By Scott Worthington Kansan staff writer
The lead singer for the California-based alternative reggae band Bad Brains is still in Douglas County Jail almost a month after being arrested for striking two audience members with a microphone stand in a concert at the Bottleneck, 727 New Hampshire St.

Hudson's attorney, Richard Krogh, said Hudson was not released on bail because of concerns for his safety.

Police reports quoted crowd members as saying that they were going to kill someone in the band because one of their friends was struck in the head with the microphone.
Hudson will remain in jail until an Aug. 31 sentencing.
"I thought he was just crowd surfing or something," said Doug Schulte, manager of The Bottleneck. "But then I heard the microphone pop and the crowd got quiet."
Hudson, 39, became angry during a July 20 concert at The
Then, Schulte said, Hudson jumped back on stage and sang
a few more songs before leaving through the back of the bar, where he was arrested without resistance. The crowd calmed down shortly after the concert ended.
"The crowd was just upset the show ended e arly ," Schulte said.
Krogh said Hudson regretted the incident and wanted to put it behind him.
"He doesn't seem to have any animosity toward people in Lawrence." Krogh said.
Hudson likely will get two years probation, Krogh said.
The other members of Bad Brains have left Lawrence, leaving the band's future uncertain.
"Based on what I've observed, he'd be unlikely to be back with Bad Brains," Krogh said.
Hudson declined comment.

Football player petitions court for right to play

Alani Pahulu's future with the University of Kansas football team will be decided by a court of law.
Pahulu and
Pahulu and his attorney, Mike Maddox, have filed a petition with the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., calling for an injunction against the University's ruling that Pahulu is

medically unfit to play. The court date has been set for 9 a.m. on Aug. 21.
Pahulu, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive lineman from Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, was declared medically ineligible during the spring of 1994. Dr Steven
Munns diagnosed him with cervical stenosis, a congenital narrowing of the neck, when Pahulu experienced stinging in both arms after a hit in practice. Dr. Paul O'Boynick, chief of neurosurgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center, also diagnosed him as medically

"We have chosen to stand by the medical opinions of Dr. Munns and Dr. O'Boynick," said KU athletic director Bob Frederick. "I understand Alani's desire to play, but for me to go against the medical opinions of our team doctors doesn't make any sense."
Pahulu, who was recruited to the University in 1994 from Ricks (Idaho) Junior College, sat out the 1994 season because of the condition. This is his final year of eligibility.
"He's very disappointed and upset." Maddox said. "He believes he is capable of playing. And frankly, he thinks he should be given that opportunity."
Pahulu has agreed to sign a waiver that states he would not hold the University liable if he is injured because of the condition, but Fred- erick said that he had been advised that such a waiver might not hold

ranulu could transfer to a Division I-AA or Division II school and be eligible this year, but he is not interested in that option, Maddox said. Pahulu had been practicing with the team this spring, but he has not participated in contact drills.
The Jayhawks started practice Aug. 10. Their first game is Sept. 2 against the University of Cincinnati.
KU DATELINE
The court's decision will be final because even a successful appeal would come too late in the season, Maddox said.
