Former KU student charged in shooting
KC physician shot in head, remains stable
By Scott J. Anderson and Kathleen Stolle Kansan staff writers
A former KU student has been charged with attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of her father, a Kansas City, Mo., physician, in their Lake Quivira home.
Charles Castleberry, 49, was shot once in the head while he was in bed
Monday. He was listed in serious but stable condition yesterday at Overland Park Regional Medical Center, a nursing sunsprey said.
His daughter, Caroline Castleberry, also faces an alternative charge of aggravated battery. A Johnson County judge and jury will decide between the two charges.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Department is investigating a claim made by Caroline Castleberry that she had been abused by her father.
Caroline Castleberry was enrolled at the University from Fall 1990 to Spring 1993, said Richard Morrell, University registrar. In Spring 1993, she was a senior in the College of Labor Arts and Sciences and a biology
major. She was not enrolled for Fall 1903
A KU student who knows Castleberry said she was surprised by the news when she heard it from a mutual friend Monday evening.
"I was shocked," said Yumi Chikamori, a sophomore from Japan. "She's not violent at all."
Chikamori said that Charles Castleberry seemed overprotective and that Caroline Castleberry was very obedient. For example, she said Castleberry had to call her father every night last year at 9:30. It was his way of making sure his daughter was in her room by then, Chikamori said.
"Actually, she wanted to move to an apartment, but her father wouldn't let
her," Chikamori said. Before she made any important decisions, she had to call her father, said Chikamori. Charles Castleberry was not aware that his daughter had a boyfriend, she said.

Harkins lived on the same floor as
Castleberry last year but did not talk
to her often.
Castleberry was living in McColum Hall even though she was not enrolled at KU.
University housing officials knew
Castleberry was not enrolled for the fall semester, Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said housing officials review a list of students each week who are not enrolled but are living in residence halls. Castleberry appeared on that list this week.
"We check those people out individually and take the appropriate action." Stoner said.
Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison said a family argument had occurred before the shooting but could not comment on the abuse allegations.
Kevin Moriarty, Caroline Castleberry's attorney, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
L. Ivan Wicke of the Johnson County Sheriff's Department said Caroline Castleberry was arrested at her father's home about 3:20 a.m. Monday after respuestas responded to a 911 call. She appeared in Johnson County District Court on Tuesday. She was released from custody after a $100,000 bond was posted. As a condition of her bond, she was ordered not to have contact with her father.
Her next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. 24.

Senate divided over funding of famed speaker
By Donella Hearne
Student Senate passed a bill last night providing funds to bring world-renowned scholar Noam Chomsky to speak on campus Nov. 12 during Palestine Heritage Week.
Kansan staff writer
In the speech he will give at KU, "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky in the Media," Chomsky will discuss the media's use of language to influence the public's perceptions of events.
Nine University departments are providing funds to pay part of Chomsky's $8,000 speaking fee. The bill,
proposed to Student Senate by the
General Union of Palestinian Students
of Kansas University, asked for
$2,000 toward Chomsky's honorarium.
Chonsky, professor of linguistics at MIT, has received numerous honors for his studies in history and linguistics. He has received honorary doctorates of literature and has written many books and articles on politics and linguistics.
Debate over the bill at the Student Senate meeting focused on Chomsky's political views.
The materials Marks presented included excerpts from a book by Warner Cohn called, "The Hidden Alliances of Noam Chomsky." Sections of the book, which Marks said were highlighted by Golzar, accused Chomsky of being affiliated with neo-Nazi groups in France and of denying the occurrence of the Holocaust.
Marks said Golzar asked him to express her concern over Chomsky's political affiliations.
Jamal C. Saeh, graduate student from Bethlehem, Israel, said he was shocked at the opposition to the proposal to bring Chomsky to KU.
Tim Marks, journalism senator, read from a memo that he said was given to him by Lisa Golzar, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. The memo proposed an amendment to cut all the bill's funding for Chomsky's speech. Golzar could not attend the meeting soon not be reached for comment.
"He does not speak on neo-Nazis, he does not portray himself as a neo-Nazi," Saeh said.
I don't understand how anyone could oppose a speaker of such caliber. Kansas does not get this kind of honor often."
Atmospheric science may lose 2 of its3 degrees
Students, faculty fight for program
By Christoph Fuhrmans Kansan staff writer
In October 1992, KU's atmospheric science program was admitted to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a national association of universities.
But despite its growing reputation, the atmospheric science program now faces losing two of its three degrees.
When Joe Eaglerman, professor of atmospheric science, returned from the corporation induction ceremony in Boulder, Colo., he found a letter on his desk from Ed Meyen, executive vice chancellor.
Atmospheric science has been one of the hardest hit by the University's academic program review. Now students and faculty are fighting for their program.
The letter said the master's and bachelor of arts degrees in atmospheric science had been recommended for elimination.
"If you want to have a diverse University, you have to have an atmospheric science degree," said Andrew Kula, Leawood senior, and director of KU's severe storms intercept project. KU's academic program review rated the master's degree program "good" but "peripheral" to the University and cited the program's lack of faculty.
"I was completely frustrated." Eagleman said "We've never had a lack of interest."
Meyen said that the University wanted to reallocate resources to strong programs that had both large student and faculty involvement.
"That's a major issue if there is not enough faculty," he said.
In 1989 the department of physics and astronomy did a comparison of atmospheric science faculty in the Big Eight Conference. KU had the fewest number of faculty members with only three. Colorado had the most with 62.
Atmospheric science's lack of faculty had been addressed several years earlier. In 1855 and 1990 the Board of Regents recommended that more professors be hired for the program. More professors were never hired.
In 1989 and 1991 the department of physics and astronomy conducted departmental reviews which recommended that more faculty be hired for the atmospheric science program. The 1991 department review stressed the importance of the program and recommended that it become a separate department.
Kula said if the degrees would be discontinued, the lack of atmospheric science research could hurt the program and the University.
"You can't put a price on research. It's viable to the future field of weather forecasters."
Robyn Weeks, president of KU's chapter of the American Meteorology Society, said if the degrees were discontinued it would hurt the state since KU had the only atmospheric science program in Kansas.
"I can't see anybody coming here if there isn't research," she said. "I think it would be very detrimental to Kansas, especially to such an agricultural state."
The elimination of the degrees would have other adverse effects for the atmospheric science program. Eagleton said.
Graduate teaching assistants have been teaching Introductory Meteorology. Without a master's program, there would be no one to teach those classes. Eagleman said.
The program review hearings should begin by the end of September, said Robert Friauf, professor of physics and astronomy and head of University Council.
The hearings will be conducted by the academic policies and procedures committee. After the hearings the committee will make its recommendations to University Council. Council will review the committee's findings and make its own recommendations to David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for academic affairs. Shulenburger will make his recommendation to Chancellor Gene Budig, who will make the final decision.
If the atmospheric science program degrees are discontinued, Budig will announce date when students will no longer be admitted to the program. Students who are enrolled in the degree programs would have three years to finish their degrees.
Eagleman said that faculty members would not lose their jobs if the degrees are discontinued.

