Fire storm rages through Oakland neighborhoods
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. - A wind-driven brush fire exploded into a fire storm yesterday as it roared through neighborhood in the hills above Oakland, engulfing hundreds of homes and killing 10 people, authorities said.
Residents ran into streets, clutching their belongings. Gusts whipped flames as high as 100 feet through dry brush and thick smoke blocked out the sun. Some people drove to safety because of the debris debriefed and lined with burning trees.
The fire moved quickly from street to street, then hillside to hillside, making a deafening roar as it charmed neighborhoods. Many residents said they only had time to grab photos and documents.
"The trees were exploding. It looked like the Fourth of July. I think we lost everything. I think it all gone," said Steve Hichner, who fled with his wife
"It is a terrible disaster," Gov. Pete Wilson said as he toured the seey day. Wilson declared a st stand, and placed the Ni Guard on alert.

Four women file complaints
By Rochelle Olson Kansan staff writers
Four women approached the American Civil Liberties Union earlier this semester and said that they had been sexually harassed by law school faculty members, the ACLU announced Friday.
The women, two current and two former KU law students, were unhappy about how complaints they filed earlier this year were handled by the University of Kansas, said Cooperate cooperating attorney for the ACU.
Since mid-September, the ACLU has investigated the complaints and how KU has handled them, accorded to a statement released Friday by the ACLU.
Throughout the summer and fall, students have said they have heard rumors of sexual harassment charges at the law school. But grievances filed with the University are confidential.
University grievance procedures state that unless cases are appealed,

Live from Lawrence, it's KU's top 10 forms of entertainment
Special to the Kansan
By Amy Shepek and Kim Glidewell
Specialist in Kansas
Students at the University of Kansas enjoy a variety of activities on weekends and weekdays.
A random survey of students revealed the top 10 forms of entertainment.
Students enjoy going out to eat for several reasons. Cooking at home is often time-consuming, and some students do not know how to cook. Many restaurants provide a social atmosphere that attracts students. Two popular restaurants in Lawrence are Dos Sontres, 815 New St., and Molly McGees, 2429 Iowa St.
Exercise plays a big role in students' lives. We join health clubs to do aerobics and lift weights. Others walk, jog, or
bike. Competitive sports such as football, tennis and volleyball are popular as well.
Another favorite activity of students is going to the movie theater. This is especially popular for people on a date. The three theaters in Lawrence are Hillcrest, Ninth and Iowa streets; Dickinson, 2339 Iowa St.; and Cinema Twin, 31st and Iowa streets. Dickinson offers a $1 discount to students with a KUID.
Because of the convenience, many students enjoy watching TV and renting videos. Renting movies is cheap, and students think watching movies in their own home is more comfortable than in a theater. Dillon Stores, on 23rd, Massachusetts or 6th streets, and Blockboard Video, 1516 W. 23rd St., are widely used video-rental stores.
Whether it's for clothes, bikes or CDs, shopping always will be popular among students. Downtown Lawrence, along with Kansas City's Plaza and Oak Park Mall, are favorites among students.
It is no surprise that many KU students enjoy the atmosphere provided by bars and parties. Some popular bars are Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., Bull Winkles, 1344 Tennessee St., The Wagon Wheel Cafe (also known as the wheel), 507 W. 14th st., Benchwarmer's, 1601 W. 23rd St. Some students enjoy traveling to Kansas City, Mo., and visiting the Westport area.
Greek and non-greek parties are popular among students. Many enjoy having parties or small get-together in their own apartments.
Going to concerts and listening to live bands are two more forms of entertainment that students enjoy. Many travel to Sandstone theater in Bonner Springs and Kemper Area in Kansas City, Mo., to see performers, while others enjoy going to the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., and the Jazzhats. 926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
KU students support their school by attending various sporting events. Football and basketball games have the greatest attendance, and are supported with much enthusiasm.
Many students enjoy traveling to other schools for weekend road trips. Road trips are popular with students, whether it is a trip home for the weekend or a short jaunt to Kansas City or other neighboring towns.
