CAMPUS
Yesterday's The University Daily Kansan contained errors. The brief "The Legends at KU now on city's Public Transit bus route" should have stated the Lawrence Transit System's "T" fixed route system saw a 24 percent increase in April 2004 compared to April 2003. Also, it should have stated the "T" will complete an in-depth feasibility study to determine if providing the services to the Lawrence-Douglas County Jail, 3601 E. 25th St., and adding a direct route to The Legends are options. These routes are not officially added yet.

Bar owner to offer limousine service for students in June
In June, students may have an alternative to Safe Ride — the Limo Loop.
Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. 8th St., and The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St. plans to offer a limousine ride service. The service will run from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. thursday through Saturdays. For a $7 charge, a limousine will pick up people at their home, drive through downtown and can also stop by other bars such as the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and The Crossing.
Boulter will use his three white limos — a 1985 Cadillac, a 1988 Lincoln and a 1991 Lincoln.
Abagail Adams, Lawrence sophomore, studied Tuesday afternoon at Clinton Lake. Adams said she was out enjoying the weather and trying to get some reading done for her Arabic class.
Boulter said he wanted his service to decrease drunk driving.

Arsonist suspect awaits Douglas County charges
The Douglas County District Attorney's office has yet to file any charges against David Ryan Jay. Jay was arrested in connection with a series of fires set in Douglas and Johnson Counties in early March.
The Douglas County district attorney is waiting until Jay's trial is completed in Johnson County before it files any charges, said Shelley Diehl, assistant district attorney.
Diehl said it would be easier to sentence Jay in Douglas County if he had already been convicted of a felony in Johnson County.
A preliminary hearing in Johnson County originally scheduled for May 21
"There's no reason to interfere that hearing. They have him in custody and he has a very high bail, so he's not going anywhere," Diehl said.

Snider said they received stacks of reports on the crimes and are still expecting more. She said that if Jay's case went to trial, she could not say how long she thought the proceeding would take but that it would be lengthy.

Kansas refuses release of Lew Perkins' records
LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas has refused to release records
about athletic director Lew Perkins' compensation package to The Associated Press and the Kansas Press Association.
The Lawrence Journal-World and cable television station 6News sued the University of Kansas this year after the school refused to release the same records. Last month, the AP and KPA asked to join the suit.
Because the original defendants have not objected, the judge is expected to grant the motion, said attorney Mike Merriam, who represents the AP and KPA.
