Student walkout postponed; to be held today at Wescoe
Because of inclement weather, the student walkout planned at the University of Kansas was postponed until today.
Professors were encouraged with emails and letters from Students for Peace members to cancel classes between 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and to walk out of classes with their students or have teach-ins educating students about the events surrounding the war.
Thirty to 40 students still gathered in front of Wescoe Hall yesterday to be part of the national strike, said Amanda Flott, Omaha junior who helped organize the protest. Some of the students said they were affiliated with local peace organizations, others came because professors canceled classes and some came because they did not know about the change, Flott said.
Many of the people who were going to participate in the strike yesterday told Flott they would be there today to send the anti-war message.

Senate withdraws proposal, plans to reintroduce bill later
A bill that proposed that 80 students be chosen at random to be senators was withdrawn from last night's Senate committee meetings.
The bill stated that the Office of Admissions would choose the senators.Those senators would elect the student body president and vice president.A $100 stipend would compensate the senators per semester.
Sam Pierron, non-traditional senator and bill sponsor, said the bill was satirical, not mocking.
"It was an attempt to get people to think why they are in Student Senate and do the things they do."Pierron said.
Pierron said he wrote the bill to curb problems in Senate elections such as "shameless self-promotion."
— Cate Batchelder
Pierron withdrew the bill so other bills could receive more attention at the committee meetings, but he said he planned to bring the bill back in the next legislative cycle.
LAWRENCE
Charges filed in bar brawl others may be charged
After nearly three months of investigation and review,charges were filed last week in the case of a fight outside Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., when a Lawrence man was knocked unconscious.
John T. Simmons, a 30-year-old Lawrence resident, was charged with four counts of battery and one count of disorderly conduct for his involvement in the fight.
Simmons is not accused of hitting Jeffrey Medis, a bystander who was knocked unconscious. It is unclear whether the four men Simmons is accused of striking are suspected of hitting Medis, a 28-year-old Lawrence resident.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney said the cases of each person in the fight would be handled separately because of the number of people involved, but she declined to say whether others would be charged.
Simmons was outside the Replay Lounge when he began speaking with a group of passersby. The exchange led to a brawl in which Medis suffered a concussion, a broken nose, a fractured eye socket and a jaw broken in two places.
After the incident, Medis, who is gay, claimed he was the victim of a beating because of his sexual orientation. Lawrence police have since determined that his sexual orientation was not a factor in the attack.
