THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
ROTC cadets continue with daily routines
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
As the nation tries to find a sense of normalcy after last week's attacks, so do the students involved in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
The three branches of KU ROTC — Air Force, Army and Navy — all stressed that cadets should return to their daily routines.
"Our cadets are still attending classes," said Paul Kotakis, Cadet Command representative.
Cadet Command is the parent organization for 270 Army ROTC programs across the country and is based at Fort Monroe, Va.
Col. Kevin McNellis of the Air Force ROTC and Cmdr. Jeff Richards of the Navy ROTC said they agreed with Kotakis that maintaining normalcy was important. The Air Force and Navy, who have about 150 cadets between them, said ROTC students were not at any greater risk for a draft than other KU students.
This is because ROTC is a curriculum program. Most cadets in the program are not commissioned officers and do not have military training.
"Very few of our students are even in the military." Richards said.
But ROTC cadets can help relief efforts and are often called
by local organizations to help, McNellis said.
The Air Force ROTC approached the Red Cross about giving blood after the terrorist attack last Tuesday, McNellis said.
The Red Cross asked the Air Force ROTC to come back in about three weeks, after the initial rush to donate was finished, which is what the Air Force plans to do, McNellis said.
He said the Air Force ROTC also was asked to load trucks of supplies gathered after charity and fund-raising events.
Richards said the Navy ROTC had bulletin boards with postings of ways students could get
involved in relief efforts in their community.
Even though the Army ROTC has no specific relief activities planned, Kotakis said that many Army ROTC cadets participated in volunteer relief efforts on their own.
"I think that the individual cadets themselves probably have a predisposition to go ahead and become involved in community activities." he said.
Cadets in all three branches of KU ROTC were instructed not to comment on the recent activities or their involvement in relief efforts.

Local blood banks flooded with donors
Students are asked to wait until October blood drive to make donations
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Local blood centers have been so overwhelmed with people wanting to donate blood after last week's terrorist attacks that they're asking potential donors to wait until the October blood drive.
The Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Lawrence Community Blood Center are teaming up for a blood drive Monday, Oct. 1 to Friday, Oct. 5 at the University of Kansas.
"We're anticipating this will be the best drive we've ever had at KU," said Jane Blocher, executive director of the American Red Cross, Douglas County Chapter.
Two different locations on campus will be available to students each day.
Blocher said normally only 5 percent of people nationwide donated blood, but people were so desperate to help last week that there was an overflow of donors. She said there were concerns that too much blood would be donated, as blood lasts for only 42 days.
"We are hoping this will increase awareness year around." Blocher said.
Amanda Storm, donor recruiter for the Community Blood Center, which is not-for-profit and doesn't pay people for donations, said that before Tuesday a blood shortage existed in Lawrence.
She said normally the center received about 10 people a day, but last Tuesday and Wednesday more than 200 people showed up. Storm said people were asked to wait until the October blood drive.
"A few of them insisted and wanted to donate last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday." Storm said.
She said blood donated during the October drive would go to local hospitals. If there is extra blood, and the need is still present in

Eric Duncan, Chicago sophomore, said he had planned to donate blood last week, but when he heard people were asked to wait, he decided to wait too.
"This is a situation where I could actually help people out," Duncan said.

Synagogues increase security for holiday
The Associated Press
Synagogues nationwide are working closely with local police and hiring extra security guards for the Jewish High Holy Days, a period of intense personal reflection made more somber this year by the assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Most congregations activate special safety plans during the 10-day period that starts with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and ends with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Security was heightened shortly after terrorists hijacked four commercial jets last week.
Some synagogues were planning to check bags and restrict parking for services starting yesterday at sundown.
Few see an imminent threat. But there is concern that — given recent events — synagogues will become targets for hate crimes during the holiday period, the most important time of the year for Jews.
"Security experts have always told us that 75 percent of security in sanctuaries is awareness," said David Brook, executive director of Beth El Congregation of Phoenix. "I think we're all more aware of it this year than other years."
Yet many rabbits expect greater holiday attendance than usual, as Jews seek comfort in prayer and community after the terrorist onslaught.
Brooke said some congregants had called to express concern about security.
Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, a popular synagogue on Manhattan's upper west side, has hired extra security, banned large bags from the sanctuary and barred cars from entrances to its buildings.
The Park Avenue Synagogue, on the upper east side of Manhattan, began speaking with local police immediately after the attacks. "We've been advised by the FBI and police not to give out specifics," executive director Barry Modlin said.
Two high-profile hate crimes in California two years ago prompted many synagogues to enact the safety plans they are using now.
White supremacist brothers pleaded guilty to setting fire to three Sacramento synagogues and an abortion clinic, and white supremacist opened fire at a Jewish day care center in Los Angeles, injuring three boys, a teen-age girl and an older woman.
Baruch Fellner, president of Keshir Israel in Washington, where Sen. Joseph Lieberman has worshipped, said he sees the safety precautions as more beneficial for their "placebo effect," calming congregations unnerved by recent events, than for preventing any violence.
"Given the kinds of actions that terrorists are prepared to take, they cannot be prevented unless they are discovered in advance," Fellner said.
