in the secretary of state's office in Topeka, said state law required the office to place legal advertisements in newspapers informing the public of the constitutional amendments on the ballot.
Kansas has spent more than $100,000 to campaign for seven "candidates" in the primary and general elections, a state official said yesterday.
As a result, the office placed ads in 105 newspapers — one in each county of the state — once a week for three weeks before the primary and general elections.
Voters considered two constitutional amendments in the primary and will consider five more in Tuesday's general election.
The general election ballot lists five proposed constitutional amendments concerning pari-mutuel

KU business director to retire
By TONY BALANDRAN
L. Martin Jones was here before Allon Field House
Before Summerfield, Learned,
Wescott and Eraser halls.
Even before the residence halls on Daisy Hill and the Memorial Campanile.
By the early 1940s, Jones, 63, director of business and fiscal affairs for the Lawrence campus, already had stepped onto the campus to which he would dedicate the next 40 years of his life.
"No one knows the fiscal dealings of the University better than Martin Jones," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday.
"Martin Jones is an institutional treasure," he said. "He will be difficult to replace."
Jones will retire Nov. 17, and a reception to honor him is scheduled for 3 p.m. Nov. 14 in the Watkins Room of the Kansas Union.

In fact, Jones has been a football spotter for 35 years. He watches the zame from the press box and informs the team of the roster of what is happening on the field.
"I have spent about 19 years on the faculty of the school of Business and about 20 in central administration. After 40 years, I think it's time for someone else to step in."

However, business was not 'Jones'
only concern. He enjoys KU musical
and theatrical productions, and is an
avid football fan.
Jones began his connection with the University of Kansas when he enrolled in 1940. He earned his bachelor's degree in business six years later because he spent three of
those serving in the military in World War II. He spent five months in a prisoner of war camp after his capture during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.
After he earned his master's degree in business in 1947, he began teaching in the School of Business until 1960, when James Surface, then dean of business, asked him to be his assistant.
Keith Nitcher, University director for business and fiscal affairs, has worked with Jones for more than 30 years.
"If you wanted a job done well, you had Martin do it." Nitcher said.
In 1966. Jones became KU budget officer — four years before he was appointed assistant to vice chancellor for business affairs under Raymond Nichols, current chancellor emeritus.
Since 1966, he has been working in the University's central administration in several positions.
