Student journalists win Hearst awards
Three KU students have won nation al journalism awards. Michelle Tuckner, Shawnee senior, Chris Borniger, Wichita junior, and Jessie Meyer, Burnsville, Minn., junior, won William Randolph Hearst Foundation Journalism Awards.
Tuckner won $600 for placing fifth in the broadcast news competition for three pieces she submitted, including one about a new homeless shelter in Tooeka.
Two Kansan staff members won for personality/profile stories. Borniger tied for 20th for his article about Rachelie Shannon, an anti-abortion protester convicted of the attempted murder of a Wichita abortionist.
Meyer also tied for 20th for a story about Paul Matthew Bryant, who then was a homeless man living in Lawrence.

The Student Senate media board allocated funding Sunday afternoon for next year. The University Daily Kansan and KJHK 9.0.7 each will get $62,275. KUJH Channel 14 has said it does not want funding so that it can remain independent of Senate, said Erin Daw, media board chairwoman.
J. D. Jenkins, CLAS senator and board member, said that KJHK and the Kansan had asked that their funding be split 50-50.

The third applicant, the Kaw Valley Independent, was given $5,500 because the alternative media board was disbanded, allowing alternative media sources to ask the media board for funding as well.

LAWRENCE
Two students cited after party blackout
A case of beer and a claw hammer started a chain of events Saturday that ended with Lawrence police issuing notices to appear in court to two KU students.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said a resident assistant at Naismith Hall saw one of his residents at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday carrying a 12-pack of beer toward his room, where he and his roommate were having a party. The RA confronted the resident about the beer, which is not allowed in public areas of the hall.
The resident refused to cooperate with the RA, Wheeler said, so the RA went to the utilities room and turned off the lights to the resident's room. When the resident returned to his room and discovered the power had been cut, he went to the locked utilities room and pried the door open with a claw hammer and turned on the power.
The resident caused $300 damage to the door. Police issued notices to appear on charges of criminal damage to property and disorder conduct to an 18-year-old student and a 19-year-old student, both Naismith Hall residents.
Police still investigating death of homeless man
Lawrence police are asking for help in tracking down the driver in a hit-and-run early Saturday morning.
An unidentified suspect struck John Lowe, a 38-year-old Lawrence transient, with a vehicle about 2:30 a.m. behind the Community Mercantile, 901 Mississippi St.
Police found Lowe's body in the gutter along Mississippi Street where an east-west alley meets the street. A preliminary investigation indicated that Lowe's body was struck in a north-south alley west of Ninth Street, dragged around the corner, and deposited where the alley met Mississippi.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said evidence showed that the vehicle continued north on Mississippi. Police do not know whether the hit-and-run was accidental or intentional and still are trying to locate and interview witnesses.
"It's hard to believe someone doesn't know something," said Sgt. Dave Anderson of the Lawrence Police Department.
Police are asking anyone with information about what may have happened to call CrimeStoppers at 843-TIPS.

needed to keep a man from destroying marijuana, but the man said officers violated the Constitution's Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures.
WASHINGTON — Taking on a police search and seizure case, the Supreme Court said yesterday it would decide whether officers could keep people from going into their homes alone while police got a search warrant.

Supreme Court to hear search and seizure case
The justices will hear arguments in the case this fall, and a decision is expected next year.
Illinois prosecutors said police
"Police should not be able to detain you and keep you from re-entering your own home," attorney Deanne F. Jones, representing Charles McArthur of Sullivan, Ill., said in a telephone interview vesterday.
However, assistant Illinois attorney general Colleen Griffin said, "There was probable cause to believe he had this contraband in his house."
The dispute began in April 1997 when two Sullivan police officers accompanied Tera McArthur to retrieve her belongings from a trailer home she shared with McArthur, her husband. When she came outside, she told police he had marijuana under the couch.
An officer knocked on the door, and McArthur came outside, denied he had drugs and told police they could not search without a warrant. During the two hours it took to get a warrant, police did not let McArthur re-enter his home except for a few times when an officer accompanied him and stood inside the door.
When an officer returned with a warrant, police said they conducted a search and found marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Navigation systems to be more accurate
WASHINGTON — Global positioning devices used to steer cars,飞 planes or find missing skiers and hikers will be given pinpoint accuracy previously available only to the military under an order President Clinton signed yesterday.
Until now, civilians using a U.S.-built network of satellites for navigation got a less accurate reading than the military out of fear that potential enemies could use the system to target missiles.
The military still will use an encrypted, highly accurate version of the system for guiding precision weaponry such as the missiles used in the Persian Gulf War and last year's Balkan air strikes.
"Police, firemen, emergency crews will now be able to respond more accurately to exactly where help is needed," said Neal Lane, the White House science adviser.
The change will make satellite navigation devices people already own 10 times more accurate, Lane said, and will not require the purchase of new machines.
The difference will mean satellite navigation can be used to track a missing person to an area about the size of a tennis court. Until now, the area of intense search would have been more like a football field.
