Fans cheer favorites in series
Bar atmosphere draws students
By KIRK ADAMS Staff writer
Sipping beer while munching peanuts, fans at the Kansas Sports Bar and Grill, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, sat in front of two televisions last night to cheer their favorite teams in the series' fourth game. The Cardinals won 7-2.
Lawrence bars are tuning in their big screen televisions for rival fans this week as the St. Louis Cardinals and the Minnesota Twins go to the field in the 1987 World Series.
I don't know if the Cardinals can beat Minnesota in Minnesota that's the trick.Very few teams have done that this year.'

In one play a Twins outfielder caught a line drive near the ground and the batter was called out.
"Naw, he took it off the turf," someone velled.
Brian Duffy and Tim Kneidel,
Wichita seniors, both said they liked
to watch sports in bars - especially
bars with peanuts.
"It's the only way to watch a game." Kneidel said.
Duff recently returned from St. Louis where he tried to see the Cardinals play San Francisco at Busch Stadium, but he couldn't get a

Cardinals. Kneidel said he thought that if the Cardinals won last night's game they would win the series.

"There's always somebody on the other side causing problems."
The two said they had seen two of the series games at the bar earlier this week.
Julie Hayes, Austin, Texas, senior, a waitress at the bar, said that during last week's playoffs the bar was so crowded there was no room to walk.
Bar manager Jerry Neverve said he thought interest in the series might have decreased after the Cardinals lost the first two games.
The Cardinals, however, had other things to say last night — namely, hits. And fans met each hit with cheers.
Julie Greenberg, a Lawrence resident, said she enjoyed watching baseball at Louise's.
Louise's Bar, 1009 Massachusetts St., also had a crowd. Steven Scott, manager of Louise's, said even more people were there during the play.
"Sit around, drink beer and get rowdy, and not have your neighbors knock on your door and say "Shut-up. That's what I like about it." she said.
Greenberg said she didn't really care who won — she just liked a close game. She said she had seen two games in the series at Louise's.
Twins fans were around, too, but not as many.

Mills said he liked watching base-

Coping with AIDS discussed
Symposium cites victims' troubles
By AMBER STENGER Staff writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Virginia Allen's father-in-law was widowed for two years and then had one sexual experience, from which he contracted AIDS. He died of AIDS at the age of 73.
The belief that people with AIDS deserve their disease frustrates John, a man from the Kansas City area with AIDS-related complex who also spoke at the symposium. He denied because he feared losing his job.
"One nurse said to him, 'This is one of my favorite parts of my job — to change the IV bags of someone who deserves it.'" Allen said.
Allen, executive director of the Good Samaritan Project in Kansas City, Mo., spoke yesterday at the 23rd annual postgraduate symposium at the University. The Gathering Storm," at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Allen described the poor treatment her father-in-law had received while in the hospital.
"I don't deserve this disease," he said. "I may have done something to get this disease, but I don't deserve it. There is a vast difference."
Allen said she was angry at several groups of people, including some health care professionals.
"People with AIDS are asking to be treated like people." Allen said.
Serving and coping with AIDS patients was one of the themes of the symposium that took place Tuesday and yesterday. More than 19 persons, including medical professionals, an emergency room nurse, clergy and directors of service organizations, spoke to an audience of about 450 health care professionals
Proposal to arm ISU campus police stirs controversy
See AIDS, p. 6, col. 4

Students have come to recognize guns as a legitimate part of an officer's appearance, along with the badge and uniform, KU police director James Denney said recently.
KU is one of seven Big Eight universities where guns have been a part of law enforcement officers' equipment for some time.
But at Iowa State University in Ames, where university security has taken on more police roles in the last few months, guns have become a dirty word for some. A proposal there to let police be armed has led to several heated meetings between police, university officials and students.
The controversy began when chief Joseph Wehner requested that his police be armed, after becoming the new chief of police in
April. He said his officers were performing many of the duties of police officers without proper equipment.
"We don't have the luxury in our country to perform proper law enforcement without the proper equipment," Wehner said. "We have to protect the officers who are protecting
The city of Ames now handles many of the ten enforcement duties on campus without any jail.
The Iowa Legislature delegated the authority to grant Wehner's request to the Iowa Board of Regents. Although the Regents have not made a decision yet, Iowa State chapter officials of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees have said they would take the request to arbitration if the Regents did not grant it.
But some in the Iowa State community do not see why police need to carry guns.
"Shouldn't Welner be working to keep this campus safe enough that the officers need
Julianne Marley, Iowa State student body president, has opposed the proposal in the student newspaper and in public appearances. She wrote in an editorial in the Iowa State Daily that the police department was trying to use the gun request to legitimize its increasing law enforcement efforts on campus.
"We are, in fact, one of few schools to have unarmed security officers," Marley wrote. "To me that is not a point on which to defend the United States," he added, a point of which Iowa State should be proud.
James Denney said that many campus
police departments had evolved into sophisticated agencies that needed armed officers
"If you are not going to do true law enforcement, you don't need guns," Denney said. "the police department must be dedicated to law enforcement, not dabbling in it."
Denney said the concern about guns stemmed from citizens not understanding the role of the police, a problem not unique to Iowa State. That was because the duties of campus law enforcement agencies have just begun to be defined in the last decade.
"The evolution of campus law enforcement across the country was about the same." Denney said. At one time, professors solely would be responsible for disciplining students, but that is not the case any more, he said.
Wehner said that all Big Eight and Big Ten schools except Iowa State and the University of Michigan had law enforcement departments. He added that the police's police status, but its police do not carry guns.
Although some efforts were made to disarm security officers in the late 1960s, KU police have worn guns on campus ever since a part-time sheriff came to the campus to control parking problems in 1927, Denney said.
Those facts reflect the need for police departments at major universities, Wehner
Denney said the growth in campus size and population and increasing crime rates had increased the need for trained officers. He said an increased crime rate at Iowa State as reported by the FBI Uniform Crime Report suggested a need may be there.
Hispanic conference stresses education
Bv VIRGINIA McGRATH

