ACLU will show film with evolution theme
The University of Kansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union will tackle another hot-button issue this fall, showing the evolution-themed film, Inherit the Wind, the week of Nov. 28.
On Wednesday, KU ACLU will request $330 from Student Senate to fund the screening of the 1960 movie. Film rental would be $250 and $80 would be allocated for advertising.
Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized retelling of the 1925 trial in which a Tennessee school teacher, John Scopes, was charged with breaking state law by teaching evolution as a theory.
J. D. Jenkins, advocacy chair for the KU ACU and senior holdover senator, submitted the bill requesting funds along with student senators, Aravind Muthukishran, Katie Bartkoski and Erin Simpson.
Even if Senate refuses to give the KU ACLU funding, the show will go on.
The film will be shown at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. A specific date has not yet been set. State refugees to receive
"It'll be shown one way or another," said Buddy Lloyd, KU ALCU media director.

Committee concluding search for new dean
After a search spanning two academic years, administrators are in the final stages of selecting a new dean of fine arts.
The dean of fine arts search committee will make a decision this evening on whom to recommend for the job and forward that decision to Provost David Shulenburger, said John Gaunt, dean of architecture and search committee chair.
That follows interviews last week with the two finalists, Carole Ross, interim dean of fine arts, and Toni-Marie Montgomery, director of the school of music at Arizona State University.
Gaunt said both had separate interviews with the search committee and with fine arts faculty and students last week.
In her interview with faculty on Thursday, Montgomery said she had already told Arizona State officials that she would leave the school after this academic year
Gaunt said the committee had several options in its recommendation to the provost. The committee can recommend
both of the candidates, one of the candidates or neither of the candidates.
Shulenburger will ultimately choose who will get the job, he said.
Shulenburger was unavailable for comment Friday about when he might make his choice.

Gaunt said he was hopeful that this would be the end of a long search that failed to install a dean last spring.
Library celebrates anniversary, new dean
Around this time in 1924, Watson Library first opened its doors to University of Kansas students.
On Saturday, the library opened its doors to students and alumni to honor the library's 75th birthday and to recognize Keith Russell, new dean of libraries.
Mary Rosenbloom, Watson external relations representative, said the main goal of the open house was to recognize the library's anniversary and recreate a sense of what it was like at the first open house 75 years ago.
"We want to have a happy time, a fun time, and recognize the staff," she said. "I think it's really, really wonderful that the library is having this."

Sorority to collect clothes for local charity
Zeta Beta Beta sorority members will collect used clothes on campus today through Friday and will donate to area charities.
Drop-off boxes will be located at all Daisy Hill residence halls as well as at several fraternity and sorority houses during the week.
Jocelyn Grant, St. Louis, Mo., senior and Zeta Phi Beta member, said the sorority would give the clothing to Women's Transitional Care Services and to the Hannah's House Foundation.
"We figured this would be the best time to do it while making the transition from summer into winter," Grant said. "It doesn't make sense for people just to throw their unwanted clothing away."

Campanile chimes to be replaced today
Albert Gerken, University carillonle and professor of music, said a clapper in the carillon snapped sometime this weekend. As a result, one of the bells could not be played.
The chimes from the University of Kansas Memorial Campanile had a few missing notes this weekend.
Gerken said that he would replace the clapper and that he hoped to have all the bells playing again sometime today.
Gerken has been playing the carillon since 1963. The bells last went silent in the fall of 1993, and returned in 1996 after a hiatus of two and a half years. The carillon undewent a $450,000 renovation after the University's Campaign Kansas fund drive, from 1988 to 1992.

Officer to face charges after crash with cyclist
Micah Stegall, an off-duty Lawrence police officer involved in an alcohol-related accident in August, faces pending criminal and civil charges.
Bicyclist Steve Mitchell, 22, was struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by Stegall on the evening of Aug. 14. Stegall was traveling south on Vermont Street when he turned left onto Eighth Street and swerved onto the southern sidewalk, colliding with Mitchell.
Stegall answered a probable cause warrant Friday. He was booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges of battery and driving while intoxicated. He was released later that evening on his own recognition, according to the Douglas County Jail.
Mitchell was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital the night of the accident. He later underwent plastic surgery for damage to his thumb.
"I went light," he said. "I'm not trying to screw him out of anything." Stegall's first court appearance is scheduled at 3 p.m. Oct. 14.
Following the accident, Stegall was placed on administrative leave from the Lawrence Police Department.
Mitchell said he planned on taking civil action but could not remember what the exact charges were.
