CAMPUS Blood drive exceeds daily goal of 100 pints
The University of Kansas Blood Drive exceeded its goals every day last week.
Ben Kirby, Interfraternity Council Vice President for philanthropy and community service,said each donation location wanted to collect at least 100 pints of blood daily. Instead, each location had 120 to 140 pints donated by the end of every collection time.
Kirby attributes the success of this semester's blood drive to good publicity and good weather.

Judge allows photos in Wichita murder case
WICHITA—A judge ruled that jurors could see gruesome crime scene and autopsy photos in the multiple murder trial of Jonathan and Reginald Carr.
The hearing was designed to give defense attorneys a chance to object.
The judge gave an hour apiece to the prosecution and each brother's defense team to present their opening arguments today. He told them jurors would also be allowed to take notes during the trial.
Ron Evans, attorney for 22-year-old Jonathan Carr, objected to the introduction of many crime scene and autopsy photos, saying they were gruesome. John Val Wachtel, attorney for 24-year-old Reginald Carr, joined in the objections.
The defense attorneys also wanted to exclude photos of their clients being taken into jail and what they called prejudicial photos showing the victims while they were alive. They also objected to including a photo of a dog killed the night of the attacks.
The Carrs are facing a combined 113 counts including capital murder, kidnapping, robbery, burglary, rape and criminal sodomy, among other crimes.

Bush gaining support from Congress for war
WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders said yesterday a resolution authorizing war against Iraq, expected to pass with little dissent, would strengthen the U.S. hand at the United Nations and increase pressure on Saddam Hussein to disarm.
President Bush, after a weekend in Maine, returned to the White House and prepared to address the nation Monday night from Cincinnati.
A leading moderate Democrat suggested Bush was winning broad Democratic support for reasons of domestic politics as well as concerns about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
Many Democrats opposed similar legislation that authorized the Persian Gulf War waged by Bush's father in 1991.
Officials not ready to call explosion attack
WORLD
SAN'A, Yemen—An explosion and fire engulfed a French oil tanker yesterday off the coast of Yemen, and the tanker owner said a small boat struck the vessel in a "deliberate attack."
Yemeni officials, however, said there was no indication the tanker was attacked and that the fire was caused by an oil leak. French officials said it was still too early to say if the explosion was an act of terrorism.
France will quickly send investigators to Yemen, President Jacques Chirac's office said after Chirac spoke by phone with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
