University administration delays OK of fall break
The University of Kansas administration has delayed approval of a calendar plan that would establish a fall break because of a change in the Board of Regents' deadline, Provost David Shu-
Shulenburger: Soya delay is because of a deadline change.
lenburger said. The Regents originally had requested that member institutions submit their calendars for 2001-2004 by March 1. University governing groups acted quickly in early February to approve a proposal so that it could be forwarded to the
board by the deadline, which would have been Monday.
"The chancellor and I haven't had a chance to talk about it yet," he said.
But Shulenburger said Monday the Regents had moved the deadline to June because some universities were having trouble meeting the March 1 date. He said there had been no decision yet on the University's part to approve the calendar.
chance to talk about it yet," he said.
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, confirmed that the deadline had been moved back.
"We have more time than we thought we did," she said.
The calendar plan would create a two-day break in mid-October, guarantee a two-week intersession in January and shorten finals week from six to five days.

Kansas City may get first woman mayor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Businesswoman Kay Waldo Barnes and mayor pro tem George Blackwood will face off in Kansas City's mayoral general election March 30.

"It's very exciting for me," said Waldo Barnes about being the second woman to advance to the general election. "I feel ready for the challenge."

Blood test can reduce colon cancer death rate
NATION
WASHINGTON — A simple screening test for blood in the bowel can reduce the death rate from colon cancer by up to one third, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, a study says.
The finding, to be published today in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute, is prompting a national campaign to encourage people older than 50 to take the test because they account for most of the 56,000 U.S. colon cancer deaths each year.
Minnesota researchers monitoring the health of 46,000 volunteers since 1976 have found that those who take the fecal occult blood test each year have a 33 percent lower risk of death from colon cancer than people who do not take the test. Those tested every other year have a 21 percent reduced rate of colon cancer death.

Eight tourists murdered in Ugandan rain forest
KAMPALA, Uganda — Eight tourists tracking rare mountain gorillas were killed and six others were rescued after being kidnapped by Rwandan rebels. An American survivor said yesterday that the rebels brutally hacked some victims to death with machetes.
In Washington, State Department spokesman James Foley said two Americans were murdered as they were being marched away by their captors. The remaining six victims were killed the same way, he said.
Mark Ross, a tour operator and Arkansas-born pilot who has spent years in Africa, told reporters the rebels rounded up tourists from several jungle camps in southwestern Uganda. Ross said he was taken captive but was freed later with a political message from the rebels.
Foley said the victims could not be identified until their relatives were notified. The six released hostages were returned to Kampala and taken to a safe location, he said.
