"SHREK THE THIRD" IS NOT FAR, FAR AWAY
There's no doubt that you are aware of the green gentle giant Shrek. But if you have not seen the summer sensation "Shrek the Third," you probably don't know how intelligent fair princesses really are. In "Shrek the Third," the famous five divas, Princess Fiona, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella go on a rampage to prove to the world that fairy-tale princesses are not just about pretty faces and luxurious castles, but that they've also got brains and brawn. In addition, Justin Timberlake returns to the big screen as the voice of Artie. Meanwhile, Donkey competes for Shrek's attention with Puss in
Boots, the dashing, swashbuckling cat voiced by Antonio Banderas. An opportunity to get a taste of this summer treat before it hits the stores is not Far, Far Away because "Shrek the Third" is Student Union Activities' feature film this weekend. The film will play at 8 p.m. today and Saturday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Detective fired for eating
wife's marijana meathalls
NEW YORK — So much for the meatball defense.
A veteran counterterrorism detective's claims that he flunked a drug test because his wife served him marijuana-spiked meatballs "simply weren't credible," and he has been fired by the New York Police Department, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Thursday.
With the dismissal, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly rejected an earlier recommendation by an administrative judge that the detective, Anthony Chiofalo, be reinstated. Kelly has final say on firings.
An attorney for Chiofalo did not
immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment.
Chiofalo, a 22-year-veteran assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, was suspended without pay in 2005 after a random drug test found marijuana in his system. The officer denied ever using drugs and demanded a hearing.
During an investigation, his wife said she had secretly substituted marijuana for oregano in her meatball recipe in hopes of forcing him to leave police work.
The detective's lawyers presented evidence that she had passed a lie-detector test, and offered testimony from a toxicologist that the excuse was valid.
Witch accused of throwing
racoon parts at businesses SALEM, Mass. — A self-proclaimed high priestess of Salem witches and a second person were accused of tossing racoon parts on the doorsteps of businesses, allegedly as part of a Wiccan community feud.
Sharon Graham, 46, and a fellow Wiccan, Frederick Purtz, 22, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of littering and malicious destruction of property. Graham also was charged with intimidating a witness.
They were accused of putting a raccoon head and entrails on the doorsteps of Angelica of the Angels and the Goddess' Treasure Chest in May.

David Gavegnano, a lawyer for Graham, and Sean Wynne, a lawyer for Purtz, both denied that their clients had anything to do with the incident. They also argued that at any rate, the malicious destruction charge wasn't valid because the storefronts weren't permanently damaged.
A witness, Richard Watson, told police he accompanied Graham, Purtz and other people when they put the raccoon remains on the doorsteps. He said Graham hoped to frame a Wiccan businessman who had fired Graham from a psychic telephone business last spring.
