Mount Oread Program announces scholars
The Mount Oread Scholars Program recently announced the names of 320 freshman who are this year's Mount Oread Scholars.
This year had the most scholars since the program began in 1996. The program has grown by 100 students since last year.
The program offers opportunities to first-year students who graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school classes and earn scores of 28 to 30 on the ACT.
Students who were chosen as Mount Oread Scholars received personalized advising during summer orientation and the option to enroll in smaller classes taught by experienced faculty members. They also were given advisers in the academic field of their choice.
Sponholtz said the program, which was part of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, had been highly successful in serving students.
"We're trying to attract academically capable students who don't automatically qualify for admissions to the honors program," said Lloyd Sponholtz, program director.
"It has been successful in attracting high-caliber students and definitely successful in retaining them," he said.

Man receives probation for sexual battery
A 21-year-old Leawood man who pleaded no contest in September to aggravated sexual battery for touching and kissing a female KU student at a 1999 Halloween party was sentenced to three years probation Friday.
Andrew Lowe will spend three years in community corrections, which includes community service as one of its provisions. He also must register as a sex offender.
"You've done quite well up to this point in time, and this is one of the milestones," Michael Malone, Douglas County District Court judge, told Lowe during the sentencing. "I don't want you to consider this the end of the road."
Low enrolled in a long-term treatment program in Arizona on his own
in November 1999, his attorney said Friday, even though Lowe was not formally charged in the battery until February 2000.
Lawrence police said there were two victims in the battery, which took place at a party in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street. Lowe only was charged in one of the cases.
Neither of the victims was present at the sentencing because they had chosen to move on, said Angela Wilson, Douglas County assistant district attorney.
Man arrested after robbing delivery driver
Lawrence police arrested a man Thursday who was believed to have robbed a Gumby's pizza delivery driver at 2 a.m. that morning.
David Roubison, 20, was charged with robbery Friday in Douglas County District Court and was still being held yesterday in the Douglas County Jail on $10,000 bond.
Det. M.T. Brown said Roubison was believed to be one of two men who followed a pizza delivery driver to the 1400 block of Apple Lane, grabbed the driver's throat and demanded money and the pizza the driver was delivering.
Police said that two men had instigated the robbery but that the second had not yet been arrested.
Brown said police were close Friday to the other's arrest and were working with the district attorney's office to obtain a search warrant.
Brown said police were able to find Roubison because the delivery driver got the car's license-plate number.

Judge says Clinton influenced his decision
ALBUQUERQUE — A federal judge who sentenced a convicted perjurer to one year in prison instead of the recommended five said he based his decision partly on the fact that President Clinton asked for leniency when facing perjury charges.
Chief U.S. District Judge James Parker told prosecutors it seemed "terribly unfair" that the Department of Justice was trying to "pillorize" Ruben Renteria Sr. when Clinton was asking for leniency, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
Clinton was found in contempt of court and fined $90,000 by a federal judge in Arkansas for lying about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case. A state court panel has recommended he be disbarred.
prosecutors later charged him with perjury after he denied signing a consent form that gave investigators permission to search his property.
Parker imposed the 15-month sentence again, saying Renteria had served the original sentence and that Clinton's pleadings were the "icing on the cake."
He was convicted of perjury in 1996, but the 15-month sentence Parker imposed was thrown out on appeal.
Astronauts connect space-station cables
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — With a joyous whoop, two astronauts floated out of space shuttle Discovery yesterday and hooked up cables and antennas on the newest addition of the international space station.
Renteria, 49, was acquitted of drug-conspiracy charges in the 1990s, but
In the first of four spacewalks planned for this ambitious space station construction mission, Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao connected a series of power and data cables between the aluminum framework, a girder-like truss and the space station's Unity module.
The men also rearranged two antennas on the truss. They attached the more powerful dish antenna to the end of a 12-foot boom and gently swung it out.
To NASA's disappointment.,hardly any of the spacewalking work was seen down on Earth.
Astronauts never have attempted four spacewalks before on a space station mission. The most spacewalks conducted on a single shuttle flight is five; that was for critical repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Women march protests poverty, mistreatment

The movement's international delegation planned to meet today with IMF and World Bank officials to seek greater debt relief and improved lending for poor countries. The same group will meet with U.N.
