Law oddities and ends cleaned up
By DONALD WILSON
Staff Reporter
Until six months age in Lawrence, living with a person of the opposite sex out of wedlock was illegal, according to the Lawrence city code.
That ordinance and about 20 others have been revived because the city has brought in a new police force.
Unusual laws seem to have flourished in Kansas.
Kansas was the place where, at one time, trains approaching each other were required to stop and not move until one had passed the other.
That one has been repealed, but others still exist.
FOR INSTANCE, it is unlawful to eat snakes in public, according to Kansas law. Also, candidates for office in Kansas can't give away cigars on election day.
City ordinances are also replete with bloopers.
In Manhattan, an ordinance requires that
the premise of a junkyard be kept neat and
clean.
The Lawrence City Commission has revised the city code to clean out odd laws, or Lawrence, too, would have some laughers.
Physical abuse of squirrels by humans is prohibited in Topeka.
ONE ORDINANCE that was repeated said, "No proprietor, employee or agent of any billiard hall or pocket billiard hall in the city shall permit or allow any child under the age of sixteen (16) years to work, leaf or latter in any billiard or pocket billiard pool hall at any time except when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian."
Another part of the same ordinance said it was unlawful to lock the rear door of any pool hall while the establishment was open to the nublic.
Most of the ordinances皱 by the city commission, however, weren't at all funny. Some were unconstitutional; others were vague or repetitious.
THE DECISION to revise the city code was spurned by a police speedup last
A speedup is a tactic occasionally used by police instead of a strike to attract attention to demands. Under a speedup, police will enforce all ordnances to the letter, attempting to flood the courts with irate citizens
summer, according to Mike Wildgen,
assistant city manager.
Wilden said the speedup attracted attention to some obsolete city ordinances, as did a Mobil Oil Corp. advertisement that warned residents of the shade carried bees in a hat on the street.
WLDGEN SAID that no such ordinance was in the code then, but that the advertisement nevertheless drew attention to the city code.
After these two events, Barkley Clark,
his commissioner, asked his staff to
be present.
unacceptable ordinances still on the books,
Wilden said.
Once the list was compiled, it was given to Wilden and Marilyn Harbur, Wichita law student, who was his temporary assistant for the job.
"She did the research on how to change
these children," the Widger said. "I
thought she did good job."
HARBUR SAID, "I was looking for bacon and anything that might be unconstitutional."
Wildgen said the changes had made the city code much more modern. The Kansas legislature, however, apparently hasn't decided to take this step vet.
So a Lawrence resident, if he wished,
could ill hat with bees and take a stroll
through the woods.
He just can't stop in a public place and dine on rattlesnake.
Four KU sororities silent about hearings
Four KU sororites won't comment on whether they will attend hearings later this month investigating possible racial discrimination in KU living groups.
The four sororates are Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Phi. They are included in the group of seven sororites who haven't been involved in the University Senate being conducted by the University Senate's Human Relations Committee.
The hearings stem from recent charges that a KU student wasn't able to pledge a loan.
Five sororites met with the committee last month. Three sororites, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta, said recently that they intended to appear at the events, which are to resume April 21, according to Cinda Ossess, Panilene president.
Jane Replegio, president of Alpha Delta Pi, and julie Jones, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma, wouldn't comment last week, but they would send representatives to the hearings.
still waiting for procedural instructions from its national office.
Mary Gajewski, president of Alpha Gamma Delta, said that her sorority was
Pankhellen sororities are required to contact their national offices concerning these matters.
Megan Johnson, president of Alpha Phi, said she wasn't aware that any more bearings had been scheduled. She wouldn't know whether her sorority would be represented.
A STATEMENT issued by the Panbellenie Executive Council said that a separate task force had been organized to examine discrimination within the Greek system and to develop communications with college students and members of KU sororities.
Mary Turney, chairman of the task force, said that the group, comprising representatives from six sororites, was meeting with all interested sororites. She said the task force wasn't focusing on racial discrimination alone.
"We're talking about how we ourselves have been discriminated against," Turney said. "We're exchanging ideas and learning to improve our relations with minorities."
Emergency changes urged
Contest offers prize of $200
Civil defense emergency programs must be revised if Douglas County is to have an effective Emergency Operating Center, Travis Bran, emergency preparedness director, told the County Commission yesterday.
The third annual student sculpture
content, offering a $200 grant prize, has
been selected.
The winner of the contest, sponsored by SUA and the office of the vice chancellor for student affairs, will display his winning certificate. Students from the Museum of Natural History for a year
The sculpture will be installed by the artist in the spring. He may then keep his work.
Plans and models should be submitted to the SUA office by May 1.
"We don't have a strong emergency center now," he said, "so we need to establish a revised procedure involving both city and county governments."
Bran said that the center, in the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center at 11th and New Hampshire streets, could handle an emergency now, but services and personnel weren't sufficiently coordinated to provide the best service.
"We are operating under a 2-year-old plan, he said," and it needs a lot of money.
In case of an emergency, such as a tornado, flood or bomb attack, a bad situation could be made worse without adequate planning, Bran said.
"For instance, in a tornado, he said, "all casualties couldn't be taken to Lawrence Memorial. We need a coordinated plan for evacuation and emergency first aid programs."
Bran recommended that the County Commission meet with representatives from other cities in the county to revise civil defense programs.

Guidelines have been drawn up by the Lawrence Police Department in response to reports two weeks ago that a Lawrence police officer, Tom Tschappat, was being lobbied almost full time before the Kansas Legislature.
The guidelines are expected to give city officials greater supervision and control of lobbying activities and would require that the activities be submitted to the chief of police.
Discussion of the county's plans for a 180-foot radio tower at the new Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Building, located on Brazos Street, has been deferred indefinitely.
