Student struck by automobile after dispute
A KU student was hit by a car late Saturday night after he and a few of his friends had an altercation with the driver of the car, Lawrence police reported yesterday.
Jerry Sesto, Shawne junior, was struck by the driver of a late-model Buick in the 800 block of New Hampshire Street. He was treated on the scene by the Douglas County Ambulance service.
Police said witnesses were able to get the license number and the driver was identified. The case has been referred to District Attorney Jim Flory's office, which has not made a decision about the case.
According to the police report, Sesto and several of his friends were walking a female friend to the Bajek hotel driver of the Bajek vault at them.
Sesto and the driver exchanged words and later began to fight. The driver had returned to the car in an attempt to get away when Sesto moved in front of the car, the report stated.

KU police arrested Smith at his Jayhawker Towers apartment about 7:30 p.m. He was taken to the Douglas County jail and booked. He was released later that night on $750 bond.
Court at 4 p.m. Monday.
Smith will make his first appearance in the Douglas County District
Smith, Houston sophomore, had been charged May 15 after MCI and U.S. Sprint investigators surrendered their evidence for prosecution, District Attorney Jim Flory said.
Flory said he decided to wait for Smith to return instead of starting extradition proceedings. Flory had requested a warrant for Smith's arrest several weeks ago, but the warrant had been delayed.
Football coach Bob Valesente said yesterday that Smith had been sidelined because of a knee injury he suffered in Saturday's game against Kent State. But Valesente would not comment on Smith's arrest.
"Until I hear anything official, I have no comment." Valente said.
have no comment, Valerie said
Doug Vance, director of sports
information, said Smith was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Smith could face up to a $2,500 fine and up to one year in the county jail if convicted of the Class A felony.
MCI investigator Jerry Slaughter in Dallas said yesterday that Smith's
arrest was only the beginning of a follow-up to the company's phone code abuse investigation which was last spring.
Slaughter said investigators had identified additional KU students, including some athletes in Jayhawk Towers who had made illegal calls. Only Smith and one Lawrence resident have been charged.
People who abused phone codes and do not come forward can be put into a class-action suit because the statute of limitations has not run out,
Slaughter said.
A class-action suit is a suit filed against several persons, each of whom can be made to pay the total value of the damages claimed, Slaughter said.
"We recently filed 21 civil suits against students at North Texas State. It was the first university we went to in our investigation last year, and you can bet soon to follow are all the other colleges we investigated," Slaughter said.
Panel lets dance group keep status
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
Staff writer
The Student Senate Finance Committee, in a special meeting last night, considered revoking the University Dance Company's revenue code status for alleged mis management of the company's budget, but voted instead to send a bill to the Student Senate that would require the company to submit monthly budget reports.
The bill passed nine to four and should come before the Senate during its next regular meeting Oct. 7.
The University Dance Company failed to pay $595.12 in bills from fall 1986 and spring 1987, said Spencer Colvin. Senate administrative assistant and former Senate treasurer. In June, Senate paid the bills for the dance company.
Colvin also questioned the authorization of Senate vouchers by the company to make purchases off-campus. The vouchers give advance approval only to non-revenue code groups for off-campus purchases.
Student organizations can be placed on revenue code status if the Senate determines they have the ability to manage their own budgets. Groups with revenue code status receive a discount every two years, unlike the majority of organizations that request money every year.
Colvin and Matt Kerr, Senate treasurer, originally recommended the finance committee revoke the dance company's revenue code status; but he insisted their minds after hearing testimony from舞公司 officials.
Janet Hamburg, professor of dance and faculty adviser to the dance company, said errors had been made, but the company and the dance department had taken steps to ensure that the same errors would not occur again.
She said the dance company elected Katie Lynch, Lenexa freshman, as the new business manager, and she would be supervised by the executive secretary and bookkeeper. Also, all financial transactions would be reviewed by the chairman of the department of music and dance.

Autopsy reveals evidence Blunt object caused death
By a Kansan reporter
A Wichita forensic pathologist determined that trauma caused by a blunt instrument was responsible for the death of Judy Kemp, a 32-year-old Lawrence woman whose body was found Sept. 9.
District Attorney Jim Flory said the finding was part of the additional evidence that prompted him to request the higher charge.
District Attorney Jim Flory said the finding was part of the additional evidence that prompted him to request the higher charge of first-degree murder against the woman's husband, 40-year-old Carl L. Kemp.
Kemp was charged Sept. 11, two days after Lawrence police found his wife's body in a box in a shed near the trailer home. 101 Michigan hospital staff were present last week because of a six-day hospital stay for low blood pressure.
The pathologist, William Eckert, finished the two-hour examination on Thursday. But Douglas County Coroner Alan Sanders said the report of the examination was not complete and it is unclear whether he from a toxicology test by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Those results have not been released.
Sanders said he had requested the assistance of a forensic specialist after his initial examination.
"Jim Flory and I discussed it and we both thought that it would be a desirable thing to do," Sanders said.
The district attorney's office is in the process of trying to secure documentation.
A preliminary hearing for Carl Kemp set for Monday has been postponed until 9:30 a.m. Oct.14
Flory said he could give no information on whether the murder weapon had been recovered or where the woman had been struck.
Construction work at hall keeps students out of kitchens
Staff writer
By BEN JOHNSTON
Residents of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall say that since the beginning of the semester they have had to endure annoyances caused by construction work the housing office is doing.
And they are not sure the work has improved the hall. Many residents only see the inconvenience of not having a television and the interruptions by workers.
Phillip Monslow, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said yesterday that many of the 48 residents of the hall were pleased the work was being done, but sometimes they were bothered by the workers.
"I am glad they are trying to improve the hall," Monslow said. "But one time a worker came into someone's room at 8:30 or 9 in the morning, but didn't anything. Another time someone was taking a shower, and he had shampoo
all over his head when the water was shut off without any notice."
Carol Tersch, coordinator of planned hall improvements, said that last year all the students shared one sleeping area and one study area, but during the summer the hall was too crowded. She said each had a study area and a sleeping area. She said new stoves and sinks had also been added to the kitchen.
Monslow said the kitchen was not being used yet except by residents
"The biggest problem is when someone has a class at 10 or 11, and he has to go to another hall to eat breakfast." Monslow said.
who wanted to eat cold cereal for breakfast. The residents must go to other residence halls to eat, he said.
Von Tersch said the kitchen originally was scheduled to be completed Oct. 15, but during the summer the contractor said he could complete the work by Sept. 15, so that date was set as the goal. Von Tersch
said.
The kitchen will be open for all meals starting Monday, Von Tersch said.
Kevin Skiridlus, Gaithersburg, Md., junior, said he was not sure the new kitchen was an improvement over the old one.
The new sinks are smaller than the old ones. Monslow said.
