Man sexually battered by another man at lake
A 52-year-old Lawrence man filed a report of sexual battery Wednesday with the KU Public Safety Office.
The man was approached and groped by an unknown male between midnight and 1 a.m. Sept r.6, a police report said.
Sgt. Troy Maien of the Public Safety Office said the victim was fishing in Potter Lake when the incident occurred.
Mailen said that the Public Safety Office had no leads in the case yet but that the investigation was continuing.
Telephone harassments reported at GSP-Corbin
Three residents of Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall have filed complaints of telephone harassment with the KU Public Safety Office.
Two of the women are roommates. They said in a police report Sept. 10 that they had received threatening calls on numerous occasions between Aug. 25 and Sept. 9.
Another GSP-Corbin resident reported receiving harassing calls between Aug. 18 and Sept. 10, the Public Safety Office said.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said police were investigating the calls.
Waihen also said that in a residence-hall setting, it was not uncommon for a number of students to receive harassing calls from a single person.
"Because the phone numbers are in sequence, someone could call one number and the next in line," he said.

"We had an incident before where an entire residence-hall floor received obscene calls from one individual."
Player punches opponent during boys' soccer match
A Free State High School student was arrested Tuesday on battery charges in connection with a fight during a soccer game at Free State High School.
"Emotions were running high, and he punched him in the face with a closed fist," Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler said.
Police said a 17-year-old Free State student punched an Overland Park East High School student during the game.
The incident occurred at 5:45 p.m, and the suspect was ejected from the game.
The Overland stitches above and three
stitches below his right eye.
A referee from the game reported the battery to the Lawrence police, who arrested the suspect after the game.
Lawrence High student arrested in assault case
A 17-year-old Lawrence High School Student was arrested and charged with
aggravated battery yesterday in connection with a recent assault of another Lawrence High School student.
"It appears that it may be gang related," Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler said.
Lawrence High School representatives would not comment.
The incident took place Sept. 2 at Lawrence High School, when a 16-year-old student was attacked by the 17-year-old student and an 18-year-old Lawrence resident, Lawrence police said.
"The victim was punched in the eye and fell to the black top," Wheeler said. Police said one of the attackers stomped on the student's head, leaving a shoe print.
After the attack, the victim went into a school building and punched a glass window. Police said that he probably struck the window because he was angry at being attacked.
The student received nine stitches above his right eye.
Topeka man suspected in Lawrence drive-by
A 19-year-old Topea resident was arrested early yesterday afternoon in connection with a recent drive-by shooting in Lawrence.
Michael Wycoff was changed yesterday with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and criminal possession of a firearm stemming from a Sept. 4 drive-by shooting at the corner of Eighth and Vermont Streets, Lawrence police said.
The incident began when two Lawrence residents were driving and honked and waved at someone they thought they knew.
Two men, one thought by police to be Wycoff, were driving near the victims and fired a shot immediately following their honk and wave, police said.
The bullet went through the bumper of the victim's 1991 Honda Civic, causing about $500 in damage, police said. The slug later was found on the ground near the car.
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said they had looked for a red Pontiac Grand Am the suspects were thought to be driving.
Police located the car at 2:12 a.m. near the corner of 11th and Mississippi streets.
"The officer stopped the car and located a handgun under the driver seat. He then arrested Michael Wcoff. "Wheeler said."
Police are doing a ballistics investigation to determine if the slug found near the shooting matches Wycoff's gun.
Police still are looking for the second suspect.

Dow unable to rally, loses almost 250 points
Bargain hunters moved in just as the market neared the low point of last week's plunge, providing a late bounce. The Dow finished 249.48 points lower at 7,615.54 points, more than 1,700 points, or 18.4 percent, below the July 17 record of 9,337.97 points.

The drop, combined with Wednesday's 155-point loss, more than wiped out the record 380 points the Dow gained Tuesday. The rise came amid hopes the Federal Reserve may lend a hand in the battle against economic distress spreading around the world.
House hurries to release Starr's report on Clinton
It was the fifth time in just 10 sessions that the Dow had whipped more than 300 points in a day, including the 512- point plunge Aug. 31.
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 345
WASHINGTON — Thrust into the first presidential impeachment case since Watergate, the House is moving rapidly to release some of the information gathered by prosecutors against President Clinton.
A day after Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr surprised Congress and the White House by delivering 36 boxes of impeachment material to the Capitol with extraordinary security, lawmakers planned yesterday to finalize arrangements to make at least 445 pages public today. The information would be posted on the Internet.
Sources familiar with the report said it laid out evidence of alleged obstruction of justice, perjury and abuse of power by Clinton in his effort to conceal his affair with Monica Lewinsky — in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit against the president and the subsequent criminal investigation. The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, were not more specific.
Clinton's personal attorney, David Kendall, immediately went before microphones Wednesday at the White House to insist, "There is no basis for impeachment."
But Starr spokesman Charles Bakaly told reporters the independent counsel had turned over "substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment of the president of the United States."

Haskell campus to showcase art at annual market
By Heather Woodward
Special to the Kansan
Native American artists from around the country will gather on Haskell Indian Nations University Pow Wow Grounds this weekend.
The event, the annual Haskell Indian Art Market, will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, rain or shine. The Pow Wow Grounds are three blocks south of 23rd and Massachusetts streets.
"The thing that is so neat about the fair is that the artists can only bring items that are handmade by themselves. This discourages traders or people who just buy mass quantities of crafts from coming," said Kerry Girty, member of the Haskell board of directors.
There will be 150 artist booths at the market, which is sponsored by Haskell Indian Nations University, the university of Kansas and the Lawrence Indian Art Show. Admission and parking are free.
pik images A variety of Native American food will be available, including Indian tacos, fry bread and meat pies. Girty said.
The Kiowa Club and the Apache Crown Dancers, both Haskell Indian Nations University student groups, will demonstrate traditional Native American dances. The Kiowa Club will invite audience members to participate onstage.
The Apache Crown Dancers take a stricter approach to their performance and do not allow pictures to be taken during the dance, Girty said. A third group, Thunderbird Theater, will do a story-time drama that will include audience involvement.
Jeff Williams, Lawrence senior and art major, said, "I've been to the market before. It's very interesting just to see what other cultures are doing in terms of artwork. You can get ideas or see techniques that you might not learn at this University."
About,20,000 people came to the market last year. Girty said, but she did not know how many KU students had attended.
"I think it is important even if you are just remotely interested in art to come out to the market," she said. "There are so many different styles of Native American art, and a lot of people are not interested at all until they actually see it."
