KU student dies in one-car crash early Saturday
By Lisa Moss Kansan staff writer
A 21-year old University of Kansas student was killed early Saturday morning in a one-car accident on U.S. Route 57 near the Shawnee-Douglas County line.
Scott Tredway, Winfield sophomore, was driving east when his car left the road, hit a sign and went airborne over a driveway before Kansas on a ditch, a spokesman for Kansas Highway Patrol in Topeka, said.
Gale Trewaday, Mr. Trewaday's mother, said her son was a photographer for Flashback Photography in New York and from a work assignment in Toppea.
Mr. Tredway loved art and music and always wanted his friends to go to art museums with him, his friend Bill Heman, Highland Park, III., junior, said.
"He was an incredibly well rounded person," Hoffman said. "He was liked and loved by everyone he came in contact with. His friendships and the happiness of others around him were important things to him. He would do anything for friend or for anyone, for that matter."
Mrs. Tredway said her son intended to be a political science major. He was on the debate team in college, but he didn't do anything related to speech or debate.
Herb Johnston, Winfield junior,
went to high school with Mr. Tredwav.
"He was the most vibrant and unique individual I have ever known." Johnston said.
Heather Holdsworth, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman, described Tredway as a good person to talk to.
"He would always show you the bright side," Holdsworth said. "He wouldn't let you be upset. He would tell you, 'I am not going to let you be upset.'"
Todd Moen, Clyde senior, agreed that Mr. Tredway was a good friend.
"If there were a time that a tragedy would occur in life, Scott would be the one to talk to." Moen said of the attack, which hard that the tragedy concern him."
Fellow Templin Hall residents who knew Mr. Tredway were shocked by the death, said Nate Rinnert, Templin resident assistant.
"It makes you realize that you are not invulnerable," Rinnert said. "It makes you think of the kinds of things you never think about."
Residents who lived on Mr. Tredway's floor said he enjoyed photography and playing the guitar.
Edward Heck, a counselor at the University Counseling Center, informed Templin residents that the counseling center was available to anyone who wanted to talk about the death.
"We provide an outlet for them," Heck said. "When something like this happens, we try to be as unintrusive as possible."
Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Winfield First United Methodist Church. Mr. Treddle and his older brother and both his parents.
The details of the accident are still being investigated, the highway patrol spokesman said.

By Cory S. Anderson Kansan staff writer
Anticipation mounted as the audience of the 1989 "Express Yourself - Mr. Ebony/Ms. Essence Paget" waited several extra minutes Saturday night for the announcement of the winners.
"The scoring took a little longer than anticipated," said Sue Burtin, Kansas City, Mo., senior one of the nageant's announcers.
When the results were anounced, Marqueel Jordan, Kansas City, Kan, sophomore was crowned Mr. Ebony and Veronica Williams, Wichita sophomore, was crowned Ms. Essence.
About 300 people attended the pageant sponsored by the Black Student Union at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The contestants, six women and three men, were judged in six categories: prepared question, impromptu question, talent, poise, modeling and overall presentation.

"I feel really good about it," Jordan said about winning the competition. "The night went so on, I felt like I did well and everyone did well."
"I felt like everyone was really good." Williams said. "I couldn't believe they chose me over the other girls."
Williams is majoring in accounting and plans to go to law school. She said that she wanted to start
her own law firm.
Wilson said that half of the profits from the pageant would go to pay registration fees for BSU members attending the Black Student Government Conference.
Michelle Wilson, chairman of the pageant committee, said she was pleased with the event.
Court ruling could mean county must buy back bonds

