Literary magazine logs on
By Brooke Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new online magazine that accepted creative works from student, faculty and staff last semester will publish its first edition today.
Cody Marrs, Wichita freshman and co-editor of Soaallowing Metis, said although Kiost, a similar creative literary magazine, was published twice a year, another publication was needed.
"They don't publish very many things because it doesn't come out often," Marrs said. "Susillowing Metis will come out every month. It will provide a forum for more people to have their voices heard."
Suollowing Metis prints artwork, poetry, prose and fiction. Marrs said in the future, the editors might develop a creative nonfiction category.
He also said the magazine's online
presence allowed more work to be published.
"This is open to anyone from KU,
be it a student, professor or a janior.
Marrs said. "If it's good work,
we'll take it."
The magazine's name originated from Greek mythology, Marrs said. Metis, whose name means creative intelligence, was impregnated by Zeus. When Zeus found out Metis' offspring would overthrow him, Zeus ate Metis. She stayed in Zeus' body and became his counselor. Metis has always been known as a goddess of wisdom.
Although the online magazine is up and running, Marrs said he wanted to advertise to gain readership and solicit submissions. That's why the editors are asking Student Senate for $302, mostly for advertising fees.
"That's really not very much money," Marrs said. "In order to get a Web site to work properly, you
have to get its name out."
Last week, Senate Finance and University Affairs committees approved the bill. It will go to full Senate for a vote on Wednesday. Justin Marz, engineering senator and co-sponsor of the bill to allocate money, said he was confident it would pass.
"The only concern I heard at committee meetings was what to do about possible University censorship." Marz said.
Censorship was also a concern of co-editors Marrs and Chase Richards, McPherson freshman. However, McRams said the editors would have complete discretion over what was printed.
"Right now, we're the people who decide what gets in," Marrs said. "If we get something that's really offensive to a certain group of people, we're under no obligation to publish it."
Richards originally came up with

the idea for an online creative publication when he was a senior in high school, but limited resources kept him from launching a publication
"When I came here, it dawned on me that this would be a good place to do this," Richards said. "It's been a long process, but I think now it's something I'm becoming proud of."
When Richards met Marrs and Kendall Irwin, Russell sophomore, he said he'd kindred spirits.
"I knew I had some allies," Richards said. "It made it a lot easier."

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT LIFE
"The rules and the laws are the biggest things to get used to," he said. "They have very strong rules in the U.S. when you are under 21."
The biggest transition for Thibaut Fromageau when he came to America wasn't the language or the culture, but the laws.
Fromageau is one of 13 French students studying at the University of Kansas as part of a 12-week program. The students arrived one week before classes began this spring to take courses in English, business and American culture - while learning to live as a KU student.
The students attend a private business school called Negocio in France. As part of their curriculum, they must fulfill an international requirement, and studying here satisfies that requirement.
"We're off to a really good start," said Margaret Coffey, academic program coordinator for the Academy of International Business. "It is truly a language and cultural experience. They are allowing students an opportunity to live, work and study in another cul-

The students begin their studies with business courses that they take in large lecture halls. The courses give them a foreign language opportunity along with American business courses, allowing them to learn English and the intricacies of a different culture at the same time.

"We attract people from all over the world," said John Gergacz, a professor of business, who teaches one class that the French students take. "KU is really a wonderful place to get this international experience. It gives the University a cosmopolitan feel."

Applied English Center as well They have adjunct sessions to help them understand the business courses while learning English.
"We want them to learn about key American values—the idea of privacy, individualism and a future orientation and how these underlying foundations drive behavior." Coffey said.
They also study American culture with a different twist. Coffey has her students go into the community looking at T-shirts, bumper stickers and baseball hats as one assignment. They must then explain the cultural significance of each saying.
Along with these classes, the students must conduct research projects. The presentations will allow students to learn about American businesses.

The team had chartered three planes for the trip. The other two planes, which carried coach Eddie Sutton and the other players on the team, made the trip to Stillwater, Okla. safely.
"It's very likely that it was weather-related, but there's a whole cadre of things that it could have been," said Gary Johnson, Stillwater, Okla, airport manager, of the crash's cause.
Oklahoma's game against Texas Tech, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed indefinitely. A memorial service is expected to take place as soon as Thursday at Gallager-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.

"He was just a fantastic guy. I had a lot of respect for him," German said.
