Arraignment set for 2 men charged in bomb planting
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A federal judge ordered one man charged with planting a pipe bomb under a KU security jeep held without bond until trial.
A second man, a 20-year-old student at the University of Kansas, was allowed to post $10,000 and was released in an order by federal Magistrate Judge Ronald C. Newman.
Arraignment was scheduled April 9 for Joseph N. Ceresko, Derby freshman, and John A. Bitker, 20.
They are accused of making a pipe bomb and putting it under a security jeep on the KU campus.
The two are charged with using explosives at an institution receiving federal funds.
A police officer found the bomb and moved it to a
nearby field, where it detonated before dawn Thursday, shattering a car windshield and a lobby window at Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
The officer found the bomb, which was equipped with a timer and battery, after he saw someone running from the jeep. There was no time to evacuate the nearby residence hall before the bomb exploded, said Lt. John Mullens of the KU police.
Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, said the school would aggressively seek prosecution in the case because of the number of bomb threats that had been received this year.
Mullens said the motive for placing the bomb underneath the car was not political.
Center offers enrollment help
By Sarah Davis
Kansan staff writer
For those students who need extra help planning their classes, the Advising Support Center will be available throughout the advising period.
Advising for Fall 1991 begins today, and the center, at 4017 Wescoe Hall, is open to all students who have advised questions.
"Some students just need more attention than a faculty member is in the position to give them," said Joe Garcia, associate professor of nursing at Weimar. "We're always here, and we can
provide that."
He said that the center was not meant to take the place of a student's adviser but, instead, both the teacher and the student should help the student make decisions.
"It's not an either/or situation," he said. "We think of ourselves as supporting the faculty members in their advising."
The center, open since 1983, helps students select majors, plan schedules and make sure they are on schedule for graduation. The center also provides the dean's stamp for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Nine people are on hand to assist students.
Manju Velathampalli, Colombo,
Sri Lanka, graduate student, is one of
those people.
She said she looked forward to advising because, as a student adviser, she could relate to students' questions.
"We understand their problems"
"We hampamphila said. 'That's one of the"
"problems we face.'"
Albanian elections end single party rule
TIRANA, Albania — Excited Albanians crowded polling stations yesterday for historic multiparty elections called after protests and desperate refuges from hardline Stalinism and isolation.
The Associated Press
The parliamentary vote, conducted less than four months after opposition parties were legalized, was described by Western observers as free but tainted by the incarnation of the media and government.
Some opposition leaders charged President Ramiz Alaz's ruling Communists with fraud and threat, but if the problems were widespread.
Genc Pollo, Democratic Party spokesperson, said he had received reports of police intimidation of Democratic Party candidates and supporters, unsealed ballot boxes and Communist posters and stickers on the walls of polling stations.
The official ATA news agency said 95 percent of the 1.9 million eligible voters turned out.
Lawrence's Salvation Army Safe House closes
By Lara Gold
Kansan staff writer
Although the Lawrence Salvation Army Safe House closes today, no one who has used the shelter will be forced out onto the streets, said the president of Douglas County's United Way.
"We are committing emergency funds to the problem of homelessness in Lawrence," said Sandy Praeger, president of the county's United Way.
The United Way has not committed money directly to the safe house, but the emergency money will help the
people who have lived there, Praeger said.
Praeger said the United Way had explored possible long-term solutions for Lawrence's homeless by turning agencies and cities for guidance.
The safe house is closing because it incurred a $70,000 debt and failed to find a stable form of support since it opened last year in January.
Praeger and about 50 people from the Lawrence community met at City Hall on Friday to discuss Lawrence's case. "We were very anxious," and the shutdown of the safe house.
Jeannie Blankenhapk, director of homeless services for the Lawrence Salvation Army, said she was disappointed that the United Way did not commit money directly to the safe house but was encouraged by the community involvement at the meeting.
Blankenship said temporary hous
"We are not going to throw anyone on the streets," she said.
Blankenship said that two families and four individuals were turned down by the safe house this week.
Bill Simons, a Lawrence resident who attended the meeting, said he did not understand why an affluent community like Lawrence could not come up with money for the safe house.
"The community should be challenged that there is a need for moral and ethical growth." he said.
The city is continuously giving tax breaks to businesses and spending money for city expansion, but not for
the homeless, Simons said. Simons is also coordinator for Project Acceptance, a support group that helps people with mental illnesses and tries to place them in housing after they are released from mental hospitals.
"Because of our affluence, we don't realize the problems we have," he said.
At the meeting, Simons said he would commit $1,000 from his church, the First Christian Church, to help the safe house.
Simons said the meeting should have raised awareness about Lawrence's homeless problem so that other people, churches and agencies would find a way to donate money to help.
