A column in The University Daily Kansan's Tuesday issue contained an error. The column, "Uninformed voters should stay home, not 'get out the vote,'" should have stated that the comments from the Student Legislative Awareness Board were made by both Jeff Allmon and Johanna Maska.
In a story published yesterday, it was falsely stated that Christina Garcia authored the anthology The Proper Study of Mankind: An Anthology of Essays, which was actually authored by Henry Hardy, Roger Hausheer (Introduction), Isaiah Berlin, and Noel Annan. Garcia has an anthology due out in May titled Incubanismo: The Vintage book of Contemporary Cuban Literature

Group to plan protest of military training site
The KU Latin American Solidarity group will host an organizational meeting and film showing for its
School of the Americas protest trip tonight at 7:00 at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread St. The School of the Americas, also known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, is a U.S. military-training institution in Fort Benning, Ga. The institution provides instruction in Spanish to Latin American and U.S. military personnel, and to Latin American civilians and police forces.
Amanda Cott of the KU Latin American Solidarity group said she was protesting the School of the Americas because it had a long history of training soldiers to terrorize, torture and massacre while using American tax dollars for funding.
"I feel it's important for us to go protest and let our message be heard," Cott said, "that it's not OK for our government to do this in our name."

The group will leave for Georgia Nov. 15 and return Nov. 17 after the protest. Students interested in joining the protest trip should attend the meeting tonight, as well as mandatory non-violence training at ECM on Nov. 10. For more information, contact Amanda Cott at acott@ku.edu or 856-5310.

Sniper's message affects Washington-area schools
KENSINGTON, Md. — Worried parents sent their children off to school with extra-tight hugs yesterday, defying the sniper's warning that children were not safe "anywhere, at any time." Thousands also kept their kids at home.
Investigators waited three days to reveal the threat against children, which was contained in a letter found after a shooting Saturday in Ashland. Va.
Authorities briefly shut down an interstate northwest of Washington after a report that men in a white truck had pointed a gun at a school bus. Police said they could not confirm whether the driver had seen a gun.
Meanwhile, schools across the region reported below-average attendance yesterday.
