Temporary dean appointed for School of Education
Jerry D. Bailey was appointed interim dean of the School of Education. Bailey is currently director of the KU Institute for Educational Research and Public Service.
"Jerry is probably the best equipped person to keep the school moving forward during the search for a new dean," Provost David Shulenberger said.
Bailey will replace Dean Karen Gallagher, who has accepted the deanship of the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.
"I'm looking forward to it," Bailey said.
"It's going to be a busy, busy year."
"It's going to be a busy, busy year," Bailey said that during his tenure as interim dean he expected to focus on several major tasks, including putting into effect a new teacher education division, preparing the school for a state and national accreditation visit and completing the school's move to Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Bailey, who has directed the institute since 1997, said he expected an interim institute director would be named in the next few weeks.
Prior to directing the institute, Bailey was associate dean of the school for 14 years. He has been teaching at the school since 1975.

Wild forest fire season subdued with help of rain
DENVER — Firefighters have contained blazes from California to Colorado, and authorities on Tuesday said they've benefitted from good weather.
"We have had some moisture, the humidity is higher and temperatures have been lower so we are catching a break. There is no ignitions source," said Dave Steinke, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman in Denver.
A fire near Rocky Mountain National Park northwest of Denver was contained Monday night after burning 10,600 acres and 22 structures. Containment was expected Tuesday night for another blaze 35 miles southwest of Denver, which burned 10,500 acres and 58 structures, including 51 homes.
Rain drenched two lightning-caused fires in Saguaro National Park in Arizona and also helped firefighters contain a blaze in the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico.
The fire season across the country is already the worst since 1996, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Idaho. More than 46,000 fires have burned 1.26 million acres.
FBI memo best evidence in Branch Davidian lawsuit
WACO, Texas — Seven years ago, during the government standoff with the Branch Davidians, an FBI criminal profiler warned the on-scene commander about using force to end the siege.
If the FBI took "physical action" to end the confrontation and children died, Peter Smerick said in his March 7, 1993 memorandum to Jeffery Jamar, agents would be blamed even if they were not responsible.
On April 19, 1993, Jamar ordered the use of tanks to fire tear gas into the compound on to force out the Branch Davidians. A fire broke out six hours into the operation, destroying the compound and killing about 80 people.
Now, with the wrongful death law-suit filed by surviving Branch Davidian members set to begin, lawyers for the plaintiffs are hoping to use the information against the government.
"That's the best evidence we have from the government, period," plaintiffs' lawyer Jim Brannon said on the eve of Tuesday's opening statements.
The $675 million lawsuit consoli- dates nine civil cases filed in 1994 after the federal raid and deadly fire that burned through the compound
near Waco. The trial is expected to last about a month.
Fifty-eight die sneaking into Britain; two survive
LONDON — Police are hoping two survivors can help uncover who planned a disastrous immigrant smuggling operation in which 58 people died trying to enter Britain sealed in an uncooled truck on the hottest day of the year.
The two men were found dehydrated and traumatized, huddled in the Dutch-registered truck along with the bodies of their fellow migrants, thought to be Chinese, when customs officials opened the vehicle at the English port of Dover.
Police are eager to question the survivors, who have been moved from a hospital to an undisclosed police facility, Britain's Press Association reported Tuesday. Their location has been kept secret for fear they might be abducted or killed before identifying the agents who sold them their deadly, illicit passage to the West.
"If you were behind the organization of this, wouldn't you want to get to the survivors?" said Kent police spokesman Mark Pugash.
Horrified by the deaths, Britain on Monday launched a major investigation into the crime syndicates that illegally smuggle thousands of immigrants through the country's ports. Some pay up to $30,000.
Man lodges self in toilet, while retrieving lost keys
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. — Losing your keys into the depths of a portable toilet is bad enough. But one man who recently found himself in that situation only made things worse.
Authorities said the man had to be rescued after he got into the portable toilet to look for his keys.
Some kids playing at a nearby recreational field heard the man's cries for help last Wednesday afternoon and told their mother.
The woman then called police, who arrived in Lower Moreland Township
arrived in Lower Moreland Township — about a mile outside Philadelphia — and found the man stuck in the toilet's lower chamber up to his hips. The man, who was not identified, had taken off his shoes and pants for the unpleasant task.
He told police he had been in the predicament for at least 45 minutes. He was freed about 45 minutes later, after emergency crews destroyed a significant part of the portable toilet to get him out.
The man was treated for cuts and bruises. Doctors also had to remove the toilet seat, which had become wedged around his torso.
