Firefighters investigating barracks fire
A fire that destroyed a vacated prisoner-of-war barracks late Sunday night in woods near 11th Street and Haskell Avenue is being investigated as a suspicious fire, Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSwain said yesterday.
McSwan said that investigators had not found a cause for the fire, although they had found evidence of gas leakage and suspicious about the blaze, he said.
McSwain said, however, that firefighters did not find any human remains on the scene. On the night of the blaze, firefighters interviewed two boys who said that they had heard an explosion and screams come from that location.
A 21-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday afternoon in connection with a robbery that occurred Oct. 5 at Stop 2 Shop, 1010 N. 3rd St., Lawrence police reported

Court to try Kemp in first-degree murder
By JAVAN OWENS
District Attorney Jim Flory produced enough evidence to try Carl L. Kemp for first-degree murder of his wife, Judy Kemp, Judge Ralph King ruled yesterday in a preliminary hearing.
Staff writer
King set formal armraignment for Kemp at a.m. Oct. 28 in Division of the Douglas County District Court. Kemp was detained at the jail.
The case had been delayed because Flory had amended the charge from second-degree to first-degree murder about three weeks ago, which was conducted about three weeks ago.
According to Lawrence police, Kemp called police Sept. 10 to ask about burial plans for his wife. He was arrested on Sept. 18 as a suspect in his wife's death. Police found Judy Kemp's body in a box in a shed that
was adjacent to their trailer home at 101 Michigan St.
Kemp's lawyer, Carl Fleming, also had filed motions to suppress evidence in the case.
Yesterday afternoon, however,
Flory brought about 15 witnesses to
the stand to substantiate his case
against Kemp.
Testimony came from Wichita forensic pathologist William Eckert, who performed the autopsy on Judy Kemp, and friends of the family, who
Eckert testified that the cause of Judy Kemp's death was blunt trauma to the head.
told the court there was a series of domestic problems between Judy and Carl Kemn.
He said that because head injuries usually did not kill instantly, it was possible that Judy Kemp was alive and her hostain placed her in the box.
Fleming said Eckert's testimony did not produce a weapon, which was essential to connect the suspect with the murder.
Eckert replied that the blunt trauma to the body did not have to be done with a weapon. The bruises on
Kemp's body appeared to be footprints and fist marks, he said.
"The dark spots that I observed on her body almost are consistent with footprints, kind of a stamping effect," Eckert said.
Flory then called on two friends of the Kemp family who said that Kemp had threatened to kill Judy Kemp before her death. One friend, Virgil Holding, 139 Perry St., said he had seen Kemp beat his wife on one occasion a few weeks before her body was found.
Other witnesses were the police who interviewed Kemp and the funeral director who had spoken with Kemp about the burial plans.
Before the preliminary hearing could begin, the court had to deal with numerous motions Fleming had made.
Fleming had moved on Monday to close the preliminary hearing to the public. He said because of the nature of the case, it would not be in his man's best interest to have the press and potential jurors prejudiced.
"Aspects of this case are bizarre, and that caused a lot of publicity in the newspapers and television." Fleming said. "Potential jurors may form an opinion about these sensual aspects." *

By a Kansan reporter
A Lawrence man was in serious condition yesterday after a four-car accident near 19th and Iowa streets. The driver also was injured in the accident.
raul Sinclair, 3000 Sage Brush Drive, rear-ended a line of cars in the northbound curb lane of Iowa Street, Lawrence police reported.

According to police, the accident occurred at 4:15 p.m. yesterday when Sinclair approached the intersection and apparently didn't see a line of cars stopped at a red light.

