Former student to study at Oxford as Rhodes scholar
The University of Kansas has just added another student to its list of Rhodes scholars. At 24, KU has produced more Rhodes scholars than any other Regents university since the program's establishment in 1903.
Judges announced Saturday evening that Robert Chamberlain of Topeka, May 2002 graduate, secured the $50,000 scholarship for two years of graduate study at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
The foundation also awarded a Rhodes scholarship to a Kansas State University senior Ben Champion of Olathe.
Thirty-two scholarship recipients are selected annually through interviews and research. After competing as a finalist for the award last year, Chamberlain revised his research plan of studying international applications of the regime theory. Developed in 1980, the theory examines strengths and weaknesses of political regimes.
Chamberlain said he would leave for Oxford in October and finish his study in May of 2005.
Chamberlain, a U.S. Army second lieutenant, is serving as a field artillery officer for the 101st Airborne Division. He said he would finish his officer basic training course in April and resume his military service in Fort Campbell, Ky., upon his return to the United States.

Cardinal stays away from church, protest
BOSTON—Facing outrage from priests and parishioners over new revelations of clergy misconduct, Cardinal Bernard Law stayed away from the Cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday as protesters renewed calls for his resignation.
Some 400 protesters gathered outside the cathedral, where Law had been expected to celebrate Mass, as they have since the abuse scandal erupted in January.
Yesterday's protest was fueled by last week's release of new internal church documents containing some of the most spectacular allegations yet, suggesting church officials tolerated a wide range of clergy misconduct, and not just sexual abuse of boys.
"His presence here is hindering the ability of the victims to come out. He is the real voice of dissent here. He is the one flouting Catholic teachings time and again," said Jean Garrity, 43, of Wellesley, a member of the group Voice of the Faithful.

Israeli troops shoot mother and children
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip—Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian woman and wounded her three children as well as a second woman in a refugee camp yesterday, Palestinian witnesses said.
Israel said soldiers shot at armed Palestinians trying to infiltrate a Jewish settlement and had no information on civilians being shot.
Early yesterday, two Israeli soldiers were wounded seriously when a bomb went off on the Israel-Lebanon border. Two other soldiers were wounded when a bomb exploded next to their jeep near the West Bank town of Tulkarem, army officials said.
The military said soldiers saw a group of Palestinians approaching the settlement of Rafiah Yam. The soldiers opened fire on the Palestinians and saw Palestinians take four wounded people away while two others escaped, the military said.
But a Palestinian witness, Samir Abu Shahin, said Israeli soldiers opened fire at the Tel Sultan refugee camp, which is near the settlement.
"The woman and her family were walking in the middle of the street, and I saw her fall, and blood covering her body, and not far from her, the two children also fell."
The woman, Nahla Aqel, 40, died of a bullet wound in the neck, Shahin said.
Her 4-year-old son was shot in the head and her 14-year-old daughter was shot in the back.

Brandy, Leslie and Carey sign copies of the "Women of KU" calendar at the Jayhawk bookstore. The autograph session Friday marked the first year the store obtained rights to the calendar. Janet Muggy, wife of the owner, said the day did not go without a hitch. They had to reprint the front cover, so we only got about 300' of the 3,000 copies ordered. She said the event did however, bring more business to the store. The company plans another signing Friday from 2-4 pm. The calendar women said they did not want to release their last names for privacy reasons.
U.N. weapons inspectors receive Iraqi weapons report
The nuclear component of the declaration arrived earlier yesterday in Vienna, Austria, where the International Atomic Energy Agency is based. The chemical, biological and missile components of the dossier will be analyzed and translated by U.N. inspectors based in New York.
UNITED NATIONS Iraq's massive dossier detailing its chemical, biological and nuclear programs arrived yesterday in New York, where U.N. weapons inspectors plan to comb through the voluminous report to determine whether Baghdad is complying with Security Council resolutions.
Two copies of the 12,000-page dossier arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt, Germany, at 7:45 p.m.
One copy of the declaration is for the Security Council and the other is for the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, known as
UNMOVIC, which oversees the search for biological and chemical agents.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the IAEA's director-general, said analysts in Vienna began work immediately on the declaration, "including the painstaking and systematic cross-checking" of the information it contains. Iraq's account will be compared with intelligence provided by other nations and with data from past and present inspections, he said.
