which is not far from Amsterdam. Temple also plans to spend her next year studying overseas. In a few years, there will be openings for carillon positions all over the world, and Temple's goal is to hold one of them.

Having a carillon on the KU campus is unique because there aren't more than 200 carillons in the world. Morrissey and Temple both agreed that the uniqueness of the instrument inspired their desire to play it.
"I like how great the sound is." Morrissey said. "The quality is not something you have with any other instrument."
Many people also don't know that there is an actual instrument inside of the campanile, and most students believe the bells and music are all mechanical, Morrissey said.
She also said that when she and Temple have talked about playing the carillon, students have been intrigued. They've asked questions with much interest and are usually surprised that there's not more publicity on it, she said.
"The carillon is not only important because it's a memorial." Morrissey said, "but because it's part of our school's history and a part of our college experience. It sounds every 15 minutes."

Mexican culture hits the big screen
MULTICULTURALISM

The Mexican Cinema Club's purpose is simple — to showcase cultural expression from Mexico in the form of film.
Antonio Moreno, Chiapas Mexico, graduate teaching assistant, started the club more than two years ago.
"Usually, the people who
attend are students in the Spanish department, Spanish professors, as well as people who are interested in Mexican culture," Moreno said.
Club members watch films in Spanish subtitles from Moreno's personal collection, which he has built from his trips back to Mexico.
Recently, members have watched "Japon," "Nicotina" and "De la Calle."
"The films discuss the aspects of the 'new Mexico,' including the violence, drugs, changes in family life and the ecological problems Mexico deals with," Moreno said.
Isabel Guilleumas, Salmanca, Spain, GTA, said she attended the club's meetings because it was a way to see films that were not normally shown in the United States.
"The movies really show the current Mexican culture, which I like to know about," she said.
She said she liked the atten
tion the club brought to Mexico and has attended film showings since the club started.
Moreno said he would try to bring back more comedies from his next trip.
change and an attraction to more students.
He said most of the films the club showed were dramas and comedies would be a welcome
"I think students will relate to the comedies better," he said.
About 20 to 30 people come to the meetings each week. The club is open to everyone and normally meets at 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays at room 4057 in Wescoe Hall.

Smoking
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
If the commission approves an amendment to allow an employee smoking break room at Hallmark, Rick Renfro said he hoped his bar would also be allowed to create such a room for customers.
Retro said.
Business owners said that even though the commission did not approve the amendments right away they were satisfied that things were progressing.
For customers Renrof said his business. Johnny's Tavern, 401 2nd St., had three separate rooms with different ventilation systems. He said air was exhausted outside the rooms by negative air pressure, the same way as the employee break room at Hallmark.
"Customers should be allowed to go into a room and smoke if it's ventilated." Renfro said.
"The employees they're trying to protect are all smokers," Renfro said.
"This is a step forward." Neverve said. "There are always concerns with the ordinance but we're trying to make efforts to comply and still maintain business."
Renfro said most employees at his business wouldn't care about a smoking room.
Nelsen, a non-smoker, said having a smoking room in a bar would bother him. But a smoking room could attract more people to bars and improve business, he said.

Sign

At that point, Wymore told Schwandt that the sign was their property. He was then escorted out of the arena, Wymore said in an interview.
least get a refund," Wymore said.
While outside with Schwandt, Wymore said he was told that he was ejected for trespassing because his ticket had been revoked. Wymore said Schwandt failed to offer any further explanation.
"After thinking about my next move, I told him that since my ticket was was defective I was going to buy a new one or at
least get a refund," Wymore said.
He said he didn't get a foot into the door of the box office before he was arrested.
Kaufman and Green were later told by Schwandt that Wymore was charged with criminal trespassing and was being held at Boone County Jail, according to Kaufman's complaint.
They returned to the arena to watch the first half of the game before going to bail their friend out of jail. Kaufman's complaint said.
A witness of the altercation also filed a complaint.
Barry Lewis, father of a University of Missouri student,
said he was afraid Kaufman was going to fall over a nearby railing during the altercation. That was when he got up to intervene.
When he got there, the head of security had already arrived. Lewis said that rather than mediate the situation, the police went after the students with threats of being arrested and kicked out.
"I thought they were going to take care of the old man because he was creating the problem, but they never asked any questions," Lewis said.
Lewis said the KU students were respectful, never spoke out of turn and complied with
Watring's wishes for them to take the sign down.
"My initial complaint was with the policeman who never attempted to get all of the information," Lewis said. "Until I found out it was the police chief who assaulted them."
Lewis is in the process of writing a letter to the vice chancellor to be sent today.
"As a tuition-paying parent, I wanted to let them know I wasn't at all pleased and I had lost all confidence in the campus police department," he said.

Nursing
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Danielle Rose, Olathe sophomore, didn't let the shortage discourage her hopes of becoming a nurse, either. She was recently accepted into the KU School of Nursing and will begin in the fall semester. She didn't apply to other universities because she didn't meet some of their prerequisite requirements.
"As much as the shortage sucks now, in the long run you're guaranteed a job as soon as your graduate," she said.
The Kansas State Nursing Association wants the the Kansas Board of Regents to provide more money for nursing schools.
Public universities with nursing schools that are funded by the Regents are the University,
Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University, Wichita State University and Fort Hays State University. The Washburn University nursing school is private, so it is only partly funded. Kansas State University does not have a nursing school.
The Kansas House of Representatives recommended program expansions in all schools earlier this week. Expansions would increase enrollment capacity by 250 for each fully-funded school.
The recommendation will be prepared in the House Appropriation Committee Report on higher education, Terri Roberts, executive director of the Kansas State Nurses Association, said.
For three consecutive years, the nursing association has presented work force shortages to the Legislature, Roberts said.
Roberts urged the Regents to use a "dedicated funding stream" when allocating money to university programs. She recommended that the Regents provide more money to programs based on need, rather than equally distributing the funds among all programs.
"Someone at some time has to say, 'Hey, you know what? We need to put more money into nursing.'" Roberts said.
But while the House debates expanding the nursing programs in higher education, the KU School of Nursing is left with a funding shortage. Clifford said the school has given thought to differential tuition, but has yet to implement this idea.
