School's work gets attention for excellence
The School of Social Welfare will be recognized in September for excellence in clinical training by the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill.
Charles Rapp, associate dean of social welfare, will receive the award at the alliance's national convention Sept. 17 in Washington, D.C. The alliance is an advocacy organization mostly composed of family members of the chronically mentally ill.
For the last five years, Rapp and his staff of doctoral students have developed training programs to help mental health professionals and social work students work with the mentally ill. Rapp said it was unusual for student-developed programs, such as KU's, to gain national attention.
Case management training, which is training people to work individually with the mentally ill, is one of the school's strengths, Rapp said. About 350 professionals in Kansas, Iowa, Alaska, Kentucky and New Mexico participated in KU's case management training workshops this year.
Citizens' meetings scheduled for today
The Historic Preservation Ordinance Committee will meet for the first time at 3:30 p.m. today in the city commission chambers at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets. The committee will be researching and preparing an ordinance to protect historical buildings in Lawrence.
A public information meeting about the project to widen West Sixth Street will take place at 7 p.m. today in the city commission chambers.
The Downtown Improvement Committee will meet at 7:30 p.m. today at the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Vermont streets, to hear public comment on downtown development ideas.
Group to present Iran-contra video
The Latin American Solidarity Organization of Lawrence will present a video, "The Secret Team Behind Iran-Contragate," at 6 p.m. today at the Eucalemic Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
The video is of a speech in February by lawyer Daniel Sheehan of the Christic Institute. Sheehan discusses the Christic Institute's findings in the Iran-contra affair. He also discusses a lawsuit filed in May 1986 on behalf of two U.S. journalists and how the case led to the institute's discovery of more than 25 years of alleged U.S. covert affairs.

together. Glatter, a third-year law student, encouraged the Senate to continue lobbying the Kansas Legislature, increase communication with faculty and students and organize a cultural extravaganza for this spring.
Glatter will stay on as an adviser to the Senate's Sports Cuncil and also will hold her student seat on the Kansas University Athletic Corporation Board.
Most of the discussion for the rest of the 35-minute meeting concerned plans for the

Senate's annual leadership training seminar, which will be in Topeka this weekend.
Krakow said that he was trying to get a Democrat from the House to speak at the seminar and that Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, planned to attend.
The student senators will attend a seminar in the Capitol building. They will stay at the downtown Ramada Inn and will provide their own transportation.
Krakow said the seminar should cost no more than $1,500 and would be paid for out of the Senate's internal budget. The Senate receives money from the student activity fee, which is part of tuition fees.
Student took act on the road
By VIRGINIA McGRATH
Keith Bland spent his summer traveling on buses that broke down as often as not, sleeping on high school gymnasium floors, wearing a uniform and playing lead baritone for the Sky Ryders, a drum and bugle corps from Hutchinson.
Bland, Prairie Village junior, went through a series of auditions to be chosen for the Sky Ryders, which competes with other corps under the sponsorship of Drum Corp International. Sarah Samson, Marshall, Mo., sophomore also was in the corps.
Bland went to Hutchinson in June to practice with the rest of the corps. After several weeks, they went on the road to perform in competitions with other drum and bugle corps.
The Sky Ryders performed for 11½ minutes every night, five times a week. They performed in cities across the United States, usually with four or five other corps, Bland said.
The Sky Ryders' theme this summer was "West Side Story".
"It was an innovative show," Bland said. "We were very expressive and tried to tell a story on the field. Some judges liked that, and some didn't."
Bland said each corps had its own distinctive
sound, while others concentrated on style and finesse," he said. "We used a lot of visuals and gestures in our performance."
Each corps performed for an audience and a panel of six to nine judges. The Sky Ryders placed 12th out of a field of more than 400 in the final competition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison this month.
"Some corps liked to be loud and have a lot of
In addition, Bland placed sixth out of 50 in the solo competition.
He said performing in a drum and bugle corp took a lot of dedication. There were always problems with the bus and with the logistics of the tour.
"But as long as we got to perform, it was okay," he said.
Bland is a member of the KU Marching Band and serves as its vice president. He also is vice president of Kappa Kappa Psi, an honorary band fraternity, and is a student senator representing the school of fine arts.
Three other KU students spent their summers playing music for Mickey Mouse. Phil Thomas, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and Susan Knox, Shawnee senior, were in the 43-member All-American College Orchestra at Walt Disney World in Florida. Carl Johnson, Leavenworth senior, played in the 20-member AllAmerican College Band at Disneyland in California.
Club may close its doors
By a Kansan reporter
The Sanctuary, 1401 W. Seventh St., is on its way to become an apartment clubhouse rather than the popular club many KU students know, thanks to the unanimous approval last night by the Lawrence-Douglas County planning commission.
It didn't take the commission long to endorse the plan of Sanctuary owner Ace Johnson to split up his property and sell part of the land, where 81 apartments already are being built.
For Johnson to sell part of the property, he is required to have the approval of the planning and city commissions.
Johnson wasn't surprised by the swift go-ahead.
"We've crossed our t's and dotted our i's," he said before the meeting.
Originally, he planned to keep all the land
and build the apartments himself, but now he plans to keep only the land the Sanctuary is on and convert the building to a clubhouse, he said. He also will continue his catering service from the building.
For now, the Sanctuary will remain open for business, at least through the first three games of the KU football season.
The next step for Johnson is approval by the city commission. City officials told him his proposal would probably be on the Oct. 7 agenda.

The sale of the property where the apartment complex will be built is imminent, Johnson said. He has owned it for 22 years.
The Sanctuary was built in 1948.
Travis Butler, Lenexa sophomore, watches another drop of water fall from the ceiling of his McCollum Hall room into a bucket. Almost half of his room has become inaccessible because of dripping water, Butler said.
Persistent drips dampen some spirits in McCollum
Staff writer
By KIRK M. ADAMS
Travis Butler expected that drip to be gone.
Butler, Lenexa sophomore, draped a tarp over half of his McColum Hall room last year to catch water that was leaking from the ceiling.
Last year, housing officials told him that the leak would be patched over the summer, so he requested the same room, he said.
Butler lives in one of two rooms on the 10th floor of McColburn that has leaks.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing,
said that the roof had been patched this
summer but that the patching apparently
was insufficient.
Butler said, "As soon as the first rainfall we found out the roof still leaked. Patches don't work because the roof is pretty much a maze of cracks."
Butler uses a plastic bucket that the housing office gave him to catch the drips. He puts newspapers inside the bucket so $b^{+}$
dripping will not be as noisy. On rainy days, he said, he gets about half a bucket of water. Tuesday there was no rain, but the drip continued — steadily.
Butler said his roommate had been given another room, but he had not been given a new room himself even though he had requested one.
Stoner said the two leaky rooms had been designated as temporary assignments until more space became available.
Gerry Davis, Bakersfield, Calif., senior lives in the other room in McCollum with a drip.
"When I first got here I saw it dripping." he said.
"Unfortunately it was dripping right in the middle of the room. If the leak had been in the corner I probably would have just left it there." Davis said.
Instead, Davis and his roommate had to rearrange their beds around the drip. One of the beds already had a water stain when they moved in, Davis said.
