KU entrepreneurs win awards in NYC
The Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs recognized the KU chapter this weekend as the top chapter in the six-state Midwest region at a national convention in New York City.
"It was a wonderful convention," said chapter president Bennett Griffin. Derby senior.
Six of the KU chapter's 50 members were in New York to accept the award. About 500 people from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan attended the convention.
Griffin received an award for outstanding chapter president in the nation.
ACE is set up as a support group for students who own a business or would someday like to, he said.
Eli Muhl, Salina senior, and Martin Hess, DeSoto senior, were honored by the association as two of the top 10 collegiate entrepreneurs for their sports marketing company in the Kansas City area.
state tornado drill to take place today
A statewide tornado drill will take place today as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, said Steve Johnson, assistant coordinator for the Douglas County department of emergency medical services and emergency preparedness.
To prepare for the severe weather months of March through July, the National Weather Service of Topeka will start the drill at 12:30 p.m. with a statewide severe weather watch, a severe weather warning will be issued one hour later.
A watch means conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop; a warning means severe weather has developed.
The emergency preparedness division also will activate outdoor sirens across the county and notify city schools and KU campus buildings using voice-aelert radio stations.
Japanese Zen master to speak at University
The division encouraged citizens to participate in the drill.
Zen master Fukushima Keido Roshi, the administrative head of more than 300 Zen temples in Japan, will give an Eastern calligraphy demonstration at 12:30 p.m. today in the main court of the Spencer Museum of Art.
Roshi, of Kyoto, Japan, heads the Tofuku-ji Temple and will speak to art history classes and Eastern civilization classes at the University today and tomorrow.
He also will give a demonstration on Zen sitting at 30 tonight at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Zen sits, the Zen Buddhist form of seated religious meditation, dates back about 2,000 years, said Karin Swanson, lawrence graduate student and curatorial intern of the Asian department of the museum.
Both demonstrations are free

Senators debate distribution of fee after budget rejection
By Brett Riggs Kansan staff writer
Although most student senators agree with Student Body President Brad Garlinghouse's decision Thursday to veto the revenue code budget, they question how the budget should be revised.
Garlinghouse said Thursday that he vetoed the budget Senate passed Feb. 24 because it did not include $135,000 of revenue that Senate would receive from a $3 increase in student activity fees.
Kevin Sigourney, Senate treasurer, said he agreed that the revenue needed to be accounted for.
"We passed a budget that was misleading." Sioromema said.
Garlinghouse said he would propose at tomorrow's Senate meeting to put the expected activity fee revenue to the Senate unallocated account — a coffer used to meet organizations' weekly money requests. In
order to augment the budget, senators took $22,264 away from the unallocated account, leaving only $234 in the account.
Garlinghouse did not propose increasing organization's budgets using the revenue.
However, Sigourney said he thought changes needed to be made to the budget.
changes "I think that with the additional money, there are some groups that should receive additional funding," Sigourney said. "To totally put it in the unallocated account is wrong."
Jeremy Haas, assistant to the Senate treasurer, said he agreed with the veto because it would give the Senate finance committee
the opportunity tomorrow to better inform senators about how it formulated the budget.
"I wish we could have provided more information for senators," he said. "We still can if senators think it is necessary."
Haas said that he favored replenishing the unallocated account but that he also wanted to see changes to the budget, such as giving the Chamber and Concert Music Series the $90,000 that the finance committee proposed. Senate approved the music series' budget at $63,142.
"I think we should budget the money as finance proposed," Haas said.
Shannon Morford, finance committee cochairperson, said she wished the finance committee could revise the budget. But Senate rules and regulations say Senate, not the finance committee, must make the revisions.
"I think finance could make a better decision than Senate," Morford said.

Move to JRP to alleviate space crunch Clinical child psychology Bailey GTAs to reap benefits
On pins and needles
By Terrilyn McCormick
Kansan staff writer
The University announced last week that the School of Education and three other programs would occupy the former residence hall. The school's move from Bailey Hall is expected by 1999.
School of Education officials hope their future home at Joseph R. Pearson Hall provides a better fit.
The lack of space for teaching assistants offices, limited laboratory and clinical space and out-dated teaching facilities are current problems with Bailey Hall, said Richard Whelan, acting dean of education.
For example, Whelansaid office space for graduate teaching assistants was cramped.
Liz Cronemeyer, graduate
assistant, shares her office
at 202 Bailey Hall with five
other GTAs.
Cronemeyer is used to cramped offices. Last semester, she worked in a small basement office. But her current office allows her to meet regularly with other GTAs, she said.
"This is the first time we've ever been together to be able to meet one another," she said.
She said that the GTAs needed a space that would help form a sense of community and that Bailey did
not create that sense.
The new location also will give the 18-month-old clinical child psychology department a permanent home. It is in Fraser, where there is not enough space for the clinic, said Michael Roberts, director of the clinical psychology program.
The program is shared by the department of psychology and the department of human development and family life in the School of Education
Roberts said the move to JRP would bring together the education programs and the clinical child psychology program.
"This will give us an opportunity to interact with strong programs in education school," he said.
Roberts said the clinics' new location at JRP also would help serve the community better than at Fraser because it was more accessible from off-campus locations.
"It is the perfect location for a child and family program because it is on the outskirts of campus," he said. "Families will not have to worry about the guard houses when coming to the clinic."
The JRP location also will give the school the opportunity to have state-of-the art teaching facilities that would incorporate the latest technologies for multimedia presentations, Whelan said.
Student 'tornado chasers' find their adventures in danger
Kansan staff writer
By Jess DeHaven
Tornadoes are often seen as frightening and dangerous, but for one group of meteorology students, chasing twisters is an adventure.
winterst is an adventure.
"It's the thrill of it that keeps us going," Rob Koch, Bismarck, N.D., junior, said. "If a tornado weren't dangerous, we wouldn't be interested."
The students, known as tornado chasers, use radar images received from equipment in the KU Weather Service Office that comes from Kansas City International Airport. This data is used to locate and track severe weather such as tornadoes. The chasers then follow the storms in their cars, recording what they see with video cameras, audio equipment and various other devices.
"The goal of the chase team is to intercept severe weather and tornadoes in the field in an attempt to film and document it," Andy Kula, Lawrence junior, said. "We can learn about the storm structure, why they form and how we can improve our techniques."
Koch said the worst tornado he had seen was in Washington County on April 26, 1991. This tornado occurred on the same day as the one that devastated Andover and parts of Wichita.
"We were moving northeast tracking the storm," he said.
passed on the四脚 right in Koch said no storm was too dangerous for him
Koch said no storm was too dangerous for him.
"For me there is no limit," he said. "Tl go as far as I can go in one day."
The chasers have attended three workshops to train them for work in the field. They learned techniques to forecast severe weather, how to perform first aid in the field and how to repair vehicles while on chases.
The chasers aren't the only people who use equipment at the weather service.
The students are able not only to forecast the weather for Lawrence, but also for locations throughout the United States. Between November 1991 and January 1993, 272,469 calls were made to the weather service's forecast line.
"It's a lab, but it's also a service to the campus," Kula said. "We are an official observation center."
We are an online provider of equipment in the center receives satellite, upper-air and surface data from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and the National Meteorological Service in Suitland, Md.
Students in the atmospheric science department will be visiting five Lawrence elementary schools as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Kansas, which began yesterday. They will talk about severe weather and show videotaped chases.
Jim Dudley, Lancaster, Calif. senior, seated, explains how the KU Weather Service uses the computers to predict and track weather patterns to Chris Murphy, Gnadenhutten, Ohio, sophomore.
