CORRECTION
A column in Fridav's Kansan by Kansas State Collegian writer Chris Shank, referred to former Kansas quarterback Mario Kinsey as a "pot-head." Kinsey was arrested May 25, 2002 and charged with possession of marijuana after being arrested while riding in a car that was pulled over for reckless driving.
Shank also stated Dion Rayford was seeking free food at Taco Bell in November 1999. Rayford was arrested for assault, criminal damage and transporting an open container, when he jumped through a Taco Bell window. There has been no proof that Rayford was seeking free food.

Face painting to benefit Thanksgiving for homeless
KJHK is sponsoring a face-painting event today to raise money for the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen's Thanksgiving feast, an organization that serves an average of 400 homeless and housebound people in Lawrence every Thanksgiving.
For $1, students can get their faces painted to show school spirit for the men's basketball team's first game of the season tonight.
"People can do something fun for the basketball game and do something that will make a difference and help out at the same time," said Robin Parker, project coordinator.
The event is on the third floor of the Kansas Union today from 12 to 3 p.m.

Budget cuts motivate students to register to vote
Another 3,428 KU students have registered to vote in Kansas following the University's voter registration drive, coordinated by the Student Legislative Awareness Board.
Less than 2,000 KU students registered during the drive in 2000,a presidential election year.
Jeff Allmon, community affairs director for SLAB, said civic responsibility had been the goal in previous drives, but budget cuts to the Univer
sity helped motivate this year's campaign.
"Higher education is an easy target, especially when you've got a group of people who don't usually vote," Allmon said.

State funding aids homeland security effort
The Department of Defense is giving $3.5 million for University of Kansas bioterrorism defense projects.
The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is receiving $1.5 million for research on developing temperature-indifferent vaccines that won't become impotent because of heat variation.
The Natural History Museum is getting $2 million for the further development of already existing computer programs that can predict the geographic spread of harmful biological warfare agents.
The funding was announced Friday at a Lawrence Chamber of Commerce luncheon by Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan.
"It is important that our universities in Kansas have the opportunity to contribute to homeland security efforts," Roberts said Friday.

Dozens injured in collision on California freeway
NATION
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Nearly 200 cars and big-rig trucks collided on a foggy stretch of Long Beach Freeway early Sunday, injuring dozens of people, nine critically, and closing the highway for hours.
"The fog was thick and all you saw on the horizon was the cars piled up in both directions," driver Rob Ziegler told KABC-TV.
California Highway Patrol Officer Joseph Pace said 194 vehicles, including seven or eight tractor-trailers, were involved in two separate pileups about a half-mile apart. Some cars were buried under others, and some of the injured had to be cut from their vehicles.
