Relocating bar looks to reopen after 'glitch'
After being closed for the past two nights, Rick's Neighborhood Bar and Grill hopes to reopen today. Rick's had been ordered closed by a writ of restitution.
A document posted on the door at 623 Vermont declared that the occupants had 10 days to remove themselves. The order was dated March 30.
Owner Rick Younger said the bar had encountered a glitch as it prepared to move out of its current location, but did not want to discuss it.
"Instead of ranting and raving, we are just taking care of it," he said.
Rick's was scheduled to move from its current location at Sixth and Vermont Streets to 846 Illinois Street, where Dodson's Liquor and Keg used to be. in a The University Daily Kansan article in February. Younger said his bar had to be out of its Vermont location by April 20.
First Management, which owns the building occupied by Rick's Place declined to comment on why Rick's was shut down.
The law firm representing First Management, Pendleton and Sutton, also declined to comment on the issue. District Two Judge Jack Murphy, who issued the restitution, could not comment on the matter.

Preliminary hearing date set for accused arsonist
A preliminary hearing for David Ryan Jay has been set for May 21 in Johnson County District Court. Jay,23, is charged with two counts of arson in Johnson County. Yesterday was his second court date, but his first appearance in the courtroom. On March 26 he had a brief trial, but appeared via closed-circuit video.
Jay turned himself in to police in California on March 15 in relation to more than a dozen fires that were set in Douglas and Johnson Counties between March 7 and March 11. More charges are expected to be filed against Jay.
Jay is in Johnson County Jail. His bail is set at $1 million. A hearing on April 20 will determine if that bond should be lowered.
Concealed-carry bill passes through House to governor
—Neeley J. Spellmeier
TOPEKA—Legislation allowing Kansans to carry concealed handguns cleared the House yesterday and went to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who said she would prefer a narrower bill.
The measure would require the attorney general's office to issue a concealed-carry permit to any Kansan 21 or older who is a U.S. citizen, pays a $150 application fee, has no mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction and completes eight hours of training.
As amended by the Senate last week and approved by the House on a 78-46 vote yesterday, the legislation would allow concealed weapons in the Statehouse, school parking lots and restaurants that serve alcohol. But many other venues would be off-limits.
Sebelius said she would prefer to limit the right to carry concealed guns to retired law enforcement officers and would probably not sign more permissive legislation.
Legislators can override a governor's veto with two-thirds majorities in both chambers. The bill had cleared the Senate by a veto-proof margin but received six fewer House votes than would be needed to override a veto in that chamber.
Under the bill, concealed guns would be banned in schools, city halls, courthouses, state office buildings besides the Capitol, the Kansas State Fair, bars and taverns. Businesses and individuals would be able to post signs banning concealed guns, and violators could be charged with a Class B misdemeanor.
Supporters of the bill contend that the measure would allow law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. Opponents predict it would lead to more gun-related violence.
Only Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin do not have some type of concealed-carry law.

Higher harmony
Brent Carter/Kansan
Robert Shaw, Shawnee sophomore, and Lawrence residents Tusta Krne Das and Stephanie Grebel played a Maha Mantra yesterday in front of Wescoe Hall. The trio used traditional instruments to perform the piece of music. Shaw played karatals, which are small cymbals, Das used a small drum called a mridanga and Grebel accompanied them with a harmonium. "We want to inform people of santana dharma, which translates to eternal religion or spiritual principles," Das said.

is it true that the Kansas Capitol building is the largest capital building in the US?
Several states claim to be the tallest state capitol building, including Texas, Louisiana, and Kansas. The national capitol building in Washington also claims to be the tallest, but only by a few feet. However, once the "Ad Astra" statue was added in the summer of 2002, the Kansas Capitol officially became the tallest.
