KU club mourns death of respected author Dr. Seuss
By Stephanie Patrick
Dr. Seuss, every child's favorite doctor who inflicted laughter instead of pain, died Tuesday night at this home in Washington, Dr. Seuss, 87, had been ill for several months.
Kansan staff writer
The writer, whose real name was Theodor Seus Geisel, was best known for his books "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham."
In 1894, he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his contributions to children's literature.
For members of the KU Dr. Seuss
the loss of a special-
claimed hero
The club was started by Doug Hesse, Ballwin, Mo., senior, and David Burgett, Overland Park junior. They shared a love of Dr. Seuss' literature and wanted to meet others who shared their interest.
Burgett, the club's vice president,
said he heard about the death from faintness.
"I was upset of course," said Burgett referring to Seuss' death. "I was hoping to meet him one day."
Doug Hesse, club president, said club members already had discussed the possibility of a memorial ceremony at Wescoe Hall on Oct. 1.
"We would just dedicate the reading that day to Dr. Seuss," he said.
"I've had several people call me, and they have expressed interest in doing something." Burgett said.
No plans had been made as of yesterday.
Hesse said the club wrote to Seuss a few weeks ago.

The club also asked for Seuss' permission to use his characters on T-shirts that would be sold to help preserve the cause of Dr. Seuss books for libraries.
Until then, the club will have to be content with the letter Seuss wrote last year endorsing the club.
Hesse framed the letter, and he brings it to every meeting.
Hesse said he hoped Seuss had responded to the letter before he died.
In the letter, Seuss wrote, "This is to certify, endorse, authenticate, officialize and jubilate the felicitous foundation of the Dr. Seuss Club of Kansas University and to assure you that I will be highly honored to be with you in spirit and wherever you choose to convocate!"
The Associated Press contributed information to this story.
Best-selling artist and author Dr. Seuss made learning to read fun by replacing boring primers with rhyming stories about fantastic animals. His 47 books sold 200 million copies in 20 languages.

U.S. takes strong stand on Croatian conflict
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — The Bush administration charged Yugoslavia's military yesterday with unacceptable aggression against separationist forces to citizens it constitutionally supposed to protect.
- All parties, especially the Serbs and Croats, need to stop the fighting," he said.
"We cannot and will not accept repression and the use of force in the name of those concerns." He said.
"A lot of blood has already been lost, but it is time for all parties to commit themselves to resolve their differences in the future in a peaceful way," secretary of state James Baker III told the United Nations
Baker said that the United States appreciated the concern of Serbs about their future in the event of Yugoslavia's disintegration but would not condone violence.
Baker said the government of Serbia and the Yugoslav federal military bore a growing responsibility for the grim future which awaited the people of Yugoslavia if they did not stop the bloodshed and reverse the violent course they were pursuing.
The Security Council session was called to approve an arms cutoff to Yugoslavia and all factions that have brought the country to the verge of civil war.
"The aggression within Yugoslavia represents a direct threat to international peace and security." Baker said as the Bush administration set aside diplomatic understatement to register unmistakable threats.
*This crisis in Yugoslavia has descended into open
warfare," Baker said. "This violent conflict threatens all the peoples of Yugoslavia with terrible economic and social strife, with a sharp deterioration in the most fundamental human rights and freedoms, and, above all, with massive bloodshed and loss of life."
Baker urged the council to support peacemaking efforts of the European Community and the Conference on European Security to bring about an effect that would require arbitrators to resolve the dispute peacefully.
He also backed the proposed arms embargo and warned that the conflict threatened to spill beyond Yemen.
"It is this danger of escalation which makes this a matter of prime concern to this Council," Baker
