A $10,000 scholarship fund has been set up in the memory Marvin M. Cox, a former state senator from Kingman.
Scholarship established in memory of alumnus
The fund was established by Cox's sister, Virginia Jean Cox Mitchell, and her husband, William Mitchell, both Lawrence residents. The scholarship will be awarded to qualified KU undergraduates from Kingman County who are pre-business or business students
William L. Fuerst, dean of the School of Business, said he was grateful to the Mitchells for their donation.

He represented Kingman in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1947 to 1956, and as a state senator from 1965 to 1988.

ROTC to honor former naval science professors
The University of Kansas ROTC will honor its professors of naval science today at 3:30 p.m.
Six of the former professors will return to the University for the ceremony in the ROTC lounge of the Military Science building. During the ceremony, a plaque honoring all the previous professors of naval science will be unveiled.
The ROTC program was established at the University in 1946. Captain Bill Howell, marine officer instructor, said it was important to honor the mem-
pers of the University's ROTC program.
"These are people who have given to the country and allow people to have the freedom they have today," Howell said. "They've served in World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and Bosnia-Hertzegovina, and we wanted to say thank-you to those people."

Student injured in fight listed in fair condition
A student who was in a coma Friday after a fight, in a downtown alley was listed in fair condition yesterday but remained hospitalized, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said.
Micah Ryan Gaches, Lenexa freshman, was standing in a city parking lot with friends when two men, who were seeking revenge for an attack on their friend, arrived and hit and kicked Gaches until he was unconscious. Gaches was not the one who attacked the men's friend in the earlier incident.
The fight started when the men's friend made derogatory comments about a woman in Gaches' group.
Patrick said police had no description of the suspects, who were driving a white car. The investigation continues.

Jean Carnahan named Missouri's next senator
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Roger Wilson appointed Jean Carnahan to become Missouri's next U.S. senator in place of her husband, Mel Carnahan, who won the Nov. 7 election after his death in a plane crash.
The appointment is effective Jan. 3, the date new senators are sworn in. Wilson said Monday he signed it early to allow Jean Carnahan to participate in freshman senator orientation in Washington, which began yesterday.

timing and flair. He said he will decide soon about challenging the nation's current leader, Ehud Barak, who trounced him in elections only a year and a half ago.
Republican Jean Carnahan, 66, has been setting up her office in Washington and was not in Jefferson City for Monday's appointment, but Wilson said he talked to her earlier in the day.
During that period, the fortunes of the two rivals have reversed, with polls showing that if elections were held today, Netanyahu would be the big winner.
Barak has reluctantly agreed to early elections under pressure from his rebellious parliament. No date has been set, but party leaders are aiming for May.

Radiation detected at Russian power plant
MOSCOW — Workers at a Russian nuclear power plant detected higher-than-normal radiation levels yesterday in soil on the plant's territory, a representative for Russia's state nuclear power company said.
The radiation came from a leaking water pipe attached to the cooling system of two reactors at the Novovoronezh plant, about 300 miles south of Moscow.
The reactors have been out of service for a decade.
Rosenergoat representative Konstantin Romburger did not say how high the radiation level was, but he said it did not pose a danger to surrounding areas.
Still, authorities sealed off the area with barbed wire and posted signs about the radiation risk while a commission studied the cause of the leak, he said.

Cohen increases Gulf port security
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary William Cohen has authorized military commanders to send dozens of additional U.S. forces to the Persian Gulf to strengthen port security, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
The move is part of a Pentagon effort to improve the protection of American ships and other military forces in the region in the aftermath of the Oct. 12 terrorist bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.
The day the Cole was attacked, U.S. Navy commanders in the Middle East ordered all ships
out of port and they have not returned since. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said yesterday "there is a great desire" to ease the security restrictions "to have a more comfortable and relaxed standard of living, if you will, for our sailors and marines in that area, and yet the first priority has to be force protection."
To strengthen port security in the Gulf, Cohen authorized the deployment of extra Navy and Coast Guard security personnel. Quigley said.
The Navy, meanwhile, said the heavily damaged Cole is due to arrive back in the United
States next week.
States like. The Cole, which lost 17 sailors in the suicide bombing, has been in transit from the Middle East since early November aboard a Norwegian-owned heavy lift ship. It will be offloaded at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., for repairs that are expected to take one year and cost roughly $240 million.
Adm. Vern Clark, the chief of naval operations, said one of the toughest issues raised by the Cole attack is how the Navy can better improve the security of its ships in foreign ports without violating the sovereign interests of host nations.
