THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two Marines were killed when their
Hours after starting the offensive, U.S. tanks and Humvees from the 1st Infantry Division entered the northeastern Askari neighborhood, the first ground assault into an insurgent bastion.
Marines were visible on rooftops in Janol. This reporter, located at a U.S. camp near the city, saw orange explosions lighting up the district's palm trees, minarets and dusty roofs, and a fire burning on the city's edge.
Arab leaders were muted in their response to the offensive. Media attention focused on ailing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Guerrilla Girls to present women's rights message
Two women disguised as gorillas will speak out for women's rights in the film industry tonight.
The Guerilla Girls — a group that works to redefine feminism and reclaim the word "girl" — has traveled from city to city since the 1980s wearing masks in performances to protect their anonymity, according the group's Web site. The group of artists work toward gender equality in the artistic world, as well as in society.
Megan Wesley, Student Union Activities cultural arts coordinator and Hutchinson junior, said she didn't know what topic specifically the members would speak to, but said the event was a good way for both men and women to educate themselves on women's rights.
The Guerrilla Girls' lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session. The event, sponsored by Student Union Activities, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Kansas professor receives Cancer society honor, gran
A University of Kansas researcher has received the honor of being an American Cancer Society Research Professor.
Scott Hawley received the honor, one of the most prestigious by the American Cancer Society, along with a $300,000 grant. Hawley will receive the grant during a five-year period and will use it for new research. The grant will be available to Hawley starting Jan. 1, 2005.
Hawley does research on the biology of chromosomes. One of the leading causes of birth defects is errors in chromosome movement during the formation of sperm or eggs.
Hawley is a professor of molecular biosciences at the University, and an
investigator at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, Mo.
He teaches an undergraduate course in genetics on the Edwards Campus and co-teaches an advanced genetics graduate course on the Lawrence campus. Hawley's permanent office, laboratory and research group are located at the Stowers Institute. The American Cancer Society, the leading not-for-profit, nongovernment organization supporting cancer research, spends more than $100 million each year funding cancer research.
To be eligible for the honor, nominees must go through a review process. The Stowers Institute nominated Hawley for the award.
Hawley received his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of California-Riverside. He has a doctorate in genetics from the University of Washington in Seattle.
The American Cancer Society was founded in 1913 and has 14 regional divisions and local offices in 3,400 communities. For more information on the organization or volunteering, call (800) ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.
