FBI holds man from Lawrence sought for rape
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A 59-year-old lawman accused of raping a 14-year-old mentally retarded boy in Topeka is being held in New Orleans for extradition, the FBI said yesterday.
Leonard M. Magruder was arrested Monday at a motel in Manville, across Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans, said a statement from John J. O'Conner of the New Orleans FBI office.
The statement released by FBI spokesman Cliff Anderson said Kansas authorities charged Magruder in a Sept. 16 warrant with aggravated sodomy and indebted behavior — both felonies in Kansas.
A federal warrant charging him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was sworn out Oct. 21, after a judge ordered him to Louisiana, the statement said.
Anderson said U.S. Magistrate Ronald Fonseca turned Magruder over to custody in New Orleans to await extradition.

Linkletter dedicates drug center

Art Linkletter — television pioneer, ardent campaigner against drug abuse and one of the few entertainers with his face on a $100,000 bill — was in Lawrence yesterday to dedicate the Charter Counseling Center.
The center, 3210 Mesa Way, is a branch of the Charter Hospital of Overland Park, which specializes in the treatment of chemical dependencies and a number of emotional and psychiatric problems.
About 40 people attended the dedication ceremonies where Linkletter signed autographs and distributed teddy bears to children.
"In the last 15 years these kinds of hospitals have been springing up all over the country because we need a better letter said during a press conference.
Art Linkletter, entertainer and campaigner against drug abuse, teases two-year-old Kira Barker with a teddy bear at the dedication of the Charter Counseling Center.
Campaigning against drug abuse has been Linketter's chief concern since 1969. In that year, his 19-year-old daughter, Diane, fell to her death from the sixth-floor balcony of her apartment in Brooklyn. He indicated that Diane had used LSD and other drugs and that her death may have been related to drugs.
"I determined that the best way for me to face up to this terrible tragedy was to do something about it," Linkletter said.
Linkletter said he was glad that first lady Nancy Reagan, had promiser war against drug use. However, he the campaign No" campaign was a bit simplistic.
"It'll say like saying. 'How do you get to the hall?' Well, you just go," he said.
Linkletter said he favored mandatory drug testing in occupations where people have control of some hazardous or very dangerous, such as a large vehicle.
Linkletter also favors random drug tests at high schools and universities. The possibility of being tested would not deter all young people from using drugs, but it would deter some; Linkletter said.
"My problem is to convince young

