Another student reports masturbator to police
A fifth University of Kansas student has reported seeing an act of lewd and lascivious behavior on Sept. 29.
The student was waiting for her ride near Murphy Hall about 10:15 p.m. when she heard an unusual sound behind her, police said.
She turned to see what had made the noise and saw a man urinating behind her. He finished urinating and then began to masturbate, police said.
The woman said the man was a white male in his 30s with buzz-cut blond hair. She told police he was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 170 pounds.
Police said the man fit the description of the masturbator described by four other KU students. The masturbator had been seen that night in four places on campus. Police do not have any leads.
Campus television station to hold staff auditions
KUJH-TV, the University's year-old television station, will hold auditions for its on-air staff Oct. 13-15.
Previous tryouts on Sept. 22-25 yielded only 10 hopefuls, said Eva Nilzon, production director for the station.
The station needs students for a number of show concepts, Nilzon said. Ideas for new programming include shows on local fine arts events, sports and sex education and discussion.
"We've got some positions to fill but not enough people." Nilson said.
No experience is necessary. All students trying out will be videotaped while reading from a script. The auditions will be held from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. in room 2095 in the Dole Human Development Center. For more information, call the Dole Center at 864-0600.
KUJH, which is broadcast on Channel 14, currently is a 24-hour news channel where broadcast majors gain experience updating a half-hour news program several times a day.

Clinton's veto eliminates funds for Wichita complex
STATE
WASHINGTON — President Clinton used his line-item veto power yesterday to kill a proposed $2.9 million transportation complex at Wichita's McConnell Air Force Base.
But the base will get $17 million for other projects, including a $5 million child-care center to alleviate a waiting list of 150 children at the existing facility.
Kansas will receive about $72 million for military construction at McConnell, Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley and Iola, where the Kansas Air National Guard is based.
The transportation-building and day-care-center funds were absent from the original budget request. But they were added to Kansas' wish list as the bill made its way through Congress, along with a $2 million Air National Guard civil engineering maintenance shop and a $580,000 family housing office.
The Clinton administration eliminated such congressional add-on projects if design work was incomplete, meaning construction could not begin in the next year, and if they provided no substantial contribution to improving the lives of U.S. troops.

Clinton reveals coffees were preserved on tape
WASHINGTON — Acting on a tip, Senate investigators prodded the Clinton administration in early August to look for videotapes that may have shown President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore at Democratic Party events inside the White House.
Administration officials said they discovered Wednesday night that 44 White House coffees featuring the president had been videotaped.
Clinton said yesterday it was an accident that the videotapes were not found sooner.
"All I can tell you is, as soon as I found out about it, late last week, I said, 'Get this out and let's go on.'" he said.
The White House confirmed yesterday that an intense search was under way for an unspecified number of additional recordings of White- House political events. The opening minutes of the coffees were recorded by White House crews between Aug. 3, 1995, and Aug. 23, 1996.
The tapes of the 1996 coffees, released Sunday by the White House, show Clinton thanking his visitors without asking for money. In footage from one reception, then-Democratic National Chairman Don Fowler refused five checks offered by a guest, apologized and said the donations could be discussed later.
INTERNATIONAL Hamas leader returns, weakening Netanyahu
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The spiritual leader of Hamas returned home to a delightful welcome from 10,000 supporters yesterday as part of a prisoner swap that left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struggling to explain why he struck a deal with the sponsors of bombings against Israeli civilians.
Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the nearly blind and paraplegic founder of Hamas, was greeted by ecstatic crowds in a Gaza City arena that was draped with black, green and red Palestinian flags and banners.
"Hamas has engraved its name on the homeland," read one banner.
Yassin's return means Netanyahu will have much less leverage in demanding that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat crack down on Hamas, which opposes peace agreements with Israel and has carried out more than a dozen suicide bombings in the Jewish state since 1994.
The exchange of Yassin for two Mossad agents captured in a failed assassination attempt on a Hamas leader in Amman, Jordan, last month was worked out in more than a week of secret talks between the two nations. It put the prime minister in the awkward position of having to contradict his tough-on-terrorism credo in order to ensure the safety of the two spies.
"As prime minister, I have the highest responsibility to fight in every possible way against terror. This is a war. There are no concessions in the war against terror," Netanyahu said.
