Bus driver hit by pellet outside McCollum Hall
A KU bus driver was hit by a sniper Monday afternoon as he left McCollum Hall.
Charles Murtagh, who works for KU on Wheels, was walking out of McColllum when a pellet or BB struck him in the neck, KU police said. The BB did not cause an injury.
Murtagh told police that the shot seemed to come from the direction of McCollum. The object hit him as he was walking toward his bus, which was parked in front of the building, police said.
The object apparently had been shot from a McCollum window but had lost enough velocity to harmlessly bounce off Murtaugh's neck, police said.
Kansan staff report
President faces struggle negotiating trade treaty
WASHINGTON — Facing skepticism among Democrats, President Clinton asked Congress yesterday for expanded
trade-negotiation authority that he said was critical for world leadership. Key Republicans reserved judgment until seeing details.
"The global economy is on a very fast track to the 21st century. The question is whether we are going to lead the way or follow," the president said as he embarked on a campaign similar
to the 1993 struggle over NAFTA
Clinton is seeking restoration of authority that he and other presidents have had over nearly 25 years to negotiate international trade pacts subject to a speedy yester-no vote in Congress without amendments — a process known as "fast-track."
Many Democrats, including Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, will oppose the legislation unless it contains worker and environmental protections. The protections are designed to prevent high-paying American jobs from disappearing beyond America's borders to nations where workers are paid little and environmental protections are lax.
In a clear sign that the administration was stumbling from the outset, submission of formal legislation to lawmakers was delayed until next week at the earliest.
Many Republicans say they are sympathetic to "fast-track" legislation but won't support the type of specific provisions that Democrats favor.
White House officials insisted a framework for a compromise was forming
U. S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky said the "fast-track" proposal could cover only labor and environmental issues specifically related to
trade. She said under the proposal, the administration could still pursue side agreements on these issues that could either be implemented by executive order or subject to amendment by Congress.
California tries to shoot cheap guns off market
LOS ANGELES — The crackdown on cheap handguns after Robert Kennedy's assassination in 1968 has had the paradoxical effect of making Southern California
the capital of America's Saturday night special industry.
Nearly 30 years after the United States banned imports of cheap and easy-to-coual handguns, five Los Angeles-area manufacturers produce 80 percent of the Saturday night specials sold in the United States.
Now, after years of heavy lobbying by gun-control foes, that may change.
The California Legislature has voted to ban the manufacture or sale of such guns.
Under the bill, which passed Tuesday and still must be signed by an undecided Gov. Pete Wilson, handguns must be at least 6 inches long and 4 inches tall.
Gunmakers contend that larger, more powerful guns that would be legal under the law are more lethal and thus more of a danger to the public. And the National Rifle Association has gone so far as to suggest that outlawing these guns would discriminate against poor people who cannot afford more expensive weapons for self-defense.
Further test confirms Di's driver was intoxicated
PARIS — Princess Diana's driver ingested a dangerous cocktail of alcohol and prescription drugs, prosecutors said yesterday, a combination doctors say can
cause drowsiness, trouble concentrating and impaired vision.
A third blood test to determine the alcohol level of driver Henri Paul detected fluoxetine — the antidepressant best known as Prozac — and tiapride, used to prevent aggression and treat alcoholism.
Side effects of Prozac can include shaking, anxiety and impaired
Diana: Driver confirmed drunk, dragged
vision. Both medications can cause drowsiness when combined with alcohol.
"Prudence in the use of these medications is normally recommended to drivers," the prosecutors' statement said.
A report by the first policeman at the
scene of the crash that killed Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and their driver Aug. 31 provided new details yesterday about first aid efforts and the behavior of photographers who had been chasing her.
The policeman, who was on patrol nearby, said right after calling for help a witness alerted him that Diana was in the car. Rescuers tried to keep Diana conscious by talking to her and tapping her on the cheek and asked the officer to keep her head as straight as possible, the officer wrote in his report, which was seen by The Associated Press.
The photographers were "virulent, pushing, while continuing to take photos, deliberately preventing help from being given to the victim," the report said.
The prosecutor's statement said the Paul's fluoxetine was at a therapeutic level — the dosage a doctor might prescribe — but did not specify the quantity. The tiapride was at a level considered less than therapeutic — closer to over-the-counter strength.
The blood test confirmed two earlier tests that showed Paul's blood-alcohol level at 1.75 grams per liter of blood — more than three times the legal limit. Such a level is the equivalent of nine quick shots of whiskey. In the United States it would translate as a blood alcohol level of 175.
"Le Parisien" on yesterday quoted an unidentified doctor as saying Diana murmured "Leave me alone, leave me alone," while in the mangled Mercedes, seconds before an oxygen mask was placed over her face. The tableid said photographers were taking pictures inches from her face when she spoke what it called her last words.

Unions look for alternative space

accounted for and then delivered to one of the three locations.
As of now, the bookstores have not found another place to store the merchandise.
"The time frame is so short it makes it difficult to find a suitable location." Reid said. "We're looking at a few different options."
Oroke said he was working with Design and Construction Management to help find new storage locations for the departments that will be affected by the loss of space.
Oroke said that along with the bookstores, Facilities Operations, Housekeeping and several other departments used storage space at the stadium. With the new renovations there will no longer be room for any department that is not directly associated with the athletic department, he said.
"We don't have any answers at hand at this time as to who's going where," he said. "It matters what's available."
Reid said the bookstores would lose space if they decided to look for storage
Squeezed out
The Kansas Union Bookstores will have to give up 5,600 square feet of storage space in Memorial Stadium by Nov. 1.
About $8 million of merchandise passes through the storage space each year.
Bookstores were notified of their loss of space on Aug. 21.
The bookstores built the storage space for 30,000 books.
Facilities operations, housekeeping and several other departments also will also storage space.
Renovations to Memorial Stadium will begin after the 1997 football season.
on campus. The largest on-campus space they have found so far is 4,200 square feet.
Pat Warren, assistant athletic director, said the former storage space might be used for food preparation for stadium concessions, but that nothing was set in stone.
"Everybody we have worked with in this process has been very cooperative," he said.
Master plan to guide campus changes
Continued from page 1A
Joseph R. Pearson Hall is scheduled for renovation as part of the Crumbling Classrooms program. Once construction is complete, the School of Education will move from Bailey Hall to the new facility.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will then move some departments into Bailey Hall and reorganize its space in Wescoe Hall.
Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said her office would form a task force next month to work on a renovation plan for Wescoe Hall.
Frost-Mason said she expected to see the lower three levels of Wescoe gutted and redone to improve usage of the interior space.
She also said she envisioned an expanded technology center on the fourth floor of Wescoe for use by
humanities departments.
At the convocation, Provost David Shulenburger spoke about the rising costs of library periodicals and volumes and the additional space needed to store periodicals.
Waechter said the 1973 plan suggested developing underground library storage in the space between Frasier and Wescoe.
But a library repository built on West Campus might help solve storage problems, Waechter said.
Waechter said a new facility would open space for more technology in Watson Library. The repository might have computer referenced stacks with volumes sorted by size rather than title to save space.
