Where were you on September 11?
From kansan.com assistant editor, Vanessa Pearson:
That's enough to make a man smile without even talking about the quality of the Division 1-AA opponent he will face Saturday.

I was in my first semester of college. An acting student interrupted our class and told us that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I called my mom after class and she shrieked into the phone. The second plane had hit. I spent the rest of my morning in the Butler Community College union watching coverage of the attacks. Little did I know, five years later, I'd be watching one of my closest friends go off to fight in a desert half the world away. Today is the last day to tell your story.

The Underground crowd grows with construction
BY KIM LYNCH
It's 12 p.m. on Tuesday, and classes will be let out in 15 minutes. People begin steadily trickling in and out through the entrance to The Underground. Inside, a few empty tables dot the mostly full dining area.
Jordan Kallas, Eden Prairie,
Minn., junior, sits outside eating a
Chick-fil-A sandwich. He said his
teacher let class out early so her
students could beat the lunch rush.
"I feel like the construction has created more traffic," Kallas said, adding that he doesn't recall until this year seeing a standing line to get into the door.
Kallas, who has been going to The Underground about once a week since his freshman year, said The Underground was definitely more crowded this year.
could be the construction going on outside. Furthermore, the outside dining area has been roped off.
Shant Thomas, marketing coordinator for KU Dining Services, said he didn't think the long lines were related to the construction though. He said the construction was just a minor inconvenience because only one door was open to The Underground at the moment.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that it was just a matter of The Underground being a popular place for students and that a lot of students went by there every day.
Although red and white construction signs dot the sidewalk of the entrance into the Underground proclaiming "We Are Still Open," students already seem to know this.

Planning commission has tie vote on second Wal-mart store
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
A Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Commission meeting to help determine the future of the Wal-Mart development plan at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Wakaura Drive ended in a stalemate at 1 a.m. Thursday after
five hours of deliberation.
The motion to approve the plan was denied with a 5-5 vote. The tie will send a recommendation for denial to the Lawrence City Commission, which will decide on the issue as early as Sept. 19.
The plan incudes a 99,840 square-foot Wal-Mart store with
a 6,100-square-foot garden center. Four surrounding businesses would take up 21,500 square feet and would be located in front of the store.
Todd Thompson, a Lawrence attorney representing Wal-Mart, said they had submitted a rezoning plan that he believed would be acceptable to everyone.

The plan would utilize only 128,000 square feet of the 154,000 square feet of space already permitted at that corner. The plan also included the new design standards that would increase the amount of green space surrounding the property.
Planning commissioners were
split over a variety of issues.
Holly Krebs, chairwoman of the planning commission and Planning Commissioner David Burress were concerned with the grocery store in the new Wal-Mart.
They argued that Sixth Street,
