KU student dies in bed; cause of death unknown
An autopsy yesterday afternoon failed to reveal what caused the death of a 20-year-old student whose body was found in a mornin' in his bed by a roommate.
Alan Sanders, a Douglas County deputy coroner, said the autopsy had disclosed no illness, injury, evidence of drug use or foul play.
Sgt.丹Dalquestor of the Lawrence
said, "No play is
supposed at this time."
Police yesterday did not disclose the name of the student, who lived in an apartment at 837 Michigan St., because the student's family had not yet been notified.
Sanders said that he hoped to have more information from the autopsy within the hospital.
Detective David Reavis said the student grew up in the Kansas City area, but that his parents no longer lived there.
Lobbvist to speak on hunger
A representative for a Christian organization that lobbies Congress about international hunger issues will speak at noon today at a brown bag lunch at the University Lutheran Church, 2104 W. 15th St.
Jon Buck, a representative for Bread for the World, will speak about world hunger concerns. The group was founded in 1874 and has about 50,000 members.
The Rev. Donald Conrad of the University Lutheran Church said Bread for the World was different from most charity organizations because it tried through lobbying to influence government policy on such issues as military aid requests to El Salvador and World Bank loans to Third World countries.
Student Libertarians to meet
A student group backing Libertarian Party candidates in the Nov. 6 election will have an informational meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Las Vegas Union.
Douglas Merritt, a Libertarian candidate who is running against Republican Sen. Nancy Kassbeau, will attend the University of KU Students for a Libertarian Society.
Merritt is a city commissioner and tenor member of Adchison, said Frank Krause.
Kaul said the Libertarian party had a "hand-off attitude" toward government.
Art historian to give lecture
An art historian will demonstrate the use of infrared light in investigating Renaissance paintings at 7:30 p.m. on Monday in the Renaissance gallery of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art. The art historian, Molly Faries of Indiana University, will demonstrate and discuss techniques that reveal the underdrawings or preparatory drawings that artists make before completing paintings.

Greeks urge students to be blood donors
BY DAVID LASSITER

With Halloween about two weeks away, it's appropriate that a few mortals lose a little
The blood lost by students today and tomorrow won't be to satisfy the appetites of ghouls and vampires. It will be donated to the local chapter of the American Red Cross.
The student blood drive, sponsored by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association, will be from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. today and tomorrow in the Kansas Union Ballroom, said Scott Williams, IFC vice president of fraternity affairs.
THIS YEAR, THE blood drive will last two days instead of three because Lawrence in August established a permanent blood center at 329 Missouri St., said Jo Byers, director of the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Williams said the campus blood drive was being phased out because of the new霉素.
Janet Mahoney, Panhellenic vice president of campus affairs, said the blood drive probably would be eliminated in two or three years.
"We're going to see how well the student population uses the blood center before we totally phase out the blood drive on campus.
But if few students give blood at the center, Bvers said, the drive might continue.
"HAVING THE PERMANENT center in Lawrence allows people to give blood between drivers. It would make life wonderful if we got student donors to come to us," she
The blood center is currently operating under capacity. Although the center has the capacity for 20 pints of blood a day, the center is receiving an average of 10 pints a day, said Colleen Denken, a supervising nurse at the center.
To increase blood donations, IFC and Panhellenic members this week have recruited students to give blood.
Mahoney said that 400 people had signed up to give blood, but that about 38 percent of the population could do it.
"Some people will be turned away because they don't pass some of the restrictions." Mahoney said, "and some people will wait until the last day and hour to try and give blood. That's usually when the ballroom is occupied and we can't accommodate everyone."
THE GOAL FOR this drive is to collect between 600 and 900 pints of blood. Last year's three-day drive collected more than 900 pints. Williams said.
"The organization with the highest percentage of donors will win a keg." Mahoney
Living groups will compete to have the highest percentage of residents give blood.
Fraternities and sororites compete against each other during the blood drive to win the Activities Cup. The cup is awarded to the greek group with the most participation in the blood drive, Greek Week activities and the Superdance philanthropy. Mahoney said.
"Some years, there have been competitions between the Big Eight schools," said Art Farmer, assistant director of organizations and activities. "But it doesn't look like they're going to do that this year. Competitions have brought out students in the past."

