Art sent to KU police mistaken for bomb
KU police received a suspicious looking package in the mail yesterday. Set, Chris Keary said.
Anna Lunaria massages a client at the Lunaria Center, 1000 New York St. Lunaria said that massage could reduce the body's physical stress.
The box, addressed to the University of Kansas in care of the Lawrence Police Department, looked suspicious because of unusual packaging, writing and items that were taped to the box, Keary said. KU police said they thought it might have been a bomb
Keary said that KU police took the package to a field in west campus where the bomb unit of the Overland Park Police Department opened it. The package contained small, homemade artwork.
Keary said the box was mailed from another state, but he would not say which one. KU police still have the box and plan to investigate why the sender packaged the artwork in a strange manner.
Keary said that anyone receiving a package in the mail that looked unusual should treat it cautiously. He said skeptical packages could have too much postage, no return address, substances leaking from the package, sound coming from the package or unusual addressing, such as the wrong title or name.
Caller silently harasses student with daily dials
A KU student has been receiving harassing phone calls for almost a month, KU police said.
The student told the police Monday that for more than 3 1/2 weeks she had received calls during which all she heard was silence. She said the caller had never said anything, but she thought the caller stayed on the line and listened.
The woman told police that the harassment occurred once a day and that the calls were coming from off campus.
—Kansan staff reports
Officer Gayle Reece said that police did not have a suspect. Reece said that phone calls like this were common when a victim had recently broken up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, but she said that did not apply in this case.
Nonconformist writer sought after bombings
ATLANTA - One angry man - not a group - probably wrote the letter claiming responsibility for the bombings of an abortion clinic and a gay and lesbian nightclub, handwriting experts said.
The writer is a racist and is against feminists, gays and law enforcement, said Michael Rustigan, a criminalology professor at San Francisco State University.
The letter, sent to various news outlets in Atlanta in February, was rumored to be from the Army of God, a name associated with an underground manual on terrorizing abortion clinics.
However, investigators have questioned the authenticity of the letter's claim of responsibility for twin blasts at the clinic in January and the Feb. 21 bombing of the nightclub, which injured a total of 12 people.
It probably was written by one methodical and systematic person, a rural or suburban type with spotty employment, Rustigan said.
"The war here is not specifically against gays or abortion facilities," he said. "It's a general militia theme of hatred of a government."
"He doesn't want to follow society's rules." Lane said.

Rubbing you the right way
Massage therapy can reduce stress by distributing harmful hormones throughout body
By Emily Vrabac Kansan staff writer
Mid-term stress can take its toll with long hours of studying and worrying. Students have an easy, relaxing solution to their tension. They can have their stress literally rubbed away by a professional massage therapist.s
Massage therapy is quickly becoming a popular stress relief technique for people of all ages. Besides various massage methods, massage therapists are trained in basic anatomy and physiology, so they understand how the body functions and will respond to touch.
Anna Lunaria, massage therapist and owner of the Lunaria Center, 1000 New York St. said that clients wanted messages for a variety of reasons.
"A fair amount of people are coming because it's part of their stress management program," she said. "Others just come because it feels good."
Lunaria said that massage actually reduced the body's physical stress mechanisms while relaxing the client.
"When the body is under stress, it releases hormones that can do damage to the body over time," she said.
Lymph nodes are stimulated by the massage and absorb any metabolic waste that is loosened from the muscles. Massage can circulate those stress hormones to be eventually expelled through the lymph system.
"Circulation in the lymph can lead to production of white blood cells, which improves the immune system," Lunaria said.
Sandy Bowman, a physical therapist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she often used massages to treat injuries.

Some students are looking to massage for stress relief. The average cost of a massage in Lawrence is $40 an hour.
it's usually to an isolated area rather than a general massage," Bowman said. "We use massage as another form of treatment."
Bowman said that massages could help muscle spasms and strained muscles by bringing blood to the affected area to help the injury heal. Some students have problems that can benefit from more frequent massage, she said.
"A lot of times we'll suggest that they get a massage periodically from a masseuse in town." Bowman said.
"Unfortunately, in Lawrence there are no laws that require a certain number of hours of training to do massage," she said. "The most important thing is finding out what kind of training people have."
Students should be careful about where they get a massage because not all massage practitioners are certified or experienced, Lunaria said. She said she had 700 hours of experience, but that many massage therapists in the area have far less.
"When you are getting a massage, you really shouldn't look for a bargain because it's you body," she said.
Because of that, Lunaria said that comparing prices might not be the best way to choose a massage therapist.
Lunaria said that the average price for a massage in Lawrence was about $40 for an hour.
She said that when calling for massage appointments, students might not

