'Kansan' columnist injured in accident
A KU student was injured in a one-car accident Friday night.
Andy Obermueler, Liberal, Kan. senior and "Kansan" columnist, was injured in a one-vehicle accident late Friday. He was three miles south of Kasol Drive at East 1200 Road and County Road 458 when his red 1993 Dodge Spirit went left of center and rolled over, according to Douglas County sheriff's reports.
The accident occurred at 11:28 p.m. Friday, and Obermueller was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical personnel. Medical personnel had to extricate Obermueller from his car.
Obermueller then was transferred to St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. He was listed in stable condition last night with a broken neck. He is not paralyzed and has feeling in his body.
Obermueller will be an editorial page co-editor for the "Kansan" next semester.
Strong odors prevent Malott Hall classes
After all, it is a chemistry building.
Students, faculty and staff were evacuated from Malott Hall Friday when a sulfuric-smelling odor began emanating from the fifth and sixth floors around 3:30 p.m.
"You smelled it one second, and then within two minutes you couldn't breathe," said Paul Hanson, assistant chemistry professor.
The Lawrence police and fire departments responded when someone pulled a fire alarm. The KU police department, the KU Health and Safety department and the Douglas County Hazardous Materials unit also arrived.
"Several months ago the same thing happened," said Susan McAfee, director of laboratories for chemistry. "It's twice as bad this time as it was the last time, though."
Classes in Malott Hall were canceled for the rest of the day as safety officials attempted to increase the air circulation throughout the building and determine the source of the smell.
"It's hard to say exactly what it is. They never found out what it was last time," McAfee said. "It could be anything — vandalism or something that got out from under one of the hoods. Who knows?"

Septuplets' conditions continue to improve
CARLISEL, Iowa — Septuplet mom Bobbi McCaughey left the hospital and returned home yesterday while her seven
Even the first of the seven to be born — Joel Steven — who had been listed in critical condition shortly after Wednesday's birth and was dubbed the underdog by doctors, was taken off a ventilator yesterday and upgraded to fair condition.
babies stayed behind in intensive care and continued to impress doctors with their resilience.
"Last week we had very high expectations for these babies, and to this point, they have fulfilled all of those expectations remarkably well," said Robert Shaw, director of the Iowa Methodist Medical Center, yesterday on CBS "Face the Nation."
Hospitalized for more than a month, McCaughey, 29, walked into her home slowly without anyone's help.
The McCaugheys made worldwide news when their septuplets were born nine weeks prematurely by Caesarean section. Doctors have said the babies will be hospitalized into January.
Baby Kenneth has been breathing on his own since Friday. The other five — two boys and three girls — remain in serious condition.
Greyhound driver friendly to people, not canines
TAMPA, Fla. — The bus was a Grey-hound, but the driver was no dog-lover.
An 80-year-old woman returning home from her birthday party was kicked off a bus at a rural truck stop late at night because of her birthday present: a tiny puppy named Cookie.
Dogs aren't allowed on Greyhound buses, and the driver refused to make an exception, leaving Antonia Sanabria at the side of the road about 80 miles from home in Tampa at 3 a.m. Friday.
A security guard summoned by the bus driver called Marion County Sheriff's deputies, adding to her fright.
"When the bus pulled away and I saw all those policemen, I was scared," Sanabria said. "I thought they were going to put me in jail. I don't know, I was crazy with fear. I've never gone to jail."
What quickly could have become a terrifying ordeal for the woman, who walks with a crutch and has trouble hearing and seeing, instead became an inspiration.
After getting her a sandwich and something to drink, police from different jurisdictions teamed up and ferried Sanabria all the way from the Ocala area to her Tampa doorstep in five different patrol cars.
As soon as she got home, all Sanabria wanted to do was sleep, which she did with her new 7-week-old Pekinese pup.
"I've never seen so many people so nice with me — an old lady. They gave me love, respect, attention," she said. "Love has a lot of names — compassion, respect, friendliness."
Greyhound apologized and gave her a refund on Saturday. The unidentified driver, a 20-year Greyhound veteran, was suspended pending an investigation.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.N. experts searched in and around Baghdad yesterday for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons while helicopter crews watched overhead for any suspicious activity on the ground.

U.N. inspectors get back to work in Iraq
For the roughly 75 weapons monitors, including four Americans, it was the second day back at work after a 24-day U.N. standoff with Saddam Hussein. Inspection team chief Nils Carlstrom refused to say what the inspectors were finding and said only that the Iraqis were cooperating.
Despite the cooperation, Iraqi U.N. Ambassador Nizar Hamdoon told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Iraq will persist in barring the inspectors from Saddam's palaces, citing national security concerns.
"The only sites that we will restrict to them are the sites that are directly related to the president, and we think that those sites should not be visited," Hamdoon said.
Three carloads of nuclear experts were among those at work. The nuclear team leader, who refused to identify himself, told reporters he hoped to enter sensitive sites but would not elaborate.
The U.N. experts were expected to search first for signs that Iraqis had worked on banned weapons programs during the three-week standoff, which ended Thursday when Iraq rescinded an order expelling Americans on the U.N. teams.
