Bacchus membership low, events planned
Bacchus, a student group that encourages other students to make responsible decisions about alcohol use, has only five active members this semester.
Julie Francis, Bacchus faculty adviser, said that although the group always had tried to encourage students to participate, this semester the group had been involved in some heavy recruiting.
The group will meet at 5:30 tonight on the second floor of Wattkins Health Center. Francis said that anyone who was interested should attend.
Bacchus is helping to plan and organize the Protect-A-Sweetheart program for Valentine's Day.
"It is a sexual health campaign, and our group will be working to promote safer choices," Francis said.

Power trio Semisonic to play at Granada
The group's hit song Closing Time has been on heavy rotation on radio stations and MTV and is the first song on their latest album, which has sold more than 500.000 copies.
In the Oct. 17 issue of Rolling Stone, concert reviewer Noah Tarnow wrote: "The power that this band expresses live is not to be underestimated; Wilson and bass player John Munson deliver a two-fisted attack of volume and aggression, steel-cold guitar noise tempered by a shimmering tunefulness in nearly every song."
Tickets for the show are $1.3, and doors will open at 8 p.m.

LOUISVILLE. Kv. — A man whose left
Matthew David Scott, 37, of Absecon, N.J., had been using a prosthetic arm after he lost his hand in a blast from an M-80.
The operation began Sunday afternoon and was completed early yesterday. The hospital refused to disclose any information about the donor.
At a morning news conference, surgeons said there was an 80 percent or greater chance of a blood clot in the first 24 hours.
Last September in Lyon, France, an international team of doctors transplanted a hand to a 48-year-old New Zealand man in a 13-hour operation.
While surgeons have been able to reattach severed limbs following accidents for years, they had never been able to successfully transfer a limb from a dead donor to a living recipient.
Pope preaches to rich at Mexico City Mass
WORLD
MEXICO CITY — A day after ministering to the masses, Pope John Paul II reached out to the rich yesterday, celebrating a private Mass for bankers, politicians and other church patrons.
The Vatican also condemned the latest U.S. bombing raids on Iraq, just a day before the pope was to meet President Clinton in St. Louis.
At the Vatican's nunciate or embassy in Mexico City, well-dressed couples climbed out of luxury cars for the gathering, offering a stark contrast to Sunday's

exuberant Mass before an estimated 1 million people at a dusty, trash-filled auto racetrack.
On this trip, his fourth to Mexico, the pope has stressed the need to preach to both rich and poor. Critics have contended that in recent years, sectors of the church have swung too far toward a radical "preference for the poor" after favoring the powerful earlier.
ON THE RECORD
On the pope's trips abroad, he routinely holds private Masses for political and business leaders and church patrons.

KU campus visitors aided by new center
Continued from page 1A
Now that construction is complete, the Admissions Office's former location in Strong Hall has been filled by the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and the New Student Orientation Office.
Mary Ryan, director of New Student Orientation, said that the transition had gone more smoothly than she had expected. But she did occasionally see students walk in looking confused because they had been expecting the Admissions Office, she said.
"If we can help out just by answering questions or making a phone call, we do," she said. "Otherwise, a lot of students just reschedule the way they're going to plan that errand for the daver."
Admissions has promoted news about the move by including a notice in its high school newsletter and sending information to prospective students to try to minimize the number of people going back and forth, Cerveny said.
"The biggest thing has been educating current students." Rvan said.
Although the center is open and operational, some work will continue through the spring. The front lawn needs to be landscaped, and the exhibits need to be put together.
"We want this not only to be a focal point but a showcase for the University," Cerveny said.
