Coleen Dodson, Little Rock, Ark, freshman, said of her tryout, "When I started I thought I'd run out of breath. I kind of got excited. But I think that's what helped me through."

Craire Henderson, squand co-captain and a Lawrence senior, said she was happy that so many girls attended the ball in the night, but now they might not tonight couldn't return because they found out it would conflict with classes or because it wasn't the style of games.
"I'm impressed with the talent this year," Hender said. "I think we will have a strong squad, with the team doing well."
Last summer, Henderson won an All-American captain award at the National Cheerleading Association's collegiate competition held at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Last year's squad won first place in the fight song category and the home routine category at SMU. The squad was also one of five squads out of 15 to qualify to go to nationals in January.

While Lawrence city commissioners have recently limited public speakers to 15 minutes each because of a concern of the length of their Tuesday night meetings, a 45 minute meeting attended at their most recent meeting.
Commissioner Dennis Constance was on the agenda because he was running for the seat of the Tuesday night meetings were not in enough detail. The discussion took from 9:30 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. and included discussions about a chance to appear at the meeting.
Terry Summers, a Lawrence resident who spoke at the Tuesday's meeting, said yesterday that the length of the discussion over the minutes was ironic, considering the 15-minute limit on public speakers.
"I think meetings should definitely be shorter," Summers said. "Long meetings discourage public participation."
But Summers said he understood the need to present the minutes

Although Summers thinks that commission meetings should be shorter, he said that a 15-minute limit on public speaking was understandable.
Commissioner Mike Amyx said the "minutes," it has to be discussed in commission meetings. If someone is raised, that is where it has to be raised."
"I think there are better ways to do it," Summers said, "but some people do take advantage of their right to speak."
Constance said in an interview Wednesday, "I would like to still see more documentation, more inclusion of public speaking. I am satisfied that we made revisions and are live with what we gained for now."

Public comment will continue to be paraphrased.
All public speakers will be listed.
"The length of transcribing verbatim takes a considerable amount of time to do." Hummert said.
Commissioner Amyx said that he has been satisfied with the minutes. However, he said he understood Constance's concern.
"The minutes are very important to him." Amry said. "He does a good job reading the minutes and delves into the discussions. I look mainly at the actions that are taken, the votes."

Some of the assembly's duties are to set degree requirements, approve course changes and establish process procedures for accreditation and reinstitution of学位。
In spite of the length on the discussion of the minutes, the commissioners did meet their 11 p.m. deadline.
James Carothers, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said that the team would be recruiting vacancies, it wouldn't be a problem for the assembly but for the students to get involved.
He said student participation had been decreasing within the last five years.
"If there is a large turnout, I will be pleasantly surprised," Carothers said.
He said that the assembly was a deliberative governing body and therefore must adher to a routine. The most students found uninteresting.
"We have a pretty good track record of getting done at 11 p.m.," Constance said.
"Being a student representative isn't a very good job," Carothers said. "This could best explain the low membership."

Muncy said undergraduate student elections were held every spring and the turnout usually was low.
"Attendance is low. On the average, about 30 members attend the meetings," he said.
William Bayne, assembly student representative, said that the membership had been low for several years.
Bayne, Lawrence sophonere is also the president of Students Against the Plus/Minus Grading System.
The new grading system will begin this semester in the college unless an order to rescind the motion carries at Tuesday's meeting.
In March, the assembly voted 213-165 by mail-in ballot to adopt the plus/minus system
Bayne said that the vote could be linked directly to attendance at the meetings where students could participate in creating making process of the college.
"If all seats were filled on the assembly, the students would have had a bigger difference on the outcome." Baine said.
He said that many students and faculty members didn't know about the new grading system.
"We need student representatives that will show up for the meetings and play an active role," Bayne said.
Laughlin said that informing students about the assembly was the first step in raising student interest.
KU to obey EPA rule

Two smokestacks must be lengthened
University of Kansas students and faculty should be able to breathe easier knowing that two facilities operations smokers will soon be lengthened to meet state and national environmental standards.
According to national air quality standards of the Environmental Protection Agency, high enough that pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, are not harmful to humans.
Richard Perkins, associate director of utility management for the company, said that work to lengthen the stacks would begin Sept. 28 or Oct. 3 and extend until May 25.
The stacks are connected to two power plant boilers that burn oil at the facilities operations area south of the Cluster-Flint Hall on Sunflower Road.
Dana Morris, an environmental engineer with the Kansas Bureau of Air Quality in Topeka, said in certain weather conditions, the two west stacks weren't high enough to prevent the smoke from being breathed
"Some of those hills are as tall as the stack itself," Morris said.
Bob, Mcdowd, publin, information
officer for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said that high concentrations of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen in the oil smoke could cause sight eye or nose irritation. He said he has not had a significant health risk.
"The only time that KU has been out of compliance is when they are burning fuel oil, and that usually occurs in winter when the meteorological conditions are such that KU did not cause problems." Moody said.
Perkins said that the west boilers and stacks haven't been used for two or three months. Instead, the power plant has had natural gas in two different boilers.
Bob Moody, public information
He said he wasn't sure when facility operations was notified that the stacks weren't tall enough to meet regulations.
Morris said that the new smokestack height was determined by EPA guidelines considering weather data how much water the boilers were being used,
The stacks will be lengthened 43 feet by linking them to a third longer stack. The stacks will then emit at 196 feet above the boiler room floor.
Frank Construction, located in Salina, was contracted to do the $100,000 project.
