"I don't anticipate any opposition," Baxter said. "As far as the Eudora township goes, they just want improvements in the road. They may throw that up in their (the count commission's) face."

"In essence, we've drawn attention to the area," Baxter said. "They're pretty much using us as a political scapegoat."
Baxter is referring to improvements to East 15th Street, which is in need of better traffic flow. He said area residents were worried about added traffic the game would draw.
If approved, the game would represent the realization of a childhood dream for Baxter and Skulburstor, who went to high school together. Baxter graduated from KU last year, and Skulburstor graduated from Kansas State.
"it's kind of like a childhood fantasy," Baxter said. "We both wanted to represent ourselves in our own business, and with the advent of paint guns, we figured, 'What a perfect way to do something we enjoy and make money at it.'"

Local campaigns cost less than others races in state
By Barbara Joseph
Local candidates in the recent election did not follow a state trend toward higher campaign expenditures, officials from the Kansas Public Disclosure Commission and the Republican party said yesterday.
Kansan staff writer
"We have seen, generally speaking, an increase in spending and money received by candidates," said Carol Moyer.
Current records of state campaign expenditures cover the period between July 24 and Oct. 29. Final figures could change because the reports on campaign expenditures for state seats are not due until Dec. 10.
winnans said most campaign advertising blitzes began about a week before the general election.
Williams said both Republicans and Democrats spent a lot this year because they wanted their own people in the state Legislature to battle with reapportionment. Reapportionment is one of electoral districts, which could affect representation.
In some race states, parties tried to outspend each other to capture or maintain a seat, Williams said.
local candidates, however, didn't match up with the higher spending trend. Part of the reason was the lower cost of advertising in Lawrence than in Topeka or Kansas City. Kan.
Cathy Whitaker, executive director for the Kansas Republican Party, credited the state's mark increase in campaign spending to more serious candidates and greater contributions by political action committees.
She also noted that spending by local candidates was low.
"I think a lot of the candidates did more door-to-door campaigning and that local newspapers covered them better," Whitaker said. "It's also different in a university
town because there are more opportunities for candidate forums and debates. Candidates can draw a crowd without using expensive media."
No one was available for comment at the state Democratic headquarters.
candidates for state senate in the 2nd and 11th districts spent more than $2,100 from the primary to the general election. According to commission reports for the 2nd District from July 24 to Oct. 29, Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, spend $19,979.77, and Democratic candidate Mike DuPree from Lawrence spend $2,709.38.
"That's pretty low spending," Williams said. "Some candidates spend $50,000 to $60,000. Winter spent about as much as a State House of Representatives candidate."
In the 10th District, Sen. Jim Allen, R-Ottawa, spent $3,674.88, and Democrat contender Walter Myers from Baldwin spent $1,846.35. Williams described both figures as very low.
State representatives for the 44th, 45th and 46th House Districts spent more than $22,000 between July 24 and Oct. 29. In the 44th District, Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, spent $11,512.67. Her challenger, Republican Renee McGee of Lawrence, spent $679.63.
In the 46th District, Rep. Betty Jo Charlton.
In the 38th District, Rep. Robert J. Bulkenger
in the 19th District, Bernie Norrie, spent $4,841.18
For the 45th House District, uncontested candidate John Schobh, D-Lawrence, spent $700.
Campaign expenditures from Jan. 1 to Oct. 19 of candidates for U.S. Representative for the 2nd Congressional District totaled more than $800,000, said John Renning, electronic information officer for the secretary of a office.
Reinhart said Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Topeka, spent $246,576, while his Republican challenger from Topeka, Phil Meinhardt, spent $63,997.
KU receives four-star rating
Bv James Farquhar
Kansan staff writer
The 1989 Fiske Guide to Colleges says KU can compete with more expensive schools in areas including "excellent faculty, strength in a variety of disciplines and a shortage of campus parking. KU's not perfect, but it's been winning the battle against mediocrity for years."
The University of Kansas has received a four-star rating from a widely circulated college guide, which said some of the Midwest's "best and brightest" are turning down invitations from prominent Eastern schools to attend KU.
This is the second year KU has received the four-star rating, said Robin Eversole, director of University Relations.
Five stars is the highest rating.
"They update their guide every two years," she said. "This is the same description and rating they gave us last year."
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said such positive ratings made the school look good.
"Reports like this one get your name in front of people who might then become interested in coming to
The guide, edited by Edward Fiske, New York Times education columnist, grades schools in academics, social activities and quality of life. To reach his evaluations, Fiske sends questionnaires to universities across the country, Eversole said.
KI received four stars in all three categories
Oklahoma University received three stars in the three categories, while the University of Nebraska-Lincoln got three in academics, four in social activities and three in quality of life. The University of Missouri-Columbia received two stars in academics, four in social activities and three in quality of life. The University of Colorado-Boulder received three in academics and five each in social activities and quality of life.
