CAMPUS Minority group funding bill to be voted on by full Senate
The Black Student Union is one step closer to getting $3,245 from Senate.
chosen to getting 63,245 from Counter Last night, the Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees passed a bill allocating money to the group, which could use the funds to send 65 members to the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government at the University of Missouri.
The bill will go to full Senate Wednesday night for a final vote.
The Black Student Union originally asked for $4,355, but its members agreed to a lesser amount because some members of the Finance committee raised concerns about Senate going over budget if it kept giving large sums of money to groups.
Jamel Bell, graduate senator, said Senate budget concerns should not be held against the Black Student Union.
Bell, who put the bill together, said giving money to the group would help minority recruitment and retention efforts at the University of Kansas and that it would send a positive message to minority students.
The Finance and University Affairs committees also passed a bill allocating $4,000 to the School of Architecture and the Architecture Student Union to pay for two speakers to come to the KU.

New York woman dies of anthrax exposure
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A hospital worker with a mysterious case of inhalation anthrax died early yesterday, the nation's fourth fatality in one month of bio-terrorism.
Kathy T. Nguyen, 61, died three days after check ingerself into Lenoox Hill Hospital and is New York City's first case of the inhaled form of the disease.
City's first case of the infestation also yesterday, a post office spokesman said an employee at a second regional mail facility in New Jersey was suspected to have skin anthrax, and White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said a co-worker of Nguyen had a suspicious lesion that has been tested. There are no results yet, he said at the White House.
"Somebody is trying to kill the American people by sending anthrax through the mail." Fleischer said. "The president believes the actions of the government have saved lives. He regrets that these attacks have resulted in the loss of anybody's life."
Nguyen's illness, and that of a New Jersey accountant who contracted the less serious skin anthrax, complicated the investigation by raising new worries that tainted letters are contaminating other mail or that the spores are sickening people by means other than the mail.
Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said worries about "cross-contamination" anthrax spores sticking to pieces of mail at
The inspector in charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service's main forensic laboratory told The Associated Press yesterday that investigators were confident that there had been only three anthrax-tainted letters sent through the mail, despite concerns from medical experts that not all envelopes containing anthrax had been found.

The latest victims raised the number of confirmed anthrax cases to 17 nationwide since the outbreak began in early October. Ten have the inhaled form, including the four who died. The others have less-severe skin infections.
The others have less severe Nguyen, an immigrant from Vietnam who lived alone and commuted to the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital by subway from the Bronx, worked in a basement supply room. Until recently, the space had included a mailroom, but there was no evidence of any suspicious letter.
Thomas Rich, a co-worker of Nguyen, said "almost everyone in the hospital came in contact with her," because she delivered supplies to various departments and offices.
Up to 2,000 hospital workers, patients and visitors who have been to the hospital since Oct. 11 are being offered antibiotics, officials said Tuesday. The hospital was closed and other hospitals in the city were alerted to take precautions and report any suspicions.
Taliban says it's ready to talk
President Bush launched the air assault after the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, chief suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.
United States "That's the message for Americans," chief Taliban spokesman Amir Khan Muttaqi said in an interview with the first Western reporter allowed into Kabul since the bombing began Oct. 7.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Four weeks into the U.S.-led air campaign, a senior Taliban official said yesterday the ruling militia is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict — but as a sovereign nation and not "a province of the United States."
"We do not want to fight," Muttaqi added. "We will negotiate. But talk to us like a sovereign country. We are not a province of the United States, to be issued orders to. We have asked for proof of Osama's involvement, but they have refused. Why?"
The Associated Press
they have Before the bombing campaign began, Bush brushed aside offers from the Taliban to negotiate bin Laden's status — including offers to hand him over to a third country or even try him here under Islamic law.
The United States has repeatedly said the demand to surrender bin Laden and his lieutenants in the al-Qaida network is not negotiable, and waves of bombers have pounded the capital and other cities.
