Anne and Mark Clevenger, Episcopal deacons, manage the services and daily routine of Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St. Canterbury House is an option for students who want to live in a Christian community
Canterbury House a home
Students learn religion, life

Four Episcopalian, college-age youths were finishing a recent evening discussion session with Anne and Mark Clevergant, two Episcopal deacons fresh out of the Yale Divinity School.
Laughter resounded from the living room of the Canterbury House.
The house, 1116 Louisiana St., is home for four young Episcopalians, three KU students and a student who attends Johnson County Community College. Attached to the home is a small, simple, dark-wood chapel. The residents of the home help the Clevengers with weekday morning and evening prayer services and the Sunday Eucharist, a communion service, in the house's chapel.
Large, old oak trees shade a sprawling wood deck that protrudes over the home's steep backyard.
"Canterbury House and the chapel are two of the best-kept secrets in Lawrence," Anne Clevenger said. "It's a quiet, beautiful place, practically on the campus and available to everyone, not just Episcopalians."
The Cleverengers administer the services, daily household maintenance and chores. Each
"Helping the Cleverengers with the services has given me the opportunity to see what a priest does and learn the intimate details of a church." he said Monday.
resident has a household responsibility and pays $50 a month for rent
Todd Harper, Topeka senior and a resident at Canterbury, said he thought he was the only resident of the home now who was interested in eventually going into seminary.
Anne Clevenger, 28, and Mark, 25, met and married while in the Yale seminary at New Haven, Conn. Canterbury House is the first assignment they have taken together. The church will consider them deacons until they have served one year. Then they will become priests.
After every Sunday Eucharist, the Clevengers and the residents host an informal dinner for the 30 to 50 people who attend the service. The dinner is either on the deck or in the main living room where posters for the Episcopal church hang on the walls.
One poster says, "There's a difference between being baptized and brainwashed." Another one says, "Nobody ever had to be deprogrammed from the Episcopal Church." And a third
The posters reflect an intellectual independence shared among all Episcopalians, Mark Clevenger said.
poster says, "The Episcopal Church welcomes you. Regardless of race, creed, color or the number of times you've been born."
Mark Clevenenger, a law student at KU, said he hoped someday to integrate his law studies with the priesthood.
He became interested in the priesthood when an Episcopal priest visited his family after his father died.
Anne Clevenger received her undergraduate degree in French from KU and since childhood has been active in the Episcopal Church.
She said the residents of the house gained a sense of fellowship unavailable to students in apartments or dorms.
"They learn what it means to live in a Christian community," she said. "It's important to sit together in a church environment and work out the mundane details of the household."
University requests more building funds
By ALISON YOUNG
The most significant aspect of KU's budget request for fiscal year 1988 is the dramatic increase in money for structural improvements, KU's budget director said yesterday.
Staff writer
The 1988 capital expenditure budget, part of the University's overall budget, requests more than $13 million, said Ward Brian Zimmerman, director of the budget. In fiscal year 1986, the capital budget totaled just under $4 million.
"It's the bricks and mortar of the University," Zimmerman said.
He said the almost $10 million difference between the 1986 capital budget and 1988 capital budget request illustrated the ending of a period of relatively low University structural growth, and the beginning of an increased growth period.
The 1988 budget request will include funds for the new science library, Haworth Hall addition and Human Development Center.
Fiscal year 1988 will be from July 1, 1987 to June 30, 1988.
In another phase of the University's two-year budget planning cycle, KU has submitted three budgets to the state for fiscal year 1988.
The three budget plans, titled A, B, and C, were submitted Sept. 15 to the budget division of the Kansas Department of Administration.
The most important of the three budgets is the C budget, which is the
actual University request, Zimmerman said.
He said the A and budgets don't include increases in unclassified salaries, utilities, student fees and other operating expenses.
It also includes an 8-percent student health fee increase and increases for utilities and other operating expenses, Zimmerman said.
The compilation of A and B budgets is merely to fulfill a state requirement. Zimmerman said.
The C budget, which totals $125.301.974, includes requests for new and improved programs, an 8-percent unclassified employee salary increase and a 1-percent addition to unclassified retirement benefits.
The more than $3 million in new and improved program requests includes money for establishing the third year of the computer engineering program, improving library resources and increasing graduate stipends.
In all, the new and improved programs would add 71 full-time positions at the University. Zimmerman said.
The state budget division will review KU's request and those of other Board of Regents' schools and make recommendations to the governor.
