Student hurt when car hits bookstore bus
William Muggy was taking about eight or nine residents of Naismith Hall to a night spot in the country when the double decker bus he was driving was hit Friday night.
Muggy is manager of the Jayhawk Bookstore. The bus, owned by the bookstore, was traveling south on Tennessee Street and was about to turn left onto 16th Street when an Oldmobile Cullass car hit and broke up bus in the right side according to Lawrence police.
Passengers on the bus escaped unhurt, but the driver of the Culass, Christopher Yeager, Arkansas City sophomore, suffered a cut on his hand, police said. Yeager was cited for illegal lane change.
Parts of the front fender of the bus were torn off in the collision, Muggy said.
Music teachers get composing awards
Four KU professors have been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and others for their composing work.
Charles Hoag, professor of music theory and an ASCAP award recipient, said the awards were given to composers who wrote music — such as concert band or chamber music — that usually didn't earn them much in royalties.
Recipients were Hoag, James Barnes, associate professor of music theory and assistant director of bands; Robert Foster, director of bands; and John Podroz, professor of music theory.
KU grad student awarded fellowship
Wendell Mohling, a KU graduate student, is the first Kansas recipient of a $25,313 national Christa McAuliffe Fellowship.
The fellowships, named after the late Challenger astronaut and school teacher Christa McAuliffe, are awarded to one teacher in each state. They can be used to pursue a second degree, do research, develop programs for teachers or any combination of those projects.
Mohling is taking a year's leave from Shawne Mission Northwest High School in Shawne, where he has taught science for 15 years, to work on a doctorate in curriculum and instruction in science education.
Film expert to talk about U.S. movies
Richard Dyer MacCann, professor emeritus of motion picture history at the University of Iowa, will give the first Julie Stough Memorial Lecture at 8 p.m. today in Woodruff Auditorium in the Cranberry Room. The lecture is "American Movies: We've Been Framed."
MacCann was a professor of film from 1960 to 1970 at the University of Kansas before he moved to the University of Iowa. He received his doctorate in government from Harvard University and has written many books about movies.
Julie Stough was a KU alumna and Lawrence resident who was an expert on children's literature and was active in KU theater, about which she wrote a history in 1976.
Larger Course Source to cost Senate more
By BRAD ADDINGTON Staff writer
From staff and wire reports.
Staff writer
The Jayhawk Course Source this semester will be more than twice as big as it was last semester, and the cost of printing the Course Source will be nearly twice as much as the Student Senate expected.
Kevin Fossland, director of the Senate Course Source Board, estimated that it would cost between $1,100 and $6,100 to print this semester's Course Source. But last spring, the Senate allocated only $3,531 for the cost of printing both this and next semesters' Course Sources.
Fossland said that the printing of this semester's Course Source would be financed by the Senate allocation and more than $700 from advertisements in the Course Source. Fossland wrote that he expected exact figure of advertising revenue.
He said that he was not sure how he would finance the printing of the Course Source next semester.
"It all depends on how successful it is, but I'd rather not have to rely on Senate." Fossland said.
'A student will have a little better idea of what to expect.'
- Kevin Fossland director, Senate Course Source Board
"Now we'll have something that we can show people. I don't think I'll have any problems getting ads," he said.
Fossland said that he would like the Course Source eventually to be financed entirely by advertising. The Senate allocated $7,940 for this year's Course Sources. This money covers advertising, duplicating and printing costs in addition to Fossland's $150-a-month salary.
The Course Source, which was first published last fall by the Student Senate, provides information about KU courses that cannot be found in the timetable or the KU Catalog, organizers said.
"A student will have a little better idea of what to expect," Fossland said.
Fossland said that 5,000 copies of the Course Source should be available Oct. 27 and 28 at the Kansas Wescoe, Wescoe and Fraser halls.
"It's not going to be coming out at the tail end of when everybody is enroling." Fossland said. "I think students will have a chance to use it."
This semester's Course Source contains 136 pages and more than 150 course entries, Fossland said. He compared this with last semester's Course Source, which had 32 pages and 37 course entries.
Because of the increase in size, the
Course Source will be bound for the first time instead of stalled.
Other new features of the Course Source are photographs of the KU campus, Macintosh computer graphics and more advertisements.
Other members of the Course Source board are Laura Ambrer, assistant director; Brad Wasinger, publication coordinator; Stephanie Quincy, student body vice president; Logan Templeton, school committee chairman; and Missy Kleinholz, last year's Course Source director.
"There were no guidelines, good or bad, to fall back on," she said. "I think (Fossland) has been able to take the Course Source the step further that it had to be taken this year."
Kleinholz said that the Course Source was in an experimental stage last
Three different questionnaires were used to gather information for
the source this fall. One pertained to such things as grading scales and testing. Another dealt with the instructor's view of the course and his advice on how to prepare for it. A second member consulted other two Department heads or faculty members could choose which questionnaire they wanted to use.
But some faculty members were not happy with Fossell's use of three questionnaires, saying that all questions were too broad for same questionnaire for consistency.
Fossland said, "I figured if I had three questionnaires and let the faculty choose one, they'd be more likely to participate."
Fossland said that he received an extraordinary amount of cooperation from the sociology department, which submitted information on 34 courses. The psychology, biology and political science departments also were very helpful, Fossland said.
Weekend lodging is scarce
BY JORN E. KAALSTAD
Staff writer
Lawrence hotels are fully booked,
and visitors who have traveled a long
way without a reservation must find
rooms in Kansas City or Topeka if
they want to participate in the home-
coming events Friday and Saturday.
A quick telephone survey yesterday confirmed that vacant hotel rooms in Lawrence are rare on game day and this weekend in particular.
Paul Boutte, desk clerk at Westminster Inn, 2525 W. Sixth St., said the hotel had been booked for the homecoming weekend since August. All the weekends with games this fall are also fully booked. Boutte said.
Out of a total of 59 rooms, the Econo Lodge of Lawrence, 2007 W. Sixth St., has one room left for this weekend, said Carol Boyer, desk clerk. But she expects the vacant room to be taken fast. Boyer attributed the bookings to homecoming weekend.
The Eldridge Hotel, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, and Holiday Inn Holdome. 2001 Turpuree book to be reported for full-order bookings for homecoming.
Wheaton said homecoming was the third busiest weekend of the year. Graduation and Parent's Day weekends are busier he said.
Dave Wheaton, desk manager at the Holdeme, which has 190 rooms, said rooms for this weekend had been booked since last week.
"We've turned away about a hundred students over the last week who tried to make reservations for their parents." Wheaton said.
The best bet for visitors is to find accommodations outside Lawrence.
In addition to the traditional parade, this year's homecoming will feature an Oktoberfest picnic, a jazz concert, an engineering exposition and a dance featuring the KU Alumni Band.
Visitors have a lot to look forward to at homecoming, even if they have had not been here for weeks.
The reservation offices of Ramada Inns of Topeka and Best Western Hotels in the Kansas area are located at 1450 North Hadid avant rooms for homecoming weekend.

