Shuttle service to begin tonight
By Jeff Moberg
KU's new Secure Shuttle will make its maiden voyage tonight when the blue and silver vans with yellow flashing lights begin to pick up students who need a late-night ride home.
Kansan staff writer
Secure Shuttle is Student Senate's replacement for Secure Cab, which had its funding dropped at the end of December after a Lawrence cab company said it would raise the cost of the service.
The new service will cost Student Senate $17.50 per hour, but students ride for free.
In the past, students could call for free taxi service from anywhere in Lawrence, but the new Secure operates only on a fixed route.
The shuttle's first stop will be at Gammons, 1601 W. 23 St., around 11:30 p.m. If there are any students there, the van will take them home. The van then will move to Johnny's Up and Under, 401 N. Second St., and proceed along a fixed route.
The shuttle will stop at Bogart's, 611 Vermont St., the Eldridge House, 7th and Massachusetts streets, and the Kansas Union and Watson Library. At all other stops, students can take the shuttle from designated street entrances to the library block or two from places in Lawrence frequented by KU students.
If a student gets on the shuttle at Johnny's Up and Under, it will take about 17 minutes to go through the entire route which ends at Watson Library. The driver then will look at all the passengers' addresses and take students home. After that, the driver will return to Gammons.
Branson, and Rep. Robin Leach, D-Linwood, met with 50 area residents at the Eldridge House Hotel. The "Eggs and Issues" breakfast is held three times a year.
From Sunday to Wednesday, a van will stop at each location every hour from about midnight to 3 a.m. and Thursday to Saturday a van will stop every half hour from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. On busy nights the van may be a few minutes late.
The Secure Shuttle has 11 stops on campus and downtown. The shuttle begins its downtown schedule after a stop at Gammons, 1601 W. 23rd St.
Sunday through Wednesday, it makes stops every hour from 11:30 p.m. to 2:02 a.m.
Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays,
it makes stops every half hour; from
11 p.m. to 2.02 a.m.
Klan member plans lawsuit against KU
Knight claims that University violated his right to speak
By Joel Zeff
Kansan staff writer
A member of the Ku Klux Klan has announced that he plans to file a federal lawsuit this week against the University of Kansas for violating his right to free speech.
J. Allen Moran, exalted cyclops of the Missouri Knights, said in a telephone interview yesterday that the lawsuit was being drawn up by lawyers in New Orleans and could be filed this week.
"We are filing the suit because we feel there has been conspiracy to violate our constitutional right of free speech," Moran said.
Moran and another Klausman, Dennis Maloney, were scheduled to appear in JKHK's JayTalk 91 and in a journalism class two weeks ago. They will be by the faculty members involved after protests by the black community.
"The intent of the lawsuit is on behalf of the students. We want each student to get $10,000 for the violation of the constitutional right of free speech and for denying the right to ask us questions. We are also seeking an attorney with legal images, which would be placed in the student activity fund," Moran said.
Moran said that he was also seeking an opportunity to address the student body for the same amount of money. Farrakhan when he spoke at KU.
After the paperwork on the lawsuit is completed, the suit will be filed in the federal court at the Kansas City, Mo., courthouse. Moran said
Vickie Thomas, University general counsel, said that it was legal to file a
He said that the suit would be filed as the Missouri Knights and the John and Jane Does of KU versus the University of Kansas.
"We take every lawsuit filed seriously, but I don't worry a lot until the suit is filed." Thomas said.
Thomas said that anybody can file a lawsuit, but whether the suit had a chance of success was a matter of speculation.
"I am not aware of any rights the University has violated. It would be interesting to see the petition because you have to say what acts were violated and why those acts were violated," Thomas said.
Mike Kautsch, dean of journalism,
said that the threat of a lawsuit did
not mean anything until an actual
complaint was filed.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday that she would not comment on the threat of a lawsuit until the suit was filed.
However, Ramaley said that the Klan's rights were not violated because they were invited to speak in the classroom and not in a public forum.
"There has been no formal contact. I don't know the basis of their intentions or what they want," Ramaley said.
Moran said that his group wanted the right to free speech, and that he could achieve that right through the lawsuit.
"I believe we have a good case. I'm not doing this for publicity time. I'm doing this for myself, the Klan and the students," Moran said.
Moran said that his group had set a tentative plan for an unannounced visit to Lawrence and KU.
He said that the interview for the KJHK program was held last week off campus.
Russ Ptacek, Wichita junior, and host of JayTalk 91, would not confirm that the interview had taken place. He said, however, that an unspecified segment of the program had been completed, and that the program was expected to air after spring break.
