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 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 Mouraward 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 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. 27. 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 political instability in the country only the president can do.
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 Kanaas.
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, 1913," said Capt. Todd Renner.

There is at least one thing on which the seniors of the Kansas men's basketball team agree.
"we will definitely be a lot better than people expect," says Kansas guard/forward Jeff Gueldner. "There's no way we're going to finish last."
Kevin Pritchard agrees.
"We will not come in eighth," says the senior guard. "I haven't been this excited since my freshman year."
Gueldern, who has taken more than five shots in only two of his 82 games, said Coach Roy Williams told him that he needs to be more offensive minded this year.
"I need to take the open shot," he says, accomplishing an individual than that one thought it would.
Forward Freeman West says the key to a winning season is team unity.
"If we can stay together and do the things the coaches say, we'll be OK," he says. "Only as a team, a family."
Although West is a senior, he has played at Kansas for only one year. The Paris (Texas) Junior College transfer, who played in every game last season, says being a senior means taking on more of a
