for her.
The stabbing suspect was chased out of the victim's apartment by two witnesses, police said. One of the witnesses called the police and the other, the victim's brother, allegedly shot the stabbing suspect with a 22 caliber revolver in the upstairs hallway of the apartment house, police said.

Spring break meccas varv in cost. benefits

Although the semester is barely two weeks old, KU students already are being flooded with advertisements for the perfect spring break.
A number of different companies are promising everything from basic lodging to luxury vacations in numerous advertisements in newspapers and on campus bulletin boards.
But dreams of spending spring break in paradise may turn into a week of frustrations if students are not careful in making their travel plans, Mark Petry, a travel consultant for Maupintout Travel Service, 831 Massachusett St., said yesterday.
Through years of experience, both as traveler and travel agent, Petry said, he has learned that students get about anything they want in a trip if they take the time to look and are not afraid to ask questions.
Students should first get as much information as possible before making a decision on travel arrangements, he said. More information will only make for a better decision.
Next, students should make reservations for spring break as far in advance as possible. Petry said. The earlier reservations are made, the better the available rates will be.
because they deal with them all year.
"The time you should really think about spring break is before Christmas," he said.
Students should deal with a certified travel agency, Petry said. Agencies have more clout with hotel and transportation companies
Above all, students should ask questions, he said. Good companies will be willing to answer any questions they can.
Students should not be afraid to ask an agent or a travel service representative for the address of a hotel and look it up on a map or to write the hotel for more information. Also, it is a good idea to ask about the company's policy on refunding any deposits, he said.
The two spring break hot spots this year, judging from the advertisements on campus, are Daytona Beach, Fla., and South Padre Island, Texas.
Packages to Padre Island offered on campus range from a Sunchase Tours' offer of one week in South Padre for $89 to Maupintour's price of $399.
Allan Peters, campus representative for Sunchase Tours, said for $89 the customer must provide his own transportation and must be willing to go between March 1-8, a week before KU's spring break begins.
The price for the same package for the week of March 7-16, with the choice of staying in a hotel or a condominium, was from $149 to $169.
Petry said Maupintour's price may be higher, but it was worth it because the package included roundtrip air fare and lodging in condominiums with such extras as racquetball courts and lacuzzi.
The average package to Daytona Beach includes lodging in a beachfront hotel, poolside parties, escorts and the option of traveling by bus or providing your own transportation.

New cigarette still presents health hazard
By Lynn Maree Ross

An article in a December 1985 health magazine said Favor cigarettettes looked, felt and tasted like real cigarettes, but were smokeless.
Smokeless cigarettes may vaporize the issue of second-hand smoke, but they won't eliminate all the hazards of smoking, a resident at the University of Kansas Medical Center said yesterday.
Ace Allen, the resident, said nicotine in regular cigarettes was a product of combustion, but in smokeless cigarettes nicotine was inhaled as tiny droplets.
According to the article, the cigarettes are good for about "30 minutes of puffing."
The smoker gets a similar amount of nicotine to that in real cigarettes, Allen said, without lightening up and without the tars or carbon monoxide.
The tars in cigarettes cause cancer, Allen said. And the carbon monoxide causes clogged arteries.
While nicotine is somewhat medically acceptable, be said, the nicotine content of the e-liquid
Although nicotine is less harmful,
it still is a carcinogen, he said.
Studies say that second-hand smoke causes an increase of asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia in children of parents who smoked. Allen said.
"I know a former surgeon general said, 'Smoking is child abuse,'" he said.
Second-hand smoke also has been a particularly hot issue in the work place.
Maupintour Travel Service, 1515 St. Andrews Dr., started a nosmoking policy three years ago, said John Gibson, director of personnel. The policy was enforced for two reasons.
health of the ones who don't smoke," he said.
He said the policy was enforced on ly after holding no-smoking clinics
The second reason is that employees work in an open environment, Gibson said. Some complained that cigarette smoke bothered them.
Although smokeless cigarettes might take care of complaints about second-hand smoke, Gibson said, Maupintour's no-smoking policy probably will not change.
Health insurance rates are directly affected by health claims and the employees' health, which can be related to whether they smoke, he said.
