Krishnas collecting money on campus
Hall residents tell of member's visits
Two years ago a man came to Daniel Henry's room in Templin Hall asking for donations to a project in the Appalachian Mountains. Henry, Seattle senior, gave the man with short hair $5 and received a Snoopy hat and two stickers.

They're back. The men that came to Henry's door were Hare Krishnas or members of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which Henry figured out after the second man came to his door.
Two months ago, another man showed up at Henry's room on the seventh floor of Templin asking for donations to a boys' school and a meal service for the needy in West Virginia.
And yesterday, yet another man came to Henry's door with a hat with a Jayhawk on it and more stickers, asking for a $10 donation for several years. The lady said Henry said he and his friends laughed the man out of the room
"The moment he came in and opened his mouth, I knew it was him," said Henry, referring to Mike Kora, a member of ISKCNOR who was collecting donations for a wide range of things in Templin and other residence halls yesterday. "I got ticked off; they've been around here three times. I guess they expect a turnover at the dorms."
Henry said that the men that came to his door had used the same line every time.
"All three times they say, 'You haven't been partying enough; you've been taking too much and trying to get girls gleich.' Henry said.
Dayanand Shepherd, Merriam freshman and Templin resident, who donated $10 to Korba yesterday, said that he didn't like the hat but that he wanted to contribute to a worthy cause.

"It's fortunate that he doesn't let you know that he's a Hare Krishna," said Shepherd, who was told that the money would go to Meals on Wheels, a nationwide program to feed the poor and elderly. "When they don't let you know, it seems like they are doing something behind your back. Sounds like he is going around telling people what they want to hear."
Korba, a Hare Krishna volunteer from West Virginia who shaved his head recently but then allowed his hair to grow again to "keep people from freaking out," said. "If I come up to everyone and tell them that I'm a Hare Krishna, I'd get doors slammed in my face."
Norra is in Lawrence with another volunteer from the Appalachian Projects until May 15. He said that he visited about 100 people a day and that he collected donations from about 15.

"When my best friend got pregnant, I told her not to make the same mistake I did."
"I knew exactly how she felt when she found out she was pregnant. She thought it could never happen to her. She was really scared and confused.
I felt so bad when I found out I was pregnant. I thought nothing could feel worse, but after my abortion, I felt like I didn't deserve to live.
I knew I could help her because the same thing had happened to me. I remember people telling me I should get an abortion - that it was the easiest thing to do. I was just so scared of everybody finding out that I was pregnant. I never stopped to really find out what all my options were. I never stopped to consider how an abortion might hit me emotionally.
Since then I've learned that there are people and groups who can help you when you're pregnant, scared, and confused. I know now that if I'd had information and help during that time, I wouldn't have had to make decisions without knowing all the choices.
So, I told my best friend not to make the same mistake I did. Even though she was scared, I told her to take time to understand more about her pregnancy and make a careful decision. Life is just too important.
It's the best advice I've ever given a friend."
Today, more than 20 million lives have been ended by abortion decisions. These life-changing choices are often made too quickly, without a full understanding of the impact an abortion can have. And often without the knowledge that there are positive support systems and alternatives available for pregnant women.
If you would like to know more about abortion, abortion alternatives, or how to help someone suffering from an abortion, please write or call today. We have information that will give you a new understanding of abortion.