Monday's heavy rains soak some apartments
Staff writer
By PAMELA SPINGLER
The thunderstorms that unloaded 3.5 inches of rain on Monday also unloaded troubles on Lawrence residents, who were busy cleaning up the mess yesterday.
The rain fell for about an hour and a half Monday night and caused flooding and minor damages to apartments around Lawrence.
Gatehouse Apartments, 2166 W. 26th St., experienced flooding in some basement and first-floor apartments. In a basement hallway, a fishing bobber floated in water more than an inch deep.
Terry Brown and Tim Savage, who live in a basement apartment at Gatehouse, said they noticed their carpet getting wet about 9:45 p.m.
"Nothing is damaged," Savage said. "It's just a lot of inconvenience, a lot of humidity, and a lot of smell."
Savage, a Minneapolis, Minn., junior, said the water had peaked at about two inches. He said the apartment had flooded once before but not to the extent of Monday night's flooding. The managers said they had fixed the problem, which they attributed to faulty gutters.
When the rain began to taper off, the water in the apartment receded. By 11 p.m., about half an inch of
water remained on the living room carpet.
"I just happened to be standing by the window watching the lightning and when I walked away I heard the carpet squish." Brown said. "I took it in stride and had fun with it."
"I'm certainly not going to renew."
He said apartment maintenance "was a very big part" of the hallways and the flooded apartments and dried the carpet with fans.
Steve Sigg, manager of Gatehouse,
said heavy rain always caused
flooding on 20th Street and
times caused the apartments to
flood.
"It's really the city's fault because the water has no place to go," Sigg said. "The sewer drainage is inadequate."
David Jones, Lawrence street department supervisor, said too much rain came down too fast yesterday.
'It's Mother Nature's fault,' Jones said, 'With a steady, slow rain we don't have any problems, but with heavy rains, streets flood.
Corbin Hall, 420 W. 11th St., experienced some water seepage on the south wing of the hall, said Clint Burnette, Topea sophomore and desk assistant at Corbin.
Fugitive gunman eludes Missouri police
The Associated Press
WRIGHT CITY, Mo. — A fugitive who reportedly killed two people and abducted several others during a three-state rampage eluded a draget yesterday, and authorities discovered a third slaying that appeared to be the work of the gunman.
About 100 armed officers using dogs and helicopters hunted the suspect, Michael W. Jackson, 41, of Indianapolis, in Wright City and the surrounding countryside of eastern Missouri.
Highway Patrol Capt. John Ford said there had been few leads in the search. He said, however, that authorities suspected Jackson still
was in the area because there had not been any reports of stolen vehicles
Police, meanwhile, announced that a man thought to have died of head injuries in a traffic accident along Interstate 70 Monday night near St. Peters had actually been shot to death.
investigators said Earl D. Finn, 47, of O'Fallon, had first been as having suffered massive head injuries when his car crashed into a light pole about 20 miles east of Wright City at 6:48 p.m. Monday. Autopsy showed he had suffered fatal wounds from a shotgun blast to the head, said Lt. Mark Grimmer of the St. Peters Police Department.
Grimmer said the shot entered
through the driver's window of Finn's car. He said investigators speculated that Finn was shot because his silver Ford LTD had been mistaken by the gunman for an unmarked police car. Another theory, Grimmer said, was that Finn had refused to allow his car to be commanded.
Grimmer also pointed out that based on the sequence of other events, Jackson would have been in the St. Peters area at the time Finn was killed.
As police were investigating the death, some residents of this community of 1.200 people heeded warnings to stay home.
"I'll guarantee you I had all the
doors locked, all the lights on and all the guns loaded," said Brenda Luecke, 38, a mother of two small children.
"It was a very tense night. It's also been very noisy for such a small, quiet town, with helicopters buzzing over you and police cars roaring by."
Authorities said Jackson, who has a history of mental illness and a lengthy criminal record, shot and killed a federal probation officer and a store clerk in Indianapolis early Monday. He later made his way across Indiana and Illinois and into eastern Missouri by seizing cars and trucks.
Police said he abducted six people along the way, robbed a woman in
Jackson was convicted in September 1985 on a federal charge of possessing illegal firearms and sentenced to one year in prison and three years' probation.
In a report at the Marion County Jail in Indiana, officials said Jackson had vowed that he was going to buy some guns and start shooting people when he got out of jail.
"He's got no regard for human life," said Roland Clemonds, 31, the wounded officer. "He shoots at will at anybody he wants to shoot at."
