Concert at Abe & Jake's to benefit Ballard Center
The School of Social Work will hold its second-annual fall fundraiser, a benefit concert at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., from 6:30 to 10 tonight
The all-ages concert will feature the Acme Jazz Company and Raising Grey. Admission is $3, and concertgoers are encouraged to bring canned goods.
Merrill Evans, co-president of KU Bachelors of Social Work student group, said last year's event was a success, raising more than $300, and that the group had higher goals for tonight's event.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Ballard Community Center, an outreach program that operates a holiday food pantry for underprivileged families, among other activities.
"We've raised the stakes this year," Evans said. "It's important to do this now, so they have the donations for Thanksgiving and Christmas."

Science teacher suspended after causing students to vomit
SMITHFIELD, N.C. — A high school teacher was suspended for a classroom experiment that caused several students to vomit after drinking large amounts of milk.
Jeff Ferguson, a chemistry and physics teacher at Smithfield-Selma High School, organized the experiment last week to test the body's ability to neutralize acids in milk.
It was intended to show the body can handle only so much before a natural reaction occurs and the person vomits. Out of 42 students in two classes, at least five did just that.
Yesterday, Ferguson failed to persuade a judge to let him return to the classroom. He wanted a temporary restraining order so that he could return to help his students prepare for end-of-semester exams, but Superior Court Judge Knox Jenkins denied his request
It's been rather unpleasant sitting at home and knowing nobody is teaching my class as effectively as I can," Ferguson said after the hearing. "There's not a lot positive about this situation."
The teacher's attorney, Lamar Armstrong, said students were not required to participate in the experiment, and students had receptacles in case they became ill.
"If anybody wanted to quit at any time, they could have." Armstrong said.
Parents alerted school administrators about the incident on Nov. 12. Ferguson was sent home the next day and was suspended with pay Tuesday, pending an investigation by a law firm hired by the school district.
