Study Abroad office to hold fair at Union
Students bored with the scenery and the people in Lawrence can visit the fourth floor of the Kansas Union today and talk with representatives from more than 20 summer study abroad programs.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for the office, said the fair normally attracted a lot of students.
"The traffic is usually pretty steady," he said. "This fair is different because it only focuses on the summer programs offered by the University."
The University sponsors 26 summer programs in 17 countries including Nice, France; Tunis, Tunisia; and Nepal. Many of the programs, including the ones in Great Britain, are conducted in English.
The KU Summer Institutes are accepting applications now.
Wiley said the fair would help students decide if study abroad was the right choice for them.
"Some students come by to just check out their options," he said. "Others know that they definitely want to do it, and this is the first step in their path."
The fair will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

Three men arrested for battery of student
Three Wichita men were arrested last weekend after allegedly battering a KU student, Lawrence police said.
Some of the passengers got out of the car and beat him, he said.
The victim, a 20-year-old male student, said he was walking in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street when he encountered a BMW convertible with four or five men inside. When he yelled at the driver of the car for almost hitting him, the car stopped, he said.
The suspects said they had met the victim earlier at a party. They said the victim struck one of them, starting the fight on Massachusetts Street.
The victim was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released.
The suspects fled the scene but were arrested by the Kansas Highway Patrol on the Kansas Tumpike. The driver of the car was arrested on counts of driving while intoxicated and false writing. Two other suspects were arrested for aggravated battery.

Roman Catholic church burns, arson suspected
STOCKTON, Calif. — A suspicious fire heavily damaged a Roman Catholic church, and a swastika was
painted on an outside wall
The Stockton Fire Department responded to a fire at the Church of the Presentation following a Mass on Sunday evening. Authorities were investigating it as a potential hate crime as well as potential arson.
The two-alarm blaze caused extensive damage to an altar and a classroom area, burning pews and laminated beams. The classroom was destroyed and much of the main church sustained water and smoke damage, said Stockton Fire Department Battalion Chief Pete H
A Spanish-Language Mass had been completed in the church about an hour before the fire was discovered, officials said. While the fire was described as suspicious, candles were used during the service and haven't been ruled out as a possible cause. Klein said.
A freshly painted swastika and other graffiti was found on a wall and on a statue in a garden area.
Officials said the church hadn't received any threats or hate mail before the fire. The church likely will be unusable for at least a couple of months.
Service held for man slain in Xerox shooting
HONOLULU—In a simple ceremony that made far more mention of how he lived than of how he died, Melvin Lee was remembered as a family man whose talents ranged from cooking to karate.
A crowd of more than 1,000 overflowed from the Nuanuan Memorial Park chapel on Sunday to remember Lee, 58. He was the first of seven men slain in Tuesday's Xerox Corp. shootings to be laid to rest.
"Sometimes, when someone such as Mel and six others are allowed to be killed, we wonder, 'Where is God?' the Rev. Christopher Eng of Waipahu United Church of Christ told gatherers. He urged mourners to find comfort in
their hair and to celebrate Lee's life.

Missing girl found dead in rural Kansas ditch
OSKALOOSA — A teen-age girl, who disappeared after being let off a school bus at her home Friday afternoon, was found dead early Monday, and a man was being held in connection with her death.
Jefferson County Sheriff Roy Dunnaway said the body of Zetta Camilla Arfmann, 14, of rural Oskaloosa, was found about 2:30 a.m. in a ditch about three miles northwest of the city. He said it was covered with dirt and trash.
An autopsy showed she had been shot. Dunnay said.
The sheriff said a 25-year-old Oskaloosa man was taken into custody after the body was found, but he had not been charged. The county attorney's office said it did not expect to file charges until Tuesday.
WORLD
Ex-dictator to move, house arrest continues
LONDON — Gen. Augusto Pinochet is to move from his rented country mansion at the end of the month, and associates of the former Chilean dictator have asked police if a seaside location would be suitable, the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
Pinochet, 83, has been under house arrest since October 1998 on a Spanish warrant seeking his extradition to face trial for alleged human rights abuses during his 17-year rule.
The lease of the house he is renting in the upscale Wentworth Estate, 20 miles west of London, ends this month, the Telegraph said.
Associates of the general declined to say whether the landlord had refused to renew his lease, or if Pinochet had decided to move, the newspaper said.
A new home for Pinochet must be approved by the magistrate who set his bail conditions and by police.
In signs of a possible way out, the Chilean government said Friday that Britain has agreed to order new medical checks, if Pinochet agrees, to decide whether he should be sent home on humanitarian grounds.
Pope tries to bridge gap between denominations
TBILISI, Georgia — Pope John Paul II took his drive to build new bridges with the Orthodox Church to this former Soviet republic Monday, but his initiative appeared to meet resistance.
On a visit that pointed to the difficulty in reaching his goal of closer links among Christian denominations, the pope was greeted by Georgian Orthodox Patriarch Iilia II and President Eduard Shevardnadze on his arrival from India.
They embraced the pope, and the pope and the patriarch later appeared in the 11th-century cathedral walking down the center aisle shoulder-to-shoulder.
But in his public remarks, the patriarch failed to follow up on John Paul's call to move for renewed fraternity between the denominations.

Judge rejects Gates' testimony, may affect punishment ruling
WASHINGTON — The judge behind the blistering ruling against the Microsoft Corp. didn't question the honesty of Bill Gates outright, but he rejected almost every explanation of events offered under oath by the world's most famous billionaire.
The Associated Press
The lack of faith that U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson showed in Microsoft's trustworthiness could hurt chances for a less severe punishment, so crown for a settlement offer.
The judge could order remedies up to and including a breakup of the company in the next phase of the case, unless a settlement is agreed to in the meantime.
In one of its most sensational claims during the lawsuit, the Justice Department said Microsoft quietly met with software rival Netscape to illegally divide the market, a charge Gates called an outrageous lie.
The judge called the offer an effort to persuade
Netscape to structure its business in a way that would prevent the company from distributing platform-level browsing software for Windows. He didn't buy Microsoft's version of events throughout his ruling.
"It's clear he didn't think they had much (credibility)," said Marc Schildkraut, a former Federal Trade Commission official who questioned Gates during negotiations with Microsoft in the early 1990s in the FTC's antitrust investigation.
Microsoft declined to comment on inferences that the judge didn't find its witnesses truthful.
