'Movie on the Hill to air tomorrow night
Student Union Activities will present the "Movie on the Hill" tomorrow. The selected film, The Goonies, will be shown at 9 p.m. on Campanile hill.
"It's a great movie to show to get some'80s nostalgia going while watching a movie under the stars," said Lauren Stewart, SUA vice president for University Relations.
SUA traditionally shows a "Movie on the Hill" series during Hawk Week each August and shows an outdoor movie during the spring semester.
Students should bring blankets or lawn chairs and snacks. Stewart said

'Men's Journal' names Lawrence among best
The presence of the University of Kansas helped earn Lawrence a spot on Men's Journal magazine's list of "The 50 Best Places to Live."
In an article in its May issue, the magazine featured cities it concluded had all the amenities of a big city while maintaining the "familiarity of a small town." Lawrence was ranked 10th.
The magazine limited its picks to cities with populations between 50,000 and 100,000. It also considered quality of life factors such as the environment, cost of living, the number of bars and bookstores.

Endangered rivers list excludes Missouri
WASHINGTON —For the first time in nine years, the Missouri River was absent from a widely publicized list of
the nation's most endangered rivers.
The conservation group American Rivers, which issued the list yesterday, is suing the federal government to return the Missouri to a seasonal ebb and flow to improve habitat for birds and fish. The "Big Muddy" dropped off the list not because conditions are better, but because the group expects to win the lawsuit, said American Rivers president Rebecca Wodder.
"We believe the overwhelming scientific, economic, and legal evidence that supports restoring more natural flows to the Missouri will be as compelling to a federal judge as it has been to the American people," Wodder said in a statement.
Another factor is a lengthy series of delays in a new management plan for the river, which would dictate any flow changes.
"What the endangered rivers list is about is rivers whose fate will be decided in the coming year — it's not America's worst rivers," said American Rivers spokesman Eric Eckl.
Man attempts to cash rapper's royalty checks
RALEIGH, N.C.—A 28-year-old man is accused of diverting mail intended for old school rapper Ricky "Slick Rick" Walters and trying to cash his royalty checks.
Walters, 37, whose nits include "La-Di-Da-Di," and "Children's Story," is being held in Bradenton, Fla., by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The INS is attempting to deport Walters, who is British, over an attempted murder conviction in a 1990 shooting, for which he served six years.
Bill Adler, a spokesman for Walters and his wife, Mandy Aragones, said Glenn forged Walters' name on royalty checks, deposited them into Walters' bank account and then tried to withdraw the money.
Steven Burke Glenn was arrested April 3 and charged with three counts of forgery, two of obtaining property under false pretenses and one of identity theft, Raleigh police Sgt. Chuck Hurst said Thursday. Additional charges were being considered.
