KU group to protest School of the Americas
Latin American Solidarity members will read the names of victims killed by graduates of the School of the Americas today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of Wescoe Hall.
School of the Americas, located in Fort Benning, Ga., has taught Latin American soldiers combat and counter-insurgency techniques.
The victims of the school's graduates include Archbishop Oscar Romero and 900 civilians killed in the El Mozote Massacre.
Anna Wagner, co-president of Latin American Solidarity, said she and many others felt graduates of the School of the Americas were responsible for human rights abuses in Latin America, and students should be aware their tax dollars pay for the school.
"Part of the name reading is to raise awareness on campus and get some support locally," Wagner said.
She said members of the organization would also be going to the protest at Fort Benning, Ga., which will be Nov. 17 through Nov. 19.

Student shot in arm after being followed
LAWRENCE
A 22-year-old male KU student was shot in the arm early Friday morning in the 3500 block of West Sixth Street, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence police Det. M.T. Brown said the student was at the Kwik Shop, 3440 W. Sixth St., when he saw two males with whom he had a confrontation this summer.
Brown said the student reported he was followed by a dark-colored Blazer when he left the convenience store. The student believed the Blazer's occupants were the two men he had seen in the Kwik Shop.
The student pulled over into a parking lot to see what the men wanted. Brown said. He was getting out of his car when he was shot in the arm. He then drove to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Brown said the investigation continued Friday. The victim did not know the suspects' names.

Someone broke into a 22-year-old KU student's residence early Thursday morning while he and his 5 roommates, who all attend the

Student finds neighbor masturbating at dog
A 20-year-old KU student discovered her next-door neighbor masturbating in plain view in the neighbor's backyard at 5:45 p.m. Thursday when she went to call her dog back inside. Lawrence police said.
Lawrence police Det. M.T. Brown said the student saw the 30-year-old man masturbating at her dog. She called for the dog and yelled at the man, but the man only turned towards her and continued.
Brown said the man admitted to the act. He was given a notice to appear in court.
Student victim identified in September battery
Lawrence police have identified the victim of a September battery as a 22-year-old KU student, Lawrence police Det. M.T., Brown said.
Brown said police were called Sept. 22 after a man was knocked unconscious by a rubber-wrapped copper cable when he was leaving a bar at 14th and Ohio streets.
Witnesses told police the man was pushed by a group of people. He pushed back, and someone struck him with the cable. Other patrons picked the man up and drove him to the hospital.
Police did not know the victim's identity until he came into the district attorney's office wanting money for his fractured jaw, Brown said.

Yugoslavian president meets Bosnian leaders
WORLD
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Yugoslavia's new president averted a diplomatic debacle yesterday by meeting Bosnia's political leaders, defusing anger spawned by his decision to use his first trip to the country to attend a ceremony that some said had ethnic overtones.
Vojislav Kostunica's visit was the first a Yugoslav leader has paid to Bosnia, a former Yugoslav republic, since the war there ended half a decade ago.
Sarajevo for the meeting.
Kostunica's stop in Trebinje seemed simple enough. He was attending a reburial service for a Serb poet.
He spent part of the day in the town of Trebine before flying off to
But in Bosnia — which fought to separate itself from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia in 1991 and was ripped apart by ethnic warfare between Serbs, Croats and Muslims — the visit caused an uproar.
The Croat and Muslim members of Bosnia's presidency considered it an insult that the new Yugoslav leader, who is a Serb, would choose an event with nationalistic Serb overtones for his first visit.
The Bosnian government believed it signaled that he had not accepted the country's independence.
Middle East peace talks making no progress
JERUSALEM — Ehud Barak called for a peace "time-out" and Yasser Arafat told him to "go to hell."
The Israeli and Palestinian leaders seemed further than ever yesterday from the peace their U.S. and Egyptian sponsors have tried to salvage.
The violence in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip showed no signs of abating, and the cease-fire called during last week's peace summit was little more than a memory.
Four Palestinians died in clashes yesterday. The death toll from three weeks of violence now stands at 121, most of them Palestinians.
"We need to have a time-out to reassess the peace process," Barak told his weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday.
A statement issued by Barak's office did not say how long the time-out would last.
Israeli negotiators would refuse to meet with their Palestinian counterparts until the time-out was lifted.
Arafat said the Palestinian state would come — with or without Barak's approval.
"Our people are continuing their road to Jerusalem," he said. Whether Barak accepts that or not, "let him go to alma." Arafat said.
The intensification of the rhetoric came despite efforts by Egypt and the United States to salvage the peace process.
Egypt and the United States convened the summit last week at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh that ended with a cease-fire declaration. The Americans said they would continue to work toward bringing the sides together.
President Clinton is still focused on getting the parties to stick to the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement "to get us past the immediate violence," spokesman Elliot Diringer said.
