Chairman donates to Slavic collection
By Anita Meyer
Kansan staff writer
The Slavic languages and literatures department stands one step closer to a departmental library, thanks to a gift from department chairman Stephen Parker, a Watson Library official said Friday.
Parker recently donated a collection of more than 2,000 volumes of 19th and 20th century Russian literature to the library. The collection was part of one that belonged to his mother, Fan Parker, professor emeritus at City University of New York, Brooklyn.
"I've been accumulating a lot of her books over the years, and I decided now was a good time to honor her." Stephen Parker said.
He said the collection included important works by Russian authors Boris Pasternak, Alexander Pushkin and Feodor Dostoevsky and others.
Gordon Anderson, Slavic library director at Watson, said the collection was an important addition to the KU Slavic collection. He explained that as the collection grew, the department came closer to having its own library, rather than just a se
"I'ts an impressive collection," he said. "It 'tats a lot of very good works. Really, it's the quality of increase rather than quantity. It's really strong in its books on Russian art."
tion at Watson.
Parker said he hoped the collection would increase the studies of undergraduate and graduate majors in the Slavic department.
"Our enrollment is going up," he said. "We have 30 graduate students, and declared majors keep going up." I think a lot has to do with the increased interest in Russia."
Anderson said the existing Slavic collection was nationally recognized and had been designated one of 11 Russian and East European studies.
The program is in the second year of a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The Slavic department receives $180,000 each year and uses the money primarily to train professors.
"We've been building toward a departmental library." Anderson said. "The collection will go toward the establishment of one."
Rhodes trust names 32 scholars for 1989
The Associated Press
CLAREMONT, Calif. — A West Point swimming champion who is studying Chinese and plans a career in military intelligence was one of 32 Americans named Rhodes Scholars, the Rhodes Scholarship Trust announced yesterday.
The winners of the prestigious scholarship, who receive two years of study at Oxford University in England, were chosen in nationwide competition. On Saturday the trust is based at Poma College in Claremont.
Yale and Princeton each had four scholars, Harvard had three, and Georgetown, Kansas State University, had one. At West Point, N.Y., each had two.
This year's list contains 18 men and 14 women. Women have been eligible for the scholarship since 1976, and so far 154 have won it.
Martina Vandenberg, a 21-year-old International Relations major at
Pomona College, said she was the last candidate interviewed Saturday and thought it was "a lost cause" when she was not among four students called back for more interviews. An hour later she learned she had won the scholarship.
In Grand Forks, N.D., Mary Ellen Preston said she was "absolutely thrilled" that her son, Mark Sommerville, 22, had won a scholarship. Sommerville is studying electrical engineering and fine arts in a dual-degree program at the University of Texas at Austin.
The list of scholars has references to 25 states. But the candidate-provided address often is a residence for the academic year and does not necessarily reflect the home state of the Rhodes scholar.
Among the qualities sought in Rhodes scholars are proven intellectual and academic excellence, integrity, respect for others and the ability to lead and to use talents fully.
Friends call murdered couple caring, helpful
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Lester and Nancy Haley were the best of neighbors, always willing to join a party, do a favor or check on a friend. But their concern for a neighbor led to their deaths after they stumbled upon her killers, police said.
When Haley noticed Ida Dougherty's newspaper lying in her driveway last Monday, he and another neighbor, Verna Horne, wanted to make sure the 72-year-old woman was all right. They let themselves in with a key and an unlocked door. The lady had stayed in the house after burglarizing it, police said. Dougherty was already dead
A short time later, Nancy Haley became worried about her husband's absence and went to the Dougherty home, where she too, encountered a guaman. Hours later, the 69-year-old Nancy Haley and her 87-year-old husband, a retired architect, would be shot to death and Horne, 68, would barely escape with her life.
Tyrone Baker,19, was charged Thursday with murder in the deaths of the Haleys and Dougherty. His girlfriend, Lisa Ann Pfennsteil,18, was charged with murder for Dougherty's death. Both of them face a variety of kidnapping, burglary and robbery charges. They have not entered pleas.
"We've had three individuals who were the epitome of respectability all their lives," said police spokesman Lt. Bud Brooks. "All were professional people with good educations. And they were tragi-
cous, selfish and often dropouts who were going down the wrong track of life."
The suspects did not know the victims; the crimes were random acts of violence. Brooks said.
"They pickd out Dougherty's house by happenstance," he said. "It was a burglary. They had tried several other houses, and this one apparently was easier to get into."
The neighborhood where the victims lived falls short of wealthy but surpasses comfortable. Older homes wear holiday trim of red curtains and floral shades to reflect their owners' pride through fresh paint and tidy vards.
Colby Hamilton, who lived across the street from the Haleys, called them "good friends and good neighbors." They always do

what they could to help you out in any way," he said.
After breaking into Dougherty's house late Sunday night, investigators said the suspects robbed the retired real estate agent, suffocated him with a gas bottle her body in the trunk of a car before dumping it in Douglas County.
The two returned to her house and opened her wrapped Christmas packages and looked for others items to steal. They spent the night in the house and were surprised when the neighbors let themselves in to check on Dougherty the next day.
Phamnestiel said Baker drove the Haleys and Horne to the same area where Dougherty's body had been dumped. During the drive, Baker was able to find Baker $1,000 each to let them go, an offer he appeared to consider.
But Baker ordered them to lie on an embankment while he went to make sure Dougherty was dead, police said.
The three ran into the woods, and Horne volunteered to go for help while the other two hid. She found her way to safety, unhurt. But on Tuesday, the Haleys bodies were found by another least twice. Dougherty's body was found Wednesday, covered with leaves.
The two suspects were in custody Saturday; bail for Baker was set at $500,000 and Pfannenstiel's at $200,000. Police said neither has a criminal record although Baker is suspected since February and Pfannenstiel had a history of running away from home.
The Haleys, both widowed, were married in 1975. Retirement for them meant visiting neighbors, socializing with friends and, for Haley, playing golf.
"They were the model of family life," the Rev. Charles Erb said at the memorial service Friday at First Congregational Church.
"By the grace of God, they sat next to each other." Erb told the crowd of about 400 mourners. And on that fatateful day when the consequence bands as a sign of peace, "they held hands and the fell in love."
