Sarah Bray, St. Louis senior, collects a dollar from Erik Johnson, Bloomington, Minn., sophomore, for the Red Cross to help the disaster victims of Tuesday's terrorist attack. A group of students gathered to collect money for the Red Cross outside Wescoe Hall yesterday and voiced concerns about prejudice against other races in the quest of justice.
Senate board stages forum
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Students called for action to help victims and a beginning to the healing process during "A Time for Healing" last night at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union, a forum for people to talk openly about Tuesday's terrorist attacks.
Matt Steppe, StudentLegislative Awareness Board senator and St. Joseph, Mo., junior, said that coping with the events of the past three
davs was important.
"We should be doing something as our KU community to start healing the wounds." Steppe said.
He said the meeting was meant to be "a time to reflect and think about how our community has changed.
The 17 people who attended the forum, which was sponsored by SLAB, included students, members of Student Senate, KU alumni, and other administrative officials who talked about respecting international students at the University and what people could do locally to help the victims of the attacks.
"I'd like to see Senate take an active role," Steppe said. "Whatever we can do within reason is something we should do."
Jessica St. Clair, Valley Center senior, said that watching the terrorist attacks unfold on television was "an unreal experience."
Sitka Stueve, Olathe graduate student, said she wanted to see the United States find an alternative to retaliation.
"This is so far beyond what we can imagine," St. Clair said.
make peace," Stueve said. "We don't really know who to blame, and that's scary."
"We are in a position to
Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychology at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said most Americans thought that there should have been someone to blame for the terrorist attacks, but students should be respectful of Muslim students at the University.
"A part of what KU is all about is understanding," DeSalvo said.

Honors program revises policies for admission
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Under the trial process, students with high test scores won't be automatically accepted to the program. Instead, interested students must fill out an application and write essay
It could be more difficult to get into the honors program because of a revised admissions process on trial this fall.
Sue Lorenz, assistant director of the honors program, said she hoped the new admissions process would result in more applications.
"In the past, students without high test scores assumed they couldn't get in," she said. "We've had many students who would be excellent candidates that didn't always apply."
Previously, students with an ACT score of 31 or higher or an SAT score of 1340 or higher, National Merit scholars and Summerfield and Watkins/Berger scholars, were automatically accepted into the program.
Lorenz said new criteria included test scores but without a specific minimum score, unweighted GPA, high school curriculum and two essays.
Automatic entrants were honored this year, she said, and the new process could be implemented next year if the trial run was successful.
The new process also will limit the program to students who are really interested in joining, she said.

want to use the program as a resource that fits what they want to do at KU," Lorenz said.
Ashley Holm, Topeka freshman and member of the honors program, said she agreed that every applicant should apply.
"It's nice that a little effort is involved," she said.
Lorenz said students can apply to the honors program at any time, even after they have been at the University for several semesters.

Sarah Zaragoza first remembers feeling proud to be Hispanic after hearing mariachi music and performing traditional dances when she was young.
"It showcases our culture," said Zaragoza, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "I'm proud to be Hispanic because of all the history and culture we represent."
For that reason, Zaragoza joined the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, and as vice president of the group, helped plan events for KU's celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins tomorrow and ends Monday. Oct.15.
"It's important because Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate everything we have achieved and to be able to educate others about the culture and our
many customs and traditions." Zaragoza said.
The theme for the month is "Celebrando Nuestra Herencia, Construyendo Nuestras Tradiciones," which means "Celebrating Our Heritage, Building Our Traditions."
Santos Nunez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, said the theme was appropriate.
