Masseuse uses hands-on skill
By Luke Daley

Sabrina Channel runs her new massage clinic out of a small room on the second floor of an office building at 719 Massachusetts. St., Suite D, with only a massage table, a desk and a few chairs to fill the space.
"I went to massage school to make sure that I could get a job doing something I love," said Channel, Springfield, Mo., junior.
From that office, Channel — a premedical major at the University of Kansas — said she hoped to educate her patients about physical therapy and to gain valuable hands-on experience doing work she enjoyed.
"I hope to get a good client
base set up that's pretty regular."
She said that she was going to start a program that offered a 10-percent discount to KU students in need of physical therapy who present their KUIDs.
"It's a key factor in the wellness of the person."
The physical therapy services Channel offers include therapeutic massage, reiki, sports massage, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy.
"A lot of people think of massage as a luxury, and it's more of health maintenance," Channel said.
She said the patients she used to treat at the Lunaria Holistic Health Center, 1101 1/2 Mass. St., decided to take their business to her new clinic
Casey Kelly, who graduated from KU three years ago, said that she had gone to Channel for massages since Channel was her massage teacher.
when it opened Sept. 5.
"I had experienced her messages and decided it was one of the best ones I had ever had," Kelly said.
"I can work part-time and make up to, and even more, than a person who works 40 hours a week," she said.
Along with making people happier, Channel said her job has financial benefits as well.
Channel said her rates for massages were $40 for a halfhour, $50 for an hour and $70 for a hour and a half.

Presentation focuses on national dropout rates need for role models
By J. R. Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
Eulalio Muñoz came to the University of Kansas to prove a point—that he could succeed in school.
Latinos urged to stay in school
But Muñoz, Topeka senior, said he also wanted to help keep other Latino students from dropping out of school early.
He and about 10 other people attended a presentation, "Latino Dropout Rates: What Can We Do?"
The program was given by Angelica Lopez, League of United Latin American Citizens National Education Service Center education adviser.
The center provides educational programs for Latino students from kindergarten through high school.
The Multicultural Resource Center sponsored yesterday's presentation.
Lopez, who is also a KU graduate, handed out a quiz with statistics about Latino students from the U.S. Census Bureau from 1998 to 2000.
Latinos comprise about 12 percent of the U.S. population, but only 9 percent of Latinos make up the total college-enrolled population, according to the statistics.
According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning Web site, Latinos make up just more than 2 percent of the student population at KU, based on enrollment figures from Fall 2000.
"Latinos are more likely to be held back," Lopez said. "That's the No. 1 predictor of students who drop out."
"When I started school, I only spoke Spanish." Muñoz said.
Lopez said an increase of Latino teachers and more multicultural training were needed to keep Latino students in school.
Muñoz, a first generation Mexican American, said he was the first in his family to attend college.
"I had to learn English. I had hard times the first couple of years," he said. "It's part of me being here in college — to show it's possible to succeed."

Theft: Some items found
Patrick said that some items are recovered. Most often, a suspect is caught and confesses to more than one crime, he said.

"Typically, if a suspect has broken into one vehicle, they've broken into more," Pattrick said.
Reports also are necessary to file an insurance report.
Kermit Cottrell, agent with Allstate Insurance Company, 2449 Iowa St., said two insurance claims often had to be filed.
Auto insurance covered any damage to the vehicle, such as a broken window or damaged dashboard. Home owner's or renter's insurance covered any property stolen from inside the vehicle.
Both insurance policies carry deductibles, usually $500, that must be met before the insurance would cover any loss. Cottrell said.
Shrack said he had insurance for his car, but had yet to contact his insurance company.
