Survivor of crash a military adviser, Nicaragua claims
From Kansan wires
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — An American who survived when Sandinista soldiers shot down a cargo plane said yesterday he was an aviation specialist who boarded the C-123 in El Salvador.
Niceraguan officials have claimed Eugene Hasenfurt, 45, of Marinette, Wis., is an American military adviser serving in El Salvador and the transport shot down Sunday in southern Niceragua was carrying weapons and ammunition to rebelis fighting the leftist Sandistas.
Officials in Washington have denied any connection between Hasenfus and the U.S. government.
Hasenfus was allowed to speak briefly to local journalists in San Carlos, a port on Lake Nicaragua near the crash site. He said the plane began its journey in Miami, picked him up in El Salvador, then took an
Nicaragua aboard in Honduras and entered Nicaragua air space from Costa Rica at a site known as La Noca on the San Juan River.
According to Hasenfus, the Nicaraguan was one of three men killed in the crash.
It was not clear from the American's brief remarks whether he was a member of the military or a civilian.
Nicaraguan army officers who accompanied Hasenfus said the other two men killed were Americans they identified as Wallace Blaine Sawyer Jr. and Bill Cooper. Their hometowns were not available.
The bodies were said to be in bad condition and still at the crash site in a remote jungle area north of the San Juan River, which helicopters had difficulty reaching because of poor weather.

City may increase overcrowding fines
Staff writer
By JOHN BENNER
Lawrence city commissioners last night unanimously approved the first step toward increasing the maximum fine against overcrowding in a business from $200 to $1,000.
But, some commissioners say they would support increasing the fines to
The commission approved the first reading of the proposed amendment to a city ordinance that also prohibits blocking or locking exit doors. A second reading, followed by publication of the proposed ordinance, would be required before the increased fines could take effect.
Richard Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said he drafted the amendment to combat habitual violations of fire
codes by bar and restaurant owners who found it cost effective to overcrowd their establishments and pay a fine later if cited.
"These problems of chronic blockage or overcrowding which create extreme life hazards happen when the fines are too low." Barr said.
"One business was cited twice in one night and nine times in one year. In between citations, the business received numerous warnings."
Barr brought a list of six repeat offenders to the commission meeting, but declined to name any of them.

Commissioner Ernest Angino said he would support increasing the possible maximum fine even higher to $2,500.

Quick rise in KU funds not expected
By TONY BALANDRAN
Staff writer
Despite KU's record headcount enrollment this semester, the University probably won't receive additional state funds for the increase until fiscal year 1989.
Deb Teeter, director of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, yesterday said that under the current "corridor" system, enrollment-related funding lags behind actual enrollment by two years.
Under the six-year-old system, the Kansas Legislature allocates money to KU and other Board of Regents
schools, but the number of enrolled students and the money received do not relate directly, she said.
Teeter said the corridor concept was a complex process that accounted only for part of the total budget.
"Conceptually, you can have an enrollment increase and a loss of money." she said.
Whether the University loses or gains state appropriations is decided by comparing the difference of student credit hours taught during a base year with the number of credit hours taught during the last fiscal year.
To calculate the funds for fiscal year 1988, student credit hours taught during fiscal year 1986 were compared to hours taught during fiscal year 1985, the last base year.
The fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. The University now is in fiscal year 1987.
The base year changes every third year. Teeter said.
The method separates academic instruction at the University into specific disciplines such as business, communications, computer sciences and engineering, she said.
calculated by lower-division courses,
upper- division courses, graduate-1
courses and graduate-2 courses.
The total number of student credit hours taught for each discipline is
Lower-division courses include freshman and sophomore courses. Upper-division courses include junior and senior courses. Graduate-1 courses include master-degree courses, and graduate-2 courses include doctorate courses. Teeter said.
An example is lower-division course hours for business.

