Binns joined a delegation of about 10

Police await report on KU officer incident
Flanagan said he was forced off the road at 19th and Kasold街 by a man who asked him if he was okay.
A Lawrence police officer was in the area investigating an accident at the time, Flamagan said, and three of Flamagan's officers were present. The officer and told him about the incident.
The review concerns an incident involving Lee Johnson, a KU parking services officer, and Thomas J. Fianagan Jr., McLouth graduate student.
Flanagan said that after the accident he got out of his car and walked toward Johnson. Johnson, who was not in a police car, never asked for Flanager's driver's license or identified himself as a police officer, he said.
Douglas County officials who met privately with Gov. John Carlin Monday.
Flanagan said that as he approached Johnson, the officer alleged drew his service revolver and told the student, "It's best you forget about this."
"The Lawrence police officer came up to the KU cop and talked to him. After that the KU cop just got in his car and drove away," he said.
Elizabeth Dole Governor Carlin to speak at KU
Rising health care costs and alternatives for their contrainment are to be discussed at the second annual Mid-America Health University graduation tomorrow at the University of Kansas.
"We are concerned about the fact that the Kansas Department of Transportation had not included in their plans anything for a job related to the highway," Bims said in the highway program."Bims
Alternatives will be presented by speakers who include Gov. John Carlin, Thomas Nesbitt, president of the American College of Law, and Hankard Fondel, Federal Trade Commissioner.
A key issue of the conference will be opposing approaches to cost containment offered by the American Medical Association and the Federal Trade Commission.
The AMA resists cost cuts for health care if those cuts will deteriorate quality.
Dole, presenting the FTC's stand, will speak on the need for competition in health
The conference will be concluded with a presentation by Frank A. Lowman, chairman of the Kansas Health Care Commission. Lowman will review the experiences of other states that have curbed health cost through price regulation.
The cost of the conference is $2.00 a person and includes background materials

Don Kearns, KU parking services director, said, "The parking officer said he was in an accident, but that he didn't pull a gun."
Kearns said Detective Sgt. Paul Schultz could investigate the incident and give his insight.
The delegation's foremost concern was the widening and improvement of the roads leading from Topeka and Kansas City to Clinton Lake, west of Lawrence. Bums said most of the traffic going to Clinton from Kansas City would go through Lawrence.
According to Kearns, Johnson is still on duty but is out of uniform and is not carrying equipment.
"CLINTON IS the closest large reservoir to Kansas City. 'Bills said, "Those people from Johnson County are going to swarm in," said Kerry. "They will be a mass amount of traffic to contend with."
"However, our first priority is U.S. 40. It needs to be widened and renovated. It has been."
"One thing that came out of our meeting was that traffic accidents were not a major criteria in the Kansas Department of Transportation's planning for road improvement."
The delegation that met with Carlin included Beverly Bradley, chairman of the Daughters of Washington; Douglas County public works director, Glenn West, executive vice president of the Daughters of Washington.
THE LOCAL officials told Carlin they
wanted the state to help widen U.S. 40 from Iowa Street west to the Stull Road junction; to widen and improve U.S. 59 south to Interstate 35; to construct a bypass from K-10 of Lawrence to the Kansas Turnpike north of Lawrence to Haskell Avenue from 23rd to 1st streets.
Binns said that the transportation department determined priorities for the improvement of roads in the state, but that the coronor could intervene and change the plans.
West said the governor seemed to be interested in the needs of Lawrence and
"I think that he understands our problem and that he will take a good hard look at our needs, particularly Highway 40." West said, "and anyone can predict much more than that."
Police officers receive reprimands for behavior
Two Law enforcement police officers received reprimands Tuesday in connection with their alleged activities at two private schools and a law enforcement assistant police chief, said yesterday.
Stephens said one of the officers was reprimanded in connection with a Feb. 10 party that also resulted in reprimands of three other officers.
Binns said traffic problems from Clinton Lake would begin during the summer of 1980 and continue through 2005.
The officers were reprimanded for attending a private party at which three stripe-tie dancers allegedly performed for a group of law enforcement officers. The party was held at a rural lodge and the group was in the Formal Order of Police. Steenhens said
The officer reimprisoned in connection with the Feb. 10 party left the party and went to the department's office in Lawrence.
Another officer was reprimanded Tuesday for attending a party in July, Stephens said. That party also was a police lodge at the Fraternal Order of Police lodge.
Stephens said the officer, who was off duty, allegedly came into the station intoxicated and was asked to leave.
Stephens said the alleged activities of the officer at the July party were discovered by the investigation of the February party.
Mike Thomas, director of KU police, said there was no new information concerning three KU police department officers who also attended the parties.
"We talked to our officers, but unless more information concerning them comes in we aren't going to take any action," he said.
A report examining a computerized preenrollment system for the University of Kansas will be discussed at today's meeting of the University Council.
Pre-enrollment by computers to be discussed
The report, prepared by a University committee last semester, was submitted last week to the University Senate Committee for its recommendations.
UNDER THE Iowa program, student enroll at a central enrollment offered with 24 terminals. They . about a month before finals begin and the project takes about two weeks
SenEx discussed the report for 45 minutes at its meeting yesterday but failed to make any recommendations to the Council because of a shortage of time.
The report said that committee members were divided on the need for a pre-enrollment system at KU. The committee did agree that if a computer enrollment program was designed, a program like one now used by the University of Iowa should be implemented.
Hashinger to give original production
A typical Friday afternoon in downtown bar will be the setting of "The Happy Hour," a musical comedy written to be performed this weekend.
The musical, with a cast of hall residents, will be performed at 8 tonight through Saturday in the Hashinger Theatre.
"The Happy Hour" a glimpse at the sometimes laughable behavior of children in Rich, North Kansas City, Mo, sophomore, and on the music and lyrics of J. Denny Bentley.
Jerome Dahney, University City, Mo., junior, who is a bar player in the play, said the cast members had been rehearsing the production for six weeks.
"It is an original and the cast is very excited about it," Dabney said.
Jamie Rich, director of the show, said, "The group energy is high. But we are taking a risk in doing a show like this because it's an original."
Audience reaction would make a great
difference in the performance, Rich said after last night's dress rehearsal.
"We tried to make it as environmental, theatrical and musical as possible."
"The audience will enter from the same door as the actors. Rich said.
One environmental aspect of the production is that the stage is only one step up from the audience seating area.
"There are 28 in the cast and they have created an equal balance in the show," he said.
The musical's cast, which was selected by Rich after more than 55 auditions, began rehearsals on Jan. 22.
Moore, director of the orchestra, said 10 band members would play three songs that were a part of the show: "Happy Hour," "The Things Come True," "Cause I Love You," and "I'm Thin." The rest are songs Moore played.
Rich said that only a few tickets were left and that they were available to non-residents for $1.
Reservations can be made by calling 864-4390.
