Battery, other charges lead to student arrest
A 22-year-old KU student was arrested Saturday morning on charges of battering a law enforcement officer, criminal trespassing and obstructing the legal process, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff Loren Anderson said the man was involved in a verbal disagreement with some people in the lobby of the jail. The group moved to the parking lot, and a sheriff's deputy asked the man to leave.
Anderson said the man would not leave and reached for the deputy's weapon, but the deputy was not wearing his weapon. The man grabbed the deputy's clothes.
Anderson said the deputy was not iniured.
The deputy arrested Bryan Patrick Cardwell, Lawrence senior. He was released at 1:43 p.m. Saturday and will appear in court tomorrow.

Clinton plan protects national forest land
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration yesterday expanded a plan to restrict logging, mining and road building on some of the nation's most pristine and remote national forest land.
the plan, which still could be revised, would protect 58.5 million acres, an area nearly the size of Oregon that encompasses almost a third of all national forest land. The major change from the original proposal announced in May was the inclusion of 9.3 million acres in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.
Administration officials changed the plan after receiving more than 1.5 million comments at public hearings and through written corre spondence, agency officials said.
Environmentalists have been pressing for years for a ban on road-building because they believe the pathways increase erosion, disrupt wildlife habitat and make it easier for logging trucks and mining operators to reach remote public lands.
Committee considering new Web site suffixes
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. — With some 20 million dot-com addresses now registered, any moderately easy-to-remember internet name is apt to be claimed by now.
So why not try something more exotic? There's .tv from the Pacific island of Tuvalu, .to from Tonga, and .cc from the Cocos Islands. Or how about .md from the former Soviet republic of Moldova or .tm from Turkmenistan?
As the Internet's oversight body meets in Marina del Rey this week to consider adding new suffixes to the current selection, some small nations have already cashed in on their digital assets.
They are selling their surplus addresses in deals that have netted them millions of dollars enough to pay for schools, medical care, even free or subsidized Internet access via satellite to islands that cables cannot reach.
California to initiate drug treatment plan
SAN FRANCISCO — California, which jails more drug users per capita than any other state, now must quickly change course and implement the most ambitious drug treatment program in U.S. history.
Last week's passage of Proposition 36, a sweeping initiative requiring treatment instead of imprisonment for an estimated 36,000 drug users each year, thrusts California into mostly uncharted territory.
But as counties rush to make the change by July 1, they can learn from San Francisco, which has bucked the state for years by diverting nonviolent drug offenders into treatment, and Arizona, where voters approved a similar initiative four years ago.
Arizona hands out movie and sporting event tickets and holds picnics for drug offenders who complete treatment programs — anything to reward them for staying clean with the threat of jail no longer hanging over their heads.
Hundreds pay tribute at entertainer's memorial
LOS ANGELES — Hundreds gathered to pay tribute to entertainer Steve Allen and celebrate "a life truly well lived."
Allen, who died Oct. 30 at age 78 of an apparent heart attack, was remembered not only as a talented comedian, musician, composer and author, but also as a man of integrity.
Many of Hollywood's enduring stars, including Milton Berle, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Valerie Harper and Jerry Stiller, attended the memorial service Sunday at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood.
Allen's most enduring legacy was
his creation of The Tonight Show in 1953. The comedian played the piano, chatted with guests, commented on current events and took to the street to interview passersby. His style set the format for today's talk shows.
Recovery of bodies from cable car begins
KAPRUN, Austria — Recovery teams removed the first bodies yesterday of at least 155 people killed after a cable car caught fire as it pulled them through a mountain tunnel toward their ski destination.
The tunnel finally freed of smoke Sunday, more than a day after the fire that destroyed the Kitzsteinhorn cable car. Rescuers entered from the top end to avoid any risk of the car slipping downhill.
The cause of the fire remained unclear. Authorities also were uncertain about the total number of people who boarded the cable car Saturday morning, but said the identities of 155 victims were near certain. Among them were 52 Austrians, 42 Germans, 10 Japanese, eight Americans, two Slovenes and a Croat.
Authorities had names but no nationalities for the remaining 40 missing people.

Mexico ruling party will not regain control
GUADALAJARA Mexico
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Mexico's ruling party fought to win back powerful Jalisco state Sunday, but exit polls indicated that the conservative party of President-elect Vicente Fox would be around for another six years.
Jalisco's elections were an important test for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has been struggling since July when it lost its first presidential race in seven decades.
But they served just as much as a test of Fox's National Action Party, which took power in Jalisco in 1995 and has since faced criticism that it has fallen into the same corruption and incompetence that voters had associated with the PRI.
The exit polls showed Francisco Ramirez of National Action, known as the PAN, beating out Jorge Arana of the PRI. Raul Vargas of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party was a distant third in all the polls.
