Hilleerst Theatres 1-2.3, Ninth and Iowa streets, will become Hilleerst Theatres 1-2.3-4.5 when two new movie auditoriums are completed later this month.
The $1 million renovation began in March. Elden Harwood, district manager of Commonwealth Theatres, Inc., said yesterday that Hillcrest was scheduled to reopen Oct. 17 at a grand opening sponsored by radio stations KLWN-AM and KLZR-FM.
Harwood said most of the movies shown would be first-run commercial movies, but foreign and art films also would be shown. One of the five auditoriums may be set aside to show non-commercial films early next year, he said.
Total seating at the theater will be increased from 1,100 to 1,600, and three of the five auditoriums will have full Dolby stereo sound.

Cocaine users crave status
By COLLEEN SIEBES
Most think drug is chic, expert says
Cocaine use among middle-aged Americans is the result of widespread use of drugs on college campuses during the early 1970s and its growing reputation as a chic status symbol, said a drug prevention specialist yesterday.

Cocaine has become a socially acceptable and a recreational drug that has the undeserved reputation of being safe, said Hanne Lille-Schustad, Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism prevention specialist.
In July, 21 residents were indicted in Kansas on state and federal cocaine-related charges. The indictments were the result of an extensive investigation by state and federal officials.

By PATRICIA FEENV
About 21.6 million Americans have used cocaine at least once in their lives and 200,000 are cocaine addicts, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study released in April.
Most compulsive users are well-educated, generally law-abiding citizens and usually professionals in their middle 20s and 30s, Lille-Schulstad said.
Lille-Schulstad and Riley said that drug prevention has been a strong campaign issue for politicians but that they were curious to see whether that concern would continue after the November elections.

As the "The Star-Spangled Banner" played and 132 Air Force ROTC unitized, Lt. Col. Charles W. Mosley, a former KU AFROTC commander, said farewell and retired from the Air Force yesterday.
She also said that many times people resorted to cocaine to combat relationship problems, insecurities, phobias and feelings of inadequacy. But most people are introduced to cocaine in a social setting, she said.
Mosley, 45, began his Air Force career 21 years ago when he was commissioned on the KU campus after his graduation. Yesterday in front of Allen Field House, he received a medal for meritorious service and a retirement certificate.
Cocaine then quickly becomes the most important thing in a person's life, often replacing an interest in food and sex, she said.
Capt. Joseph Goldblatt, left, reads the service record of Lt. Col. Charles Mosley, right, as Lt. Col. Phillip Litts, center, and Sondra Mosley listen. Mosley was honored yesterday at a retirement ceremony in front of Allen Field House. The ceremony included a parade by KU Air Force ROTC units.
Mosley is a Vietnam veteran who has served in Nevada and in Arizona. His career ended the way it began, with one last salute to the cadets, most of whom served under him.
"That's the way he wanted it," Capt. David Johnson said. "He wanted to salute the troops one more time."
Johnson said Mosley was the most patriotic officer he had ever met. He said he found out just how patriotic Mosley was when they were rehearsing for a ceremony two years ago. Johnson was in a sound booth and Mosley was alone in the auditorium.
In August, Mosley enrolled at the University of Kansas, and he has been working toward a teaching certificate. Mosley said he should be finished in three semesters and would go on to teach chemistry, physics and math in secondary schools.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" started to play, and Mosley, not knowing I was watching him from the sound booth, immediately came to attention and faced the flag." Johnson said. "He was not doing it for anyone."
Mosley said the philosophy he had while teaching history to ROTC cadets that was people should learn from their mistakes so that they would not repeat them.
Mosley said the students had completed a cycle and might return to an apathetic nature if nothing happened to shake them up politically or socially. He said activism today sprang out of self-interest. People protested because they were concerned for themselves and what they had gained.
Mosley said women and men joined the ROTC because they wanted to do something meaningful. He said the program is enjoying its greatest popularity.
"It isn't glorious," Mosley said. "It is a filthy job that has to be done. There is nothing glorious about it."
"Young people today are more like my generation." Mosley said. "They are professionally oriented when they come out of high school, just as the students were in the 1950s."
There is nothing wrong.
"When Uncle Sam says give me those school books and take this rifle and go into this jungle, you have to
know you might never come back."
Johnson said. "He was one of those folks you say you enjoyed working with. I admired and respected the sentiment he held for his country. He was the kind of leader who would send in plays but let you call your own shot. KU AFROTC took off under his management."
show you might never come back.
Mosley joined the Air Force because he was a service-oriented person and gained satisfaction doing a job well. Money and positions were never motivators, he said.
He said he didn't think the students of today were different from his generation.
Defendant swears officials lured him
By RIC ANDERSON
TOPEKA — A 24-year-old Lawrence man yesterday testified that federal officials, whose investigation resulted in his July indictment on cocaine-related charges, enticed him to break the law.

