Are you in a charitable mood? This weekend offers several opportunities to enjoy yourself and help others at the same time.
Artists from many of Lawrence's finest bands, including Split Lip Rayfield, the Midday Ramblers, The What Gives, Drakkar Sauna, The She-Bangs, and Mary Me Moses, have rehearsed for more than a year to perform Jesus Christ Superstar as a rock show this Saturday. There will be a show at 7 p.m. for all ages and another at 11 p.m. for ages 21 and over at the Bottleneck. The $5 cover charge will go straight to the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen of Lawrence and the Lawrence Humane Society, making the incentive to listen to great music all the more sweet.
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, and you can never go wrong with celebrating this festive holiday early. On Saturday night, the Apple Valley Farm in Ozarkie is hosting the band Blue Orleans for its 2006 Mardi Gras Party. The celebration goes from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and the minimum age is 18.
If you're in the mood for a Latinto beat, the popular band Son Venezuela will return to Lawrence along with DJ Jalapeno this Saturday at the Granada at 9 p.m.
The basketball border rivalry with Missouri isn't over yet. At 11 a.m. Saturday, the KU and MU women's basketball teams will battle it out in Allen Fieldhouse. Don't miss this great opportunity to support the Jayhawks. At 8 p.m. Saturday, the men's team will take on Texas at Austin, Texas, in one of the biggest conference games of this season.
Other events on campus this weekend include a free poker tournament hosted by Student Union Activities at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the Kansas Union. With prizes up to $300 and no entry fee, what is there to lose by going, besides your dignity? On Saturday night, SUA will also be hosting "Up 'til Dawn," a night of games that will raise money for cancer.
Remember, you can also enjoy yourself out on the town by doing things that will benefit others. That's true entertainment value for everyone.

Police arrested Anderson Wednesday night in Topeka at about 7:30. Olin said Thursday morning at a press conference. Anderson was stopped at the corner of 23rd and California streets.
The department had been conducting surveillance on Anderson prior to the arrest.
Olin said the department followed up on more than 200 leads in regard to the shooting, some of which took the investigation as far as Colorado. Witnesses' statements in Colorado led Lawrence police to Topeka.
The department worked in conjunction with Colorado police and other Kansas police departments in making the arrest.
The case has been turned over from the police department to District Attorney Charles Branson.

"The majority was peaceful, but the cameras and the eyes of the world chose to focus on the minority that chose the violence," he said.
Speech

Immunity that chose the leaders He said that the civil rights movement also had violent aspects, such as the Black Panthers and Malcolm X, but what people remember is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I also have a dream that there will be a day when we can all live together in harmony no matter who we are," he said.
"Would we call Hitler a Christian? He wasn't. And he didn't do what he did in the name of Christianity," he said.
"That is supposedly freedom of speech," Elbayouy said.
ter who we are, he said. Elbayoum compared the cartoons and other recently published statements to Nazi propaganda and said that if the word "Muslim" was taken out of the statements in current newspapers and substituted with "Jew" it would be almost identical to what was published in the 1930s before the Holocaust.
Christianity. Elbayoumy questioned that this was all in the name of free speech, giving the example of David Irving, a British right-wing extremist and anti-Semit who wrote "Hitler's War," a book that tried to prove that the Holocaust was exaggerated. Although the book was published 17 years ago, Irving was arrested Monday in Austria for what he wrote.
Unhy sales.
He said that as a Muslim he has a strong appreciation of free speech because areas where Islam are predominate are often under censorship, but "being free to say something doesn't mean I am free to say anything without results, without consequences."

Printing hateful views is nothing new in our history, said Tim Miller, professor in the religious studies department. He showed examples of religious cartoons poking fun at Christians, Catholics and Jews. One cartoon showed certain characteristics that a Jew "should" have, such as flat feet and a repulsive rear view.
Panel
it's a regenerable part of our society.
The managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World spoke regarding the audience that the publication targets. Dennis Anderson said the Journal-World didn't publish the cartoons because they were viewed as offensive to the city of Lawrence.
"My point is that there's nothing new here, and it's a regrettable part of our history," he said.
"Our job is to keep the readers informed," he said. "But we don't have to offend people."
Moussa Elbayoumy, director of the Islamic Society of Lawrence, closed the panel by saying we're defending how we really define freedom of speech.
He said that many people have said, "What's the big deal? They are just cartoons."
"We need to admit that people have different attachments to religion," he said. "In essence when you attack religion, you are touching the core of someone's identity."
After the five speeches, the floor was open for questions from the audience. There were about 80 people in attendance.Many of them were students.
"I agreed with what most of them said about not printing the cartoons," Odessa Reis, Curitiba, Brazil, junior said. "People deserve to be respected as much as I deserve to be respected, regardless of belief."
