Relay for Life to raise
Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer society
The first University of Kansas Relay for Life benefit will take place at 6 p.m. today until 6 a.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
The event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society Relay for Life at KU, led by Adrienne Rosel, Liberal sophomore.
The group hopes to raise $50,000 for the American Cancer Society and has already collected $45,000.
"I'm pretty sure we'll get that $50,000 and maybe a little more," Rosel said.
Fifty-two teams of eight to 10 people have registered. Each team will have one member walking on the track at all times for the 12 hours.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will speak, and after his remarks the cancer survivors will be invited to walk the first lap and then the teams will begin walking.
Organizers invite people to bring quarters to the stadium for a Quarter-Chase fundraiser. The goal is to collect enough quarters to encircle the entire track, which would raise $10,000. There will also be other fundraising events and a raffle.
Luminaries dedicated to cancer victims will be sold at the events for a 10 p.m. ceremony on Campanile Hill,

Dean receives award for business reporting
James Gentry, dean of the School of Journalism, received an award for his role in business reporting.
Gentry shared the 2003 Distinguished Achievement Award of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers with Randall Smith, an assistant managing editor at The Kansas City Star.
The School of Journalism offered a business reporting class this semester for the first time and plans to offer the class at least once a year in the future, Gentry said.
Gentry said business was a complex subject. "Reporters don't often get much training in business reporting," he said. "They are more likely to
learn basic reporting, copy editing or government reporting."
Gentry received the award at a SABEW annual convention in Boston last week and gave a 15-minute talk at the award reception Sunday. Gentry was the organization's first executive director and ran the business journalism program at the University of Missouri for eight years.
The award singles out individuals who have made a significant impact on the field of business journalism.

State representatives debate budget issues
TOPEKA—House members yesterday faced choosing between raising taxes and delaying some tax refunds to balance the state budget, with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius opposing both ideas.
The House debated budget issues on the second day of the Legislature's wrap-up session, with the biggest issue, erasing the projected $254 million deficit in the $10 billion budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
A bipartisan group proposed increasing the state's sales tax by a half-cent starting June 1, and imposing a 3.5 percent surcharge on individual income tax bills.
Rep. Jeff Jack (R-Parsons) said this was the best way to address the financial problems." I feel like I've at least tried to do something to solve our problems," he said.
The Democratic governor has said she did not support a tax increase because she did not believe state government was operating efficiently.
Republican leaders also want to avoid higher taxes, and part of their budget-balancing plan calls for delaying $60 million in tax refunds next year, to artificially lower expenses for fiscal 2004.
All parties have agreed so far on one step to balance revenue and expenses — delaying a $213 million payment of state aid for public schools from June 15 to July 1, the first day of fiscal 2004.
