Bike club will hold local weekend races
By MATT BARTEL Staff Reporter
The Mount Oread Bicycle Club will hold two events for cycling enthusiasts — the KU Criterium this weekend and the Octaginta, scheduled for Oct. 9.
The Criterium, set for Sunday, will consist of five races sanctioned by the United States. Cycling Federation, founding member of the Fédération Internationale, 200, said Mickey Inbreer, manager of
Imber, assistant professor of educational policy and administration, said the races would be divided into five categories: an upper 1-2 class and lower 3-4 class for men ages 18 to 35; a class for women; one for junior ages 16 and 17; and a class for veteran ages 36 and older.
The races, which vary in length from 13.5 to 45 miles, will begin with the women's and veteran men's categories at 8 a.m. and will be run on a 9-mile course. The race will be on Jayhawk Boulevard between Wescoe and Strong Hills, he said.
THE JUNIORS and class 3-4 men will start at 9 a.m., Imer said, and the featured race of the day, the class 1-2 men, will start at 11:15 a.m.
In addition to the five races sanctioned by the USCP for licensed racers, Recreational Services will sponsor two races at 10 a.m. for amateurs who wish to try their hand at bike racing, Debbie Fish, assistant director, said.
Called the Chancellor's Cup, these races will be run on the same course and will cover 1.8 and 3.6 miles, she said.
Gene Wee, adviser for the Mount Oread Bicycle Club, said licenses for any of the Criterium riders would be available on race day at a cost of $40 for
beginners or $25 for people who had been licensed before.
Rich Potts, secretary of the club, said the bikes used in the Criterium generally were about 20 lbs. and ranged in price from $400 to $2,000. He said many of the bikes were equipped with a shock absorber and rolling resistance and a narrow range of high gears to allow for greater speed and more precise selection.
IN ADDITION to the correct equipment, Potts said, the racers needed to ride 250 to 300 miles of training each week during the racing season. He said learning was the most important aspect of racing, especially on hilly courses.
The club will also be sponsoring a weekend of non-competitive cycling activities Oct. 9 and 10, including an 89-mile ride called the Octaginta, Potts said. The course of the Octaginta will start on campus, travel on county roads and include a stop at Lone Star Lake and at Ottawa for lunch, he said.
The entry fee is $6 for the Octaginta, Potts said. The organization will use "sag-wagons," or vans that travel with them to the work site and repairs, and other aid to the riders.
"We've never had anybody we had to carry back," Potts said, "because of the sag-wagons and the fact that everyone goes at their own pace."
There will be food and beer available at the end of the ride, as well as T-shirts for sale, Patts said. Entry forms to any store are available online or on Union Activities or local bike stores.
THE WEEKEND will also feature several shorter, free rides, ranging from 15 to 40 miles, that will tour areas of historical interest. Potts said
There will also be a 12-mile time trial,
sanctioned by the USCF, and a bicycle
track.
Nearly 50 years of work by cartographers has finally paid off, as Kansas has become the first state west of the Mississippi River to complete detailed topographical mapping of the entire state.
James McCauley, survey mapping coordinator for the Kansas Geological Survey, said yesterday that 1,500 detailed maps, which show every road, river and contour of every inch of Kansas, were completed this summer. He said updates on the maps would continue.

The topographical maps, which are highly detailed maps of Earth's surface, were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Kansas Department of Transportation, McCauley said. The Kansas Geological Survey, based at KU's West Campus, pays half the cost of producing the maps.
"For years, topo maps have been popular in recreation because they show overgrown trails, intermittent streams, and streams that don't show up on most maps."
Drawing detailed maps takes time because cartographers must begin by taking aerial photographs of the area to be mapped. These photographs are then being drawn of recognizable features such as roads and rivers, he said.
Kansas completes topography man
By the 1980s, mapping was being done in less populated sections of the state. McCailey said. Final survey data from the program's final maps were printed this summer.
Contour lines are then added to the maps to show the slope and pitch of the land. Then the cartographers visit the land by doing ground surveys, he said.
"In rapidly growing urban areas, such as Johnnaon and Sedgwick counties, the maps become outdated. New houses, new roads and new ponds make a map out-of-date in a hurry," he said.
Map updating is done by a process called photo revision. In this process, cartographers use aerial photographs of the area and just add the new photos to the map, and said, Ground surveys are used only if the area has greatly changed.
Also, rivers and creeks wander around in their flood plains, he said. Enough change occurs in the course of a river in a few years to warrant remapping.
PLANS WERE NOT made to map the entire state in 1894 because cartographers knew it would be a big job that would take many years, the
THE BUILDING of quarries and dams also makes map updating necessary, McCauley said.
"Wherever there is man, things are changing," he said.
These final maps are not the end of the work, McCauley said.
Detailed mapping of the state began in 1834 when the U.S. Geological Survey began mapping the areas of Wichita and Kansas City, he said.
The detailed maps are drawn to a scale of 1 inch to 24,000 inches. he said. Most highway maps are drawn to a scale of 1 inch to 1.4 million inches. Each of the maps represents about 66 square miles.
Police said yesterday that a man in his 20s, wearing a denim jacket, robbed Owens Liquor Store, 910 N. Second St., at 11:20 a.m.
Police search for robber of liquor store
The owner of the store, Opal Owens, who was working during the robbery, said the robber stole $130. She said the robbed ask to see the store's brand list to get closer to her and the cash register.
Lawrence police are still searching for a man who used a knife to rob a liquor store yesterday morning.
Owens said the man threatened her with a knife that had a small hooked blade. "He shoveled me on the floor and hit me twice on the head with a bottle," she said. "I called the police as soon as I heard and I could get my eyes to focus."
Police said they had no leads in the case but were still investigating.
McCauley said in a press release. "Plus the maps are also used in city and county planning."
Owens said the robber was in the store for five to seven minutes.
Owens, who has owned the liquor store since 1974, was treated and released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital yesterday afternoon.

Patrolman switches role to detective

Every part of a Sero shirt shows why they're known as last of the great shirtmakers. Take for instance their Purist button-down collar shown above. It's famous for its full bell-shaped roll. They take many extra steps, all done by hand, to create that collar. No one else makes a collar with such care and attention. But, then again, no one else makes a shirt like Sero does.

He made the career move with his eye on 20 years down the line, he said. He plans to finish his bachelor's degree, where he will work or do when working 50 to 60 hours a week.
Kern was promoted this week from his job as patrolman to fill the vacancy left by Detective Sgt. Peter Fortner, who would become a first lieutenant in the Army.
Kern said that although he might see administrative work in his future, he did not think that it would change him.
