Registration drive nets 650 area voters
A registration drive sponsored by Douglas County officials has netted 650 new voters in the Lawrence area, Patty Douglas County clerk, said yesterday.
Jaimes said the county held similar registration drives every election year.
"About 70 percent of the people in Douglas County who are eligible to vote have voted."
That percentage was about average for Kanasa counties, she said.
The drive started Monday and will continue through Saturday. Registration tables are located at the four Rusty's IGA stores in Lawrence.
LAWRENCE POLICE arrested a man yesterday at 1:30 a.m. for allegedly trespassing in the 800 block of Avalon Road. Police said witnesses watched the man climb up to the third floor of the apartment building, crawl over the balcony and look in the window.
A KU STUDENT told police a man with a beige towel on his head, wearing only blue jeans, walked into her apartment at 9:20 p.m. Wednesday. Police said the woman told them that the man was exposing herself. The man left after the woman went to call the police, police said.
POLICE SAID THEY still were searching for a man in his 30s who extorted more than $1,000 from an 80-year-old man in the Gibson's Discount Store parking lot Wednesday afternoon.
BURGLARS STOLE $2,810 worth of radio equipment Tuesday night from the El Matador Carafe, 446
Locust St., police said. The burglar's broke a window in the front door and unlocked it, police said.
The younger man claimed to have inherited a lot of money and bet that the older man did not have as much. The older man produced more than $1,000 cash, with the condition that if he had more money, he could keep the younger man's money as well as his own.
The victim had gone to bring more money when the cash was taken from his truck, police said.
A cracked water line, a troublesome electrical short and an alling whistle kept KU maintenance crews busy yesterday.
The water line, located under a parking lot near the southwest edge of Allen Field House, broke about 10:10 p.m. Wednesday, Robert Forter, associate director of maintenance for facilities operations, said yesterday.
Yesterday, repair crews discovered a 2-foot crack in the pipe.
Maintenance crews kept busy
PORTER SAID the break caused a 4-foot-wide sinkhole to form in the parking lot. He said that within an hour he would cut down and the sinkhole blocked off.
Jesse Walbridge, facilities operations plumber, said the line probably broke from stress caused by shifting soils and the settlement of the earth.
ACCORDING to Porter, the water line supplied fire hydrants around the building and a grass-watering system in a nearby football practice field.
Porter said the fire department was notified that the hydrants were out of service and said the pipe should be repaired by today.
Nearby, University electricians worked to locate an electrical short in a power line supplying electricity, to the score board at Quigley Field.
THE SHORT in the 20%-volt buried cable was difficult to locate, said Robert Allen, facilities operations electrician.
problem would be found before a KU baseball game Saturday.
Allen said he was confident the
"It could be hours and it could be days, but we will be back in operation by Saturday, regardless of what it takes," Allen said.
AND THE TIME whistle on the power plant building "has a cold," Porter said. He said he suspected that condensation from the recent cold weather had lodged in the whistle's valve, causing it to yelp strangely.
Maintenance people were working on the whistle between soundings, Porter said, but he did not know when it would be healthy again.

Presents SUNDAY
There are some movies that it seems like everybody should see, and nobody does. One movie like that is "Best Boy," which won the Oscar for Best Documentary two years ago. Not only is it a documentary, but about a retarded man and his attempts to leave it home at the age of 52.
*best boy* is about Phillie Wohl; it was made by his cousin Ira. It portrays the warmth of his Jewish family and the difficulties encountered in teaching him to live on his own it is funny, touching, unforgettable. You owe it to yourself to see this extraordinary film.
But don't listen to us—read what the critics said:
—Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star
"A thrilling documentary."
"Those who avoid the film for fear it will be a downer are shortchanging themselves . . . an uplifting experience."
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
-William Woolf, Cue
"A fine, unusually moving example of documentary filmmaking."
-William Woolf, Cue storytelling
Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"One of the year's best films."
"One of the year's best films." Gene Siskel and Roger Fhert, Speak Previews
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, Sneak Previews
The classic story of a young man leaving home for the first time... except that Philly is 52 years old.
