Yesterday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "KUnited candidates ride on platform of free campus bus," stated a "free" campus bus route would require a transportation fee increase of about $15. Eric Braun, transportation board chairman, said the $15 fee would be needed if all buses were free, not just one.

Prospective vice provost to visit campus this week
The fifth and last finalist for the position of vice provost of the Office of Student Success at the University of Kansas will be on campus tomorrow and Friday to interview and participate in open forums.
Melvin Cleveland Terrell, vice president for student affairs at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago will be featured in an open student forum from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, recommended students attend the forum to add input.
"Since this is the chief student affairs officer, I would really like student input on the hiring," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "It's important for their voices to be heard and see how the candidate responds to that."
After the forum, each student and faculty member will receive an evaluation form that the search committee will review.
McCluskey-Fawcett hopes to make a recommendation to the provost and the chancellor by the end of next week.
"It's certainly the most important hire I'll be doing this year," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "We had five excellent candidates. It's going to be a very hard choice."

Students gather signatures in support of professor
STATE
University of Kansas students are collecting signatures in support of a professor accused of using obscene material in an undergraduate course on human sexuality.
Hundreds of signatures have been collected, said Jen Hein, a senior in the class who is helping organize the effort.
Sen. Susan Wagle made the accusation against Professor Dennis Dailey on March 27. She persuaded fellow senators to adopt an amendment to the state budget bill that would eliminate funding for an academic unit that displays obscene videos in an undergraduate human-sexuality class.
A University spokesman has said that could mean the loss of the $3.1 million budget for the school of social welfare.
Hein said students have asked to meet with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The governor has the authority to strike the amendment from the bill, which is what the students want. The Legislature adjourned Friday and is not scheduled to return for a short wrap-up session until April 30.

Three journalists killed in Iraqi hotel bombing
BAGHDAD,Iraq—A U.S. tank shell hit a hotel where hundreds of journalists were staying,and a U.S. bomb landed on the office of an Arab television network in the capital yesterday, killing a total of three journalists and wounding three others.
A statement from U.S. Central Command in Doha, Oatar, said U.S. forces fired on the Palestine Hotel after troops received "significant" enemy fire from the 18-story hotel just off Firdos Square along the Tigris River.
Journalists who were standing on balconies of the hotel taking pictures said they witnessed no signs of firing from the hotel before seeing the tank open fire from a bridge a little more than half a mile away.
The tank shell hit balconies on the 14th and 15th floors of the hotel, spraying glass and shrapnel into a corner suite used by Reuters.