Krakow refuses to sign KU Bands bill
By BRAD ADDINGTON
Staff writer
Although the Student Senate approved a bill last week that allocated $1,500 to KU Bands for Tuesday's "Connoisseur Concert." KU Bands will receive no Senate financing for the event.
That's because Jason Krakow, student body president, refused to sign the bill, which makes it useless until Saturday and prevents the Senate from financing the concert. Senate regulations prohibit the Senate from reimbursing an organization for an event.
KU Bands is a Senate revenue code status group, which means that the Senate allocates money to the group every two years.
Krakow said that revenue code groups should only request money once every two years and not seek supplemental financing. For this reason, he said that he wouldn't sign the KU Bands bill.
"The Student Senate can't be in the position to bail out academic departments that are suffering." Krakow said. "That's not what I see as the purpose of the student activity fee money."
Included in the fees of all KU students is the following which budget.i.composes:
Robert Foster, director of KU Bands, said yesterday that this was the first time in his 17 years as director that KU Bands had requested supplemental financing from the Senate.
Foster said that KU Bands had requested a $10,000 block allocation last spring as part of its revenue code budget. However, last year's Senate Finance Committee did not grant the request, which would have gone toward honorariums like the one specified in last week's bill.
Any group that sought money for honorariums last spring was asked to wait and make supplemental financing requests this fall. Tempin said
Roger Templin, Senate Executive Committee chairman, said yesterday that because of financial constraints, it was the policy of last year's Senate Finance Committee not to finance honorariums of any group.
"They understood that the money was not guaranteed." Templin said.
was not guaranteed, "tempermum sain": KU Bands has had honorariums to make debt repayments as part of revenue code budget for the past 15 years. Foster said
Krakaw said that he would not veto the bill. By not signing it, its enactment is only delayed. If the student body president doesn't sign or vote a piece of legislation within 10 days after it is passed by the Senate, Senate rules state that the bill will be enacted.
By not vetting the bill, Krakow said that he was allowing Senate financing of future concert honoraria for the artists who are mentioned in the bill.
Krakow said that KU Bands presented the bill to the Senate less than a week before Tuesday's concert.
Student wins $5,000 from Missouri lottery
By a Kansan reporter
When they stopped for gas at the Blue Ridge Amoco station in Kansas City, Mo., Manacek went into the lobby and said he loved the pop and a Missouri lottery ticket.
Pat Manacek, St. Louis sophomore, was traveling last week to his hometown with another KU student and her father.
A Missouri lottery ticket purchased Oct. 8 "just for the hell of it" turned into an unexpected $5,000 windfall for a University of Kansas student.
The instant-win ticket was worth $5,000.
"I didn't believe it at first," Manacek said. "I was like, 'This can't be right.'"
Manacee remained calm, though,
as he and his traveling companions
returned to the station. Not everyone
else handled it as well, he said.
"I showed it to the guy who was driving me home, and he had more of a chance," she said.
called my parents from the gas station and they pretty much wigged up. My mom got right on the phone, so by the time I got home, pretty much my whole family and half the neighborhood knew."
Manacek, who described himself as an occasional player of the lottery, said that the money was expected to arrive in seven to 10 days.
He said that he offered most of it to his parents, but that they refused.
Manacek said that he would invest in a nice stereo and custom work on two guitars he owns. He said the rest of the money would probably go into the bank.
Friends have offered consumer advice since he won the money, Manacek said. And he hasn't forgot them.
He has since quit his job as a security monitor at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, where he worked the 4 to 8 a.m. shift.
"A few bites that people owed me," he said. "I just let go."
Student to ask for permission to sell condoms in Oliver Hall
KU student Pat Warren said he thought that AIDS could be conquered if people used condoms. So he wants to begin selling them to the residents of Oliver Hall.
"The idea is to stop the spread of the disease." Warren said. "This is not a joke. It is not something we are doing to discredit the University."
Warren, Overland Park freshman,
said he presented the idea to about
half the residents of the third floor of
Oliver Hall at a floor meeting several
days ago. All of the residents
sent voted to support the idea, Warre-
n said.
But before he can begin selling condoms,he also must get approval from the Office of Residential Programs.
To get the approval, Warren said he planned to hire a new director of ORP. Mr.

"People pretty much have to admit something goes on in the residence halls, and condoms are the best prevention." Warren said.
"The written proposal will tell where money is spent, and how much will be spent," he said. "They may amend it or kill it entirely."
Warren said that if ORP approved the proposal, he would buy condoms with floor government funds, and sell residents from an unoccupied room.
Students could either come to the room to purchase the condoms or

order them over the telephone and have them delivered by a worker, Warren said.
Profits from the sales would go back into floor government funds, and the floor residents couldVolunteer to sell the condoms. Warren said.
resident assistant, Shaun Cheah, and possibly other members of the floor government will speak to Morrow, Warren said, adding that he would present a written proposal.
Sheau Cheah, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, junior and resident assistant of the third floor at Oliver, said he was interested in the idea was proposed on his floor.
"It was just an idea," Cheah said.
"We didn't have anything to back it up vet."
Chesah said that he supported the idea and that he probably would go with Warren when he presented the proposal to Morrow.
"Students and residents assistants bring up a lot of ideas," Cheaad said. "But some get shot down. It's all up to ORP."
Morrow said that Cheah mentioned the idea to her several weeks ago.
