Environmental activists sentenced
The Associated Press
WICHIHTA — A Sedgwick County district judge sentenced 22 environmental protesters to probation and 500 hours of community service yester-
Judge Faul Clark warned the protesters to obey the law wherever they are or face revocation of their 10-month probation. He said if probation was not approved, he would be $1,000 fine and be required to spend 10 days in jail.
District Attorney Nola Foulston asked Clark to sentence each protester to five days in jail and to deny probation. She said they crossed the border into Kansas with the intent of violating the law by
sivil disobedience. Most of the group's members were from Colorado.
The protesters were found Sunday sitting in an office at the Racon chemical plant.
The same plant had been the site of a peaceful planned demonstration Saturday. Organizers of the Saturday protest disowned Sunday's action and any connection with the people who were arrested.
Tom Moran, a protester from Boulder, Colo,

On Saturday, about 750 protesters gathered outside Racon and a nearby plant owned by Vulcan Chemicals.
Rob Merritt, a spokesman for Racon, said the protesters entered office facilities.
Authorities said it appeared that nothing in the building had been damaged.
Racon is one of five companies in the United States that produces chlorofluorocarbons, say environmental groups. Vulcan is a major supplier of chemicals to those five companies.
Environmentalists say CFCs destroy the zone layer, allowing more dangerous ultraviolet rays to re-enter the atmosphere.
The chemicals have been used for years as aerosol propellants; as cooling fluids in refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners; as solvents in industry; and in foam packaging and insulation.
Student writes, directs play; 'Letting Go' on stage today
864-4810
"Letting Go." a two-act play written and directed by a KU student, will be shown at 8 p.m. today in Inge Theatre at Murphy Hall.
by a Kansan reporter
"The play is very personal, maybe slightly autobiographical," said Blaine A. Mero, Denver, Colo., graduate student.
Mero began writing the play last summer and rewrite it again in January as part of a master's project.

The play is about a young couple and their three-year marriage, which
ends in divorce.
Mero said that it was strange to have written and directed the play but that he would not have had it any other way.
"It's not really about marriage and divorce." Mero said. "It's really about relationships and going into real life, of having a real, lasting relationship."
"Some people don't advocate directing the play that you've written, but I wasn't a labout to let someone do it after all my work." Mero said.
