Students miss trial; man sentenced

Traffic and airplane problems prevented four University of Oklahoma students, including the son of OU's president, from testifying yesterday in the trial of a Lawrence man in Douglas County District Court.
Because the witnesses were unable to arrive, the district attorney's office agreed to reduce the charge against Merle Wales, 25, 1600 Haskell Ave., from aggravated battery to battery, a misdemeanor, said Greg Hammel, Douglas County assistant district attorney.
WALES PLEADED guilty to the amended charge yesterday afternoon for the Oct. 17 battery of William S. Rosanky江, the OU president's son. After the plea, District Court Judge James Paddock Jones charged with misdemeanor battery, six months in the Douglas County jail, starting yesterday.
Wales had been charged with one count aggravated battery, a felony, for which the maximum sentence is 20 years.
The charges stemmed from an Oct. 17 incident that began when one of the OU students, Ann Everson, Norman, Okla., who was with the three other OU

students, flagged down a car on Massachusetts Street to ask directions.
Everson and Jan Newton, also from Norman, told police the driver of the car got out and began fighting with Banowsky. The three other occupants were not immediately engaged in fighting with Banowsky and Bernard O'Hara, also from Norman.
BANOWSKY WAS A patient at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for two days after the incident. O'Hara was released from the hospital after he was treated for injuries resulting from the incident.
Everson and Newton, who were not injured, identified Wales and three other Lawrence residents as the ones involved, police said.
Stephen Howell, 19, charged with aggravated battery, was scheduled to stand trial yesterday, but his case was continued until Jan. 5, 1983 Victoria Miles, who pleaded guilty to an amended charge of disorderly conduct, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and granted probation for her involvement in the incident.
THE OTHER Lawrence resident involved was Brian Moore, 17, the driver of the car, whose case is being handled in juvenile court.
Their second flight was canceled because of problems with the airplane, he said, and the next flight did not leave until 3 p.m.
Hammel said the four witnesses from OU missed their first flight because of a traffic jam caused by an auto accident.
Court was recessed at 12:20 p.m. and scheduled to reconvene at 4 p.m., when the OU students were expected to arrive.
The district attorney's office did not find out that the OU students were delayed until a jury trial for Wales had begun and two police officers had
HAMMEL SAID he started plea negotiations when he heard that the students would not be able to arrive until 5 p.m. and planned to meet on 6 p.m. vesterday.
"As of this time, we haven't heard from them and have not been able to contact them," Hammel said late yesterday afternoon.
The tour were constantly being paged at the airport in Oklahoma City, and every possible effort to contact them had been made, he said.
THE LAST communication his office had with the four students was a message they had left at the airport that they could be reached at home. Hammel said the district attorney's office requested that their parents and William S. Banowsky, the president of the university, but could not contact the students.

Cities wary of New Federalism
Reagan plan concerns officials
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
City officials across the country are cautious and concerned about President Reagan's proposed New Federalism package, several Lawrence University researchers and the National League of Cities meeting in Los Angeles said yesterday.
The package, which Reagan has said his administration will push in Congress early next year, would transfer many programs now handled by the federal government to the cities and states.
Lawrence City Commissioner Don Binn said many officials were concerned that the federal government might transfer responsibility for the programs to the cities but might not transfer federal money to pay for them.
THEY'RE ALL apprehensive of what the New Federalism is going to do
to the cities," he said. "If we accept the responsibility, then we have to have the money to do it."
Binns is attending the League meeting with Mayor Marci Francisco, Boston, Boston, City Manager Buford Watson and Assistant City Manager Mike Wilden.
The meeting concluded last night, and the officials are expected to return to Lawrence today.
Gleason said that Reagan had not yet divulged enough specifics of his package to give the officials a good idea of what might happen to the cities.
"IT'S Likes A package of fog," he said. "It doesn't really have very much humidity." It could cause us all some serious problem, depending on how it's brought out.
Watson said that many cities across the country faced similar problems in maintaining services.
The biggest problem for each city, he said, is maintaining what is called the
infrastructure, which comprises the roads, streets and other city facilities, while still maintaining the other services each city provides.
An improvement in the general economy would help the cities a great deal, Watson said. For example, lower taxes could help lift city clusters that borrowed money, he said.
Watson also said that the other officials he had talked with viewed Reagan's package cautiously.
THE EFFECT ON Lawrence of any New Federalism package is still hard to measure and will depend on the specifics of the package. Gleason said.
"They welcome the control of the programs at the local level," he said, "but they also want some revenue to go with that."
He also said that Reagan's package should include a mandatory pass-through provision, which would require that states give the cities a certain amount of the money they receive, rather than keeping it at the state level.
