Daisy Hill residents investigated
Three law enforcement agencies are currently investigating two KU students suspected of making fake IDs.
Agents from Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, the Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspectors served a search warrant at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday at room 653 in Ellsworth Hall, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
The KU Public Safety Office only assisted the other law enforcement agencies with the execution of the warrant, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, confirmed that the residents were suspected of making fake IDs and said that the University was cooperating with the law enforcement agencies investigating the case.
Tom Groneman, director of Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said details of the case were not available because the case was still under investigation.
"The University applauds the efforts of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and its work in eliminating the production of fake IDs on campus," Cohen said.
Cohen said that the University could not comment on any disciplinary action being taken.

Law student, humanitarian dies from brain cancer
He created a Web site dedicated to raising money for cancer research.
He focused on how fortunate he was compared to those he was helping, even though Keenan himself was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Keenan, Ness City third-year law student, died Monday morning from cancer. He was 26.
He provided food and clothing to a girl in the Philippines through an adoption program. And recently, he donated money to tsunami victims.
People will remember him most for his motivation to beat cancer and to complete his law degree. Brown said.
Surrounded by friends and professors, a tearful Keenan received his diploma on Jan. 28 in his home in Lawrence.
Brown knew her fiancee had a limited amount of time left to live and was 13 credits short of a diploma, so she requested an honorary law degree for him.
"He said there was nothing more he wanted than to get his J.D. and to beat cancer," Brown said. "That was probably one of the happiest days of his life."
Andy Keenan wanted to help the unfortunate.
In addition to presenting Keenan with his degree, the law school awarded him the Outstanding Inspiration Award for faith, courage, strength and humanitarianism.

Class absences and hacking coughs have been common lately at the University of Kansas.
Briana McAtee, Wichita senior, has seen it firsthand.
"It went through me, then my roommates, then their friends. It all happened so quickly," she said.
The flu and other illnesses have taken the hill by storm. Watkins Memorial Health Center has signs warning the possible need to wear a mask while in the building.
Twenty-three cases of the flu have been confirmed at Watkins Health Center since the first day of the spring semester. Twenty cases confirmed at Watkins were Type A, the most common and easily treatable form of the virus, said Myra Strother, Watkins chief of staff.
"It's reassuring, and if this keeps up, we won't even have to give the test anymore." Strother said.
She encouraged students to watch for flu symptoms, and see a physician as soon as possible to get treatment. Proper nutrition, health care, and

Program gives voice to HALO issues

Last night nine students in the Hispanic American Leadership Organization hosted four University officials in the Collegiate Leadership and Development Program. The United States Hispanic Leadership Institute designed the program to get Hispanic students and University officials to discuss issues that affect Hispanics on campus. Paul Mason, assistant dean of the business school,
Hispanic students are speaking out and making a place for themselves in the minds of University of Kansas administrators.
The program is designed to take place in three-hour sessions during the course of seven weeks. Andrea Pantoja, president of HALO, wants to turn this program into a class.
"I hope we brought some ideas," Pantoja, Mission junior, said. "I was thinking a one-credit-hour class that would be beneficial for the leadership minor."
Shanda Hayden, academic adviser Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and Cindy Derritt, University registrar, attended the meeting.
One of the major issues discussed during the meeting was the growing number of bilingual students or students who have only Spanish-speaking
parents. Roney spoke of the need for bilingual employees and publications and she mentioned the use of offering Spanish-language courses for employees as more Hispanic students enroll at the University.
The students also asked Derritt about a bill that would allow undocumented students access to in-state tuition. She said the registrar's office wanted those students to be comfortable applying for in-state tuition without fearing their records being subpoenaed by the Immigration and Naturalization Services.
Other HALO chapters have had success with the CLDP program. Naureen Kazi, former president of the HALO chapter at Kansas State University, said
once the administration saw that they took the program seriously, the Hispanic community on campus was able to make a difference, because the university's administration would ask it for advice on what to do on Hispanic recruitment.
"Because of the program, some changes have happened through our members," Kazi said. "You don't see as drastic change that quickly."
In order to participate in the program students must sign a contract stating you will show up for six of the seven programs. Students must also be enrolled full-time at the University and a registered voter.
