ROME — Even before all the debris from Italy's latest earthquake is cleaned up, investigators fear that organized crime is poised to profit from contracts worth billions of dollars to rebuild schools, hospitals, court houses and homes.

Tickets on sale for show at Lied Center this weekend

The Lied-Center commissioned performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Lied Center.
"It's not a scientific lecture," Karen Christilles, Lied Center associate director, said. "It's an artwork that has a great deal of beauty and just as equal amount of humor."
"Tree of Life" is the culmination of a two-year Creative Campus project that focuses on combining science, humanities and performing arts.
Tickets are $24 for the public and $12 for students. Students can purchase tickets for $5 with a special University Daily Kansan coupon. Tickets can be purchased at the Lied Center, University Theatre, SUA ticket offices or at www.lied.ku.edu.
