Sperm stream spotted by student in the stacks
A KU student said she saw a man masturbating in the Watson Library stacks Saturday when she was studying, KU police said.
Police said the woman reported seeing someone behind her in the reflection of a glass window. When she turned around and looked, she said she heard someone move back
She couldn't see anyone, police said, but she saw a stream of ejaculate coming from behind a book-shelf in the 3.1/2 west stack.
Police said the woman could not see the man, but she thought he was hiding behind the bookshelf behind her.
After the man ejaculated and the woman turned around, police said, the man ran down the stairway to the next level.
Officer Gayle Reece said she thought this was the first incident of this kind this semester.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Al Gore, under fire for his aggressive role in campaign fundraising, acknowledged yesterday that he solicited donations from his White House office but insisted he did not do anything wrong. But he said he would never do it again.
Gore claims fund-raising practice was legal, fair
"Everything I did, I understood to be lawful," Gore said, adding that he made only a few calls in search of contributions from his office, around the corner from the Oval Office. It is illegal for federal employees to solicit money in federal buildings, but Gore said he was not subject to that restriction.
He defended his actions in a White House news conference, markedly different from his occasional appearances on behalf of administration initiatives. This time, Gore was trying to protect his political honor as he looks ahead to the presidential race in 2000.
Accusation of files theft latest in bombing saga
DENVER — Timothy McVeigh's lawyer demanded an investigation yesterday of The Dallas Morning News, accusing the newspaper of stealing hundreds of files from his computer, including a purported confession from McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bombing defendant
Stephen Jones, while denying that the statement was in fact a confession, said, "There is no justification whatever for this criminal act."
A Morning News lawyer said the newspaper had not broken the law and had nothing to fear from the investigation.
Jones said the newspaper had broken into the defense's computer files and had obtained hundreds of documents for McVeigh and co-defendant Terry Nichols, as well as 25,000 FBI files. Jones offered no proof that theft was committed, and said he was considering asking for a 90-day delay in the trial as a cooling off period.

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will not be participating in Rock Chalk Revue next weekend after an alleged hazing incident last week.

The fraternity has been placed on interim suspension by the office of Vice Chancellor David Ambler following allegations of excessive drinking that led to one freshman member being taken to the hospital.
Alpha Delta Pi left to find substitute
It is unclear at this time whether the members of Pi Kappa Alpha will receive recognition for the community service they performed for Rock Chalk Revue.
Pi Kappa Alpha out of Revue
"ADPI has come this far, and we've worked very hard," she said. "And we're not going to give up."
"It's a very serious offense," said James Kitchen, dean of student life.
Todd Guerrieri, Lake Forest, Ill. senior and president of Pl Kappa Alpha, said he was concerned mainly about the women of Alpha Delta Pl.
Judd thought the fraternity should receive credit for its hard work but that Rock Chalk Revue should stay within the confines of the interim suspension, Judd said.
"I think it's unfair to the women to be punished for actions that they did not commit," Guerrieri said. "ADPI is suffering for doing absolutely nothing wrong."
"It's something that, very easily, someone could have gotten seriously hurt. There will be a hearing, and we're going to investigate this."
Pi Kappa Alpha will remain on interim suspension until the hearing has concluded. Kitchen said the hearing date had not been set yet.
The decision to exclude Pi Kappa Alpha from Rock Chalk Revue was made by Revue advisers. Kitchen said the administration stood behind that decision.
"I don't believe that we can start deviating or making exceptions just because they're participating in Rock Chalk." he said.
Pi Kappa Alpha was paired with Alpha Delta Pi sorority for the Revue. The two groups had been practicing their skit *Digging for*

Gold since early last fall.
Reagan Jadam, executive director of Rock Chalk Revue, said the skit would be performed without the men of Pi Kappa Alpha.
The cast members have been practicing about 10 hours each week. Pugh said.
"We are currently looking for alternative members to join Alpha Delta Pi on stage." Judd said.
"It would be extremely hard to catch up at this point," she said.
About 10 to 15 men are needed to perform in the skit. Any interested students may participate on a volunteer basis.
The volunteers do not have to be in a fraternity. Judd said that any student was eligible — except a member of Pi Kappa Alpha.