"Good massage therapists are usually busy, so be patient," she said.
be able to get in right away.
Lunaria said that massage had a basic premise that all people should consider in their daily lives.
"Touch is a universal language that communicates love and caring," she said. "For some reason, touch is missing from our society. If you can't afford a professional massage, start trading with your partner or your roommate."
Alumni may be limited on Board of Regents
Bill would equalize school representation
By Ann Marchand Kansan staff writer
Representation of the University of Kansas on the Board of Regents soon may be in jeopardy if a bill by Sen. Barbara Lawrence, R-Wichita, passes the Kansas Legislature.
The bill would mandate that no institution could have more than two alumni members on the Board at any one time. Until every institution was represented, members could not be appointed or reappointed if they were alumni of an institution already represented.
"I feel that in many ways the representation on the Board has not been equal," Lawrence said. "It is very heavily weighted toward KU, and some of the other institutions have been fairly well
tions have been fairly well left out in recent years."
Out in recent years.
Five of the nine Regents are graduates of the University of Kansas. Two Regents graduated from Kansas State University, one graduated from Fort Hays State University, and one graduated from Wichita State University.
Regent Sylvia Robinson holds one degree from the University of Kansas and one degree from K-State.
Regent Phyllis Nolan did not graduate from a Regents institution. She holds degrees from the University of Nebraska and Rockhurst College.
Two Regents institutions, Emporia State University and Pittsburg State University, are not represented by alumni.

But Stephen Jordan, executive director of the Board of Regents, said that changing the membership requirements to provide institutional representation would not be the best solution.
"When Regents are appointed now, it's not because of their relationship to a university," he said. "The Regents who come onto the Board right now have an approach—their position is that they are responsible to all six universities. If we start appointing people from all six, they may view it as a much different role."
Jordan said that if such a bill passed, Regents may become more territorial and fight for their alma maters instead of working to improve all Regents institutions.
Rep. Troy Findley, D-Lawrence, said such a change may not be justified and that the Regents would face reorganization when the Legislature tackled the issue of overall higher education governance.
"I can understand the desires of the individual institutions, that there needs to be a balance and change the way their needs are heard," he said. "But I definitely think there needs to be a reason before you make a substantive change."
Two Regents, John Hiebert and Sidney Warner, are serving on the Board even though their terms expired in December. They will serve until Gov. Bill Graves reappoints them or appoints others to the Board.
Mike Matson, press secretary for Graves, said that the appointments would be made before the end of the legislative session. But Matson gave no indication whether Graves would reapoint the two current members.
"He wants there to be a good gender mix, a good ethnic mix," Matson said. "He wants the Board to reflect the state of Kansas as a whole."
Owner of The Wheel dead at age 57
John Wooden dies while playing golf
By Kevin Bates Kansan staff writer
The owner of The Wagon Wheel Cafe, 507 W.14th St., a popular bar for many KU students and Lawrence residents, died Tuesday in Palm Springs, Calif.
John Wooden, 57, died while he was playing golf on vacation.
Carter Voekel, manager of the bar, said he thought Wooden had died from a heart attack. He said he and Wooden had talked in person or on
"He made a lot of people's college careers possible by just giving them a job," Voekel said. "He taught me a lot about responsibility. He was more than just a boss."
the phone every dav.
Tim Hommertzheim, Pratt senior and bartender at the bar, said he had heard Tuesday about Wooden's death. He said he had been shocked but was glad to have known him, if even for a short time.
"I've only worked since the beginning of January, so I didn't get to know him as well as some other people," Hommertzheim said. "But I'm lucky I got to know him when I did. He was the best employer I've ever had."
"He really tried to get to know you," he said. "He would try to throw me off by asking me a new question each day. The last time I saw him he asked me how much I thought I had changed since high school. I told him I was still working on it."
Wooden tried to develop good relationships with his employees, Hormertzheim said.
A wreath was placed yesterday near the corner booth above the seat Wooden always sat in when he played cards with his friends during the lunch hour.
"That's when most people would come in to see him," he said. "Everyone couldn't help but love the guy."

A service will be held for Wooden at 10 a.m. Saturday in Murphy Hall.
"It was a happening place," said Kirk Peters, a 1995 graduate and former patron. "I'd usually go with a bunch of the same friends. We all liked the atmosphere it had."
