second home to students," Graf said. "We want students to know we are accessible."
Graf said the low number of classes offered in the museum and its out-of-the-way location were reasons why few students visited. She said she didn't think people realized how many pieces of art the museum has, estimating there to be "tens of thousands" of pieces.
Doug Kiene and Haley Jones, Shawnee freshmen, critique a piece of art during Thursday night's Destinations exhibit in the Spencer Museum of Art. Each guest received a passport and was encouraged to view the different exhibits throughout the museum.
The 20/21 Gallery is slated to open in July.

the attacking groups used weapons.
Both attacks occurred during the day.
"We need to be alert as a community to this;" Henderson said.
One Lawrence attack occurred near the Lawrence Public Library, while the other happened behind the buildings on the west side of Massachusetts Street's 800 block. Henderson said one of the attacking groups used the words "bum bash" while attacking — a term used in a series of underground videos of attacks on homeless people.
Holtaway said she hoped the demonstration would also prompt more compassion for homeless people.
"People seem to be afraid of homeless people," she said. "And homeless individuals might be just as afraid of other people."

The final version of the Lander will include sensors that calculate decent rate, temperature and altitude.
If the Lander has a successful soft landing and the rover drives itself, images the terrain and the Lander's American flag. Parrott said he would consider the eight-month project

Rose continually changed his story and the officials asked some questions more than a dozen times. On multiple occasions, Rose told the investigators that he didn't know what to say.

"When we start talking about him leaving that apartment, walking around, it gets harder for him. It gets emotional."
"When talking about fires, he seems withdrawn. He does not want to talk about fire... It gets emotional."

Bell and offered to sell him marijuana. Rose said "Star" had left a piece of paper containing his phone number with him.
"When talking about fires, he seems withdrawn. He does not want to talk about fire." Squire said.
Rose said he had been in a fight with "Stan" after he demanded on the phone that Rose
buy marijuana from him. He said it was the piece of paper with "Stans" phone number that he set on fire and dropped on a walkway. He told them that he "didn't mean to hurt anyone."
The taped confession is a key point for Rose's defense. His attorney, Ron Evans, contends that Rose was coerced into a confession.
During opening statements Tuesday, Evans portrayed Rose as a young man brought up in environment of instability. He said Rose had suffered a childhood of abuse and that the "$64,000 question" in the case was whether he had been treated fairly in questioning.
The trial is expected to last up to two weeks, with today being the fifth day. The jury will likely see the conclusion of the interrogation during this morning's session, which is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
"They didn't know what effects their questioning would have on him." Evans said.

One of the tests involved three gumdrops; purple, red and yellow. Jenkins said most people expected the colors to taste a certain way: grape, cherry and lemon, respectively. When the audience members tasted each gumdrop, there were looks of surprise on their faces.
To test the audience's flavor sensitivity, jenkins gave the audience three different "taste tests" depending on smell, color and genetic taste-bud makeup.

Green tea also has different colors that can change the expectations of the flavor. Lauren McCoy, Overland Park junior, said she didn't know green tea had such an array of colors.

"I have never been a fan of tea, because I prefer to drink coffee," McCoy said. "I didn't realize the tasting of the tea could be differentiated by so many colors."

"Many people, even the trained panelists, are from Kansas and aren't used to eating seaweed or anything with a fish taste in it," Lee said. "They would say 'this just takes fish'."

A tea with a seaweed label would contain aromatics associated with shellfish, fresh fish and ocean vegetation. Lee said most people had a hard time differentiating a seaweed or fishy taste because they grew up away from the smell of the sea.
Kansas State researchers define green tea attributes
The buses from California have been guaranteed to be on campus by August 1.
Another researcher, Alicia Jenkins, Kansas State graduate student, said many things affected perception of flavor, which was comprised of all of the senses and other factors such as personal experience, age, abuse, health and genetics.
TASTE TEST
Kaiser said there were two contracts pending for three and five buses out of Minnesota. Those eight buses, 1994 models, were last used in Denver.
The assistants shared the science and analysis of their study with the KU community Thursday in the Kansas Union.
A specific lexicon that can be used for describing the flavoring of green teas was developed by research assistants for the Kansas State University Sensory Analysis Center and will be published next month.
The taste testing used descriptive sensory analysis, which involved the detection and description of a product. The audience was given two samples of teas to taste, and then described them based on the attributes. The first sample was yellow, and the audience described it as having a seaweed and green flavor.
Jee Hyun Lee, the principal investigator of the study, said the growing popularity of green tea had given people different interpretations of the taste of green tea.
Campus fees make impact
"We wanted to develop a lexicon for describing green tea, including a definition and reference for each attribute," Lee said. "If I say green, we will all agree to the definition, and the reference."
Kaiser said the buses would have the same color scheme as the current Park and Ride buses.

For the study, the researchers collected 138 green tea samples from nine different countries. From those samples, a trained panel created 31 different attributes, including four appearance terms, 25 flavor

As the school year comes to a close, students returning can expect to see their student fee increases at work around campus.
Student fees increased this semester by $54.75. Students will be able to see $30.75 of those increases at work shortly after returning to the University in the fall.

Tom Cox, Shawnee junior and head of the SafeBus subcommittee, said ideally there would be two buses on each of the three routes.
Unlike fee increases that set off inflation, these increases provide tangible evidence of how student money is being spent.
Funds for the construction of the building were provided by the University, a donation from the Sabatini family and student fees. Students pay $3.50 to cover the construction fee.
The construction for the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center began in May 2006.
In the fall, students begin paying $1.75 more per semester toward the center. A full-time front desk position will be funded with $1.50 of the increase. The remaining 25 cents will fund long-term mainte-

Beginning in the fall the MRC will control Senate's multicultural education fund. Student groups needing funds will work in conjunction with the MRC and Senate.

Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for information services, said preliminary work on the project began this spring and will continue through the fall semester.
An expanded blanket of wireless Internet can be expected to cover the University by Fall 2008. A $5 per semester student fee, along with Student Senate funds and a fee match by the University, covers expansion costs.
Once the expansion is complete, wireless will cover nearly 100 percent of campus.
