Bomb found inside vandalized vehicle
Someone vandalized and tried to burn a KU graduate student's car that was parked in front of Dyce morning, KU police said vidently.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker said the owner of the car parked the car in front of the hall about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and went inside Dyce with another graduate student to do some research work.
When they came out at 6 a.m. Sunday, they found the rear window of the car broken out and an engine filled with gas the gas tank, Longaker said.
A tube filled with an unknown powdered substance with a wick attached was found in the pipe leading to the tank. The wick had been lit but apparently had gone out, she said.
Longaker said the students did not know why someone would have tried to burn the car. The incident still is under investigation, she said.
Man faces charges
An 18-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Sunday night after he grabbed a shotgun and barricaded himself inside his residence at 240 Alabama St.
When the woman left, the man started to tear up a bedroom and then came into the living room of someone carrying a shotgun, Greer said.
The man was arrested by Lawrence police officers and taken to Douglas County Jail on charges of aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and resisting arrest.
Greer said witnesses to the incident then left the house and called police. One person stayed inside the house to talk to the man, Greer house.
Lt. Charles Greer, of the Lawrence Police Department, said the incident had occurred after the man and his former girlfriend had exchanged belongings.
Officers arrived and talked to the man. About 30 minutes later he came out of the apartment and was arrested, Greer said.
DUI bill is approved
Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol who unintentionally injure another person may face a felony charge under a bill approved by a House committee yesterday.
The House Federal and State Affairs unanimously approved the bill that would make it a class E felony to inflict bodily injury to another while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The committee heard testimony from proponents of the legislation earlier this month.
Present law says anyone arrested for injuring another while driving under the influence will be subject to the standard punishment for DUI.
"Under the law now you have to kill somebody if you're driving under the influence before you're charged with anything," said State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, and member of the committee.
Weather
Teddy will continue to be windy but colder, with a 70 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms and highs in the low to mid 50s. Temperatures will fall by afternoon. Tonight will be cloudy, windy and cold with a 50 percent chance of rain, possibly mixed with snow. Tomorrow will be most cloudy with highs in the low 40s.

Sweet smell of clove smoke faces ban under Senate bill
By Abbie Jones
Staff writer
Sweet aromas and numbing sensations from clove cigarettes may go up in smoke under a Senate bill that would ban the sale of tobacco products containing more than 30 percent cloves.
"They take it because it's supposed to make you high," Susan Arnold, nurse and poison center specialist at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said yesterday. "It makes your mouth feel real cool."
The Senate Federal and State Affairs last week approved the bill that would ban cigarettes laced with cloves because of increased risk of respiratory problems among children now will go before the full Senate.
Arnold said the cigarettes contain Eugenol, the active ingredient in clove oil, which acts as an anesthetic to numb the back of the mouth.
"Because of the local anasthetic they have a greater chance of inhaling deeper," she said.
Dangers associated with the cigarettes are nausea, vomiting, headaches, nose bleeds, coughing up blood, respiratory irritation, bronchial spasms and lung swelling, she said. A few deaths also have been linked to the cigarettes.
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta reported 12 cases of severe illness caused by the cigarettes between March 1984 and May 1985, but the Med Center hasn't treated any victims, Arnold said.
The cigarettes, which are imported from Indonesia, contain 60 to 65 percent tobacco, 30 to 35 percent ground clove buds and twice as much tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide as regular cigarettes, Arnold said. Regular cigarettes are 100 percent tobacco.
Rochelle McKown, store manager for the Town Crier, 930 Massachusetts St., which sells clove cigarettes, said she didn't know what people liked about them.
"I've tried them," she said. "I
McKown also said she didn't know what the store would do with the extra packs, which sell for nearly $2, if the bill passed.
"We do sell an awful lot of them," she said. "We keep quite a few cartons on hand. It would affect our business."
didn't like the taste. They have a real strong aroma."
Arnold said sales for the product had grown 92 percent from 1980 to 1984 and the majority or users were between 17 and 30 years old.
State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, and vice chairman for the committee, said the bill would be difficult to enforce because the state already had trouble enforcing the law which prohibited the sale of regular cigarettes to people under the age 18.
Morris said he couldn't predict whether the bill would pass the full Senate.
"I think it's kind of like a toothless tiger," he said.
Grain truck collides with bus, 32 injured
United Press International
BASEHOR — Authorities said that because a grain truck was empty when it crashed into a school bus, the 60 passengers on the bus were spared serious injury and perhaps even death.
Leavenworth County Sheriff Department Sgt. Herb Nye said that the injury toll could have been much higher than the 32 reported and that lives probably were saved because a two-train grain truck was empty. The truck skidded on a rain-slickened highway and collided with a bus carrying 54 students and six adults from Bethel Elementary School in Kansas City, Kan.
"They're probably just lucky it was empty." Nye said.
The accident occurred about 9:40 a.m. yesterday on U.S.
Highway 24-40.
and five adults, said Beth Bryant,
representing Providence-St.
Margaret Hospital in Kansas City,
Kan., where all the injured were
transported.
The injured included 27 children
No one was admitted to the hospital, though accident victims continued to walk into the hospital's emergency room seeking treatment or examination throughout the afternoon, Bryant said. Earlier reports of at least one serious injury were disputed by the hospital.
Neither the bus driver, James C. Nash, 39, Overland Park, nor the truck driver, Carl Sternsdorff, 52, Effingham, were among those injured. Brvant said.
Dispatcher Kevin Tucker of the Kansas Highway Patrol said the accident occurred when Sternsdorff tried to slow down his eastbound vehicle because a vehicle ahead of him was preparing to turn.
FCA gives inspiration to athletes
By Dawn O'Malley Sports writer