Sunflower Cable may drop KSHB and KMBC
Page 9.
Networks may request fees for broadcasts
By Brian James
Kansan staff writer
Cable TV viewers soon may be seeing a snowy TV screen when they turn to sunny Beverly Hills.
Sunflower Cablevision and the Fox affiliate, KHSB-TV, Channel 41, and the area ABC affiliate, KMBC-TV, Channel 9, have until Oct. 6 to reach an agreement that would allow Sunflower to continue carrying their stations.
Unless Sunflower receives permission from KMBC and KSHB, which carries popular programs such as "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Star Trek The Next Generation," the cable service will no longer be able to carry the stations, said Dennis
Knipfer, general manager of Sunflower Cablevision.
New federal regulations enacted by Congress allow broadcasting networks such as Fox and ABC to charge local cable systems to use their programs.
Both KSIB and KMBC, based in Kansas City, Mo, are asking that Sunflower pay for its programming.
"We don't feel it's fair to pay for broadcasting that's available to everyone else for free," Knipfer said. "I'm puzzled by their reluctance to meet our terms."
Dino Dinovitz, general manager of KMBC, and Sue Kiel, national affiliate relations manager for the Fox network, would negotiate with Sunflower this week.
Knapfer would not disclose how much the affiliates were seeking for their programs, but he said the eventual cost to Sunflower Cablevision customers would be "substantial."
"We would have to soak up the cost ourselves until 1994, and then pass those extra costs along to customers in 1994." Knipfer said. "Those are things we don't want to do."
Knipfer said most television owners still should be able to receive the channels with regular TV antennas if an agreement was not reached.
"Star Trek is supposed to be this futuristic show," said Janus Jaworski, Prairie Nature sophomore. "Now we'll all be seeing snow and trying to fix the picture with rabbit ears."
The channels are not being eliminated from the Lawrence area all together," he said. "Customers would still be able to get the channels, though the picture would not be as good as cable."
The possibility of Fox going off cable in Lawrence has infuriated some KU students.
Sunflower customers will still be able to get ABC shows through KTKA-TV in Topeka. Fox viewers may have a more difficult time picking up the signal without cable, Knipfer said.
when Dan Redmond, Pittsburg, Kan,
senior, was told of $ ^{\mathrm{f}} $ Fox's possible departure,
he started counting on his fingers how many new "Simpsons" episodes he would be able to see.
"They want to get us both ways," Redmond said. "Everyone is wanting to get a piece — cable, and now the networks — and we're the ones getting screwed."
inugnare. "It wouldn't be that much more expensive than those channels," he said.
Chad Horsely, Topeka junior, said he thought the cable company was at fault.

Horsewise said you could be irritated
by their scent.
"We just got cable in all the dorms this year, and now they're taking away the best channel," he said.
