Deadline to alter address is tomorrow for students
Tomorrow is the last day students will be able to change their school-year address in time for the mailing of the permits to enroll in spring semester classes.
To change where the University Registrar's Office sends documents to students during the school year, students can go to the registrar's window on the first floor of Strong Hall with their KUID, send a letter to the registrar with a signature or visit the registrar's Web site at www.ukans.edu/~registr.
To change an address on the Web, students must provide their social security number; KUID number; month, date and year of birth and e-mail address.
"The type one addresses of the students who live in the dorms are changed automatically," she said. "The students who need to worry about it are the ones living in fraternities, sororites or off campus."
Kathryn Tuttle, director of the freshman-sophomore advising center, said the address change was more important for students living off campus than for those living in the residence halls.

Miami City Ballet starts millennium countdown
The Lied Center will start its cultural Countdown to the Millennium with the Miami City Ballet at 8 tonight.
"I feel like an ambassador to the Latino community," said Jimmy Gamonet, a resident Peruvian choreographer of the company. "It is very exciting for us to show different angles of Latin influences."
Beginning this year, the Lied Center will highlight the performing arts of a different culture each year, starting with the Latin culture.
Gamonet told the Miami City Ballet tonight would perform Transantangos, a piece based on the music of the master of nuevo tango, Astor Piazzolla.
"I created Transtangts out of the company's intent to reach the Latin community in Miami," Gamonet said. "I chose a suite of tangos and fuse it with the academic vocabulary of ballet."
Gloria Flores, director of the office of minority affairs and multicultural
resource center, said that it was wonderful that an organization as prominent as the Lied Center took the initiative of promoting different groups that are influencing contemporary arts.
"I think it should be done every year and not only as a part of the countdown to the millennium." Flores said
Tickets for tonight's performance range from $29 to $35 for the public and $15 to $17.50 for students.

Student pleads not guilty to aggravated assault
An University of Kansas student pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault yesterday afternoon in Douglas County District Court.
Greg Lewis, Norfolk, Va., sophomore; was arrested Sunday night for allegedly driving his car through an anti-abortion display on Daisy Hill.
His preliminary hearing was set for
1:45 p.m. oct. 8 in district court.
Following his Sunday arrest, Lewis was booked into the Douglas County Jail, where he spent the night.
He was released Monday after he paid a $2,500 bond, a Douglas County Jail representative said.
In Sunday's incident, a display worker nearly was run over and a sign was destroyed, police said.
An 18-year-old Lawrence man died yesterday morning when the car he was driving flew through the air and smashed into two trees, ending a 15-block, high-speed chase down Ninth Street. Lawrence police said.
High-speed chase ends as driver hits tree, dies
Police said that Jance Blanco was driving west down Ninth Street when they tried to pull him over near the Avalon Street intersection.
Police said the car was moving between lanes and not obeying traffic signs, leading the officer to think that alcohol may have been involved.
When the officer pulled up behind him,
Branto drove an a high rate of speed.
The officer followed Blanco west on Ninth Street, where Blanco ran the stollight at the Iowa Street intersection and drove through a construction area just west of the street, police said.
Police then lost sight of the man because of road contours.
Police said they saw Blanco's car one last time as it topped the hill at the Chalk Hill Court intersection.
They regained sight of Blanco at the Lawrence Avenue intersection, where Blanco ran a stop sign.
About two hundred feet later, Blanco lost control of the car, struck a tree and riccoethed into another tree next door.
Blanco was dead at the scene, police said, but a passenger survived.

NATION McVeigh asks for appeal because of juror's remark
DENVER — Timothy McVeigh wants an appeals court to overturn his conviction in the Oklahoma City bombing because he thinks his trial was tainted
McVeigh: Says jurors improperly discussed verdict.
by a juror who said that the jurors all knew what the correct verdict was. McVeigh's lawyers asked the court Tuesday to rehear arguments that his conviction and death sentence should be overturned on grounds the remark may have influenced other jurors. McVeigh was sero-
tenced to die for the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The explosion killed 168 people and injured more than 500 others
ON CAMPUS
A three-judge panel on the 30th U.S. Court of Appeals decided earlier this month that there was no misconduct when a juror apparently decided McVeigh's guilt before his trial was finished. The panel said the juror's comments were ambiguous.
During the trial last year, an alternate juror told a court clerk that jurors discussed which of them would decide the case and which would serve as alternates, and that one juror said: "It wouldn't be very hard. I think we all know what the verdict should be."
MeVeigh's lawyers are asking the full appeals court to rehear the claim, saying that the trial judge should have held an immediate hearing to determine if a mistrial was warranted.

Francisco said that she wasn't concerned that The Hawk now could serve hard liquor but that she was concerned with issues regarding the location of the bar, noise, lewd conduct and parking.
Francisco said that when she and some of the other members of the association moved to the Oread area, neighborhood bars such as The Hawk closed at midnight.
"It's not like this was ever zoned as a bar," she said. All that said he and Heleniak planned to meet with members of the Oread Neighborhood Association.
"The Hawk wants to show the neighborhood that it values its concerns." All said.
All said that his client did not own The Hawk when the bar's liquor license was revoked and it was closed down or when it reopened with a cereal malt beverage license.
He said that Heleniak had taken several steps to control The Hawk's patrons, including hiring more bouncers and installing a system that scans identifications to verify patrons' ages.
