Students prepare for Mother's Day

Although Mother's Day isn't until Sunday, James Wheatley's gift is already late.
That's because Wheatley is an international student from Yorkshire, England - a place where Mother's Day is celebrated in mid-March.
"I got in a bit of trouble about it," Wheatley said. "I spoke to her for an hour, though. I think she understood."
As Sunday approaches, students and local gift shops are preparing.
Wheatley said he felt bad that he had forgotten the day in March. So when his mother visited for his 21st birthday two weeks ago, he
presented her with a bouquet.
Chocolates and scented soaps are also a safe bet, he said.
"Flowers are an easy one," Wheatley said.
At Russell Stover Candies, 1300 W.23rd St., handmade truffles and chocolate-dipped strawberries are popular gifts. Carol Morgan, store manager, said chocolates were always popular because they're a traditional woman's gift.

"Women are supposed to like chocolate," Morgan said. "Some don't, I'm sure, but they probably get their share of it around this time of year."
Morgan said business would pick up this weekend at the store because of last-minute shopping. She said men were notorious for procrastinating.
"Every year they act like it's a surprise," she said. "Oh — it's Valentine's day. Oh — it's Mother's Day."
The Flower Market, 826 Iowa St., has already received 30 orders this week, which is more than normal. Toya Perkins, floral designer, said she expected the store to be busy this Saturday.
Perkins said a color guide at The Flower Market provided an explanation for each flower color. Pink stands for perfection, happiness, dedication and beauty. White stands for happiness and love. Orchids stand for love, beauty, refinement and beautiful ladies. They are also the Chinese symbol for "many children."
Pale pink roses are popular this Mother's Day, Perkins said, along with white roses and orchids.
Ashley Searcy, Springfield, Mo., senior, said she wanted to get her mother something special for Mother's Day because she was turning 50 soon.
She said she called her mother every day. They have always been alike. Searcy said.
"My grandpa said it's like watching my mother grow up all over again," she said.
Scarcy said she tried to avoid the standard chocolates and flowers gifts.
"I always try to give her something she'll remember," she said.
One year, Searcy bought her mom a tiara, perfume and a snow globe — "all things pertaining to being a queen."
Graduate promotes open discussions

David Lee thinks a university should be a place of open debate.
Lee is the founder and executive director of Justice For All, a nonprofit organization that brought a two-story outdoor exhibit on abortion to the University of Kansas campus two weeks ago.
The 1973 graduate of the University wants to bring the type of discussion he experienced during his college years at the University to campuses throughout the United States. The organization presented the display at the request of the KU student group Justice For All.
The abortion display featured giant photos of aborted fetuses, along with other materials about abortion.
University of Kansas alumnus David Lee talks to students in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall in this photo from April 23. Lee is the founder and executive director of Justice For All, the national nonprofit organization that brought the anti-abortion display to campus two weeks ago.
Lee's goal is to get students thinking about what abortion means.
A question was written at the top of each panel of the display. Lee said making students examine the basis of their beliefs was something he wanted to promote because it was a part of education and affected his years at the University.

When Lee was a student in the 1970s, KU was in turmoil because of racial tensions and U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Lee said an open microphone was set up in front of Strong Hall, and anyone could get up to speak for five minutes and answer questions from the crowd.
dents reduced the abortion controversy to a matter of personal preference rather than a moral issue.
"A lot of people got caught up in the issues and ethics of the era, more so than it seems to be today," he said.
Lee said he thought many stu-
"It comes down to ignorance and selfishness," he said. "We are capable of selfishly choosing what we are comfortably ignorant about."
Gregg Cunningham, founder of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, said he admired Lee for his commitment to promoting abortion awareness.
"He has a heroic sense of justice, and abortion offends his sense of justice," Cunningham said. "He will not allow abortion to be ignored or trivialized."
Lee's goal, and that of his organization, is to dispel ignorance by making students aware of the reality of abortion.
Lee graduated from the University with a degree in psychology, and he said after working for a church where he had a partial role as counselor, he was confronted with the effects of abortion. Lee said he was unaware of the trauma abortion caused until he spoke with several women who had had abortions.
He asked himself how he could promote real understanding of abortion ahead of time, and the answer to his question was Justice For All. He said the organization operated on funds from donations.
Lee had worked with the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and become interested in the Genocide Awareness Project, a movement by the center that compares historical forms of genocide such as the Holocaust to what it claims to be the contemporary form of genocide, abortion.
At first, the Center and Justice
For All worked together to promote anti-abortion messages. But Lee said he was not satisfied because he wanted to be reaching the people most likely to consider having an abortion. This led Lee to create Justice For All, a mission which is reaching university students. He said the organization traveled to eight to 10 campuses a year.
Lee said Justice For All had experienced only a few acts of violence because of its display. He said problems arose only when uniformed police officers were not visible in the area of the display.
One of the few instances of violence happened at the University, when Justice For All and the Center came in Fall 1998 with an exhibit from the Genocide Awareness Project.
Both Cunningham and Lee came to the University with the exhibit. Cunningham said the environment around the display was ugly and the University of Kansas
was the most difficult university he had visited. He said someone tried to drive a car through the display and one of the display workers was punched in the face.
Despite the intensity of the abortion controversy, Lee doesn't shy away from making campus visits. Since Justice For All began traveling to university campuses with its exhibits in 1998, Lee said he had missed only one visit.
"Every time I go, I think I learn more than anyone," he said.
Cunningham said Lee was providing a service to KU.
"He is helping remind his alma mater of the importance of free speech, of the importance of the University as a marketplace of ideas, without resorting to personal attacks," he said. "Not many people take the risks and make the sacrifices David Lee has made for his alma mater."
