CORRECTIONS
A story in Tuesday's Kansan incorrectly stated that 78.50 students pay a recreation fee of $78.50. It is $62.
A story in yesterday's Kansas incorrectly stated that tuition proposals could eliminate the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. In fact, each of the tuition scenarios call for in-state and out-ofstate tuition to increase by the same dollar amount.
The same story incorrectly stated that Tuesday night's tuition dialogue was the first opportunity for students to participate in a question and answer session about tuition. Students had the opportunity to ask questions in dialogues last fall.

American Taliban member back; faces court, possible life in prison
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Walker Lindh, the young Muslim convert accused of joining al-Qaida soldiers in Afghanistan, returned to the United States yesterday under FBI custody to face criminal charges that he conspired to kill fellow Americans.
Lindh flew back aboard a military cargo plane amid extraordinary secrecy and security, two years after he left the United States for Yemen to study Arabic and Islam. He was captured in Afghanistan after a November uprising by Taliban prisoners in which a CIA officer was killed.
Lindh, 20, will make his first courtroom appearance at 9 a.m. Thursday in federal court in Alexandria, Va., to answer to charges of conspiracy, providing material support to terrorists and engaging in prohibited transactions with the Taliban. If convicted,Lindh could spend the rest of his life in prison.
CAMPUS
Hall closing may cause room shortage
The residence hall system will be 450 beds smaller next year when Ellsworth Hall closes for renovation during the 2002-2003 school year.
Ken Stoner, director of the department of student housing, said housing would be guaranteed for incoming freshman for the Fall 2002 and Spring 2003 semesters. He said returning students wanting to continue living on campus would have preference over incoming freshmen. Those wanting to stay in their rooms in halls besides Ellsworth would have preference over those in Ellsworth who want to live elsewhere on campus next year, he said.
"Assuming we have the same number of applicants accross the board, we may have about 350 people who cannot get in," Stoner said.
Stoner said many of these people would probably be those who applied later in the summer. Because housing will be limited, students also will no longer be allowed to stay in a double room by themselves.
Ellsworth will reopen in August 2003, with suite arrangement similar to those currently available in Lewis and Templin Halls.
Caroline Boyer SUA to show free films to start semester
Chandra Dunbar, program adviser for the KU Memorial Unions, said the SUAwould show Spaceballs at 7 and Zoolander at 9:30.
Vouchers for the event will be available starting at 8:30 a.m. Friday at the SUA Box Office on the fourth-floor of the Union. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Dunbar said the SUA was changing the way the film series was run because of the expense of showing movies that have not yet been released on VHS or DVD. She said attendance was better on Thursdays and Fridays.
"Last semester we had two movies a week that ran Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday," she said. "This semester we will only be running one movie on Thursday and Friday."
The Spring Film Series starts its new schedule Feb. 1 with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
