Elks face liquor charges

The Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) will议请仪式 early this week to the Lawrence Elks Club, location of a homecoming weekend alumni banquet and ranking state officials, including Gov. Robert Bennett and Chancellor Archie Dykes.
The ABC's chief enforcement officer, William Strukel, Tropea, said yesterday that the club would be charged with improper pooling procedures and of-
The alleged violations took place at a gathering of law school alumni after the University of Kansas-University of Oklahoma football game Oct. 16.
OTHERS WHO reportedly attended the gathering were U.S. P. Rep. Larry Winn, RKan., U. S. District Court Judge Richard Chamman, G. T. Van Beber; and administrators and faculty members of the School of Law.
The gathering was sponsored by the third- year law school class.
The controversy started when Curt Schneider, Kansas attorney general, said last week that Bennett had attended the court and denied his said, had included an illegal, "cash her."
In a recent opinion, Schneider said that bar arrangements at which alcoholic drinks may be purchased by the general public are illegal in Kansas. Members of private clubs may purchase drinks if they have liquor pool arrangements with the clubs.
A PARTISAN squabble developed last week after Schneider sent a memo to Bennett, requesting the governor to remind heads of state agencies that sports gambling pools were illiquid in Kansas. The Topeka Daily Capital reported that Bennett responded by sending out a memo that Schneider said was sarcastic.
In the memo, Bennett asked state officials
The last KU College Bowl was in February 1986. At that time, a KU College Bowl Committee organized its competition between living groups.

College Bowl quiz makes return to KU
University of Kansas students will have a chance to demonstrate just how quick-witted and well-versed they really are in college at the College Bowl Nov. 1-8 in the Kansas Union.
The Bowl is sponsored by SIL Society, a sophomore honor organization, and the University of Wisconsin.
A $2 entry fee is required for each
tender. The members must be under-
graduate students.
Each living group may register one four-member team, which will compete against teams from other living groups by answering questions gathered from KU professors in various academic areas.
not to bet on athletic events "so that the fate of the attorney general may be quiet, and so that his efforts and his attestations will not pressure matters," the Capital reported.
On Nov. 1-2 each team will compete once. The winners will advance to the semifinals Nov. 3-4. Final competition between the top two teams will be Nov. 5.
Scheineder then reportedly asked Bennett in a memo if he had attended the reception at the Elks Club. Leroy Towns, Bennett's mother, said that Bennett probably was at the affair.
TOWNS REPORTEDLY W was ill and in a Toeaek hospital last night.
Bennett couldn't be reached for comment. Dykes confirmed last night that he had been there.
"I don't know anything about it, except what I've seen in the news media" he said.
The winning team will receive a traveling trophy.
Two competing teams will play one game of two rounds, each round lasting
Each round will consist of a 20-point toss-up question and a four-part bonus question for the first team that correctly answers the toss-up.
The teams will be allowed 10 seconds to answer a tease-up question and 20 seconds to answer the final question.
IF A TEAM answers a toss-up question incorrectly, it loses 10 points and the other team will have the chance to answer it.
where Martin Dickinson, dew of the school of Law, was reported Friday as疑问 the reception was conducted in strict accordance with state law and a 1975 attorney general's ruling that set guidelines for receptions at which alcohol was served.
If the scores of the two competing teams are within 50 points at the end of the game, a gamble question will be asked.
Living groups that have registered a team for the Bowl-to-date are the Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Delta FI pratergies. Basket Field, Stephenson and Pearson scholarship halls; and an independent team. Rieger said she expected about 30 teams to register.
The opinion was signed by William Schutte, assistant attorney general. It stated that alcoholic drinks could be served at private gatherings in private clubs if the participants were guests of a club member, if liquor consumed was charged to a member's liquor pool and if money was used to purchase set-ups and not liquor.
STRUKEL SAID two agents had interviewed the club manager and determined that the attorney general's office had been followed at the law school reception.
Strukel said that he hadn't read a report by the agents, but that they reported there had been violations at the Elks Club reception. He said the club apparently had no records of accounts of individual members, but used copyright owned in a pool by all club members.
Four cases of liquor were set out with signs that gave the prices of set-ups, he said, and after the reception ended, the club was reimbursed $165 for lips from money apparently collected as cover charges or charges for drinks.
"It WAS DETERMINED that the club deviated from legal pooling procedures," he said. "It is my opinion that they had improper pooling procedures on that day and they didn't."
Dickinson couldn't be reached last night for clarification of his earlier comments. John Murphy, associate dean of the law at Brown University, would comment about the reception
A hearing will be set in Topeka within about a month. Strukel said, and the Elks

