Two job titles were incorrect in the story "Long-time KU employee dies at Lawrence home" in yesterday's Kansan. Diana Faye Fox's most recent position with the University was assistant director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Karen Huettennmueller's position is assistant director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The source of two photos that accompanied the story "Speaker urges crowd to pull together, make University more inclusive" in yesterday's Kansan was incorrect. The photos were courtesy of University Archives.
the story "City police start strict enforcement of drinking" in Thursday's Kansan contained misinformation. It implied that the 12 underage drinkers cited by police on Feb. 3 were at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. Four were given notices at the Wheel; the rest occurred at other bars.

Historical case helps team to competition
A court case from the 1800s will take the KU Mock Trial Team to national competitions at Drake Law School for the third time.
The team has been performing the case since September.
Tara Kelly, Overland Park junior,
said the case from the 1800s involved two friends out drinking. One of the friends is later found dead,
and someone might have seen the other friend swinging at him with a shovel. she said.
"What tends to happen is you tend to learn more and more about a case." Kelly said.
"We don't even have a coach this year," Kelly said. "That's what makes us proudest."
The team will take 14 members to nationals April 14 and 15 where they will compete against about 100 other schools. Last year, the team went 3-5 at nationals.
The team placed third at regionals at Washburn University, falling behind Drake University and the Drake Law School.
Branden Bell, Tulsa, Okla., freshman, was awarded best witness at regionals for playing the part of "good old boy" police detective, Farewell Webb.
Kelly said rounds are won by points awarded, but that a verdict was often handed down for fun.

Conference to help shed light on medical careers
Students interested in pursuing a career in the medical field can learn more about medical school Saturday at the sixth annual Premedical Student Conference at Emporia State University. The University of Kansas School of Medicine will sponsor the conference.
"We have learned in the past that students have found the conference valuable in increasing their understanding of the medical field," said Sandra McCurdy, assistant dean of admissions at the school. "Our aim is not to discourage students, but to provide a realistic view of the medical field in a mass event."
Brian Van Norman, manager of the Office of Premedical Programs at the school, said he expected this year's conference to draw the largest number of students because of its central location and more advertising. Each year the location of the conference rotates. Last year it was held here at the University.
Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the conference will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The conference will begin with a presentation on admissions. It will be followed by 45-minute workshops about interviewing tips, ethics in medicine and other aspects of medical school and the medical field. In the afternoon, Ron McCoy, a professor at Emporia State, will speak about alternative medicine and the healing techniques of the Navajo Indians.

Spacecraft survives radiation bombardment
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Galileo spacecraft passed closer to Jupiter's fiery moon lo than ever before yesterday and survived the radiation bombardment without the computer shutdowns that disrupted earlier encounters.
A $10 fee is required and includes lunch. Registration forms are available at
The $1.4 billion craft, which has spent more than a decade in space, flew to within 124 miles of the surface of the volcanically active moon. The pass was 62 miles lower than a November flyby that was only partly successful because Galileo was walloped with so much radiation that its computer reset.
Flight data transmitted from the spacecraft more than 500 million miles to Earth showed no indication that Galileo was harmed this time.
"We don't see any issues, and everything seems to have been done fine," said Jim Erickson, Galileo's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Scientific data will be transmitted from Galileo over the next several weeks. Scientists will look at the data to see how to has changed since flybys in October and November.
Gallieo was launched in 1989 and completed its primary exploration of the Jupiter system in 1997. It is now on its second extended mission, but maneuvering fuel is running low, navigation equipment is failing and the probe has absorbed double the radiation it was designed to withstand.
The most dangerous encounters were saved for last to squeeze the most science out of the spacecraft.
