The KU Public Safety Office and Student Health Services are sponsoring personal safety demonstrations today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on Wesco Beach. The demonstrations will include alcohol impairment goggles.
There is also a presentation about the myths of sex and relationships at 7 tonight in Parlors A, B, C in the Kansas Union.
Student Health Services will help students who are going on road trips by offering free car inspections from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow at 11th and Illinois streets. This is the first year they are offering this service. Mechanics from Bob's Auto Maintenance, 640 N. 2nd St., and Midas Auto Service Experts, 2801 S. Iowa St., will check tires, fluids, wipers and lights. If they find anything wrong, they will give students coupons for the services that are needed for their cars, Smith said.

"We're addressing this in the best way by holding people accountable by their wallets," Dunlap said. "We can work in a threshold that if a certain amount of bikes aren't turned in, then we can keep your fee."
An industrious student could pay the registration fee, paint the yellow bike red and keep the Kryptonite lock, said David Mitchell, graduate senator. Questioning senators thought of ways to maneuver around the roadblocks set by Y.E.L.L.O.W., but the club reminds people that the yellow bike program is based on community trust.
One overriding concern has been asked since the first trial run in 1984: Does the University of Kansas have enough dedicated cyclists to make this happen? The KU Cycling Club members already had their

"I walk up 14th Street myself, but man, I wouldn't want to bike it," said Lorin Maletsky, assistant professor of mechanical engineering.
Maletsky teaches a class in which students design products such as bicycles asking customers what they want and then working out the kinks. On the nice days, Maletsky walks to class.
He said the bike-sharing program was a good idea, but history shows it wouldn't work at the University.
Students can hear senators debate the proposal at the Student Senate meeting at 6:30 tonight at 2009 Learned Hall.

Immigrants want in-state tuition
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Supporters of a bill allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at Board of Regents schools say Kansas would gain a more educated work force, but an opponent said it would reward criminal behavior.
Testifying before the Senate Education Committee yesterday, Wichita school counselor Kim Voth held back tears as she said the bill was the only way some of her students would be able to attend college.
"Many of the high school students that I work with have been in the United States ever since
Her students could not afford to pay the higher out-of-state tuition, and did not even know they were illegal immigrants. Voth said.
they can remember. They consider Kansas to be their home," Voth said.
The legislation would apply to Kansas' public universities, community colleges and vocational technical schools.
The committee took no action on the proposal, which passed the House in late February.
Under the bill, illegal immigrants would pay in-state tuition if they had attended at least three years at an accredited Kansas high school or earned a General Educational Development certificate in Kansas. In either case, such students would have to meet regular college acceptance requirements.
Also yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony on a House-passed bill allowing illegal immigrants to
obtain temporary-resident driver's licenses. Currently, immigrants seeking driver's licenses must prove they are in the United States legally. The committee took no action.
The tuition and driver's license bills are both intended to grant the same rights to citizens as to immigrants in the process of becoming citizens, said Elias Garcia, chairman of the Kansas Hispanic Caucus.
Two citizens appeared before the committees to testify against the bills, which they said would reward illegal activity.
"We are inviting every criminal and terrorist to migrate to the great state of Kansas," said Paul Degener of Topeka, who identified himself as a veteran and concerned citizen and testified against both bills.
