What do you THINK?

What did you think of the intelligent design class?
> Ali Womack, Leawood freshman
"No, I don't think it should be taught as a mythology class because that makes it seem like a myth."
"Personally I think religion is a theory as to how the world was created, or came together or how life came to earth. Religion ... has no facts and there is no way to test it, so it would be wrong to teach it as a science, so the only way to teach it would be as a mythology or religion class."
- Rebecca Ralstin, Shawnee freshman
"All legitimate scientific fact justifies the theory of evolution. This idea is on par with the idea of mass religion denying the legitimacy of gravity. I don't mean to devalue Christianity, but there are a lot of religions ideas that are untrue."
Jonny Orlansky, Jackson,
Miss., freshman
"I think it should be brought up as a view at the same time as evolution, but not a lot of time to spend on it. It should be brought up in a scientific course because it makes people who believe in intelligent design happy."

Okla., sophomore

Mariah Carey's comeback may lead to Grammy nominations
NEWYORK - Mariah had a comeback year, 50 Cent dropped another multiplatinum album. Coldplay was hot and Kanye West beat the sophomore jinx. Gwen Stefani made us holla, Kelly Clarkson revealed in being free and the Black Eyed Peas celebrated those lovely lady lumps. But while a lot of artists combined for some memorable music this year, few dominated the music scene like in years past. So it's unlikely that one name will dominate the Grammy nominations on Thursday.
"I think Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani and Kanye West are going to be going at it for who has the most awards" says Steve Stoute, a former music industry executive who remains tapped into the scene through his company Translations, which links music superstars with commercial products. "They have songs that have song-of-the-year potential on their albums."
Freshmen face returning to rules

GOING HOME
College is a time for freshmen to experience living on their own, away from the rules of Mom and Dad. But as the semester comes to an end, some students are packing up and heading home to live back under their parents' roofs during winter break.
After living on their own, students often clash with their parents when they're expected to once again follow the household rules.
Tips on how to prevent conflicts with your parents
"It's kind of perceived as a power struggle," said Frank DeSalvo, assistant dean of students and director of Counseling and Psychological Services. "The issues are much more important than who's the boss at a certain address."
Schedule your activities and discuss any curfews
Stephanie Langley, Leavenworth freshman, said her first semester at the University of Kansas has allowed

She said partying with friends and staying up late goes against the rules her parents had for her when she was in high school.
her to do "pretty much whatever you want."
"It's kind of difficult to adjust," she said.
DeSalvo said the key to preventing arguments is communication. He said students need to discuss the changes they've made while in
college, whether it's a new smoking habit or a new religion.
He said parents get frightened when it seems their children are adopting new values. He said parents often show apprehension by getting offended.
He said there was a need to talk and learn. Parents shouldn't be frightened and students shouldn't get defensive, he said.
Kyle Begole, Wichita freshman,
said he wouldn't have that problem with his parents because he went home at least once a month.
His parents understand he's a college student and allow him the same freedom he has when he's on his own, he said.
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, said that because for the last four months students have made decisions on their own, they think they should be able to do whatever they want at home.
She said students needed to manage their time to allow time for their parents, as well as old friends.
DeSalvo said it's important to remember that students need their parents. But after students have been on their own, they no longer rely on their parents to fulfill their needs, he said.

Time to evacuate
Steam billows from Lake Vui in the volcano crater of Mount Manaro on the island of Ambae, part of the Vanuatu islands chain, this morning. Five thousand people living in the so called red zone have been evacuated to the coast because of fears of a possible mud flow if the lake wall bursts.

CAMPUS
Hall's story begins with student quarantined on Kaw River island
BY CHARISSA YOUNG editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Behind Watson Library stands Twente Hall. The current home of the University's School of Social Welfare, the building served the needs of physical health instead of social health when it opened in the 1930s.
In 1905, a University student became infected with smallpox.
Because there were no campus health services and the city hospitals weren't able to admit the patient, the student was isolated to a small cabin located on an island in the Kaw River. Students ferried food to the island, leaving it on a tree stump for the ouarintained student.
Although the student recovered from the illness, harsh criticism over the treatment of the smallpox patient sparked efforts to provide proper health care for KU students.
The Benefit Health Association was created because state funds were unavailable to finance student health services. Participating students paid a 50-cent fee for health insurance.
As diphtheria and typhoid fever outbreaks hit the University, membership in the health association increased rapidly, raising interest and support for a University hospital. The University approved plans for a hospital in 1908. The hospital, funded entirely by voluntary student fees, originally operated out of a rented home near campus and moved several more times before Elizabeth
Watkins remedied the situation.
An influenza epidemic in 1928 forced the University to close campus, proving the inadequacy of hospital care for the student body. Watkins, the daughter of a doctor, offered $175,000 to fund the construction of a permanent hospital on campus. Watkins Memorial Hospital, built in memory of her late husband, Jabez B. Watkins, was built on a site near her own home, which is now the chancellor's residence.
Constructed in 1932, the hospital's wings radiated from an art deco-styled central tower. The hospital's thirteen-member staff and KU Medical Center interns could treat up to 46 patients at a time. Examination, sterilizing, operating and dressing rooms along with the doctor's office were constructed on the ground floor, while the second and third floors were for patient care. Watkins chose furnishings for patients' rooms, including walnut beds with carved Jayhawk headboards.
As the population of students increased over the decades, the hospital became overcrowded and unable to adequately meet students' health needs. Construction of the current, larger Watkins Memorial Hospital was completed in March 1974.
Two months later, KU Chancellor Archie R. Dykes rededicated the former hospital as Twente Hall, honoring Professor Esther Elizabeth Twente, who founded the department of social welfare in 1946.
