An article in Friday's *Kansan misquoted Provost David Shulenburger. Shulenburger said the University of Kansas was the only Research I institution in the state, a special classification designated by the Cargiegh Foundation based on the number of doctoral degrees, study programs and federal funds a university has. The article also mistreated the number of University of Kansas Medical Center employees ranked in the top 25 highest-paid state employees. Twenty-two of the top 25 are affiliated with the Med Center.
An article in Friday's Kansan incorrectly identified the new vice president of the Senate Executive Committee. The position will be held next year by J.D. Jenkins, Nunemaker senator. The article also incorrectly stated the length of the final exams period next semester. Final exams are scheduled during a six-day period next year but will be reduced to five days beginning in Fall 2001.
The Kansan incorrectly reported Thursday that Carol Beiler, Kansas Court of Appeals judge, had represented William Koch, of Wichita-based Koch Industries. Beier actually represented Koch's brothers, Charles and David Koch, who are of Koch Industries.
The article "KU book collectors recognized" in Thursday's Kansan misquoted Sarah Hoskinson, Burton junior. She said she became interested in vegetarianism for personal and ethical reasons.

KU students to reuite with Hillcrest graduates
KU journalism students will honor at 5:30 p.m. today Free State and Lawrence high school graduates who attended Hilcrest Elementary School.
Hillcrest and one of the promotional writing classes in the School of Journalism began a partnership in 1987, when this year's high school seniors were in kindergarten. Successive classes of college students followed the Hillcrest students' activities and accomplishments through the sixth grade.
About 50 Hillcrest graduates have been invited to return to Hillcrest and reunit with their former elementary school teachers and meet with KU students who are in the promotional writing class.
The seniors will plant a tree in the Hillcrest butterfly gardens, leave hand prints in a concrete block and donate an item for a time capsule to be opened at a 10-year reunion.
"It will be a great opportunity to see how the students worked with older people," said Karin Borke, a Storm Lake, Iowa, sophomore who will attend the ceremony.

Suspect in killing spree had history of illness
PITTSBURGH — The man arrested in a killing spree that left three immigrants, a Jewish woman and a Black man dead had a history of mental illness and irrational fears that he was being watched, a former friend and his attorney said.
Police searching the home where Richard Scott Baumhammers, 34, lived prior to Friday's attacks also found a three-page manifesto indicating that he was trying to form a political party opposed to immigration, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
The document, which included Baumhammers' signature as chairman of The Free Market Party, advocated the rights of European-Americans and denounced immigrants from Third World nations, according to a prosecution source whom the newspaper didn't name.
Clinton proposes reforms in information sharing
YPSILANTI, Mich. — American consumers run too many risks as they unwittingly divulge growing amounts of personal and financial information, President Clinton said yesterday as he proposed reforms in the way banks, insurers and other corporations share information about their customers.
"From what I saw and from what I read, it seemed to advocate violence," the source said.
"No one should have to worry that the results of their latest physical exam can deny them a home mortgage or a credit card." Clinton said during a commencement address at Eastern Michigan University.
There are downsides to the interconnected web of corporations and services that make many daily tasks
easier for many consumers, he said.
Clinton: Said new technology shouldn't compromise privacy.
sad.
"In this information age we can't let new opportunities erode old, fundamental rights," Clinton said. "We can't let breakthroughs in technology break down the walls of privacy." Clinton's plan
would, in many cases, require a company to tell customers it was going to share sensitive consumer information such as medical and insurance records, or lists of what people buy and where they buy it.
Giuliani to stay in race despite cancer, aide save
NEW YORK — Rudolph Giuliani's campaign manager expects his candidate to stay in the U.S. Senate race because his prostate cancer has not spread.
"It's not only my hope, but my expectation, that he will run." Bruce Teitelbaum said. "Hopefully he'll pick a course of treatment that will give him a cure, a complete cure and then we'll be able to move forth aggressively, with a winning campaign. That's our hope, and I know the mayor shares my opinion."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said yesterday that he, too, saw the Republican mayor of New York staying in the race against first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"I'm confident that he will be back," McCain said. "The odds are overwhelming that he'll be fine and that he will be very active, and I believe he'll win."
very likely that McCain has offered to campaign for Giuliani while the mayor meets with doctors. But McCain said he's sure Giuliani, who was playing golf yesterday with his son, will be campaigning again soon.
Teitelbaum said the mayor won't make a decision on cancer treatment or the campaign for 10 days to two weeks.
WORLD Israeli-Palestinian talks aim for permanent peace
EILAT, Israel — Israeli-Palestinian peace talks resumed yesterday in this Red Sea resort amid bitter Palestinian protests about the disclosure that Israel intends to build 174 new homes at a Jewish settlement on the West Bank.
A trust-building gesture planned by Prime Minister Ehud Barak — handing Arab suburbs of Jerusalem to the Palestinians — was in doubt as hawkish Israeli Cabinet ministers said they would oppose it. Barak had hoped the handover would show that Israel was serious about the talks. Despite the tense atmosphere, negotiators ended the day's session with a group-collash in the hotel.
WORLD
U. S. Mideast envoy Dennis Ross was to join the negotiators Tuesday, and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was to visit the region in six to eight weeks to push along the lagging talks.
The negotiations are aimed at achieving a framework for a permanent peace between Israel and the Palestinians, along with agreement on the scale and location of the third and final troop withdrawal that Israel has promised to make. Negotiators are to remain secluded in a hotel until a recess Tuesday to mark Israel's national day of mourning for victims of the Holocaust.

