Is it legal to fish at Potter Lake?
Yes, but you still have to follow state fishing laws, which basically means having a valid fishing permit. The pond has bluegill, catfish, bass and goldfish. However, we would not recommend eating the fish from Potter Lake. At its largest, it was 18 feet deep and covered 2 acres, and originally used for swimming and regatta boat races.
Local soldiers face charges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Fort Riley officials were searching for answers yesterday after two soldiers deployed in Iraq were charged with murdering three Iraqis. They were the second pair of soldiers from a unit based at the post to face murder charges in as many weeks.
The U.S. Central Command said Sgt. Michael P. Williams and Spc. Brent W. May have been charged with premeditated murder. Williams also was

Sorority hosts candle passing for suicide prevention tonight
CAMPUS
Last year, the Alpha Delta Pi sorority decided it wanted to get involved with the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, a program for teenage suicide awareness and prevention.
"We want to show that there are people out there who care," said Christy Massucci, Wichita junior and president of Alpha Delta Pi.
The sorority will hand out yellow ribbons pinned to informational cards all week and have a candle passing at 7:30 p.m. today in front of the Campanile. The cards read "It's OK to Ask 4 Help!" and list the Hopeline Network's phone number, 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433).
The Yellow Ribbon Campaign began in 1994 after a Westminster, Colo., teenager, Mike Meme, committed suicide. Emme's parents founded the campaign to let depressed people know there is help for them.
Dale and Dar Emme found a note that read "Don't blame yourselves, Mom and Dad. I love you." The note was signed 11:45 p.m., seven minutes before they pulled into their driveway,

Emme shot himself because he didn't know how to tell someone he had a problem and needed help.
Students should not be alone in times of crisis, said John Wade, licensed psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services.
CAPS, located in the Watkins Health Center, offers help to students suffering from disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression. Counselors can be reached at 864-2277.
"If they're considering suicide at any level, what's essential is that they talk to somebody," Wade said.
Wade said if students were having trouble resisting the impulse to hurt themselves, they should go to the E.R. — Austin Castle

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Bush is living in a make-
Kerry criticizes Bush on Iraq, savs the president misleads
believe world in his understanding of Iraq, misleading the American people and attacking Democrats on phony issues, presidential rival John Kerry said yesterday in an interview with The Associated Press.
"Even today, he blundered again saying there are only a handful of terrorists in Iraq." Kerry said in a brief interview. "George Bush retreated from Fallujah and other communities in Iraq which are now overrun with terrorists and threaten our troops."
Bush, campaigning in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, said, "It's hard to help a country go from tyranny to elections to peace when there are a handful of people who are willing to kill in order to stop the process."
Bush said the insurgents "use the only tool at their disposal, which is beheadings and death, to try to shake our will. They understand the nature of America. ... We weep when we think about the families affected by those who have been brutalized by these terrorists."
Kerry said that in criticizing his statements on Iraq, Bush was "living in a make-believe world," unwilling to tell the truth or to understand the situation in Iraq.

Singer removed from plane, on government's 'no-fly' list
WASHINGTON — Singer Cat Stevens, taken off a London-to-Washington flight because his name showed up on a government "nofly" list, has no ties to suspected terrorists, his brother said Wednesday.
Stevens, who converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, recently made the watch list after U.S. authorities received information from multiple sources indicating he may have associations with potential terrorists, a government official said.
United Airlines Flight 919 was diverted to Bangor, Maine, on Tuesday afternoon after U.S. officials who checked the passenger list learned that the singer was aboard. Federal agents met the plane and interviewed Islam.
Islam's brother and business manager, David Gordon, said in a telephone interview that he could guarantee that Islam does not associate with possible terrorists.
"It's not true." Gordon said. "His only work, his only mind-set, is humanitarian causes. He just wants to be an ambassador for peace."