Student films find attentive audience
At KU tinsel town
By Kevin Dilmore
Kansan staff writer
It had all the markings of a major film festival.
Audience members whispered among themselves when someone they had just seen on the silver screen, the stage to introduce the next film.
Screenwriters and editors stopped one another in the auditorium's lobby to make deals on their newest projects.
Fans and members of the press threw questions at directors and stars while mingling with the crowd.
But instead of taking place in Cannes, France or Hollywood, it took place in Dyche Auditorium Saturday night.
Each film shown had been made by KU students in the last year and a half, except for "Where is Yesterday," the student-made film about the Class of 1969.
There, about 100 people watched seven films at Student Film Night, sponsored by the University Film Society.
Tim DePape, Lawrence senior and secretary of the University Film Society, presented his film "Charlie Chaplin Escapes." It depicted a young man, uses inspired to live a more active life after watching Charlie Chaplin films.
DePaepe said he shot and edited the film in about two days. And the cost?
"I spent about $75." he said
Although the University of Kansas' department of film studies has acquired more equipment recently, it still does not have much equipment to offer budding student filmmakers. So students are forced to rely on their
own resources in every imaginable way.
Steve Roberts, Overland Park junior, stepped into the projection booth about 10 minutes before the festival started. He carried his Super-8 film "Drive" and its cassette-tape soundtrack in his coat pocket.
"Student filmmakers can't afford UPS," he said.
David Yonally, Overland Park sophomore, presented two of his films Saturday night. "The Chair" told the story of Dana, a young dental assistant terrorized by a mysterious man, its sequel, "Deadly Quot," told about Dana's boyfriend, Chris, and his encounter with a reclusive woman.
Yonally had mixed feelings about the evening.
"I'm very happy to be a part of it." he said. "But I'm real nervous."
Roberts said that after three public meetings of "Drive," he no longer owned a car.
"It makes me glad to get reactions," Roberts said. "But this was my first film. It's not nearly the kind of work I feel I can am capable of."
Although the night was meant to showcase new student work, part of the program was dedicated to the past. "Where is Yesterday" gave the audience a look back at the KU of 1968-69.
Many scenes in the film made the campus almost unrecognizable, such as those of a Vietnam War protest march down Jayhawk Boulevard, a team of soldiers at Hideaway and a capacity crowd for a football game in Memorial Stadium.
Before the final film was shown, Yonally said to the audience that he would be grateful for any suggestions made to student filmmakers.
"If we did something right, let us know. If we did something wrong, let us know. If we offended you, smack us," he said.
Three KU accident victims legally drunk,coroner says
Lab results released by the Douglas County coroner showed that all three KU students killed in a two-car crash Feb. 19 each had blood-alcohol content levels high enough to be considered legally drunk.

Kansan staff writer
Carol Moddrell, the coroner, said Sunday that Baron O. Schipp, 21, Wichita junior, had a 16 blood alcohol content. Schipp was driving the car that collided with the station wagon driven by Margaret E. Whitmore, 32, Lecompton, who was also killed in the accident.
Kansas statutes say it is illegal to operate a vehicle when blood alcohol levels are below 0.05%.
Lab results showed that Whitmore had no alcohol in her system.
Apprill and Selby were passengers Schilpps's car.
Paul T. Apprill, 19, Merriam sophomore, had a blood alcohol content of 19. Darin S. Selby, 20, Wichita freshman, had a blood alcohol content of 24.
Douglas County sheriff's reports released early last week said a cooler with seven empty beer cans had been found in Schipp's car. Four full beer cans were also found in the car, and three full cans were in the trunk.
The sheriff's office said the accidc occured when the students were returning to Lawrence after attending a high school basketball game in Valley Falls. Whitmore was on her way home from work in Lawrence.
According to sherrif's reports, the three students were traveling east on Douglas County Road 438, known locally as the "Farmer's Turnpike." Schlpp attempted to pass a vehicle on the left side of the two lane road.
Kansas fire sweeps across prairie acres
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — Dozens of firefighters worked for more than four hours yesterday to bring a grass fire under control after it spread across hundreds of acres of Kansas prairie, authorities said.
No injuries were reported. A four-square-mile area about four miles north of Hutchinson contained 600 to 900 acres of grass that burned, said Bill Walker, emergency preparedness fire service coordinator for Reno County.
"The most remarkable thing about it was we didn't have injuries or fatalities," said Walker, who estimated that more than 50 firefighters from five area districts helped fire the blaze.
A barn and a small outbuilding were destroyed, but the fire didn't reach residences in the area. Several residents were advised to leave their homes as the flames spread, he said.
