Lighting funds to be sought in Topeka
By a Kansan reporter
Student body leaders will lobby in the Kansas Legislature next semester, hoping to get funds for campus lighting, the student body president said Saturday.
David Epstein, the president, said he and Amy Brown, student body vice president, would go to Topeka to talk to legislators about acting on some of the recommendations in the lighting study, which was released last Wednesday.
Epstein said lighting was a priority even though
it was not a campaign issue for him and Brown. He said, however, that the money should come from the state rather than from the students or the University.
"It it would be against everything that I stand for to have the students pay for this with an increase in the activity fee," he said. "It's just not realistic to have the Senate or the University pay for it."
He said they also were meeting with State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, to see what could be done about campus lighting.
Epstein said he and Brown talked to directors of the Associated Students of Kansas for instructions on lobbying in the Legislature, which reconvenes in January.
The first area of lighting improvement would be Jayhawk Boulevard, the study says. The estimated cost for that street is $50,000.
The Student Senate has about $180,000 in its unallocated account — more than enough to cover the $50,000, Epstein said. But he said that amount of student money should be spent only if the students voted for it in a referendum.
Boy drowns when ice breaks on river in KC
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A 9-year-old Kansas City boy drowned Saturday afternoon and his brother and mother were hospitalized after they fell through thin ice on the Little Blue River, authorities said.
The two boys, identified as Sean and Brian Joseph by authorities, were walking across the ice cover of the river in eastern Kansas City when the ice broke, sending Sean into the water, said Harold Kanabe, a spokesman for the Kansas City Fire Department.
A police officer and firefighter also were injured in the incident, but were released late Saturday night.
Their mother, who was not identified, attempted to rescue them, but also fell through the ice.
When police and firefighters arrived on the scene they formed a human chain across the ice and grabbed
Sean and his mother from the water, Kanabe said.
However, as rescuers brought Sean and his mother to the shore the ice broke again, sending severaliers and a police officer into the water.
Brian Joseph, 8, was rescued by a Life Flight helicopter, which used a rope and harness to lift him from the ice. He and his mother were both taken to Truman Medical Center where he is listed in fair condition and his mother is listed in poor condition, Kanabe said.
One firefighter was treated for hypothermia at Truman Medical Center. A police officer complained of chest pains and was treated at Menorah Medical Center.
Sean Joseph was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center by a helicopter ambulance where he was pronounced dead.
Board votes to let doctor perform minor operations
United Press International
The board had ordered Sifers to make a decision by Nov. 15, but he failed to do so. The board granted him a second hearing, held Saturday.
TOPEKA — In a reversal, the Kansas Board of Healing Arts has agreed to allow a Johnson County surgeon who has been sued for performing alleged unnecessary mastectomies to conduct minor surgery.
In a 6-5 vote, the board accepted an agreement from Sifers that will allow him to perform minor surgery and assist in major surgery, except for breast surgery. It had rejected a similar
In October, the board issued Dr. Earl C. Sifers an ultimatum: either sign an agreement to stop performing all surgery or risk the loss of his medical license.
proposal from Sifers in October, which did not include the breast surgery provision.
The sixth vote was cast by board president James R. Croy to break a tie.
Afterward, some board members said the limitations imposed on Sifers would sufficiently protect the public.
At the weekend hearing, the board was presented with testimony from Sifers, four of his medical colleagues and the surgeon's attorney, Mark Bennett Jr. of Topeka. All told the board that Sifers' license to practice medicine should not be revoked.
In defending his record, Sifers said he had treated more than 4,000 women with breast disease, operated on 223 of them and was sued by about 10 percent of those he performed surgery on.

International Year of the Youth Apostolic Letter of Pope John Paul II To the Youth Of the World
In the dialogue which Christ develops with each one of you young people the question is raised. "Do you know the commandments?" It will be infallibly repeated, because the commandments form part of the covenant between God and humanity. The commandments determine the essential bases of behavior, decide the moral value of human acts and remain in organic relationship with man's vocation to eternal life, with the establishment of God's kingdom in people and among people. Thus writes St. Paul in his Letter to the Romans, and he immediately adds: "They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness."
Here we touch upon matters of supreme importance for your youth and for that plan of life that emerges from it.
But the conscience must not be distorted; the fundamental formulation of the principles of morality must not surrender to deformation by any kind of relativism or utilitarianism.
Dear young friends! Christ asks you about the state of your moral awareness, and at the same time he questions you about the state of your conscience. This is a key question for man. Its value is the one most closely connected with the relationship of each of you with moral good and evil. The value this depends in an essential way on the authenticity and the rectitude of your conscience. It also depends on its sensitivity.
So we find ourselves here at a crucial moment, when at every step time and eternity meet a level which is proper to man. It is the level of the conscience, the level of moral values: The conscience is the most important dimension of time and history. For history is written not only by events which in a certain sense happen "from within"; it is the history of human consciences, of moral victories and defeats. Here to the essential greatness of man finds it foundation: his authentically human dignity. This is the interior treasure whereby man continually goes beyond himself in the direction of eternity.
This is just what happens in the conscience: In the interior of truth of our acts, in a certain sense, there is constantly present the dimension of eternal life. And simultaneously the same conscience, through moral values, imprints the most expressive seal upon the life of the generations, upon this history and culture of human environments, societies, nations and of all humanity.
In this field how much depends on each one of you!
