Secrecy wasn't broken, IFC president says
The members of the Interfraternity Council judicial board who shared information with the Kansan last week did not breach secrecy requirements, said Chace Ramey, IFC president.
Walker: Thinks judiciary members should have kept quiet.
The IFC judicial hearing information regarding a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity party last summer was no longer confidential when it was disclosed because it had been addressed in general assembly meetings, Ramey said. Judiciary board
members revealed that during the hearing, Ben Walker, who was elected student body president last week, took responsibility for a party where unapproved alcohol was served and made several public apologies for the incident.
Walker said that he thought the issue was addressed only as a political strategy and that the judiciary members did breach their confidential ty pact. He said that there might have been confusion between the public and private hearings but the judiciary members should have erred on the side of secrecy.

Arrest warrant upheld in Burge shooting case
A judge upheld an arrest warrant Friday for the Topeka man accused of shooting a Kansas football player at a party in the Burge Union.
Bryon Kirtdoll, 22, is charged with aggravated battery in connection with the Jan. 23 shooting of Gregory J. Davis at a party sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Davis was shot in the hip and had to have his hip socket replaced.
On Friday, Jim George, Kirdtall's attorney, asked Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild to throw out the arrest warrant and the affidavit used to obtain it.
George disputed Davis' choice of Kirtdoll from a photo line-up because Davis had said he was only 80 to 90 percent certain of Kirtdoll's identity from the photo.
Fairchild denied George's motion, saying officials only need to prove identity with more than 50 percent likelihood.

The attack on the Luanda club came early vesterday mornine.
"People were running everywhere." Joaquin Dias said. "The dance floor suddenly emptied. There were people on the floor, others were being carried out."
New law to regulate Internet information
Sixty others were treated at a hospital after the rush to escape the fumes.
NEW YORK — Several Web sites are starting to revamp the way they do business with youngsters as they prepare for a new federal privacy law aimed at protecting children online.
The new law is meant to protect email addresses, school locations and other data that could expose children to marketers and molesters.
"Some businesses are responding out of panic and fear," said Dennis Lee, training director at IFsec, a security firm in New York. "They don't want to get caught doing the wrong thing."
The law is expected to impact hun-
Under the law, which takes effect Friday, sites that attract children under 13 must get parental permission before collecting personal information from those children, and they must disclose how they use the data
Some sites are finding it easier to stop asking questions or restrict minors from the sites altogether.
The club is named after the capital of the African nation of Angola. At least 500 people, mostly Africans, were inside at the time of the attack, witnesses said.
An employee at the club said the, canisters were set off inside the club, not thrown in from outside.
Sites attracting children under 13 must now obtain parents' approval. Consent by e-mail is often OK, but verification by fax, mail or a toll-free number is required when companies share data with marketers or post it on their sites. An adult's credit card number also is acceptable.
Police sources said the gas appeared to be pepper gas. Authorities thought the power was cut deliberately.
KINSHASA, Congo — The death toll from airport blasts rose to 101 as most rescuers ended the search for bodies in the hangar that collapsed during the explosions.
Blasts kill 101 Friday at airport in Congo
Kinshaas Gov. Theophile Bemba Fund announced the new casualty figures yesterday. The president called a period of national mourning after Friday's blasts at Kinshaas's N'Diii international airport.
Hospital authorities said 216 people were injured. About 80 of these remained in critical condition yesterday, Fundu said.
By the afternoon, all but a handful of Red Cross workers and other rescue volunteers were giving up the search through the collapsed hangar. The rescue workers said they were hampered by lack of tools, water and food.
Rescue officials had said Saturday that they feared 100 people were still trapped in the wreckage. It was not known how many people were still missing last night.
The reasons for the blast remained unclear. The explosions of fuel and army munitions shattered windows, topped buildings and flung deadly debris several miles away into residential neighborhoods.

Christian rock group popular with students
Continued from page 1A
As the concert begins, the students are asked to take a seat, but the jovial atmosphere doesn't diminish. Shortly after the students been seated, they are urged by the band to get up, dance and get down to the music.
When the band starts playing, the music easily can be confused with that of any modern rock band with the exception of its deeply religious lyrics.
DeTray said that musically, the band had a variety of musical influences from Dave Matthews Band to Bruce Hornsby. The group mixes contemporary worship music with original material members have written.
Christina Harms, Wichita junior, found Open Swim to be a positive experience. She said she worked in campus ministry and came at the invitation of a friend.
She said she enjoyed the exciting atmosphere Open Swim provided.
"It's so lively and awesome," she said. "There's no holding back."
Hockney said the ability to touch people
was the focus of the Pool Boys.
"We're trying to reach as many people in as many ways as possible with God's word," he said. "Tons of different people are all here with different needs. You can show your love of God in different ways — dancing, singing and throwing your hands in the air. God is doing awesome things. He's making it attractive for so many people."
DeTray said he was moved by the way so many students felt about Christianity.
"It's changed my life to see how God has changed so many hearts on campus," he said.
"We support any church that says the right things," Hockney said. "And puts an emphasis on Bible study, prayer and Jesus."
Though the three band members each come from different religious backgrounds, they said they didn't attach themselves to any particular church.
The Pool Boys said the band's priority was its message.
"After searching for religion," Clements said. "People are coming here and seeing other people who are in love with Jesus."
