Four vehicles burglarized in Oliver Hall parking lot
Four vehicles in the Oliver Hall Lot 112 were burglarized early Sunday morning, the KU Office of Public Safety said.
The value of the items stolen and the damage to the vehicles was more than $3,000.
Sgt. Chris Keary said that police were investigating the incidents. He said that any suspect would be considered for all four thefts because of the proximity of the vehicles and the short time frame. Specific damages included:
One University of Kansas student's cellular phone, two amplifiers, sunglasses and seven CDs were taken between 2:30 and 5:30 a.m. The damage to the vehicle was estimated at $200. The items stolen were valued at $798.
■ The window of a Leawood resident's vehicle, which was parked in the Oliver lot, was shattered between midnight and 5:30 a.m., and a $300 speaker and a $100 amplifier were stolen.
A CD case and 25 CDs were stolen from a KU student's vehicle between 2:30 and 5:30 a.m. The damage to the vehicle's window was estimated at $150, and the items were valued at $390.

Keary said that students should not to keep valuables in their vehicles.
"If you're going to leave something in your car, at least make it not visible," he said.
Naughty pictures posted on engineering Web site
Someone tampered with the University of Kansas Department of Civil Engineering's Web site and posted pornographic pictures, the KU Public Safety Office said.
Sgt. Chris Keary said that pictures had been posted on the Web site between 2:13 a.m. April 12 and 10:23 a.m. April 13. The pictures have been removed, he said.
Steve McCabe, associate professor of engineering, said that a faculty member discovered the tampered site and immediately corrected it.
The Web site is housed in a computer in Room 1031E in Learned Hall, but the location from which it was altered is unknown.
The police do not have a suspect and still are investigating the crime, which is classified as a computer trespass, Keary said.

NATO changes proposed,
former Soviets involved
— Melissa Ngo
WASHINGTON — Sens. Pat Roberts and John Ashcroft are proposing changes to legislation admitting three former Soviet bloc nations to NATO. But even then, an expansion of the military alliance leaves some struggling to decide.
"I'm still wrestling with it," Roberts, R-Kan,
said Monday. "I hope to be able to vote for
the expansion, but I do have serious con-
cerns about the cost and about the purpose
and timing—and especially the relations
with the former Soviet Union, with Russia."
Roberts and Ashcroft, R-Mo., are sponsoring an amendment that would limit NATO forces to defending the 16 member nations against an armed attack or threat The Clinton administration proposes to broaden NATO's mission so that it can become an international policing organization — effectively answering 911 calls around the world. Ashcroft said.
In a speech on the Senate floor, Ashcroft cited comments by former Defense Secretary William Perry that the alliance no longer existed to deter a Soviet attack but to create peaceful conditions in Europe. NATO's interests, said Perry, should be anywhere in the world where aggression can threaten the security of NATO members.
Ashcroft voted in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee against expanding NATO to include Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic and is expected to oppose the measure in the full Senate.
Kansas GOP Sen. Sam Brownback, another Foreign Relations panel member, voted for the proposal in committee. A spokesman cautioned that with several major amendments pending, Brownback has not decided what his final vote will be. Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., supports the expansion.

Student Senate committees to elect leaders
By Melissa Ngo
mngo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Some Student Senate committees will elect chairpersons, vice-chairpersons and members of the first Judicial Board selection committee at 6 tonight in various rooms in the Kansas Union.
University affairs, multicultural affairs, student rights and finance committees will conduct elections for the positions. The graduate affairs committee has a separate application process for the positions and will not have elections tonight.
One member from each of the five committees will be chosen to serve on the Judicial Board selection committee in Fall 1998. That committee chooses the people who serve on the Judicial Board, which was created in Fall 1997.
"The board hears disputes within Student Senate," said Kelly Huffman, former Student Executive Committee chairman. "If organizations have concerns about how they were treated in Senate, or they have concerns with Senate Rules and Regulations, they can turn to this board."
Those eligible to vote must have been a member for at least the last four committee meetings and have met each individual committee's attendance policy, said Kevin Yoder, student body president and chairman of the student rights committee.
"In [student] rights, each member is allowed four absences," Yoder said. "Last night, I went through the list and took off everyone who hadn't met that policy, so they won't be able to vote tonight."
Legislation passed in March changed committee elections from the fall to the spring. Former Student Body President Scott Sullivan attempted to veto the bill but missed the veto deadline, and the bill was enacted.
Sullivan had said that he did not think that having the elections in the spring would fulfill the bill's goal of making committee elections less political.
Ann Marchand, former Journalism senator, sponsored the bill.
"I would hope that committee members would be able to put aside partisan politics and vote for the people who have worked hardest during the last year," she said.
