Better Bites removing inaccurate stickers
BY AMANDA O'TOLE

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A red-and-white striped bag of TG1 Friday's Potato Skins sat in slot B3 of the vending machine on the third floor of Fraser Hall. The 50 cent bag of chips was labeled with the Better Bites logo, a small green stick figure with a heart torso.
That's one of the reasons why Daisy Deknight, Lawrence
senior, chose the chips for her pre-class snack last week. She said she tried to stay away from sugars and fats as much as possible and she usually used the University's Better Bites program to aid her vending-machine decisions.
The stickers hadn't been updated yet this fall. Deknight's healthy snack wasn't that healthy. It contained 80 calories of fat, 53 percent of the 150 total calories. One bag had nine grams of fat and one-and-a-half grams of saturated fat.
Ann Chapman, Better Bites coordinator and student health services administrator, said new labels were in the process of being loaded. All machines should have the proper tags within the next week. Until then, students will have to go beyond looking for the green sticker to make a healthier decision.

There's just one problem.
Better Bites is a program that was implemented to help students make healthier eating decisions. Labels appeared in vending machines two years ago, Chapman said. She said she felt the program had been effective despite problems of mislabeling.
"They have not been put into the machines this semester," Chapman said. "The stocker must have started to put things anywhere there were holes."
That's what Chapman said probably happened with the chips Deknight had purchased last week.

Chapman said the labels are partly to blame for the delay in re-labeling food products. The tags used in the past were just like stickers, which would sometimes be knocked around by falling food.
Other snack foods that were mislabeled last week were Almond Joy, Mac's Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds, TGI Friday's Potato Skins and Butterfingers.
H.O.P.E. awarded
Stephen Ilardi wins award voted on by University seniors

Educator (H.O.P.E.) Award.
The University of Kansas senior class made its choice Saturday when Stephen Ilardi was awarded the 2004 Honor for an Outstanding Progressive
The University's Board of Class Officers presented the award to Ilardi, associate professor of psychology, in between the third and fourth quarters of the KU-Texas football game. Ilardi received a $300 prize and his name was added to the H.O.P.E. Award plaque in the Kansas Union.
Given annually for more than 45 years, the H.O.P.E. Award remains the only award at the University decided exclusively by students.
Because the recipient is decided on
by students, Iardi said it is the most meaningful award he has received.
"It is a validation of the fact that, when a professor follows their passion, students respond to that," he said. "It's something I will cherish forever."
Students taking tardi's abnormal psychology class said he was an exceptional teacher because of his ability to connect them to the psychological realm.

Fieldhouse still without wireless
Miscommunication delays Internet access for basketball campers

Devoted KU students who regularly camp out before men's basketball games were supposed to have wireless Internet access at their camp sites in Allen Fieldhouse by now. Installation has been delayed, however, because of miscommunication between Student Senate, Information Services and the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation.
"Somewhere the ball got dropped," said Arthur Jones, Student Executive Committee chair.
The idea for wireless Internet access in Allen Fieldhouse was an attempt to help the campers with laptops and personal digital assistants (PDAs) who camp out during their two- to three-hour shifts for up to a week before game days.
Student Senate funded a bill to install wireless Internet in the fieldhouse by Nov. 1, before the first basketball game, an exhibition against Emporia State on Nov. 7.
The Senate bill allocated $45,000 on Sept. 15 to pay for wireless installation in student areas.
Besides the fieldhouse, other designated areas included: Wescoe Beach, auditorium and the third and fourth floors of Wescoe Hall, the lawn of Fraser Hall, Budig Hall's auditorium and hallwalls and Snow Hall's main entrance.
All of the areas now have wireless Internet except the fieldhouse.
"From our end, we paid for it," Jones, Dallas junior, said. "I assumed athletics was on board with this."
When Jones realized after Nov. 1 that wireless Internet had not been installed in the fieldhouse, he met with the Athletic Department and Networking
This is the most frustrating process I've ever done in my entire life. I care about this. I camp out. I want this to happen."

and Telecommunications Services to discuss the possibility of installation.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said that his understanding was that the installation costs had been funded, but the annual upkeep fee was not.
"We told them that wasn't in our budget," Marchiony said. "Students need to work out the funding. If they couldn't find the funding, we told them to come back and see us."
Marchiony said when the funding for the wireless Internet was established, the wireless Internet would be installed immediately, though he didn't have an estimate of when installation would take place.
jones said he was making phone calls everyday to keep communication open with the Athletic Department.
"This is the most frustrating process I've ever done in my entire life." Jones said. "I care about this. I camp out. I want this to happen."
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for Information Services, said once negotiations between Student Senate and the KUAC were decided and Information Services receives the order to install wireless Internet in the fieldhouse's public areas, "we will do so as quickly as technically possible."
Goodyear said Information Services was the service provider and was not responsible for any negotiations.

KU Hillel observes Shabbat

Elizabeth Stopsky was one of many either playing gin or milling around before dinner at KU Hillel's Shabbat 300 Friday night. Also like many, the St. Louis senior was a first-time attendee at the event.
"I never came before, but this is my last semester," she said. "I just wanted to be a part of it."
people as possible to celebrate Shabbat, a weekly Jewish tradition.
This year, Hillel got around 400 students and Lawrence community members to celebrate the occasion in the Kansas Union last Friday, surpassing its goal of 300 people.
Shabbat marks the day God rested when creating the world. The rest period lasts from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, and Orthodox Jews observe Shabbat by not using cars or electricity and resting.
The annual event recruits as many
However, many students are not
Orthodox, so they concentrate on remembering Shabbat rather than observing it. Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel, said those are the two things people are called to do.
He said the event, which featured a Shabbat service and a dinner afterwards, was a sign of Hillel's strength on campus.
"I'm an alum, and we never could have dreamed of something like this," Lewis, a 1993 KU graduate, said.
