Conference to focus on children's education
The annual conference of the Kansas Association for the Education of Young Children will be Saturday in the Kansas Union, with additional activities in Smith and Fraser halls.
The featured speakers for the conference include KU faculty and other child care providers.
Alita York Cooper, professor emeritus in the department of human development and family life, said she encouraged students with majors that dealt with human services such as sociology, education or nursing to attend the conference. She said the conference would deal primarily with children from infancy through 8 years old.
"Hands-On Science," a preconference workshop, will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Burge Union. The workshop will conclude with a tour of the University's new $3.3 million Hilltop Child Development Center.
Parking for the workshop will be available at the Burge Union and the Hilltop Child Development Center.
The conference costs $25 for students, $42 for members of the association and $60 for nonmembers. There will be a $5 late fee at the door for people who have not preregistered.

Cancer research group given $9.9 million grant
The National Institute of Health has awarded a $9.9 million Center of Biochemical Research Excellence grant to a cancer research group that will be led by KU scientists.
The five-year grant will join researchers from the University of Kansas, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas State University and Emporia State University to form a Center for Cancer Experimental Therapeutics.
The COBRE grant will fund the cancer research efforts of junior faculty members from each institution.
Lester Mitscher, distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry, said the grant money was a tremendous aid for the researchers building their expertise through the project.
"Having this money at a critical
stage is extremely valuable," said Mitscher, who will serve as a mentor. "In addition, it gives them a chance to interact with a variety of senior faculty; the networking and collaboration can be very useful in that sense."

The group of 19 scientists will conduct research through five projects dealing with lung cancer, ovarian cancer, a strain of childhood leukemia, tumor growth and methods to improve the delivery of anti-cancer drugs.

The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby of Ellsworth Hall.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, and members of the student recreation center planning committee will participate in the discussion. Chappell said an architect working on the project also might participate.

Chappell said she hoped students would come to the meeting to give their input.

Space shuttle launch delayed again to today
NATION
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Gusty wind forced NASA to call off last night's planned launch of space shuttle Discovery on a space station construction mission.
The flight was already four days late because of mechanical problems. Launch managers said they would try again today, even though wind weather could still be a problem.
Discovery's seven astronauts will attach two new segments to the space station: a gyrder-like truss that holds motion-control gyroscopes and antennas and a shuttle docking port. Four walkaleks are planned on four consecutive days.
