Rosita Dorsey, director of minority affairs, said she was hopeful that the bill would be passed. "Any money for minority students is needed, welcomed," Dorsey said. "KU's a good school. There's not enough minority students at higher educational institutions anywhere in the nation." The University of Kansas enrolled 1,597 minority students out of 26,020 undergraduate and graduate students during the 1988 fall semester. Milton Scott, assistant director of admissions, said that there were two awards given to minority students. There "We do need to come up with better financial assistance and bring brighter students here." Scotte said. "With some of us it's a big burden. The University can try to bridge the financial gap so the student can attend KU." are 137 students in both the KU Endowment Merit Program and the Honors Program as of this semester David Amble, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that he was pleased the Legislature recognized the need for minority scholarships, and that the University would work with them to make the bill viable. with them to make the best "We want to attract and keep the talented minority students in the Regents institutions of Kansas," Ambler said. Bands get exposure at open mike '60s-influenced music in Lawrence and build the band's reputation. - Continued from p. 1 "I like open mike because there's an audience," Fleming said. But the Sleep isn't the only band looking for a Lawrence audience. Peter Helmkamp, bassist and vocalist for Order From Chaos, said his band had wanted to play in Lawrence for a long time but did not have the contacts needed to set up pigs. Mike Miller, drummer, and Chuck Keller, lead guitarist, are the other members of the Kansas City, Mo., band. The group listed above is one thing from classical to the groups Metallica and Skinny Puppy. "We like to think we're not your average death-metal band," Keller said. Average or not, the variety of bands seems to keep the audience interested. Tiger Marion, Lawrence resident, said that open mike gave a lot of good bands the chance to be seen, some for the first time. "I think it takes a lot of guts to get up there," he said. Doak Felix, Wichita senior, also said he appreciated the bands' efforts. "No matter how good or bad it is, there's nothing like live rock-'n'roll," he said. Correspondence with hostages' families is first from leader - Continued from p. 1 of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Fadallah said, "I have tried several times to intervene to find a solution of their situation but my efforts failed because they were complicated by factors at the international level." The Muslim leader told William Foley, a Time magazine photographer in New York who works with the committee to free Anderson, that "we emphasize our concern to maintain friendly relations with the American people. . ." American people Fadlallah disavowed any responsibility for the kidnappings. Say, who has written Fadallah in the past but never before received a response, said she interpreted the letter as meaning the Shiite leader might be willing to be a "point of contact" in any negotiations to free the hostages. She pointed out that Fadallah knew Anderson, who had interviewed him as a reporter. The letters, delivered through an intermediary, were received last week. The U.S. official said that Fadialah had made many pronouncements about the hostages, some of which had appeared to be contradictory. Moreover, he said that officials were not quite sure how much influence (Fadalliah) had over the kidnappers. The United States has a policy of not negotiating with those holding hostages, although officials will talk about the welfare of the captives. --because now you can take advantage of new travel privileges on Northwest Airlines only for full-time students who carry the American Express Card Death is forever.
