Forum to advocate teaching evolution in public education
Jack Krebs is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a forum promoting the value of evolution in science standards at 7:30 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. Krebs is a member of the state science standards review committee and a high school science teacher.
Hume Feldman, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said it was important for the state to take a stand in favor of teaching evolution, geology and cosmology in K-12 education.
Feldman thought it was important to not use the Bible as a text for scientific knowledge.
"We have to take a stand and say this is not science, it's a myth," he said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will make the opening remarks at the event tomorrow, which is sponsored by the department of physics and astronomy, the department of chemistry, the department of geology, the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, the department of molecular biosciences, the division of biological sciences, the Center for Science Education, the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center and the office of the chancellor.

The war in Iraq is the number one issue in this year's election for Michael Berry, Lawrence junior. Berry is in the reserves. He said that he enlisted to get financial aid to go to college.
Sorority, fraternity to host open debate on the election
"I needed help to pay tuition," Berry
said, "I can't afford it."
Social and state issues, such as education and the economy, are also on Berry's list of concerns.
"It's election year and a lot of people need to be politically informed," Berry said.
This is why the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma and sorority Zeta Phi Beta are hosting a debate on election 2004 said Berry, Phi Beta Sigma member.
The debate will be between KU Young Democrats and KU College Republicans at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Courtside Room in the Burge Union, 1601 Irving Hill Road. Questions will be prepared by the executive board of Zeta Phi Beta, but there will be time for the audience to ask questions as well. Each group debating will have three members.
The first group will get two minutes to answer the question, then there will be a one minute rebuttal and 30 seconds for a second rebuttal. Students can register to vote after the debate. The hosts hope that everyone will feel welcome to come.
Every year the Zeta Phi Beta sorority does helps students on politics, said Candace Haines. St. Louis senior and president of National Pan-Hellenic Council, the governmental board of some multicultural fraternities and sororities. This is the sorority's first debate. Haines said.
"We want a diverse audience at this debate." Berry said.
"It is important to have this debate because some people on campus don't know what is going on in politics or just choose based on their parents' opinions," Haines said.
"It is important for people to stay informed and know that your vote counts," Halnes said.

U.S.troops work for control of Baghdad neighborhood
WORLD
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Six months after Sadr城 erupted in rebellion, U.S. forces are launching a renewed campaign to wrest control of the vast Baghdad neighborhood from radical Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's forces.
"We're going fishing tonight," said one major yesterday as a column of U.S. tanks and Humvees crept up dimly lit, trash-strewn streets into one of Iraq's most tenacious bastions of insurgency.

Above the seething slum of 2 million people unmanned aircraft known as Predators are spotting for the "fish."
Down below, perhaps on rooftops or up dark alleys near the U.S. force, Maj. Hugh McGloin suspects young men with mobile telephones are watching and warning their fellow insurgents ahead of the column. Surprise is difficult in Sadr City, says the battalion operations officer with the 1st Cavalry Division.
The gun-mounted Humvees draw up expectantly in a semicircle. The Predators have sounded an alarm. An AC-130 gunship sails high overhead. Then it unleashes torents of machine gun fire, sounding like a pneumatic drill juddering through the sky.