Officials will decide this week whether to fight a court ruling that Douglas County commissioners exceeded their authority in issuing bonds for the South Lawrence Trafficway.
The Kansas Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision Friday, ruled that the county attempted to circumvent a requirement in state law that requires voters to approve bond issues used to finance arterial highwavs.
"A county cannot avoid the financing scheme simply by changing the designation of its proposed highway," said the opinion written by Justice Harold S. Herd.
The $4 million in bonds was issued in August 1985 to finance the county's share of the joint Lawrence-Douglas County project to build the trafficway. The proposed 14 mile, 865 million highway would begin east of Lawrence on Kansas Highway 10 and run around the south and west sides of Lawrence to link with U.S. Highway 40 and the Kansas Turnpike west of Lawrence.
The court did not indicate what action the county must take to rectify the situation, leaving the decision up to county commissioners. The county may have to buy back the bond issue, which would include paying the debt to the bank that made, no more funds raised by the bond issue will be spent, said Chris McKenzie, county administrator.
McKenzie said that only about $235,000 of the $4 million raised by the bond issue had been spent, mostly for an environmental study. The rest of the money has been invested and is earning interest, although state law does not allow it to earn more interest than the county pays for the bonds, he said.
County commissioners will discuss several options this week, which include holding a public vote, buying back the bonds and filing for reconsideration of the ruling.
"The attorneys working on the case will probably recommend to commissioners to file for reconsideration." McKenzie said McKenzie said that the county might file
McKenzie said that the county might file for reconsideration because there was information that the court did not consider.
A motion for reconsideration requests that the court justice reviews certain information, laws or precedents that may have been overlooked when making their original decision.
The county argued that the highway was a circumferential loop and was not covered under the state law that applied to county arterial highways. The county also maintained, and the district court and attorney argued, that the highway should allow counties to hold a vote to issue bonds but did not restrict them from issuing bonds under home rule powers, said McKenzie.
way and bypass, was improperly avoiding a public vote on the bond issue. Blevins lost in district court and the court of appeals before taking the case to the State Supreme Court.
The high court agreed that the county had discretionary powers to not designate the road as a county highway but said that the county still must hold a vote.
"This proposed highway qualifies as an arterial highway." Herd wrote.
If the county were to decide to build such a highway and issue general obligation bonds, Herd said, then state law would be the exclusive method to accomplish that end.
After fighting the county for two years and spending more than $5,000 on the lawsuit, Blevins said he felt that it was the best investment he had ever made.
Kansans awarded film Ozzi

Brad Jordan noted an improvement in yesterday's announcement. Film Institute's director
"The statues are getting better," he said. "The old ones were an old stick of wood with a plastic reel on top. Now it is a stick of wood painted black with a plastic reel on top."
But Jordan, who received the Ozzi award in the music video competition, said it was the honor that counted.
The Ozies, presented each year by the Kansas Film Institute, are awards given to filmmakers from, or connected with, the state of Kansas.
Besides handing out awards in 12 categories, this year's ceremony in Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., honored Bruce Linton, retired KU professor of journalism and radio and television.
Linton, the chairman of KU's radio/television and film department for 30 years, received the Life Achievement award as a television and film educator.
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, helped present the award. He summed up the feeling of students, co-workers and other admirers of Linton's work in one sentence.
"In the immortal words of Duke Ellington, 'We love you madly,'" he said.
Linton thanked the University of Kansas and his students for all the things he had accomplished.
"I am thankful, pleased and flattered," he said. "I don't think the fat lady has begun to sing at the KU program. They are still moving forward and making progress." The Grand Ozi, given to someone connected with Kansas who has made an important contribution to the NBC miniseries "Cross of Fire."
The miniseries was filmed entirely in Kansas and had 30 to 40 Kansans in the cast.
Search narrows for city manager consultant
Bv Dave Wakefield
By Dave Wakefield Kenson staff writer
A Liberty, Mo., management consultant probably will be hired this week to head up the search for a new city manager, a search that is expected to take from three to six months, city officials said.
The consultant, Robert Saunders, will address commissioners this afternoon at a 2:30 p.m. study session that will include discussion about the city manager selection process and the needs of the community Development Block Grant Advisory Board.
Mayor Bob Schumm said last week that commissioners had agreed at their last study session that Saunders was
Commissioners became acquainted with Saunders earlier this fall at a planning retreat.
Commissioner Shirley Martin-Smith said she favored Saunders because he was acquainted with the commissioners and Lawrence.
Saunders, a graduate of KU's city manager program, was a city manager for Bellon, Mo., and Liberty, Mo. during the 1960s. He spent 15 years on the faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he was associate dean of business and public administration and director of the Center for Management Development.
Saunders, who specializes in executive recruitment, said one of the important parts of his approach would be to develop a consensus among commissioners about what type of person they were seeking.
A profile of the successful candidate would be developed on the basis of a questionnaire and commission discussion, he said. Saunwers would use the profile to screen candidates to a field of 10 to 12 names, he said.
Other services would include advertising the position, recruiting desirable candidates, checking references and obtaining a copy of the resume.
Saunders would charge an hourly fee not to exceed $9,750 plus direct out-of-pocket expenses, according to a letter sent to commissioners.
