Police continue inquiry into student's rape report
Lawrence police are continuing to investigate the alleged Feb. 8 rape of a University of Kansas student.
Sgt. Susan Hadl said the freshman woman alleged that she was raped between 1 and 4:30 a.m. in the 4000 block of Overland Drive. The woman filed a report to police Friday.
"The victim waited to file a report with us because she was fearful of retaliation from him if she reported it." Hadl said.
Hadi said that police had identified the suspect as a 23-year-old man but that she could not say if he had been contacted yet by police.
Hadi said the victim met the suspect at a party the evening of Feb. 7. The victim and a friend left the party with the suspect and his roommate and went to the suspect's house.
Hadi said that when they arrived at the suspect's house, they split into two couples and moved to different parts of the house.
"The victim joined the suspect in his bedroom," Hadl said, "and she then says he raped her there. She said she told him she didn't want to have intercourse."
The victim then found her friend and told her she wanted to leave, Hadl said. Her friend and the suspect's roommate then took her home.
Hadi said that although police thought the rape to be the second reported in Lawrence this year, it could not be confirmed.

Court of Appeals judge to speak about leadership
Aroop Pal wanted to get involved at the University his freshman year, so he
attended the Blueprints Student Leadership Conference.
Pal, Lawrence senior, is co-chairman of the 11th annual conference, which takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Burge Union.
Pal said the conference was geared toward students who were involved in campus groups and were interested in assuming leadership roles within those groups.
"The main focus is for freshmen and sophomores, newer students at the University who have had little or no leadership experience," Pal said.
Both student leaders and faculty members will give presentations at the conference. Deanen Tacha, a Lawrence resident who serves on the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, will give a keynote address titled Living as a Leader.
Aaron Quisenberry, assistant director of the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center, said he thought students would benefit from attending the conference and hearing Tacha's speech.
"When students can actually see someone who graduated from KU, was an administrator here, and is now a judge, it gives them the inspiration to achieve the same goals, if not more, because that person was once in their shoes," Quisenberry said.
Pal said that attending the conference opened his eyes to the leadership opportunities at the University.
"Probably the biggest thing I learned from Blueprints was the different things that everybody else was doing so I became more interested and more involved," Pal said.
Registration forms are available at the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center, room 400 in the Kansas Union, and will be accepted until 3 p.m. tomorrow. A $10 registration fee is required, and a limited number of scholarships to cover the fee still are available.

Participants will include Jim Abbott, president of the Minority Supplier Council, Ernesto Hodison, assistant vice president of Douglas County Bank and co-owner of Total Fitness Athletic Center, and John Hunter, executive director of the African-American Advisory Commission of the Kansas Department of Human Resources.

1948 graduates gathering to ready 50-year reunion
-- Sara Anderson
Members of the class of 1948 will return today to the Adams Alumni Center to coordinate their 50-year reunion.
Donna Neuner, director of membership services, said that one class officer and 12 of 15 planning-committee members planned to attend today's luncheon.
Neuer said the committee would make arrangements for the decorations, music and program for the April 24-25 reunion weekend.
On Apr. 24, there will be a cocktail reception and a class dinner. A variety of events will be held April 25, including celebrations at individual schools.
The class president, Otto Schnellbacher, is the only officer scheduled to attend today's meeting.
"I just received a memo from him saying he will be there," Neuner said.
Schnellbacher, who lives in Topeka, was a member of the 1948 Orange Bowl team and a member of the men's basketball team.
The class of 1948 was noted for the highest undergraduate enrollment at the University, the first sold-out crowd at Memorial Stadium and the first Kansas bowl game, which Kansas lost 14-20 to Georgia Tech.

Cost of Iraqi operations exceeds $600 million mark
WASHINGTON — The cost to U.S. taxpayers of keeping military pressure on Iraq is more than $600 million and climbing, according to Pentagon and congressional officials.
Money for increased fuel consumption, special deployment pay, supply shipments and increased flying time adds up quickly as the U.S. presence around Iraq reaches a post-Gulf War high. Unlike in the 1991 conflict, no large coalition of countries is offering money to support the U.S. deployment.
Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre told reporters yesterday that the cost of managing military operations in the Persian Gulf since the crisis with Iraq erupted last fall has been more than $600 million.
Sen. John Warner, RVa., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that based on briefings he had received, the total was closer to $750 million.
The Pentagon, with more than 30,000 troops in the region, is spending nowhere near what it cost to field a force of more than half a million to eject Iraq from Kuwait in 1991.
But neither is the international support for today's mission near what it was seven years ago. The Gulf War cost $61.1 billion, according to a 1992 Pentagon estimate. But international contributions pared the cost to U.S. taxpayers to $7.4 billion.

Wait a minute Mr. Postman, info incorrect
By Emily C. Forsyth

Students can save themselves time and frustration by keeping their addresses, phone numbers and major codes up-to-date.
She said that often students listed their parents' address as their local address. Consequently, she said students did not receive
information in a timely fashion.
Students' failure to update information creates a break in the chain of communication and may lead to problems and inconveniences, said Pam Houston, director of CLAS undergraduate services.
"Mom and daa may forward it." Houston said. "They may call and try to interpret what the information is, and so the information isn't getting to the student as quickly and maybe not correctly either."
Brian Metzger, Olathe junior and student assistant in the undergraduate services office, said that if students did not update their addresses, then they may not receive important
UPDATING RECORDS
Students can make address corrections on a computer in front of the registrar's office at 121 Strong Hall or by mail.
To receive permits to enroll on time, students should update their records by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
information, such as permits to enroll.
"Either they miss their original enrollment date and are forced to late enroll, or they don't get their holds taken care of early enough." Metzger said.
Houston said that in addition to not receiving enrollment information, students also could miss important information regarding the maiors in which they were interested.
Updating information becomes increasingly important as students approached graduation.
"It is very important that students change their addresses when they move because we send out information such as graduation updates or requests for additional information," Metzger said. "If they don't receive that in the mail, then they may not ever know that we had a problem processing requirements, and they may not graduate."
