CORRECTION
An article in Friday's Kansan contained errors. The article, "University enrollment increases 2.3 percent stated there were 669 more students enrolled at KU in Fall 2002 compared to Fall 2001.
There are 659 more students enrolled Fall 2002 compared to Fall 2001. The article also incorrectly stated this was the largest increase since 1996, but the numbers posted for Fall 2002 represent the largest increase since Fall 1986,when enrollment increased by 1,118 students.

Army picks Fort Riley for training location
FORT RILEY — The Army has selected Fort Riley as the training site for all National Guard and reserve units being deployed outside the United States, the post's commanding general said.
Maj. Gen. Thomas F. Metz said the decision was made last week at the end of a command readiness conference at Fort McCoy, Wis., attended by all U.S. Army Forces Command commanders and command sergeant majors.
The decision means Fort Riley will conduct all major rehearsal exercises for reserve component and National Guard units before they head to such locations as Bosnia and Kuwait.
Fort Riley's task will be to "replicate what the soldiers will see when they deploy," said Metz.
The 35th Division of the Kansas National Guard is already scheduled to train at Fort Riley next summer before assuming the U.S. peacekeeping mission in Bosnia, and the 34th Division from Minnesota will follow, he said.
Also, Metz told his staff Tuesday night he has been assigned to temporary duty as chief of staff for Central Command headquarters in Qatar.

Los Angeles airport evacuates terminal
LOS ANGELES — Part of a terminal at Los Angeles International Airport was evacuated yesterday morning after a man bypassed a security checkpoint, officials said.
The upper level of the terminal, which serves American Airlines and American Eagle, was evacuated while the security breach was investigated, police said.
Bomb-sniffing dogs and bomb squad officers checked the area, and workers and travelers were allowed to return within two hours, police said.
"Everyone is going back to business as usual," said Officer Jack Richter, a police spokesman.
The passenger went the wrong way and bypassed a screening station, authorities said. Police searched for him afterward, but couldn't find him.

Schwarzenegger wants plans for statue scrapped
GRAZ, Austria — Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to terminate a plan to build a giant "Terminator" statue in his hometown.
The Forum Stadtpark wants to build a 25-meter (82-foot) metal statue in a park in central Graz in southern Austria
The statue, which would hold a giant globe above its head, would tower over the park's trees and more traditional statues.
The project would cost about 5 million euro ($4.9 million) — money that has yet to be raised.
Angelika Reitzer, manager for the forum, said Friday that a letter from the 55-year-old actor, who lives in California, said "he was flattered but that he thought it would be better to spend the money on social projects and the Special Olympics."
