CORRECTIONS
Monday's The University Daily Kansas contained an error. In the story, "Protesters question Moore", U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) did not say "I don't know how much your opinion counts."
An article in yesterday's The University Daily Kanian needs clarification. The article "Benefit concert second part of funding for Hawk House" could be interpreted as saying the Hawk House would be built on 25th and Harper streets. There currently is no site for the Hawk House, 25th and Harper streets was a location of a previous donation. The article also contained an error. It stated continuation of the can collect- ing project would go to the completion of the house. This is not the case. The money has not yet been assigned to a project. The article also misspeled the band

Self fellowship director fired, sues University amid charges
The University of Kansas is being sued for unlawful termination by a former employee, The Lawrence Journal World reported yesterday.
Danette Michaels' contract was not renewed in December. Michaels was the director of the Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellowship, a program designed to promote leadership roles in science, engineering, economics and business. She had been director since 1996, five years after the program began
Michaels said she was fired after saying that the Fellowship was trying to decrease the number of women in the program.
Despite Michaels' allegations, the Fellowship is primarily dominated by women. Of the 76 scholarships that the Fellowships has given, 45 have been women. All the students to receive a scholarship for the 2003-2004 academic year were women.
