BSU ended the semester by collecting clothes for the homeless. Martha Joanah, program co-chairwoman and Dallas sophomore, said boxes had been placed in the Daisy Hill residence halls throughout the past month.

Women invited to visit Miss Lawrence meeting
The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m at Stephens Real Estate Office, 2701 West Sixth St.
Women between 17 and 25 and who have lived in Lawrence for six months are invited to attend an informational meeting about the Miss Lawrence Scholarship Pageant tomorrow.
Lee Beth Dever, executive director of the Miss Lawrence Scholarship Organization, said the pageant was not what some people may perceive it to be.
"These young women are recognized for their beliefs, their strengths and their talents, and for what they offer to their community," Dever said.
The winner of the Miss Lawrence Scholarship Pageant will go on to the Miss Kansas Pageant. Miss Kansas feeds into the Miss America Pageant.
Events in the Miss Lawrence Scholarship Pageant include a personal interview, a talent competition, an evening wear competition and a swimsuit competition, Dever said.

State trooper shoots man on Greyhound bus
SALINA — A state trooper making a routine drug search of a Greyhound bus yesterday morning shot and killed a passenger who fired his own gun as he struggled with another trooper, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
It was not immediately known how many shots the trooper fired.
The man was shot after getting off one shot from his gun during the struggle, Patrol Sgt. Derrick Hood said. Other passengers were on the bus but no one else was injured.
The man's name and age have not yet been released. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Hood said.
Hood said the patrol and Greyhound have an anti-drug agreement under which a drug-sniffing dog checks buses for contraband.
Hood said the dog indicated the presence of contraband in a carry-on bag. Inside, troopers found a holster.
One man who was questioned said he owned the bag, Hood said.
At that point, the man started to struggle and made a movement to his belitline. An officer grabbed hold and knew he had a weapon.
"While he had hold of the suspect, the suspect fired and the second officer returned fire," Hood said.

Derby student battles school's policy in court
NATION
Attorney Jason Sneed asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a brief filed yesterday to issue an injunction barring the school district from enforcing the policy and to order that all records of the student's suspension be purged because the student's right to free speech was violated. He asked that the judges hear oral arguments in the case.
Jeff Griffith, attorney for the Derby School District, said he also would ask for oral arguments in the case. He said the student had been warned three times about the school's racial policy and the student was punished because he was just doing it to show off.
The Rutherford Institute sued the Derby School District on behalf of T.J. West, claiming that the boy's First Amendment right to freedom of speech had been violated.
Farmers block highways to protest trade policies
WORLD
PEMBINA, N.D. — Unhappy about an agreement with Canada, farmers blocked highways and halted Canadian trucks to protest trade policies they call unfair to American growers.
Protesters stopped about a dozen Canadian trucks Sunday at three North Dakota sites near the border, said Col. Jim Hughes, commander of the state Highway Patrol. Farmers also protested at the border at Sweetgrass, Mont.
At rallies in North Dakota, farmers demanded a moratorium on Canadian grain imports until domestic grain prices rose above the cost of production.
An agreement reached last week between U.S. and Canadian negotiators called for stepped-up monitoring of Canada's wheat sales and lower barriers on American grain and livestock moving north.
