Lebanese pick new president, plan for peace
The Associated Press
KLEIAT, Lebanon — Lebanese lawmakers yesterday elected a Christian president and approved a peace plan designed to end 14 years of civil war, despite threats by a Christian general to punish them for "conspiracy."
Parliament elected deputy Rene Mouwad, a 32-year veteran of Lebanese politics and a 64-year-old Maronite Christian. Legislators first stripped the president of some power, giving more authority to Muslim leaders.
Fifty-two of Parliament's 73 surviving lawmakers voted for Mouawad in a second ballot of the special session. Six members abstained.
Lebanon has had no president since
Sent. 22, 1988, when President Amin
interim Cabinet until a new president could be named, rejected Mouawad's election.
Aoun rejected the Arab League-brokered peace plan, first approved by the lawmakers at a session last month in Saud Arabia because it failed to guarantee a withdrawal of the 40,000 Syrian troops who control much of Lebanon.
He considers the Syrians an occupying army and fought them for six months until a cease-fire was called Sept. 22 by the Arab League. Police say 930 people were killed and 2,744 wounded, most of them civilians.
The general declared Saturday that he had dissolved Parliament. Most legislators declared his move illegal, noting that under Lebanon's constitution, only the president can
Drive for memorial kicks off
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
The ROTC units kicked off a fund-raising drive on Saturday to collect money to build a Korean War Memorial at the University of Kansas.
Cadets and midshipmen from the three ROTC branches took donations after the Kansas-Oklahoma State University football game to raise money for the memorial.
The fund-raising kickoff was part of KU ROTC Day, which also included a fly-by of four F-16 fighters before the game, a pre-game march and riffle队 demonstration by the three ROTC branches.
"Our goal is to try to have a memorial in place within two years on Veterans' Day Nov. 11, 1911," said Capt. Todd Renner,

Former Harlem Globetrotter Lynette Woodard is back at Kansas as an assistant coach after playing in Italy.
By Paula Parrish Kansan sportswriter
Players at the edges of the paint lean forward, heads swiveling back and forth, from her to the basket, from her to the basket.
Her face intense with concentration, Lynette Woodard pauses, poised at the line, ball in hand.
With just seconds left on the clock, the silence is awesome.
The ball falls.
The ball has.
It's in-bounded, but there's not enough time to conclude a play; the buzzer sounds, and the crowd explodes.
But the crowd, for the moment, is just a memory. And the buzzer that signifies the end of a practice scrimage for the women's basketball team reverberates around the cavernous hollow that is an empty Allen Field House.
Woodard and the players, the student-athletes she now helps coach, head to the other end of the court for free-throw drills.
Woodard, a former KU All-American and member of the internationally acclaimed Harlem Globetrotters, returned to Kansas this year to become an assistant to Coach Marian Washington.
"We feel very lucky to have Lynette back with us." Washington said.
Woodard played for Kansas from 1978-81 and was named All-American all four years. In 1984, she was captain of the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team and led the team to a gold medal.
From there, she went on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters from 1985-87; she has been playing in Europe for the past two
