Ribbons signify memories
Campus groups honor National POW/MIA Week
By Christine Laue
Kansan staff writer
Yellow ribbons wrap around the trees lining Jayhawk Boulevard this week in recognition of prisoners of war and military personnel missing in action.
"It's a symbol for showing support for them, that people care," said Col. Jim Phillips, Air Force ROTC instructor and adviser of the campus organization that tied the ribbons around the trees.
Members of KU's chapter of Angel Flight/Silver Wings, a national service organization, tied more than 100 ribbons around the trees Sunday night as part of National POW/MIA Week. The group and the Arnold Air Society, a campus group like Angel Flight/Silver Wings but whose members are Air Force ROTC cadets, will participate in a ceremony at noon today in front of Strong Hall. After a World War II POW speaks, cadets will raise the U.S. flag and go to the Vietnam Memorial where they will begin a 24-hour candlelight vigil.

Air Force Cadet Steve Titel, president of the air society, said the organizations also would sponsor a religious service at noon Friday at Danforth Chapel.
"It's important that people realize the sacrifices that U.S. servicemen have made in the past," the Russell junior said.
Patty Evans, Bonner Springs senior and president of Angel Flight/Silver Wings, said people also can recognize POWs and MIAs by wearing bracelets that have names and other information about POWs and MIAs on them.
and remember that person," she said.
The bracelets, which come in aluminum, sterling-silver and other metals, are available through Nov. 30 for $6 to $50 at the Military Science Building. Evans said proceeds went to the National League of Families, a national organization that helped families of POWs and MIAs.
"Every day you look at your wrist
Evans said people participated in the week's activities to support POWs and MIAs and their families and to make other people aware that some people who fought in wars still were unaccounted for.
"It's just a way of making people think about the issue for a couple days out of the year," she said.
But Evans said she hoped that people would continue to search for answers to the POW and MIA situation even after group members cut down the yellow ribbons Friday.
"This is an issue that deserves some answers," she said.

Program deters crime at convenience stores
By Joe Harder
The program, called Dedicated to the Encouragement of Tips, Education and Rewards, is designed to prevent crimes against gas stations and convenience stores, said Deland Morse, head of the organization.
Douglas County will be the pilot area for a new crime prevention program, law enforcement officials said yesterday.

He said Douglas County was chosen in part because it was not a member of the Crime Stoppers program.
"Douglas County has been very cooperative," he said. "This is the first step to getting the program in the whole state," he said.
A telephone hotline has been set up in Douglas County for reporting such tips, authorities said.
Morse said the reward money would come entirely from donations. No money was raised by the program.
"This is free," he said. "We have tried to take away every possible excuse for not joining."
D. E.T.E.R. started by the Kansas Oil Markets Association and the Convenience Store Association of Kansas, is patterned after the CrimeStoppers program, which provides reward money for anonymous tips that lead to arrests. The maximum reward given to anonymous
In addition to the reward system, member stores will be educated by seminars, videos and newsletters that explain how to prevent crimes against their establishments.
Six teams of law enforcement officials and D.E.T.E.R. program officials spent most of yesterday visiting convenience stores and gas stations in the county and signing them up as program members, said Douglas County Sheriff Loren Anderson.
Scott Teeselink, special agent with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said that 25 percent of the robberies in Kansas were committed against the state's 3,000 gas stations and convenience stores.
