United Way campaign raises record amount
The United Way of Douglas County announced last night that it raised $1,275,595 in this year's campaign. Hank Booth, drive chair, said this year's total was the most money raised in a Douglas County campaign.
"And we're not done yet," Booth said during last night's ceremony recognizing United Way volunteers. "We still anticipate some late givings."
This year's campaign surpassed last year's total by $100,000 and exceeded United Way's 1998 campaign goal of $1.25 million.
The county-wide campaign, which included Lawrence, Eudora, Baldwin City and Lecompton, began in mid-September. United Way received donations from private individuals, local businesses, school districts, the University of Kansas and other local organizations.
The money raised will be allocated in January among 30 social service agencies.

The University raised about $166,000 for the campaign, including $42,500 in Rock Chalk Revue revenues. The University still is working toward its goal of $173,000.
Administrators urge faculty to back raise
University of Kansas administrators want faculty to help with ongoing lobby efforts to increase salary levels at the state's public universities.
Provest David Shulenburger and Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, asked University Council yesterday to write letters and make phone calls to Gov. Bill Graves and state legislators and ask them to support a Board of Regents initiative to raise faculty salaries.
The initiative, if approved by Graves and the Legislature, would increase salaries by 7.6 percent for three years in order to catch up to the national level.
Hutton provided a brochure to council members that will give faculty information that highlights the needs for higher salaries.
Hutton said that Chancellor Robert
Rememway had visited many locations throughout the state and talked with people about the validity of the increases.

"Sure there are individual benefits, but there are also societal benefits from supporting higher education," Hutton said.
A McCollom Hall resident's room was burgled Monday, and a check from his stolen checkbook was found taped to a mirror in a bathroom on his floor with a racial slur written on it.
The student's roommate may have been asleep in the room during the theft, which occurred between 6 and 10:40 p.m., said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. Because someone was in the room, the incident was considered an aggravated battery. The roommate was not aware of anyone entering the room, Mailen said.
The student's checkbook was found on a shelf under the mirror where the check was taped.
Mailen said the thief also left a racial message on a dry-erase board on the victim's door.
Smith windows broken; stained glass unharmed
A vandal broke three office windows on the east side of Smith Hall Wednesday night.
A witness heard glass breaking and saw a man running south from the hall between 11:18 and 11:23 p.m., said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. The windows were broken with pieces of cinder blocks, Mailen said. One of the three windows broke completely, and a piece of cinder block was found inside that office.
The incident was the fifth attack on Smith since April, but the first where stained glass windows on the front of the building were not targeted.
In the last incident on Sept. 3, a davenal tried to break the stained glass windows but was stopped by safety glass. The vandal then broke three office windows in the hall.
The witness to this incident described the suspect as a white male in dark clothing, possibly blue jeans, and a gray stocking cap.

Man assaults officer, leaves his car behind
Lawrence police are looking for a 21-year-old Lawrence man who struck an officer yesterday at Haskell University.
The incident began about 3:15 a.m. near Powhatan Hall, when a Haskell security guard saw the man—a former student forbidden to be at the university—walking through campus, said Lawrence Police Set. George Wheeler.
"When the policeman went up to talk to him, the suspect pushed him in the chest with both hands." Wheeler said.
The guard then called the police, who arrived about 3:30 a.m.
Police said the man then ran away, and police were unable to catch him.
The man left his car at the university, and police said they are using it in their investigation.

Weapons inspectors workers evacuate Iraq
BAGHADAD, Iraq — Convoys of buses evacuated all U.N. weapons inspectors and many humanitarian workers from Iraq on Wednesday, raising fears that a military strike by the United States and Britain was imminent.
Ira showed no sign of backing down from its refusal to deal with the arms inspectors, and 40 more U.N. relief workers were evacuated Thursday morning. In two days, 170 humanitarian workers have been sent to the Jordanian capital of Amman. All 103 U.N. weapons inspectors were taken out Wednesday by air to Bahrain in the Gulf.
Iraqs appeared to be taking the situation in stride, and there was little evidence of panic or any rush to stock up on food.
Prakash Shah, the special envoy of U.N. Secretary-General Koffan, said the withdrawal was "in the background of possible military action against Iraq."
The United States and Britain have been threatening a military strike since Iraq announced Oct. 31, that it was halting the activities of the U.N. Special Commission, known as UNSCOM, which is charged with certifying that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have been destroyed.
Iraq says it will not resume cooperation with UNSCOM unless the Security Council moves to begin lifting trade sanctions imposed to punish Iraq for its 1990 invasion of Kuwait, which sparked the Persian Gulf War.

KU students to visit conference
Underclassmen to attend meeting on residence halls
By Melody Ard
Kansan staff writer
A delegation of University of Kansas students is Minnesota-bound today to attend a conference about educational programming and leadership in university residence halls.
The 15 students will attend the Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, a regional conference for students who live in scholarship or residence halls.
Randy Timm, assistant director of housing, said the students' goal was to share ideas and learn from students at other universities.
"This conference is a programming conference and a leadership, wellness, diversity and spiritual conference." Timm said.
Timm said the University would be recognized for several regional awards, including one for Adam Yarbrough, Shawnee senior for Best Student Executive Board Member and another for Templin Hall for Best Community Service Program.
The KU delegation is taking a banner and display and presenting a program about gay, lesbian and bisexual issues. They also are presenting a program about safe sex called "Sex and Candy."
"Sex and Candy" is a fun way to let people know about serious issues about safe sex," Yarbrough said.
Bart Baldwin, Ottawa senior, said the group chose sex as the theme because
those programs previously had been well attended.
Timm said he particularly was interested in other leadership programs.
"We are interested in learning about diversity training," Timm said. "We have gone from 15 to 105 documentable positions over the last 4 years, and we need to find ways to keep communicating with each other and improving our system."
The KU delegates mainly are underclassmen who were chosen from applications. Timm said the University wanted to send underclassmen because many had not had any residence hall leadership training.
Richard Dana, Jefferson City, Mo., freshman, said he hoped his experiences in publicizing his residence hall's programs would be useful to other students.
