Correction
An article in Friday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Insufficient donations slow project" left out two words. The sentence should have read "It's not because the donor or Seuferling don't have the best intentions."
CAMARILLO, Calif. — Retail gasoline prices increased a fraction of a penny in the past three weeks, stabilizing after a steep climb of 21 cents a gallon since early June, an analyst said yesterday.

taken Aug. 22.
Analyst Triby Lundberg said the end of the summer driving season and a general reduction in the cost of crude oil helped prices stabilize.
That's an increase of about 0.29 of a cent since the last Lundberg Survey was taken Aug. 22.
Gasoline prices see plateau after summer increases
"I expect gasoline prices to go down from here," Lundberg said.
The average price for a gallon of selfserve gasoline nationwide, including all grades and taxes, was $1.75 on Friday, according to the Lundberg Survey of 8,000 stations.
Price cuts already were occurring in some parts of the country, including much of the West Coast and parts of the Midwest and Gulf Coast, Lundberg said.
The earlier increase was the largest retail price hike on record since the Lundberg Survey began keeping records 50 years ago. Two-thirds of it came between Aug. 8 and Aug. 22.
During August, East Coast and Midwest electricity blackouts shut down several refineries, and a West Coast pipeline rupture halted gasoline deliveries to Phoenix and soaked up already tight regional supplies.
As of Friday, self-serve regular gasoline showed an average weighted price of $1.72 a gallon, with midgrade at $1.82 and premium at $1.91.
Tennis stars' sister killed; three suspects in case
COMPTON, Calif. — An older sister of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams was shot to death yesterday, and sheriff's deputies surrounded a house where three suspects were barricaded, authorities said.
Yetunde Price, 31, of Corona, was gunned down shortly after midnight in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton following a confrontation with some residents, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Butler said.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
At about 6 a.m., about 40 deputies surrounded a home where three people believed involved in the confrontation were barricaded, Deputy Richard Pena said. No arrests were immediately made.
Price was one of five Williams sisters who spent their early years in Compton. The family later moved to Florida.
Price was identified as a registered nurse and a business management major in Venus Williams' personal information listed in the 2003 media guide for the WTA Tour.

What is the oldest building on campus?
Question of the day
What is the oldest building on campus? The oldest structure on campus is the old KU power plant located next to the Dole Human Development Center near the corner of Sunnyside and Sunflower roads. The building was built in 1887 and has been used as a warehouse since the 1920s. The building is being saved from demolition by the new Hall Center of the Humanities, which is being constructed on the same site and will incorporate the look of the old building. Think of it as recycling a building.

Lawrence firefighters examined a charred car at Sixth and Florida streets early Friday morning. Jason Simon said he had heard loud noises while inside his apartment at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday night and saw artillery shell fireworks being set off behind the Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St. Vandals reportedly stole fireworks from a nearby pickup truck and began setting them off in the street. Simon called 911, and Lawrence police and firefighters arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire. The suspects fled before police arrived. No arrests were made.