The Rev. Richard Taylor, president of Kansans For Life at its Bestl, jots down notes during a rebuttal by Gary Toebben, executive vice president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. The two men debated the proposed liquor-by-the-drink amendment last night in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union.
Foe, advocate debate liquor by the drink
by PATRICIA FEENY
Heather Fraley, a member of Student Union Activities' forums committee, said she thought the debate would increase student awareness of the issue. About 65 people attended the debate.
Kansans will vote Nov. 4 on whether or not to amend the state's constitution to allow liquor by the drink. If the amendment passes statewide, liquor by the drink would be allowed only in those counties where a majority voted in favor of the change.
The Rev, Richard Taylor, president of Kansans For Life at Its best! and Gary Toebben, executive vice president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, went head to head in a debate on liquor by the drink last night.
"We do an outstanding job of making outsiders and visitors, friends and guests feel like they are not a part of the inner circle." Toebben said.
Toebben, who opened the debate, argued in favor of liquor by the drink for hospitality and economic reasons.
He also said that not having liquor by the drink in Kansas also hurt the state's economic development.
Industries have been slow to invest in Kansas because the liquor by the drink laws have not made Kansas a popular place to have events like business conventions, he said.
"The lack of investment in our state is related to our archaic liquor laws," he said. "Our law, not the one we have as other states industries."
Toeben said that if Kansas passed liquor by the drink, three to
nine restaurants would be encouraged to open immediately, taxes might not have to be increased, and 50 to 100 jobs would be created in the state.
He said the liquor by the drink law was asking Kansans to promote consumption of alcohol. The issue is a health issue, he said, not an economic, moral or hospitality issue.
Taylor countered, saying that the hospitality and economic arguments were facades that pushers of alcohol operated under.
Taylor argued that more people were concerned when one athlete died from cocaine than when 1,000 people die each year from alcohol overdoses.
"Alcohol causes more human misery than all other drugs combined," he said.
When alcohol was less expensive and more readily available, Taylor said, alcoholism increased.
"On a national average, one in 14 people, 15 years old and older, is an alcoholic," Taylor said. "In Kansas one in 38 is an alcoholic."
Toebben said adopting liquor by the drink would not result in widespread alcoholism. He said that when the law became more liberal in 1979 and the state issued club cards, consumption actually went down.
Taylor said a vote for the amendment was a vote for death.
"Our values make us responsible consumers," he said. "The hard facts do not indicate alcoholism."
He said that for 16 years Taylor had turned legislators against liquor by the drink and, in turn, against more jobs and a broader tax base.

Figures say Chicagoans lured to KU
Bv SHANE A. HILLS
Chicago is KU's kind of town
The Chicago area replaced the St Louis area this fall as the top out-of-state metropolitan area from which the University of Kansas draws entering freshmen, the assistant to the dean of educational services said Monday.
Sally Bryant, the assistant,
counted 261 Chicago freshmen and
193 St. Louis freshmen on the fall 1986
enrollment records. Last fall, he
had 192 Chicago freshmen and 241 St.
Louis freshmen. The increase in the
number of students from Chicago
was 35.9 percent.
Bryant said that even Kansas City, Mo., sent fewer freshman to KU than St. Louis or Chicago.
Bruce Lindvall, KU director of admissions, said, "I see a tremendous momentum for KU growing in the Chicago area. I think the number could go up to 302 freshmen from the Chicago area next fall."
Lindvall, who spent 12 days in Chicago last month, said that while he was in Chicago, he and an assistant visited several dozen high schools to recruit students.
Lindvall said that over the last 20 years, KU and Chicago-area high schools had established a rapport. Don Alderson, former KU dean of men, started recruitment visits to Chicago about 20 years ago.
Lindvall said about 4,000 KU alumni lived in the city. Forty alumni and about 150 prospective KU students and their parents attended a September banquet in Chicago. The banquet marked the first time that the University combined recruitment efforts with an alumni gathering, Lindvall said.
