Homecoming parade to alter bus routes
Students who ride KU on Wheels buses to get to and from campus may have to use a different bus stop tomorrow.
Buses will not run on Jayhawk Boulevard from 2:10 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. tomorrow because of the homecoming parade. Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator, said students could use three alternate sites to board or exit the buses — at 12th Street and Oread Avenue, 15th Street and Naismith Drive, and Stratford Road and West Campus Road.
"We'll try to keep pickup times as close to the usual times as we can," she said. "I'm not too worried since it's on a Friday afternoon, which is probably the least busy time."
Krebs said all routes should be back on schedule by 3:30 p.m.
Although the parade does not begin until 2:20 p.m., Krebs said KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Bus Co. wanted to allot themselves a little more time.
"Every year we plan for homecoming, and only in one year out of the past five have things gone as planned," she said.

Master's thesis exhibit of hemp fabric on display
Masses of stitched hemp fabrics fill the gallery at the Art and Design Building. They are a part of "Hupsoma" all pride that rises up," Jum-Sook Kim's master of fine arts thesis exhibit in textiles, which is on display until tomorrow. Kim, Korea graduate student, was inspired by 2 Corinthians 10:6.
The space is divided into two distinct sections. Large bundles of fabric unroll across the floor forming neat rows. Across the gallery, huge expanses of cloth drape from the ceiling gathering onto the floor.
"The horizontal section represents the earth, early nature of human beings," Kim said. "In the vertical section, I wanted to emphasize man's ambitious side that is constantly trying to overcome his imperfection by exalting himself to the position of the most high."
Kim said she wanted visitors to experience the extreme emotional contrast between the horizontal and vertical components by not only just seeing them but also by going into the spaces between the fabric and experiencing them. She said people had commented that the horizontal section resembled a typical Kansas hayfield because each roll looked like a bale of hay.
Two-dimensional representations made of jacquard woven pieces also
are displayed in the cases along the outside walls of the gallery.
Kim has worked closely with Cynthia Schira, a retired professor of design; Mary Ann Jordan, associate professor of design; Maria Velasco, assistant professor of art; and Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor of art, on the project since the autumn of 1998.

New services available for commuters,parents
University of Kansas students who are parents or commuters have new resources available to them. The Student Development Center is offering two new automated e-mail lists, one specifically for students who commute to campus and the other for students with children.
Laura Morgan, assistant director of the center, said that by getting on the lists, nontraditional students would be able to plug in and overcome the difficulty of knowing what's happening on campus.
Commuters also can use their lists to arrange for backup transportation or to find an emergency ride to campus.
"There are so many commuters now," Morgan said. "Students can do trade-offs to make the distance easier to deal with."
For students with children, childcare information is available, as well as feedback from other student-parents regarding various childcare offerings.
Pinde Fu, Beijing junior, said he and his wife had spent considerable time and hassle trying to find child care. He said they would join the e-mail list
"This information is very important, especially the opinions from other parents," he said.
Students with questions about the automated e-mail lists or about other programs for nontraditional students can contact Laura Morgan at 864-4064

City, campus departments participate in disaster drill
The KU Public Safety Office, in conjunction with 1.3 departments from the University of Kansas and the City of Lawrence held a tabletop disaster planning exercise yesterday at Memorial Stadium.
"We had every department participating in this exercise that would normally be involved in a disaster situation," said John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office
Representatives from the chancellor's office, Lawrence and Douglas County Fire and Medical, Facilities Operations and University Relations were among the groups involved in the exercise.
Mullens said that the stadium was chosen as the site because it was well protected from the elements and
had emergency generators that could be used in a disaster situation when power might not be available.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the public safety office said that the stadium would be used as the command center. Department heads or someone with the knowledge of a department would come to the stadium in crisis situations, and began accessing the situation, he said.
Mailed said that some of the incidents covered during the four-hour exercise included the gathering of crowds, shots fired and possible explosions. These were not just isolated incidents; they came in one after another and each department had to decide on what course of action should be taken, he said.

African leader begins jailing homosexuals
KAMPALE, Uganda—President Yoweri Museveni has ordered the arrests of homosexuals in Uganda saying U.N. human rights conventions do not necessarily apply to Africa, a newspaper reported.
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
"I have told the Criminal Investigation Department to look for homosexuals, lock them up and charge them," Tuesday's edition of the government-owned New Vision newspaper quoted him as saying.
Two recent and highly publicized gay marriages in Uganda appeared to prompt Museveni's remarks during a speech Monday to regional legislators meeting in the capital.
The Ugandan leader criticized the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, saying it had not been drawn up with the participation of African countries and therefore was not universal to Africa.
