1. Woman finally buried
30 years after her death
LONDON — The body of a British nurse who died 30 years ago in Saudi Arabia was cremated Monday after her father gave up his hope for a new investigation in her case.
A funeral was held at a crematory in the Yorkshire town of Wakefield, 185 miles northwest of London, for Helen Smith, whose remains had been held in a British mortuary since 1979.
Her father, 83-year-old Ron Smith, had refused to permit her burial until now because he dismissed official reports that the death was an accident.
Saudi investigators said Helen Smith was found dead in the street the morning after she attended a party in Jeddah city on May 20,1979.
Officials concluded that she accidentally fell from a balcony. She was 23.
Ron Smith believes his daughter was murdered, and had preserved her body in hope of providing forensic evidence
to expose what he said was a cover-up.

CAMPUS Parking Commission plans to hold public discussion
Associated Press
The University's Parking Commission is sponsoring a public hearing to discuss KU's Parking and Transit departmental policies, rules and fees.
The meeting will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union.
"I'm going to guess there's going to be a lot more people there and probably to talk specifically about some of the survey questions or concepts." Hultine said.
Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said she expected a larger audience this year as opposed to previous years because of the surveys linked to the e-mails sent out to faculty and students Nov. 2. The surveys addressed assigned parking
Hultine said she hoped these issues would bring a big audience so the parking department could have feedback and ideas to work on in the coming years. Hultine said the department would form focus groups based on the feedback in order to address what direction it should take to improve parking.
"This affects everybody so if students are worried or have ideas about parking, I'm sure they'll come on over if they don't have class." Hultine said.