Students discover cave exploration
SUA-sponsored spelunking sojourn schools sightseeing students
By ELAINE SUNG
WAYNESVILLE, Mo. — For 32 college students, last weekend was a chance to be a kid again.
Students from the University of Kansas and their friends went on a cave-exploring trip sponsored by Student Union Activities.
The students explored Berry Cave, in Waynesville, Mo., and Saltpeter Cave, in Rolla, Mo. Because the caves are on private property, student organizer Phil Stump, Hays senior, had to have the permission of the owners before the students could enter the caves.
BY ELAINE SUNG Special to the Kansan
The group camped for the weekend at Lake of the Ozarks State Park and Cedar Creek.
Stump went on a similar trip that SUA sponsored last year and said he enjoyed organizing this year's trip. "I feel like I'm a kid again, exploring and going where people haven't gone before," he said. "It's a whole different world down there."

Further down in the passages, the students slipped and slid in the mud. Many ended up knee-deep in mud, and some were soaked in sweat from climbing between passages.

Tour guides pointed out messages scribbled in pencil on the cave walls. Although it used to be a common writing on walls no longer is allowed.
"We're conservation-minded," Atteberry said. "What's there is history, so you can't erase it and feel good about it. But no matter how tempting it may seem, you're killing something and defacing it by writing on it."
Angela Briney, Goodland freshman, said the entrance of the cave looked small, and she did not expect it. She also saw bats for the first time.
Steve Atteberry, one of the guides at the cave, said it was difficult to get lost in the caves because most of them followed a basic pattern.
Part-time tour guides helped the students along the passages during the visit. The guides, from the Lake of the Ozarks Grotto, advised the students to carry at least three sources of light and a hard hat for safety
"I thought I'd be crawling around," he said. "It got pretty muddy down there, though, and we started having mud fights."
"The bats are scary," she said. "they flew all over us, so we got close."
Caves, usually in limestone, are formed when water filters through cracks in the surface rock. Carbon dioxide mixes with the water and dissolves the limestone, creating passages and tunnels.
"People who haven't done it before think they'll get lost, but you have to
look at what's in front of you and what's behind you. Attebre said
KNOW ABOUT ISLAM
With approximately five million Muslims in North America, and since, according to many scholars, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today, we thought you might want to know something about that faith.
Islam is not an emotive faith isolated from the human factual life in all its spheres. Neither is it a collection of religious rites practiced by "the faithful" individually or collectively.
Islam is a way of life - of a realistic human life in all its aspects. This is a system that encompasses the ideological conceptualization which explicates the very nature of existence, delineates Man's place in the universe as well as the final objective of his human life.
The word Islam means “surrender,” “yielding,” “submission” to one God. Unlike many other faiths, it does not derive its name from a person, a place, or a tribe, but rather from the very essence of its own nature. This is not to deny Man’s free agency, but rather to realize God's omnipotence and recognize His unquestionable and absolute authority.
Islam expounds and is concerned with the ethical foundations of our lives as much as it is with our social, economic, and political well being. As such, the Islamic way of life is not a transient system which fits into a specific historical epoch, nor is it a local system set up for merely a certain generation or a particular environment. It is in fact, a basic system, inherently universal, whose objective is the dynamic human life which must be exalted in the manner worth of both Man and his Creator.
