CRIME: KU police share campus cases

interest, not because it involved high manpower or budget, but because it was an issue the University community wanted to know about.
A male student was arrested by Lawrence police for stalking a female student. Although part of the stalking occurred on campus, the suspect was arrested for stalking the victim off-campus, according to the report.
Stalking was considered to be of interest to the University because of the nature of the crime and because there have been famous stalking cases all over the country, Oliver said.
"We thought women on campus would be interested in knowing how many stalking cases there were on campus and if it's a problem," he said.
Oliver said that another area of interest included in the report was hate and bias crime, especially cases involving sexual orientation.
Anytime a particular group is singled out, the University is concerned because of its mission for understanding and for diversity to exist. Oliver said.
"I think it's because our gay and lesbian population on campus is so active politically and as students," he said.
"The fact that they're out in full view make them more susceptible to people who are homophobic."
Domestic violence also was included in the report as a case of interest, although the crime was more of an issue several years ago. Oliver said.
"We dealt with several cases four or five years ago," he said. "It became an issue in the community in general."
Exxon Valdez owners ask for federal subsidy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The tanker Exxon Valdez was banned from sailing to Alaska following the massive 1989 oil spill. Now its owners are seeking a federal subsidy, saying the bar forces the ship into money-losing foreign trade.
The subsidy request is under review at the Maritime Administration and representative John N. Swank could not say when a decision might be made.
SeaRiver Financial Holdings, an Exxon Corp. subsidiary based in Irving, Texas, which owns and operates the vessel, said the ban forced the ship into overseas trade. The company wants to join a federal subsidy program designed to help ships with American crews compete with less expensive foreign vessels.
The 211,000-tanker, now called the SeaRiver Mediterranean, became infamous in 1989 when it ran aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, spilling 11 million gallons of oil. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 included a provision banning the ship from Alaska.
"The vessel is excluded from transporting oil from Valdez, and that's the trade for which it was originally built," said Art Stephen, a SeaRiver representative. He said the vessel is too large to operate in East Coast ports.
The amount of money sought is unclear because the amount of a subsidy is negotiated between the owners and government at the time it is approved. The Operating Differential Subsidy program assists about 50 vessels with an average annual payment of about $3 million.
The renamed tanker has operated in foreign trade since 1990, primarily carrying Middle Eastern oil to Europe. SeaRiver has completed more than 60 voyages during that time, but it reported that it was losing money and may lose more.
In 1991, Exxon agreed to make payments totaling $900 million through 2001 to settle state and federal charges arising from the environmental damage in the Alaska oil spill. In a separate lawsuit brought by Alaska residents, a jury has ordered Exxon to pay $5 billion in punitive damages, a ruling that is on appeal.
