Free beads: no strings attached
Kelly Hutsell/KANSAN
Abby Lough, Ellsworth freshman, and Kaylee Miller, Olathe freshman, collect leftover Mardi Gras beads. The girls found several strands of discarded beads discarded outside Wescoe yesterday that were used to advertise a Fat Tuesday party. Mardi Gras is the day before Lent. Those participating in the 40-day fast traditionally use Mardi Gras, which translates as "Fat Tuesday" in French, as one last day to indulge in their vices.

In previous years, the school has held a panel discussion for its diversity symposium. The panel was made up of members from the National Society of Black Engineers, American Indian Science and Engineering Society, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers.
Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programs at the school, changed the symposium for this year.
"We wanted to do something a little different because it was Black History Month," she said. "With so much emphasis being placed on our military, we thought it would be appropriate."

Money donated for play
The Lied Center received $20,000 to produce a play premiering in April, said Karen Christilles, Lied Center associate director.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in Mayetta donated the money, which will help cover production expenses for Ping Chong's play "Native Voices—Secret History," Christilles said.
Chong's play is based on personal experiences of Native Americans in Lawrence.
Native Americans from around the Lawrence community will perform in the play, Christilles said.
"This is one of the ways in which Native Americans and non-Native Americans in the community can better understand each other," she said.
The donation will also help pay for Chong to come to Lawrence in March.
During this time, he'll finish writing the script and begin rehearsals for the performances, which will take place April 28 through 30.
Chong will also conduct workshops and master classes for students at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University during his stay, Christilles said.
A Memorial service for former University of Kansas professor Philip "Flip" Kissam is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Coroner identifies body
The identity of a body found in a ditch near 1125 East Road and County Road 438 has been determined, according to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office statement.
The deceased man is Michael R. Gisi, a 34-year-old Topeka resident. Eric Mitchell, coroner, identified the body after an autopsy was performed yesterday.
The cause of death is listed as hypothermia and drowning. The body was found shortly before 5 p.m. Monday and was partially submerged in water. Cocaine and alcohol intoxication were possible contributing factors, according to the statement.
The manner of death does not suggest a homicide, said Lt. Kathy Tate, with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"Right now, there is nothing to indicate that foul play or suspicious activity was involved," she said.
Gisi had been in Lawrence Sunday night. While he was traveling back to Topeka, an argument took place and he asked to be let out of the car. His body was later found in that area.
Friends filed a missing persons report in Topeka when he did not return home the next day, according to the statement.
Once the investigation is complete, the report will be forwarded to the district attorney's office.