Gay disco turns to fantasy
By GREG BASHAW
Staff Writer
In the cool blue light of the Kansas Union Ballroom Saturday night Zorro, Captain Hook, about a hundred drag queens and a crowd of 20 disco and cruised the crowded floor.
From the balcony, a movie camera caught floodlit glimpses of Bob Dylan, a beaked, feathered six-foot bird and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
The Gay Services of Kansas Halloween dance was in full flower and would blossom
into a festival of about 1,500 men, women and animals before the metal disc music carnival.
At 8, it looked like a long night for Tom Franey, the disc jockey, who peered down on an empty dance floor from the balcony while some students set up a movie camera nearby. In the balcony corner, Todd Van Lanningham, director of Gay Services, met Ms. Zubatov on a red cellophane gown sprinkled with silver segments which would help win the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman look-alike contest.
Nolan turns heads—even KSU's
Associate Sports Editor
By BRENT ANDERSON
MANHATTAN—There's something magic about Nolan Cromwell—something that brings out behavior in people that no one would expect. Even fans of KU's arch-rival Kansas State talk of Nolan as if he were their best friend.
"Nolan's a great guy," K-State alumnus Jerry Graph of McPherson said at Saturday's football game. "We were sick when we found out he had been injured in the Oklahoma game. He's a great player and a great person."
Cromwell was released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday after knee surgery last Sunday. When he entered KSU stadium in a wheelchair to watch the KU-K throwbacks on the sidelines, hundreds turned their heads to see him.
SITEN, THOUSANDS of fans, most of whom were in the on the west side of the stadium supporting K-Sate, witnessed a game from the sidelines.
They did the same thing when he left, shortly before the game was over, although KU had virtually wrapped up a 24-14 victory. This time, however, Cromwell was on top. The KU equipment, wheelchair being pushed by a KU equipment manager.
"It was really a surprise to me," Cromwell said yesterday. "I certainly didn't expect them to do that."
Although Cromwell said he enjoyed the game, he also found it to be a new experience.
CROMWELL'S APARTMENT is filled with gifts, getwell cards and flowers, many from people he has never before seen but who have apparently been captured by Cromwell's magic.
"I've never watched a game from the sidelines before," he said. "From one standpoint it was fun, because our players were playing well and we were moving the ball. But, of course, I would have rather been out there."
Some people cried when he left KU's Memorial Stadium after being injured in a tackle by Oklahoma. And many people were happy when they saw him able to cheer for his teammates in Manhattan Saturday.
"We sent him a card with a hundred signatures",
beamed a member of a RU fraternity. "It was a shame"
to see him in this room.
What if Wertzberger had said Cromwell couldn't go?
"I have a feeling I probably would have gone anyhow.
No, I guess if the doctor said no, and Coach Moore said no,
I probably wouldn't have gone. Dad said, "Listen to the doctor."
I guess I would have listened to the game on the radio, but I would have been sick."
Cromwell said that he was told as late as Thursday by KU team surgeon John Wertzbert that he wouldn't be able to go to the game, but that he convinced the doctor to let him go.
"I would have hated it if people wouldn't have come. Time would have gone so slow. I would have never made it through the day. I was pretty started in for two or three days. When people started coming in and talking to me—players, coaches and some of my business professors—well, I knew I couldn't feel sorry for myself forever."
Cromwell said it was visits by coaches, teachers and other friends that helped him get through a difficult time.

