CORRECTIONS
An article in the Sept. 6 Kansan contained an error. In the article, "Good neighbor ordinances keep neighbors in check," Barry Walthall's name was misspelled. Walthall is the code enforcement manager at the Neighborhood Resources Department.
A photo in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly identified Greg Blackwell, also known as DJ Cynsere, as Thornton Cherry, Chicago junior, also known as DJ Speedy.
Also, the accompanying story contained several errors. Cherry did not work at Home Depot and has not lived with his half brother. Cherry is not an employee of the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., though he does spin music there.

'Invest in Your Health at Watkins health fair
The Watkins Memorial Health Center is calling students to "Invest in Your Health" tomorrow as it holds its 15th annual health fair on the Stauffer-Flint lawn. The theme reflects the country's issues with stock market scandals this year, said Melissa Smith, director of health education.
The fair will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and will feature 20 tables from different departments in the health center and health-related organizations in the community, Smith said.
Students can test their sobriety in a field test, listen to a nutritional analysis and race to apply protection in the condom relays, using models of penises.
Participants can register for door prizes after visiting at least five booths. The department of health education will notify the winners Thursday.
Groups such as Counseling and Psychological Services, the Wellness Campaign and the Douglas County AIDS Project will also appear.
Smith said the fair would distribute fruit and trail mix donated by the Community Mercantile and the department of student housing.
Smith said more than 1,000 students dropped by the booths last year.
KU sets record for most Fulbright awards
Eleven University of Kansas faculty members received the Fulbright award this fall, setting a school record for the greatest number of awards.
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars will not release its official report until later this year, but KU international programs staff have discovered that KU is the only school to receive more than 10 Fulbright awards this year, said Anne Merydith-Wolf, communications director for graduate and international programs.
The University had never surpassed the previous school record of 10 awards from 1956-57 and 1962-63.
This year's award winners include Nobleza Asuncion-Landé, professor of communication studies; Paul Cornolli, associate professor of economics; Patrick Dooley, associate professor of design; Joshua Freeman, chairman of family medicine at the KU Medical Center; Sivaprasad Gogineni, professor of electrical engineering and computer science; Anita Herzfeld, associate professor of Latin American studies; Gwynne Jenkins, assistant professor of anthropology and women's studies; Garth Myers, associate professor of geography; Carmen Nikazm, assistant professor of Germanic languages and literatures; Deborah Gerner, professor of political science; and Philip Schrodt, professor of political science.
The Fulbright program, introduced in 1946, serves to increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and those of other countries.
