Hays applauds Seib when he returns home
By JOSEPH REBELLO
Staff writer
HAYS — On the same basketball court he had played on as a school-boy more than 13 years ago, Wall Street Journal reporter Gerald Seib heard his hometown mayor proclaim Saturday as "Gerald Seib Day."
Red and white balloons, Valentine's Day hearts, a large U.S. flag, and posters saying, "Jerry, We're Glad You are Home" and "God Bless You" adorned the gym at Hays' Thomas More Prep Marian school, where about 400 city leaders, former classmates, teachers and friends gathered to welcome Seib ho an Iranian ji

Before the public reception, Seib said that for one fleeting moment during his defention in Iran, his friends and family stayed as Kansan editor in fall 1977.
the courage with which Seib endured his ordeal in Iran made him a world hero.
"But you were a hero to us before all this happened," he said
At that time, Iranian students demonstrated several times on campus against U.S. policies and the Shah of Iran.
Seib said that those events were not covered enough by the Kansan then, and said that the newspaper should have paid closer attention

Jennifer Dunbar, SUA public relations board member and coordinator of the activities, said she had a few doubts about putting so many events on an allegedly unlucky day.
"Actually, I did talk about it to Gene Wee, my programs adviser, but he was very reassuring," Dunbar said. "I think it will work out all right, but I don't want to say nothing is going to go wrong.
"I'm only superstitious about a few things. I don't mind black cats or walking under ladders."
Friday the 13th is not becoming just another day on the calendar for everyone.
Witches still believe Friday the 13th is a lucky day, Nichols said. This edition of the 13th is special because a full moon will shine tonight.
"There are many different kinds of covens," he said. "Each different kind has its own way of
Nichols estimated that there were at least 30 different kinds of covens in the Kansas City metropolitan area which contain hundreds and maybe thousands of witches.

For non-witches, though. Friday the 13th is more and more becoming just a day on the calendar.