Crackdown continues on Iranian reformists
Head of student group two newspaper editors interrogated, put in jail
TEHRAN, Iran — The head of Iran's largest reformist student group was jailed yesterday in a widening crackdown by hard-liners, who reportedly also are seeking to remove two top pro-reform Cabinet ministers.
All Afshari, head of the Office for Fostering Unity, was sent into detention after several hours of questioning by the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, said officials of the student group, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Associated Press
Conservatives in the Islamic clerical regime have during the past two weeks closed down 16 newspapers, arrested two journalists and questioned numerous reform activists in a backlash to preserve their power against the increasingly strong pro-democracy movement.
it was not clear if Afshari was charged with any crime. Judicial officials were not immediately available for comment.
Newspapers reported yesterday that the outgoing parliament, which is controlled by hard-liners, has summoned Culture Minister Atoailah Mohajerani and Interior Minister Abdolvahed Mousavi Lari, both leading supporters of reform, to face impeachment proceedings.
face impurement proceedings
The student leader Afshari and two newspapers
editors — all staunch allies of popular President Mohammad Khatami — were questioned by the court about their presence at a conference earlier this month in Berlin, where slogans criticizing Iran's religious government were chanted.
The editors — Ezatotallah Sahabi of Iran-e-Farda magazine and Hamid-Reza Jailaipour of the Asr-e-Azadegan daily — were freed after their interrogations. Both of their publications have been banned.
After his release, Jalaipour said the court told him that his participation at the Berlin conference was an act against Iran's security and that he had propagated against the Islamic Republic.
that he阶阶our said the men had tried to defend the ongoing reforms at the conference, but they were attacked by anti-government Iranians in exile.
On Saturday, the same court arrested two women reformists for attending the Berlin conference. A third woman activist, Jamileh Kadivar, the wife of Culture Minister Mohajerani, has been asked to appear in court today for questioning, Jalaiapour said.
"It's a strange situation. Abroad, we are attacked by anti-revolutionaries as agents of the Islamic establishment in Iran, and at home they attack us as agents of the enemies," Jalapour said.
A KU student's wooden door frame was damaged when a VCR was stolen between 8 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday from a residence in the 2500 block of West 31st Street, Lawrence police said. The damage was estimated at $50, and the VCR was valued at $40.
djalapour said.
Mohajerani has allowed the pro-democracy press to flourish since Khatami's 1997 election and narrowly survived an impeachment vote last year. Lari became Interior Minister after his predecessor, Abdallah Nouri, was impeached by hard-liners three years ago. Nouri is in jail, serving a five-year sentence on charges of religious dissent.
It was not immediately known when the impeachment process against Mohajerani and Lari will begin.