"GET A LOAD of these yellow streamers on Mary's gown—they're straight from the '30s," Mark said. "They're designed to trip over."
Soon a bearded man in a cheerleader uniform who called himself Polly Pom-Ponte, bounded across the dance floor, madly waving read and blue pompons. Polly kicked high his shapely legs and bounced the entire floor with his spastic pyriformes.
AS THE TABLES lining the floor began to fill, three high school kids sneaked up the back stairs to watch the goings-on from a window. The girls wearing glasses were early arrivals.
"And of course a bouquet of dead flowers"
"Mary· Van Lanningham said, tossing a bird"
"in her pocket."
"We came up from Winfield for this," one said. "And not too many people from Winfield knew we came up for this," the other concluded.
In the corner opposite the high schoolers, three brawny beer drinkers hudded near the draught beer line. One with a belly bulging out of his gray flannel shirt said, "Never been to a gay lib dance, none of us. Never."
WHILE THE DANCE floor grew crowded and the red glow of lit cigarettes flickered, outside in the brightly lighted hallway the line waiting to get in grew longer. David Jacobson, Lawrence graduate student, took a picture of the hallway, where purges of all sizes were checked.
"This is the most many gays will do, is show themselves at this dance," Jacobson said. "The ones that won't come out on the streets will come out here because the dance is a safe place and the people don't feel that safety outside."
On the stairs overlooking the admission table a couple held hands and watched the dance floor through the door while waiting for the SUA movie to start. When a pair of bearded men kissed in front of the doorway, the guy grabbed his state's hand and pulled out the purse from his pocket of policemen, Ron Lewis and George Schumock, watched the couple pass.
DYLAN BLEW a sour note from his harmonica and looked disgusted. "Don't follow leaders, watch your parkin' meters," he bellowed.
"WE ALL DREW straws" for this assignment and I guess we two got the bracelet.
Frany dimmed the dose of disco and asked the three Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman contestants and five judges to come to the balcony. The crowd hushed and faced forward, necks cranning for a look at the nictalled women.
By 10 a snake dance twisted through the full floor and a circle of people and animals formed a ring around the dancers. A slender, black-krown woman unraveled a mummy man's bandages and Bob Dylan the Christopher Columbus and the beaked bird.
When Franny awarded Nancy Norris, Nevada, M.o. senior, the red gown and $10 first prize, she squinted in the movie lights and proclaimed, "I just want to say that when this is over, we we're gonna all go to work with Pancakes. David Saikusha here!"
Just the three buxom drag queens with
nour-white faces passed on to their way to
the ballroom.
"Well, maybe they're part of the Munster family then," Schumck said.
The crowd roared and bumped back into dance when Franny crumped up the disco

K-State fraternity repairs KU alteration of hillside
Twelve members of a KU ftrendly drove to Manhattan Friday morning and altered a large "KS" hillside sign to read "KU." The initials were altered in the same manner four years ago before the annual KU-K State football game.
A crew of fraternity members at Kansas
State University worked yesterday to undo
what a crew of University of Kansas
members had done Friday morning.
Fifteen members of the Tau Beta Pi fraternity at K-Site worked to return the 4,000-square-foot letters to their former owners and to charge of maintenance on the K-Site sign.
Philip Harden, Tau Beta Pi president,
said that the initials were whitewashed
every year by fraternity members and that
they had already planned to touch-up the
sign soon. He said he didn't know yet how
much the repair job would cost.
"It's just going to take a lot more whitewash to make it white," he said.
The top and middle sections of the "S" were painted black by the KU fraternity members, and the grass was covered with white paint to form part of the "U."
Except for one reported incident of vandalism, the KU campus was quiet during the weekend of the football game between the intrastate rivals.
our K-State students were arrested early Friday morning for allegedly spray-painting parts of Bailley, Stong and Wesco halls with purple paint. They were charged with criminal property to property and were released on $1,500 bond each.
Those arrested were Alvin Allen, 18,
Lawrence; Robert Hecht, 19, Seneca;
Kenneth Knox, 20, South Haven; and Clark
Wilson. 19. Prairie Village.
The four will be arraigned tomorrow in Douglas County Court.
