Medieval armies stage battle
By BRIAN BARESCH Staff writer
Two armies of soldiers in medieval armor, swinging ferocious-looking rattan swords and defending themselves with large metal shields, invaded Clinton Park on Saturday and engaged in a vicious mule, hacking and bashing each other.
Staff writer
Off to one side, three neighborhood youngsters sat watching with glee.
youngsters sat watching wig gife. "They said we could try on those hats, but I didn't wear them through" said Tammy Sidlington, 9, eying the helmets while watching the carriage with the enthusiasm of a pro wrestler gift.
Nearby in the park's pavilion, artists and tradesmen in long, flowing medieval garb displayed and traded their wares. A blacksmith worked on an iron chandelier.
The occasion was the annual Mad Dogs and Englishmen Festival of the Society for Creative Anachronism. The gathering featured a warriors tournament and a siege of the park's castle-like battlements.

Tammy, watching with her brother, Gary, 12, and her sister, Melissa, 7, said the three of them often visited Clinton Park from their house nearby. Saturday's combat had their undivided attention.
The society was formed in Berkeley, Calif., in 1966 when some students interested in Middle Ages history staged a gladiator tournament in a backyard. Since then, membership has grown to about 20,000 worldwide, said Alyson Burnett of Lawrence, who organized Saturday's event.
The society calls Lawrence the
Shire of Carlsby, which is part of the Kingdom of Calontir, which comprises Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and part of Arkansas. Lawrence has about 30 society members. Burnett said.
Over by the rope-off combat ring, Mike New, Lenexa freshman, through with combat for the moment, shucked his helmet and gauntlets and took a breather. His turn in the gladiator tournament would begin soon.
New and his roommate at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, Kevin Patterson, Lenexa freshman, joined the society last year, but they say they have always been interested in fantasy books, which frequently involve medieval mythology.
"It's turned into a real neat hobby." New said. "You get a chance to meet a lot of people from all over the country."
New later took part in the 25-gladiator melee, which finished the tournament, but he was in the front line with other nexieperined swordmen and was "killed" quickly.
Combatants were eliminated when hit by a blow that would have killed or disabled them if a real weapon had been used.
Away from the fighting but drifting over occasionally to watch, Bob Mize of Overland Park displayed in the pavilion leather drinking vessels like those used between the 13th and 19th centuries.
He said that he has been making them for six years, and they are authentic except for the lining, for which he uses modern brewer's pitch

The Society for Creative Anachronism uses the books to help members re-enact medieval times as authentically as possible. Below, medieval soldiers take to the field for a battle to the finish. The mock fighting was part of a tournament sponsored by the society Saturday in Clinton Park.
Student hurt at party at Union
A fight at the Kansas Union early Saturday morning resulted in two broken windows and a KU student receiving a cut hand that required 20 stitches, KU police reported.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker, KU police spokesman, said yesterday that police did not know the cause of the fight, which broke out at 12:30 a.m. at a party in the Union sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, 1014 Mississippi St.
Jenkins said he was not aware he had been cut until another fraternity member told him, so he did not know exactly how he had been cut.
By a Kansan reporter
Darren James, St. Louis junior and Alpha Phi Alpha member, said, "We were trying to escort a guy out of the party, and it got out of hand."
Longaker said about 15 people participated in the fighting inside the Union. As KU police were dispersing about 300 people who attended the party, approximately 30 people began fighting outside.
While dispersing the crowd, KU police also heard three or four gunshots that seemed to come from the 1200 block of Oread Avenue. Although police found a gun in a parking lot across from the Union, it had not recently been fired, Longaker said.
Brown calls bank ads one-shot
James Jenkins, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore and Alpha Phi Alpha member, was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for the cut to his hand.
A main level entrance door window and a sixth-story window were broken.

Don't expect Larry Brown to promote racy motor scooters or your favorite brand of beer during half-time of a football game.
The recent ad in which Brown, KU basketball coach, endorsed a Lawrence bank was a one-time decision, he said last week.
"I've always thought it was more important to concentrate on coaching." Brown said.
The ad shows Brown smiling and holding a camera with the logo of Lawrence National Bank, 647 Massachusetts St. Part of the ad reads, "I will help Larry Brown puts the focus on her excellence with a free .35pm camera."
Although Brown endorses nonprofit organizations such as the Special Olympics and the American Cancer Society, he said he always had been reluctant to endorse commercial products and enterprises.
Terry Sutcliffe, bank president, said, "We were looking for an identity at the University. Larry banks with us and is a very good customer."
So how did Brown end up getting paid to endorse Lawrence National Bank?
Brown said, "I think I'm a good customer. It's not something that's good."
Vickie Thomas, University general counsel, said KU did not prohibit its employees from endorsing commercial products, as long as they did not say or imply that KU was endorsing the product.
Neither Sutcliffe nor Brown would disclose how much money Brown earned from the ad.
Rick Evrard, director of legislative services at the NCAA in Overland Park, said no NCAA policy existed that prohibited Brown from making commercial endorsements. But the NCAA requires coaches to make an annual report of all athletically related income from outside sources to the chancellor.
The ad did not feature a KU logo or
say KU endorsed the bank.
Brown said that although he usually didn't endorse commercial ventures, it was common for college coaches to accept or to solicit such offers.
He compared a coach who earned money from endorsements to a professor who earned money from writing books and giving lectures. He said he thought it was an appropriate way for coaches to earn money, even after CAA prohibits college athletes from making commercial endorsements.
"Coaches get paid," Brown said. "It's a job. Players aren't allowed to work at all during the school year. Does that mean I can't work?"
Bob Frederick, athletic director,
said that what Brown did in his own
time was not the business of his
department. He said the department's only concern was whether the ad was in good taste and whether it featured the KU logo.
Brown said he received several compliments about the ad.
Kendra Langhans, Columbia, Ill., freshman, said that she thought the ad was in good taste and that if she didn't already have a bank account, did they have been persuaded to open an account at Lawrence National Bank.
But some students disagreed.
Jennifer Neusel, St. Louis freshman, said, "It has nothing to do with basketball."
