Simpson: Reactions vary after acquittal
home, he embraced the driver of the Bronco, his friend A.C. Cowlings.
Continued from Page 1A.
At an emotional news conference, prosecutors shared their deep disappointment. Clark called the prosecution team members "wonderful," and told them, "Please don't let this make you lose faith in our system."
"That is the verdict, that is the jury's position, and I accept that verdict," Darden said. "I'm not bitter, and I'm not angry. I'm honored to have ...", he said, unable to complete his statement. He bowed his head and was surrounded by colleagues before he slowly walked away.
Goldman's father, Fred, thanked prosecutors and said the day his son was slain "was the worst nightmare of my life. This is the second."
"This prosecution team did not lose today. I deeply believe that this country lost today. Justice was not served. I and my family will do everything in our power to bring about the kind of change that won't allow what happened today to ever happen to another family again."
The jury of nine African-Americans, two whites and a Hispanic cleared Simpson of the June 12, 1994, murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, 35, and her 25-year-old friend. Had he been convicted, Simpson would have faced life in prison without possible parole.
Instead, Judge Lance Ito ordered him taken to the sheriff's department and released "forthwith."
"Oh God!" Ms. Simpson's friend Faye Resnick screamed. "Nicole was right.
What's next?
What the immediate future holds for O.J. Simpson following his acquittal on double-murder charges;
MORE COURT TIME — Simpson faces further legal action despite the jury's finding. Civil lawsuits have been filed by the families of victims Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

and outrageous savagery.
2. A separate wrongful death
lawsuit was filed against Simpson by Sharon Rufo.
Ronald Goldman's mother. The lawsuits can proceed despite Tuesday's not guilty verdict, and Simpson, who did not testify in the criminal trial, could be forced to take the stand in the civil cases.
WANTS CHILDREN BACK — Simpson's acquittal means he likely will ask a court to give him guardianship of his younger children, Sydney, N, and Justin, 7.

She said he was going to kill her and get away with it. He always said he was above the law."
Outside the courthouse, a throng of spectators erupted in cheers.
The curious and an army of media began arriving early yesterday, while police went on tactical alert to brace for possible trouble in the streets.
News helicopters roared outside. Barricades blocked the street. In the lobby, hundreds of people vied for the few precious seats in the courtroom. As their lottery numbers were pulled, the lucky few cheered.
Watkins stresses cancer prevention
Regular examinations could halt the disease
By Joann Birk Kansan staff writer
The message is clear: Knowing about your body can save your life.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Doctors and health educators at Watkins Memorial Health Center want KU students to know that education is the first step in prevention.
According to the National Cancer Institute, only one in 20,000 women will get breast cancer by age 25, but doctors insist that this is not an excuse for college-age women to ignore the disease.
"Nine out of 10 lumps are found by women themselves," said Candyce Waitley, a nurse and health educator at Watkins. "If you do not know how your breasts feel, then you won't be able to notice a lump."
Waitley said women usually would receive instruction on breast self-examination if they have their annual pap smear exam. Watkins' health education department is providing presentations on breast and testicular exams throughout the month.
Testicular cancer, although not as common as breast cancer, is the most common form of cancer in college-age men, Waitley said.
Breast cancer awareness
One in 20,000 women will get breast cancer by age 25.
The month of October has been designated Breast Cancer awareness month.
One in 2,500 women will be diagnosed by the age of 30.
One in 220 women will be diagnosed by the age of 40.
One in 50. Women will be neglected by the age of 80.
Breast cancer hits one out of every nine American women.
- There are 100,000 new cases each year.
- Breast cancer causes more deaths than any other form of cancer from age 15 onward.
Breast cancer has a 98 percent cure rate if diagnosed early.
Henry Buck, a gynecologist at Watkins, said that by age 20, KU students should be performing breast and testicular self-examinations monthly. But he stressed that college-age women should not be frightened into getting a mammogram even if they are in a high risk group. Mammograms are not recommended until a woman is in her late 30s, partly because the technology tends to be inaccurate for younger women, Buck said.

There are a number of factors that place women in the high risk group for breast cancer. While they may be frightening, Buck said they provide prevention guidelines for students.
Obesity, alcohol consumption and a high fat diet have all been cited as strong behavioral risk factors by the American College Health Association. Students who have a mother or sister with breast cancer also have a higher risk than most women.
Smoking has not been proven to have a direct link with breast cancer, but the American Cancer Society reported that women smokers had a 25 percent greater chance of dying from breast cancer. The relationship between oral contraceptives and breast cancer also has been studied, but Buck said that there was no concrete evidence that women who used oral contraceptives were at a greater risk of breast cancer.
Even if all the possible risk behaviors are avoided, breast cancer can not be prevented completely, so early detection through self-examination remains the most effective way to survive the disease.
"Cure rates are directly related to the number of cancerous cells." Buck said. "Like any kind of cancer, the earlier the detection the better."
Journalism dean wins Knight fellowship
An international fellowship program will send Mike Kautsch, dean of journalism, to Costa Rica next summer.
By Novelada Sommers Kansan staff writer
for June and July.
Kautsch and seven other journalists and media managers were awarded Knight International Fellowships to complete assignments on four continents. Kautsch was the only University of Kansas administrator chosen.
He will complete work on an exchange pro gr am between journalism students and faculty at the University of Costa Rica and the University
The Center for Foreign Journalists administers the fellowship. It will pay for Kautsch's living expenses in San Juan, Costa Rica, for the length of his stay. Kautsch's assignment is
of Kansas. Journalism faculty and staff members of the offices of study abroad from both universities started work on the exchange program early in 1994.
Mike Kautsch
"I think we need programs of this
kind because students and faculty benefit from international studies," Kautsch said.
Kautsch will work with faculty and administrators at the University of Costa Rica to determine specifics of the exchange program..
Once the program is complete, groups of students and faculty from KU's school of journalism will trade places with their counterparts at the University of Costa Rica.
The fellowship was started in 1993 with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and has sent 44 journalists to 37 countries.
Other destinations for the Knight Fellows include Indonesia, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Bolivia.
