"We hope students use the Smartcard because we designed it for the convenience of students," he said. "It's easier to carry several bucks on a chip than 65 cents in change. We're not out to eliminate the possibility of using cash, we're just trying to make it easier to not have to."
Theresa Klinkenberg, University director who handles the Coke contract, said that the administration was working on reinstalling a change machine at Stouffer Place.
Eakin said that because the University received a percentage from Coca-Cola's sales, the administration had no preference about whether students purchased beverages with KUIDs or cash.
Mitchell said that Treat America did not have plans to remove its 13 change machines at other campus buildings and residence halls.
Chris Dalbom, SHAB member and Lenexa junior, said that Coke did not profit from change machines because they were low volume and high maintenance.
Edited by Chris Fickett
Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, said that the number of change machines on campus would decrease in the future because vending machines had the capacity to make change and because most students had new KUIDs.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost who handles the cash-to-card machines, which are used to put money in to KUIDs, said that because the University was in the customer service business, it would not make sense to eliminate one form of

Israeli air strikes hit Iranian-backed, Lebanese guerrillas
The Associated Press
Fears that Israel was about to embark on a bombing campaign kept crowds smaller than usual at the main market yesterday in Baalbek, a city of 200,000 located 60 miles north of Israel's border. Parents also kept their children home from school.
BAALBEK, Lebanon — Israeli warplanes roared overhead yesterday while Shiite Muslim fighters sealed off the remains of a former base that was destroyed by Israeli air strikes the night before.
In the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona, colorful balloons decorated the shopping mall, but the residents who would have been celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim were crowded in bomb shelters, fearing more fighting with Hezbollah Lebanese guerrillas.
The enormous fear of war that took over both sides of the border Sunday began after a roadside bomb killed Brig. Gen. Erez Gerstein and three other Israelis — including a journalist — in south Lebanon. Two rockets, fired over unidentified guerrilla wars in Lebanon, also hit an Israeli neighborhood, slightly injuring one woman.
the death of Gerstein, the highestranking Israeli officer killed in Lebanon since the 1982 Israeli invasion, prompted air strikes against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah guerrilla group.
Israel carved out a "security zone" in south Lebanon in 1985 to protect its northern settlements from attack. Hezbollah fighters are determined to force the Israelis out of Lebanon.
The Sunday night air raids did not result in casualties and the feared rocket attacks on northern Israel never materialized. No new Israeli bombing runs were reported yesterday, though sonic booms and the rumble of distant warplanes could be heard in Beirut, the capital.
Sakina Shreif, a 45-year-old mother of 11, said she expected more Israeli strikes. "Israel has not achieved its aims yet ... They want to kill people. So far, they did not," she said.
"I am not going to return home for now," said Shabshool, after her fifth-story apartment was damaged by missiles fired from Israeli warplanes.
Hala Shabshool, five months pregnant, moved with her husband and their two daughters to her parents' house in a safer neighborhood of Baalbek.
But the fear remained, especially since Israeli bombing campaigns in 1993 and 1996 killed more than 300 Lebanese civilians.
Hebzollah's second-in-command,
Sheik Naim Kassam, promised more attacks against Israeli forces and their allies.
"Targeting (Israeli) officers, soldiers and their militia allies on our occupied territory will not stop," he told reporters in Beirut, rejecting Israeli claims that Hezbollah had been seriously hurt by the air raids.
Streets were empty in Marjayout, the main town in Israeli occupied Lebanon. In several villages in the southern Bekaa Valley, residents prepared shelters and schools were closed.
Across the border in northern Israel, the army ordered residents of Kiryat Shmona into their underground shelters on Sunday night as a precaution against more rocket attacks.
Only a janitor could be found waxing the floor where a large party was planned in the town's shopping mall yesterday morning. What little activity there was took place in the supermarket, where residents hurried to stock up on supplies.
"My mother is too scared to come," said Boaz Michael, 17, checking his shopping list.
Checkout clerk Ayelet Elimelech moved the staples — bread, flour, sugar — along the conveyor belt quickly, anxious to return to the shelter where her in-laws were caring for her 9-month-old daughter.
"We can't withdraw from Lebanon, that would only make things worse," she said. "We need to be there, but we are definitely paying the price."
Military effort drives Albanians from homes as fighting continues
The Associated Press
DJENERAL JANKOVIC, Yugoslavia — Clutching red passports, four women in head scarves walked tentatively yesterday down the dirt road toward Kosovo's southern border with Macedonia.
With a glance at a male relative with stayed behind, they showed their papers to the blue-uniformed Serb police and were ushered through, some of the lucky few in recent days who escaped to safety.
Yugoslav forces have driven thousands of ethnic Albanians from their border villages in what appears to be an ominous military effort to control a strategic artery in Kosovo.
Troops and tanks have been massing at the border, and a bridge connecting Macedonia and Kosovo is mined — preparations either to prevent NATO forces from coming in, or keep diplomatic monitors and refugees from getting out.
Yesterday, refugees in the border town of Djeneral Jankovic described their flight from fighting between Serb police and the secessionist Kosovo Liberation Army.
"The Serbs drove their tanks "and around, teasing the KLA. So the KLA shot back," said farmer Ramadan Kalisi.
Rebels held a memorial Sunday to mark the event that started the war: Serb police killing 24 ethnic Albanians in retribution of the rebel slaying of two officers.
Kosovo's conflict started a year ago when Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic sent troops to crush ethnic Albanian rebels seeking independence. Kosovo is a poor southern province of Serbia, the dominant republic in Yugoslavia.
In a grim parallel, the KLA shot and killed a Serb police commander during fighting on the anniver
sary in Kacanik, a town nine miles from the Macedonia crossing.
Hundreds of refugees crowded the border road Sunday night, and many were denied entry into Macedonia because they lacked passports.
About 1,200 refugees have fled to Macdonald this week, with 3,000 ethnic Albanians sheltered in Djeneral Jankovic. U.N. official Fernando del Mundo said agency workers yesterday saw 500 refugees along the snow-covered mountains that line the border.
U. S. led talks on Kosovo ended inconclusively last week in Rambouillet, France, and Western powers fear scattered fighting could explode into full-fledged war before talks resume March 15.
The fighting has killed more than 2,000 people and displaced about 300,000, with the numbers expanding with the recent clashes.
As a result, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has asked former presidential candidate Bob Dole to help push the Clinton administration's drive for a peaceful settlement in Kosovo.
Dole, who agreed to talk to the ethnic Albanians, may also go to Belgrade to try diplomacy on the Serbs.
The Rambouillet talks centered on Kosovo autonomy, with a deployment of 28,000 NATO troops, including up to 4,000 Americans, to enforce peace.
