Law school food drive hopes to feed families
The 10th Annual Thanksgiving Day Food Drive will take place today and tomorrow in order to facilitate Monday deliveries.
Donations must be taken to Green Hall by 5 p.m. Food baskets will be assembled tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Dan Cranshaw, campus coordinator for the food drive, said that last year the drive fed more than 100 families in Lawrence.
To increase that number, the law school had competitions among students and solicited contributions from faculty and staff. Other campus organizations and Lawrence businesses also contributed to the project.
The food drive is sponsored by the Black Law Students Association.

Justin Shmalberg, Lawrence freshman and one of the selected students, said an ambassador's duties included working in the International Student Services Office and writing letters to prospective international students.

- Lauren Brandenbura the vote-counting process," Bush said.
Each year, the Salvation Army makes family dinner boxes to distribute to needy families who apply for the food, said Carolyn Schuetz, lieutenant of the Lawrence Salvation Army.
"We want to make sure everybody that has an application can get some food," she said.
Donations of turkey, instant mashed potatoes, gravy mix, stuffing mix and cranberry sauce are being accepted at the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St. They are asking that donations be made by Monday, Nov. 20.
Schuetz said some campus groups already had collected food and that it was important for college students to donate.
"It gives them an opportunity to give, and in giving, we all receive," she said.

ATLANTA — Coca-Cola Co. said it would pay a record $192.5 million to settle a racial discrimination suit by black employees and would allow an independent panel to watch its employment practices.
Coke discrimination suit settled for $192 million
The settlement consists of $113 million in cash, $43.5 million to adjust salaries during the next decade and $36 million for oversight of the company's practices.
"Our goal was to change the Coca-Cola Co.," said Cyrus Mehri, the main lawyer for the plaintiffs. "We think that this company is going to change in dramatic ways."
Plaintiffs' lawyers estimate that each of the roughly 2,200 current and former employees in the case will get an average of $40,000 each, depending on the length of their employment.

the funeral of Leah Rabin, widow of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. She planned to meet with women's groups in and around Hanoi today and tomorrow.
'Dot-com' alternatives considered
The Associated Press
The Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers was considering alternatives to .com, which has some 20 million registrations worldwide.

The new names would be the first major additions since the system of domains, or Internet address suffixes, was developed in the 1980s. The new suffixes could appear in use by mid-2001.
Initial approval Thursday was given to .biz for businesses, .web for just about anyone, name and iii for individuals, .museum for museums, .coop for business cooperatives and .aero for the aviation industry.
There are already "regional" suffixes familiar to most computer users, such as edu and.gov, which are for educational institutions and government agencies. But.com .net and org currently are the only suffixes designated as available to anyone worldwide.
New suffixes could make more simple addresses

available and Web sites easier to find. A computer user, for example, could someday type ama.health to reach the American Medical Association Web site instead of www.ama-assn.org. The current name is so long because ama.org belongs to the American Marketing Association.
The new suffixes also could begin a new Internet land rush, with speculators and trademark holders competing to claim the best names first.
For this week's meeting, companies proposing new suffixes paid $50,000 for the chance to become record keepers for the new names. As registry operators, they would be able to charge a few dollars per name registered — an amount that could add up to millions of dollars for the most popular suffixes.
ON THE RECORD
New suffixes have been under consideration since the mid-1990s, but there were disputes about how many, which ones and registration. ICANN was designated by the Commerce Department in 1998 as the overseeer of domain names and online addresses.
