Student injures head in bicycle accident
A KU student was admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital last night after suffering a head injury on campus.
The student, whose name was not released, was riding his bike in front of Haworth Hall on Sunnyside Avenue. The student fell and hit his head, said Sgt. Tony Augusto of the KU Public Safety Office.
Another student was driving behind the cyclist and swerved to miss him, Augusto said. The driver avoided the injured student but ran over his bike. Hospital staff would not release details without a name.
Augusto said that the name of the student would be released after parents were notified but that he knew the student was admitted.

LAWRENCE
Chalupa caper trial date postponed one month
Dion Rayford's jury trial date was pushed back a month yesterday. His case was continued and will be tried in court April 17.
The 6-foot, 260-pound former University of Kansas defensive end is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and possession of
an open container. In November, Rayford attempted to force himself through a Taco Drive thrue window when restaurant employees left a chalupa out of his order, Lawrence police said.
In Division V court yesterday, Rayford and his attorney, J.C. Gilroy, moved to dismiss the open container charge.
Judge Paula Martin will decide on the motion on the
Rayford: Will be tried in court on April 17
trial hearing at 3:30 p.m. on March 31.
Depending on Martin's decision, Rayford will be tried for either two or three counts at 9 a.m. April 17 at Division V court.

Teen kills sheriff, dies in shootout in Hiwatha
Deputy Todd Widman had responded to a call Wednesday night from a motorist who saw a teen walking along a state highway in Hiwatha in northeast Kansas. The motorist apparently believed the boy was suspicious or was a runaway, Shoemaker said at a news conference.
HIWAHATH — A teen-age boy fatally shot a deputy sheriff and died in a shootout with officers who tracked him down, authorities said yesterday.
Widman was shot and radioed for help, Brown County Sheriff Lamar Shoemaker said yesterday. He died later at a hospital.
More than 50 officers converged on the scene in response to Widman's call. The boy was found a short time later near the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store, and fired several shots on officers before he halted. Shonayev said
A half-hour later, authorities cornered the boy in a field. He came out of nearby woods and fired on three officers, two of whom fired back, killing him, Shoemaker said.

Hate crime suspected in shootings of five men
WILKINSBURG, Pa. — An African-American man accused of killing two people and wounding three in a shooting rampage had anti-White writings in his apartment and singled out Whites during the attack, reassuring a Black woman in his path, "Not you, sister," authorities and witnesses say.
"The general tenor was that he wasn't shooting anybody but Whites," Allegheny County homicide Lt. John Brennan said yesterday as authorities tried to put together a portrait of Ronald Taylor.
On Wednesday, the 39-year-old jobless man reportedly shot a maintenance worker at his apartment building and four other people at two fast-food restaurants in working-class Wilkinsburg. All five victims were White men.
Police planned to bring hate-crime charges against Taylor in addition to the two counts of criminal homicide he already faced. The FBI also was opening a civil rights investigation.

Rescues, help continue for floodwater victims
MAPUTO. Mozambique — With a rescue helicopter hovering overhead and floodwaters below, Sophia Pedro gave birth to a baby girl in a treetop she had sought refuge in four days earlier, one of as many as 1 million people made homeless in this southeast African nation.
An hour later, Pedro and her daughter were rescued after a medic lowered from a helicopter pulled the two to safety. They were among 915 people plucked from the floodwaters in central Mozambique on Wednesday by South African helicopters.
Wednesday's rescue came as thousands more Mozambicans remained stranded in trees, on rooftops or on islands of land. Thousands more were feared dead in flooding that had devastated the country, one of the world's poorest.
With the arrival of more aid, relief agencies stepped up rescue flights and efforts to get supplies to people they could not rescue yesterday.

Kansas-Missouri feud causes bitter feelings
Continued from page 1A
And then last fall, Missouri had to pay for two silk Kansas flags that the Missouri football team trampled at halftime.
Benton Kelly, St. Louis senior, said she liked Missouri until she went to a Kansas-Missouri basketball game three years ago at the Hearnes Center in Columbia. She made the mistake of cheering for the Javahawks.
"They're all animals," she said of the Missouri fans. "Throwing things and yelling at me — being completely obnoxious. Those people aren't from my state; they must recruit from Arkansas."
The feelings are mutual.
"White trash living in trailer houses in a tornado-infested hole" was how Missouri sophomore David Chou said fellow Missouri students described Kansans.
"That's what's happened — it's just grown to incredible proportions," he said. "It started 100 years ago with important stuff like slavery, and now it stays alive through sports."
Indeed, the Kansas-Missouri rivalry has history that goes beyond sports and even the universities themselves — especially at the border town of Kansas City, where fans and alumni must live with the enemy, said Tom
"They're all animals. Throwing things and yelling at me being completely obnoxious. Those people aren't from my state; they must recruit from Arkansas."
Benton Kelly St. Louis senior
Hudgens, Kansas City. Mo., senior.
Office buildings become battlegrounds where co-workers blicker about how much their alma matres will win by and decorate the walls with their schools' logos, he said.
"The rivalry doesn't die just because you graduate," Hudgens said. "It gets pretty crazy at some of those businesses."
Sixty-five groups of Kansas students began camping at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday to see Sunday's feud first-hand. And although this rematch is in Lawrence, Missouri fans won't forget about the game.
"I'd love to see my last game as a Missouri student versus Kansas be a win," Huffmar said.
