KU fans get seats, no sleep
By Dawn 0'Malley
Several the hard KU basketball fans forsook the warmth of their beds Monday night in favor of the cold floor of Allen Field House.
Their mission — to guarantee a seat behind the Jayhawk bench for last night's game against Big Eight rival Oklahoma.
The red tile floor in the field house lobby was cushioned with sleeping bags, flannel blankets and coats as about ten students passed the night playing cards, Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly.
A heated game of Monopoly that continued into the early hours of the morning failed to warm the fans, and dark circles under their eyes indicated that they had not gotten much sleep.
"These are the die-hard fans," Adam Grove, Wilmette III senior said, indicating those who had been at the field house since Monday night. "And the University needs more die-hards."
Grove said he had been there since only 8 a.m. yesterday, although he had spent the night at the field house before.
Mark Hershman. St. Louis sophomore, said he was no stranger to the field house floor. Last year he waited two days before the Oklahoma game and one day before the Memphis State game
"We are the fans." Hershman said.
"The ones that spend the might."
Adam Zimmerman, Northbrook,
Ill., freshman, said, "KU basketball
is the common denominator of life
itself."
The first four people to stake out their spot arrived at 8:30 p.m. Monday. But as the hours wore on, the number of students grew, until the gates opened to about 250 people at 4:30 p.m. yesterday.

Some of the fans who pulled the allnighter were inspired by friends who weren't even in line.
"My roommate talked me into this," John Cleary, Evanston, Ill., sophomore, said. "He did it last year and said it was a good time."
KU center Greg Dreiling was fouled by Oklahoma's Anthony Bowie as he tried to sail the ball during the first half of last night's game. Dresling had 12 points and 14 rebounds as the Hawks won, 98-92. (See page 13)
Mark Cheswick, Salina sophomore, said, "You really have to be a fan to
While Cleary was waiting in line, he said, his roommate was spending his time in class.

Hours and adds cut
University tackles closed classes
By Abbie Jones
Staff writer
A new program for the enrollment center computer will reject students who try to enroll in more hours than allowed by their schools, the director of student records said yesterday.
The new program will be used during early enrollment in April, said
KU officials also are considering decreasing the number of days students can add a class and charging students for repeated trips to the enrollment center.
University rules limit a student to no more than 20 hours each semester, except with permission from the dean, Thompson said. Each school
'Up until now we didn't have the means of assisting the schools. There were too many holes in the system.'
"The computer will know what the rule is for each school," he said. "Up until now we didn't have the means of assisting the schools. There were too many holes in the system."

Director of student records
There is no way to prevent students from adding classes to their enrollment cards after they get their stamps or from using an alternate class worth more hours to replace a closed class at the time of their enrollment
may set lower maximums.
The dean of each school enforces the hours policy when the students get their deans' stamps, he said.
The policy worked well when enrollment was done by pulling cards
for classes, he said, but has needed revision since the University switched to computer enrollment in the spring of 1983.
"We've programmed the computer to actually edit at the same time the student is enrolling," he said.
If a student enrolls in too many hours, the computer will indicate so on its screen.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences allows a maximum of 20 hours; School of Architecture and Urban Design, 18; School of Business, 20; School of Education, 16; School of Engineering, 19; School of Journalism, 18; Fine Arts, $13^{\circ}$;

