Former Hallmark employee charges unlawful termination
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former employee at Hallmark Cards Inc. has filed a lawsuit accusing the greeting card company of age discrimination.
Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., junior, and Lindsay Poe, Wichita senior, watched the debate between the University of Kansas Young Democrats and the University of Kansas College Republicans last night. "I'm impressed with the debate and how well each side is handling themselves." Moss said.

Mary Kay Morrow, a product manager in the seasonal cards department and employed by Hallmark for more than 20 years, filed the lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City, Mo. on Jan. 5. Hallmark then filed a motion asking the court to compel Morrow to arbitrate her claims.
Morrow, who was 50 when she was fired last April, had worked at the Kansas City-based company for about 20 years, her lawyers said. Her last position was as a product manager in the seasonal cards department.
"We believe that Hallmark has violated the Missouri Human Rights Act by engaging in a pattern and practice of systemic age discrimination," said Mark A. Jess, one of Morrow's lawyers.
Hallmark spokeswoman Julie O'Dell said Morrow's accusations were unfounded.
"We don't believe her claim has any merit." O'Dell said.
She said the company could not comment on the case further because it was still pending.

Ear-splitting technology protects soldiers, civilians
The great debate
NEW YORK — U.S. soldiers in Iraq have new gear for dispersing hostile crowds and warding off potential enemy combatants. It blasts ears splitting noise in a directed beam.
The equipment, called a Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, is a so-called "non-lethal weapon" developed to keep operators of small boats from approaching U.S. warships.
The Army and Marines have added this auditory barrage dispenser to their
arms ensembles. Troops in Fallujah, a center of insurgency west of Baghdad, and other areas of central Iraq often deal with crowds in which enemies intermingle with civilians.
The developer of the LRAD, American Technology Corp. of San Diego, recently got a $1.1 million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to buy the gadgets for units deployed to Iraq. The Army also sent LRADs to Iraq to test on vehicles.
Carl Gruenler, vice president of military and government operations for.
American Technology Corp., said LRADs are "in the beginnings of being used in Baghdad," though he said he lacked "initial feedback" on how they are working.
Dubbed "The Sound of Force Protection" in a company brochure, the devices can broadcast sound files containing warning messages. Or they can be used with electronic translating devices for what amounts to "narrowcasting."
