Social welfare grant will fund study of women and violence
The National Institute of Justice has awarded $250,000 to a School of Social Welfare project, which will study the effects of violence against women. The project, "Violence and Victimization: Women's Histories of Survival," is one of six projects chosen from across the country for funding.

"We think it's one of a kind," said Margaret Severson, associate professor of social welfare. "We are anxious to get on with it, and we've got great response and support from our community partners and the Department of Corrections."
Severson and Judy Postnus, assistant professor of social welfare, will lead the project.
Severson said that they were making final changes to the survey which they will use to interview approximately 500 women. They will begin interviewing the women in March and will look at why some female survivors of violence become incarcerated while others do not. During a period of two years, researchers will also explore help-seeking patterns and processes.
Researchers want to use their findings to help service providers, advocates and policy makers to create programs that will build on women's strengths.

100-day adult store vigil ends
STATE
ABILENE — A Dickinson County group ended its 100-day vigil in front of an adult-oriented business along Interstate 70. Protestors held signs warning truckers they would notify their bosses if they went inside.
On Sunday, about 80 people gathered near the store to end the project. A billboard, 32 feet by 12 feet, was unveiled which read, "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3, Pornography destroys families."

The construction of a satellite Kansas Union, a dead issue for more than three years, may be revived, according to Steve Warren, president of Student Union Activities.
The proposal for a branch union was made in 1966 and finally rejected by a student referendum in April 1970.

Speeders on the campus will find the going tougher under a new traffic safety program being set up by the campus police in an effort to crack down on violators of the University's 20-miles-per-hour regulation.
Speed checks have been run regularly since last week, but only warnings have been issued to offenders. However, Joe Skillman, campus police chief, said arrests soon will be
made in these areas: Sunnyside Avenue, Jayhawk Drive in front of the Union, Sunflower Road, and West Campus Road.
WANTED: By the faculty of the department of zoology, one possum dog. Great consternation exists in the basement of Snow Hall. It's all because Van's dog is a coon dog instead of a possum dog.
