them all." Dwyer said.
De Klerk was first elected to the South African parliament in 1972, working his way up to several ministerial posts, including telecommunications, environmental planning, internal affairs and education. In 1982, de Klerk was elected head of the National Party in Transvaal, which is South Africa's most populous province. He became the
party's leader seven years later, in February 1989, and president in that September, after Pieter Botha was forced to resign because of illness and allegations of erratic behavior.
De Klerk and the National Party lost to Mandela and the ANC in the 1994 general elections. After South Africa approved a new constitution in March 1996, de Klerk left the government and the National Party assumed an opposition role.
He published his autobiography, "The Last Trek: A New Beginning," in 1999.
Doors at the Lied Center open at 6 p.m. De Klerk will have a press conference there at 6:30 p.m. Tickets to the lecture cost $2 with a KUID and $5 for the public and are available at the Lied Center, SUA and Murphy Hall box offices.

because of their racial status. Mills remembers first looking at a book about the Olympics after his mother's death.
"My mother had just died and I thought as an Olympian chosen by the gods, I would be able to see her," he said.
He became an orphan at 12when his father died.
Mills attended Haskell Prep School, now Haskell Indian Nations University, and became a KU student in 1958. He
won three All-American titles as an athlete, but said he felt left out because of his multicultural background.
"I set seven American records, made All-American, but I never felt like I belonged." Mills said.
He was literally almost left out of the picture when photographers asked him to step out of a group photo of All-American athletes. Three separate times, he was asked to step out of the photo. Three separate times, he refused.
After graduation in
1962, Mills served in the Marine Corps and kept dreaming of his wish to win the gold in the Olympics.
Mills offered the same advice to KU athletes that his father gave to him: "You feel hurt, anger, maybe you feel hate. All those feelings and emotions will hurt you. You have to look deeper and find a dream."

Navy ROTC spends time cleaning up community
By Mike Gilligan
Kansan staff writer
More than 50 ROTC students spent a couple hours yesterday participating in community service projects.
The Naval branch of KU's ROTC sponsored an Adopt-A-Highway project and a cemetery clean-up program. Students who are in the Naval ROTC program, which includes the Navy and the Marines, are required to do community service.
"I think it's an important community service project for the midshipman to do both the highway and cemetery clean-up," said Capt. Jim Cooper, commanding officer of the Navy ROTC. "It allows students to give something back to Lawrence."
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Cooper said there were about 25 people at each site. The students cleaned County Road 1029 about 10 minutes outside of Lawrence, while the other students cleaned veteran's gravestones at Oakwood Cemetery in Baldwin.
Cooper said many gravestones at the cemetery date from the Civil War and World War I. He said the students took the gravestones out of the ground, restored the soil underneath, cleaned the stones and set them back straight.
Cooper said the ROTC program had been doing Adopt-A-Highway for more than 10 years, and the cemetery clean-up

Abraham Sipe, Topeka freshman, said he cleaned trash on the highway for about two hours.
two hours "I think they're both pretty productive to the community," he said. "It makes the community a better place."
Clint Maddox, Washburn, Mo., junior said cleaning the gravestones of veterans was important.
"It gives you a perspective on those who have gone before you," he said.

How It Feels to Land A KU Scholarship
"Can you say s-c-h-w-e-e-e-t, boys and girls?" There's no feeling quite like the one that makes you feel all dweeby on learning you've received a KU scholarship. Some think that KU Endowment makes the decision on who gets what.
Some think that KU Endowment Actually, donors decide. When setting up scholarship funds at KU Endowment, donors want to help certain people - students from their hometown, say, or those in a certain major or school. Scholarships are awarded based on their criteria.
KU Endowment manages the accounts and writes the checks.
Ahh, the checks. $25 million worth of scholarships, fellowships and loans helped more than 9,000 students just this year. For expenses like tuition, pizza and ... new pocket protectors. You know-life's necessities.
KU's campaign, KU First, intends to raise $500 million by 2004, $116 million of which will benefit KU students. With two new schol-halls and even more scholarships and fellowships.
Because there are still a lot of students who deserve to get that dweeby feeling.
