The University of Kansas is conducting a national search for a director of the Marching Jayhawks to replace Timothy Oliver, who will resign as director of athletic bands and assistant director of bands at the end of the Spring 2003 semester.
The position begins Aug. 10 and lasts nine months.
The University formed a search committee and is now advertising the position. The application deadline is Feb. 7. The University will conduct interviews in March, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
The director of athletic bands and assistant director of bands is responsible for directing the Marching Jayhawks, conducting the University Band and overseeing the basketball and volleyball bands.

LAWRENCE
Groups protest war with downtown march
The Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and the Black Cat Collective will demonstrate at a peace rally Saturday protesting the possible war with Iraq.
The Black Cat Collective will leave South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, at 11:30 a.m. to march down Massachusetts Street to join the noon rally at the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets.
Peace groups around the country will protest Saturday. Some of the largest demonstrations will be in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.
Saturday's rally is the nineteenth consecutive Lawrence Saturday noon rally. It will represent Lawrence's involvement in the nationwide demonstrations.
"Public opinion in the U.S. is turning more and more against the prospect of war," said Allan Hanson, the coalition's coordinator, "and it's important for the people to keep up the pressure by turning out in large numbers this Saturday in Lawrence and across the country."

STATE
Sebelius' proposed budget spares education funding
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius presented her proposed budget in the State of the State address last night.
Sebelius proposed to protect higher education in the state from further cuts. The protection comes at the price of cities, counties and highways.
The budget does not reduce current education funding. In her speech, Sebelius repeated her promise to not cut education funding even in the current financial strain of Kansas.
Students leaders at the University of Kansas were glad to see Sebelius keep her campaign promise.
"I'm excited she kept her promise," said Johanna Maska, Student Legislative Awareness Board's Legislative Director. "We couldn't afford anymore."
Maska said she didn't think that Sebelius was going to be able to protect higher education but was pleased with the speech's message.
Student body president Jonathan Ng said the proposed budget was a definite positive for students at the University.

"It is an important victory for students," Ng said. "With the tuition increase going toward enhancement, this means tuition won't have to be used to make up for the loss of money."
Soldiers at Fort Riley prepare for deployment
JUNCTION CITY About 200 active duty soldiers at Fort Riley have received orders to prepare for the possibility of deployment in the war on terrorism.
The deployment would be the largest from the base since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. National Guard soldiers were expected to arrive at the base to back up those leaving, said Christie Vanover, a spokeswoman for Fort Riley.
Vanover said security concerns prevented her from revealing any details about the deployment, including when the soldiers were leaving and where they were going.
