The School of Journalism will host a reception tonight for Tavis Smiley, the host of Black Entertainment
Television's "Talk Night." Smiley will be in Lawrence to present the keynote speech for the Symposium on Recruitment and Retention of Students of Color.
Twister tournament to combat child abuse
Manny Lopez, coordinator for student recruitment and retention for the School of Journalism, said the school was playing host to the reception because it helped pay for Smiley to come to the University of Kansas.
Lopez said the reception was going to be very casual and would allow Smiley time to mingle with students. Smiley will not deliver a speech at the reception.
The reception is from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at the English Room in the Kansas Union.
The women of Kappa Delta sorority invite everyone to twist and bend to help prevent child abuse in Lawrence and nationwide.
Kappa Delta will hold the "Twister Tournament" at 1 p.m. tomorrow on the Allen Fieldhouse lawn.
Ryan Blethen
Eighty percent of the event's proceeds will be donated to the Lawrence Women's Transitional Care Services. The remaining 20 percent will go to Prevent Child Abuse America, the sorority's national philanthropy, for nationwide programs. Kappa Delta already has collected about $9,500 from flat donations, and members hope to earn about $10,000 total.
Cost of the tournament is $30 for a team of two or $25 if teams sign up at a booth in front of Wescoe Hall.
The regular Twister rules apply, and the games continue until one team from the winner's bracket and one from the loser's bracket remain. Winning teams will receive prizes donated from local businesses.
"It gets pretty competitive," said Erin Brown, Dallas senior and Kappa Delta member. "It gets bigger every year."

McCraagher said the candidates first would be given time to talk about the issues and then would be asked three or four questions.
This is the first year for the debate.
"It seemed like a good idea." McCarrager said. "Normally, KJHK is the primary source for elections returns, but we thought it might be a better idea to have them debate also."
This is the first year for the debate.

"I'm excited about it because it's a chance to get to meet other people who are doing the same kind of work in GTA unions
across the country," said Robert Vodicka, chairman of GTAC's communications committee and Lawrence graduate student.
The conference will bring together about 20 GTAC members and 20 to 25 union representatives from other schools, including the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois.
David Schonberger, Los Angeles graduate student and GTAC treasurer, said he was looking forward to seeing people he met at last fall's conference at the University of Michigan.

Allotment of new garage's spaces debated
Continued from page 1A
The decision came after Barbara Romzek, professor of public administration and government, suggested an alternative to the current plan for allotment of spaces in the new Kansas Union parking garage.
Under the board's current plan, 500 of the 818 new parking spaces would be metered spaces for visitor parking, 175 of the new spaces would go to students, 126 would go to faculty and the remaining 17 would be reserved for the handicapped. The cost for a parking pass to both the Union parking garage and the other parking garage on Irving Hill Road would be $175 and would not include access to other lots on campus.
Romzek proposed that instead of the $175 fee for exclusive rights to the garages, an across-the-board fee increase be implemented to all parking
passes sold. The fee increase would allow holders of red, yellow and blue parking passes and possibly holders of residence hall passes access to the parking garage.
The proposal met some resistance by members of the parking board, who feared that the garages would become storage lots for those who have cars and live in residence halls. It also was unclear to Council members how much of an increase would need to be implemented for the plan to work. Several council members expressed support for the idea, but felt that the proposal needed additional consideration and clarification.
Romzek said the proposal would relieve the pressure of finding a parking space at all of the University's lots by increasing the number of universally available spots.
