Oread cleanup scheduled for Saturday
By Debbie McMahon
Kansan staff writer
Even though it's not spring, this week would be a good time for cleaning in the Oread Neighborhood.
Bulky trash, which normally can't be removed during regular trash collection, will be picked up Saturday by volunteers working for the Oread Neighborhood Association.
As part of the 12th annual fall Oread neighborhood cleanup, large items, such as stoves or sofas, can be removed by two trash trucks and a flatbed truck. Oread neighborhood includes the areas between Ninth and 17th streets and between Massachusetts and Arkansas streets. Campus and the Greek houses on Tennessee Street are excluded.
"It's like a spring cleanup, except we're doing it in the fall," said Linda Andersen, Bonner Springs senior and an association member.
Linda Hixon, association coordinator, said the items should be labeled "ONA" and placed near
the street. If branches need o be removed, they should be bundled, she said.
People interested in having trash picked up should notify Hixon by Friday, so routes can be scheduled. The office number is 842-5440.
Volunteers should report by 8 a.m. Saturday to 921 Volunteers. Volunteers will work until lunch. They should bring rakes and hedge clippers if they have finished the composting of food for lunch, although chili will be served.
Alleys in Oread are one of the target areas of the cleanup.
Andersen is a representative of her area in Oread. She said that although some litter was probably from students, some landlords didn't notice it. Anderson said she said she was one to help the situation Saturday.
Eric Cleveland, Oread Neighborhood Association president, said if a person is one of six who lives in a house, as is common in Oread, he probably won't notice trash in alleys or feel
responsible to pick it up.
He also said that since some houses have a large number of students or more than one family living in them, more trash accumulates than what the city's system is set up to handle.
Cleveland said volunteers would probably be asked to do a lot of raking.
Cleveland helped clean the neighborhood last fall.
"It was pretty productive," he said. "I think the neighbors appreciated it. A lot of it goes unseen, though."
Larry Washburn, Wellington sophomore and vice president of Phi Kappa Tau, said most of the members of his house were planning on participating.
He said his fraternity was volunteering in conjunction with the Delta TauDelta fraternity.
"We're doing it because we want to do anything that we can to better Lawrence," Washburn said. "It's our neighborhood as well."
Women have advantage over men, professor says
By Grace Hobson Kansan staff writer
Women have a biological and behavioral advantage over men, the 1887 president of the American Psychological Association said last night.
"At every moment across the lifespan, from conception to death, girls and women are, on the average, biologically more advantaged and live longer than boys and men," said Bonnie Sennich of the University of psychology at the University of Massachusetts in Amberst.
Strickland spoke to more than 200 people in a packed Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union as part of the Fernie Forman Fisher Lecture in Psychology series. The series was endowed about four years ago by David Fisher, Topeka resident, as a memorial to his wife Ferne, a KU psychology graduate.
Strickland said mortality rates for men were considerably higher than those for women. For every 100 boys born to a woman, only one man will live as long.
"Employed women are physically and emotionally healthier than unemployed women," Strickland said. "The holding of multiple roles allows flexibility and makes the woman feel better."
Strickland said she could not explain why women lived longer than men. She disagreed with the theory that as women entered the workplace more often, they would have more cases of premature
death.
Women suffer from diseases more than men, such as diabetes and strokes, both of which are age-related. Strickland said. Because women live longer, they are likely to encounter the diseases.
In part, behavioral differences account for men being more likey to die prematurely than women, Strickland said. They partake in more risk-taking behavior, leading to deaths by accident and suicide. Men are more than twice as likely to die from accidents and more than three times as likely to die from suicides than women.
Behavioral changes are the key to longer life, Strickland said. Eating a balanced diet, not smoking, eating can prevent many diseases.
Lauren Yoshinobu, Monterey,
Calif., graduate student, said she
found Strickland's lecture encour-
aging.
"I didn't have a gender-specific reaction, but a behavior-specific reaction," Yoshinobu said. "There are so many things we can do to live longer."

Plane makes belly landing at Wichita
The Associated Press
Airport.
WICHTA — A broken control rod was the reason a pilot was forced to make an emergency landing of an Air Midwest commuter flight, Federal Aviation Administration investigators said.
The broken rod prevented a landing gear door from opening yesterday morning, forcing the pilot to land on the road. The driver wheels at Wichita Mid-Continent
Jerald Mertens, manager of the FAA's Flight Standards Office in Wichita, said officials were not sure why the rod broke.
Witnesses said sparks flew as the craft skimmed along a runway with airport and Wichita Fire Department emergency vehicles standing by. Three passengers and two crew members disembarked from the plane uninjured when it stopped, witnesses said.
