Docking family contributes funds for a new gateway
A new gateway, featuring a water fountain, will be built near the intersection of 13th Street and Oread Avenue.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced that the $600,000 gateway would be funded by a gift from the Docking family of Wichita.
"This is an outstanding way to honor the legacy of the Docking family and provide a fitting entrance to the University of Kansas," Hemenway said. "This gateway will improve the visibility of this historic entrance to the campus and is an integral part of KU's campus landscape master plan."
The gateway will be named for the Docking family, including former Kansas Lt. Gov. Tom Docking and his wife, Kansas alumna Jill Docking.
"Jill and I hope our support of this valuable enhancement to the campus will return to KU some of the immense benefit our family has received over many generations,"Tom Docking said.
Construction will begin in Spring 2006, pending approval from the Campus Historic Preservation Board and the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission. The gateway fountain will feature vertical jets of water in a round plaza.

Group unites for Uganda

Trip abroad sparks call for action

Erin Larive couldn't believe what she had heard was going on in Uganda. She was studying abroad in Nairobi, Kenya, and decided to go see for herself. In Uganda, Larive saw the effects of the refugee camps in the war zone of the northern area of the country.
"At the camp, people were eating trash and there were the malnourished children with giant bellies," Larive, who graduated in the spring, said. "It's hard to think that the kids I met are not still alive."
According to the British Broadcasting Corp., more than one million people inhabit the camps and face food shortages and lack proper medication. The refugees relocated to these camps to escape attacks from Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army rebels in their villages. For 19 years, more than 20,000 children have been abducted by the rebel forces to be used as soldiers and sex slaves.
Rebekah Heacock, Lawrence senior, heard of the conditions from Larive and took action.
"When I heard about the situation, I felt like I had a responsibility to do something," Heacock said. "People need to know so they can pressure our government to support peace negotiations."
Heacock, Larive and Whitney Onasch, Fairwayjunior, created the KU4Uganda Club to educate and encourage others to act for peace in Uganda and to call on government leaders to make an effort for peaceful resolution to the war.
"At the camp, people were eating trash and there were the malnourished children with giant bellies."
Erin Larive 2005 graduate
More than 20 students have expressed interest so far, Heacock said. The group has applied for registration with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
The first meeting will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday at Mirth, 745 New Hampshire, formerly Cafe Nova. The group will discuss its next event, the GuluWalk Day on Oct. 21 and 22. Participants will walk from Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, northeast of Sixth Street and Wakarua Road, to South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, beginning at 5:30 p.m. A film about the children affected by the war will also be shown at the park. Afterward, participants will sleep in a local community building before walking back to the high school the next morning.
The Lawrence GuluWalk Day is one of 32 similar walks taking place internationally. KU4Uganda's goal is to raise at least $2,000 to help provide shelter, food and support to the "night commuters" of northern Uganda.
"These are children in rural northern Uganda who walk up to 7.5 miles each night to the cities where they feel safer from rebel attack and abduction than at home." Heacock said. "They shouldn't be living like this."

Meeting children and families at a refugee camp in northern Uganda inspired Erin Larive, a 2005 graduate, to educate KU students about the plight of Ugandan refugees. More than 1 million people live in the camps and face starvation and lack of medications.
