KU students wake and find naked man in their house
Three female KU students were surprised this weekend by a naked man in their house, Lawrence Police said.
At 2:45 a.m. Saturday, a female KU student woke and saw a naked white male wandering around the house in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street. She followed the man into another bedroom, where he had knelt beside her roommate's bed. The woman started yelling, waking her roommates and starting the man. He ran out the back door.
Police arrested the suspect minutes later at 13th and Tennessee streets. He was fully clothed at the time of arrest.
The suspect, charged with burglary and attempted sexual assault, is scheduled to make his first appearance in court at 3 p.m. Sept. 27
Lawrence Police are investigating the suspect's connection to similar crimes in the area.

Student punched, beaten with curtain rod at home
Two suspects remain in custody after assaulting a male KU student in his home in the 1000 block of Emery Road Sunday, Lawrence Police said.
At 1:50 a.m., the victim saw three men enter his apartment while he was outside on the patio. When he went inside to greet them, he was punched twice by one of the suspects. Two suspects ripped a curtain rod off the wall, pushed the victim onto the patio and hit him with the rod.
Two of the men were arrested later that morning by Lawrence police at 3:30 a.m. in the 300 block of West 13th Street. Both are charged with criminal trespassing and aggravated battery.

LAWRENCE
Brown Bear will not argue outdoor dining revocation
The Lawrence City Commission will hold a public hearing tonight on a proposal to revoke the Brown Bear Brewing Co.'s sidewalk dining license.
Ryan Rodenburg, co-owner of the Brown Bear, 729 Massachusetts St., said he expected the commission to revoke the license, and the brewery would not put up a fight.
"We're so glad to be back in business with our liquor license that the outside dining is not that big a deal." Rodenburg said.
The brewery lost its liquor license Aug. 20 when the city learned that the Brown Bear was not meeting the 55 percent food sale requirement for downtown drinking establishments.
The brewery owners' first appeal for
a new license Aug. 24 was denied by the city commission. The owners formed a new corporation, reapplied for a liquor license and presented the city commission with a new business plan Sept. 7.
The city commission voted 5-0 to give the brewery another chance to make the 55 percent food sale requirement.
Rodenburg said he wanted to reach the 70 percent mark, but that he was more concerned with getting the bulk of the business back to normal operations after the three weeks' closure.
A sidewalk dining license requires at least 70 percent food sales.

STATE
Protest of State Board evolution decision put off
A protest scheduled for today's State Board of Education meeting will not occur.
David Mitchell, president and founder of Students For Inclusive Responsible Science Testing, the rally's sponsor, said a lack of support from student and national organizations was the reason for the cancellation.
Mitchell said the Board's decision to remove evolution theory from state assessment tests warranted protest.
"Obviously, they're putting political motives in the way of students' educations," he said. "The image of Kansas as a progressive, forward-looking state has gone to waste."
wittchell said he was working to organize a larger rally for next month's Board meeting Oct. 12-1.3. He said Students FIRST was working to secure support from the National Center for Science Education and campus groups, such as Graduate Students of Anthropology and the University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
“it’s kind of a disappointment that we weren’t able to have it now,” he said, “but there were just too many time constraints.”
Mitchell said Students FIRST would be vocal on the issue when the state legislature convenes in its next session in January.
"We'll try to be right at the front, taking the lead against the Board's stance," he said. "But we don't want to wait until January to address this. This issue needs to stay alive until the board rectifies its position."

PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania company agreed Monday to plead guilty to illegally giving China technology that could help improve the accuracy of missiles.

Company pleads guilty to selling missile secrets
Orbit/FR, headquartered in Horsham, about 15 miles north of Philadelphia, planned to plead guilty in U.S. District Court to violating the Arms Export Control Act, according to papers filed in court Monday.
Orbit will be fined $600,000 and could be banned from exporting products for up to 10 years, U.S. Attorney Michael R. Stiles said. Charges against at least one company official are likely to follow, he said.
Orbit/FR had agreed to a $1 million deal with Chinese North Industries Corp., a major military systems manufacturer for the Chinese army.
The software and equipment sold to China were designed to measure the effectiveness of antennas in the nose cones of missiles. The system was capable of measuring accuracy within 10 feet across a distance of 10 miles, said Joe Alkus, a Customs Service supervisor.
No money changed hands. Although the Chinese got the technology, it is not fully operational. Government officials would not discuss whether any damage to American security was caused.
Judge denies Nichols' request for new trial
DENVER—A federal judge Monday refused to grant Terry Nichols a new trial in the Oklahoma bombing, rejecting arguments that Nicholas was unfairly denied the opportunity to follow up leads developed by the FBI.
"There are reasonable limits to the search for possible leads to evidence, and the defense requests exceeded those limits," U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch said. He said the defense failed to show prejudice from the failure of the government to produce these

Nichols, 44, was convicted in 1997 of conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter in the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 people. He is serving a life sentence.

Parking woes persist despite permit sale drop
Daisy Hill this year it was nearly impossible to find a space.
Continued from page 1A
Hultine said even though University housing parking numbers had fallen, the parking department was looking into controlling the overcrowding problems that still have been occurring.
ON CAMPUS
"I paid $75 for a permit to park, and there's never any parking," Kearns said. "I finally wind up parking at the Lied Center or at a meter and get a ticket. Parking sucks."
Daisy Hill is not the only place where the number of parking permits sold decreased this year.
"Alumni Place, Jayhawker Towers, Oliver and GSP have all seen a slight decrease, but not as dramatic as in the Daisy Hill area," Hultine said.
"The parking department is looking into taking a proposal before the parking board to limit the number of parking permits sold for certain lots." Hultine said. "GSP, Alumni Place and the Towers are the places we'll be looking into to doing this."
Hultine said she hoped limiting the number of permits would alleviate the parking congestion at these lots. A final decision is still weeks away because they still do not have a full parking board selected, she said.
Oxford University professor Kenneth O. Morgan will present a paper 3:30 p.m. today at the conference room in the Hall Center. The presentation is "Lloyd George, Keirhardie and the Importance of the Pro-Boers."
