At a question-and-answer session with students last night, Chancellor Robert Hemenway addressed speculation about a new football facility being built between the Campanile and Memorial Stadium.
If the facility was built, people might not be able to watch Kansas football games from the hill and students might not be able to walk down the hill for graduation.
Nothing will interfere with students walking down the hill at graduation, Hemenway said.

can get at a secular university."
Robert Hemenway University of Kansas chancellor
Hemenway answered students' questions last night at a forum dubbed "Chancellor's Questions," held at the Hawk's Nest on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
Students at the University of Kansas were able to ask Hemenway any questions they wanted while they ate a free bowl of chill. About 25 students attended the event.
Student Union Activities, which sponsored the event, tries to organize bigger events for students, but it also provides some smaller and more intimate events, said Megan Storm, SUA social issues coordinator.
The new football facility was one of many issues the chancellor addressed.
Jason Flay, Vernon Center, N.Y., senior, started the night off with the first "grilling question," as he put it.
Flay, an anthropology major, asked how the University could spend thousands of dollars on beautifying the campus while, at the same time, it shut down the Museum of Anthropology.
The public portion of the museum was closed in Fall 2002 after a state

The event, called "Chancellor's Questions" was held so students could ask Hemenway anything they wanted to know about the University.

Not even a ruptured disc can stop John Paul Johnson from spreading holiday cheer.
"This is not meant for sympathy, but getting old sucks," Johnson told his chamber choir on Wednesday.
The director of choral activities will help conduct the 80th KU Holiday Vespers this Sunday at the Lied Center, even though he hurt his back moving timpani. Heidi Schellman was surprised Johnson directed rehearsals on Wednesday.
"That man is crazy," said Schellman, Lawrence junior and chamber choir member. "Two days ago he couldn't stand up straight. He's giving all he has and more."

The department of music and dance scheduled two performances of Vespers this year, one at 2:30 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m. More than 200 vocalists

Flu shot clinic planned for campus
Dec.12 clinic will offer 1,300 doses at the fieldhouse
Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department are teaming up to host another flu clinic from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 12 at Allen Fieldhouse.

At least 1,300 doses of the vaccine will be available, said Myra Strother, director of health services at Watkins.
The clinic will be similar to one held Oct. 23 at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, in northwest Lawrence.
She said people who come to the clinic were asked not to come early because the clinic would not open until noon.
Strother said she would like to see at
least one thing done differently.
People who went to the flu clinic at Free State came as early as 2:30 a.m. The clinic didn't open until 10 a.m.
Strother said she suggested that people could wait in their cars if they wanted to come early.
As a result, hundreds of people shivered in the cold and waited just to get into the building.
Blankets the health department provided were limited, and there weren't enough for everyone.
HIGH RISK GROUP
SEE FLU ON PAGE 5A
"There's four hours when the clinic will be open," she said. "Everyone who wants a vaccine should be able to get one."
Here are the qualifications for the high risk group for flu shots:
People 65 years of age and older Children ages 6 months to 23 months
Adults and children 2 years of age and older with chronic lung or heart disorders including heart disease and asthma
Pregnant women

Children and teenagers, 6 months to 18 years of age, who take aspirin daily
Residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities
Household members and out-of-home caregivers of infants under the age of 8 months (Children under the age of 6 months cannot be vaccinated.)
Healthcare workers who provide direct, hands-on patient care with regular frequency to the priority group patients listed above

Pantoja, HALO president, encourages all KU students to come and experience the clubbing scene along with some Latin spice. Latin, salsa, hip-hop and reggae music will be provided by the DIs.
"Salsa dancing is in demand," Pantoia said.
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will spice up the dance floor Saturday night.
She said HALO members kept getting questions about where to get Salsa lessons. She told the members to make sure to not be afraid to meet new people and to help them with learning the steps.
The group put together the dance party, Invierno, to be held at the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., and features disc jockey Danny Jalapeño and disc jockey 151. Invierno means winter in Spanish.
"Get out of your weekend routine." Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior, said.
Juan Gonzalez, Bronx, N.Y. freshman and social chairman for HALO, said that the music should draw a diverse crowd. The group wants this to be a big night. he said.
After months of planning, the main contribution to the party is from the DJs.
They are volunteering their time, paying for the venue and the flyers for the event. Gonzalez said.
Ronald Ruiz, DJ 151 and owner of 151 Entertainment, wants to support HALO by getting its name out. He is a great guy and our No.1 promoter, Gonzalez said.
"I just noticed that there wasn't enough events for HALO and I wanted to change that." Ruiz said.
Ruiz has done a lot of parties for other organizations but he wanted to get involved with HALO because of his heritage.
"Being Hispanic, I feel that there is not enough older Latinos helping the younger out," Ruiz said.
