The Kansas University Endowment Association provided more money for the University last year than ever before.
CAMPUS
Endowment contributes record amount of money
KU alumni and friends donated $42.3 million outright after contributing $38.1 million in 1999. The remainder of last year's funds came from pledges, bequests, when friends and alumni included monies for KU Endowment in their wills, and other gifts, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the association.
"Those outright contributions can be in cash, stocks or securities," Scarfe said. "Pledges are donations spread out over a period of years."
Endowment expenditures for KU students, faculty and programs in fiscal year 2000, which ended June 30,
totaled $65.1 million — a 20 percent increase from $54.1 million in 1999 and 47 percent higher than the
$44.4 million it provided in 1998.
KU Endowment provided $16.1 million in scholarships, $2.9 million in loans, $1.8 million in fellowships, and $430,000 in awards and prizes for students.
Record fund raising and high return on investments raised the value of the association's total assets to $1.07 billion — a 3 percent increase from $979 million in 1999.

KU student arrested on charges of assault
A man threatened a security guard with a 2-foot stick with a leather strap on the end early Sunday morning at Naismith Hall, Lawrence police said.
Jeffrey Robert Gleason, Crystal Lake Ill., sophomore, was booked into the Douglas County Jail at 5:23 a.m. Sunday on charges of aggravated assault.
Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown said the guard approached because the man was sitting in his car in a handicapped parking space with his stereo blaring.
Brown said the guard asked the man to move the car because he did not have a handicapped permit. The man then said he was going to get his "boys" and shoot the guard, but did move his car.
The man came back down to the lobby with a group of his friends about 30 minutes later, Brown said. The man had the stick in his pants and told his friends it was for the security guard.
Brown said the man approached the security guard with the stick, and the guard restrained him.
Gleason does not have a bond set.
Johnson County student assaulted with handgun
A 19-year-old Johnson County Community College student was assaulted with a handgun early Saturday morning in the 4000 block of Overland Drive, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown said the student was in his garage with some of his roommates when someone who knew his neighbors came by and started making comments about the student and his roommates. A fight broke out, and the student was hit while trying to break it up. One of the males pointed a dull
gray metal revolver at the student's head. The student's friends quickly pulled the student inside the house.
Brown described the suspect as a white male between 20 and 23 years old. 5-foot-10 and about 175 pounds.

Carnahan's widow will accept Senate position
NATION
ROLLA, Mo. — The widow of Gov.
Mel Carnahan said yesterday she
would do what her husband would
have wanted — accept an appointment
to the U.S. Senate if voters pick
her husband over Republican incumbent
John Ashcroft.
Jean Carnahan has never held public office but was offered a Senate appointment by Gov. Roger Wilson if Missouri voters choose the Democratic governor who died in an Oct. 16 plane crash.
Media polls released during the weekend, and taken after Mel Carnahan's burial, showed the Senate race still statistically tied, as it had been for months.

Israel's deputy defense minister, Ephraim Sneh, announced the army was changing its tactics in dealing with Palestinian gunmen who had been shooting at Jewish settlements and army outposts in the West Bank and Gaza. Sneh said troops would no longer only respond to Palestinian fire but also take the initiative.
