Professor adds 7,000 albums to KU collection
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, and his wife, Beth, donated nearly 7,000 jazz recordings to the University of Kansas department of fine arts. The collection is valued at $164,600.
The collection joined more than 80,000 jazz and opera recordings housed in the Archive of Recorded Sound in Murphy Hall.
Stephen Anderson, chairman of the department of music and dance, said that Berg's contribution was a wonderful addition to the jazz collection because there were virtually no duplications from other works in the archives. Anderson said that access to the selection was limited.
Anderson said that because the collection contained rare recordings, it would only be available for research and certain academic purposes.
Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of the school of fine arts, said that having access to so many recordings that would eventually be extinct was a great resource for the University.
"We can read about these performers, but nothing can compare to hearing the music," Montgomery said. "As far as students are concerned, putting on a record will be a new experience for many."

Expert to discuss recent university legal cases
Robin Hubbard, executive director of the Center for Campus Free Speech, will discuss a controversial Supreme Court case at 7:30 tonight in the Walnut Room at the Kansas Union.
The case, Grebe v. the University of Wisconsin, involved two students who filed suit against the university for paying student fees that went to organizations that were against their beliefs. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court decided for the university.
In a previous University Daily Kansan article, Hubbard said she would give the audience background about the case and address the future of financing student groups.
"At this point, our stance is that mandatory fees should be acceptable." she said.
J. D. Jenkins, president of Templin Revolution, said Hubbard also would address a recent case at the University of Northern Colorado where the trustees stopped funding for political, ideological and religious activities.
"There are issues Student Senate face all the time." Jenkins said.
Templin Revolution co-sponsored the visit with the $1,080 speaker's fee financed by Student Senate. The lecture is free.

Legislators must trim $20 million from budget
TOPEKA — Legislators and Gov. Bill Graves learned yesterday that they have less money to spend and were thankful the state's financial picture was not bleaker.
New revenue estimates indicate that legislators will have to trim about $20 million from the spending they have already approved or adjust sales tax laws to decrease the gap.
But legislators working to resolve budget issues had worried that the new estimates for how much the state expects to collect over the next 15 months would be much gloomier, requiring them to cut as much as
$50 million in spending.
"I have said all along that we could manage our way through these budget challenges, and we are now poised to do just that," Graves said.

They are based on the assumption that the state's economy has not changed significantly and still will produce moderate growth in coming months.
The forecasters' meeting lasted
The group's meeting came the same day three senators and three House members worked on a bill financing most state agencies' operations for fiscal year 2001, which begins July 1.

Elian's father demands temporary custody
WASHINGTON — American diplomats in Havana issued visas yesterday to Elian Gonzalez's father, but Cuban officials he would call off his proposed trip to the United States unless he was assured of temporary custody of his 6-year-old son.
An attorney for the boy's Miami relatives, who were fighting to retain custody of Elian, said negotiations aimed at reuniting Juan Miguel Gonzalez with his son appeared to be breaking down without agreement.
About 200 angry protesters broke down a barrier and formed a human chain outside the Miami home where Elian has lived since he was rescued from a Thanksgiving shipwreck that killed his mother.
"Elian is not leaving!" they chanted. City of Miami Police just stood by and watched.
Elian's great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez said, "The government is going to destroy this family. We are only trying to protect this child."

U.N. official upset about Chechen cruelty
MOSCOW — Russia warned the international community not to middle in its domestic affairs yesterday after the top U.N. human rights official said she was shocked by accounts of killings and cruelty in Chechnya and urged Russia to investigate.
Mary Robinson, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov asked her to show a model for such a body. But Ivanov reminded her that Russia considered Chechnya an internal problem.
Russia is under increasing international pressure to investigate allegations that its troops in Chechnya have executed civilians, tortured detainees and gone on rampages of rape and pillaging.
The Council of Europe, the continent's top human rights body, is expected to vote this week on whether to suspend Russia for its Chechna campaign. Suspension would be a blow to Russia's image and its relations with the West.
Robinson said a three-day weekend trip to Chechnya and the neighboring republic of Ingushetia overwhelmed her with convincing accounts of abuses.
Come out and sleep under the stars at the Homeless Sleepout from 8 p.m. Friday to 6:30 a.m. Saturday at Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets.
