Student march honors King's birthdav
Chants of "We Shall Overcome" echoed down Jayhawk Boulevard Friday as marchers braved freezing temperatures and civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
The group, carrying banners with slogans such as "King, a man for all nations" and "Continue the dream," stopped briefly in front of Lewis Hall as Rod Bremby, Leavenworth senior, gave a short speech.
"IF WE SING, let's sing together. If we're silent, let's march with dignity," he said. "We're doing this for Martin, not ourselves."
KU students joined together in the "March for Martin," sponsored by the Grace Sellard Pearson's Black Caucus,

King was remembered throughout the state when Govl John Carlin proclaimed the week of Jan. 10-16 as Martin Luther King week in Kansas. In Kansas City, Mo., 2,500 people attended speeches and gospel singing honoring

whites and everybody remembered the dignity of King," Cheryl Roath, Parkville, Mo., freshman, said after the march.
This year the caucus wanted to show Kansas' congressmen that KU supported making KKing a dayday a legend, Kegina Goodwin, Tulsa, Luka, sophomore, said.
"WE WERE pleased with it because we got a lot of support from blacks and
Belva Wilson, Leavenworth sophomore and a member of the caucus, said, "We came back this semester and wanted to do something at KU to show our support and commemorate King's birthday. We thought the idea of a march was good for us, but we also needed a way to reach influential people who could do something about making his birthday a national holiday."
The caucus ordered letterheads, which were distributed to onlookers at the end of the march. The letterheads were provided for people who wished to show support for the drive. Members of the caucus plan to pick up the letters from living groups Monday and mail them to Rep. Jim Jeffries, R-Kan.
"This way we are going to reach outside KU and show our support for a national holiday that would commemorate a great man," Goodwin said. Wilson said, "America should be proud to claim him and honor him."

Propane blasts cause valves to be recalled
The government's Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled last Thursday 200,000 gas control valves as possible explosion hazards on furnaces and other heating appliances using liquid propane gas.
Since February 1972, five deaths and 21 injuries have been reported in 28 explosions involving appliances and chemicals. Propane, the commission report
But local furnace dealers were not sure how many valves might be in use in this area.
MONTE MILSTEAD, vicepresident and general manager for Heeto, Inc., Lawrence, said that his team was assigned by Honeywell about the recall.
Local furnace company dealers said they were not involved in the recall because none of their products used the control valve.
The recalled valves were made from 1966 through 1972 by Honeywell, Inc., of Minneapolis.
They were distributed to manufacturers for use on liquid propane-fuelled heating appliances.
Honeywell is voluntarily conducting the recall. Judy Turentine, a honeywell spokesman in Kansas City, Mo., said the company had been involved in the recall program since March 1985. She said liquid propane dealers who were to send them to customers, she said.
THE RECALLED valve is used primarily on central furnaces but also on boilers, unit heaters, concrete mixers and cement heaters (feuled by liquid propane.
The valves regulate the gas supplied to the appliance and shut off the gas when the pilot light is extinguished.
The consumer commission said reports on the explosions alleged that the valve might have allowed liquid propane to leak and collect near the floor where sparks could ignite an explosion.