Study hard, do your best and don't forget where you came from, a Kansas City, Kan., city councilman told a group of young Hispanic students.
Richard Ruiz, the councilman, spoke to more than 500 students as part of the second annual Hispanic Symposium in the Kansas Union.
The symposium featured Hispanic leaders from across the country who delivered speeches and led work on educational education. "The Door To The Future."
The symposium served its purpose for Ulysses high school senior Adela Salinas. She said that she had received little information or encouragement at home about college. But the symposium sparked her interest.
"I wasn't sure about the idea of go to college," she said. "And was afraid about the money. But see everyone having fun, and it helps to have the information about applications and financial aid."
Connie Degollado, another Ulysses high school senior, agreed. "It shows us that you can do something more than just graduate from high school like everybody else at home does," she said.
The speakers gave her confidence, she said.
Sean Snyder, a high school senior from Blue Springs, Mo., attended a workshop about financial aid.
"Hearing about the financial aid made (college) seem somewhat possible." he said.
KU student Elizabeth Mendez, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said that it was crucial for young Hispanics to find someone to identify with.
Philip Garcia, a United Press International reporter in Washington, D.C., who graduated from KU, said that in the past, young Hispanics didn't have enough successful role models.
"Hispanic tend not to be motivated by their parents, because the parents themselves weren't motivated," she said. "This gives them an opportunity to view the ideal of what can happen if you work hard."
Mendez is a member of KU's Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, which helped sponsor the symposium
"But as we grow older, more and more of us are becoming professionals and achieving a certain level of success and coming back and presenting ourselves as role models," he said.
Ruiz agreed that times had changed. He grew up in a railroad community in the Argentine district of Kansas City, Kan. It was the
"My generation was the first to come to college," Garcia said. "And we're beginning to see Hispanic students into the system in greater numbers."

Stock markets are in business again
The Associated Press
The Dow Jones industrial average,
climbing halfway back from Monday's historic 508-point collapse, rose
186.4 points to 2,027.8. The index had risen a record 102.2 points Tuesday.
NEW YORK — Investors flocked back to the world's stock markets yesterday, shaking off a trillion-dollar panic and sending indexes to record gains in New York, London and Tokyo.
A partial recovery in New York on Tuesday contributed to record point gains yesterday in indexes the Tokyo and London stock exchanges. The improved attitude carried over into trading in the United States.
Reagan said yesterday that he had not given up on his opposition to higher tax rates.
The Dow industrials' plunge Monday wiped out 22.6 percent of the index's value — a bigger one-day crash in the stock market crash of 1929.
Analysts speculated that investors may have been pleased by world leaders' response to the market's panic, which erased more than $500 billion from the value of U.S. stocks in 2018, surpassing a trillion from world stocks in 24 hours.
West Germany took a small step this week to hold down its interest rates, and President Ronald Reagan and leaders of Congress recommitted themselves to whitening away the federal budget deficit.
Nevertheless, economists said that there was no important news event to account for either the plunge or the partial recovery.
"What happened in the market was a classic case of a financial panic," said Shafiq Islam, a senior fellow on Foreign Relations in New York.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones by a 8-10-margin on the New York Stock Exchange in very heavy trading. That contrasted with earlier, when the Dow industrials gained, but losses outnumbered gains to 5-2.
Stocks also gained on the American Stock Exchange and in the over-the-counter market, reversing sharp losses both Monday and Tuesday.
"Today it's a much broader rally. You're getting buying from all of the country and the world," said Peter Schrager, executive director for Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc.
Some of the money flowing into stocks probably had been in limbo after having been yanked out of the market in the preceding days, DaPuzzo said. It takes five days to settle a transaction, he said.
Trading volume was 449.33 million shares, higher than any day except Monday and Tuesday, when daily volume surpassed 600 million shares.
The value of all U.S. stocks, which fell $30 billion Monday, gained $60 billion Tuesday and another $183 billion yesterday.
