Senate meets tonight in McCollum Hall lobby
Daisy Hill residents will have easier access to Student Senate tonight because its meeting has been moved to McColum Hall.
Marion Marshall, student body vice president, said moving the meeting from the Kansas Union aimed to get more students involved and interested in Senate.
Marshall said tonight's meeting, which starts at 6:30 in McColum's lobby, would probably be the only Senate meeting outside the Kansas Union this semester. In the spring, he said, there would be one or two meetings at campus housing.
At the 6:30 p.m. meeting today in the McCollum Hall lobby, Senate will Vote to approve Senate Judici-

Kansas Union rally supports coming out
KU Queers and Allies will celebrate National Coming Out Day at the Kansas Union plaza from noon to 1 p.m. today.
"it's more of a recognition of coming out and what it means to the community," said Jeremy Wolff, speakers' bureau coordinator for Q&A.
The Douglas County AIDS Project will hand out condoms and information. Queer-friendly businesses will join the festivities. Henry's coffee shop will serve free coffee, and Lunaria Holistic Health Center will provide free massages.
Despite the name of the event, tomorrow isn't necessarily a day for members of the queer community to "come out" to their friends and family.

Student arrested after threatening violence
A KU student was arrested yesterday for alleged threats he made Friday at the Enrollment Center.
Anthony Johnson, Little Canada,
Minn., senior, was charged with crimi
nal threat after supposedly saying that he would get into his class if he had to "kill students" or "take out staff."
The KU Public Safety Office said Johnson admitted to officers that he said things to this extent and that he was just kidding.
Sgt. Troy Malen of the KU Public Safety Office said the victims found it alarming.
"The woman that reported this obviously didn't see the humor in the situation." Mailen said.

Foundation donates to young entrepreneurs
Students can apply for up to $250,000 to start their own business through the school of business.
The Rudd Foundation, a private organization set up by the Rudd family, has announced it will make $1 million available for student entrepreneurs at the University of Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State.
The funding is available to all KU students, and students are invited to apply individually or in teams, said Sanjay Mishra, associate professor of business, who is coordinating the application process for KU students.
Mishra said that the growth of the national economy made now an excellent time to start a business.
"With this funding, a student could take a semester off, take their business to the next stage, come back to school and have a much better idea of what they want out of school," he said.
Mishra will help students develop their ideas and present them to the foundation. Applications will be evaluated on probability of success, originality and the applicant's determination, he said.
Interested students should contact Mishra by Oct. 29 at 864-7528 or smishra@ukans.edu.

Comedian honored for civil rights activism
WASHINGTON — Civil rights activist and comedian Dick Gregory was honored at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
In the 1960s, Gregory was an overweight, chain-smoking comedian who helped open doors for black entertainers. He also took part in civil rights marches and demonstrations, went on hunger strikes for various humanitarian causes and became an advocate for good health and nutrition.
Last year, Gregory, 67, was diagnosed with lymphoma. His friends decided to honor him with Monday night's gala.

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime

Much of the violence yesterday was centered in Israel itself. In the seaside community of Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, two Israeli Arabs were stabbed. In nearby Jaffa, three Arab-owned apartments were burned while some Jews chanted "Death to the Arabs," and descended into the streets to smash car windows and throw stones at police.
Yugoslavia reaches for Western assistance
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — After shunning America during the election campaign, President Vojislav Kostunica's allies are reaching out to the West as they seek to rid the government of the last remnants of Slobodan Milosevic's regime.
Kostunica shunned contacts with the United States during the campaign for the Sept. 24 election because of Serb anger over last year's NATO bombing campaign.
Kostunica planned to meet yesterday with French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine, who will be the first cabinet minister of a NATO country that bombed Yugoslavia to visit Belgrade after last week's uprising.
