Committee to consider blood drive bill again
The Student Senate bill allocating $1,512 for advertising for the University blood drive made its way back to the Senate floor yesterday in the first full Senate meeting of the year. But before it could reach a vote, Senate, in a 27-25 vote, approved an appeal that sent the bill back to the finance committee next Wednesday.
The bill was voted down by the Senate finance committee last Wednesday, but made it to the Senate floor through an appeal from the Student Executive committee. Kyle Johnson, finance committee chairman,made the appeal on the grounds that the finance committee had not addressed the financial merits of the bill in last week's committee meeting.
The bill would pay for advertising in The University Daily Kansan.
Jason Rannard, Queers and Allies senator and Grand Island, Neb. sophomore, said the appeal was a good move in representing the student body.
"Now we'll be able to discuss the funding and discrimination issues of the bill," Rannard said.
Andy Knopp, business senator and Manhattan junior, spoke on behalf of the bill. He said even if the bill did pass in committees next week, it would still have to be approved by full Senate, meaning there wouldn't be much time to advertise. The blood drive begins
Sept. 30.

"feel like people are dodging the issue," Knopp said. "Essentially this blood drive will not be funded by the Student Senate."

New cell phone study finds link to cancer
BALTIMORE—In what could bolster an $800 million lawsuit against Motorola and major cell phone carriers, a new study found a possible link between older cell phones and brain tumors.
Although many studies have found no cancer risk from cell phone use, the research by Swedish oncologist Lennart Hardell published in the latest European Journal of Cancer Prevention said long-term users of analog phones are at least 30 percent more likely than nonusers to develop brain tumors.
The lawsuit against cell phone manufacturer Motorola was brought by Christopher Newman, a Maryland doctor stricken with brain cancer. He claims the analog cell phones he used from 1992 to 1998 caused him to develop a cancerous brain tumor behind his right ear.
Churches debate action by United States against Iraq
A vigorous American church debate is breaking out on Iraq policy.
The Southern Baptist Convention's chief social-issues spokesman says there is just cause to remove Saddam Hussein, but leaders in the United Methodist Church and other faiths are warning against armed conflict.
The Southern Baptist official, the Rev. Richard Land of Nashville, Tenn., said war against Iraq would be defensive because of the future "human cost of not taking Hussein out."
