AmeriCorps wants student volunteers
By Scott MacWilliams Kansan staff writer
AmeriCorps is on campus today, and it is looking for KU students from all fields to enter the arena of community service.
"We're looking for people to work in the Kansas City area beginning Sept. 1," said Laura Brophy, 1994 KU graduate and AmeriCorps field coordinator for Bridges Across America, the Heartland AmeriCorps in Kansas City, Mo.
AmeriCorps was created in 1993 by Congress and President Clinton as a volunteer organization. The requirements for eligibility are U.S. citizenship or legal residency, at least 17 years of age, a high school degree or GED certificate and the desire to make a difference in the community.
McKenzie said he had volunteered with the Salvation Army and had been an intern with the Juvenile Intake Center in Kansas City, Mo.
"Id like to do some mentoring and help develop policy programs for AmeriCorps," said Darrius McKenzie. Overland Park senior.
"I was a case manager for youth who were first-time offenders," McKinzie said. "I helped them get counseling, mentoring, and make connections for sources of help so they could keep from getting into more trouble."
For their 1,700 hours of community work, AmeriCorps members earn a stipend of about $600 per month. They also get health care benefits, child care for those who are eligible, and an educational award of $4,725 that can be applied toward student loans or reserved for returning to school.
Commitments are for one year, but can be renewed.
Educational awards are limited to two years of service.
Brophy said that each chapter of AmeriCorps had different local agencies and volunteer opportunities. There are more than 400 sponsors and 25,000 AmeriCorps members nationwide.
AmeriCorps volunteers in Kansas City have helped weatherize more than 200 low-income homes, tutored more than 500 youths in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and taught non-violence in area schools. Volunteers plan to begin working with Habitat for Humanity, Operation Breakthrough, Independence Community Services Leagues and the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library next fall.
AmeriCorps is scheduled to have a table from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at Wesco Beach. The rain location will be in the lobby of the Kansas Union. For further information, call Laura Brophy at (816) 561-8122, Ext. 273.
KU students give cheeky display
Kansan staff report
There was more to talk about at 2 p.m. yesterday in front of Wescoe Hall than the sunny weather.
Kathleen O'Connor, Wichita freshman, said all she saw of the pair was their butts, running shoes and hats.
Two naked men sprinted from the Chi Omega fountain to the Phi Gamma Delta House, 1540 Laurova St.
"I've never seen people do that before." White said.
Ed White, Chicago junior,
said he didn't see all that
much aside from two guys
running on the sidewalk nude.
It made being on campus more interesting, he said. But he was sure it promoted other bad behaviors.
"After all, you can't have everybody running around nude," he said. "Well, you could if it's really hot out you could if it's really hot out."
"Dogs can run around campus nude all day," White said. "Why can't people?"
Cinco de Mayo is date to celebrate
By Susanna Löof
Kansan staff writer
It is easier to say cinco de mayo than diezyseis de septiembre. That could be a reason why Cinco de Mayo, which is Sunday, is more famous than the 18th of September, which is the Mexican independence day.
"That's just my theory," said Nicolas Shump, a graduate assistant at the Multicultural Resource Center. Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, usually is celebrated with parades, dances and parties, Shump said.
Several bars in Lawrence offer specials in honor of the holiday and some have live Latin-American music.
"It's been pretty commercialized," he said.
holiday only as an excuse to get drunk.
However, some students see the
"In a college town, that's what it's been reduced to," Shump said.
The real importance of the holiday lies in its history.
"It's just a time to be really proud of your Mexican heritage," Shump said.
The holiday celebrates the Mexican victory in a battle against France in 1862.
Former President Benito Juarez of Mexico had decided to postpone the payments on Mexico's debts to England, France and Spain because of Mexico's tough financial situation.
The three creditors responded with an attack, and the Spanish army advanced to the city of Puebla while the English and French armies withdrew.
The Mexican army, which was ill-equipped and consisted mostly of
Mark Moreno, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said he managed his time and planned ahead.
Moreno, who is the social chairman of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said the club would celebrate by visiting an elementary school today and giving a presentation about the holiday.
The organization also will have a picnic at 3 p.m. on Sunday in Constant Park, located at Sixth and Tennessee streets. Moreno said that everyone was welcome to attend.

It is not always easy for college students to celebrate Cinco de Mayo because it often occurs during or right before finals.
Mestizo and Zapotec Indians, managed to defeat the French on May 5 — cinco de Mayo. The victory was not expected because the French army was thought to be superior.
