One-car accident kills KU student

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Kansas basketball was John Fulbright's first passion.
www.kansan.com
Last night's game was one of the few Fulbright missed.
The 21-year-old KU student was pronounced dead at the scene of an accident in Olathe shortly after midnight Sunday.
Fulbright was riding with his friend, Eric Richards, a Kansas State University student, who was driving west-bound on 119th Street. Richard's black Mazda RX7 struck a utility pole. Sgt. Greg O'Halloran, Olathe Police, said. Twenty-one-year-old Richards also died at the scene.
O'Halloran said he couldn't release further details because the initial report was not complete. The accident is still under investigation.
Fulbright's KU basketball fanaticism began his freshman year in 2001 when he

Kendra Mitchell, Wichita senior, said Fulbright was always proud when he and his friends made it on television or their pictures were printed in newspapers.
Friends said Fulbright often camped out for basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse and watched from the front rows of the student section.
Fulbright loved sports, his dad said. He played hockey at Olathe East High School and had been on football and basketball intramural teams at the University.

CLAS students could get voice on tuition increase
Students will ultimately decide whether they will pay additional fees to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in future years.
A fourth stage has been added to the CLAS tuition increase proposal. Kim Wilcox, dean of CLAS, said that in the new stage, students would have the opportunity to vote on the increases.
vote in a referendum, students could answer questions on surveys, individual departments could vote or Student Senate could offer its onion.
Wilcox said if students were opposed to the proposal in the new stage, it would not be presented to the Kansas Board of Regents for approval.
Some students said they would consider becoming more involved in the proposal process if they knew they would have a vote.
Alissa Smet, Newton sophomore, said she liked the idea of a vote and would definitely get more involved in discussing the tuition proposal.
Although Wilcox said he didn't know how students would vote, several options were being reviewed. The vote could be left up to the CLAS College Assembly, students could

She said a vote made the proposal process more appealing.
The CLAS tuition increase proposal would introduce a $30 increase per credit hour in the college, to be phased in over a three-year period.
If the tuition increase was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, students would pay $10 per credit hour in differential tuition for the 2005-2006 school year. Students would then pay $20 per credit hour the next year and $30 per credit hour for the following years.
Prized KU grad speaks of Pulitzer
BY ROSS FITCH
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Medical explanatory reporter earned Kevin Helliker a Pulitzer Prize, but the University of Kansas gave him his first skills as a journalist.
Described as "the prodigial son of KU and Kansas City" by journalism professor Ted Frederickson, Kevin Helliker relived his KU experience and his journey in reporting about aortic aneurysms last night in the Kansas Union.
Helliker said studying journalism prepared him for

Journalism was not Helliker's first choice of study. He followed his brother, Keith, to the University and took a particular interest in a humanities class in the English department. What he learned from an unusual path into journalism made him a rarity in newsrooms.
"I'm the only guy at The Wall Street Journal who knows their constellations," he said.
He earned a degree in English literature from the University in 1982 and only took a couple of years' worth of journalism classes before embarking on his journey toward the Pulitzer.
Walking over to what was then Flint Hall, the journalism school, was an economic decision because he said job offers were not pouring in for him as an English major, but all his friends in journalism had jobs.
Helliker has been the Chicago Wall Street Journal bureau chief for the last 15 years.
After his two years in the journalism school, Helliker left with the blessing of his professors and worked for the Kansas City Times, The Wall Street Journal Houston bureau and Corporate

Kevin Helliker, a KU graduate who won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory writing, answers a question in the Big 12 Room at the Kansas Union.
Other professors Helliker named who had a significant impact on his life and career were Ted Frederickson and the late John Bremner.
"It was the hardest class I ever took," Helliker said of Musser's advanced reporting class.

The barn sits about 45 yards from the brick house. And sometimes, Dennis Dailey goes out there at night, because a light's been left on, or he's adding something to his antiques collection.
He walks to the barn, but he runs coming back. You see, Dailey is afraid of the dark.
And yet, he still goes out to the barn when he has to. He calls it risk-taking. It's the same thing he says he does every time he teaches.
Who's in the barn? He doesn't know, but it's real enough to him that he doesn't go out there without grabbing some kind of stick — there are plenty — from the yard.
"They're in there," he says.
Dailey, a professor of social welfare, has been taking risks in the classroom at the University of
The class he is known for, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, is the only one he teaches to undergraduates. Some say he's offered the class since at least the 1980s; some say since 1979. Dailey thinks it's been since the mid-70s. But the date's not important.
Kansas for 35 years now. But after the spring semester, Dailey, 66, will retire.
"For me, teaching is nothing more than my choice to take risks with students about what I know, what I don't know and how I experience what I know," Dailey says. "In that experience of sharing self with other, is the experience of intimacy."
