Iraqis detain U.N. officials
Papers showing Iraq's production of nuclear weapons confiscated
UNITED NATIONS—Iraq soldiers detained U.N. officials for more than 12 hours in a Baghdad building yesterday, then forcibly confiscated documents that apparently show Iraq has been developing nuclear weapons.
The Associated Press
The inspectors found the papers in a surprise search several hours before the U.N. Security Council met to discuss Iraqi obstructions to U.N. searches for hidden weapons and production facilities.
President Bush has offered to provide troops and warplanes to guard inspectors and escort U.N. helicopters during searches. The confrontation appeared likely to lead the Security Council to accept Bush's offer.
The gulf war cease-fire requires Iraq to allow the U.N. inspections, and the Security Council already was upset over Iraq's refusal to allow unannounced helicopter flights to suspected weapons sites.
"We saw earlier the tragic consequences of the failure to comply with Security Council resolutions," Secretary of State James Baker said, referring to the U.S.-led campaign that drove Iraqi troops from Kuwait after Saddam Hussein refused N. U. orders to end his occupation of the emirate.
Baker was at the United Nations for
a speech to the General Assembly by Bush, who said U.N. demands that Iraq destroy its nuclear weapons capability could not compromised

Iraq has denied its nuclear program is intended to develop weapons.
Iraq's Foreign Ministry said the government was not trying to hide the documents but insisted that proper receipts be filled out for the papers to prevent false claims from being made about what is in them.
"This is all the Iraqi side asked for, but the inspection team did not accept the Iraqi request, which is a right that has been agreed upon by all inspection teams," said a ministry statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency.
David Kydy, chief representative of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria, said the papers found by the U.N. experts appeared to confirm for the first time that Iraq had been "working on the development of a (nuclear) weapons capability."
A statement issued at U.N. headquarters said, "The team reported that the material was unequivocally related to nuclear weaponization activities," so U.N. and IAEA officials ordered it seized.
Police are making more alcohol-related arrests this year

No. It is not your imagination
More police are checking identification and looking for underage drinkers in Lawrence.
About 40 people this month have been arrested or given notices to appear in Douglas County District Court for underdrinking or having drinkings. At this time last year, seven people had been arrested for the same charges.
Michele Kessler, staff attorney for Legal Services for Students, said showing false identification had a

maximum penalty of a year in jail and
a $1,000 fine.
Underage drinking has a maximum penalty of a $250 fine.
Kessler said lending a driver's license to someone for the purpose of obtaining liquor was a more serious charge than the maximum fine of $2,500 and a year in jail.
If a person is convicted on any of these charges, a misdemeanor charge will appear on their record.
"The best thing for students to do is not to violate laws, but they do have a right to exercise their constitutional rights."
The charge can be removed from the record three years after the sentence is completed, but the person must ask the court for its removal, Kessler said.
She said if a student had no previous alcohol-related citations, she would provide the student with the information herself and themselves to the district attorney.

had been violated, she would urge them to hire an attorney.
Donald Strohe, a Lawrence attorney who often represents people involved in alcohol-related offenses, said students could exercise their Fifth Amendment to not incriminate themselves when they are asked by an officer asking for identification.
Strole said officers could question a
person if there was reason to suspect underage drinking. However, the person has the right to refuse to answer questions or show identification he said.
"The best thing for students to do is not to violate laws, but they do have a right to exercise their constitutional rights." he said.
police said no one was under obligation to show identification, but police could detain the person or ask a barrister to perform an attempt to verify age or identification.
Strole and Warren agreed that the bar management had the right to demand to see identification, and that they were required to have the right to ask the person to leave.
Clark Morton, 19. Lawrence sophomore, said he had noticed the effort to curtail underage drinking and assaults among youth crowded because of the bar checks.

