NATION Offensive plates ruled as free speech
Members of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity practice a step dance yesterday night at a secret rehearsal space. The group has spent the last few weeks preparing for the annual step show April 27 at the Lied Center.

Yesterday, Nixon called for legislative changes to prevent hate messages and offensive language on vanity license plates. Also yesterday, the Supreme Court let stand a ruling by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis that allowed Missourian Mary Lewis to keep her "ARYAN-1" plates.
ST. LOUIS — After the U.S. Supreme Court refused to decide whether states could ban vanity license plates with offensive messages, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon asked lawmakers to do it themselves.
Missouri law prohibits messages officials deem "obscene, profane, inflammatory or contrary to public policy."
A three-judge panel said denying Lewis the plates violated her First Amendment right to free speech.

Hongguo Xu, assistant professor of mathematics and competition coordinator, said participation was lower this year than it has been in past years, with only 11 students competing, but that it didn't take away from the purpose of the match. Last year about 20 students participated.
Three students won cash prizes in the 20th annual University of Kansas Mathematics Prize Competition on March 26.
"These competitions are for fun, just for students who like math." Xu said.
The tournament consists of a senior level open to all undergraduates and a junior level open to all undergraduates except seniors. Each competition has a written examination with six questions that must be completed in three hours.
The KU mathematics department announced yesterday that Pedro Lei, Macau, China sophomore, won a $150 first prize in the senior level.
Jeff Bergfalk, Mission sophomore, took the $100 first place prize in the junior level, and Michael Bateman, Lawrence junior, won the $50 second place prize.
