Paramedics worked frantically to force oxygen into the gasping lungs of a small, silver-haired dog.
A Lawrence fireman cradled a second, seemingly lifeless form in his arms. He had carried the dog out of a smoke-filled house only seconds before.

Two other dogs lay dead inside an a bird lay dead outside, all victims of smoke inhalation during a house fire yesterday morning at 1126 Ohio St. No humans were injured in the fire.
Both dogs were taken to Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital where
Mary Feuerborn, the owner of the house, stood by the door to her home, upset about the deaths of her pets. Her son-in-law, Bill Bell, and her daughter, Sandy Feuerborn, tried to
console her.
They watched firemen emerge from the home with four more healthy dogs and 11 tropical birds.
Kate Warren, one of Freuerborn's tenants, said that to call her landlord an animal lover was an understatement.
Tenants Pete Signor, Lawrence freshman, Robert Beckett, Fort Walton Beach, Fla., sophomore, and Warren all said smoke from the fire filled the house very quickly.

He said the fire burned for a long time but never spread to the rest of the house because it did not burn
through a door that contained it.
Signor and Beckett said they noticed smoke coming out of a floor vent.
"The alarm went off and a minute later there was smoke in my apartment," she said.
KJHK promotional albums turn up in area record stores
By Sandra Moran
Kansan staff writer
Several promotional albums apparently belonging to student radio station JIKHK have been sold to Lawrence and Kansas City used-record stores.
"Most people don't get caught at it." she said.
The selling of promotional albums is a common practice but is illegal for stations to do, said Cathy Thiele, promotional coordinator for Columbia Records.
Anne Winter, owner of Dirt Cheap Recycled Sounds in Kansas City, Mo., said she had purchased several promotional records in the past two years from people who said they were from KJHK. The most recent case was from a man who said he was cleaning the KJHK music library by getting rid of duplicates and records no longer played at the station. Winter could not recall when this last sale occurred.
Kris Gillespie, KJKH music director, said he had no idea who would have sold records to Winter's store, although he was sure no one from the music department had.
"I know there are old records there that are five or six years old that were put in the stocks and stolen and sold," he said.
Gillespie said that he knew of one at KJHK who had sold records this semester and that whoever sold
the albums must have misrepresented themselves as employees of the station.
"Anybody can take records and take a magic marker and write KJHK on them," he said. "You can buy them at a used record store and write KJHK on them and say you're representing KJHK."
Last week, there were about 80 stamped promotional albums for sale at The Love Garden, 936 1/2 Massachusetts St., a used-store store.
Kory Willis, co-owner of the store, said he bought records from someone who identified himself as a former KJHK staff member.
Tim Mensendiek, KJHK general manager, agreed that the practice was illegal but said that he had no idea how station-marked records would have been sold to any used-record stores.
Two of these were marked with KJHK call letters, one of which still had the music review and classification taped to the jacket. The other promotional albums were not marked with call letters.
Thele said stations either could request or be solicited by record companies to receive promotional albums. The albums are marked as promotional and are to be used only by radio stations. They are not for re-sale.
Hall residents increase turnout
By Christine Reinolds Kansan staff writer
Residence hall voters this year more than tripled last year's hall turnout, Student Senate elections officials said.
But their resident-at-large ballots were not counted because of confusion about voting instructions that caused some residents of the scholarship halls and residence halls not to
'At one point we were looking at a stack of resident-at-large ballots eight inches high. It was at least triple to last year's turnout and most likely more.'

receive ballots, said Tom Poer, elections vice chairman. This year was the first year scholarship halls were allowed to vote for resident-at-large.
Eleanor Macnish, chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, said a total of 425 resident-at-large ballots were ordered for the 1989 elections.
"At one point we were looking at a stack of resident-at-large ballots eight inches high," Poer said. "It was at least triple to last year's turnout and most likely more."
Coin tosses break election ties
By Matt Taylor
"We ordered 600 ballots this year
Kansan staff writer
A coin toss in the Student Senate Office on Friday broke a tie between two students who ran for a seat on the Nunemaker ballot last week.
Christine Lynn won the coin toss against Dean Newton, allowing her to claim the seat. Jeff Morris, student body vice president, witnessed the coin toss.
Tom Poer, vice chairman of Senate's Election Committee, said coin tosses were being scheduled this week to break two other ties from the election. Jane Huesemann and Scott Phollen tied for an Architecture seat, and Kirsten Hoglund and Steve Randall tied for a Engineering seat.
Senate rules state that ties are broken by coin tosses, Peer said.
Poor also said 5,485 ballots can be cast for president/ vice president. Because of a miscalculation by the Elections Review Board, the figure was 31 fewer than reported Friday morning.
request a recount of the election ballots since the presidential/vice presidential race was determined by a 45-vote difference, said Eleanore Macnish, chairman of Senate's Election Committee. A final decision to recount could be made at Tuesday's board meeting.
"We'll probably recount them as a matter of course." Macnish said.
The board, which monitors student elections, may
Mike Schreiner, president-elect, and Aimee Hall, vice president-elect, both of the COU coalition, received 1,252 votes to win the election. Fast Break candidates Greg Hughes, president, and Pat Warren, vice president, won 1,480 votes, finishing in second place.
Because of some balloting problems, Senate will have 74 members next year, an increase of eight from this year. Mackinnon said adding more members would not add any extra costs to Senate.
The next Senate will have four additional Resident at Large senators, two additional Liberal Arts and Sciences senators, one additional Off-Campus senator and one additional Nunemaker senator.
and ran out by 12:30 p.m. on the first day of voting." Macnish said. "At least half of the votes cast were from the residence halls. Real Representation mobilized a lot of voters."
Poer said 400 additional resident- large ballots had to be printed the first day to accommodate the voters. More ballots were printed for the second day.
Aimee Hall, student body vice president-elect, said all of the coalitions made an effort to speak to the halls.
The resident-at-large seat, which is elected by residence hall residents, will be filled next year by all five candidates who appeared on the ballot because of the polling errors.
Hall said. "They felt more comfortable in voting."
"The voters were more informed,"
Hall said the coalitions attended staff and hall government meetings. Tables also were set up in the dining areas.
"Last year one coalition set up a table, but it fizzled out because only one coalition did it," she said.
