KU students involved in weekend drug cases
Police stumble across marijuana paraphernalia
By Scott J. Anderson Kansan staff writer
Three KU students and a Lawrence resident were arrested in three separate possession-of-marjuana cases during the weekend, KU police reported.
In the first case, KU police officers were called at 2:16 a.m. Saturday to Oliver Hall on a reported smell of marijuana, according to police reports. The officers went to room 225. Through the door, they heard two people talking about a bong.
Jason Kang, Creve Coeur. Mo..
freshman, then opened the door, the report said. The officers asked to see the bong they had heard mentioned. Judson Shapiin, Ballwin, Mo., freshman, showed the officers a 2-foot long bong with four hoses and a small blue pine.
Kang and Shaplin were issued notices to appear Dec. 1 in Douglas County District Court, according to the report.
In the second case, a KU officer stopped Melissa Sieloff, St. Paul, Minn., freshman, for speeding at 1:26 a.m. Sunday, the report said. While questioning Sieloff, the officer smelled alcohol on her breath. Sieloff failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Douglas County Jail. Jailers then searched Sieloff and found a possible marijuana pipe.
Sieloff paid a $1,250 bond, according to court documents. She is scheduled to appear Nov. 18 in Douglas County District Court, facing charges of drunken driving and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In the third case, a KU officer stopped David Brower, Lawrence resident, at 2:56 a.m. yesterday at Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive for driving left of the center lane and having an expired license plate.
The officer smelled alcohol on Brower's breath and gave him a field sobriety test, which he failed. When the officer searched Brower, he found a possible drug pipe.
Brower was arrested and taken to the county jail. He paid a $611 bond and is scheduled to appear Nov. 24 in court, facing charges of drunken driving, driving left of the center lane, driving with an expired registration and possession of drug paraphernalia, court documents said.
Group brings a touch of Africa to KU
Showing the continent's 'bright colors' is a goal for student association
By Carlos Tejada
Kansan staff writer
Members of the African Affairs Student Association speak Swahili, Zulu, Hausa, English, French and others as their first language.
But Enid-Mai Jones Frost, Monrovia, Liberia, graduate student and president of the association, said African students had much in common.
"It's just an awareness of we and
Frost, said it. "A love of our land
UNITING TO BE HEARD
and its bright colors."
The association, which began again in 1986 after a period of inaction, provides a meeting place for students from African nations. But it also offers a way for African students to stay in touch with their homeland, Frost said.
"By losing your sense of identity you lose your sense of self, and you become vulnerable," she said.
The association, which has about 80 active members, tries to keep the cultures of Africa alive in Lawrence, Frost said. However, she said, Africa's diversity and large number of
countries make representing each region somewhat difficult. Group activities try to emphasize a different culture each month.
Frost said the association provided a sense of self to individuals in a world where others outnumbered them.
"Every group needs a support," she said. "It's not to promote separatism, but it helps us keep ahold of ourselves."
Last weekend, the association held its first African Culture Night, featuring dancing, clothing and tradition African drumming, Frost said. Next spring, it will hold African Awareness Week. Frost said such functions helped dispel the stereotypes surrounding Africans.
"A lot of people have come a long
way, but some people still consider us savages, running around naked with spears," she said. "But we have our cities and culture as well."
Sandrine Lisk-Anani, Freetown, Sierra Leone, second-year law student, said she joined the association to feel close to people of her culture.
"I feel very much at home when we're around friends with similar cultural experiences," said Lisk-Anani, treasurer of the association.
Lisk-Anani said joining the association was the best way to bring the culture of her faraway land to Kansas.
"I felt it was a good way to promote an awareness of Africa and Sierra Leone," she said. "I felt the purpose was positive, and I wanted to be a part of it."

Better find your mittens: winter's moving this way
By Shan Schwartz Kansan staff writer
It could be another long, harsh winter.
Although the season does not offi-
cally begin until Dec. 21, frosty air and snow flurries in Lawrence make one wonder what this winter will have in store.
A 90-day computer-generated forecast from the National Meteorological Center in Washington, D.C., predicts above-normal precipitation and below-normal temperatures in Kansas from now through January.
"In summary, it could be a cold, snowy period," said Larry Schultz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Toneka.
Schultz said below-normal temperatures were likely because the Canadian jet stream, a high-altitude air current that drives storm systems, was farther south than normal. The jet
stream's position is pushing cold Canadian air into Kansas
The jet stream usually passes through the Northern United States during the summer and shifts to the Southern United States during the winter. The jet stream also was farther south than usual this summer, which resulted in heavy precipitation in the Midwest.
Above-average precipitation forecasts also are because of a phenomenon known as El Niño, Schultz said.
El Niño is a periodical weather pattern caused by unusually warm waters in the southern Pacific Ocean that pushes moisture northward and into the United States. El Niño was a factor in Lawrence's heavy snowfall last winter.
"It appeared that El Niño had tapered off in July and August, but there are signs now that it's getting stronger again," Schultz said.
Winterizing your life A few tips on powering through the winter.

A seminar for mothers and daughters
You'll always be my baby.
Whether you're a mother, a daughter, or both, the bond between a mother and a daughter can be one of the most fulfilling and cherished relationships of a lifetime. However, we also may, at times, wish we could trade our mother or daughter in for a "new and improved" model. But because we can't, we must learn to cope.
Mothers and Daughters: Growing Together, a seminar for mothers and daughters sponsored by The Women's Program at Menninger, will: explore the mother/daughter relationship
- provide ways to communicate effectively with your mother/daughter
- suggest strategies for initiating change in your relationship
