United Way and KU rock; Donation is second highest
The Douglas County United Way is singing and dancing all the way to the bank with the $42,500 donation from Rock Chalk Revue.
The donation is the second largest since 1995, which was $43,000, said Jo Bryant, executive director of the Douglas County United Way. Last year's donation was $26,500.
Bryant said any of 30 service agencies funded through the United Way could benefit from the donation. These
agencies include: Headquarters, the Douglas County Aids Project, Penn House and Hospice Care.
"Rock Chalk is unique. The scope is amazing and impressive in that students raise such a large amount of money and provide a number of volunteer hours," Bryant said. "It's a time and treasure sort of gift."
University of Kansas students from fraternities, sororites, residence halls and scholarship halls contributed more than 33,000 hours of community service by volunteering throughout the year and on Day of Caring, said Amy Griggs, director of the Roger Hill Volunteer Center.
"The Rock Chalk gift usually kicks off the new drive, though the campaign begins officially in September," Bryant said.
This year's drive begins Sept. 13 with Day of Caring, People of Douglas County, as well as KU students, volunteer on the first day.
The revue is a variety show of music and dance numbers written and produced by KU students. Five acts performed by living organizations' members are chosen
by a panel of independent judges.
Next year, the revue will be in its 50th year, said Kyle Evans, Derby senior. The performances will be March 11 to 13.

More than 600 high school girls have moved into McCollum Hall this week to attend Girls State.
Girls State is a program in which girls form their own city, county and state governments and elect their own officials.
"Our purpose is to provide citizenship training for girls of high school age," said Dorothy Malone, Girls State director of news.
Attendees are high school juniors chosen and sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary.
Sessions during the week are being held in the Lied Center and McCollum Hall.
Governor Bill Gravels, first lady Linda Graves and Kansas State Attorney General Carla Stallow are on the speaking agenda for this year's session.
Girls State runs through June 12.

Brief power shutdown set for Friday morning
A maintenance power outage is scheduled at the University of Kansas from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. Friday
Buildings that will be affected include Twente Hall, Stauffer-Flint Hall, Douthart Scholarship Hall, Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, Malott Hall, Haworth Hall and Haworth Greenhouse.
Gary Weishar, facilities operations associate director, said that computer
equipment should be shut off during the outage to avoid power surges.
The upcoming shutdown is necessary to finish testing a circuit breaker, he said.
Weisharan said that the testing began in the weeks between spring and summer semester but that it was left unfinished because workers found higher than acceptable moisture content in the breaker.
The faulty breaker was replaced, he said. Weishaar said that the maintenance had to be completed because some of the breakers had not been properly tested since 1989. The breakers should be tested every three years, he said.

INTERNATIONAL Scientist encounters South African drug plot
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — An apartheid-era scientist testified today that he ran a secret program which produced more than 2,000 pounds of the designer drug Ecstasy, with a street value of up to $200 million.
Testifying before a panel probing apartheid abuses, Dr. Johan Koekemoer said he was working at an army front company in 1992 when he was ordered to manufacture the illegal drug.
He said he was told the synthetic hallucinogen was to be used to incapacitate enemies of the caucasian run state, but he suspected corrupt military officers intended to sell it on the street.
When he confronted his superiors with his doubts, he said he was told the drug was intended for military purposes only.
Aiming to shed light on the murky world of espionage and secret weapons projects, this week's Truth Commission hearings are focused on the activities of Dr. Wouter Basson.
