Kansas group to fast
A daylong tast and pucket is scheduled to begin 8 a.m. Oct. 6 at the Federal Building in Topeka. The fast is sponsored by Kansans Fast for Life in Central America.
The purpose of the action is to call attention to the four U.S. veterans who are fasting on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building, said Clark H. Coan, a member of the group.
The four men in Washington are appealing to representatives in Congress to reconsider their previous votes approving aid for the contras in Nicaragua.
In a prepared statement, the veterans said the government was not representing the consensus of the U.S. public when it approved the aid.
"In our fast for life, we want it known that our government does not speak for us, nor does it speak for most Americans," the statement said.
The Kansas group will fast to prompt Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum to reconsider their support for the contras and to talk with the four veterans.
Police charge two
Two men were booked into the Louisiana County Jail yesterday morning on unrelated charges of battery on a police officer.
Ray D'Armond, 1908 19th St.. was charged with battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. He was booked into jail at 12:55 a.m. Police reports said D'Armond punched an officer who had been called to D'Armond's house to investigate a disturbance.
Martin Brown, 1712 Fifth St., was booked into jail at 1:30 a.m. yesterday after he shoved an officer, police reports said. The officer was attempting to keep Brown away from the manager of a night club.
Correction
Because of a reporter's error, a story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly reported that Thomas Stephenson testified during a trial. Stephenson did not testify.
Weather
Today will be mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms and a high temperature in the upper 70s. Winds will come from the south, 10 to 20 mph. Tonight will be mostly cloudy with a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms and a low temperature in the mid-60s.

The University of Kansas appointed its first environmental health and safety officer Tuesday to oversee hazardous waste management on campus.
Staff writer
Steven G. Cater, an environmental engineer with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, should begin the full-time job next month, said University officials.
John Landgrebe, professor of chemistry and chairman of KU's institutional biohazard committee, said Cater will fill a long-standing gap in the University's overall safety program.
Landgrebhe has volunteered during the last two years to coordinate KU's hazardous waste disposal, with the understanding that someone would be hired to fill the position full-time.
KU was just beginning to discover the extent of its hazardous waste pro-
"We've shipped 2.5 tons of hazardous waste off campus and that's just the beginning." Landgrebe said.
Much of the waste is generated by the painshop, printshop and academic research labs.
Most of the 2.5 tons was backlog, he said.
In March, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment released a report that cited several problems with the management of hazardous waste disposal at KU, most of which concerned record keeping.
Robert C. Bearse, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said Cater wasn't hired this year because of the reports.
A second report, released this summer, said the University had improved some of its waste disposal practices.
Bearse said there was no one reason for the creation of the new position. He said KU had been concerned about hazardous waste for 10 years.
Cater said he looked forward to the challenge of the position.
He graduated from Kansas State University in 1982 with a degree in chemical engineering. He has worked for the state agency for $2\frac{1}{2}$ years.
"The University finally came to the conclusion it got too big to handle on a day-to-day basis," Bearsaid said.
Cater said one of the problems with KU's waste management was with record keeping
Individual departments now control waste management, but no office on campus coordinates these activities. Bearse said.
"The main reason is that nobody really had the time to keep track of the problem." Cater said.
dearse said Cater's first duty would be to work with the management and disposal of hazardous waste generated on campus.
Bearse said Cater, in a way, would get to define his own job. He said that the immediate need was to deal with hazardous waste but that in the future Cater's responsibilities might be broadened to other areas of campus safety.
Cater, whose office will be in the nuclear reactor building, adjacent to Learned Hall, would receive a salary of about $30,000. Landgrebe said.
Bearse said that 20 years ago, the University wasn't as aware of hazardous waste on campus as it is now.
The University requested money this summer that would be used to build a new hazardous materials handling complex. However, KU is still waiting for an answer on a federal grant request for $330,000 in matching funds.
"And now it's something we worry about every day," Bearse said.
Bearse said the University wouldn't know for several months whether it would receive the money.
Student covers swimsuit magazine

Arch your back! Suck it in! Stick it out! Smile! Smile! Show more hip — and smile! A model's life may seem glamourous, but it can be hard work, too.

