Congressman to speak with students tomorrow
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., will meet with two groups of KU students tomorrow to discuss public speaking and Congress' efforts to remove land mines.
At 11 a.m., Moore will meet with students enrolled in Introduction to Rhetoric and Social Influence to discuss public speaking strategies Moore used during his campaign, said Robert Rowland, professor of communications studies and instructor of the course.
"It's a chance for a class that focuses on public persuasion to talk to someone who does it," he said.
Later in the day, Moore will join a panel discussion on land mine detection, sponsored by KU International Programs. The 1 p.m. discussion will take place at Anderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Suspect shoots himself near Wichita school
WICHITA — A suspected bank robber shot and killed himself in his pickup truck near an elementary school about 10 minutes after classes had ended for the day, authorities said.
Most students had already left the grounds of Washington Accelerated Elementary School, but at least one saw the man stop the truck and shoot himself about 4:20 p.m. Monday, a school district spokeswoman said.
Police yesterday identified the man as Jeffrey L. Lenington, 42, of Choctaw, Okla. He was pronounced dead at a Wichita hospital.
Officers investigating the 4 p.m. armed holdup of a Bank of America branch had stopped him on the street because his truck matched the robber's vehicle, FBI Special Agent Randal Wolverton said.
After the shooting, school officials tried to contact parents so they could escort children who would walk near the truck on their way home.
Michelle Moore, who walked her daughter:home, questioned why police would stop a robbery suspect so close to a school.
"Thank God she wasn't outside when it happened," Moore said of her daughter, Jessica, 11.

Lawyer upholds decision in states' water dispute
DENVER — A lawyer appointed by the Supreme Court has backed Colorado's calculation for the amount of money owed Kansas in the states' longrunning battle over use of Arkansas River water.
1994.
On Monday, Special Master Arthur Littleworth agreed that Colorado owes Kansas $28.9 million for taking too much water from the river from 1950 to
The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that Colorado violated the 1949 Arkansas River Compact by allowing farmers to pump too much water.
tion.
Kansas had sought $52.8 million in damages, claiming Colorado owed it interest on damages during that time. Colorado's calculation includes interest on damages incurred starting in 1985, when Kansas filed its lawsuit against Colorado.
Last year, the court ruled Kansas was entitled to money as well as water from Colorado. Since then, the two states have been arguing over how much.
The U.S. Supreme Court still must approve *Littleworth's* recommendation.
