Mocktrial team looking for members, holding auditions
If KU students have an interest in public speaking and law, then they can try out today for the University of Kansas Mock Trial team. The team, which consists of six to eight members, carries out the proceedings of a full trial, but within the time constraint of three hours.
The team has been ranked in the top 20 in the nation for the last few years.
Tryouts consist of two parts with potential members speaking about a topic of their choice for five minutes. After their speech, an officers' panel will ask random questions to see how well they can talk on their feet.
Tryouts begin today in Room 203 of Green Hall, the KU Law School. Contact Ryan Faulconer, president of the Mock Trial team, any time at (719) 661-0819, if interested.
Faulconer said he is willing to expand tryouts if there are no times still available.
Faulconer, who has been on the team
since his freshman year, said he thought people might want to join the team because it's competitive and represents the University well. Faulconer said people from all types of backgrounds are welcome to tryout for the team.
Faulconer said the tryouts were simply a way to decide who would travel to the competitions, but everyone is encouraged to tryout. Even if a person doesn't travel with the team, Faulconer said, they are still encouraged to participate.

Kerry links economy to war, says Bush made bad choice
WASHINGTON — Democrat John Kerry sought to link the Iraq war to U.S. economic woes yesterday, calling President Bush's move against Baghdad a "catastrophic choice" that so far has drained $200 billion in needed resources at home.
At the same time, Democrats intensified their criticism of Vice President Dick Cheney for suggesting a Kerry victory in the election could provoke another terrorist attack on the United States. "It's wrong and it's un-American," said Kerry running mate John Edwards.
The Democrats were trying to turn the tables and subject Bush to the same kind of scrutiny and criticism that Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran, has come under.
Democrats raised fresh questions about his Vietnam-era Air National Guard service, suggesting newly released documents show he shirked his duty.
Before leaving the White House, Bush signed a bill allocating the emergency infusion of $2 billion, rushed through the Republican-controlled Congress the night before.
