Fair offers information answers on foreign study
Students interested in studying abroad can ask questions and get answers during an information fair tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, said the fair would provide information on all of the University's study-abroad programs and 10 non-University programs. Program coordinators and past student participants will answer questions and share their experiences.
Wiley said there were a lot of options to suit a student's individual needs.
Representatives from Council Travel will be available for students who want to travel without studying abroad.

Scholarship established in memory of student
The family of Raymond J. "Jerome" Horton II has established a memorial scholarship in his name through the KU School of Engineering.
Horton was a fourth-year student at the University when he committed suicide in 1997. He suffered from clinical depression.
In memory of their oldest son, Betty and Raymond Horton have established the Jerome Horton Foundation to increase suicide awareness and prevention education as well as to award scholarships. The foundation gave $10,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association to fund the Jerome Horton Engineering Scholarship for KU undergraduate minority students of engineering.
"The Horton family faced a tragic event in a brave and generous way," said Carl E. Locke Jr., dean of engineering. "These funds will allow the School of Engineering to help minority engineering students for years to come. We are very grateful to them and touched by their thoughtfulness."

Student awaits court's decision in MIP case
The case that hinges on whether looking young is reason enough for police to detain someone went before the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday. The case of the State of Kansas v. David L. Pritchett stems from an Aug. 27, 1999, party at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in which Pritchett, a
Wichita junior who was then 19, was detained by an ABC officer for refusing to show identification when asked
The case was originally dismissed by District Judge Paula Martin because she believed the officer did not have a reasonable suspicion to detain and search Pritchett.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson argued in the hearing that the district court had disregarded material facts important to the case.
Sally Kelsey, Pritchett's attorney,
said that there was no reasonable
suspicion in the case and that
Pritchett had every right to refuse to
answer the officer's questions.
The court is expected to have a decision between one and three months from now.
Fake bomb threat forces Naismith Hall evacuation
A bomb threat that was called in to Naismith Hall at 1:26 a.m. yesterday was only a scare, said Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown.
Brown said an unidentified male called in the threat and made some disparging remarks. Brown said someone pulled a fire alarm to evacuate the building, and police searched the residence hall.
"A bomb wasn't found," Brown said.

String of car burglaries has officials searching
Fifteen vehicles were broken into late Monday night and early Tuesday morning in the 3800 and 4500 block of Overland Drive and 700 and 1000 blocks of Monterey Way, said Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown.
At least six of the vehicles belonged to KU students.
Brown said the police looked for similarities between the burglaries to determine if all were committed by the same person or group of people.
Door locks were damaged on all of the vehicles. Many were missing stereo equipment and two of the vehicles were missing tools.
Brown said there were no suspects.

The Kansas Department of Transportation may close one lane of traffic on the bridge above Iowa Street near the Lied Center next week for repairs.
Construction may close bridge over Iowa Street
19 or Wednesday He said he should know today or tomorrow if KDOT would have to close one lane of traffic on the bridge during construction hours. The construction will close one lane of northbound traffic on Iowa State regardless.
Danny Kaiser, director of organizations and leadership, said KDOT's project would begin Tuesday. Sept.
The project is a result of an accident two and a half years ago. A northbound dump truck's trailer fell back and struck the bridge, causing minor damage to the bridge. Kaiser said that it wasn't an immediate safety issue but that KDOT would fix the bridge.
Kaiser said that if the lane were closed, there would be concern with the KU buses and park-and-ride.

AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. George W. Bush is often criticized for his hands-off approach to state executions, but state law leaves little room for governors to act in these life-and-death decisions.
Bush opponents criticize death-penalty decisions
Supporters say Bush, the Republican presidential nominee, allows the 18-member Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to do its job freely by maintaining an arm's-length relationship.
"The governor leaves it up to each parole board member to make their own decisions after they review the case. they're an independent body," said Bush spokesman Mike Jones.
Others contend that Bush does direct the board through his public statements on executions and his power to appoint members to their six-year, $80,000-per-year jobs.
Proposed amendment would limit China trade
WASHINGTON — Supporters of legislation to permanently normalize trade with China girded for a key vote on linking trade relations to China's obeying weapons proliferation agreements.
Sens. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., and Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., on Monday proposed an amendment to the trade bill outlining sanctions on foreign companies and nations that deal in weapons of mass destruction.
The amendment is opposed by both the administration and Senate backers of the trade bill, who argue that unilateral sanctions don't work and that approval of any amendment could effectively scuttle chances for passage this year.
