Kansan staff report
Police investigate rape incident at residence hall
KU police are investigating a possible rape case that occurred in a residence hall after Late Night basketball festivities Friday.
The case is still in its early stages, but is classified as a rape, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. Mailen did not release the name of the residence hall.
Police know the students involved in the case, but Mailen said he was unsure how much contact police have had with the students.
The victim and the man accused of the crime knew each other casually. Both lived in the residence hall where the incident took place and they knew each other just in passing, Mailen said.
Mailen said the investigation was ongoing, and he was unsure whether the victim would ultimately file charges in the case.
He expected a more detailed report to be available today.
Man arrested after chase taken to mental center
A KU police officer had to follow a Lawrence man on Monday from 11th and Mississippi streets to North Lawrence.
The chase began at 11:28 a.m.
and lasted about 16 minutes at a
low speed, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of
the KU Public Safety Office.
The driver, a Lawrence man, was arrested for interference with police duties, eluding a police officer, driving with a suspended license and having no proof of insurance.
Because of his mental condition, Mailen said, the man voluntarily committed himself to Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 326 Missouri St.
Mailmen said the arrangement was made in place of taking the man to jail in order for the man to receive the treatment he needed.
This was the second incident since the weekend of the man interfering with police duty, Mailen said. A police report said the man was suspected of using alcohol before the incident.

LAWRENCE
Man arrested downtown after police discover drugs
A 24-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Monday night after police caught him with substances believed to be hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana.
The man was arrested about 9:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Massachusetts Street by a Lawrence police officer responding to a report that the man was disturbing the peace.
When the officer checked the man's police record, he uncovered a municipal warrant and arrested the man, who resisted.
The officer then searched the suspect and found the mushrooms in his backpack, and the marijuana was found sewn into his pants, Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler said.
Police confiscated 6.2 ounces of individually-packaged mushrooms and three grams of marijuana.
The man was then placed into the Douglas County Jail on charges of possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms, possession of mushrooms with intent to sell, resisting arrest, having no tax stamp, possession of marijuana and for having an outstanding municipal warrant. Lawrence police said.
His first court appearance was 3 p.m. yesterday.
Couple's dispute ends after man hit by pool cue
Two Lawrence women reported being threatened by a man with a knife Sunday night during a dispute in the 1600 block of Haskell Avenue.
The dispute began about 10 p.m. between the 18-year-old man and his 18-year-old girlfriend in her home, Lawrence police said. The two were arguing when the woman's mother, 40, got involved.
The man then went to his car and got a knife and started pounding on one of the home's windows, police said.
The pounding broke the window, and the man reentered the home.
"Then the fight commenced," said Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler. "Mama busted him on the head with a pool cue."
Police arrested the man on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery. Police said that it appeared the man was living in the home at the time of the dispute.
None of the participants needed medical treatment.
"But I think they were all scuffed up somewhat," Wheeler said.
One man injured, another arrested after car wreck
One man was hospitalized and another man arrested following a one-car accident Monday on Oak Hill Avenue.
Lawrence police said that at about 10:30 p.m. a 24-year-old Lawrence resident, lost control of his car while driving north-west on Oak Hill Avenue.
The car went off the road and overturned about 203 feet south of the Prairie Avenue intersection.
The man was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center. Med Center staff said yesterday that he remained in fair condition.
The man received injuries to his legs and head and was unconscious immediately following the accident, police said. He later regained consciousness at the Med Center.
Police said alcohol was present in the vehicle and contributed to the accident.
A second man, a 26-year-old Lawrence resident, was arrested at the scene for obstruction of the legal process.
The man told police that he wanted to stay and help, and police told him that if he did not go away he would be arrested.
"He didn't go away, and one of the witnesses saw him remove a beer bottle from the area," Wheeler said . "Then we arrested him."
By Keith Burner
Police did not know if the two men were acquaintances.
Police said that the man threw the bottle from the scene, but that they recovered it and will use it as evidence

Teaching center's permanent home opens at Budig to assist faculty
The Center for Teaching Excellence opened in its permanent location yesterday morning.
About 50 faculty were present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new center, 135 Budig Hall.
"It's a visible symbol of our support of faculty in their teaching," said Sandra Gautt, assistant provost.
He said the center would give facility ideas for teaching and help develop individual strategies to improve instruction.
She said the center was part of the University's continuing efforts to increase visibility for teaching.
Fred Rodriguez, center director, said, "The center was designed to support and encourage excellence in the classroom."
One method to improve teaching is video taping classrooms, Rodriguez said. He said instructors could request to be taped while teaching and then learn how to improve their style in a conference.
The center opened a year ago in a temporary location at Anschutz Science Library.
Rodriguez said anyone on campus with an instructional role was welcome at the center. That includes teaching assistants, graduate teaching assistants and professors.
"This is really the only place on campus that really is for faculty and staff," Rodriguez said.
The center offers a training room, resource library space,a conference room,two faculty work stations and an informal area for faculty gatherings.
