Joseph Cirincione, director for Non-proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, is delivering a speech called "Proliferation Threats and Policies. 2005" from 3:30 to 5 p.m. today in the Pine Room at the Kansas Union.
"Our country is looking at things in a different aspect now," he said. "We care about our military people."
Chris said there was a lot of work left to do in Iraq, and the long-term goal was to give jobs to Iraqis and transfer power to the Iraqi military.
As part of the KU International Employment Seminar, professors Hannah Britton and Thomas Heilke are delivering a lecture called "Employment in the International Arena: Government, NGOs, and You" from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday in 318 Bailey Hall.
"We're going to leave eventually, and the Iraqi military is going to be the one to stay," he said.
The French film "Lautre Mond" (The Other World) is showing at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. Tickets are $2 at the Hawk Shop in the Kansas Union.

"The job before us isn't easy," said Chris, who lives in Shawnee with his wife and sons and is working toward his master's degree in International Relations at the Edwards Campus. "It's a marathon, not a sprint. I'm here to tell you first-hand, let there be no doubt among anybody in this group, it's a slugfest. That's the bottom line."
As part of their presentation, the Phelpses displayed photographs that depicted military life in Iraq better than words could. One showed a giant dust storm moving into Fallujah — "a tornado on steroids," Chris called it. One showed Kendall's bullet-hole-riddled station in Ramadi. Another showed a medical-waste dump the military had cleaned up outside a medical clinic. Others showed barefoot Iraqi children and dilapidated schools.
Kendall contrasted the American people's reaction to the war in Iraq with the Vietnam War, saying he often gets thanked for his service, which he said never happened 40 years ago.
After their speech, Kendall and Chris joined their family in the crowd,proud of their service and happy to be home.

John Wu, Taiwan graduate student, and Caitlin Daly, St. Paul, Minn., sophomore, participated in "Writing up a Storm," an afternoon of writing, revelry and refreshments Sunday at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. The activity was a fundraiser for Hurricane Relief and was sponsored by Concerned, Active and Aware Students (CAAS) and the KU Writing Center. Students walked around campus and wrote about what they observed, then gathered to read their poetry and stories.

After the Phelpses lit the lamps, a group of ROTC students carried them to the Korean War and Vietnam Memorials where they burned all night. They also placed a wreath and a bouquet of yellow
At the Vietnam Memorial, an Air Force ROTC cadet lifted a trumpet to his mouth and played taps slowly. The cadets took their posts, two at each memorial.
As Michelle Baatz, an Army ROTC member, stood silently at the Korean War Memorial at sunrise, she said she thought of friends and family who are in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Twenty years from now, when we're fighting another war, another memorial will be set up," the Lester, Iowa, graduate student said. "It's just the way history goes."

HEALTH
Clean arteries, go home
BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — It hasn't become quite as routine as having your teeth cleaned, but a growing number of people are going to hospitals to get their heart arteries unclogged and going home the same day.
New research presented Sunday at an American Heart Association conference suggests the approach is safe. It found complications were no greater in people who went home a few hours after having angioplasty than in those who were hospitalized overnight.
"Iinsurers are getting cranky" about hospital costs and will be enthused about ways to cut them, said Timothy Gardner, a Delaware cardiologist who heads the meeting committee but had no role in the research.
Patients, however, might not like being rushed out the door. Some may view it as the cardiac equivalent of "drive-through deliveries," where new moms are sent home the day they give birth.
Angioplasty is one of the most common medical techniques in the world. About 600,000 are done each year in the United States alone.
