News Briefs Man shoots his wife, kills self, police say
OSAWATOMIE — A man who shot and killed his wife outside a bar early yesterday committed suicide seven hours later, shortly after police surrounded him at a vacant house, authorities said.
Chris E. Tyrell, 39, Osawatomie, shot and killed himself with a shotgun five minutes after Miami County authorities decided to fire tear gas into the house, according to Sheriff Dan Morgan.
Tyrrell, who had fled on foot, was found at 9 a.m. in a vacant house about 3 miles from the lounge, authorities said.
Witnesses told investigators that Tyrell shot his 26-year-old wife, Mary Lois Tyrell, with a shotgun twice at 3 a.m. outside a lounge northeast of town.

KU to suspend social welfare grad program at Wichita
The KU School of Social Welfare will no longer offer master's degree classes in Wichita, school officials announced last week.
By PAMELA SPINGLER
The program, which started in 1976, will be phased out between spring 1987 and spring 1988. The program will continue until 2004.
However, no specific timetable has been set up. The KU classes now are taught at Wichita State University, which has an undergraduate social welfare program but no master's program. Students will be able to take the classes in Lawrence after the change.
The KU program is being cut because of financial constraints resulting from a 10 percent increase in the school's enrollment. Patricia Ewalt, dean of the school, said.
"The actual decrease in the number of graduates isn't that great," she said.
Ewalt said an average of 12 students graduated each year with master's degrees in social welfare from the program at the Wichita campus, and about 120 students graduated each year from the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses.
The program offers students in Wichita an opportunity to complete the first year of the master's degree program — which consists of eight classes and a practicum — at Wichita State while receiving KU credit.
The University of Kansas is the only state university that has an accredited social welfare graduate program.
the practicum, an in-field opportunity for students to work in social welfare agencies and private businesses, would not be hurt, Ewalt said. Many social welfare students already commute from Lawrence to Wichita for the practicum each week, she said.
Students come to the Lawrence or Kansas City campus to specialize during the second year of the program.

Staff writer
By SALLY STREFF
Former Sen. George McGovern will speak at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
McGovenn, Democratic candidate for president in 1972, will give a speech titled, "The Reagan Foreign Policy: A Critique."
He also will have a news conference at 1 p.m. Thursday in the Jayhawk Room of the Union.
McGovern was a U.S. senator from South Dakota from 1962 to 1980. He also was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and served as chairman of subcommit-
tees on African affairs and the Middle East.
He was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs and member of the Joint Economic Committee.
In 1972, McGovern ran for the presidency against Republican incumbent Richard Nixon. Nixon won 520 of 537 electoral votes and 62.6 percent of the popular vote.
McGoventry was selected by President Ford as a delegate to the 31st session of the United Nations General Assembly in 1976 and was chosen by President Carter in 1978 as a delegate to the United Nations special session on disarmament.
His speech is part of the Pearson Lecture Series, which was started by former Republican Sen. James B Pearson, who represented Kansas from 1962 to 1978. The series is designed to bring prominent government figures to the University of Kansas.
The series receives some financing from Student Senate. The senate will provide $2,000 to pay McGovern for his speech.
McGoventry was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1956, where he served until 1960 when President Kennedy appointed him director of the U.S. Food for Peace Program.
Since 1976, he has been a visiting professor at Columbia University, New York City; Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.; Duke University, Durham, N.C.; the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; the University of New Orleans; American University, Washington, D.C.; and University College, Dublin, Ireland.
he is the author of six books, including "A Time of War/A Time of Peace." "An American Journey," and "Grassroots."
McGovern is scheduled to speak at the University of Nebraska later Thursday night.
Alcohol Awareness Week to offer films
Organizations to present big screen antics to entertain and inform
By PAM MILLER
Moviegoers were entertained as they watched Dudley Moore in the movie "Arthur" drunkenly buy every shirt in a department store, and Rob Lowe, in the movie "St. Elmo's Fire," belt out a blues tune on the saxophone.
Several characters in both movies were amusing to watch on the big screen, but many of those characters' actions were influenced by alcohol.
This year, the Student Assistance Center, the office of residential programs and various student organizations will focus on the problem of alcohol in those movies and others during Alcohol Awareness Week, Oct. 20-24.
halls, scholarship halls, the Interfraternity Council, Watkins Hospital and the Organizations and Activities Center also helped choose activities for the week
The theme will be "Drinking — Just Like in the Movies," said Lorna Zimmer, the director of the center
The center has been in charge of organizing Alcohol Awareness Week for several years. Representatives from Student Senate, residence
The main attraction for Alcohol Awareness Week is movie showings at different locations on campus, Zimmer said.
"We're trying to provide entertainment that would be of interest to students. Free entertainment."
"Alcohol plays an important role," she said. "It is entrenched in our society through movies.
"I think some of these films people have seen before and will enjoy enough to see again — focusing on alcohol will make them watch it in different terms."
A session to answer questions about the role of alcohol in the movie is scheduled after each film.
"more than just food and a bed" through its involvement with the program.
The office of residential programs also is involved in the activities of the week. Deb Stafford, assis- ss in this program.
Some of the residence halls will be showing the movies and providing their own non-alcoholic activities during the week. The halls will show another movie, "Cocaine Drain," designed to promote awareness of the drug problem.
"One thing I want to emphasize is that Alcohol Awareness Week does not mean prohibition," Stafford said. "We're concentrating on responsible and the awareness of the effects of alcohol."
Stafford said plans for other programs for Alcohol Awareness Week had not been completed vet.
Zimmer said the approaches used to inform students during the week had been helpful in the past.
Although "no heroic numbers" of students come into the center on a daily basis, some are seeking help there with problems caused by alcoholism.
ASK voices opposition to drug tests
By a Kansan reporter
Student leaders from public universities around the state this weekend adopted a position in opposition to mandatory drug testing for university students and student athletes.
The Associated Students of Kansas, a statewide group that lobbies to the Kansas Legislature and the Board of Regents, adopted a formal statement at its October Legislative Assembly in Overland Park.
Missy Kleinholz, Topeka junior and a KU student senator, presented a resolution supporting the statement against drug testing. The Student Advisory Committee made the statement last month to the Board of Regents.
The Student Advisory Committee told the Board of Regents that it opposed mandatory drug testing because it violated constitutional rights but that it supported educational programs identifying the hazards of drug use.
The assembly also discussed several issues concerning higher education, Kleinholz said.
"It was educational in that we heard about what other colleges are doing." Kleinholz said.
For instance, Kleinholz presented KU's Course Source to the students from other schools. Course Source is an in-depth guide to KU classes.
Students also discussed the state's sluggish economy and what effect it would have on public universities.