"If it was up to me, I want to give Pike all the credit they deserve, but we don't know how to approach that just yet," Judd said. "ADPI is obviously one of the victims here."
Sleeplessness saps students' spunk
Alcohol and caffeine may cause insomnia
By Emily Vrabac Kansan staff writer
The countdown to the 8 a.m. alarm is on, as it is every night. Roll over, look at the clock. It is 3 a.m. Five more hours. Those five hours become four hours, and so on until the alarm goes off at 8, and the day begins even though the night hasn't ended.
Insomnia is a common problem students experience occasionally, and there are many possible reasons for this.
"If you're getting enough sleep, you should be able to go to bed at night and wake up shortly before your alarm," said Linda Keeler, a psychiatrist with Counseling and Psychological Services.
If this is not the case, several possibilities should be examined.
"Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol are probably the big three substances that will affect sleep," Keeler said.
She said those and other recreational drugs had a direct effect on the brain, changing its biochemistry and leading to a disruption of sleep patterns.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said caffeine could take several hours to clear from the body's system, keeping the brain alert even when the body wants to sleep.
"If you are sensitive to caffeine, you need to cut that out early in the evening." Rock said.
Keeler said the key to sleep was a brain chemical called serotonin, which is produced with materials found in complex carbohydrate foods. Consequently, a change in diet that eliminates or reduces the number of complex carbohydrates can lead to difficulty sleeping.
"If you don't take in the building blocks, you can't get the raw materials for serotonin," Keeler said.
Sorotzonu also affects the transfer of information from short-term to long-term memory, she said. Because of this, it is better to go to bed early and wake up early to study instead of staying up late or studying all night.
Permanent or temporary anxiety can cause students to lie in bed awake at night.
Other sleep problems are not temporary. Rock said chronic sleep problems often could indicate
Why can't I sleep?
Insomnia
Change in activity level. Exercise should be at least three hours before bedtime.
Not consuming enough complex carbohydrates, such as breads and other starchy foods.
Alcohol, caffeine or nicotine use.
Anxiety about an event.
What can I do to fall asleep?
Exercise three times a week with a brisk walk or aerobic activity. Research shows that exercise leads to deeper and longer sleep. Exercise at least three hours before bedtime.
■ Include pasta and bread in meals or snacks on a regular basis
Avoid or at least limit use of alcoholic beverages, drinks containing caffeine and smoking.
- Wind down before bed, using soft music,
  light reading or a warm bath or shower.
Make sure the bedroom is dark and quiet
physical problems such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, urinary tract infections or depression.
"If people can't break that sleep pattern, they need to get help." he said.
Keeler and Rock suggested ways to establish good sleeping patterns.
Keeler said she recommended students create a regular routine at night, including setting a target bedtime and sticking to it.
Rock said students' weekend sleeping patterns should match the patterns they follow during the week. If they go to bed at midnight and wake up at 8 during the week, they should do the same on weekends.
"Maybe alter it by an hour or so, but beyond that, it makes you experience jet lag without leaving Douglas County," Rock said. "Your body really does like consistency."
Rock said using the weekend to catch up on sleen was not a good idea.
Rock and Keeler said students should take time to relax and clear their minds before they went to bed.
"They should plan not to get behind in the first place," he said.
"Try to really give your body a message to switch gears and wind down," Keeler said.
Light reading, soft music and a warm bath or shower are wares to relax at night before sleep.

University won't give funds to Hilltop
By Dave Morantz
Kansan staff writer
But today, high demand for child care has made Hilltop inadequately small. The building across from the Kansas Union holds about 150 children, with200 children on a waiting list. Its tiny playground washes away in rain storms, and sewage comes up through toilets.
In the '70s, the administration had trouble turning a deaf ear to student demands. From the protests of KU women, the February Sisters, Hilltop Child Development Center was created to provide child care to children of University faculty and students.
"It's really hard when you're potty training someone, and this stuff comes up the toilet," said Nancy Golden, Lawrence resident and Hilltop employee.
Although a plan for a new center designed to hold 308 children has been drawn, the administration has responded to a Student Senate
request for funds by saying it cannot afford to partially pay for the center.
That decision has left Hilltop's directors desperate for a solution and Student Senate strapped to finance the new building. For the last two years, students have paid a $2 campus fee that goes toward a fund marked for the construction of a new child-care facility. As of last fall, about $250,000 had been collected.
Provost David Shulenburger said that after reviewing the costs of the proposed center, it was discovered that the $2 fee would not produce enough money.
Senate recognized that student fees may go up and responded by passing a resolution last fall asking the administration to fund at least 30 percent of the new facility.
After several negotiations between Hiltop's directors and the administration, David Amber, vice chancellor, told Senate two weeks ago that the University could not afford to finance the center because it was not able to find a private
donts and that same precautions.
Hilton was told about the decision last week.
donor and had other priorities.
Shulenburger said that although he believed the center was a good idea, higher priorities such as teaching and research facilities demanded the University's money.
"We are very disappointed that the University administration has chosen not to go forward with plans for the new child-care facility at this time," said Pat Pisani, Hilltop programming director, in a prepared statement yesterday. "A decision to go ahead with this project would be a much-needed sign that this University cares about its people and their families."
Grey Montgomery, student body president, favors a compromise. His plan would finance construction of a smaller, 200-child center by raising student fees to $4. This, he estimated, would pay for about 60 percent of the cost. The remaining money would come from a University contribution and a raise of faculty rates at Hilltop.