African dancers to perform
By BRAD ADDINGTON Staff writer
Mark Napoleano, the company's manager, said that this was the African troupe's 20th tour of the United States. He said the troupe would be performing in 30 cities including Anchorage, Alaska
The National Dance Company of Senegal, a 40-member troupe of dancers, singers and musicians, will be on hand 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
The company, founded in 1959 by Maurice Senghor, nephew of the president of Senegal, represents five of the ethnic groups in Senegal — the Wolof, Serere, Dola, Peils and Soce. Although the groups have cultural backgrounds, dancing is important to all the people of Senegal.
The company will perform seven dances that portray the ancient rituals and legends of Senegal. The dances range from a solo ballet to several numbers featuring the entire dance company.
The women are topless in some of the dances.
Jackie Davis, director of the KU Concert Series, which is presenting the performance, said she booked the group after seeing a similar African dance company at the 1984 Olympics Arts Festival in California.
All seats are reserved, and tickets are available at the Murphy Hall box office. Reservations can be made by calling 864-3892. Any tickets remaining tonight can be bought at the Hochstettern box office starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets cost $7 and $6 for KU students and students grades k-12. KU for senior citizens and other students and $14 and $12 for the public.
KU students' cars are prime targets for thieves
Staff writer
By JAVAN OWENS
But students should be wary of including costly options on their cars, making them prime targets for theft, police say.
Americans have turned optional features, such as AM-FM radio/cassette players and radar detectors, into necessities for their cars.
You have to stop and consider where is the market. We probably have the largest group of 18- to 21-year-olds in just about all the state of Kansas.
Optional features displayed in car can encourage thieves, police say
— Sgt. Don Dalquest Lawrence police
By JAVAN OWENS
Lawrence police spokesman Mike Hall reported recently that an average of 21.4 cars are broken into each week, excluding cars on campus.
Staff writer
The best way for students to keep from becoming victims of theft from auto is to not include any optional features in their cars.
"The numbers of thefts from autos are no higher here than in other Big Apple countries."
Hall said it was difficult to make judgments about trends and patterns in crime on campus. But Lawrence police Stg. Don Dalquest said that
"You're assuming an extra risk by installing these items," Sgt. John Brothers of the KU police said recently.
KU police said students reported $10,651 worth of property stolen from 33 cars on campus during the first half of 1987.
Brothers defined theft from autos as illegally entering a car and removing items. This is not to be confused with auto theft, which is the theft of a car or of items from the exterior of a car. Auto theft is not as serious a problem as theft from cars, he said.
The first step in trying to make a car safe is to buy detachable accessories that can be removed after leaving their car.
"Even in-dash items are at risk," Brothers said. "An item in a car is not as safe as something in your home, but an in-dash item may serve as a deterrent for someone."
Lock the car, he said. This is a simple step that many people forget. A locked door may make it harder to escape. If the thief enters a car or misses it
Sgt. Don Dalquest of the Lawrence police said that displaying articles in the window of the car made them a priеh risk for theft. Detatching property and putting it under a seat may help prevent theft.
"Big speakers in the back window is a good indication you have a good stereo in your ar." Dalquest said. "Sure you want to brace about
your nice equipment, but that kind of advertisement is not what you want."
Also, car alarms also can prevent theft. But, Brothers said, the alarms usually are expensive and hard to reset. When your car owners forget to reset them
Dalquest said owners should keep a record of the serial numbers of the items, and engrave the numbers on the items. If the items are stolen, the owner should give the numbers to the police. Dalquest said that the numbers would be entered on a listing with the numbers of the person responsible to a law enforcement agency anywhere in the country, the chances of them being returned to the owner is greater.
when students returned to Lawrence, the number of thefts from autos increased dramatically.
"You have to stop and consider where is the market," Dalquest said. "We have probably have the largest group of 18- to 21-year-olds in just about all the state of Kansas. Whatever is in fad or fashion at the time is in this town in one centrally located area, whether it be clothes or car
stereos."
Dalquest said that because of the concentration of valuables and the large number of transients in finance, valuables were taken easier.
“This is the ideal place for the burglar to get hot items in.” Dalquest said. “What other town could you go? What other items in a concentrated area?”
In 1984, there were 87 thefts from autos reported. There were 103 in 1985, 102 in 1986 and in the first half of this year, 33.
Recovery of stolen items is rare and only two of the of the 30 thefts that were reported in the first half of the year resulted in an arrest.
Sgt. John Brothers of KU Police said that it was possible students preyed off one another but that the
In 1984 the lots with the most thefts were at Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin, Joseph R. Pearson, Oliver and Jayhawker Towers. In 1985, JRP and Stouffer Place lots were hit the most. But in 1986, the Daisy Hill extension and Lewis parking lots were hit most.
One pattern in theft from cars that police are certain about is that the number of thefts decreases in the winter.
Brothers said, "Crime goes down with the temperature."
Another problem that crime analysts have is trying to predict where the crime is most likely to occur, Brothers said. For example, there were seven thefts from cars in the Jayhawker Towers apartments lot in the first quarter, but none in the second quarter. Likewise, there were four thefts from the Lewis Hall lot in the first quarter but none in the second quarter.
Lawrence police would not reveal higher-crime areas in the city because those areas could be hit again.
Most likely, car owners do not lose just the value of what is stolen. Theft from autos usually is accompanied by costly damage to the car itself.
francis
"It's hard to define this sort of crime." Brothers said. "To steal from a car is too much work."
What makes the crime more difficult to understand is that the resale value of the stolen items is so little, he said.
