The times for two special concerts on the Kansas University carillon have been changed.
The concerts now will be at 7 p.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Monday.
Sunday’s concert features Todd Fair, carillonneur at the University of Denver. Monday’s features Elizabeth Berghout, KU carillonneur.
The concerts are in honor of the 50th anniversary of the campanile, which was dedicated in May 1951.
A visit to a homeless shelter left a big impression on Brock Norwood.
And the Quail Run School fifth-grader’s talk about that experience earned high marks from judges in the state’s Optimist International speech contest.
Norwood, competing against students as old as 16, won first place and a $1,500 college scholarship with a four-minute lecture about how he would change the world by supporting homeless shelters.
“I’m delighted for him,” said Karen DeVictor, a Quail Run teacher. “To be as young as he is and go as far as he did was something.”
Norwood said he got the idea for the speech after a trip with his mother to deliver food to a homeless shelter.
He said in his talk that students could help with the effort to collect excess food from restaurants, grocery stores and individuals.
He is the son of Brian and Deborah Norwood, Lawrence.

Lawrence children can hunt for Easter eggs on land and underwater this weekend.
Children ages 3 to 8 will be allowed to hunt for plastic eggs from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the South Park gazebo, near 12th and Massachusetts streets. The eggs can be exchanged for candy prizes. The cost is $4.
The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive, will conduct its first-ever underwater “EGGstravaganza” from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Children 12 and younger can search the pool and pool decks for eggs filled with prizes. There will be games and activities throughout the center. The cost to participate is $2.
The events are sponsored by Lawrence Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with Hy-Vee. For more information about South Park hunt, call Duane Peterson, special events supervisor, at 832-7940. For more about the underwater hunt, call Jimmy Gibbs, aquatics supervisor, at 832-7990.
A campuswide committee on Thursday reached consensus on a proposed tuition increase and how the money it raises should be spent.
The committee, which has been meeting since January, said tuition should increase $43 million over the next five years, or about $1,900 per student starting in 2006. Tuition and fees currently are $2,884 per year.
The panel previously had approved an increase of $50 million, or about $2,200 per student, the same amount KU officials say their funding lags behind state-selected peers. Members decided Thursday that faculty salaries which had been included in the $50 million deficit should be the funding responsibility of the Legislature.
Committee members also prioritized how additional tuition money should be spent. High-priority items included stipends for graduate teaching and research assistants, additional faculty positions and online enrollment. Medium-priority items included technology and additional support staff.
The report, once voted upon, will go to University Council for consideration.
A Lawrence bar has promised Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control it will do more to prevent minors from being served alcohol.
ABC and Jack Flanigan’s Bar & Grill, 804 W. 24th St., recently reached a settlement for violations involving minors possessing or consuming liquor on the premises.
On Feb. 19 Flanigan’s paid an $8,000 fine and served a four-day suspension. The penalties resulted from the bar’s seventh violation over minors purchasing alcohol, ABC officials said. Licenses are normally revoked after nine violations.
Flanigan’s owner, Dannie Thompson, said he suggested a list of remedies his business could take to address the problem.
Patrons under the legal drinking age of 21 entering Flanigan’s had received a special mark on their hands. Flanigan’s will now replace the mark with a larger one, using indelible ink, Thompson said.
Another step will be to replace towel dispensers in rest rooms with electric hand dryers to help prevent young patrons from rubbing off the marks, he said.

A 19-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Thursday night after Lawrence Police searched his residence in the 800 block of New York Street.
Quincy Sanders was taken to the Douglas County Jail on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He later was released on $1,000 bond.
At the residence, police confiscated digital scales that contained residue they think is cocaine and marijuana, a report said. They also recovered two 9 mm bullets and an amount of marijuana. Officers wouldn’t say how much marijuana.
Police also seized other items found in the search, but those items weren’t identified.
The search warrant was obtained as a result of a police investigation into an aggravated assault incident earlier in the week. Three people were arrested, but they were later released, and no charges were filed.
Sanders is to appear in Douglas County District Court at 3 p.m. Sept. 6.
