Alternative Flash Back

Brownback asks students to evaluate their beliefs
By Teresa Veazey
Kansan staff writer
Moses wandered the wilderness for 40 years, and that's how long it took Republicans to get control of Congress.
U. S. Rep. Sam Brownback, a first-year Republican representative, told KU students that he wasn't even 40 years old. Brownback, who visited the University yesterday, talked with two political science classes and with the department's faculty about his experiences in his first year in Congress.
"The American political landscape has changed," he said. "Part of the Republican shift in Congress is the emerging of fiscal and social conservatives."
He asked students to stand up if they were born in 1969, the last time the country had a balanced budget. Only three out of about 300 stood up.
the other side he wrote "conservative." He asked students to raise their hands as he moved from one side of the chalkboard to the other.
On one side of the chalkboard, Brownbown wrote "liberal" and on
Sam Brownback
"I want each of you to think about your
own political philosophy," Brown-back said. "Ask yourselves 'where am I on this continuum?'
Brownback, who represents the east quarter of Kansas, excluding the Kansas City area, said no two constituents were alike. He found that representing everyone's opinion was tough to do.
"I thought, 'you can figure out a middle ground on these issues,'" he said. "The problem is, how do you get middle ground on abortion or the death penalty?"
Ken Collier, assistant professor of political science, whose class Brownback visited, said he wanted to bring his students closer to an elected official. Collier said he thought that students would connect better with the congressman if they could see him in person.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said he wanted to show his students, who were visited by Brownback, that they should communicate their interests to their representatives. Unfortunately, Loomis said, most students don't care about politics.
"Nationally, incoming freshman have less interest in government than students from 20 to 30 years ago," he said. "It's an easy cynicism. They know very little, and they assume the worst."
Brownback said that he was disappointed that most college students felt the best years of their lives were ahead, but that the country's best years were behind it.
Screening can help students understand eating disorders
This is the second story in a series about National Eating Disorders Awareness Week
By Teresa Veazey Kansan staff writer
It can rob the best years of life.
For students with eating disorders, college can be a difficult time because of the overwhelming control of the obsession, said Ann Gabrick, program manager of the eating disorders unit at Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Counseling and Psychological Services and Watkins Memorial Health Center will provide an information program and anonymous screening today, in conjunction with National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
More than 500 universities are participating in the national eating disorders screening, including Oklahoma State University and the University of Nebraska.
"There's a reason college students are targeted," said Ann Chapman, Watkins student health services dietitian. "This is where the problem is at its greatest." Chapman said going to college was the first time many students were away from home and didn't have anyone to tell them when or what to eat. Eating disorders
which usually begin in high school, may intensify in college because of stress and because students were responsible for their own eating habits.
The program, which includes a lecture, video and free screening, was not designed to tell people if they had an eating disorder but would give an idea if their eating patterns and behavior were harmful.
"This will not provide a diagnosis," Chapman said. "This will help pinpoint individuals who may be at risk for developing an eating disorder."
By providing a free and anonymous screening, students can have a better picture about whether their eating habits could lead to serious health problems.
"This is very important because eating disorders or problems that lead up to them have very serious mental and physical health consequences," said Jennifer Kennedy, director of the eating disorders program at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka. "The screening becomes important because eating disorders and medical complications that can go with them are very treatable."
Kennedy said that treatment begins with questions about what the problems are and how they started. But this first step can be the most difficult.
For students who believe they have a friend with an eating disorder, Kennedy said the program also will help them learn about the problems, the risks and the help that is available, including tips on how to be supportive of a friend who has an eating disorder.
Law strikes sour note with musician
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence man is hoping to get the city to change its tune on street musicians in downtown Lawrence.
Tom Miller, Lawrence resident and musician, wrote a letter to the city manager's office Tuesday asking the city to legalize playing music for money on Massachusetts street.
The city now makes no distinction between street musicians and beggars. The penalty for begging is a fine of up to $500 and six months in jail.
and someone who is providing music for the public's enjoyment.
Miller proposed in his letter that the ordinance for licensing street vendors be amended to include open-air musicians and lecturers. Miller said a distinction should be made between someone who is begging for money
"I have been around and around on the issue of panhandling with the city. So, I decided we need to change the ordinance," he said.
"The license would allow anyone to use the public right of way to play music as long as they don't cause trouble," Miller said. "The ordinance change would cause additional cultural activity as well as letting me earn a little bread."
Assistant city manager Rod Bremby said the request would be sent to the legal offices for studying and a report would than be sent to the commission, who would decide whether to place it on the city commission agenda.
Commissioner Jo Andersen said
she already had received a call from a concerned citizen about problems street musicians might pose on downtown atmosphere and accessibility.
"People care a whole lot about what we do with downtown," she said. "We will listen to the constituents and listen to downtown Lawrence. We wouldn't want to do anything that would harm the area."
Joel Ashmore, an employee at Whitey's Music's, 1007 Massachusetts St., and musician in a local band, open air musicians would only enhance downtown Lawrence.
"I would love to see people playing downtown and kids could come, instead of having to pay $5 to go to a bar where it is smoky and you can't take your kids inside."