Ask Sara Munson, Leawood freshman. She was one of three women featured in a swimsuit layout for Swimwear Illustrated, a magazine published in Mountain View, Calif. This month's issue features her on its cover.
The magazine, which the publisher categorizes as being between the styles of Playboy and Vogue, started publication in January.
Munson's modeling career started when she was working as a receptionist at Gold's Gym in Kansas City, Mo. She was asked by Bill Heger, an amateur photographer, whether she would model for him.
Heger submitted some pictures to the Ujena Company, the swim-suit fashion company that publishes the magazine. In June, the company asked her to go to Los Cabos, Mexico, to shoot a layout.
"It was really exciting," Munson said. "It was the first time I had been out of the country and everything was so beautiful.
Sara Munson, Leawood freshman, spends part of her time modeling clothing and swimwear. Munson was featured on the cover of this month's issue of Swimwear Illustrated.
"The beaches went on fore- and there never seemed to be very many people, although the hotel was booked."
Munson said she was surprised when she found out she was going to be on the cover of the magazine. The cover picture was a spur of the moment shot, she said.
"I was sitting on the beach watching the photographer shoot another model," she said. "He said, 'Sara, that's perfect,' and he took the picture. It was the one that ended up on the cover."
Munson, who had numerous pictures featured in the magazine, also posed topless, covering herself partially with her hands.
"What was so neat was I was being myself, just sitting there having fun."
"I loved doing the job," Munson said. "But there were times when I was sitting there, I hoped the day would end soon."
Munson's day began at 4:30 a.m. for make-up and hairstyling and would end about 10 p.m.
She said the pose didn't bother her, but her mother wasn't too excited about it.
She was paid $200 for the layout.
She also received $250 in clothes and received a 50-percent discount off any purchases from the Ujena company during the next two
years.
Munson aspires to be a model but also would like a career in acting.
But Munson said, right now, she was enjoying a normal college life. She is enrolled in 12 hours and plans to major in exercise science.
She said she chose the University of Kansas because it was close to home. But would she leave Kansas to go to California for a modeling career?
"Yes," she said. "I've lived in Kansas my whole life. It's rather boring, because after I did this, I
feel I could do more for my career if I was there.'
Munson said she started exercising regularly at age 15. Now, at 19, she works out four days a week at Junkyard's Jym and Nautilus Center, 535 Gateway Drive.
Topeka drug trial nears end
By RIC ANDERSON
Christopher Clark, 24, 2516 Morningside Court, whose trial began Monday morning, is scheduled to return to court tomorrow for the verdict.
Stan Warnter
TOPEKA — Concluding arguments were heard yesterday in the U.S. District Court trial of a Lawrence man who was indicted in July on cocaine-related charges.
U. S. District Judge Richard Rogers gave instructions to the jury after the closing arguments were heard. Jurors deliberated for about an hour and recessed at 4 p.m.
Clark was indicted on July 22 on one count of distributing cocaine and one count of distributing methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a drug commonly known as "Ecestasy." The charge of distributing "Ecestasy" was dropped on Monday.
Hday 14:30 apre He was arrested on cocaine-related charges with 20 other Lawrence residents after an investigation by state and federal officials.
David Gilman, Clark's attorney, said the government's case relied too heavily on Thomas Stephenson, a confidential informant who worked for the federal Drug Enforcement Administration during the investigation.
Gilman said Stephenson had misled both Clark and the DEA
"The government, in this case, has simply gotten into bed with the devil," he said.
Gilman said Stephenson had repeatedly urged Clark to distribute cocaine to a man named Rick, who Clark believed was the manager of the Rolling Stones rock band.
In January, Rick was Richard LaMere, a DEA agent. Gilman said Stephenson had called Clark several times during the week and told him to get cocaine for LaMere, who was flying to Lawrence on Feb. 26.
Clark obtained the cocaine simply to please Stephenson, Gilman said. He asked jurors to read a transcript made from a tape recording of the incident.
"Christopher Clark said, 'I'm just doing what you want me to do.' " Gilman said.
He also pointed out that Stephenson, not Clark, priced the cougane
the cocaine.
Kurt Shernik, U.S. Attorney, said the investigation was valid because the government didn't set out to trap Clark specifically.
Clark speculated, "The mere fact that the government presented a favorable opportunity does not mean entrapment," Shernik said.
He said an informant ideally would not be used in an investigation. However, he said, informants are nearly always needed to gain the confidence of the people being investigated.
Although Stephenson was involved in the investigation, Shermk said, he played a small role on Feb. 26.
"Tommy's participation was short on that day," he said. "It was mostly agent LaMere."
said. It was mostly late because Shernuk said there was no indication on the transcript that Clark had obtained the cocaine simply to please Stephenson.
"You won't find it even if you read it a hundred times," he said.
Shernuk also said that the topic of money was irrelevant to this charge.
Credit hours increase with enrollment
By a Kansan reporter
KU's full-time equivalent enrollment increased by 912 students this fall from last fall, according to figures released yesterday by the office of student records.
FTE enrollment is computed by comparing total headcount enrollment with the total number of credit hours the students are taking.
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the FTE increase confirmed something the University already knew — the student body also was taking an increased number of classes. The University set a record this fall with a headcount of 28,259 on all campuses.
Brinkman said it was possible to increase in headcount, but to decrease in FTE enrollment if students took small course loads.
