Wisconsin freshman dies after giving birth
The Associated Press
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — A college student died after giving birth in a dormitory bathroom as other students came and went, telling those who asked that she was OK, school officials said yesterday.
The full-term baby was in critical condition.
Karen Marie Hubbard, 19, was not breathing when a resident assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire found her in a bathroom stall Tuesday night, said Charles Major, director of housing.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Paramedics found the baby girl when they removed Hubbard from the stall.
The cause of death was under investigation. But Eau Claire County Medical Examiner John Folstad said it was believed that Hubbard died of complications
related to childbirth.
Major said Hubbard's roommate noticed Hubbard had gained weight but didn't know she was pregnant.
The roommate — whose name was not released — said Hubbard thought she was suffering from flu symptoms.
"She even asked the roommate to maybe even go get her some Pepto-Bismol," Major said. "The roommate kept going in and out, asking how she was doing, if she needed help, if she needed anything. Karen kept saying, 'No, I am not feeling good. I am OK.'"
Other students in the allwomen dorm heard noises and asked Hubbard if she was OK, but she told them that she thought she was just sick, Major said.
"It's a very tragic situation," he said. "We just wish that the girl could've cried out for help at some point in time. Maybe this could have been avoided."
Fewer deployed from Kansas base
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — Deployment of KC-135R tanker crews stationed at McConnell Air Force Base has been scaled back in recent weeks, and will likely not return to the pre-Sept. 11 status anytime soon, the base commander said.
"Generally speaking, right now we've gone from about 25 percent of the base deployed to about 12 percent," said Col. Ron Ladnier. "We have a lot more folks at home now."
About 500 members of the unit are still serving in various snots around the world.
"This is probably going to be our 'steady state.'" Ladnier said. "We are going to have people deployed for some time to come."
The refueling tankers from McConnell continue to fly daily missions in both the Mideast and the Far East, as well as over the continental United States, in support of combat and patrol missions, he said.
A major planning session is set for the two units in February, and the 184th pilots will soon get "seat time" in tankers flown by the outfit while the 184th maintenance crews will work with their counterparts in the tanker wing.
The 184th Bomb Wing will become the 184th Refuelling Wing, equipped with 10 KC-155s.
Ball to raise money to recruit Merit Scholars
The 2002 Rock Chalk Ball, which raises money to recruit future National Merit Scholars at the University of Kansas, will be tomorrow in Kansas City.
The black-tie event is sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the Kansas Alumni Association. Association members and past Merit Scholars receive tickets in exchange for a donation of $100 to $150 to the Merit Scholar fund.
The ball raises money through ticket sales and auctions of KU memorabilia.
"We hope to raise $110- 120,000 that will go toward the fund for rock chalk scholars," said Brenda Harden, event cochair.
The theme of this year's ball is "Shake Your Teathers." The ball will start at 5:30 p.m. with a silent auction. There will be a full-course dinner and live auction at 8 p.m. followed by dancing with Neon Blue, the musical guest.
The ball will take place at the Muehlebach Tower of the Marriott Downtown, 200 W. 12th St., Kansas City, Mo.
This year 104 freshmen National Merit Scholars enrolled at KU.
National merit scholars are chosen based on standardized test scores, academic success and extracurricular activities.

STATE No survivors found in small-plane crash
ARKANSAS CITY. — No survivors have been found after a twin-engine plane crashed in southeast Kansas and burst into flames yesterday afternoon, authorities said.
Witnesses reported seeing the plane fall from the sky about 2 p.m. and crash in a ravine surrounded by farmland about 10 miles east of Arkansas City, said Randy Leach, fire marshal with the Arkansas City Fire Department.
The plane was destroyed when emergency workers and fire departments in Arkansas City and Winfield arrived at the scene. No bodies were found, Leach said.
Cowley County Sheriff Bob O'Dell said the Federal Aviation Administration has been called to determine where the flight had come from and who was on board.
