Pre-Law society has fair for budding KU lawyers
Undergraduates interested in attending law school are encouraged to visit the PreLaw Fair today at the Kansas Union.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., more than 20 different law schools, primarily from the Midwest, will be in the Kansas University Ballroom to talk to potential students about admissions, financial aid and law school expectations. Applications also will be available from law schools from the East and West Coast. Kaplan and Princeton testing services will be on hand to answer questions about LAST testing.
There will be two information forums during the day. At 10 a.m. in the Jayhawk Room, there will be a session about financial aid and payors for law school. At 1 p.m. in the parlors there will be a presentation about law school admissions, including grade requirements and LSAT scores.
Karen Isley, Toledo, Ohio, senior and president of Phil Alpha Delta Pre-Law society, said the society was sponsoring the event and it expected from 300 to 400 people to participate in the Pre-Law Fair.
"It is for everyone," she said. "But it is catered to undergraduates."
Students who are thinking about attend law school are encouraged to attend. Isla said the Pre-Law Fair made finding out about different law schools easier.
Jenny Pittsford, Houston sophomore, said she was going to attend the fair to get information about law schools. She has not made a final decision about going to law school but hoped the Pre-Law Fair would help her make a decision
K-State draws more blood than University's drive
— Aerica Veazoy
Kansas State University beat the University of Kansas in their semi-annual blood drive competition last week.
Although more than 750 people donated blood at the University, K-State had more than 1,000 donors.
The American Red Cross, which offered the blood drive at the Kansas
1,011 units, said Chris Berry, co-coordinator of the blood drive.
Union and other KU sites, collected 663 units of usable blood, an increase of more than 120 units. K-State won the competition with
"We're disappointed that we lost, but we went up in total units so we we're still excited," Berry said. "Hopefully, we'll continue to increase."
KU won the competition last spring. Berry said he thought the blood drive — which was sponsored by the Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council, residence halls and scholarship
halls — could have done better.
He said the blood drive lost some donors because of a different blood drive held from Sept. 21 to Sept. 24 at Allen Field House.

The next blood drive will be the first week of March 1999.
Police find alleged crack on naked man's clothing
A naked Lawrence man was arrested yesterday morning after police found a substance believed to be crack cocaine in his discarded clothing.
The incident began at about 3:30 a.m. when a Lawrence police officer noticed two people in a blue Mercury driving down an alley in the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Street.
The officer was suspicious because of the time and location, so he pulled the car over at the end of the alley in the 1:300 block of Connecticut Street.
"Upon pulling the two suspects over, the officer asked if anyone had any crack on them," said Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler.
Immediately after hearing this, the 25 year-old passenger, jumped out of the car. ripped his clothes off and told the officer to search him. Wheeler said.
"The man began pulling his clothes off in an angry manner, whereupon the policeman advised him to put back on his pants," Wheeler said.
When the officer searched the naked man's clothing, he found a substance believed to be crack cocaine and a pipe police believe to be a crack pipe.
The man was placed into the Douglas County Jail at 3:55 a.m. on charges of possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

NATO strikes diverted; United Nations waits
WORLD
WASHINGTON - Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, bowing to NATO military threats, has agreed to comply with U.N. demands to end his seven-month repression of Kosovo Albanians, Clinton administration officials said last night.
The officials said Milosevic agreed to the deployment of 2,000 monitors to ensure that he abides by his promises.
As an added incentive, NATO envoys meeting in Brussels gave the green light for air strikes against Serb forces stationed in Kosovo if Milosevic fails to comply, the officials said.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Milosevic agreed to aerial monitoring of Yugoslav compliance in addition to ground monitors.
He made clear that mistrust of Miosevic was a critical factor behind the U.S. insistence on thorough monitoring of the agreement.
There had been repeated warnings by U.S. officials that NATO military strikes were planned if Milosevic refused to go along with the U.N. demands, which were spelled out on Sept. 23.
The agreement was hammered out by U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke during a week of marathon negotiations that often seemed on the verge of collapse.
The Security Council demands include withdrawal of more Serb troops from Kosovo, allowing humanitarian aid to refugees and opening up talks with the secessionists.

Computer virus shuts down labs in Stauffer-Flint
Continued from page 1A
Students with infected computers may download the free Wormscanner software at http://members.ad.com/jwwalker/pages/worm.html
The infected disk was used in a computer at the Kansan newsroom, and the worm was transferred onto the newsroom computers, Knupp said. He said he thought the virus was then transferred by a student in the newsroom to one of the computers in the journalism laboratories.
Wednesday night, the computer labs in the journalism school were closed because the worm had spread to the computer system. This meant that students who had saved their work in public journalism files could not open them.
Cade Cruickshank, chief broadcast engineer and network administrator for the School of Journalism, said that the worm was detected on the Advanced Magazine and Design and Business Communications class files.
"The worm caused us to shut down the labs so that we could run software on the machines to find out where it was," Cruickshank said. "By using Wormscanner, we were able to check and see if it existed so that we could delete it."
Dan Thompson, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said his disk was ruined when he used it on one of the laboratory computers.
I put my disk into the computer and it started making noise," Thompson said. "I wasn't sure what the problem was, so I just had to take the disk out of the computer, because it wasn't bringing up the information I needed."
