KANU-FM sets fundraising record with $212,000
The University of Kansas' public radio station, KANU-FM, 91.5, has set a fund-raising record. The station amassed $212,000 in donations and contributions, up $35,000 from its 2001 fall drive.
The station expects this number to go up during the next few weeks because of a mailing sent out six weeks ago that asked for donations. Janet Campbell, the station's general manager and audio reader, said the station was still receiving mail-in donations.
"I think we have a good product," she said. "Our staff does a good job persuading people to give and explaining to them why they should."
Campbell said there were other factors that contributed to the fundraiser's success.
The station just recently expanded its listening area to include Emporia and celebrated its 50th year on the air.
The money collected will be administered by the KU Endowment Association and will be used to cover monetary shortfalls at the station caused by budget cuts.
The station is a charter member of National Public Radio and broadcasts 24 hours a day.Its programming consists of news and classical, jazz, folk, and bluegrass music.

Former V.P. Mondale could run for Senate seat
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Sen. Paul Wellstone's oldest son has urged former Vice President Walter Mondale to step in as his late father's replacement on the Nov. 5 ballot, Democratic leaders said yesterday. One source who has spoken to Mondale said he is likely to accept.
"Based on the family's request to him, it is highly likely he will run," the source said on condition of anonymity. "It would be surprising if the vice president did not run."
wellstone's surviving family members weren't immediately available to comment, the late senator's campaign
staff said.
Minnesota Democrats will meet Wednesday to officially pick the substitute candidate for Wellstone, who died Friday in a plane crash.
If Democrats succeed in drafting Mondale, it will give them a powerhouse candidate for a six-day campaign against Republican Norm Coleman, the former St. Paul mayor who entered the race at the urging of President Bush.
The race had been tight between Coleman and Wellstone and was a top target of Republicans trying to regain control of the Senate.
Gov. Jesse Ventura still hasn't decided whether to appoint a temporary successor who would serve until the election winner is officially certified. If he names someone, it probably will be a Democrat and someone who doesn't plan to run for the office, he said.

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico—The White House said Saturday it would be not very hard at all to assemble an alliance to confront Saddam Hussein without the United Nations, a clear signal that President Bush's patience with the international organization is reaching its limits.
U.S. says it could confront Iraq without U.N. backing
As France, Russia, Mexico and other allies seek to water down his zero-tolerance approach to Iraq, Bush renewed his call for the U.N. to confront Saddam or stand aside while the United States acts.
"If the U.N. does not pass a resolution which holds him to account and that has consequences, then, as I have said in speech after speech after speech, if the U.N. won't act — if Saddam Hussein won't disarm — we will lead a coalition to disarm him," the president said at the 21-nation Asian-Pacific Economic Community forum
Later, Secretary of State Colin Powell said the prospects for a tough resolution may be slipping away.
"I think we have successfully narrowed down the differences to a few key issues." Powell said.
