Student files $75,000 suit against University for neglect
A 20-year-old University of Kansas student filed a $75,000 lawsuit against the University for injuries she said she received while participating in a program in a residence hall, according to the Lawrence Journal-World.
Heather Fuqua, Olathe junior, claimed in the suit, filed Thursday in Douglas County District Court, that the University did not appropriately supervise the program.
Fuqua was knocked over while wrestling in a giant padded sumo suit in May 2001 as part of the program and suffered injuries to her skull, head and brain
Fuqua claimed someone supervising the event told her she did not need to wear a safety helmet. She said she still suffered from episodes of dizziness and vomiting.
The Lawrence Journal-World said the lawsuit also asked for $75,000 from the Board of Regents and the entertainment companies that supplied the equipment.
Fuqua said she did not wish to comment on the lawsuit. Attempts to contact prosecuting attorney James Stanley were unsuccessful.
Lynn Britz, director of University Relations, said that the University had not yet received the lawsuit and could not comment.

Senate bill asks universities to regulate sex classes
The measure was added to a budget cleanup bill Friday by Sen. Susan Wagle, who tried earlier to deny funding to the University department in which Dennis Dailey teaches an undergraduate course in human sexuality.
Wagle (R-Wichita) learned from her legislative intern this year that Dailey uses explicit clinical videos in the under graduate class, which the University said he had taught for 20 years to an estimated 10,000 students.
In April, Wagle amended the main budget bill to withhold funds from any state university department if videos that would be "obscene" under Kansas law were bought or shown for undergraduate sexuality classes.
But Gov, Kathleen Sebelius, citing academic freedom, struck the provision with a line-item veto.
On Friday, Wagle offered an amendment requiring all six Board of Regents universities to draft policies on the use of sexually explicit materials, including videos, in undergraduate human sexuality classes.
Universities would also have to create policies on sexual harassment within sexuality classes and on teaching about pedophilia.
The Senate adopted Wagle's amendment on a voice vote and later passed the budget cleanup bill on a 26-14 vote. The Senate bill must be reconciled with a House version, which does not mention sexuality classes.
In the Senate on Friday, Wagle distributed statements and letters from some of Dailey's former students, a University video technician and a private detective.

Martin murder trial to begin after two-year hiatus
Costa Rican Judge Daniel Moran ordered two men and a woman to stand trial for the premeditated murder of University of Kansas student Shannon Martin, according to CJ Online, the Web site of The Topea Capital-Journal.
The judge announced his decision Friday after prosecutors presented evidence at a preliminary hearing held Tuesday, nearly two years after Martin's murder.
The three suspects in Martin's murder are Kattia Cruz, 28, Rafael Zumbado, 48, and Luis Alberto Castro, 38.
A trial date has not yet been set, but Moran said the trial must begin before May 23,the final day Costa Rican authorities can detain Cruz if her trial has not begun.
Martin was a biology student at the University of Kansas conducting research in Costa Rica when she was stabbed to death outside a bar in the coastal town of Golfito.

Fossils donated to Fort Hays State
The Associated Press
HAYS — Fossils believed to be the most complete dinosaur ever found in Kansas have found a new home at Fort Hays State University's Sternberg Museum of Natural History.
The Niobrarasaurus coleii was discovered in the chalkbeds of southeast Gove County in 1950 and spent the last several years in storage at the University
of Missouri-Columbia. Mike Everhart, an adjunct curator of paleontology for Sternberg, convinced University of Missouri officials to donate the dinosaur to Sternberg and the fossils were unveiled in their new home on Thursday.
Pieces of the Niobrarasaurus coleii, about 60 percent complete, include rib fragments, three of its four limbs, parts of the skull, the pelvis and vertebrae.
"We've got an opportunity now to put
it on exhibit." Everhard said. "Otherwise, it wouldn't have seen the light of day."
Only 10 possible dinosaur fossils have been found in Kansas. All but two of those were in western Kansas, including one in Russell County.
Everhart said the "new" dinosaur at Sternberg, a short-legged herbivore that ate plants, died about 86 million years ago. He estimated its size at about 15 feet long and 2 to 3 tons in weight.
