Queers and Allies celebrate 40 years
Today marks the 40th anniversary of Queers and Allies at the University. The organization will commemorate the event with a formal celebration tonight from 8 to 10 p.m. in the Kansas Union and will feature free food and speeches as well as memorabilia acquired over the past 40 years.
"It speaks to a certain amount of stubbornness that we've been around so long," said Chloe Alexander, media coordinator of
"We like to bring different cultural and educational experiences to KU and Lawrence," said Joel Layton, a senior from Lenexa. "When we have communication we can improve the quality of life for people who feel like they're alone."
Queers and Allies. "It's broadened its reach not only outside but inside as well."
That reach includes bringing in political speakers such as the creator of the rainbow flag and other LGBT activists to share their stories with area residents.
$11 STUDENT TICKETS
In addition to educating individuals about the world of LGBT, Queers and Allies also boasts a strong history of political involvement. One accomplishment that the organization prides itself on was its push back in the 1990's for the University to include sexual orientation in its anti-discrimination policy.
"It's easy to be cynical," Layton said. "But this group provides us with a forum that we work to make our feelings into positive actions."
"KU actually passed their antidiscrimination clause before the city of Lawrence," Layton said.
A Black and White dance party will follow the event from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Wilde's Chateau 24. Queers and Allies encourages all students to attend.
In the future, the organization hopes to continue to promote equality between promote of all sexual orientations and to provide LBGT students with a safe place where they can be themselves.

Group teams up for Veteran's Dav 5K
The University's ROTC and Collegiate Veterans Association are teaming up to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization that helps injured soldiers make smooth transitions back to their homes.
This is the second consecutive year that the two groups are hosting the Lawrence Veteran's Day 5K Run. The race is scheduled for Nov. 13, and is set to begin in front of the Burge Union at 8:30 a.m. Runners who register before the day of the race at register@active.com pay $15. Runners who register on the day of the race pay an additional $5 late fee.
Aaron Razak, a junior from Hayes, served in the Air Force from 2004 to 2009 and was deployed twice. Now, he is coordinating the race to give the community a chance to give service members encouragement.
"You don't have to support the war to support the people that serve." Razak said.
Game Dog Gaurdian, an
organization that helps combat dogfighting practices, is helping to host the run. The Kansas City Marching Cobras, which helps foster developmental skills of underprivileged children in the Kansas City area, will attend the race.
The Lawrence Police Department plans to block off some of the roads near the University to create a route for the runners, though the specific locations haven't yet been determined.
The first 200 runners to sign up will receive a T-shirt. Top finishers will win trophies or other small prizes. Every runner will receive free water and fresh fruit, which will be donated by the University Dining Services.
The real prize, in Razak's opinion, is something different: the chance to give back to those who have served the country.
"These guys have been through a lot, and we want people to know no one has forgotten about them." Razak said.
