Kevin Audley, 20, Prairie Village freshman, fell 2 feet from a second-story window last Thursday at Kappa Sigma, 1045 Emery Road. Audley suffered a broken arm when he slipped on a wet window ledge and landed on concrete.
He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and later transferred to the Medical Center because of possible head injuries.

Chen takes on KU orchestra

The atmosphere in 218 Murphy Hall was vibrant with tense energy Monday afternoon as music professors Zuohuang Chen and Charles Hoag made the final selections for orchestra positions.
Four days of intensive interviewing and auditioning had revealed a shortage of stringed instrument players, but Chen, the new associate professor of music and director of orchestral activities, said he was excited about a potentially productive year.
"I'm not too worried about the quantity." Chen told Hoag. "I'm more interested in the outstanding musicians that we have accepted."
Chen will be conducting the KU Symphony Orchestra and teaching graduate classes at KU this year before returning to China, his homeland, to conduct the Central Philharmonic Orchestra in Peking.
"I feel very lucky to be the first, and only, conductor sent by the Chinese to study in the United States," Chen said. "They usually send scientists and engineers, not artists."
Thomas Stidham, assistant director of bands, said, "We're really excited about Chen being here. We think he's just dynamite."
Chen comes to KU after having
studied four years at the University of Michigan with Gustov Meier, one of the most famous American conducting professors, Chen said.
Chen received a master's degree from the University of Michigan and nearly has completed a doctorate in music arts. Later this fall, he will take his final oral exam with his dissertation committee.
Chen said he also received valuable instruction during two summers at the Tanglewood Music Center, a music school in Boston. The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra.
Conducting, however, was not his first musical emphasis. As a high school student, Chen was accepted at the Central Conservatory in Peking to study piano.
The 1970s' cultural revolution interrupted Chen's music education. Chen said it was an especially difficult time for musicians like him who were concentrating their studies in Western music.
After the national upheaval slowed, Chen returned to the Peking conservatory to study conducting. While he was there, he met conductor Seiji Ozawa, who was touring China with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Michigan, Chen conducted several orchestras including professional, community and student orchestras. He also served as a teaching assistant and taught several conducting courses on an irregular basis.
Chen said they became friends, and Ozawa encouraged him to study in the United States. Chen earned a national scholarship to study abroad.
One of the main attractions about KU, he said, was the chance to work with students both in graduate conducting classes and in orchestra rehearsals.
"Music is the best vehicle to share and appreciate the arts," he said. "Music can cross cultural boundaries because even people who speak different languages can understand music."
Chen said he hoped to share a treasured cultural heritage with students and audiences by selecting music that both groups of people will enjoy.
While studying at the University of
For the last two weeks, since Chen moved to Lawrence with his wife, Zaiyi Wang, he has been auditioning students, studying musical scores, listening to tapes of University performances and researching past concert programs.
"It's very important to choose the right music for the orchestra and for the audience," he said. "If the music is too easy, the orchestra will not be challenged, but if the music is too difficult, musicians may become discouraged and give up."
Church completion expected in spring
By Nicolette Kondratieff Of the Kansan staff
After two years of discussion and debate, the construction on the St. Lawrence Catholic Center should be finished by early spring, the Rev. Vince Krische said yesterday.
Krische said that cement for the church's basement was poured yesterday. R.D. Andersen Construction Company Inc. of Topeka is the contracting company.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the center was June 9. Constructed in 2015, the center will serve as a home to the Arts Council of South Dakota.
In April 1983, plans were announced for expansion of the center. People in the neighborhood immediately became concerned about parking and traffic in the area.
The Engel-Neighborhood Association filed a suit against the city in February 1984 opposing construction of the church.
As part of an out-of-court settlement, the City Commission agreed to prohibit parking on Crescent Road and on Engel and Westwood roads.
"All the parking has been taken off the streets," Krische said, "and the controversy has been resolved."
"Presently we have six services a weekend and one every day," Krische said.
Currently, Mass is celebrated in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas University.
He said the new church would hold 392 people. The renovated student center will allow room for 125 people. The center will be used for meetings and lectures.
Otto Schnellbacher, Topeka, a member of the fund-raising committee who has worked on the project for four years, said expansion was necessary.
"We are expecting to have 8,000 Catholic students by 1990." Schnellbacher said.
Schnellbacher said that $1.7 million had been raised in pledges so far. More money is needed to complete the project, he said, but it should be only a matter of time before the rest is raised.
Chris Brennan, St. Louis junior, and public relations co-chairman for the center, said people were already working on the church dedication."
"The only thing we know for sure is that we will send formal invitations to the registered Catholic students," she said.
Brennan said many students were interested in the project. Students, faculty members and alumni were in Lawrence for the ground-breaking ceremony.
"It will be nice to have a church atmosphere," she said. "They have done their best to make Woodruff Auditorium look like a church, but it's just not the same."
Foreign students enjoy ride on KU's Welcome Wagon
Of the Kansan staff
By Rob Tinsley
When Youssef Elshubary came to the United States from Cairo, Egypt, in 1979 to attend the University of Kansas, his first day in the Midwest was a tumultuous experience.
"I didn't know anyone," he said.
"When I arrived, I stayed in the airport two hours. I didn't know what to do."
"So I slept on the lawn of Strong Hall," he said.
Elshoubary finally made his way to Lawrence and searched unsuccessfully for a motel.
This year, Elshouboury has begun a program designed to make other foreign students' first days in the United States much smoother.
The program, Welcome Wagon, is sponsored by the KU International Club and Student Senate. It is made up of a group of KU students who greet foreign students as they arrive at Kansas City International Airport and then drive them to campus. The Wagon made its final run yesterday
after blazing a daily trail to KCI from Aug. 9 to 22.
For some students and participants, the Wagon has provided the beginning of lively friendships, said president of the International Club.
Elshoubay approached the Senate in May seeking funds for the welcoming venture. The club received $300 for postage and use of a car from the KU motor pool, to which the Senate has access.
Elshoburay and several other club members sent 362 letters to students around the world in the first week of June, asking them whether they needed a ride and whether they wanted to attend a reception with Chancellor Gene A. Budig, scheduled for 3:30 p.m., Sept. 17 at Potter Lake. They received 128 replys; 50
They received 128 replies; 50 students wanted rides.
Elsbourary said the Wagon has
the ranks of the international club.
"We sold about 72 memberships in the first week of school already," he said.
