Kiosk, the University of Kansas' student literary magazine, will celebrate its 10th anniversary and its 20th issue with its release Thursday.
"I think visually it's very excit-
cated to the author, said he also liked the interplay of literature and design.
Throughout its 10 years, the magazine has received artwork from Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor of art; poetry from Luci Tapahonso, associate professor of English; and stories from late beatnik and Lawrence resident William S. Burroughs.
Doty said Kiosk's cutting-edge graphics made it different from other publications.
"I think it's been remarkably consistent," she said. "It's still going after all this time."
"It's unusual to have a design department and a literary magazine working so closely together," she said.

About 20 students made up last semester's Kiosk staff, eight of whom were involved with the design.

Anna Attkisson, co-editor of Kiosk, said the magazine also had contributions from Trey Parker, one of the creators of the Comedy Central cartoon show South Park, although she wasn't sure whether he had attended the University.

ing. I think they're doing some interesting combinations of text and images," he said.
Jenny Oakson, assistant poetry editor, said the high level of competition for space in the magazine was also good.
"It's kind of like you're seeing the cream of the crop," she said
This week's issue will have a cover displaying the covers from the previous 19 issues and also will contain a feature story on Patrick Dooley, assistant professor of design, two short stories, six poems and some artwork.
John Rockhold, co-editor of Klosk and next year's editor, said he had two goals as the magazine moved into its second decade.
The first goal was to increase the length of the magazine, while the second was to make the magazine more visible, he said.
"I think a lot of people unfortunately don't really know what it is," he said. "I hope that next year I can increase awareness of

Jeff Evans, Towanda senior, said he was glad Kiosk had school funding.
"It's good to encourage students' different interests in literature," he said.

she would not attend because she didn't think the votes would change
The board also will vote on a complaint filed by J.D. Jenkins, former Numaker senator. The complaint alleged that the recreation task force violated several elections code regulations, influencing the success of the student body referendum for a new campus recreation center. The board had ruled it was not in its jur-
Yesterday, Jenkins requested that the board not re-vote on his complaint because it would not hear new evidence.
"I had hoped to have an entire new hearing on this issue so that students could hear arguments from both sides on an issue, which will affect them for the next 20 years," he said in a letter to Watkins. "But having an open hearing to hear only the vote will serve no purpose."
Jenkins said he would try to add a provision to next year's elections code that would require the board to conduct open hearings, including evidentiary and deliberative phases.
"They're still keeping students out of the process," he said. "It's ludicrous. I'm very upset."
In addition, the board will vote on a complaint filed by Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator, which alleged that members of YOU were responsible for creating a brochure that
calumne Delta Force was ant-greek. The board had ruled there was not enough evidence to prove that the allegation was true.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he probably would not attend the vote because he did not think the results would change.
The board also will vote on several alleged offenses by YOU candidates, such as campaigning near a polling site and exceeding spending limits.

Commission approves aquatic center proposal
By Heather Woodward hwoodward@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The center will include a family pool with play features, including slides, a 50-meter lap pool with a diving area, a concession area and a multipurpose birthday room on its first level. On the second level, there will be a set of retractable bleachers overlooking the 50-meter pool and an observation deck that may be used as a warm-up space for swimming classes or as a teaching area. A breeway between the aquatic center and the small gym of Free State High School will connect the two buildings.
After a presentation of the building plans by Mark Belford, who

mously approved the plans without delay after there was no public comment about the project.
"Since I sat on the design committee, I'll make a motion to approve these plans," Kennedy said.
Belford said the family pool would be made safe for children of all ages.
"The play features will correspond to the level of water and the level of activity that kids of different ages can handle." Belford said.
The project will be built in two phases. This summer the Parks and Recreation Department will re-route the service drive around Free State High School to create
LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION
Last night the Commission:
Decided to transfer Kansas Department of Transportation funds from a resurfacing project on Sixth Street between Maine and Tennessee streets to a project later this year an Iowa Street because it was determined that Iowa Street was more in need of repairs.
Approved plans to build Southwestern Bell wireless antennas on top of a city water tower, 3708 W. Sixth Street.
Approved a staff recommendation to select Wilson & Company as the consultant for a traffic calming study on Louisiana Street from 17th to 31 st streets. The study was deemed necessary because traffic has increased by at least 50 percent in that area in the last three years;
access to the school once construction begins. The second phase will be the center's actual construction, which will begin later in the summer.
Tom Wolfe, who represented the Parks and Recreation Department, said the aquatic center should be finished by March 2001.
"We'll be ready to begin site work in the next few weeks," Wolfe said. "Then, in July, we will bid the construction of the center and begin building in August or September."
The project conforms with the city's Horizon 2020 plan, which addresses parks, recreation and open space and is a part of the city's comprehensive plan for parks and recreation. Both Horizon 2020 and the comprehensive plan aim at developing programs targeted especially at youth and teens.
The building plans will be available for public review in the lobby of City Hall, 6 E, Sixth St. Wolfe said there would be a public meeting in June for residents to voice their opinions about the building plans.
The center will be open to Lawrence residents, KU students, students in the Lawrence school system and swim clubs.
