Andrew to carve swath through Florida
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Hurricane Andrew saved urgently toward southern Florida yesterday, and forecasters warned it would be the most powerful storm to hit the United States in 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.
Only two known Category 5 hurricanes have hit the United States; Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Mississippi coast in 1960, killing 256 people, and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys and killed 405 people.
Forecasters expected it to reach Category 5—the worst category with
winds topping 155 mph — as it crossed the Gulf Stream to Florida.

When it gets cold outside, K.C. dance floors heat up
By Holly Anderson
Special to the Kansan
Leaves falling, temperatures dropping,
these are the signs that we need to get out
and enjoy the things that good weather
allows us to do.
If the urge to groove hits you, Kansas City has a variety of clubs and alternative venues.
"What to do?" you ask. Dance!
The Edge, in Lucas Plaza at 323 W. 8th comes to mind. Although the dance floor is a bit undersized. The Edge is conducive to dancing, with its flashy decor and powerful mix of house, dance and pop music. Cover charges are about $3; drinks are a bit expensive.
Neo at 208 W. 10th is another good dance spot. Cover prices are low, and drinks are realistically priced. The dark, low-key ambiance of Neo has a somewhat murky feeling, which attracts those who want to hang out and feel the music. Neo sometimes features live bands; otherwise it relies on DJ wizardry to please patrons. MC 900 Foot Jesus has played there with Die Kreuzan in an opening act—a strange combination that should say a lot about the club.
The Shadow, 510 Westport Rd., stakes its claim on alternative music fans. The club is ample in size and divided into two sections. The front "atrium" is roomy, and acoustics prevent assault by the blasting noise levels that dance room occupants thrive on. Subdued noise and ill-advised lighting make for a great spot to share secrets, trade information and initiate ill-advised passes at overdressed neocle.
A second room has a 4-foot pit dance floor ringed by an elevated stage. Keen lighting
effects and decibel levels that shake the heavens make for the optimum dance experience. be prepared to pay a premium for drinks. Occasional live band performances by bands like The Buzzcocks and Slowdive attract a crowd.
Bars similar to Hurricane aren't hard to find. There's Dave's Uptown at 3402 Main, small but a good choice; the loud eccentric Grand Empirium at 3832 Main draws good crowds; Harper upsights at 3941 Main, with its Irish pub feel, is popular, and Lone Star at 4117 Mill St. draws a hither than bin crowd
O. K. so maybe you're looking for big city fun but don't feel like being bombarded by tech-dance magic and bizarre lighting that obscures the environs. Well, there's Hurricane's a small, cozy bar located at 4048 Broadway, where, unlike The Shadow's dance room, you can see the person you're with. It's a great place to drink, converse and see lots of live bands. The bar area is comfortable, and its stools offer some of the best seating in the house. Booths are thoughtfully arranged so patrons can sit, drink and see the band. The band area is modest. It hosts some of the best live rock and rock in Kansas City; bands like The Wilimas, PAW, That Statue Moved and Kill Creek have graced the stage.
One last note: for those unfortunate souls who have not yet reached the magic age, your prayers have been answered. Check out Krypton, 320 Southwest Blvd., all the clubs place. Krypton is a haven of dance fever for those caught in legal-age limbo.
When you decide it's time to "shake the dust ... off of your feet," head to Kansas City and check out its plethora of night-time entertainment.
Bicycle parking difficult Union renovation relocates racks

KU students wanting to park their bikes at the Kansas Union may be wondering where the bike racks are.
"The way they have them here is like they stacked them to be out of the way," said Carla Dykeman-Berkich, Wellington graduate student.
Some students are not happy with the way the racks are situated.
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.
She said some of the racks were placed too closely together and were
essible because of a pine tree's rging branches.
