Haskell students win rights to campus newspaper control
In Lawrence, the federal government settled with Haskell Indian Junior College granting biweekly Indian Leader exclusive editorial control to students. The paper had been silent over five months after covering a dispute involving former president Gerald E. Gipp. An ACLU suit, filed in March on behalf of the Indian Leader Association and nine journalists, argued administrators censored the paper. The settlement sets a precedent for First Amendment rights on federal campuses following a 1988 Supreme Court ruling.

County Commission Bans Nude Dancing in Wichita Taverns
Sedgwick County commissioners adopt a resolution banning nude dancing at taverns and clubs. Sheriff Hill cites that 93 percent of deputy calls to alcohol serving establishments involved nude dancing venues and 95.5 percent of related arrests occurred there. An attorney disputes the sheriff, noting alleged deputy justification. Wichita already regulates nude dancing with licensing, requiring an erotic dance studio license for such performances.
