Dennis Moore said that most of the issues that are facing Congress now are so grave that he has to find humor where he can. He did just that during the open forum at the Burge Union. While he was making his opening remarks, a blue KU Young Democrats banner covering the entire wall behind him came crashing down. He quickly responded, "I hope that's not a sign of things to come." Moore, who has already served in the U.S. House of Representatives for four terms, is planning on running for another term. After he made a few brief remarks, he fielded questions on topics ranging from genocide to partisanship to military death gratuities. Moore said that there are four groups of people that he primarily tries to look out for: children whose parents can't or won't look out for them, people with disabilities, senior citizens and veterans, military families and military personnel. Beyond that, he said, he really believes in personal responsibility. "If you're able-bodied and between 18 and 65 then you should provide for yourself," he said. Most of his answers were heavily infused with personal anecdotes that he used to explain his views. "I look at every issue and try to make educated, concerned judgements on issues before Congress and just act on a partisan basis," Moore said. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3A He said that he felt that partisanship in Congress has reached levels that are unhealthy for the country. "Sometimes when you're there in Congress you just feel like you're butting your head against a wall and you can't get anything accomplished," he said. Moore ended the session on a patriotic note, talking about how far the United States has come since the civil war when only white, male, property owners could vote. "We're still not perfect, we still have a long ways to go, but I think we have the greatest country in the whole world," he said. Marc Langston, Whichita sophomore and president of KU Young Democrats, said that before the forum he hadn't realized that Moore was so concerned about issues regarding the military troops. "He has worked really hard for students and I don't think he emphasized that enough being in front of students." Langston said. — Edited by Gabriella Souza Rap for your right While filming a music video, Marcus "Quese IMC" Frejo, center right, raps to the camera during the shoot at the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder.

The gunman took his own life after firing on the party. Shooting kills six, ends with suicide BY JACKSON HOLTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — The young man who killed six people at a house party over the weekend had brought three guns, more than 300 rounds of ammunition, a baseball bat and a black machete, and told guests as he blazed away, "There's plenty for everyone," authorities said Monday. Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, was "clearly intent on doing homicidal mayhem." Deputy Police Chief Clark Kimerer said. However, investigators still have no idea wha, he said. "We may be asking these questions over the next year or two," Kimerer said. "Hopefully we will find some answers." Huff committed suicide when confronted by an officer outside the house early Saturday. Toxicology results will not be available for several days, Kimerer said. Police said the victims, many of them dressed up as zombies in black with white face paint, had met Huff earlier in the night at a rave called "Better Off Undead" and invited him to a party at their rented home. He killed two people on the front steps, then killed three more people in the living room and went looking for more victims. police said. As he walked back to the party, Huff used spray paint to write "NOW" on the sidewalk and a neighbors' stairs, police said. Huff left the party at about 7 a.m. and returned wearing bandoliers of ammunition and carrying a 12-gauge pistol-grip shotgun and a handgun. He tried to enter a locked bathroom, jiggled the handle and fired a few rounds through the door, missing a frightened couple. As shots rang out, neighbors called 911. When police confronted Huff, he put the shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. "What he might have done if he was able to leave this scene and continue this rampage, I sudder to contemplate," Kimerer said. THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS PATH WAYS animal assisted therapy, inc Love animals?
