Student Senate purchases campus tables and chairs
Student Senate passed a bill Wednesday night to purchase tables and chairs for use by student groups. The four tables and eight chairs estimated at $470 will be available for groups wanting to pass out information at Wescoe Beach.
"It's a one-time cost for us that will last them a long time," said Loren Malone, student body vice president.
The tables and chairs will be stored inside Budig Hall. Requests for use of the tables and chairs can be made to the University Events committee at the Organization and Leadership office in the Kansas Union.

Lawrence joins other Kansas towns in protests
In large and small rallies, Kansans on Saturday joined a global day of protest against a possible war with Iraq.
More than 1,000 people marched in freezing weather in Lawrence, many carrying signs such as "Drop Bush, Not Bombs" and "War is just stupid."
Well over a million people attended similar protests in cities across the country and around the world.
Lawrence police said they didn't take any special precautions for the
event, which began with a walk through downtown Lawrence and ended with a rally.
In Newton, about 400 people marched from Bethel College to the Harvey County Courthouse, praying speaking and singing for peace, The Wichita Eagle reported on its Web site.

NATO breaks stalemate on U.S. push for defensive action
BRUSSELS, Belgium — NATO, mired in its biggest rift since the Cold War, broke a monthlong stalemate yesterday over defensive actions in case of war in Iraq, reaffirming alliance solidarity while supporting U.N. efforts for a peaceful solution to the crisis with Baghdad.
The decision to start planning for Turkey's defense, however, was taken without France, which was shut out of the room as the alliance pushed to resolve the crisis.
With France out of the way, the two other holdouts, Germany and Belgium, dropped their objections.
For a month, France, Germany and Belgium, had blocked a NATO decision to begin planning to help fortify Turkey the only NATO ally bordering Iraq against any potential reprisals. They argued such a move was premature and would undermine U.N. efforts to avoid a war.