"Even people who are having par-
ties at their houses are carding," he said.
Morton said he attended a party in the 1300 block of Ohio Street on Saturday, when he came to the party, checked identifications with flashlights and told everyone to leave.
At least two people were cited by police for having alcohol in a public place (or near the street) in the 1900s. The police are now night day, according to police reports.
Morton said false identification usually worked at bars that catered to college-age people.
Greg Young, Manhattan senior and manager of the Wheel Cafe, 507 W.14th St., said that business had been slower than normal during the past few weeks, which might have something to do with the bar checks.
According to Lawrence police reports, bar checks have been conducted at the Wheel, The Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., Benchwarmers Sports Bar and Sport, 1601 W. 23rd St. and Hot Shots Bar and Grill, 623 Vermont St.
New scholarship hall director adjusts to living with 48 men

When Kami Thomas got a job as a scholarship halfdirector, she got more
Instead of managing a house full of women, she has a house full of men. Forty-eight men to be exact.
Thomas, Morganville doctoral student, is the only scholarship hall director this semester living in a hall with residents of the opposite sex.
KenStoner, director of housing, said having hall directors of the opposite
Kami Thomas, doctoral student, is surprised by herresidents' appetites.
Thomas, who is the director of Battenfield Scholarship Hall, said that when she first heard of the appointment, her concern was how the men would react to having a woman in the house.
"We pick the best candidate for the job," he said. "Sometimes that means putting a female in a male hall or vice versa."
Thomas said she was also concerned because she was replacing a director who had been in the hall for three years.
"I wanted them to be comfortable," she said. "It is their house."
But she forgot all her fears once she met the residents, she said.
"I truly do feel I got the best fit," Thomas said. "I think this has worked out best for me."
Not having any brothers, Thomas was surprised by the eating habits of males.
"The men just eat so much," Thomas said. "My guys are meat and potatoes. They want meat every night."
Thomas said it was unlikely that she would ever have a romantic relationship with one of the residents because of age differences.
She said that occasionally the men would ask her questions about women. "They ask, 'What would you do if you were in the situation?' she said.
They ask, what would you do if you were in the situation?** she said.
She is 25 years old,and most of the
men are between 18 and 22.

There is always an experience level that is missing. Thomas said. Living with a woman also has meant changes for the men.
Roger Shepard, Green River, Wyo., sophomore, said the men thought twice about using profanity around Thomas.
Paolo Aldeguer, Lenexa senior, said, "I can't go running around in my underwear anymore like I used to."
Missing KU students not expected to return; friends express concerns
National TV program links women, UFOs
By William Ramsey
Kansan staff writer
Two KU students from Russell who were reported missing from their hometown almost two weeks ago will face a difficult situation if they return, friends and roommates say.
Sonya Brock, a KU senior,
Stephanie Brock, a KU junior,
and their mother, Marcia Brock, 46,
were last seen leaving a friend's
funeral in Russell on Sept. 9, according
to the Russell County sheriff.
The women's disappearances have been linked by some to a loamy-organized Russell group that has ignored all religious views and a belief in UFOs.
Two other people who have been connected to the group have disappeared in the past week.
This weekend, the Brock sisters' belongings were packed and taken home to Russell by their father, roommates of the two women said.
Molly Green, director of Miller Scholarship Hall, where Sonya lived, said Sonya's father had visitation with her as he had his daughter's housing contract.
Megan Crawford, Stephanie's roommate in an off-campus apartment, said Stephanie's father had
picked up all of his daughter's belongings Saturday.
Crawford said he told her to find a room-mate or terminate the lea s i n g
agreement by the end of October.
The father, Sam Brock, could not be reached for comment.
Friends also have said that the two women soon might be disenrolled from the University by their father.
University officials said yesterday that student records listed the two as enrolled at the University.
Heather Schunk, one of Sonya's roommates at Miller, said she thought the sisters eventually might realize that they have to come back.
The sisters may face difficulties upon returning because of the publicized possible connection to a belief system, said Schunk, Wichita somonhore.
"Inside Edition," a nationally syndicated television program, broadcast a report last night that connected the women's disastrous experience with their alleged belief in UFOs.
Growing media attention has focused on the UFO theory and the group's supposed idea that the world is coming to an end.
"People are ready to turn it into some big, sensational show," Schunk said.
The program introduced its report with footage from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
"The connection that they made with the UFOs, in general, really portrays Sonya Brock as a freak," Downing said.
Theresa Downing, a Wichita senior who lives in Miller, said that she turned away a camera crew that she hail from the show this weekend.
Schunk said that image did not reflect accurately what the knew of the women, and that the scholarship was always would welcome Sonia back.
"The most important thing to us is not what she was involved in or what she wanted with her life but that she's safe," she said.
Chris Belk, a friend of Sonya's, said he was unhappy with the media coverage.
He said he did not expect the women to return to the University.
