University gets anti-terrorism grant
The University of Kansas Medical Center will receive a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The grant — which will be disbursed over three years — will help the Medical Center continue planning a project called "Can It Happen in Kansas?"
— Travis Robinett
The project will plan emergency responses to terrorism threats. It will also train personnel and first responders. The first payment of the grant is $1.4 million. The amount of the next two payments will be determined at a later date. Dennis Minich, spokesman for the Medical Center, said determining how the money would be spent was a time-consuming process.The result of the last grant, which was for $2.2 million and given two years ago, was used for a large-scale disaster drill.
Ridin'in style
Event to highlight Israeli culture
Ryan Grinnell, a 29-year-old KU student, reported to Lawrence police that a person stole $200 in marijuana about 9:20 p.m. Sept. 28 from the 2000 block of Heatherwood Drive, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. Grinnell heard knocking on a door and opened the door to two people, one of whom appeared to have a gun, Ward said. Grinnell grabbed the handgun, which broke because it was not a real gun, he said.
The KU Israel Alliance and KU Hillel are sponsoring an event to inform students about Israeli culture. Israel on the Hill will feature booths to educate students on issues such as Israeli music, technology, youth culture and politics. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in front of Stauffer Flint Hall, between Watson Library and Wesco Hall.
Student reports marijuana stolen
Booths will also offer Israeli merchandise and Mediterranean food for sale and provide opportunities to donate to humanitarian organizations associated with Israel. John Benjamin, Lawrence junior and vice president of KU Israel Alliance, said the event was intended to show Israel beyond the ongoing conflict and would focus on more positive aspects of the society.
KU Hillel is a Jewish campus organization and the KU Israel Alliance is a student-run group that promotes awareness of the Israeli people throughout campus and in Lawrence.
A struggle ensued and some marijuana was stolen from Grinnell, Ward said. Police have not apprehended any suspects, he said.
"There's a lot about Israel culturally that just doesn't get any press attention." Benjamin said
Ward would not comment on whether Grinnell would be charged with possession of marijuana. Steve Lynn
Betsy Weaver, a volunteer at the Spencer Museum of Art, worked on the team for the Spencer at Work series. Recruiting such artists as Mike McCaffrey, right, was one part of her job. The Spencer at Work exhibit is a public display set outside of the museum each day displaying a different artist's work.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
- Wednesdays' The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "$1 million dollar grant possible," did not properly attribute a quote to Candice Davis, vice president of the Oread Neighborhood Association. Davis said, "We don't want to make it a blighted student ghetto."
CORRECTION
CLARIFICATION
- An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan needs clarification. In the story "Athlete sues over dismissal from team," Judge Robert Fairchild first ruled that the Kansas Athletics Department could not stop former softball player Jackie Vasquez from participating in practices and revoke her scholarship, after hearing arguments from the plantiff. The next day, on Sept. 30, Fairchild reversed his ruling after hearing arguments from the defense and said the department could stop Vasquez from participating in practices and revoke her scholarship.
