Blood supply in the red
BY Tess Montaño

SPECIAL TO THE KANSAI
Nadine Cosmo draws blood from Debra Olberding, Seneca freshman,yesterday afternoon in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The Community Blood Center sponsored the event.
The appeal went out across the airwaves and TV screens throughout northeastern Kansas in late August. "We had to explain how dire the need was," said Kathy Belanger, recruiter for the Community Blood Center in Lawrence.
"Then people just started to come in."

The center had a blood shortage and more than 800 donors answered the request.
Belanger said the center would put out another emergency call for blood donations if donations do not increase. Donations are at an all-time low, and the shortage in Lawrence is part of a

Korean War Memorial to honor 64

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Forgotten KU soldiers who died in the 1950 Korean War are finally on the verge of recognition. The University of Kansas' Korean War Memorial is nearly finished.
- "The goal is to be done by the middle of October, and we should make that all light," Warren Corman, University architect, said.
A hammered copper and brass sixfoot Korean crane sculpture will also be added, closer to the dedication in April
Corman said the main construction left was the ornamental iron railings that would go between the two brick pillars. The railings are scheduled to be delivered in the next two or three weeks.
He said plaques for the Memorial were being made in Kansas City, Mo., and would be installed in the next few weeks. One plaque will explain the 1950 Korean War and the other will list 64 names — 63 of KU alumni, students and faculty who died and one of an alumnus who was missing in action.
2005. Jon Havener, professor of design, will design the sculpture, which will depict three or four birds — Korean cranes — aligning together and looking up at the sky, Corman said.
The Korean War Memorial is located above Potter Lake along Memorial Drive, west of the Campanile. The University's other war memorials include the Kansas Memorial Union, Memorial Stadium for World War I, the Campanile for World War II and the Vietnam Memorial, north of the Chi Omega fountain at the intersection of West Campus Road and Memorial Drive.

Scarffe said the project got rolling when Yong L. Kim, Leawood resident, donated $30,000 in June 2003. He said final funding was secured by a $50,000 donation from the International Communication Foundation of Seoul, South Korea in April 2004. Jong Woo Han, chairman of the board of the Sungkok Journalism Foundation in Seoul, was instrumental in arranging the ICF's donation.

The concept of a Korean War Memorial is not new to the University.
A total of $120,000 was raised to
build the memorial. Apart from the donations by Kim and the ICF, several other sources have funded the project. The KU Korean Association, an alumni chapter in Seoul, gave $10,000 and five South Korean corporations combined to contribute $15,000.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" tailgating fundraising promotion at KU home football games has gone to the Korean Memorial Fund, said Todd Cohen, associate director for University Relations. As of last fall, $2,481 has been given to the Korean War Memorial Fund over the last three years, Cohen said.

Kobach coming to Wescoe

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kris Kobach is scheduled to speak to students tomorrow on Wescoe Beach about issues concerning them as a part of Civic Literacy Week.
Kobach is the Republican challenger to Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) for the 3rd District U.S. House Seat in Kansas.
He will be on Wescoe Beach from 11 a.m. to noon tomorrow, said Katie Wolff Shawnee senior and chairwoman of the Student Legislative Awareness Board.

Wolff said Kobach's appearance was a part of a series of national political candidates appearing on campus this week to promote civic involvement on the collegiate level.
"There are a lot of implications for students in the races: financial, economic and social as well," Wolff said.
"Especially with federal officers, there's a mystique surrounding them," she said. "Inviting the candidates themselves helps students realize that they're normal people doing the best they can."
Second District Democratic challenger for U.S. House Nancy Boyda was on campus Monday.
She said the 2nd and 3rd District races for U.S. House would provide two distinct options for students.
Moore and U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kansas) had to back out because of their duties in Washington, Wolff said.
Todd Abrajano, campaign manager for the Kobach campaign, said Kobach's message would resonate well with students.
"Kris' message is one of opportunity for the future," he said.
He said Kobach would focus on

Gary Hart to speak, watch debate today in Lied
Former U.S. Senator and two-time presidential candidate Gary Hart is scheduled to speak at the Lied Center tonight and answer questions after the first presidential debate.
Hart will give a speech, Security in the New Age of the 21st Century, at the Lied Center at 7 p.m., followed by a viewing of the first presidential debate.
Hart's focus on national security would be a good complement to the presidential debate, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities.
"When we first invited him, we had no idea the first presidential debate would fall on the same night," Bailey said. "It's actually added to his visit. The coincidence is quite nice."
