Senate approves funds for three organizations
Student Senate committees approved funding for three student organizations at last night's meeting.
The Finance Committee approved a bill allocating $320 to Latin American Solidarity. The bill was approved by the Multicultural Affairs Committee two weeks ago but was put on hold by the Finance Committee.
The Finance and University Affairs committees both passed a bill granting $320 to the KU Chess Club and a bill allocating $297 to the Crime and Delinquency Organization.
Senate as a whole must approve the three bills at Wednesday's meeting.
An additional bill to allocate $153 for postage and office supplies to the Korean Student Association was passed in the Multicultural Affairs Committee. The Finance Committee decided to wait until its next meeting to vote on the bill.
Andrew Bailey, Finance Committee member, argued against passing the bill without hearing a representative from the group explain why it needed the funding.
"Seriously, the point of this group (Finance Committee) is not rubber stamping everything, which is what we have been doing so far." Bailey said.
The committee will address the bill again at its next meeting Wednesday, Oct.18.
Police say football season isn't slowing investigation
- Kursten Phelps
The ongoing football season isn't playing a role in the investigation of the two Kansas football players accused of sexually assaulting a female soccer player, Det. M.T. Brown said yesterday.
"We're writing the reports and going through the process," Brown said. "We don't really care if it's football season or not."
One of the two men accused still plays for the Jayhawks, although he is on probation. If charges are filed before the end of the season, he could be dismissed from the team.
The other player was dismissed from the University of Kansas for poor grades, and Coach Terry Allen chose not to renew his scholarship.
Earlier this semester, District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said she had expected the report on the incident by September. However, she said it was hard to get all of the facts of the case with students gone for the summer.

Man attempts entry into women's apartment
An unidentified man attempted to enter an apartment shared by a 26-year-old KU student and her roommate, a 27 year old Lawrence resident, while the women were sleeping early Tuesday in the 2100 block of Heatherwood Drive, Lawrence police said.
Det. M.T. Brown said one of the residents awoke about 3:20 a.m. to a man with a flashlight rustling the blinds on her sliding patio doors. She then saw an arm come through an opening where the man had pried open the door. She began to scream.
Brown said the man pulled his arm back as the resident ran screaming to her roommate's bedroom. The women called 911.
When police arrived, Brown said, the prowler had already left. Pry marks were evident on the door, and the doors were open. Police dusted for fingerprints but have no suspects.
KU graduate cleared of May arson charges
A University of Kansas graduate has been cleared in an attempted aggravated arson case.
The case against Alex M. McCrery was dismissed yesterday, McCrery, a 2000 graduate, was accused of pouring gasoline on the floor of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house and pulling out a lighter in May.

The Athens-Clarke County Commission yesterday voted to buy the trestle from CSX railroad for $25,000 and incorporate it into a bike and pedestrian trail. Now the commission will negotiate with CSX to buy an accompanying 1.9 miles of right-of-way, tentatively priced at $7 million. If the commission does not purchase the right-of-way, the trestle will have to be moved or dismantled at the county's expense.
Arafat requests safety inquiry before talks
WORLD
PARIS — The focus of Middle East peacemaking efforts shifted yesterday to Paris, but Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat demanded two things before he would agree to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Enud Barak; a guarantee of protection for his people and an inquiry into the causes of violence that have swept the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
NATION
ATHENS, Ga. — It's automatic for the people: The trainest must be preserved. Parts of R.E.M. said the abandoned trestle featured on the back of the rock group's breakthrough album, *Mumur*, is a southern landmark worth protecting. They're leading an effort
Arafat told reporters after meeting with French President Jacques Chirac that a three-way meeting with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Barak was not a sure thing. Albright was in Paris to start talks aimed at stopping six days of violence that have left at least 58 people dead in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.
