A public reading of the Fall 2000 issue of The Kiosk, an art and literature magazine put together by KU students, will be at 8 tonight at the Kansas Room on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. The reading will feature the published writers in The Kiosk reading the works published in the magazine.
Public reading to showcase Kiosk magazine writers
Luke Alberg, Pratt senior and Kiosk editor in chief, said hearing the works read by the artists who created them would give listeners a voice to put with the words.
"People can definitely see their emotion, where they're coming from through expressions, body movements and tone of voice," he said. "It will be the artist's own interpretation of the material."
The Kioki comprises poetry, fiction, art and drama and is published every semester. This issue will be the 23rd. Students can pick up a free copies on campus tomorrow.
Alberg said The Kiosk was an example of the creative talent of the University of Kansas and the artistic influences in the Lawrence community.
Alberg said submissions for the Spring 2001 Kiosk would be accepted beginning early next semester.
"We definitely encourage anyone to submit," Alberg said. "We're open to a variety of different items. We'd probably even accept song lyrics."
Annual concert will benefit Environmental Association
Profits from the concert will pay for the group's upcoming activities including an Earth Day bike ride in April, various wilderness expeditions and attempts to make the campus more aware of environmentally friendly architecture.
The Environmental Studies Student Association is putting on its third annual benefit concert at 8 tonight at the Brown Bear Brewing Company, 729 Massachusetts St.
Because the group does not receive money from Student Senate, it is financed by benefit concerts and activities.
The bands include the New World Gypsies, Javaman, Circles and Stephanie Hewitt.
Kari Schopf, organization president, said the organization had a touch time getting recognition
The organization has meetings at 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of every month in the Environmental Studies office at 14th and Ohio streets. The meetings and activities are open to everyone.

Repeat public nudist sent to jail — again
PEKIN, III. — One man may not be grinning about spending the holidays in jail, but chances are he'll bare it.
Robert Norton, 77, is better known as the Pekin Nudist. He has been arrested at least 20 times since 1962 for shedding his clothes in public and maintains that his right to full exposure is protected by the Constitution.
Norton, who is his own attorney,
repeated his theory in court yesterday.
In an attempt to justify his Aug.
7 nude stroll through his front yard,
he pointed to a newspaper article
about deaths resulting from last summer's heat wave in Chicago.
But Judge Richard McCoy appeared unimpressed.
He found Norton guilty of disorderly conduct and imposed 29 days' confinement, the maximum penalty for the misdemeanor offense. Norton was ordered to serve the sentence starting Feb. 22, when he is slated to complete a one-year term under way for assaulting a jail guard earlier this year.
$48,000 in stray bills returned; $17,000 left
SEATTLE — It took four days, but a man who found $48,000 cash on the freeway has returned the money to its rightful owner.
"We are very pleased with his horizet," said Lee Richardson, general manager of Loomis-Wells Fargo, Monday.
During rush hour last Wednesday,
$65,000 spilled from a Loomis-Wells
Fargo truck, with cash covering three
northbound lanes of interstate 5.
Only a few hundred dollars had
"When people have that much money in cash in their possession, they tend to like to look at it for a litte white," Richard said.
tricked in by Saturday, Richardson said. But Sunday, a man coughed up $48,000 of the missing dough.
Why did it take so long?
The man, whose identity was not disclosed, will get 10 percent — or $4,800 — for beating a 7 p.m. Monday deadline to return stash cash
Now, those holding any share of the $17,000 still outstanding face arrest by police, who said cash scavengers — and their license plates — were captured on video tape and will be tracked.

Mexican town makes record amount of guac
MEXICO CITY — Break out the tortilla
tilia料 and lots of 'em.
In an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records, spoon-wielding residents of an avocado-growing town in central Michoacan on Monday whipped up 1,930 pounds of guacamole.
A record of 1,810 pounds was set last year in Australia.
Residents plan to send the Guinness foundation a videotape and witness testimony of the process in hopes of capturing the new title.
Their effort constituted 60 people applying five hours of muscle power to 2,840 pounds of avocado pulp, 240 pounds of onion, 250 pounds of tomato, 33 pounds of chill pepper, 33 pounds of cilantro, 13 gallons of lime juice and 15 pounds of salt.
Mayor Rafael Eira Quesada claims his town's guacamole outranks the dip made by the reigning champs of Queenland, Australia, both in quantity and quality. The difference, he says.
is that his townpeople used chile peppers, a Mexican mainstay, and better avocados.
Rotten salmon not fit for man, fine for dogs
BRISTOL BAY, Alaska — When King Triton Fisheries declared bankruptcy this year and abandoned its Wood River operations, it left behind 20,000 pounds of putrid sockeye salmon in a container.
Not to worry — the mush dogs will eat it.
Northland Services employee Steve Hardin pushed to use the rotten salmon to feed hungry dogs in areas where too few fish have left mushrers wondering how to feed their dogs this winter.
To reclaim the container, Hardin faced the problem of disposing the fish. The fish weren't fit for human consumption because they had soured when the water in the holding tanks wasn't changed.
121-year-old seeds bloom in experiment
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Seeds buried by a botanist 1.21 years ago have bloomed into bright yellow flowers.
In 1879, botany professor William Beal put seeds of mullein plants in 20 glass bottles and buried them on the campus of what is now Michigan State University. He wanted to see how long the seed would continue to germinate.
He directed one bottle to be dug up every five years. To extend the experiment, the intervals were lengthened to every 10 and then every 20 years.
Last April, the 15th bottle, containing 1,050 seeds, was unearthed, and
the seeds were set out in a growth chamber. Twenty-five seedlings, nearly all moth mullein, grew. They now are in greenhouses.
The plants recently started blooming.
"It's a beautiful, bright yellow flower," said Frank Teelewski, curator of W.J. Beal Botanical Garden and an associate professor at Michigan State.
Five of Beal's buried bottles remain, with the next scheduled to be dug up in 2020, the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.
VICTORIA, Texas — Wanted:
Wolfish handsome, outgoing male
willing to help keep the species round
Texas zoo looking for rousing red wolf
willing to help keep the species going.
Almost two years after the death of
Rusty, a red wolf credited with helping
bring the vanishing species back from
the blink of extinction, Victoria's
Texas Zoo has begun the search for
his replacement.
"We're very excited about it," head zookeeper Carla Grutzmacher said in Friday's editions of The Victoria Advocate. "We really wish Rusty. He was a favorite of everybody here."
Rusty fathered 19 pups, 17 of which lived — so many that authorities had to remove him from a breeding program in 1991 because they feared his large number of offspring would lead to interbreeding in the species
The 12-year-old wolf was put to sleep in March 1999 after developing arthritis in his back and neck. "They said he had done his job — maybe too well," Grutzmacher said.
About 300 red wolves exist in captivity. None are believed to live in the wild.
