Andrew to carve swath through Florida
MIAMI — Hurricane Andrew surged relentlessly toward southern Florida yesterday, and forecasters warned it would be the most powerful storm to hit the United States in decades. More than 1 million residents were told to flee.

The hurricane ripped into the Bahamas yesterday with 120 mph winds, heavy rain and surging tide. The outlying eastern islands of Abaco and Eleuthera were hit first. There were four reported deaths.
At 1 a.m. the center of the hurricane was about 60 miles east of Miami.

"It's on a dead course for South Florida. I hoped I would never experience this," said Bob Sheets, director of the National Hurricane Center in suburban Coral Gables. "We've not seen anything like this in the past few decades."
Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles issued a state of emergency and activated National Guard forces as Andrew grew to a Category 4 storm, the same as Hurricane Hugo in 1989, with winds of 150 mph.
Forecasters expected it to reach Category 5—the worst category with
winds topping 155 mph — as it crossed the Gulf Stream to Texas.
Only two known Category 5 hurricanes have hit the United States: Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Mississippi coast in 1969, killing 256 people, and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys and killed 405 people.
The governor's emergency declaration allowed the mandatory evacuation of more than 1 million people and put the National Guard and other emergency state agencies on alert.

K.C. barbecue: It just doesn't get any better
The best in the world is only an hour away
By Brad Peebler
Special to the Kansan
Whether driven by downing too much dorm food, fed up with fast food, or burned out on your own cooking, sooner or later, a change of menu is called for. One of the best Kansas City respites from bland diets is its famous barbecue.
The University of Kansas is a 50-minute drive from the "Barbecue Capital of the World." Nearly 70 years ago, four Kansas City chefs won the title at the World Barbecue Championships in Ireland, and Kansas City has been considered the barbecue capital ever since.
This rich tradition inspired many area chefs to start their own businesses. Consequently, the city is home to a multitude of barbecue restaurants ranging from the expensive and famous to the cheap and obscure. With all the choices, anyone should be able to find a place to suit his palate as well as his wallet.
When people think of KC barbecue one of the first names that comes to mind is Overland Park's KC Masterpiece. Another Kansas City staple is Gates & Son's Bar-B-Q. While both are part of the city's great barbecue trainees, several smaller operations deserve a visit, too.
According to a consensus vote by the KU Football offensive line, the best barbecue is found just outside Kansas City at Guy and Mae's Tavern in Williamsburg, Kansas. Prices are relatively inexpensive and the food is wonderful. For ten dollars Guy and Mae have brought many a lineman to submission with a full slab of ribs. Beer is 90 cents for a draw and a dollar fifty for bottles and cans. Although it's a little out of the way, the price is right, the food is great and Guy and Mae's makes for a nice short weekend road trip. Head south on 23rd through Ottawa, then hop on Interstate 35 and go south to the Williamsburg exit. Once you're in Williamsburg, you can't miss Guy and Mae's - it's about the only thing there!
One of the best values is Zarda Barbecue.
Where to go
■ Guy and Mae's Tavern: 119 Williams Street, Williamsburg
Zarda BB:874 and Quiva, Lenex
Higway's BB:1105.1 Antoch 66210
Higway's BB:1051.1 Antoch 66210
■ KC Masterpiece: 10985 Metcalf, Overland Park
Zarda is becoming increasingly popular in the area, across the country and even worldwide. In fact, demand sparked the start of an airmaln program. Dine-in prices range from a paltry $2.95 to $7.00 and beer is only $1.50. Most people go for the sliced beef or the barbecued ribs.
Another great value is Hayward's Barbecue. Hayward claims better tasting meat because of longer cooking time. In fact, meats smoke all night long. By the time ribs hit the plate they flake off the bone and melt in your mouth. Meals at Hayward's start at just under five dollars and top out around sixteen. Beers are two dollars. Lunch and family specials offer extra savings, so keep Hayward's in mind for parents weekend (then you can go for the sixteen dollar plate!). The variety plate, which includes generous portions of sausage, ribs, beef or pork tips and choice of side dish, is a popular selection.
For the true barbecue fan who cares more about the food than decor, Arthur Bryant's is the way to go. Bryant's is a counter-service restaurant. The food is spectacular and portions are large. Dinner prices range from six dollars up to fifteen, but the quality is reflected in the cost.
Rosedale's barbecue is another counter-service restaurant where tradition rules. Rosedale's food is classic. Offerings center on family-style servings of tender pork, chicken and beef. Prices are appealingly inexpensive.
Anyone who likes barbecue should love Kansas City dining. Its world-famous barbecue joints are a tradition worth visiting.

Boomeram is a nifty '50s and 60s style furniture store. The vinyl couches and Sputinkage lamps are straight out of the Brady Bunch or the Jetsons. Some of this stuff could make an ordinary student apartment into a really "groovy" place. The retro-style furniture is a collector's dream.
So when you want to get off the beaten path to explore Kansas City, be sure to see the sights and sounds of 39th Street.
Bicycle parking difficult Union renovation relocates racks
By Christine Laud Kansan staff writer
KU students wanting to park their bikes at the Kansas Union may be wondering where the bike racks are.
Renovation of the building temporarily has removed one set of racks and relocated the other to the north side lawn of the Union, just off Jayhawk Boulevard.
Some students are not happy with the way the racks are situated.
"The way they have them here is like they stacked them to be out of the way," said Carla Dykeman-Berkich, Vellington graduate student.
She said some of the racks were placed too closely together and were accessible because of a pine tree's
anging branches.
