KANSAN STAFF WRITER
U. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is scheduled to become the 10th Justice to visit the University of Kansas on March 10.
Ten is a pretty good number for the University, said Webb Hecker, associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Law. Justices tend to visit East Coast law schools more often because they are seen as more prestigious and closer to Washington D.C., Hecker said.
"We've had more than our fair share considering where we're located," Hecker said.
McAllister worked as a clerk for Justice Byron White and Justice Clarence Thomas, both of whom have visited the law school, Hecker said.
Stephen McAllister.
Hecker said McAllister tried to invite a balance of Justice's. Ginsburg is a more liberal Justice and will present different views from those of conservative Justice Thomas, who visited in October, Hecker said.
But students have much to gain from visiting Justices, regardless of their political stance, Hecker said. Besides improving the reputation of the law school, the meetings give students a new perception of the Justices themselves, Hecker said.
"They get to see how impressive they really are, and they get to see that they're just regular human beings, too." Hecker said.
Ginsburg will give students a perspective on being the second woman to ever be on the Supreme Court, said Carly Farrell, Overland Park second-year law student. Farrell, who is also the president of the Women in Law organization, said Ginsburg was a role model for women.
"It's important to see someone who can balance being a wife, a mother and a lawyer and still be very successful," Farrell said.
Visits can help personify some of the material law students study, said Carolyn Porto Johnson, an adjunct lecturer in political science.
"They benefit by getting to see the person who writes the opinions that they'll be studying," she said, "and they'll be studying them a lot."
Between now and March,

Wall Street Journal bureau chief to receive award
— Joshua Bickel
The 55th William Allen White Award will be presented today at 1:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, said Sabrina Keidel, senior administrator for the School of Journalism.
The award ceremony is free and open to the public. Keidel said.
The award, presented annually to distinguished journalists, will be awarded to Gerald F. Seib, a 1978 KU School of Journalism graduate and Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, Keidel said.
Other distinguished recipients of the William Allen White Award include Walter Cronkite, 1969; Arthur O. Sulzberger, 1974; Bob Woodward, 2000 and Cokie Roberts, 2002.
Seib will also meet with journalism students and faculty and speak in journalism classes during his visit.
Sorority carnival to help fund Lawrence preschool
Kappa Kappa Gamma will hold the second annual "Kaw River Carnival" on Sunday to benefit Brookcreek Learning Center, a preschool for at-risk children.
The carnival will take place at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., from 1 to 5 p.m.
The carnival will feature a variety of children's games and activities such as a
Kacie Dienstbach, philanthropy chair of Kappa Kappa Gamma, said that Abe and Jake's was an ideal location for the event for its ample space the sorority will be to use. The Littleton, Colo., sophomore, said the sorority would donate the money from the carnival to the preschool. Delta Chi will also take part in the fundraiser.
"I think it's important that we're giving to an organization in Lawrence," Dienstbach said. "We will get to actually see the results of our donation."
moonwalk, a fishing pond and a lollipop tree.
"This is not just a Greek fundraiser," Dienstbach said. "I'm looking forward to the kids getting the opportunity to participate in the carnival."
Cost to the carnival is based on the amount of games that the children play. One dollar buys four tickets and that the average cost of a game is two tickets. Prizes, gift certificates, CDs and toys will be awarded for individual games.
"This event is for the children and the benefits are all going toward the children, so it all goes together," Dienstbach said.

Bomb threat deters Kansas City-bound flight
DANIA BEACH, Fla. — A bomb threat grounded a Midwest Airlines flight as it prepared to take off yesterday, but officials later said it was a hoax.
Flight 706, headed to Kansas City, Mo., had taxied out to the runway for a
take off when Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport officials received the threat.
The passengers and crew members and their baggage were being removed from the plane, airport spokesman Jim Reynolds said. Reynolds refused to say how the threat was made.

LONDON — Thirty years after their first romance, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, both now graying divorcees, will finally wed in a civil ceremony and put the official seal on a relationship Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her marriage to the man who would be king. In a nod to those who have not warmed to Parker Bowles, the royal family said yesterday she would never hold the title of queen but eventually would be called HRH Princess Consort instead.
