BARTLES: willing to fight more
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Major Jeff Maxcy, professor of military science at the University, said typically when a soldier had suffered a severe injury, he would be medically retired. Maxcy said there were some
cases in which a soldier could convince or persuade the medical review board that he was fit for active duty.
Maxcy said a soldier needed to be able to perform certain tasks for his military occupational specialty in order for the board to consider him fully fit. Tasks include being able to drive a vehicle, carry and fire a rifle and lift equipment.
"It's definitely inspiring to see someone who's so dedicated to serving his country that he's
willing to put himself in harm's way a second time," Maxy said.
He said it was very likely that Bartles could find himself being shipped somewhere for active duty if the board did find him fully fit.
Bartles is stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C., and is taking a six-month-long Russian language course at the Special Forces Language School at Fort Bragg. He will graduate from the language school in November and will graduate from the University in December with a masters in Russian and Eastern European studies. He wants to eventually attend law school at the University.

MARKETING: New symbol could combine seal, mascot
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"You have to take risks in business," said Tara Haghnegahdar, Shawnee freshman. "It would be good to narrow it down to one symbol."
Other students said they understood the concept of a central image, but thought the variety of symbols was good for the University.
Duchess Williams, Miami senior, said both the seal and the Jayhawk represented the University.
She said she thought the University benefitted from being able to showcase its different aspects.
"The more things we can show off, the better," Williams said.
Brett Nelson said the Jayhawk was the best known symbol of the University, but the seal represented what the University was founded on and should not be completely phased out.
"It would be good if they
could incorporate them together," said Nelson, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said the new plan would benefit students.
Roney is a member of the senior marketing team.She said the new marketing plan would increase the value of a KU degree after students graduated.
"I want your investment to pay off down the road," Roney said.
She said the new marketing plan would give students a better appreciation for the University and would better equip students to tell their KU story.
University officials will hold a town hall meeting Thursday from 3:30 until 5 p.m.at the Big 12 Room on Level 5 of the Kansas Union. The meeting is open to everyone to discuss the new marketing plan.