They run several miles a day, pushing their bodies to be the best. They try to stop opponents from scoring points. Their talent, the athletes say, is God-given.
To return the gift, they want to perform in the Lord's way.
These athletes are members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. They lounge together outside the arena and discuss their relationship with God as it pertains to winning, sports and everyday life.
The KU chapter started two years ago, under the direction of Steve Kueffer, assistant track coach, and Jim Ryun, former KU track athlete.
"I feel it is important because there is more to life than track and field and academics," Kueffer said recently. "This helps establish direction in young people."
In its first year, the chapter met hapazhardy to talk. This year the athletes elected Raymond Mitchell as president; Julie Hull, vice president; Tracy Bunge, secretary and Dan Schneider, treasurer.
Bunge, a pitcher for the women's softball team, is the only non-track athlete who is an officer.
Kueffer said the fellowship was for all athletes. But perhaps track athletes are more involved because they compete on a competitive and accessible level, and Kueffer is an organizer.
The KU chapter is one of 350 college fellowships countrywide. There are about 30 members here, but the number fluctuates depending on the season.
Although the fellowship provides an opportunity for athletes to get together, the chapter is not restricted to talk only in their group. Two weeks ago, the officers talked before a Lawrence Salvation Army group and a father-son breakfast.
Don McClanen founded the fellowship in 1954. He is a former
"We relate athletics to them and experiences to them," Bunge said. "We are somewhat of a role model. You try to give them direction, and help them not make the mistakes you made."

Bunge said she did not plan what she said at the sessions. She said she relied on the Lord for guidance.
According to their written purpose, FCA members are given a challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, serving him in their relationships in the fellowship of the church.

That philosophy has stayed alive today.
The officers, who travel to profess their beliefs, try to relate athletics to

experiences.
For Bunge, the fellowship provides a peace of mind. She said she believed she was talented because that was the way it was intended.
"FCA is a time for encouragement, a time for sharing, that has helped me stay strong in my faith," Bunge said. "You get support from the people. It's Christians associating with Christians."
In the fellowship, Mitchell said, the group talks about not succumbing to peer pressure to use drugs or alcohol.

Bunge said the fellowship was people with common interests helping each other keep things in perspective.

Thermostats in Learned most broken

There seems to be no explanation for the damage or why so many thermostats break in the building that houses the School of Engineering. But Porter said he had an idea.
"I'm not pointing any fingers, but someone over there tampers with them." he said.
Porter said he did not know whether students tried to adjust the thermostats. However, it is unusual for so many thermostats to break in one building, he said.
Ten to 20 thermostats break each year in most campus buildings, he said.
Glenn Waterfield, an electronics technologist at the school, said he didn't think all the thermostats that broke had been tampered with.
"I don't think the engineering students have a propensity for breaking thermostats," he said. "Some of thermostats are old and they just break."
Porter said the thermostats were made with plastic parts. The thermostats that needed replacing usually had the cover broken or the screws removed. The parts inside had been removed. Often the parts inside had been tampered with.
Each thermostat costs $52 to replace. he said.
The only way to change the temperature in a room or any part of the building is to have a facilities operations worker adjust the thermostat, Porter said.
"I think they think they can change the temperature by tampering with the thermostats." he said.
Facilities operations workers discover the broken thermostats when they routinely check the building, or when someone from Learned calls with a complaint about the temperature in a certain area.
Waterfield said the temperature in some parts of Learned often fluctuated between hot and cold. Rooms right next to each other may differ by several degrees.
The heating system was installed when the hall was built in 1963, he said. It operates on a system of heating the building and then cooling the rooms that become too warm.
