Dr. Dennis Sale, administrator of New Hope Medical Ministry, checks patient Paula Miller's eyes Friday afternoon. New Hope Medical Ministry is a free clinic offered by New Life in Christ Church at 6th and Vermont.
MINISTRY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Sale said.
The clinic will not only provide low cost medical services for students but also hands-on experience for student volunteers. The volunteers will learn how to draw blood, administer small medical tests such as a strep test and perform clerical duties, Sale said. Students interested in volunteering can contact the church by phone at 785-832-1845.
The clinic will be open to patients every Wednesday. Sale said the clinic would have 18 to 20 appointments with patients, plus two to four walk-in patients, each day. The clinic will also provide counseling services concerning depression, family and relationship issues. All services are free and open to anyone.
"We figure that's between us and God," Sale said. "We will accept anyone that comes through."

MIDDLE EAST
Fears squelch hope of nuclear talks
That proposal was billed by the NPT conference as a potential breakthrough and - despite Israeli objections - was backed by the U.S. and other nuclear powers for the first time since Arab nations began pushing for such a gathering 15 years ago.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The latest failure to bring the opposing sides to the table casts further doubt on plans to hold more substantive talks in two years on such a zone, as proposed by the U.N's 189-nation Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty conference four months ago.
VIENNA — Tensions between Israel and Islamic nations have scuttled plans by the U.N. atomic watchdog agency to convene talks this year on a Mideast free of nuclear weapons, according to a document shared with The Associated Press.
Since, then, traditional tensions have been exacerbated by a push by Arab nations to force the Jewish state to allow international inspections of its secretive nuclear program.
Islamic nations have long called for Israel — which is widely believed to have nuclear arms — to open its program. Confidential documents made available to the AP in August showed increasing pressure ahead of International Atomic Energy Agency meetings
later this month, with Arab nations lobbying even Washington and other Israeli allies to drop their traditional backing of the Jewish state's nuclear secrecy and vote for a resolution calling on it to allow IAEA inspections.
A report from IAEA chief Yukiya Amano prepared for those meetings and made available Wednesday to the AP reflects the tense situation.
The report, which is being circulated internally to the IAEA's 35 board member nations, acknowledges the failure to carry out a meeting planned for this year on a Mideast nuclear free zone due to "a long-standing and fundamental difference of views between
Israel ... and the other States of the Middle East region."
Responses from Israel and Islamic nations make it clear "that currently there is no convergence of views on convening" such talks, said the report, dated Aug. 31 and entitled "Application of IEA Safeguards in the Middle East."
Israel, the U.S. and their allies consider Iran the region's greatest proliferation threat, fearing that Tehran is trying to achieve the capacity to make nuclear weapons despite its assertion that it is only building a civilian program to generate power.
But Islamic nations insist that Israel is the true danger in the Middle East.

it has a finite availability."
Limiting the sediment that goes into rivers would help delay Clinton Lake's expiration date, but so would conserving the use of its water.
"If students at KU were more aware of that, and were aware of remedies of that, like conserving, they would be very likely to speak up and give some effort to solve those problems," said Marshall Wetta, a junior from Silver Lake.
While it won't solve the problem of either rejuvenating local reservoirs or finding another
source of water, students can help prolong the use of water from Clinton Lake and other reservoirs by conserving the amount of water they use.
"That's something, as citizens, we've got to come to understand. Managing our water resources is going to take more of an effort," Huggins said. "I suspect that, throughout the Great Plains, we're all facing the same issues. It's just that we haven't pulled our heads out of the sand."

Man in dump truck aims to evade cops
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Police said a 37-year-old man driving a dump truck led them on an hour-long chase over roads, rails and yards in the Syracuse area that ended with the suspect being shot. The Onondaga County Sheriff said Stanley Lostumbo jumped into a dump truck Tuesday night after being accused of stealing from vending machines at a mall.
Police pursued the truck on
a highway, through backyards and school grounds and down railroad tracks at speeds up to 65 mph before stopping it at a barricade in East Syracuse.
Police said Lostumbo reversed the truck and hit a sheriff's vehicle and officers fired, apparently striking Lostumbo in the shoulder. He was briefly hospitalized for minor injuries.
Deputies were questioning Lostumbo. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.

ENGINEERING
Engineers take studies to China
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
Hot, humid and short on blondes are just a few ways Markie McConkey described her recent trip to China.
McConkey, a senior from Lincoln, Neb., went to China as part of a senior project established through the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows program.
The SELF program was begun three years ago by former engineering alum Madison "Al" and Lila Self. Program coordinator Lucy McGilley said the Purpose of the SELF program is to find students with a passion or fire in their belly and help them develop skills in engineering as well as skills outside of the discipline.
Fourteen senior level engineers in the school of engineering went on the trip that spanned the week of Aug. 8 through Aug. 17. McConkey said when the students were considering where to go that would enable them to learn the most and give back the most to the University, they decided on the World's Fair in Shanghai.
"We thought 'why not shoot
for the stars?" MeConkey said.
With this being the first class of seniors to graduate, McGilley told the students that she felt the need for a capstone experience to
While visiting these sights, and companies like Black and, Veatch and Google Beijing, students kept personal journals and, blogged about their experiences at Projectshanghai.net.
found appreciation of other cultures."
Meyer said they are working on several different multimedia exhibits and primarily presentations. They are working on a feature for the University engineering expo and McGilley said they will be making presentations to donors and the Dean's advisory board, as well as have an exhibit at the high school design competition.
McGilley said the trip and the experience only encompassed a small part of what the overall project entails.
Joey Meyer, a senior from St. Louis, is in charge of the documentaries from the trip.
encompass all pillars of the SELF program, as well as all disciples of engineering.
"We thought 'why not shoot for the stars?"
The $31,000 price tag was paid for through donor support and fundraising. One of the sponsors for the trip, Robert Peebler, is an engineering alum who is currently the CEO of Ion Geophysical in Beijing. Students attended a banquet hosted by Peebler's company while there.
MARKIE MCCONKEY Senior from Lincoln, Neb.
Meyer said the first presentation is Oct. 23 and other documentaries and multimedia aspects of the project will be visible at ProjectShanghai.net and on Youtube.
"I really enjoyed not only meeting with these international companies and seeing places like Google Beijing, but I also enjoyed the business dinners and the etiquette," McConkey said. "It was interesting and gave me a new
McGilley said that in going on this trip, the students and she wanted to make sure that they were able to bring back as much as they could to the University and to the donors that believed in and supported their project.
"We want to give back to students and anyone that could have a possible interest in engineering and what we are doing to help inspire them to see that we have these really neat career fields and that
you can really be a part of this great change that is going to be a part of the world." McGilley said.
Meyer said in the presentations they are primarily focused on how they can translate what they've learned as far as international business goes and really what the expo brought which is engineering topics and innovations.
"As future engineers, it was great to see what new innovations are going on around the world," McConkey said.
Within the projects, Meyer said he wanted to be able to convey a sense of global opportunity, especially in engineering.
"The engineer's role goes far beyond just the United States and we're hoping to bring back that evidence of global opportunity back to the University and say this is what we've learned and this is where we're going." Meyer said.
