Friday, October 1, 1999 The University Daily Kansan Section A·Page 5 Outhouse survives accidents, allegations "Morgan," a stripper at the Outhouse,1837 N. 1500 Road, rocks to the beat during her routine. Photo by Christina Neff/KANSAN Continued from page 1A the pattern of the injuries was consistent with a person lying in the road, and the death was ruled an accident. Wilks had been at the club and left on foot before the accident. in June, Wallace was arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He has been accused of allowing a 15-year-old girl to dance at the club. Wallace is free on $12,500 bond for the felony charge. Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel said that a hearing was scheduled for Oct. 13 on a motion to dismiss filed by Wallace's attorney. In a preliminary hearing, the girl, now 16, said she told Wallace that she was 17 turning 18, but that he did not require her to produce identification. Wallace said that the girl had showed him false identification before being hired. Wallace said he thought some county officials had a grudge against him and were trying to undermine his business. "I almost believe it's a setup," Wallace said. A patron of The Outhouse watches as "Morgan" dances for him. Photo by Christina Neff/KANSAN "They've been trying to shut me down since the day we opened," he said. "They can't find a legal reason, so they've been playing games." Wallace pointed to his latest run-in with county officials as an example. The county and Kansas Power and Light cut off electrical power to The Outhouse on Sept. 13 after Wallace's attorney sent a letter to Kansas Power and Light stating that the electrical wiring at the building was not safe. Wallace said he notified the county that he wanted to upgrade his electrical system to make it more safe. KPL and Keith Dabney, director of zoning and codes for Douglas County, found that the system was indeed unsafe and turned off power to the club. Dabney said that the upgrade Wallace proposed would constitute structural change and would require closure of the building because it was not within a commercially zoned area. Instead, it is in an agricultural zoning district. The building is allowed nonconforming uses because it fell under a grandfather clause when the agricultural zoning regulation was passed. Significant structural changes are not allowed for nonconforming uses. Wallace said that he didn't think that the electrical upgrade was a significant structural change, and that the county was just trying to keep him from improving his business. Wallace said he was taking the matter to court and had been using a generator to keep his club open, while the electricity was off. Dabney said that the repairs that the club needed would only take a matter of hours to complete and that once completed, the club could have power restored. Dabney said that Wallace's claims of prejudice against him were unfounded. He said that even though The Outhouse was a source of complaints by neighbors for noise, trash and lighting the business was being treated like other business. Lt. Don Crowe from the Sheriff's Department said that the club had received some complaints, but not a particularly high number. Wallace said that he not encountered much negative reaction from the community. "Actually, public support has been pretty high for me," Wallace said. sau. Wallace said that neither his legal problems nor his battle with the county would hinder the prosperity of his club which he said had been very profitable. had been very positive. "It's here to stay," Wallace said. "It'll be here longer than any county official will be in office." Alumni of three schools converge on campus for reunion — Edited by Chris Hopkins By Amanda Kaschube writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Convincing alumni to return to their college years may be hard for some schools but not for the University of Kansas. More than 400 people are estimated to return for the reunions of the School of Pharmacy, School of Education and School of Law this weekend. Gail Heim, 1969 graduate of the School of Pharmacy, said she loved returning to Lawrence because the school had been so good to her. "I haven't been back to a class reunion in 30 years," she said. "I want to see my classmates. It will be a good time." Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of pharmacy, said alumni from Illinois, South Dakota, Ohio, Texas and other states were slated. to return today. "The School of Pharmacy is the smallest school on campus," he said. "We only have 2,500 living alumni. There's a lot of camaraderie." At 9:30 a.m., pharmacy alumni will participate in a golf tournament at Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace. Malot Hall will offer student tours for alumni starting at 3:30 p.m., so that alumni can see the new additions to the building. Hotchkiss said that 50 people had registered for the golf tournament. "In the pharmacy school, you're not a number," he said. "You develop life-long friendships." The school also will offer a reception and banquet at 6:30 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union, and there will be a tailgate party at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at the parking lot of Memorial Stadium. The school has been sponsored by reunions for five years, with each year honoring a different class. This year honors the years ending in nine (1949, 1959, 1969 and so on), and the class of 1974. The School of Education also will be celebrating something special this weekend - 90 years of providing students with an education degree. Allison Rose Lopez, advancement officer for the school, said the two-day celebration showed the tremendous support of the school's alumni. "The School of Education alumni feel a connection to the school," she said. "They have a very strong base and they are supportive of our mission." Beginning at 7 tonight, education alumni will be surrounded by their classmates for dinner at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. Tomorrow, a 30-by-45-foot tent will be erected next to Joseph R. Pearson Hall for a two-hour party beginning at 10:30 a.m. Pearson is being renovated to serve as the new School of Education building in Fall 2000. Rose Lopez said a '60s string band would perform for alumni while they ate. "There will be giveaways there, too," she said. The school also reserved a block of seats at the football game so that its alumni could sit together and remember old times. During halftime, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will present awards for teaching excellence to three education alumni. the country. It will be a great event." "A lot of people have shown interest in the events," Lopez said. "People are flying in from all over event. For alumni of the School of Law, there will be a postgame reception with beverages and hors d'oeuvres at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive. Sandy Patti, director of alumni relations at the school, said about 150 to 200 people were expected to come to the annual event. "It's a good opportunity to come back to KU and get acquainted with the area," she said. "They are coming from all over the country." Heim, who also met her husband Jim while at the school, said she was looking forward to reminiscing with her classmates. "I feel the University has been very good to us," she said. "We received an outstanding education and we've had great careers." - Edited by Mike Loader OAK COUNTRY GOLF COURSE Golf Special 2 Golfers-18 Holes with cart $33.00 Weekday $38.00 weekend --- 2 Golfers-All you can play with cart $40.00 Total (After 1:00 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday Only) (913) 583-3503 Desoto Ks 15 minutes East of Lawrence Post-Graduate Volunteer Fair Find GREAT opportunities to gain experience and help others 841-PLAY 1029 Massachusetts http://www.ukans.edu/~upc/volunteerfair 9 a.m. - Noon Today Kansas Union Sponsored by University Career and Employment Services 864-3624 4th floor Lobby PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS We Buy, Sell & Trade USED & NEW Sports Equipment PIZZA SHUTTLE "Late Night" Special delivered after 9pm Two Pizzas One Topping on each $8.00 no coupons accepted 242-1212 842-1212 1601 West 23rd Southern Killeen Center Level 1 • Kansas Union* 864-3545 W Hollywood Theater SOUTHWIND 12 3433 I0WA 832.0880 BARGAIN MATINEES INDICATED BY () STADium SEATING - ALL DIGITAL Sat & Sun 6 a.m Daily 1 The 13th Warrior* 2:10 4.10 7.95 9.35 2 Runaway Bride** 2:05 4.35 7.05 9.35 3 Better Than Chocolate 4:35 4.35 9.35 1 Drive Me Craig™ 1:50 5:00, 7.35, 9.45 2 SigmaMade 1:50 4:20, 7.00, 9.50 3 Muñaford 1:15 4:15, 7.00, 9.30 4 The Sixth Sense™ 1:20 4:10, 7.40, 9.55 5 For Love Of The Game™ 1:00 4:00, 7.00, 9.55 6 Three Kings™ 1:55 4:00, 7.50, 10.00 7 Double Jeopardy™ 1:40 4:30, 7.25, 9.50 8 American Beauty™ 1:25 4:30, 7.50, 10.05 9 Mystery, Alaska 1:05 4:05, 7.05, 9.40 10 Jakob the Liar™ 1:50 4:10, 8.50, 9.25 11 Elmo In Grouchland™ 2:05 4:50, 8.50, 9.25 12 Blue Streak™ 2:05 4:50, 7.40, 10.00 2 Raffles in Doe. b. 3 Better than碳酸 stone * also...
