Ferguson panel draws full house in Lawrence
JAMES LAMB

It was a full house Monday night inside the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, where an expert panel discussed the recent events in Ferguson, Mo.
Hosted by the University's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the panel included Clarence Lang, an associate professor of African and African-American Studies and American Studies at the University, Brendan Roediger, an assistant professor of law from St. Louis University and Jamala Rogers, a columnist for the "St. Louis American" and an editorial board member for both TheBlackCommentator.com and "The Black Scholar."
The free event drew a diverse audience of about 150 people, many of whom stood due to limited seating. Many in the audience came to ask questions and participate in discussions on the recent protests.
shooting of Michael Brown.
The situation's historical background, the impact of the Dred Scott decision of 1857 and the misinformation surrounding Ferguson in the media were all discussed at the event. The speakers expressed how encouraged they were over the wide response to the
"It's been 80 days since Mike Brown was murdered, and when we say 'the events of Ferguson', what we really mean is a movement that has kept his memory alive," said Roediger. "We're not talking about this tonight because a QT burned down. We're talking about this 80 days later because of young people who are doing something different, they're doing something incredible."
"For St. Louis that's huge, because [St. Louis has] been a segregated city for so long," Rogers said. "But some of us have been doing that work for a long time, developing white allies who understand racism."
"You might not win, but at least with a fight, there's an opportunity to determine the terms of surrender."

Jamala Rogers said much of her encouragement stemmed from not just the age diversity of those participating in the Ferguson protests, but the racial diversity as well.
Marketing students adjust to new professors
Students enrolled in Rich Delaney's Marketing 310 and 311 classes received new instructors on Oct. 16, because Delaney is no longer employed by the School of Business.
Students in his classes were given evaluation forms the week of Oct. 7 and were subsequently re-assigned, with lecturer Jana Fitchett teaching 310 and associate professor Aaron Clopton teaching 311.
Austin Falley, communications director for the School of Business, confirmed that Delaney is no longer employed by the University, but personnel matters are consid-
Dalane said the decision to replace him was quick and "questionable." He has not yet received his separation papers from the School of Business, and is waiting until then to comment further.
the university filled Delaney's position from within the School of Business. Fitchett has been with the University since 2006 and Clopton since 2011. Both have consulted with Delaney's former teaching assistants and received feedback from students. Hal McCoy III, a teaching assistant for the 310 class, said he and Fitchett worked together to create a new syllabus that students will receive Tuesday.
ered confidential and no further information regarding the decision has been made public.

The panel also touched on issues including the grand jury investigating the shooting, segregated education in St. Louis and issues relating to the overzealous issuing of warrants. Lang also pointed out the importance of protesters continuing to fight for change.
regarding white people who may feel obliged to defend police, Rogers was blunt.
"We can't end without consideration of what's occurring but also of how people are fighting, and how people have fought," said Lang. "My view is that as long as there's a fight, there's a possibility for a victory. You might not win, but at least with a fight, there's an opportunity to determine the terms of surrender."
"One of the things that [comes up] in conversations that I have with white people about the role of police is how it's different in [their] community, [and so they] can't comprehend this," Rogers said. "In [their] community, they are protecting and serving. That's not the role that they play in our community. Believe me when I tell you what my experience is with police. It's not going to be the same as yours."
In an article titled "LFK Poetry Slam debuts at the Granada" in Monday's issue of the Kansan, Michael Brown was misidentified as Michael Brownback. Also in Monday's issue, two advertisements on page 9 were paid advertising. The cartoon was paid for by Citizens Against Greg Orman and the candidate guide was paid for by Campus Election Engagement.

US governors, Army go own way on Ebola quarantines
As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to Ebola fears, the CDC's recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.
NEWARK, N.J. — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk, but some state governors and even the Army are carving their own paths.
The CDC now says even if people have no symptoms and are not considered contagious they should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola - say, by touching their fluids without protective gear or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.
Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn't warrant quarantine conditions, the public health agency said.
But quarantines are determined state by state in the U.S., and the CDC is empowered only to issue guidelines. And even within the federal government, authorities were improvising Monday: A U.S. Army commander in Italy said he and his troops returning from Liberia would remain in isolation for 21 days, even though he feels they face no risk and show no symptoms. The Army's chief of staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, directed the 21-day controlled monitoring period for all redeploying soldiers returning from the Ebola fight in West Africa, an Army spokeswoman said.
A nurse who volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Africa was released after spending her weekend quarantined in a tent in New Jersey upon her return, despite showing no symptoms other than an elevated temperature she blamed on "inhumane" treatment at Newark International Airport.
