Dole aide asked for apology

An aide to Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, made a remark Thursday that caused Mary Loveland, Lawrence school board member, to write a letter to Dole requesting a public anology.
Greg Schnacke, a Dole aide, spoke at a Lawrence Chamber of Commerce program at the Adams Alumni Center.
Ann Wilkund, Chamber director of membership and communications, said the program was designed to inform community leaders about events in Washington. Between 25 and 30 people attended, she said.
Loveland and said Schnacke was asked about Washington D.C. mayor Marion Barry, who has been charged
with cocaine possession, conspiracy and perjury.
"His response was that in Kansas we deal with such people with ropes and trees," Loveland said.
She said the comment could be construed as a reference to the lynching of Blacks, and that she wrote a letter to apologize for Schutke's remark.
"No one is quibbling that he made the statement," she said. "They are saying that he's not a racist. I didn't accuse him of being a racist. I accused him of making a racist statement."

Schnacke was unavailable for comment.
ment.
In a statement issued yesterday, Dole said, "Based on the information I have received, Greg Snacke"
remarks were inappropriate. He works hard for Kansas and I know he regrets what he said in any context. Still, when he returns to Washington, I'll be meeting personally with him about it."
Mike Wilden, Lawrence city manager, who also attended the meeting, said he did not think the comment was racially motivated.
"Her impression was not my impression," he said.
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, also was present.
"I thought some of his comments were rather casual," Brinkman said. "But I just didn't read it in that way."

Hubble telescope has continuing problems
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After seven weeks in space, the Hubble Telescope still gets the shakes on each of the nearly 15 sunrises and sunsets it encounters a day, and it gets a sudden memory loss in a region known as the South.
while the problems can't be fixed, engineers are preparing computer commands to counter the effects, Jean Olivier, one of NASA's top telescope engineers said Monday.
"This solar array dynamics is beginning to rear its head as a limiting factor in our ability to effectively carry this work out," Olivier said. "We probably would have been along further than we are today."
The two 40-feet-long solar arrays, which convert sunlight into electricity, cause a vibration in the telescope each time it passes from day to night and from night to day. The problem has persisted since the Hubble was put into orbit on April 25.
"Until we get this corrected — we are in the process of working the changes to the software — we are kind of hampered in our efficiency."
The telescope circles the earth at an altitude of 281 miles every 97 minutes — 14.8 times a day — encountering a sunrise and sunset each time. The vibration lasts up to six minutes each time the instrument passes from day to night and 20 minutes going from night to day.

Come into Pup's Grill on Ninth and Indiana and get a free burger with the purchase of a sandwich of equal value, large fries and a large drink. Now what you do with that extra burger is entirely up to you, but possible suggestions may include: 1. Place it on a pedestal to gawk, stare and otherwise idolize. 2. Use as bookend for "uncracked" calculus texts. 3. Create the illusion that you are generously settling an old food debt.

USING IT WON'T KILL YOU.
NOT USING IT MIGHT.
Maybe you don't like using condoms. But if you're going to have a sex, three condoms with a spermicide is your best protection against the AIDS virus.
So we every time you need them to finish according to the manufacturer's instructions, no one has ever been curled of AIDS. Even more than 40,000 Americans have already died from it.
Even if you don't use condoms, using them is definitely better than HELP STOP AIDS. USE A CONDOM.
