Fraternities to run for leukemia benefit
Members of the Lawrence and Manhattan chapters of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will run the game ball for the Kansas-Kansas State University football game from Manhattan to Lawrence in the 27th annual Phi Gamma Delta Run for Leukemia today.
The run begins in Manhattan early today and ends at the Phi Gamma Delta house in Lawrence tonight.
The two Phi Gamma Delta chapters organize the run each year in memory of Rod Morgan, a fraternity brother who died of Leukemia in 1974.
All proceeds are donated to the Kansas Chapter of the Leukemia Society of America.
A check will be presented by the fraternity to a representative of the Morgan family during halftime of the game.
Last year, the run generated $39,000 for cancer research.

Senator wants to avoid lawsuit in water dispute
TOPEKA — U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts doesn't like talk by two environmental groups about filing a federal lawsuit involving water quality standards for Kansas.
Roberts said yesterday that he thought state officials and the Environmental Protection Agency can work out their differences involving standards proposed by the federal agency.
The senator contends a lawsuit would make finding a compromise more difficult.
Critics, including state officials and agriculture groups, contend the EPA standards would be too burdensome, require too much paperwork and force local communities to spend millions of dollars. The EPA has portrayed the cost of its proposed standards as minimal.
The Sierra Club and the Kansas Natural Resource Council notified the EPA on Wednesday that they plan to file a lawsuit if the EPA does not put its proposed standards into effect by Sunday, Dec. 3. The groups contend the standards should have taken effect Sunday under the 1972 federal Clean Water Act.
"I would hope we could work something out," he said. "If we're just granted a little more time, we could get past this."
But Roberts said the EPA has expressed a willingness to work with Kansas officials.

Company wants time to switch area codes
Southwestern Bell has asked the Kansas Corporation Commission to reconsider its schedule for putting the 620 area code into effect. Under the commission's plan, a period of "permissive" dialing, where people could use either the old or new area code, would be in effect from Jan. 1 until March 31.
TOPEKA — The largest local telephone service company in Kansas is worried that state regulators haven't given it enough time to prepare for a new area code in southern Kansas.
The commission's plan would split the Wichita area from the rest of the state covered by the 316 area code. The Wichita area would keep 316, while other communities would have 620.
The new area code will be the state's fourth. The
785 area code, for northern Kansas outside the Kansas City metropolitan area, took effect in 1997. The Kansas City region kept the 913 area code
Each area code has nearly 800 three-digit prefixes available. Each prefix can have 10,000 numbers. That means an entire area code has about 8 million seven-digit numbers available.
Under the commission's decision, the 316 code will cover most of Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick counties and small pieces of Cowley, Reno and Summer counties. Besides Wichita, it will include Augusta, Derby, Newton, Haysville and El Dorado
The 620 area code will cover the rest of the territory now covered by the 316 area code.
