SUA will also have a student versus the chancellor contest about KU trivia, she said.
The session will be from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union.

Holiday party tomorrow for young Lawrence children
"It's a great opportunity to give back and I know the kids love it," said Kim File, Edmond, Okla., junior and holiday chair for CCO.
No one celebrates the holidays like children. The Center of Community Outreach will be celebrating the with more than 700 Lawrence children from 2 to 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Last year more than 200 KU students volunteered for the holiday party and with wrapping all of the presents.
The children's holiday party is an annual tradition for the student volunteer group. Every year, NBC's Today Show sponsors the party. This year the show donated $10,000 to buy gifts for the children. Other donations came in from Coke, the Kansas Union and Hy-Vee. The party is open to any one who wants the join in giving presents and participating in craft projects and games.
The student group is still looking for volunteers for the party. Volunteers do not have to stay for the entire program and are encouraged to bring ideas for craft projects.
More than 45 students participated in wrapping presents Tuesday night. The wrapping will continue from 6 to 8 tonight on the third floor of the Kansas Union. The group will be meeting near the big screen TV.
"We are all excited for the party," File said. "It is a way to end the semester on a positive note."
CCO is a student-run and student-funded organization on campus. It was created by Student Senate in 1990. Today the group helps more than 7,000 students by placing them in volunteer opportunities through 14 programs and partnerships with campus and community agencies.

CORRECTION
Tuesday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Prized KU grad speaks of Pulitzer," stated that Kevin Helliker has been the Chicago Wall Street Journal bureau chief for the last 15 years. He has been at the Wall Street Journal for the last 15 years, but has only been the Chicago bureau chief for eight years.
CLARIFICATION
ON THE RECORD
An article in Tuesday's University Daily Kansan needs clarification. The article, "Tuition hike up for vote," should not have made reference to a tuition hike. The proposal discussed is for a differential tuition fee for classes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
A 22-year-old KU student reported to Lawrence police that someone had stolen his Dell computer from his car sometime between 12:30 and 1 p.m. in the 1300 block of Ohio Street. His loss is valued at $2,850.
