Cigich said she and a confidential informant had met Barritt at a restaurant and had asked him where they could buy cocaine. Barritt contacted Jack G. Houk, 34, another of the 21 indicted in July, and told him to bring 2 grams of cocaine to the restaurant, she testified.
When Houk arrived, Cigich said, the four of them went to the parking lot of a shopping center.
While they sat in the car in the parking lot, she testified. Barritt snorted two lines of a white, powdery substance.

in an unoccupied office, she testified.
Thomas Stephenson, a confidential informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency, testified that Barritt distributed about an ounce of cocaine to him on Jan. 16 in an incident not related to the May 14th prisonation.
Stephenson said Barrritt called and set up a meeting at a house on the outskirts of Lawrence.
Stephenson testified that Barritt talked to Carl K. Stilley, 24, another of the 21 indicted in July, during a stop at a construction site.
Stilley told Barritt he could obtain the cocaine, Stephenson testified.
Stephenson testified that Barritt took him to the home of Richard von Ende, former University executive secretary.
Stephenson and Barritt took Barritt's car to a grocery store parking lot, and Stilley arrived shortly thereafter and gave the cocaine to Barritt, Stephenson testified.
Stephenson testified that Barritt sampled some of the cocaine and put the rest in his lap. The two then drove to von Ende's current residence and Barritt gave Stephenson the cocaine, he said.
Following testimony, Barritt's attorney, Roy Holiday, Overland Park, made a motion to dismiss the charges against Barritt.
GMAT not a surprise despite rumors
By PAMELA SPINGLER

No real surprises will be waiting for students taking the Graduate Management Admission Test on Oct. 18, despite rumors that a surprise section will be added.
Ronna Robertson, assistant director of the master's program at the KU School of Business, said the supposedly surprise part of the GMAT had been part of the test for the past several years. Students must pass the test to be admitted into a graduate business program.
worry about the section," she said.
David White, director of Testing for the public and author of "The GMAT Exposed: Tricks from 20 GMATs," said he thought that students would be surprised by the section "Analysis of Situations" because sample questions for that section were not included in the registration packet.
Testing for the Public, a Berkeley, Calif., organization, examines tests such as the GMAT and the Law School Admission Test.
"People haven't been told about it," White said. "It looks like the test has been changed, but it hasn't." By
The Educational Testing Service, Trenton, N.J., which developed the section, is sending out sample questions with the students' admission tickets.
the time the student finds out, it's too late."
White said students might not receive the tickets until two or three days before the test.
The section has sparked criticism, in the past because of its susceptibility to test system tricks. Students knowing the system will be able to answer test questions correctly without reading and evaluating the problem.
KU survey says most drug tests ignore alcohol
By ALISON YOUNG
Alcohol is the drug most abused by college athletes, but few universities test for it, according to a KU survey scheduled to be presented today at a Georgia conference.
The survey, conducted by David Cook and Raymond Tricker, assistant professors of health, physical education and recreation, questioned 120 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and Division II trainers about their athletic drug testing programs.
Even though 73 percent of the trainers surveyed said alcohol was the drug most abused by college athletes, only 36 percent said their school tested for it. The percentages are based on answers from 44 NCAA Division I trainers.
According to the survey, few athletes abuse illegal drugs. At 78 percent of the schools, 5 percent or fewer of the athletes tested positive.
The University of Kansas is a school that doesn't test athletes for alcohol. Gary Hunter, KU associate athletic director, said yesterday that KU athletes were tested for all performance-enhancing drugs including amphetamines, cocaine, steroids, and marijuana.
Hunter said less than 5 percent of KU athletes tested positive but he declined to comment on which drugs had tested positive. He agreed that alcohol was probably the drug players used the most.
Hunter said KU didn't test for alcohol because the drug dissipated rapidly in the body. He said each athletic team had its own policies for alcohol use by players.
