KU alumna to lecture about Sesame Street
For 30 years, Big Bird and the gang from Sesame Street have remained childhood icons.
The Academic Services Staff Develop ment committee hopes to bring students, faculty and staff together today to reflect on the popular children's television program at a lecture given by Rosemarie Truglio, director of research for Sesame Street.
The lecture, titled "Television: The Other Family Member," will be at 10:30 at the Pioneer room in the Kansas Union.
Truglio received her doctorate in Developmental and Child Psychology from the University of Kansas.
Mary Ryan, committee chairman and director of the office of New Student Orientation, said the lecture was not directed just to parents, but to anyone who was curious about the behind-the-scenes operations of the program.
"I think the nice thing we can do is bring in experts like this," she said. "Those people attending the program might not have children, but it is nice to hear from a graduate of KU that's going out there and doing something so positive."
Truglio is expected to address facts, myths and concerns surrounding the effects of television on children.
Ryan said she was not sure how many people to expect for the lecture.
"We have between 30 and 40 people RSVP, but it is difficult to predict how many people will actually be there," she said. "It seems like a pretty hot topic right now."

Yearbook sittings cost $1 for non-purchasers
This year, students who want their picture taken for the 1998-1999 Jayhawker Yearbook will have to pay a $1 sitting fee if they do not purchase a yearbook.
Cale Apple, assistant editor, said that the yearbook had charged a $1 siting fee in previous years, but not during the last two years.
Apple said that the yearbook had changed photography companies this
year and that it was the new company's policy to charge a $1. sitting fee to students who did not purchase a yearbook. This is its policy for all universities for which it shoots yearbook photos.
Apple also said that the $1 sitting fee was an incentive for students to buy the yearbook.
Yearbooks are $30 each.

Ground beef recalled; E. coli's presence feared
OMAHA, Neb. — More than half a million pounds of ground beef in 33 states have been recalled because the meat might contain a deadly strain of E. coli.
IBP officials said Wednesday a sample of beef taken Oct. 22 from its Dakota City plant was tested by a distributor before being sent to a supermarket and found to be tainted with E. coll.
About 7 percent went directly to consumers, sold in generic retail tubes labeled "Ground Beef (20 percent fat)" or "Ground Beef (27 percent fat)" with the product code: EST 245C SELL/FREEZE BY NOV 09 B.
IBP said the bacteria presented no danger as long as the meat was cooked thoroughly.

Aid resumes to Sarajevo; non-Muslims to return
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The European Union is resuming aid to
The 15-nation EU and the U.S. Agency for International Development suspended construction assistance worth about $20 million. They wanted to pressure city officials to allow the return of 20,000 non-Muslims to their prewar homes.
Although still disappointed with the number of non-Muslims returning to the Muslim-held city, Carlos Westendorp, Bosnia's senior international administrator, decided to recommend the lifting of suspension, said in a statement from his office.
temperatures extreme before Swissair crash
ZURICH, Switzerland — Temperatures rose to 572 degrees without leaving traces of fire in the cockpit and part of the first-class section of Swissair Flight 111 before it crashed, an in-house staff publication of the airline said yesterday.
There still is no indication of the source of the heat, said the publication News. It described as pure speculation theories that a fire was caused by an electrical short that ignited insulation material.
The MD-11 airliner flying from New York to Geneva crashed Sept. 2 off the coast of Canada, killing all 229 people aboard.
The area involved would have extended into the first-class section, the front row of which was a little more than 27 feet back from the nose, according to Canadian documents.
Previous reports have said the temperature was high enough to damage plastic, but the newsletter gave the first indication of just how hot it was.
U.N. wants compliance; Iraq not planning on it
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council unanimously demanded yesterday that Iraq resume cooperation with U.N. weapons inspectors immediately. Baghdad has already announced it won't comply.
The resolution didn't include a timetable for lifting crippling economic sanctions, which Iraq has demanded as the price for reversing its decision to cut all dealings with the inspectors.
Council members reaffirmed their readiness to hold a comprehensive review of Iraq's compliance with U.N. resolutions, which could lead to the lifting of the oil embargo if U.N. inspectors declare Iraq has disarmed. But this offer is contingent on Iraq resuming cooperation with weapons inspectors.

Opinions mixed about supplements
Continued from page 1A
supplements unnecessary.
"It doesn't benefit the student enough to make them use these supplements," she said. "The teachers don't encourage or enforce their use, even though they recommend them."
He said that a misunderstanding in the past led him to think that a certain supplement was being offered free when students were being charged for it.
Bill Paschke, professor of mathematics and chairman of a department committee that recommends textbooks for undergraduate mathematics courses, has become more careful when he orders textbooks.
"My plea to colleagues is to ask about the price before ordering these books," he said.
Melissa Bazert, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said she did not find the cassettes that supplemented her Spanish 216 text useful.
"It's all in the book," she said. "Why do we have to pay for these supplements when everything else in college is so expensive?"
Bob Bryan, regional manager of Irwin McGraw-Hill, one of the biggest textbook publishing houses in the country, said that increasing popularity of supplements was leading to greater bundling.
"There is greater demand for CDs," he said.
He said that professors also preferred supplements because they were being allotted less money for copying materials to hand out in class.
Everett Grover, professor of chemistry, said that by being careful, professors could ensure that students got a good deal for textbooks.
