STUDENT SENATE

Starting next semester, there could be a noticeable increase to student campus fees.
The Athletics Department asked Student Sonate to increase the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports fee for the first time in a decade. This would better support those teams.
"I believe that the students will readily support it because they have seen what support can mean to women's sports," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
Every three years, each campus fee is reviewed by a committee to determine if it is still at an acceptable amount. Andrew Payne, Garden City junior and chairman
of the Fee Review Committee said the Athletics Department submitted two proposals to the committee last Tuesday.
The first proposal would increase the current $20 amount by $5 per student per semester. In 1996, when the fee was first added, the amount represented 31 percent of the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports budget.
I believe that the students will readily support it because they have seen what support can mean to women's sports."

Jesse Niebaum, Pittsburg freshman and one of Rotman's roommates, said he greeted Rotman in the hallway Sunday night about 8:30 p.m., right before Rotman collapsed. Rotman grad
Rotman was a well-intended, goofy guy who was open to anything. Niebaum said. Rotman once created an entire meal out of juice at Mrs. E's, he said, and stole his roommates' barbecue sauce while they were trying to eat.
Rotman graduated from Lakeside High School in Downs in 2005. He received numerous academic scholarships

"The sudden loss of such a bright young man who was filled with promise and who had already begun an active college career in the short time he was at KU fills us with great sadness," Hemenway said. "We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends."
Jessica Sullivan, AURH president, said the hardest part for her Monday was remembering the in-depth conversation the two had Sunday at Mrs. E's about Monday's AURH meeting.
"I'm still blown away," Sullivan said. "He was just a really good kid."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway issued a statement Monday expressing the University's condolences.

ocal businesses feel the stress instead of the love on Feb. 14. It's a day for extra inventory and long hours, almost always resulting in a substantially larger payoff than the year's other 364 days.
Here's a look at how four local businesses prepare for the most romantic day of the year.
While sticking price tags to displays holding the famous boxes of chocolate, Carol Morgan looked tired.

Candies manager
The crew at Russell Stover Candies, 1300 W. 23rd St., ordered its Valentine's Day inventory in October and has been preparing for its busiest day of the year ever since.
you get your help lined up, your products lined up, and I'd like to say it goes smoothly." Morgan said. "Well, it goes smoother."
Of course, the candy industry does a great deal of business during the month of February. Morgan gave numbers that even the most extreme chocolate lover would have trouble digesting.
In the five days leading up to the big day, her store does 20 to 25 percent of its business for the entire year, Morgan said.
Although Wal-Mart and other discount chains sell Russell Stover products, this store sells all the Russell Stover candies on the market. Morgan's crew makes its own sweets, too, such as chocolate-dipped fruit and nut clusters. Already approaching 60 hours this week in the kitchen, Steve Agnew, Atchison senior, said that his Valentine's Day would start at 6 a.m. in the store.
"If you're prepared and you know what's coming,
CAROL MORGAN'S IDEAL VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT?
"I'm hoping to get flowers this year. My husband's pretty good about knowing that I don't even want to see that stuff, although chocolate used to be my favorite gift."

CRIME
Knock, knock; girl with knife at door
Jon Englert heard his door bell ring at 9 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. He got up to open the door expecting to see a friend who was coming over to play "Halo 2" after the big game. Instead, he said he was greeted by a tiny woman with a knife.
The woman, who was no taller then 5 feet 2 inches, told Englert, Syracuse sophomore, that she was sorry to bother him but that she had a knife and needed $20, according to a police report.

Englert said he slammed the door on the would-be robber, locked it, and called the police. Englert said that he could not get a good look at the woman, but that he noticed her face was covered almost entirely with a scarf and a stocking hat.
"At first I didn't know if I should just punch her in the face or just slam the door," Englert said.
Police arrived at Englert's apartment complex, near 23rd and Kasold streets, and began to search the area for the suspect.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the department could not find any suspects who matched her description.
He said police found a wool scarf, a gray stocking cap and a kitchen knife with a black handle near the crime scene.

Englert, said the incident didn't really bother him. He found it more puzzling then nerve-racking.
But now he thinks twice before opening the door every time it rings, he said.
"I'm going to start using the peephole," Englert said, "just to see who's out there."
