House passes bill to help overcrowded state prisons
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The House yesterday passed a bill designed to ease overcrowding in the state's prison system by keeping some criminals out of state institutions and making it easier to parole those now incarcerated.
The measure would permit the agency to set up a system of "house arrest," increase the amount of time off a sentence an inmate can earn for good behavior, improve corrections Corrections to put some inmates in community programs before they are eligible for parole.
Currently, more than 5,800 inmates live in state prisons designed for a maximum capacity of 5,015.
The first major change the bill would make is increase inmates' "good time" credits by about 25 percent. In effect, the bill would move inmates' parole eligibility dates forward.
George Michael mimic wins lip-synch contest
By Donna Stokes
Kansan staff writer
Darin Simmer, alias George Michael, won the Students Against Multiple Sclerosis Rock-a-Like contest last week by lip-synching to "I Want Your Sex."
Simmer', a Wamego freshman, raised $200 for SAMS. A videotape of Simmer's performance was sent in to MTV national Rock-a-like contest.
"He made it to the regional competition to appear on MTV, but he was knocked off by another George Michael from Dartmouth," said Shelley Hansel, Wellington sophomore and co-chairman of SAMS.
Simmer said, "I had a really good time: it was a lot of fun."
Simmer was awarded dinner and a room at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, for winning first prize.
The lip-sync contestants collected $600 for multiple sclerosis, but total events raised more than $2,000, Hansel said.
The second prize was shared by Trisha Hudson, Omaha, Neb. sophomore; Crescent Bretz, St. Louis sophomore, and Courtney Watkins, Overland Park sophomore, who performed to "The Time Warp." They won gift certificates to Gutierrez restaurant, 2600 Iowa St.
A final performance was not given because a place to hold it was not available, Hansel said. The results of the contest were made final last week.
"We really appreciate all of the contributions from students and Lawrence bars for the contest." Hansel said.
Many local bars donated half of the cover price at the door to SAMS during the Rock-a-Like performance nights. Also, contestants sold 12-oz. SAMS mugs for $2. Bars cooperated by allowing 50-cent draws with a SAMS mug
On April 5, SAMS is sponsoring a concert in conjunction with KJK at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., featuring three bands: Ricky Dean Sinatra, the Red Zone and the Backsliders.
Mug specials would probably be offered during the evening, said Shane Langton, Wichita junior and member of SAMS.
On April 15, SAMS has planned a TGIF party with mug specials and pizza give-aways.
