WEIRD Nude dance at funeral

ed applications from white males for the next four or five years.
The Associated Press reported in April on the recent popularity of hiring nude dancers to entertain mourners at funerals in Taiwan. Supposedly, the dancers make the event more festive, and although the practice is illegal, police so far have not made arrests for fear of offending the dead.
Japan's labor department in March ruled against the claim of Yuji Iguchi, who had filed for compensation, arguing that her husband's recent death at age 43 was due to his having worked 360 days straight at a supermarket just before he died. The office said the work record did not qualify as excessive.
The Weirdo-American Community
David Allison Smoak, 22, was arrested in May in Raleigh, N.C., and charged with breaking into the Night Dreams adult store and taking two $40, life-size inflatable dolls and a $15 vibrator. Smok allegedly broke the front door of the building next door before realizing it wasn't Night Dream. Once inside the adult novelty store, he walked past a computer and more expensive merchandise in order to get to the dolls. Smok was arrested in his apartment just after he had inflated "John" and "Kitty."
Least Competent Person
Albert Leroy Rozier was arrested in Yazoo City, Miss, in August after he and a colleague broke out of the county jail by stealing a gun and overpowering a guard. Rozier was arrested the next day when he stopped by the local unemployment office to pick up the check he had been expecting just before he was originally arrested.
Students' book records diverse KU memories
By Susanna Loof
Special to the Kansan
Everyone has different memories of their years at the University of Kansas. For Ron Totarsky, former football player, it's hiding a tenpound weight in his underwear to make him look heavier. For David MacCallum, 1991 graduate, it's hiding in his laundry basket during a 3 a.m. fire drill.
"Spoken Like a True Jayhawk," a book written by two KU students, brings such diverse thoughts together.
The book was written by Chad Towers, Corpus Christi, Texas, senior and Melissa Thomas, Tula senior, in Spring 1993.
"We wanted to do something outside of school, an entrepreneurial project that would give us experience and perhaps also money," Towers said.
Towers and Thomas, who have been dating for a year and a half, invested all their time left from full-time studies and part-time jobs, most of their savings and a lot of hard work in the project. In July, the book was on the shelves in bookstores in Lawrence and Kansas City. It is a small, ring-bound book the size of a large notecard and filled with quotations and advice from past and present Jayhawks.
"Some days when I wake up in the mornings I see the books on my desk and I think, 'Gee, I am an author!' " Towers said.
Both Towers and Thomas are proud of their work.
To collect material for the book, the two interviewed about 100 students, faculty and other employees about their thoughts and feeling about being Jayhawks and about KU.
"Interviewing was the hardest but also the most funny part of the job," Thomas said. "There are so many different personalities, perspec-

wives are philosophers.
"There is something in the book that everybody can recognize themselves in," Towers said.
"Then I started doubting," Towers said. "It might have been like we stood there with 500 books nobody wanted to buy."
tives and philosophies."
However, other bookstores were interested in the books, and now Thomas and Towers are considering a second print run of the book
After the interviews, Towers and Thomas picked out almost fifty quotations, wrote a quotation each, started a publishing company and published the book. The process involved a lot of work.
But, getting bookstores to buy the book was also difficult. The first store they visited with their book turned it down.
"The choices were the toughest part"Towers said.
"There is a demand for it," Thomas said. "The Jayhawk is a bird every wants pieces of."

The nature of a public, state-supported institution makes it difficult for the University to effectively respond to all the spiritual needs of its students. The University of Kansas, therefore, relies heavily on the services of the campus religious advisors to respond to this important dimension of a student's life. The collegiate years are often times when students seek to clarify their own value system and the availability of religious advisors of different faiths is an important necessity in this process.
