July 1989 Courtesy ol the University Daily Kansan Law professor resigns from KU Dario Robertson, first year associate professor of law, resigned his job in early July. A formal legal ethics complain was filed against him May 22 by two students of Haskell Indian Junior College. On March 14, the Indian Leader Asssociation had voted to keep him and Topeka lawyer Patrick Nichols for legal respresentation in its suit against the college government concerning publication of the student newspaper, Indian Leader. The paper had been suspended Oct. 28, 1988 when the administration froze it and student govern- ment finances. Robertson and Nichols on March 30, 1989 filed suit in federal district court at Topeka to block publication of what Robertson called a faculty version of the student newspaper. As of July, the suitwas unresolved. The complaint consisted of an allegation that Robertson acted with- out proper authority in the lawsuit by enlisting as plaintiffs students not previously involved with the newspaper. Robertson plans to move to Portland, Ore., to be visiting professor of law at Northwest School of Law at Lewis 81 Clark College. He said that he would return to Lawrence if needed to complete the suit.

'Deutsch double' Wins Wimbledon Boris Becker and Steffi Graff, both of West Ger- many, won the gentlemen's and ladies' singles titles at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, Eng- land. Becker defeated Stefan Edberg in the final 6-O, 7- 6, 6-4 after beating Ivan Lendl in the semifinals 7-5, 6- 7, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. Lendl has never won Vlhmbledon. Graf defeated Martina Navratilova 6-O, 7-6, 6-4 after beating Chris Evert in the semifinals 6-2, 6-1. Navratilova had been hoping to win a record ninth singles title.

American Greg LeMond wins Tour De France Greg LeMond overcame a 50-second deficit on the final day of racing to win his second Tour De France title. He bested Frenchman Laurent Fignon in the last-day time trial. Defending champion Pedro Delgado of Spain finished third, after starting late. LeMond had outpaced Fignon in both previous time trials, the first after which LeMond gained the yellow leader's jersey for the first time. LeMond's win was all the more remarkable be- cause two years ago, his brother-in-law, Patrick Blades, shot LeMond in the back on a hunting trip, mistaking him for a duck.

JAYHAWKER NEWS! August 1989 EPTUN RE Poland names new minister Poland again named a new prime minister. On Aug. 2, the Sejm, or lower house, had elect- ed Lt. Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak to succeed out- going Prime Minister Mieczyslaw Rakowski, who had been voted down in June elections. However, Kiszcza had been unsuccssful in forming a government. An alternative candidate was found in Tadeusz Mazowiecki, editor of Tygodrik Wyborczy lElection Weeklyl, a leading Solidarity newspaper. Mazowiecki had the backing of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and other government officials, and he was voted in rather easily. EALED Voyager 2 shows off rings, pink moon, ice volcano ln its grand finale, Voyager 2 showed features of Neptune never anticipated. As the realization of a 12- year dream, Neptune could not have been more pleasant. NASA officials began receiving signals from the ninth planet in early August. Speculation soon began about what appeared to be ring arcs. The closest flyby, only 23,900 miles away, occurred on August 25, and scientists confirmed that Neptune did indeed have rings, not simply arcs and notjust one ring, but many. Also confirmed was the existence of what was quickly dubbed The Great Dark Spot, after Jupiter's Great FiedMSpot. The Spot was a storm of immense size and intensity. In addition to this spot, scientists found another one, this one slightly smaller than the other. Pictures and data showed rapidly moving clouds pushed along by 300 mph winds on the planet. Data also showed that Triton, Neptune's largest moon, had geological faults, nitrogen and methane ice and an ice volcano second in size only to Olympus Mons on Mars. Data from Triton provided a mystery as well: The frozen water crust appeared to have been frozen and refrozen several times. What made Triton warm several times was not known. Scientists 1 speculated that the warming was caused, in pan, by T the moon's reverse orbit. T Also not clear were apparent criss-crosses on the polar frost cap of Triton. These streaks appeared similar to some found on Mars, but those were attrib- uted to windblown dust. T Voyager also discovered Eve new moons, one A pink. As it passed the outermost of Neptune's moons, it was recording pictures and data on its 4.5 billionth mile. lt would soon follow its cousin, Voyager 1, into space outside the known solar system. 1 What began as a keep-fingers-crossed risk ended 12 years and billions of miles later in a rewarding 1 flurry of activity. l Rose banned from baseball for life Yearly appeal possible On Aug. 23, baseball player Pete Rose was banned from the game for life. He had been accused of gambling, in particular betting on baseball and, sur- prisingly, on his own team. A six-month investigation and suits filed in state and federal district courts culminated in a settlement signed by Flose and Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti under which Rose would drop his suit against baseball and he would be eligible for appeal of the ban every year. Fiose had broken Major League Fiule 21, which forbids betting on games. He was the 15th player to be banned from the game.
