Jimmy Green and a student were a bit under the weather yester- day after an ice storm hit Lawrence.
Claims continued from p. 1
The state is liable for damages incurred because it has not kept its responsibility to pay its employees on time, he said. But the employee and the state have a responsibility to mitigate that damage, so both must do what they can to uphold that responsibility.
For instance, that means that employee should not write checks that they know they have been authorized to do so.
"But it's hard to suggest that they have a need to go out of their way." Winter said. "It's not the threat we see."
THEEMPLOYEES COULD sue the state on their own or file a complaint with the department of human resources, Wain said. But the local legislators have said that the joint committee would probably provide the fastest results.
The committee could begin to consider claims by KU employees at its last regular meeting Dec. 16, Winter said. The committee does not expect the committee to conduct any meetings will conduct emergency meetings to consider the
claims of KU employees.
After the claims have been considered, the committee will draft a bill that lists the employees and the amount they are seeking from the state. That bill will be considered by the ways and means committees of both houses, usually approves a bill, without changes.
The House and Senate would then consider the bill before the end of the session, April 15, and it would go on to the governor

Five Democratic presidential candidates warned against an escalation of the conflict in Lebanon, while two key Republican senators urged their coalition to be driven out of the battered country by violence.
Mideast continued from p.1
SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER Howard Baker, speaking after the airstrike and the shelling of the Marines, said that the United States would "not turn our tail" and withdraw.
"We're not going to be driven out by terrorism," said Sen. Charles Percy, R-III, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Three Democratic presidential candidates — Sessen John Glehn of, Ohioan, Alan Cranston, of California, and Gary Hart, of Colorado — are positioned to the U.S. bombing of Syrian bombs.
But two other Democrats had stronger reactions. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called the raid "a kind of declaration of war" and former Sen. George McGovern, of South
Dakota, said, "Step by step the United States is approaching war with Syria."
McGovern joined Jackson in calling for the immediate withdrawal of the Marines.
ONE DAMAGED AMERICAN jet, an A-7 Corsair, smashed into a house just north of Beirut after the pilot, Navy Cmdr Edward T. Andrews of Virginia Beach, Va., parachuted to the Mediterranean. The other downed jet was an A-6 Intruder.
"This is insane," said a neighbor outside the wreckage of the stone house. "We're forced to stay indoors because of the shelling. Now even indoors is not safe."
Andrews' disabled plane demolished the walls of the house and engulfed it in a fire which burned six members of one family, including a nurse seriously. Two neighbors also were injured.
In Lebanon, U.S. forces have used artillery in the past to drive off attacks on the Lebanese army by Syrian-backed Druse rebel, but a battle against the Syrians was unprecedented

Malone concluded that the tests by the jurors were unreliable and improper.
Malone said, however, that the tests conducted by the jury were an "eyeball test" done without any indication.
STANTON HAZLETT, Fourhorn's court-appointed attorney, had argued that the tests conducted by the jury had introduced evidence that had not been admitted during the trial and thus violated the defendant's constitutional right to confront witnesses.

He argued that what the jury did was not a test or an experiment.
And he said that a juror had testified that any decision that the jury had made after matching the shoe to the plywood had been made by using their common sense and not by using any evidence that had not been introduced during the trial.
Malone set Jan. 11 for the argument of any pretrial motions.

wildlife in Africa. He details both of those in his book.
"The Africa thing was, I think, my favorite story," he said. "It dealt with poaching in the wilds and more serious problems in Africa and Asia."
"I didn't know what was going to happen," he said. "On one hand, I thought that we were going to have some good stories. On the other hand, I thought that the government might shoot us."
THE STORY ABOUT the hostage crisis in Iran was the most trying story of his career. Kurtis
He arrived in Iran the day after the aborted rescue mission in which eight Marines were killed trying to rescue the American hostages.
Kurtis said another difficult time in his career was when he reported from Vietnam in the early 1960s.
"We were there until two weeks before Saigon fell." he said
