King's day no holiday for city
By Lynn Maree Ross
By Lynn Maree Ros and Sandra Crider Staff writers
Lawrence city employees will not get a holiday on Monday, even though that day has been declared a federal and state holiday.
Last year Congress declared the third Monday in January Martin Luther King Day in honor of the assassinated civil rights leader.
"I see no crying need for another holiday," said Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager. "Seven days is a sufficient number of holidays."
Ray Hummert, personnel manager for the city of Lawrence, said that most of the activities in observance of the holiday were to take place on another day so the employees still would be able to participate.
Bernie Norwood, president of the local chapter of the NAACP, said he had heard questions about why local employees would not get the day off to observe the holiday. But most people seemed to think that the spirit of the occasion was what was important, he said — not an extra day off for frivolity.
The Rev. Charles Kennybrew, who is a member of the group, said that the group was trying to promote observance throughout the community.
The Ecumenical Fellowship, which comprises the pastors of the ten black churches in Lawrence, is sponsoring special activities surrounding Martin Luther King Day.
community should act in accordance with the national government. The group is working toward that."
Other cities in the state are taking various positions on observance of the holiday.
Lynette Wolfe, director of personnel for the city of Wichita, said that the city could not afford to give employees another holiday. However, union representatives had been offered the opportunity to exchange one of their other designated holidays for a holiday on Monday.
The unions chose to keep the holiday schedule already designated, she said.
According to city personnel officials, city employees in Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., will get the day off as a result of re-allocation

of other vacation days
Debbie Forsyth, secretary to the associate dean of the School of Business, said that in the dean's office two days had been designated as working holidays — Martin Luther King Day and Veteran's Day. Because the office has two secretaries, they will take turns taking the day off. This year Forsyth gets the holiday in January.
Carolyn Lang, office manager for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that no one in the office had asked for the day off because the University would be open and those who chose to work would get paid time and a half.
Minor appeals judgment on drinking
By Frank Ybarra Staff writer
For one student, a single drink is causing more headaches than a whole semester's worth of hangovers.
Ronald M. Smith, Overland Park junior, is appealing a $510 judgment assessed against him because of a lawsuit brought about by a local night club.
Smith will bring a suit by the Sanctuary, 1401 W. 7th St., back to court on January 31. Smith lost the original lawsuit on Nov. 5.
He was sued by Harrison "Ace" Johnson Jr., owner and general manager of the club, because Johnson had to pay a $600 fine to the Alcohol Beverage Control Division when Smith was arrested at the Sanctuary for unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor.
If the judgment for the Sanctuary holds up, Smith will have to pay the $500 plus $10 in court costs and 15 percent interest on the money while he is paying it back.
months before his twenty-first birthday.
According to the police report, at the time of his arrest Smith showed false identification to police. The I.D. was an out-of-state driver's license belonging to an acquaintance of Smith.
When the Sanctuary was fined for selling alcohol to a minor, Johnson said his manager had checked Smith's license and he thought Smith was of legal drinking age.
The arrest occurred last April, two

But, Johnson says the Sanctuary has always been careful when checking I.D.s.
"We've been doing it the right way all along," he said.
Johnson said he carried out the action against Smith to teach students not to use fake I.D.s.

Directories reprinted because of omissions
By Piper Scholfield
Five hundred copies of the student section of the KU student directory were reprinted after the printer neglected to include students' home states in the original directory.
Staff writer
NAPCO decided to have the reprints produced by the University, but to reimburse the University for the cost.
Karla Carney, assistant director for communication services, said that soon after the directories were distributed in October the University Relations Center began to receive complaints regarding the deletion of student state addresses.
Carney said that although the new directories were printed at KU's printing service, a bill was sent to NAPCO, the printing company in Fairfax, Va., that was responsible for the deletion.
Glenn said the bill from KU's printing services totaled $1,300 — or $2.60 for every copy.
Dean Glenn, NAPCO's production coordinator for the University, said the error had occurred somewhere between the test printing and the
Carnay said that in her eight years with University Relations the student directory had always been printed by NAPCO and she could not remember any other mistakes in student directories.
final production of the directory
"At the time, we weren't so concerned with what had caused the problem as we were with finding out what the University wanted and providing it," said Glenn.
Because there were only 500 reprints, Carney said, they will be provided only for public relations and media use, not for students.