Diet promises vigor but no ice cream
By JOHN EGAN Staff Reporter
Americans devour thousands of gallons of ice cream every year. To Deb Washburn, that spells trouble.
"Ice cream, unfortunately, is one of the worst foods you can eat." Washburn said last week. "It's very bad. Most people that have breast cancer, cysts, eat a lot of ice cream."
The dangers of ice cream was one of many topics discussed Saturday in a small kitchen at the Zen Center, 1150 Ohio St. where the chef, Alexandra Becker, her "Cooking for Health and Vigor" class.
THE COURSE, TAUGHT in two sections that meet once a week for five weeks, is sponsored by the Community Mercantile 700 Maine St.
Because ice cream is a cold, sweet dairy product, it is a triple threat to the human body. Washburn said.
Such staples of a college student's diet as ice cream, potato chips, hamburgers and pizza are some of the taboo items in the macrobiotic diet, which Washburn teaches in her class. Macrobiotic eaters stay away from dairy products and from meat especially, Washburn said.
The macrobiotic diet, heavily influenced by the Orientalists, emphasizes whole grain cereals, fresh vegetables, beans, seaweed, seafoods and fruits. In her class, Washburn focuses on how and why certain foods affect the body.
Macrobiotic eating is not a newfangled crash diet. Washburn said Macrobiotics has been around for centuries Macrobiotic means "a greater view of life," she said. The diet promotes longevity
"ITS REALLY NOT that unusual," she said. "Basically, it's just what people have always eaten."
For those who eat the macrobiotic way, grocery hills and waistlines often shrink. But most of the eight people taking Washburn's diet eat their meals eating habits and not saving money.
And now, following the health and fitness craze, natural foods have become the mainstay of many diets, she said.
Lecta Williams, a Topeka woman, said she decided to try macrobiotics after her battle
"My son in Maine talked me into it,
I will tell you the more heard of it before."
Williams said, "I'd never heard of it before." Diana Aldrich, 18th Hanover Place, strayed away from macrobiotic eating a few years ago, she said. She had eaten that way while living in Boston, but the rules of macrobiotics were too rigid there. For instance, on the counter, she said those who macrobiotically consume brown rice three times a day.
AFTER MOVING TO Lawrence, she said she wanted to return to eating macrobiotically, but in a more relaxed atmosphere.
"I can sense the change, not being macrobiotic anymore," Aldrich said.
Following the macrobiotic meal prepared by the class - which consisted of miso soup,
brown rice, a vegetable dish called nishime,
steamed greens, a fruit compote and
a dessert called couscous cake — Aldrich said
she felt different.
it is a discharge from a grilled cheese sandwich and a bottle of wine," she said.
A discharge is a negative reaction to a change in eating habits. Some discharges are pimples, rough spots on the tongue or an upset stomach. Washburn said.
MANY OF THE thousands of Americans who eat macrobiotically do so because of health problems. Washburn is an example.
Nine years ago, she quit eating meat — her first step toward macrobiotics.
"I just stopped," she said. "I didn't really have any reason for doing it. After I stopped, my health improved a great deal. It used to be that I was sick all the time."
About eight years ago, she began studying health and nutrition Macrobiotic eating food
"I just have more energy than I ever had before," she said. "I'm healthier and happier than I've ever been."
Since Washburn started eating macrobiotically, she said, she has had few pets and no children.
"I had a lot of people tell me that if I hadn't stopped eating meat I'd be long dead by now," she said.
But said she didn't want to dictate how her students eat.
"I don't care what you eat." Washburn told her students. "Eat what you eat. But just pay attention to your bodies."
Conference to examine influences on architecture

"Form follows function" is the saying most associated with world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
But the definition will likely be expanded this week at a campus conference that will consider various influences on form in architecture.

"I think if anything, the goal of the conference is to reiterate that form follows culture." Saile said yesterday.
THE CONFERENCE. TITLED "Built Form & Culture Research" will begin tomorrow and end Saturday at the Kansas Union. Its sponsors are the Built Form & Culture Studies program of the School of Architecture and Urban Design and the Center for Humanistic Studies.
The saying often attributed to Wright in fact came from Wright's mentor, Louis Henri Sullivan, who wrote, "Form ever follows function."

"Good architecture has always involved these issues," he said. "It has been sensitive to people's aspirations and needs."
The relationship of architecture and culture is receiving wide attention, he said. For example, one topic that bridges several disciplines is the way gender roles affect the organization and control of space.
