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 "conspirac."
Parliament elected deputy Rene Mouawad, 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 Mouaad in a second ballot of the special session. Six members abstained.
interim Cabinet until a new president could be named, rejected Mouawad's election.
Aoun rejected the Arab Leaguebrokered peace plan, first approved by the lawmakers at a session last month in Saudi 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 unjustified and under Lebanon's
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 Kangsa.
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 fighter planes before the game, a pre-game march and rifle team 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,
For Williams, there's no place like home at KU
By Dan Perkins
Kansan sportswriter
A town called too small by previous coaches has been perfect for Kansas Coach Roy Williams.
"I feel like I've lived in two fantastic places; the western North Carolina mountains where I was born, and Chapel Hill where I went to school and coached. But I don't think I've been any place that I've enjoyed as much as Lawrence and this university."
Williams and his wife, Wanda, both say that they have thoroughly enjoyed Lawrence since moving here two summers ago.
"We really enjoy being here," Wanda Williams said. "Everybody is really friendly, and our kids started out at Quail Run school last year, which was new, so they didn't have any problems making friends."
The Williams' have t/o children, Scott,
12, and Kimberly. 10.
"I can easily see what Coach Smith, Coach Harp and all the people with Kansas ties that have been important to me in the past have been talking about.
"Coach Smith and Coach Harp both told me it was a great place to live, and the twenty-one was a happy place where people enjoyed each other and tried to help each other."
Williams, who is entering his second season as coach of the Jayhawks, said he did not want lessons of Lawrence, though, because of what he told him. Dean Smith and Dick Hart, told him.
The words of Smith and Harp were not
unsubstantiated. Both spent considerable, as well as memorable, time in Kansas before moving on to North Carolina.
Smith, a native of Emporia, was a member of the 1925 Kansas team that claimed the NCAA title and the 1933 team that finished as runner-up to Indiana...
Harp, who coached at Kansas from 1986-64, coached the Jayhawks to the NCAA final in 1987, losing in triple overtime, 54-53, to North Carolina. Harp also was a starting
ated from here, but throughout the college coach ranks."
Just two months before he came to Kansas, Williams said he was offered the head position at George Mason, but he turned it down at the last minute.
Kansas, though, was almost too late in approaching the 38-year-old Williams with the opportunity to become only the seventh head coach in Kansas history.
"George Mason was a very good situation

I'm pretty confident of my abilities, and I'm even more confident of the training that I've had to be prepared for almost anything. So the coaching part of it, the day-to-day work, the day-to-day preparation, the recruiting, the alumni and the media, none of that shocked me or surprised me.'

guard on the 1940 team that lost the national championship game to Indiana. Harp is now an assistant to Smith at North Carolina.
Williams came to Kansas on the recommendation of Smith after spending 10 years as a teacher.
During that time, the Tar Heels had a record of 243-57, including 10 NCAA tournament berths and a national championship in 1982.
"I think that, needless to say, Coach Smith was the most important part of the decision," Williams said. "I don't think Roy Williams could have gotten the job if it hadn't been for the respect that Coach Smith has, particularly because he gradu-
because they were very supportive, and they were going to put all the support and financial backing you needed," Williams said. "I mean it was a good school and a good situation."
Smith sensed that a bigger job was going to come and told Williams after he turned the job down that a really good job was going to come up.
"It was ironic because he made that comment and two months later, I'm the head coach of Kansas." Williams said.
But things didn't go the way Williams had expected them to, when two weeks into practice, Williams and Kansas were hit with a three-year probation by the NCAA.
"The season wasn't as smooth as I thought it was going to be, but I think most of that was because of factors from the outside, by the NCAA," Williams said.
"I don't think anybody felt like it was going to be anywhere near as severe as it was, and so I think that was a shock for all of us, not just Roy Williams. I think it was a shock to our administration and a shock to our players."
Wanda Williams said the probation affected her husband more than anything else in his life had.
"He was pretty disappointed," she said. "It bothered him more than anything else had ever bothered him. He had come from a program that hadn't had any problems.
"He was used to losing players to people that had out-recruited him and things like that but not from outside sources. It was like a lightning strike."
Williams, though, said he didn't start doubting himself because of his background and coached Kansas to a 19-12 record despite numerous injuries to the players.
"I'm pretty confident of my abilities, and I'm even more confident of the training that I've had to be prepared for almost anything. So the coaching part of it, the day-to-day work, the day-to-day preparation, the recruiting, the alumni and the media, none of that shocked me or surprised me.
"I'm very happy where I am. I had an opportunity this summer to talk to several people about other jobs, but I don't think any of those people have what I have here, so why should I talk to people about leaving if I enjoy it so much?"
