Politician allegedly violated KU policy
University Relations began receiving reports around 3 p.m. that Yoder, who was student body president during the 1998-1999 school year, was
Kevin Yoder, candidate for the 3rd Congressional District of Kansas, may have broken the University's media policy Wednesday after allegedly filming on campus without permission.
with a group of people who were filming in front of Strong Hall and the Kansas Memorial Union.
"I was walking across Jayhawk Boulevard and saw him and a few of his staff with a video camera," said Nick Boehm, a senior from Prairie Village. "There was a kid that enthusiastically said, I'm a Jayhawk and I'm a Yoder voter, into the camera."
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said Yoder
did not have permission to film on campus.
"Under our media policy, they are supposed to get permission to film from University Relations," Cohen said. "I am disappointed that didn't occur."
University Relations staff searched for Yoder at the Kansas Memorial Union but was unable to locate him. Cohen said University Relations had yet to contact the Yoder campaign to confirm that the film crew was Yoder's.
Cohen said he thought University Relations would not pursue the matter further.
Yoder's previous request to film in the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center was denied by University Relations because it violated a Kansas State Board of Regents and University campus facilities policy
Yoder was unavailable to comment on the alleged violation.

Preacher threatens to burn Quran, again
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Rev. Terry Jones, an anti-Islamic preacher, backed off and then threatened to reconsider burning the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, aggrily accusing Imam Muhammad Musri, a Muslim leader, of lying to him Thursday with a promise to move an Islamic center and mosque away from New York's ground zero. The imam planning the center denied such a deal.
"Given what we are now hearing, we are forced to rethink our decision," Jones said. "So as of right now, we are not canceling the event, but we are suspending it."
Jones did not say whether the Quran burning could still be held Saturday, but he said he expected Musri to keep his word.
Musri did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Thursday after Jones accused him of lying.
