Senate approves bill to prohibit price gouging, sends to House
TOPEKA — An anti-profiteering bill prompted by spikes in gasoline prices Sept. 11 won Senate approval yesterday as other legislative responses to the terrorist attacks also advanced.
In addition, senators gave first-round approval on a voice vote to a House resolution creating a joint legislative committee on security issues. Final action is scheduled for today.
The bill on profiteering would subject merchants to lawsuits and possible fines for gouging consumers with high prices after disasters. The 26-14 vote sent the measure to the House.
Meanwhile, the House tentatively approved a bill permitting state and local government agencies to close records that deal with the security of energy and telecommunications companies.
CORRECTIONS
A correction in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Lawrence graduate student Christine Robinson disagreed with Student Senate's decision not to fund advertising for this week's blood drive. Robinson said she thought Senate's decision was sufficient to send a message that donation guidelines discriminated against gay and bisexual men and that students did not need to protest the blood drive. Robinson said she supported the blood drive.
The group members pictured in yesterday's Camera on KU were not the winners of the Engineering Expo. The electrical engineering and computer science department won the expo.
CAMPUS Students arrested at Stull Cemetery
Four KU students were caught on the grounds of Stull Cemetery and were arrested yesterday, said Lt. Kathy Tate of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Brian Keidel, Holcomb freshman; Kyle McGrath, Wichita freshman; Margaret Klass, Chesterfield, Mo., freshman; and Lauren Novak, Edina, Minn., freshman, went to the cemetery after an officer told them not to go there, Tate said.
They were caught on foot in the cemetery at 12:50 a.m. Tate said.
Each was charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor, Tate said.

NATION
U.S. Air Force contract could add jobs Boeing
WICHITA — The Boeing Co. announced yesterday it would use its plant and work force here for the tanker conversion of the Boeing 767 — a move that could mean hundreds of new jobs at the beleaguered aircraft manufacturer.
Boeing did not release any specific job numbers in connection with the project.
The company added, however, that the project was contingent on the U.S. Air Force choosing Boeing for the contract.
Its Wichita Development and Modification Center, where the tanker work would be done, now employs about 2,000 workers.
