Lebanese pick new president, plan for peace
The Associated Press
KLEIAT, Lebanon — Lebanese law-makers 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 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 Mouawad in a second ballot of the special session. Six members abstained.
Lebanon has had no president since
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
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 rifle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, 1921," said Capt. Todd Renner,

Washington combines roles of teacher, coach 'I think that I'm doing what I was meant to do'
By Paula Parrish Kansan sportswriter
"Lift the elbow straight up into the shot." "Hold up! What speed are we going here? Look's like slow motion to me!"
LOOK like slow motion to me:
"Nick it pick up, um. let's nick it up!"
"Let's pick it up," he pick it up.
Coach Marian Washington's voice booms across the court at Allen Field House, but listening to the echo of 16 years hasn't lessened her enthusiasm for coaching the women's basketball team.
"I never get tired of coaching," Washington said. "I never get tired of working with young people. I think I've always, since I can remember, wanted to be a teacher. Obviously, I can do a lot of teaching as a coach."
"The things that wear you down are the recruiting, trying to promote the program, getting people to come out and trying to raise some money," Washington said. "Those are things that can really drain you."
While coaching for Kansas, Washington has led her teams to five Big Eight post-season championships, the most any school in the conference has won, and two NCAA tournament berths. In 16 regular seasons, she has a record of 282-188.
As much as she has accomplished, some aspects of the job can be stressful.

we have a nice crowd out, it really makes you feel good. It makes you feel like it has all been worthwhile."
Although attendance dropped in the early '80s, Washington said she was pleased with the turnout of the past few seasons.
"I don't think it ever seriously dropped on, but I do think it's pickup," Washington said. We used to average well over 60% of apples when Lynette (Woodard) was playing."
Youth, loss of some key players and a rebuilding program have had detrimental effects.
"We've started with (Lisa) Braddy again; I think attendance is going to start really increasing again." she said.
Attendance should be easier to measure this year because the Big Eight Women's Conference decided to have fewer games coupled concurrently with the men's games.
"With the doubleheader situation, we weren't able to determine how much of a following we had." Washington said. "I feel that it is one of the best attendance records in the Big Eight."
But despite the obstacles, Washington can't think of any place she would rather be. "I think that everyone searches to try to determine what it is that they were put on this earth for," Washington. "I think that I discovered quite a long time ago that I have
