CAMPUS
Edwards campus grows with money for new hall
The University of Kansas Edwards Campus will expand, thanks to a donation from the family foundation of a Kansas City developer.
The $3 million pledge from the Victor and Helen Regnier Charitable Foundation will go toward the construction of Regnier Hall, which will include space for 21 classrooms,a 240-seat auditorium and offices for 45 faculty members.
The addition of the building will allow the Edwards Campus to expand its programs and will nearly double the number of students who can take classes, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the KU Endowment Association.
"They've been hoping to do this for several years," Scarffe said. "It was KU First that drew enough attention to it to draw donors."
The construction of the building, which is expected to be complete by 2004, is also financed by a $5 million gift from the Hall Family Foundation and $9.8 million from bonds paid for by tuition revenue from the Edwards Campus.

Hutchinson man dies, another hurt in shooting
HUTCHINSON — A fight at a Hutchinson apartment left one man dead and one wounded. Albert Clareet Jr., 41, died from a gunshot wound after the fight Tuesday afternoon, police Detective Lt. John Tracy said. Also injured in the shooting was Donie Taylor, 45, who was in fair condition yesterday at a Hutchinson hospital.
Police Chief Dick Heitschmidt said a third person, whose name was not released, was being held as a witness to the shooting.
Augusta city council helps hospital stay open
AUGUSTA -- City officials have agreed to keep the city's financially troubled hospital open for one more month while a plan is formed to keep it open permanently.
The city council voted Tuesday night to give the hospital $50,000 to stay open for now. The council will also form a committee with hospital officials and citizens to discuss a longterm plan and potential partnership with the hospital.
The hospital declared bankruptcy in November, and has started a fundraising program to help with its $2 million debt. The hospital plans to raise about $500,000, and has raised $35,000 since Friday.
NATION Bush invites leaders for talks about Iraq
WASHINGTON — President Bush, answering demands to know his intentions toward Iraq, invited congressional leadership to a briefing and dispatched his Pentagon chief to Capitol Hill.
The president's meeting yesterday with top Democratic and Republican lawmakers comes amid increasing signals that Bush is ready to go public with a better picture of what the United States knows about Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's weapons capabilities.
West Nile virus infects organ donor recipients
ATLANTA — Donated organs from a Georgia woman killed in a car crash last month may have proved deadly when the West Nile virus in her blood apparently killed one recipient and
sickened others.
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday an organ recipient died in Atlanta on Aug. 29 after receiving the Georgia woman's tainted organ. Three other people also received organs from the woman. The CDC said two of them have the virus and have developed encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. West Nile has not been confirmed in the third person, who is recovering from a milder infection.
Administration ready to fund religious groups
WASHINGTON—Congress has yet to approve President Bush's "faith-based initiative," but the administration is preparing to rewrite federal regulations and hand out millions of dollars for social services to religious groups.
At the Department of Health and Human Services, a new pot of money is aimed at helping small churches and other religious groups break into government grants. Officials say there's no problem using tax dollars for a program in which prayer is central, a point that Congress has refused to endorse.
If tax dollars are used for secular elements of the program, the rest can have a religious base, said Robert Polito, director of the HHS Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

Afghan commander calls for a holy war
NEWS AFFILIATES
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A renegade Afghan commander with links to Iran called for a jihad, or holy war, against U.S. forces in Afghanistan and said international peacekeepers were failing to provide security in the country.
The Pashtu-language message was received by The Associated Press on Tuesday. It was Hekmatyar's second public call for a holy war against U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
International peacekeepers say Khematyar is a suspect in a spate of bombings in the Afghan capital and speculate that he may also have formed an alliance with remaining al-Qaida and Taliban leaders.