In fact, Clark distributed the drug to Richard LaMere, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, and Tom Stephenson, a confidential informant working for the DEA.
Clark testified that he distributed a gram of cocaine on Feb. 26 to two people he believed were figures in the rock 'n' roll music industry.
Clark, who was indicted in state court on one count of selling cocaine, is scheduled to appear in Douglas County District Court on Oct.15.
Christopher Clark, 2516 Morningside Court, appeared in U.S. District Court yesterday to testify on his own behalf.
Clark testified that he met Stephenson, who was introduced to him as "the world's greatest rock 'n' roll star," at the Lawrence residence of Richard von Ende, former University executive secretary.
Clark, whose trial began Monday, was charged with one count of distribution of cocaine. On Monday, federal officials dropped a single charge of distribution of methylenedioxy methamphetamine, a drug commonly known as "Ecstasy."
Closing arguments are scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. today.
LaMere and Stephenson testified for the government Monday that Clark had given them the drug. An audio tape, recorded through a hidden recorder, also was used as evidence.

into take Stephenson had told him that he knew a man named Rick who was the manager of the Rolling Stones rock band. Rick was actually LaMere.
Carrs said Stephenson often talked to him about producing "Ecestasy," which Stephenson said could be made cheaply and sold for a high price.
Clark said he was broke at the investigation and had not been using drugs for more than two years. However, Clark testified, he started using drugs again when Stephenson began bringing them to his house.
On Feb. 26, he said, Stephenson told him to get some cocaine for LaMere, who was flying in from Chicago. Clark said he obtained the cocaine and put it in his kitchen.
"He was very interested," Clark said on the witness stand. "He wanted me to find someone who could make it. He told me all my financial problems could be solved."
LaMere testified later that he laked the snorting of the cocaine to retain Clark's confidence.
Clark testified that he went to dinner with LaMere and Stephenson and returned with them to his house. Clark said he placed part of the cocaine on a plate for LaMere to sample and sold him the rest for $100.
Three defense witnesses followed Clark on the witness stand.
However, each declined to testify, invoking the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which allows witnesses to refuse to incriminate themselves.
David Gliman, Clark's attorney,
attended to persuade U.S.
District Judge Richard Rogers to
grant immunity to the witnesses.
When Rogers refused, Gilman presented a motion to drop the charge against Clark. He said the case was impossible to try because the witnesses were intimidated by the ongoing government investigation. The motion was denied.

TOPEKA — The Democratic candidate for state attorney general continued his assault on the integrity of his opponent yesterday, demanding that the Republican tell the "true" version of the settlement of a lawsuit against him.
During a news conference, Dennis Moore, Johnson County district attorney, reiterated his request that Attorney General Bob Stephan account
Moore makes lawsuit an issue in campaign
Neil Woerman, Stephan's spokesman, said yesterday that Stephan had answered questions repeatedly last year and had told everything he knew.

"I have something to tell Mr. Storey and Mr. Stephan," Moore said. "The truth doesn't need to be explained — it just needs to be told."
Woerman said Moore was continuing "to beat the same dead horse" because he was behind in the polls.
Moore questioned a statement from Stephan's lawyer, Bock Storey, who said last week that $12,000 of the $24,000 settlement may be missing.

for the money involved in the 1985 out-of-court settlement of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Moore charged yesterday that Stephan kept changing his version of the story. He said that at first Stephan said the settlement was secret so he couldn't talk about it. Then, Moore said. Stephan said he didn't know the terms of the agreement, and finally he disclosed that the lawsuit had been settled for $24,000.
He denied that he was calling Stephan a hair but said that Stephan should step forward and tell who contributed the money and how much money the settlement involved.
Last week, however, Moore brought attention to the matter because, he said, he thought Stephan's integrity was an issue. He called for Stephan to disclose the names of the donors of the remaining $12,000.

Storey has said that he and former Attorney General Vern Miller raised $24,000 from friends to settle the case. Storey disclosed the names of the donors of $12,000, but the donors of the other $12,000 never were made public.
The lawsuit was settled out of court in March 1985. Storey and Stephan disclosed in October that $24,000 had been paid to the plaintiff, Marcia Tomson, a former clerk in the attorney general's office.
