CORRECTIONS
The Aug. 23 story "Faculty shortage hurts atmospheric science," stated the atmospheric science program at the University could lose accreditation from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) because the program lost one full-time professor. This statement is incorrect.
The AMS recommends a program has no fewer than three full-time professors, but does not require this. The AMS also does not certify or accredit any institution. They do provide a set list of requirements that must be met by any undergraduate who wants to be federally employed. The atmospheric science program at the University of Kansas meets all of these requirements.
A correction in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated the number of years a graduate teaching assistant worked for the University did not impact the minimum salary provision in the proposed three-year contract. In fact, it does.

Graves: Democrats 'whining and complaining' on budget
TOPEKA — Republican Gov. Bill Graves says Democratic legislators are "whining and complaining" when they accuse him of not being aggressive enough in cutting the state budget. Two Democratic legislators respond by accusing Graves of ducking his responsibilities as chief executive.
Graves said Tuesday that Democrats weren't helpful during the past legislative session in trying to find new tax dollars for programs or places to cut spending.
Earlier this month, Graves ordered $41 million in cuts to the state's $4.4 billion budget for the current fiscal year. Those cuts would leave the 2003 budget about 1.1 percent smaller than the 2002 budget.
USDA declares 28 counties disaster areas from flooding
TOPEKA — Twenty-eight counties have been declared federal disaster areas following spring flooding, the governor's office said Tuesday.
The declaration from U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman grants Gov. Bill Graves' request for coverage of storm damage that occurred between May 7 and May 26. Farmers in the affected counties will be eligible for low-interest loans from the Farm Service Agency.
NATION Fraternity suspended from Baylor University
WACO, Texas — A fraternity has been suspended from Baylor University for a year after a picture of some members, fully clothed, appeared in Playboy magazine.
About 50 men and four women, all students at the time, posed on a sand volleyball court. A student who has since graduated posed nude for another photo and used an alias. The pictures are in the October issue featuring the Big 12 conference.
Officials at Baptist-affiliated Baylor called it a salacious publication and said it runs contrary to the school's ideals. In the past, Baylor administrators have threatened to expel any student who poses for the magazine.
Larry Brumley, a university spokesman, said discipline for the students appearing in the October issue could vary. He declined to elaborate, citing federal student privacy laws.
Six indicted as government focuses on terror groups
WASHINGTON — Federal grand juries charged six men with conspiring to support Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network yesterday as the government escalated its efforts to stifle the flow of money and assistance from U.S. soil to overseas terrorist groups.
In Seattle, American citizen and Muslim activist James Ujaama was accused in a two-count indictment of trying to set up a "jihad (holy war) training camp" on the West Coast and providing support and resources to alQaida.
The indictment accused him of leading discussions about creating poison to use on the public and firebombing vehicles. Ujaama has repeatedly denied any ties to terrorism.
Judge demands FBI defend its investigation in trial
ON THE RECORD
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The FBI might have missed e-mails sent by Sept. 11 conspiracy defendant Zacarias Moussaoui when it examined computers he used weeks before the terror attacks, according to the trial judge, who is demanding detailed explanations from government investigators.
Moussaoui, charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism and murder federal employees, said he was known on the Internet as "xdesertman" and used an account on Microsoft Corp.'s free Hotmail service, court documents showed yesterday.
Legal experts said it was unclear whether Moussaoui sought the information to defend himself — by establishing an alibi, for example — or to determine whether the government might already have recovered incriminating messages from the account.
