"It was very informative concerning modern times as well as the fall of Communism," Simington said.
Voytek Slowik, Overland Park junior, said both his parents were from Poland and his father worked
ABCs
for the Solidarity movement. He said that the message he got from Walesa was an important one and said he that considered Walesa a hero.

"We're becoming one world. Everyone has to attempt to get along," Slowik said.

Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said his establishment had had one violation in 13 years.
The agency also operates on the day of a football or basketball game or at the beginning of a new semester, he said.
"They come in and don't announce their presence unless something bad happens," Neverve said.
The agency also inspects liquor stores. Scott Schmidtberger, manager of Alvin's Wine and Spirits, 905 Iowa St., said the ABC has
been using 19- to 20-year-old people for 10 years to make sure a store is following the law. The underage person, carrying a legal, under-21 ID, will try to buy alcohol, he said.
Schmidberger said the store hadn't been checked in a "sting operation" for two years. The store received a violation six years ago for selling to a minor, he said.
Lawrence has a 95 percent compliance rate, which means only 5 percent of liquor stores sold to minors when the ABC last checked them Schmidtberger said. Ten years ago, 25 percent of liquor stores sold to minors, he said.

"It's worth the walk," she said.
"It's a good way to meet people."
This event is the first one SUA and Dining Services have organized together for residence hall students, Stewart said.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said it was a positive thing to have high enrollment because that meant the retention rate was also high.
She said the partnership between the two organizations was just one of the ways SUA was trying to work with other campus groups, and that SUA wanted this event to become something residence hall members would look forward to.

Enrollment CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
She said that the University had to accept all students who meet the admissions requirements, but that the University was expecting to implement an enrollment deposit for students applying for the fall 2006 semester. Pinamonti Kress said the reason for the deposit was to better manage applicants to the University. She said the details were still being worked out, and other than that she could not comment.
The number of in-state students at the University has increased by one percent, to 20,587. Out-of-state students total 9,037, or about 30.5 percent of the student body. The percentage of out-of-state students has fluctuated between 27 and 35 percent, Shulenburger said. He also said that was a good percentage because it was higher than most state universities.

Enrollment at the Edwards Campus has fallen by 46 students, or 0.2 percent. Shulenburger said this was because the University began charging out-of-state tuition at the Edwards campus a few years ago. He said enrollment would probably be up in the next few years.

EARTH tour features farms
ENVIRONMENT
BY RACHELLE HEROD
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Environmental Action to Revitalize the Heartland at the University of Kansas is looking for volunteers to showcase farms during the Kaw Valley Farm Tour. The tour, which is intended to raise awareness of the local agricultural industry, is Oct. 1 and 2 from 1 to 5 p.m.
The Kaw Valley Farm Tour is a driving tour that includes stops at 16 farms in and around Douglas County. Each farm will showcase food and agriculture unique to that farm. Volunteers for the Kaw Valley Farm Tour will participate in a training session on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. At the training session, volunteers will view a slideshow presentation of the 16 farms in order to become familiar with the farms before the tour begins.
"We can use all the help we can get," Jamil Akram, EARTH Coordinator and Kansas City, Mo., senior, said.
EARTH is part of KU's Center for Community Outreach and is dedicated to promoting environmental awareness in the community by helping with events like the farm tour.
"We are about 60 percent there," said Hilary Kass, nutrition educator and volunteer coordinator for the tour. "But we need the other 40 to make sure it goes smoothly."
The tour sponsored by the Kansas Department of Commerce, the Kaw Valley Agri-Tourism Council,
