Edwards campus to start new building construction
Construction will begin on a new building at the Edwards campus Monday morning after a groundbreaking ceremony at the site.
The 82,000-square-foot building will have faculty offices, an auditorium and 21 classrooms, which will help accommodate increased enrollment. Upon the building's completion in 2004, enrollment at the Edwards campus is expected to double to 4,000 students.
"We've maxed out our classroom space," said Elaine Warren, public relations director for the campus. "It is our hope to increase our degree programs and, in doing so, we need to expand the campus."
The building has been made possible by $17.8 million in private donations from the revenue bonds, Hall Family Foundation, and the Victor and Helen Regnier Charitable Foundation of Leawood, for whom the building will be named.
Students to solicit hair to benefit children's group
Students have organized Rock Your Locks Off, a program to benefit Locks of Love, a nonprofit group that provides custom-fitted wigs to children with medical hair loss.
Stylists will be on Wescoe Beach from 9:30 a.m.to 3:30 p.m.Tuesday to make initial cuts for donors.Donors will then receive gift certificates for free follow-up haircuts from Headmasters, The Total Look, Sakaroff's or Get Ready salons.
Donors' hair must be at least 10 inches long, dry and undamaged.
The event is sponsored by KJHK and organized by Brenda Pollom, St. Louis senior, who will also be donating
her hair.
Pollom said she hoped about 45 students would join her in making donations.
"People have already been dropping off hair at my house," Pollom said. "It's kind of gross. I'm keeping them in a box, and they're all bagged up."
For more information on the event, e-mail Pollom at brendor@ku.edu.

Tuesday accident victims still hospitalized
The KU student and the Johnson County Community College student who were injured early Tuesday in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer are still being treated at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
Driver Joshua Ian Lawrence Walton, Olathe sophomore, was in critical condition yesterday and his passenger Ryan D. Galemore, JCCC student and former KU student, was in serious condition.
The two men from Olathe were injured Tuesday after a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer that was driving the wrong way at about 2 a.m. Tuesday on Kansas Highway 10. Both were taken by air ambulances to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Horace Jordan, the driver of the tractor-trailer, was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by ambulance. He was treated and then released.
Douglas County Sheriff Glenn R. Trapp said deputies were still investigating the accident. After the investigation is complete, it will be forwarded to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.
