Vacant house burns in East Lawrence
By Harumi Kogarimai
Kansan staff writer
Fire burned a vacant house yesterday afternoon, causing smoke to spread through an East Lawrence neighborhood.
Dan Morrow, battalion chief of the Lawrence Fire Department, said the department received a 911 call about 1 p.m. yesterday. The house, 1346 New York St., was vacant, Morrow said. The fire department did not yet know the cause of the fire.
The walls and roof were damaged most severely.
Mike Redmond, owner of Remax Professionals, 600 Lawrence Ave., said that a former tenant had been evicted three or four weeks ago and that the house had been vacant since then.
Bill Culley, who lives at 1336 New York St., said he smelled the smoke when he was in his backyard. When someone told him that the house was burning, he called 911.
"I don't really know how it started," Cullay said. "Electricity wasn't on. It has been vacant for a while."
Eva Potter, a next-door neighbor, said that because she closed all her windows, she did not notice the smoke immediately. She and her children left her house about 10 minutes after Culley reported the fire.
"I know the back door was open, and somebody could have got in the house," she said.
Although Potter said she didn't know how the fire started, she said she had seen people entering the house since the old tenants had moved out.
Potter said neighbors and some teenagers went into the house a few times. One of her neighbors told her there were roaches and empty bottles and cans in the house.
"She said it was a mess," Potter said. "They could have left their garbage when they moved out. I don't know."
Debaters' strong season ends in disappointment
By Mark McMaster Kansan staff writer
The men's basketball team wasn't the only KU squad feeling disappointed last week.
Just days after the No. 1 ranked basketball team was eliminated from the NCAA tournament, a No. 1 seeded KU debate team was eliminated from the "sweet sixteen" of the National Debate Tournament, held March 21 through 24 at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
The debate team traveled to two national tournaments during the last two weeks, sending four debaters to the National Debate Tournament and 10 to the Cross-Examination Debate Association (CEDA) tournament, held March 28-31 at Wichita State University.
The University's top-finishing debate team, Drew France, Sioux City, Iowa, senior, and Hajir Ardebili, Overland Park junior, had hoped to win these tournaments. While they did not reach this goal, they finished in the top 16 of the 72 teams participating in the National Debate Tournament and reached the quarterfinals of the association's tournament.
France and Ardebili, who were
seeded first going into elimination rounds of the National Debate Tournament, were defeated by a sixteenth-seed team from Emory University.
Mike Eber, Miami freshman, and Grant McKeehan, Overland Park freshman, also participated in both tournaments, finishing 37th in the National Debate Tournament and reaching the sweet sixteen of the association's tournament, where they were matched against France and Ardebili. The match was given to France and Ardebili as the higher-ranked team.
Two other KU teams placed in the top 32 at the association's tournament, in which 200 teams participated.
Debate coach Scott Harris said he had hoped to do better at the tournaments but still was pleased with the team's performance.
"We did extremely well," he said.
"It's hard to be disappointed, but I wanted to win. Anything less than that was a disappointment."
The two tournaments marked the end of a successful season for the debate team, which reached elimination rounds at most tournaments it attended.
