CORRECTIONS
Due to a copy-editing error, a story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated tuition at the University of Kansas would go up $50 million during the next five years. In fact, this hike was only a recommendation from an ad-hoc committee. The committee's proposal will now go to Chancellor Bob Hemenway, who will then present a five-year plan to the Board of Regents.
Due to a reporting error, a story in yesterday's Kansan said the Big 12 Gay Conference would take place at the Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive. The conference will actually take place at the Kansas Union and Ecumenical Christian Ministries. A dance will take place as part of the conference at the Holidome.
Due to a reporting error, a sports column in Thursday's Kansan incorrectly stated the Kansas baseball team had no returning starting pitchers. In fact, returning pitchers started a total of 14 of 56 games last season.
CAMPUS
Political, social activism fair to be held at public library
The KU Greens will sponsor a Political and Social Activism Information Fair from 6:30 to 9 p.m. tomorrow at the Lawrence Library Auditorium, 707 Vermont.
Representatives from groups such as the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and the February Sisters will have informational tables at the event to encourage more involvement in the community.
The event follows up yesterday's political information fair in the Kansas Union, which had representatives from campus political parties as well as the Kansas Reform Party and the Kansas Natural Law Party.
Charlotte Shapiro, representative for the Kansas Natural Law Party, said students were not as enthusiastic as she had hoped. She said she had only talked to two students during the event.
"This has not been an interest, something's missing," Shapiro said. "There needs to be a campaign to inspire interest, because the participation isn't here."
Amanda Harrison, representative for KU Greens and one of the event's organizers, said that although tomorrow's fair would focus more on the Lawrence community, students should consider attending. She said she hoped it would have a better turnout.
"It would be nice for KU people to go because really this is your community and KU is not the whole of Lawrence." Harrison, Lawrence junior, said.
