Board helps online site bring studies to teachers
The National Board of Governors of the Online Academy will discuss marketing strategies and technological development tomorrow at the Dole Center.
The Academy is an online program designed to help bring special education research into the classroom. It is run by the department of special education with the support of a $3 million, 3-year grant awarded by the U.S. Office of Special Education Program last fall.
Different online modules will be used in college courses or separately as
their own online courses, said Edward Meyen, principal investigator on the project.
Three modules for teacher education students will be online by the end of the November and a module directed at professors in teacher education is finishing up testing, Meyen said. The professor module was demonstrated at a board dinner last night at the Adam's Alumni Center.
The site is designed to sustain itself after the three-year grant is completed, but the academy is looking for ways to continue operations. It is pursuing work with state agencies and private industry to help fund the site, Meyen said.

Janelle Moore, Norton senior and organizer of this year's Pharmacy Fair, said that the event was a chance to clear up misunderstandings people had about pharmacists.
it's a great opportunity to come ask pharmacy questions," she said. "People don't often realize that pharmacists know all about over-the-counter drugs, too."
Members of the academy will staff a variety of booths to perform free medical tests, distribute information and hand out free drug samples.
In addition, the pharmacy students, Cathy Thrasher, director of the Watkins Health Center Pharmacy, and Larry Davidow, professor of pharmacy will be available to answer questions.

two Lawrence residents who were arrested in 1996 for drug charges face sentencing in Douglas County District Court.
Two arrested for drugs to be sentenced today
Lawrence residents Karen Keogh and Andrew Riegel were found guilty of drug-related charges Sept. 8, said Dan Dunbar, assistant district attorney.
The two will be sentenced by District Court Judge Jack Murphy at 4 p.m. in the Division 2 courtroom.
Both could face five to 10 years in prison but probably will receive only about 15 months probation because these were their first offenses, Dunbar said.
Undercover officers from the Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit targeted Riegel in 1996 and bought marijuana from him before finally arresting him. Dunbar said.
Through Riegel, officers discovered that he had been buying marijuana from Keogh.
"Riegel was the initial target we were buying from. We followed him to her residence, where we observed her counting money in her bedroom," Dunbar said.
She also was found with more than four pounds of marijuana, over $3,000 and small amounts of crystal methamphetamine and cocaine, Dunbar said.

College-cost increase less than years past
WASHINGTON — The price of going to college rose an average of 4 percent this academic year—a lesser increase than in previous years but still more than double inflation.
Tuition and fees ranged from $66 higher at a public two-year college to $723 higher at a private, four-year college, according to figures released today by the College Board. For a public fouryear institution, the 4 percent equaled $132, for average tuition and fees of $3,243.
Tuition and fees had risen 5 percent the previous year and 6 percent each of three years before that. Because of an earlier round of double-digit growth, tuition at public four-year institutions has risen 50 percent in a decade. Family income rose only 1.5 percent.

had a right to LaCerte said one unfortunate consequence of the impeachment matter was the lack of media attention on other issues. In a recent week, Congress dealt with more than 40 bills that received little coverage, he said
"It leaves the impression that all of Washington is in paralysis," LaCerte said.
He said Snowbarger was not on the judiciary committee and had not been spending a great deal of time on the inquiry matter.
Phil Stevenson, KU Young Democrats president, said he thought Congress had acted irresponsibly by pushing for impeachment. He accused Republicans of trying to tear down Clinton's presidency.
"Congressmen Snowbarger wished all of this never happened," LaCearte said. "But, at the same time, he can't shirk the responsibility."
"I don't see much more than a personal mistake, and it's going to rip out the heart and soul of a country," Stevenson said.
