Israeli troops withdraw from West Beirut
By United Press International
BEIURT, Lebanon — Israeli troops departed West Beirut yesterday, but diplomas said the government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin had insisted on leaving an Israel "presence" in the Lebanese capital despite the expected arrival of 1,200 U.S. Marines tomorrow.
President Reagan, who had demanded Israeli troops leave West Beirut before the Marines were deactivated, was a key ally of Washington that West Beirut was
"primarily under control" of the Lebanese government.
DEPUTY Press Secretary Larry Speaks said the United States was encouraged by Israel's progress in pulling its troops out.
The State Department said 1,200 Marines were expected to land in Beirut tomorrow, 400 more than previously announced. Another 600 Marines will remain offshore aboard 6th Fleet ships in reserve.
U. S. officials said the purpose of the multinational force was to help the fledgling Lebanese government establish its authority over the city. They
attached no significance to the increased number of American combat troops to be sent ashore.
THE ISRAELIS, using about 100 C130 cargo planes and helicopters, yesterday ferried their troops and heavy equipment out of West Beirut. But despite the substantial pull back, diplomats said Israel was insisting on maintaining a "presence" at the airport.
As the airlift was under way, French and Italian peace-keeping troops took up strategic positions around the front line in a wide range of the massacre of hundreds of
Palestinian civilians by Christian militiamen.
BLEANESE President Amin Gemel, hoping to quell fears of another slaughter, had asked the peacekeeping troops to move in quickly. The number of bodies recovered from the massacre rose from 23 on Friday to yesterday — 311 reported by the International Red Cross and 24 reported by the civil defense.
Gemayel, who took office last week,
was reported yesterday to be planning
a trip to Europe and the United States
to drum up support for the removal of
all foreign troops from Lebanon —
Israeli, Syrians and Palestinians.
Video games zap bowling, pool revenues
By MATT BARTEL Staff Reporter
Students are no longer as interested in bowling or pool as they are in video games. Warner Ferguson, associate coach for the Kansas Union, said yesterday
The Jaybowel's 14 new video games are a hit with students, Ferguson said, but bowling and pool revenues, reported by the declining, have shown no improvement.
ALTHOUGH figures for this year were not yet available, he said net profits for the previous two years showed a decline of more than 70 percent, from $8,400 in 1980 to $2,200 in 1991.
Ferguson blamed the slow business
on a combination of factors, including a lack of nearby parking, slow economic conditions and the increased interest in video games.
The Jaybow keeps 50 percent of the revenue from the 14 video games that were placed there in August by a local distributor.
"The video game revenues will be better," Ferguson said, "but people just don't have as much money as they once did."
WARREN BOOZER, Jaybowl manager, said he thought the financial reverses suffered by the Jaybowl were not all that bad.
"If you check the accurate records, we didn't make as much as we did before, but we did make a profit," he said.
He said the Jaybowl's price for a bowling game, 85 games, was less than at any other local bowling alley.
Prices at other alleys in Lawrence range from $1.20 to $1.25 a game.
BOOZER also blamed the loss of business on the lack of parking. The X-zone parking lot behind Spencer Museum of Art is the closest one to the bowling alley, which is on the first floor of the Union.
"That's a long way to walk carrying a bowling ball or, two." Boozer said.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said an ad hoc committee last semester examined several problems at the Union, includ-
parking and the decrease in revenues at the Jawbowl.
Ambler was chairman of the committee, which was made up of members of the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation Board, union staff and chairmen of Memorial Corporation standing committees. Ambler said the committee recommended continued observation of the Jaybow's financial situation.
"I don't know that we'll ever solve the parking problem." Abbler said.
Ambler said the loss of the parking spaces to the new K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumun Center had made the problem worse, and helped to make the Jay-bowl's financial problems.
Jury members selected for Boan murder trial
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Selection of jury members was completed yesterday afternoon for the trial of Bradley Boan, charged with the murder of a former people's University of Kansas Medical Center in March 1981.

Bean, 32, will be tried in Wyandotte County District Court on two counts of homicide and three counts of aggravated assault.
He is accused of entering the Med Center emergency room and shooting Marc Beck, 25, a second-year resident working in the emergency
Boan's attorneys plan to rely on a defense of insanity. If he is found innocent by reason of insanity, he has been admitted to the Larned State Hospital.
Bean was arrested on Dec. 9, 1981, after he entered a Kansas City, Kan., church to confront the pastor. Two of the aggravated assault charges stem from this incident. The police later said that him, they discovered information that linked him to the Med Center shootings.

County hears proposal for courthouse addition
Douglas County commissioners yesterday heard a proposal for an additional courtroom in the county courthouse, a county commissioner
Beverly Bradley, chairman of the County Commission, said the courtroom, which would be used by Mike Malone, newly appointed associated district judge, would be built in 1983 at a cost of about $200.000.
Malone is the former Douglas County district attorney.
THE EXISTING courthouse has empty space for the new courtroom, which accounts for the relatively low construction cost estimate. Bradley said.
The county took suggestions for the courtroom construction from architect and architectural firm.
yesterday's meeting. It cannot accept bids from contractors until Jan. 1, 1983. Bradley said, because there is no project for the project in the 1982 budget.
HICKS SAID his company had most of the information it would need to begin drawing up nlans for the room.
"The new courtroom should end up very similar to the old courthouses, but we don't have the specifics of what the judge hasn't made any plans yet," he said.
Hicks said that because the construction would be indoors, it would probably take only four or five months to complete.
"The only thing that will slow down construction will be keeping the county courthouse open for business while construction goes on." he said.
