News briefs
CORRECTIONS
Monday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. In the article, "Taco Bell protesters fight low worker pay," library assista. 'Chantel Guidry's name was misspelled.
Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan contained two errors. The caption for the Camera on KU photo stated it was taken in Anschutz Library. The photo was taken in Watson Library.
In "U.S. Senate gives money for life sciences," Life Sciences Institute President Bill Duncan's name was misspelled.
Two articles in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan need clarification. The headline, "Classified staff recommends the University handle payroll," is inaccurate. Five members of the University Classified Senate Committee recommended that the University of Kansas handle payroll.
The article, "Powwow funds questioned," stated the First Nations Student Association couldn't find a Head Lady and Head Man from outside the tribe to dance at the powwow. The association represents many tribes, not one, and was searching for a Student Head Lady and a Student Head Man.
CAMPUS
Last chance for students to opt for credit, no credit
today is the last day University of Kansas students can elect to take a class credit/no credit.
The option allows students to receive credit for a class without having a letter grade assigned. Students must have a C or higher to receive credit, said Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"The policy was created to provide an opportunity for students to try something different," Houston said. "I think it's turned into something else, but it was originally designed so that students could leave their comfort zone without affecting their GPA."
Students aren't allowed to take classes for credit/no credit in their major or minor according to CLAS policy, but different schools have their own policies, Houston said.

TV legend Mister Rogers dies after battle with cancer
PITTSBURGH — Day after day for more than three decades, Fred Rogers put on a zip-up cardigan and sneakers and gently invited millions of children to be his neighbor.
He never wavered in his mission using Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as a way to persuade young television viewers to love and feel more secure in their world.
Rogers died Thursday after battling stomach cancer at his Pittsburgh home. He was 74.
His low-key,low-tech public television show refused to follow its louder, more animated competition. It presented Rogers as one adult in an increasingly busy world who always had time to listen to children.