Beirut officials seek survivors in bomb rubble
BEIRUT Lebanon — A new search was ordered today for victims of a car bomb that killed at least 25 people in a busy neighborhood of Christian east Beirut, but officials doubted any survivors would be found.
A car containing about 600 pounds of explosives blew up in the crowded Furn El Shekab neighborhood of Christian east Beirut yesterday during lunch hour, when hundreds of cars and shoppers filled the streets.
From Kansan wires
Christian Voice of Lebanon radio said rescue work stopped late yesterday but workers were under orders to renew the search today. It said, however, that officials did not expect to find anyone alive in the rubble.
The blast tore through shops and apartment buildings and sent a ball of fire along the street, setting some 30 vehicles ablaze, damaging eight multi-story buildings and blocking the street with flaming debris.
Police said at least 25 people were killed and some 125 wounded.
The bomb exploded yards from a local office of the right-wing Christian Phalange Party.
The party backs President Amin Gemayel in his opposition to a peace treaty signed Dec. 28 by Lebanon's three main militias.
Gemayel and other Christian leaders believe the pact would give Lebanon's Moslem majority too much power in the government.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing but a Phalange official who was slightly injured said he had no doubt that the bombing was in retaliation for his party's policies.
"This was just a message and we should expect more," he said.
One angry ambulance worker, carrying the injured from the scene, shouted, "They cannot punish us for being Christian and deciding our own fate. They cannot force any agreement down our throat."
The bombing brought to more than 1,000 the number of people killed or injured in fighting since Gemayel loyalists deposed Elie Hobeka as head of the Christian Lebanese Forces militia last week. HobeKA was the only Christian signer of the Syrian-sponsored militia peace pact.
Clashes also erupted yesterday between Druze Moslem militiamen of the Progressive Socialist Party and Lebanese army troops in Souk el Gharb, a garrison town in the hills east of Beirut. No casualties were reported there.
The blast coincided with sporadic shelling and clashes between Lebanese soldiers and pro-Syrian militiamen in the hills overlooking Gemayel's mountain strength of Bikafya, 11 miles northeast of Beirut. Moslem-controlled television said 4,000 militiamen — backed by 200 tanks — were massed in the hills near Bikafya awaiting word to launch an all-out offensive.
Unconfirmed reports said the bomber parked the Mercedes on the sidewalk, pretended he had engine trouble, then walked away and detonated the bomb.
It was the first car bomb in Lebanon this year. Last year car bombs killed 313 people in Lebanon, according to police figures
Yussef Bitar, the top police explosives expert, said the car was packed with 600 pounds of explosives, extra tanks of gasoline and oxygen bottles to turn it into a huge fire-and-spraynel bomb.
Hayden thinks House will stall lottery plan
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — House Speaker Mike Hayden said yesterday he hoped a proposed constitutional amendment to establish a state lottery would be approved on the floor of the House in about two weeks.
However, Hayden told an impromptu news conference that he thought the proposed amendment was about five votes short of the 84 needed for a two-thirds majority in the 125-member chamber. Hayden made the remarks just before a House committee began hearing testimony yesterday from lottery supporters.
See related stories p. 7.
"The lottery, is an issue that the governor and the (legislative) leadership have determined should be passed," said Hayden, who added that he believed the measure would only gain two-thirds support in the
Two-thirds of the members in both houses of the Kansas Legislature must approve a proposed amendment before it is submitted to voters. The proposed lottery amendment, which was held over from the 1965 session, cleared the Senate last year.
House after an intense lobbying campaign.
"We have a number of members who have reservations about it and those reservations are based on a number of reasons, many of them personal," Hayden said. "It will be a task that will take the governor's support and that of the leadership."
Hayden said he hoped to bring the issue up for a floor vote during the first week in February.
However, the speaker said the fate of the resolution might rest with a conference committee of House and Senate negotiators. Hayden said he wanted to eliminate language in the Senate-passed version that would earmark lottery revenues to help reduce property taxes across the state.
Instead, Hayden said he wanted to divvy up the lottery revenues in a companion bill that would need only a simple majority for passage. However, members of Gov John Carlin's cabinet, who testified before the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, said they wanted lawmakers to earnarm lottery proceeds in the resolution to fund Kansas' economic development programs.

Historic house is home of salon
Headmasters. 809 Vermont St
By Peggy Kramer
The house, now the home of Headmasters styling salon, was built in 1870 for Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first professional woman dentist in the United States. Taylor lived and worked in the house that now, over a century later, continues to be a place of business.
After 116 years, the Italian-style house at 809 Vermont St. remains a landmark of style and service.
Jim Grimes, owner of Headmasters, said that many of his clients, about 50 percent of whom are KU students, weren't aware of the historical background of the house.
"Having a current business in a historic place is a unique quality," said Grimes. "The wood floors, high ceilings and big windows create a special atmosphere."
on the National Register of Historic Places.
In June 1982, the house was placed
Dale Nimz, historian and member of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, said sites being considered for the National Register were evaluated on two characteristics - physical appearance and historical significance.
"The house certainly qualifies for the national register," Nimz said. "It's a well-preserved example of its time and a reminder of how early-Lawrence looked."
The Lucy Hobbs Taylor house is noted for its Italianate structure, typical of the post-Civil War period. It has nine rooms and a basement, extended eaves, a side porch veranda and windows of floor to ceiling height
Christine Diedel, an employee at Headmasters, said that because the house was a historic site, the employees took special care of it.
The house changed hands several times after Taylor's death, and spent some time as a veterinary clinic.
Taylor practiced dentistry with her husband for 16 years until he died in 1877. Taylor continued her practice until she died in October 1910.
The house's first owner was an outstanding historic figure, Nimz said.
In 1979, Paula Diaz bought the house and opened Headmasters. When Diaz moved to Seattle in 1985,
The Taylors purchased the lot where the house now stands in 1868. Construction of their two-story home was completed two years later. Their office was in the front of the first floor.
Taylor received her doctorate in dental surgery from the Ohio College in 1866. The following year, she married James Taylor, also a dentist, and they moved to Lawrence to practice their profession.
Grimes became the owner of the salon.
Diaz commissioned the proposal to have the house listed on the National Register and the proposal was submitted to the Kansas Historical Review Board in July 1981.
Marci Francisco, a member of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, said that any individual property owner could apply for nomination to the Register. The property is then considered by the Kansas Historic Preservation Department in Topeka.
Nimz said the applications were recommended to the Historic Sites Review Board, which is appointed by the governor. Then the nomination is forwarded to the federal board in Washington D. C. Sites may be placed at one of two levels — on the Kansas Register of Historic Places or the National Register of Historic Places.
