Martin, who suffered from Parkinson's disease for years, died of natural causes Wednesday at his home in Commerce, said longtime friend and collaborator Michael Sampson.
"Bill had a positive outlook on life. Everything that happened to him, he saw some good in it somehow. He was someone

First exchange agreement with military signed Friday
The University of Kansas will aid the nation's homeland security with an agreement signed Friday, Aug. 13
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Fort Leavenworth's Lt. Gen. William S. Wallace signed the first formal exchange agreement between the University and a military institution at Spencer Research Library Friday.
The University has dozens of student and faculty exchanges with foreign universities.
The agreement will help strengthen training for civilian and military leaders.
The goal of the agreement is to identify leaders, share data and create a joint executive community between students, faculty and the military.
The negotiation committee for the new Multicultural Resource Center is in its final processes of selecting an architect for the project, according to Richard Johnson, dean of students.
"We didn't do as good of a job preparing leaders about cultural awareness — something KU can help us with," said Maj. David Connolly.

Cameras trigger debate
In September 2001, Texas became the first state to pass a law regulating the use of video cameras in nursing homes. While other states do not prohibit putting cameras in residents' rooms, supporters want any potential gray areas cleared up by setting specific regulations.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Video cameras in nursing homes protect the elderly, supporters say, but some consider them an invasion of privacy.
At Champaign County Nursing Home in Urbana, Ill., Courtney Wendell, admissions marketing coordinator, said she had not had to deal with the issue.

the issue.
"We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it," she said. "But I would not encourage it."

Supporters of camera usage in nursing homes say residents, not nursing home employees, hold the right to have cameras installed in their rooms.
Wendell said she would be against it because it would raise privacy issues for residents and staff.
"This is my home, isn't it?" said Linda Aschenbrenner, Champaign County Nursing Home resident.
Aschenbrenner said she thought residents should have the choice of having video cameras in their rooms, as long as the residents could also have the choice of when they wanted the camera on and off.
Kalah McGraw, Champaign County Nursing Home volunteer coordinator, agrees with Aschenbrenner.
Aschenbrenner said she would feel safer if a camera were watching her belongings when she was out of her room. She said she had never felt physically threatened as a resident at the nursing home.
"It would benefit residents who cannot verbalize if something happens to them," McGraw said. "Residents should be able to choose."
This feeling seems to be the general consensus at Champaign County Nursing Home.
Mary Millican, a 94-year-old resident, said she felt safe at the home and does not see a need for video surveillance in her room.
"It should be an option, though, I sunpose." Millican said.
"I believe you can tape as long as you don't have any audio," said John Piland, Champaign County state's attorney.
People who are against video camera use in nursing homes often cite privacy concerns.
But the debate always returns to the issue of privacy.
issue of privacy.
Fred Paisley, 61-year-old Champaign County Nursing Home resident for the past six years, said he feels safe at the home and disagrees with video surveillance in nursing homes.
Paisley said. "Once you start doing something like that, there are all sorts of potential legal ramifications that are off-the-wall for everybody."
