The technologists run control tests every day to confirm everything is working. This automated equipment allows the technologists to complete a number of tests that would be impossible to accomplish by hand. Some of the tests, such as chlamydia and gon-

"There might be a glitch in the system," Harrington said. "It was like the message got held up somehow, but then it was delivered."
Some students did not experience e-mail problems at all, such as Dustin Brandy, Salina senior. He said he was able to send and receive e-mails.
Zhenya Duzhak, Novo Sibirsk, Russia, graduate student, had problems Monday when she tried to e-mail herself an economics assignment she'd been doing on campus. When she checked her account at home, it wasn't there. Tuesday, she said her account was fine and she was able to send and receive e-mails.
Simons said the DHCP server is still being repaired. The server was shut down improperly because of the power outage, just as if someone shut down a computer by pulling the plug out of the wall.

"Luckily, everything recovered quickly." Simons said. She said she aimed to have the DHCP server functioning soon.
Simons said that some people had worked for 16 hours Monday trying to restore the system
Jerree Catlin, associate director for information technology, was one of the employees on campus Monday at 1 a.m., and did not leave until around 6:30. She was unavailable for comment Tuesday.

Referendum
CONTINUED FROM THIS TASK
Ian Staples, Lawrence junior and legislative director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said that the table promoting the referendum for women's and non-revenue sports was in violation of the "spirit" of the election code. The election code says that while a student is voting, all candidates or people running the polling site must not communicate with the voter.

"It needs a major overhaul in regards with groups that are campaigning, not necessarily just candidates," Staples said.
Myron Dowey, Paiute Nation, Nevada graduate student and Paiute-Shoshone tribesman, prepares dough to be fried for an Indian taco Tuesday at lunch. The Indian Taco Sale held at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries raised money and community awareness for the Haskell Little Nations Academic Center, which receives no public funding.
He said the athletes at the table were clearly influencing the voters. Even though this was a violation of the code, he said the elections commission was not allowed to monetarily punish anyone except candidates and coalitions. He said before issues such as this
Jones said that he didn't think any student was "weak-minded" enough to just vote on something because a student athlete was supporting it. He said the only way the athletic table influenced any result was by getting more people to vote.
Jones said that the athletes were not telling the students only for vote for the referendum. "We don't gain any benefit by just telling people to vote for the one thing and not the others," he said.

Canoe
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The concrete canoe competition is part of the American Society of Civil Engineers Student Regional Conference in Columbia, Mo., this weekend. The competition has four parts, each of which count for an equal proportion of the score: a five minute presentation, canoe and poster display, written paper and race. Only undergraduate students can compete in the competition.
Becky Anderson, Meriden sophomore, joined the group as a rower but has been helping with the project since the concrete was poured. A civil engineering major, she said the canoe project had provided hands on engineering experience beyond what she
had learned in class.
The University of Kansas placed high in the regional competitions in the early and mid-1990s, but has fallen in recent years as student involvement dwindled. The team failed to complete their canoe in 2004, and no one from that group returned the next year.
Hughes took over the group last year and said the members spent most of the year teaching themselves how to build the canoe. This year, he said, the group was trying to compete and win.
The winners of the 18 regional competitions, plus some second place finishers, will advance to the national competition in June at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla.

Iran threatens to hide program
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran ratcheted up its defiance ahead of a U.N. Security Council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment, threatening Tuesday to hide its program if the West takes "harsh measures" and to transfer nuclear technology to chaos-ridden Sudan.
Ali Larijani, the top Iranian nuclear negotiator, also renewed a vow to end cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and said increasing pressure on Iran would only stiffen its resolve.
"If you take harsh measures, we will hide this program. If you use the language of force, you should not expect us to act transparently." Larijani said, adding that Western nations "have to understand they cannot resolve this issue through force."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice fired back almost immediately, saying, "Iranians can threaten, but they are deepening their own isolation."
Top leader Ayatollah Al Khamenei made the offer to transfer nuclear technology at a meeting Tuesday with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
"Iran's nuclear capability is one example of various scientific capabilities in the country. The Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to transfer the experience, knowledge and technology of its scientists," Khamenei told al-Bashir.
Al-Bashir said last month that his impoverished, violence-ridden country was considering a nuclear program to generate electricity.
Such a technology transfer would be legal as long as it is between signatory states to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty,
and the International Atomic Energy Agency is informed.
Energy Agency We "have to be concerned when there are statements from Iran that Iran would not only have this technology, but would share it, share technology and expertise," Rice told reporters during a visit to Ankara, Turkey.
Russia, meanwhile, launched a satellite Tuesday for Israel that the Israelis say will be used to spy on Iran's nuclear program. The satellite is designed to spot small images on the ground and would allow Israel to monitor Iran's nuclear program and long-range missiles, an Israel defense official said.
With the U.N. deadline approaching Friday, Iran has become more defiant almost daily.
"If U.N. Security Council sanctions are to be imposed on Iran, we will definitely suspend our cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency," Larijani said, echoing the words of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a day earlier.
The United States has not openly threatened military action and said it wanted a diplomatic solution. But President Bush has said all options, including military force, remained on the table.
Iran's stance appeared to stem in part from opposition to sanctions by Russia and China, both veto-holding members of the Security Council.
Britain also warned Iran against miscalculating.
"We see no alternative to the negotiations process," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov. And Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang urged all parties "to show flexibility."
