Students to face steeper fines for delinquent library materials
By a Kansan reporter
Students will face stiffer fines for late library materials starting this fall, according to Mary Hawkins, assistant dean of libraries.
Students who do not return periodicals and reserved items that are on a two-hour loan will have to pay a fine of 50 cents an item for every hour the material is overdue. That fine was 20 cents every hour last year.
One-day and three-day loan materials will carry a fine of 25 cents for every hour or portion of the hour that the item is not returned. That fine was 20 cents last year.
Students can accrue a maximum of $10 in fines for two-hour, one-day and three-day materials. After that, their borrowing privileges may be suspended. That suspension may be appealed, however, Hawkins said.
"It's a real hardship on other students who are waiting for reserved materials, we want to have them in the kind of materials," Hawkins said.
Book borrowers also will pay an increased fine for overdue books. Borrowers who keep a four-week or four-month loan item more than 30 days after it is due will be charged $5
for the item. After 60 days, the book will be declared lost and borrowers will have to pay for the replacement of the book and a $15 service charge.
If the book is returned during the 60-day period, the replacement charge will be dropped and the borrower will be assessed a $10 service charge. If the materials are returned after a 60-day period, replacement charges will be canceled and the borrower will be charged $15.
"We are assessing a process charge for items that are overdue or declared lost because our costs for replacing a book have gone up."
Hayden sets review panel for grants
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden announced yesterday creation of a special state panel to review applications from state and local criminal justice agencies for federal anti-drug program grants.
To be called the Criminal Justice Anti-Drug Grant Review Panel, the board will be headed by Kansas Bureau of Investigation director Dave Johnson of Topeka.
Other members will include Garden City Police Chief Jimmy Grenz, Douglas County district attorney Jim Flory, Johnson County Sheriff Fred
Allenbrand, Sumner County Judge Thomas Graber of Wellington, McPherson County Sheriff Harris G. Terry and Kary House of Topeka.
The panel will screen applications and make recommendations to Hayden on how to distribute about $1.8 million in federal anti-drug funds coming to the state for the past and present fiscal years. The money is to be used to develop strategies for drug law enforcement at both the state and local level.
An announcement by the governor's press office said guidelines for local law enforcement agencies to submit grant requests through their local units of government would be mailed in early September.
The grants are funneled to the state through the U.S. Department of Justice.
"I am pleased to announce the formation of this panel and commend to them the responsibility of setting into motion this significant program of grants for criminal justice anti-drug initiatives by local units of government," Hayden was quoted as saying.

Atchison County sheriff working despite calls for his resignation
The Associated Press
ATCHISON — Atchison County Sheriff Dennis Weinmann, facing calls for his resignation and a state investigation of his handling of vehicle inspection fees, says his office is conducting business as usual.
Weinmann, 37, who was elected in 1984, declined to comment yesterday about missing county money.
"I'll take it as it comes," he said. His lawyer, Charles M. Tuley of Atchison, said his client had not said he would resign.
"The whole story will come out in the end." Tuley said.
office."
County attorney Gunnar Sundby on Friday asked Weinmann to resign.
County auditor Glen Steacher last week completed an audit of the sheriff's office and turned his findings over to KBI agents. State and county records indicate that the county has not received its bike inspection fees for vehicles inspected in Atchison County since 1985.
"I personally don't see how he can stay on as sheeriff," said presiding county Commissioner Tom Lykins. "That's up to the sheriff whether he wants to stay on through an investigation of his
Sunday, in a letter dated Aug. 20 to KBI Director David E. Johnson, requested a special investigation of the sheriff. County officials discovered that a 1985 audit released in February had found discrepancies and poorly kept records of money the sheriff was supposed to turn over to the county.
Johnson said KBI agents were trying to talk to Weinmann and did not know how long the investigation would last.
"If it goes back to 1985 we'll have to get court records, vehicle inspection files, tax records and bank records," he said. "That could take awhile."
From her courthouse office, county treasurer Delores K. Ebling said: "This is a real shocker. We just assumed that the money was in the sheriff's account. I not his bookkeeper."
Ebling said that when she approached the sheriff about the discrepancies, "He told me his books were a mess."
Since April 1985, she said, the sheriff has been responsible for inspecting the identification numbers on vehicles that county residents bought out of state.
Of the $10 inspection fee, $1 goes to the state and $9 goes to the county's general revenue fund, Ebling said.
Before then, she said, the Kansas Highway Patrol did the inspections. On Monday the county had not received its share of vehicle inspection fees for May, June or July, she said.
She said her records showed that from April 1985 to April 1987, Weinmann turned in to the county receipts amounting to $7,238. But she said Kansas Highway Patrol records showed that the sheriff had performed 1,906 inspections.
Ebling said her calculations showed the county would be owed $17,154, more than twice what the sheriff turned in.
On July 31, Weimann was called before the County Commission and asked to turn over inspection fee records. Earlier that day Ebling said she had received a check from Weimann for $8,000.
But Ebling said that when she called City National Bank, where the sheriff had an account, the sheriff did not have sufficient funds.
On Aug. 3, Ebling said, the sheriff gave her a $2.399 check for vehicle inspections. She said both checks cleared the bank that day.
