Campus KU Bookstore to return books not picked up to publisher
Students who have delayed buying their textbooks for classes should buy them now.
Next Monday, the KU Bookstore at the kansas Union will be sending unused, unsold texts back to the publishers.
"If we hold onto them, they become ours, and we take a loss," said Steve Rhodes, acting director for the KU Bookstores. "We have to do it to stay in business."
The bookstore will keep used books in stock, Rhodes said.

Wind Ensemble concert to showcase classical music
The KU Wind Ensemble will begin its concert season with a program entitled Songs and Dances. The performance will begin at 7:30 tomorrow in the Lied Center.
Before the show, concertgoers may attend wine and cheese tasting from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the second floor of the Lied Center. A $6 donation is requested that will go toward the KU bands. This pre-concert event is a creative way to develop a stronger audience base, said John Lynch, director of
bands
The theme of the concert focuses on popular music's influence on classical composers. The ensemble will perform standards of the wind band repertory and newer works during the evening.
"We're going to show you the gamut of what we're doing stylistically," Lynch said.
Welcher, a professor of composition at the University of Texas in Austin, said his two-movement piece was commissioned by the Big 12 Band Directors' Association by the request of Cody Birdwell, director of bands at Texas Tech University. He used a variety of Irish and Celtic melodies for this work.
Centers for Education Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.

Missouri concealed gun law under judge's consideration
ST.LOUIS—A St.Louis judge hopes to make a decision today about whether Missouri's new concealed guns law violates the state constitution.
The lawsuit seeking to block the concealed laws law from taking effect tomorrow was filed Wednesday. It claims the law is unconstitutional because it violates a 128-year-old clause in the Missouri Constitution, imposes a new requirement on counties without providing funding and contains vague language.
The law allows Missourians 23 and older who pay $100 and pass background checks and a training course to receive a permit from their county sheriff to carry concealed guns. It also allows anyone 21 or older to conceal a gun in a vehicle without need of a permit.

Newton museum recovers artifact missing for nine years
NORTH NEWTON—A museum that specializes in cultural and natural history has recovered an American Indian artifact stolen more than nine years ago thanks to a local collector who saw it on eBay's online auction site.
Keven Hiebert contacted North Newton police after noticing on Sept. 11 that the dance club was being offered for sale on eBay, with a starting bid of $4,000.
Authorities said eBay worked with North Newton Police Chief Ray Classen to track down the dealer who was selling the club. The dealer, who authorities say did not know the club was stolen, turned it over to New York City police, who gave it to the museum on Monday.
