Tieman said he requested the campus patrol because he likes working in a student area. The streets were clogged with pedestrian and auto traffic from the Art Fair, so we were stuck in stop- and-go traffic and couldn't go down State Street, South University, or Liberty. Tieman said he thought the size of the Art Fair has "gotten out of hand" in recent years. We stopped a skateboarder wearing a torn white t-shirt and brightly colored shorts because he was skating through traffic. Tieman told him that skateboarding in the street was a $25 fine, but lethim off with a warning. I noted that people treat police of- ficers with either friendly respect or total hostility. People looked up as we drove, and lots of little kids and some adults waved to us. Tieman said it really makes his day to see a little kid smile and wave to him after dealing with tense situations all the time. '4:20 p.m.: At Huron and Main St. Tieman decided to pull over a beat-up yellow Datsun pick-up truck for not having side-view mirrors. Before we were able to turn around and follow the Datsun, a lost fair-goer flagged us down for directions. (If the Art Fair brings anything to the police, it's lost people.) Tieman quickly gave direc- tions and accelerated to catch up with the Datsun that had pulled around the corner. The car pulled off to the side of the road immediately without a TV-like chase. Tieman ran a check on the driver, and found that he was "clean." He said he would either lecture a person or give them a ticket for a violation, but never both. This time, he lectured the driver for not wearing a seat belt and wrote a ticket for the lack of mirrors. S.

JUNEAU, Alaska (UPI) - The Alaska Senate called two more key witnesses, including another resigned * state official, yesterday in its con- sideration of impeachment charges against Democratic Gov. William Sheffield. Testimony on the fourth day of the hearings was sought from an ad- ministration official who announced his resignation last week and a political backer of the first-term governor. Sheffield, 57, a millionaire Alaska hotel magnate, is accused of having aides rig a $9.1 million state office lease so that Joseph "Lenny" Ar- senault, a chief political fund raiser and Fairbanks Union official, could win the contract. The Republican-dominated Rules Committee is taking testimony in Alaska's first impeachment hearing in its 26 years of statehood. A special session of the legislature was called to consider the charges. The full Senate, which is taking part * in the proceedings being televised across Alaska, will decide whether to send a motion of impeachment to the House, which would conduct a formal trial. ' ,
