Fake IDs threaten bar
NIGHTLIFE

KANSAN WRITE WRITER
The line that normally allows only a slow trickle of patrons inside The Hawk on weekends was nonexistent about 11:30 p.m. Friday, as patrons sporadically entered the nearly empty bar.
The bar, 1340 Ohio St., has had 17 alcohol-related violations in two-and-a-half years, said coowner Tom Devlin, Devlin and his partner John Heleniak could soon have their liquor license revoked.
"There are rumors out there that Tom and I are in jail and the bar's closed." Heleniak said.
Evidence about minor-in
One violation could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and a suspension or revocation of an establishment's liquor license, said Brad Burke, assistant attorney general at the ABC.
possession citations by Lawrence Police Department and Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control officers at The Hawk was presented at a hearing last week.
Burke would not comment on why The Hawk had stayed open so long with so many violations.
Heleniak said The Hawk paid a $10,000 fine for three minor-in possession violations two-and-a-ball years ago.
Burke said if the judge, ABC
Director Tom Groneman, ruled against The Hawk, its owners could appeal the decision.
Two months could pass before Groneman makes a decision, Burke said.
Burke would not comment on specific details of the case.
Heleniak, owner since 1998, said he and Devlin would spend as much money as needed to save their license. Heleniak and Devlin said they disputed the part of Kansas law that says a bar cannot "unknowingly permit the possession or consumption of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage by a minor."
Fake IDs can be difficult to catch,
Devel said. Every ID in question
had a picture of the person who presented the ID to bouncers.
"It's only fair if the person knows they sold to a minor," Heleniak said.
Devlin said The Hawk still has a good compliance rate, the ABC's measurement of how often minors are turned away.

"Everyone thinks we are closed but we're not," said John Heleniak, co-owner of The Hawk. in response to the rumor that The Hawk. The bar is now closed because of the recent violations for serving to minors. Heleniak and co-owner Tom Devlin said they would take whatever measures were needed to secure the bar's liquor license.

Former softball player sues University

Former University of Kansas
Vasquez
softball player Jackie Vasquez is suing the University and several associated individuals after being kicked off the team, Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said
Marchiony said Vasquez was removed from the team because of misconduct regarding assistant coach Jennifer Sewell's e-mail account.
Albert Lopes, Vasquez's attorney, did not return calls seeking comment over the weekend.
Marchiony said Bunge had players shower in their uniforms, in order to motivate them after a loss. The 1996 Olympic softball team used a similar tactic. Marchiony said.
Marchiony said the other two players who went to Perkins were not kicked off the team after talking to him. Perkins knew about the shower incident and addressed Bunge before the players approached him, Marchiony said.
Senior second baseman Jessica Moppin said the softball team had moved on from the incident and would not comment further. Bunge also would not comment.
Vasquez filed five complaints to the KU Equal Opportunity Office, one of them claiming sexual harassment was involved in the incident, Marchiony said.
Sewell borrowed Vasquez's computer last semester and did not sign out adequately to prevent anyone from accessing her account, Marchiony said. He said Vasquez then accessed Sewell's e-mail and read e-mails about players and coaches, and that's why she was kicked off the team.
Marchiony said Vasquez stated in the lawsuit she was removed from the team in retaliation for her and two other teammates talking to Athletics Director Lew Perkins about an incident with Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge.

Prescription renewal moves online

Melissa Cooper uses two prescription drugs every day.
Instead of stopping by Watkins Memorial Health Center or Walgreens pharmacy, Cooper renews her prescriptions via the Internet. Cooper, Philadelphia freshman, said she used the Internet for refills because it was cheaper and more convenient.
"It's easier for me just to go online and refill it, and then it just comes to you in the mail," Cooper said.
A 2004 National Consumers League study of 1,013 Americans 18-and-over said 15 percent of the respondents bought drugs online and one-third had done so without a prescription.
Survey respondents who used the Internet wanted more government control over online providers. Of those surveyed, 60 percent agreed that the Food and Drug Administration should approve any dispenser of prescription drugs.
When consumers utilize the Web for drugs, they are often at risk for receiving counterfeit
products
Since 2000, the FDA has investigated more than 20 cases of counterfeit prescriptions every year,the NCL study found. In the 1990s, the FDA investigated an average of five counterfeit cases per year.
Cooper said she was not worried about counterfeit drugs because she used Caremark.com, which is recommended by her
insurance company.She was required to send in her prescription and fill out paperwork before becoming eligible to refill her prescription online.
Regardless of the dangers, more Americans are buying from the Internet. IMS Consulting, a firm that provides analysis and intelligence on the pharmaceutical industry, estimated that
online sales totaled $407 million in 2003, up from $160 million the year before.
Sally Heilman, a pharmacist at Orchards Drug, 1410 Kasold Drive, said that younger generations were utilizing the Internet more for prescription drugs.
"The No. 1 reason is to save money," Heilman said.
Heilman said there were issues to consider before choosing an online provider.
"I think probably one of the
Heilman said she had received calls from people inquiring about drugs they probably ordered over the Internet; however, she can't help them because she has no personal records and consulting with them would present a liability.
Orchards Drug has not seen much change in the amount of business they receive, but Heilman said that was most likely because the demographic that she saw most often was older and less computer savvy.

Two speakers will kick off Jayhawk Communication's seventh annual Lee Denim Day for breast cancer awareness at the University of Kansas.
Sheryle D'Amico and Julie Cowdin will speak about breast cancer survival and prevention at 7 p.m. tonight in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
D'Amico is an oncologist, a physician who studies, diagnoses, and treats cancerous tumors, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and Cowdin is a breast cancer survivor who was treated at LMH.
According to the American Cancer Society, 40,000 American women will die this year of
According to the American Cancer Society,40,000 American women will die this year of breast cancer and it will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
Amy Bainum, Dover senior, said she would attend the speech because she has witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects of
breast cancer and breast cancer will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
breast cancer.
Her mother was diagnosed in 2002, when Bainum was a senior in high school.
After going through chemotherapy treatment and having both breasts removed, her mother remains alive today, with the cancer in remission.
Watching her mother go through all the treatments was an eye-opening experience because she witnessed her mother lose a body part that society places great emphasis on, Bainum said.
Jayhawk Communications the public relations firm of the KU Public Relations Student Society of America, will sponsor activities to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research this week leading up to Denim Day on Friday.
"I learned that being a female isn't just about having breasts, even though we place so much emphasis on it in our society," Bainum said. "It's so much more than that."
Group members will pass out information about breast cancer, collect donations and display a memory board for people to remember affected friends and family members. They will have booths Tuesday through Thursday on the lawn in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, between Watson Library and Wescoe Hall, and at Mrs. E's on Wednesday and Thursday.
Lee National Denim Day occurs on the first Friday of October, which is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is the nation's largest, single-day fundraiser to support the fight against breast cancer.
Denim Day encourages people nationwide to wear jeans in exchange for a $5 donation
to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
All money collected will go the foundation. , Denim Day has raised $52 million and has been held nationally for 10 years, according to www.
komen.org Last year, Jayhawk Communications collected about $1,500.
Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park sophomore and assistant director for Jayhawk Communications, said because most KU students wear jeans anyway, the group wouldn't make people wearing jeans give donations on Friday.
Morgenstern said it was important to bring about awareness to something that is important to many people on campus.
