"The University appreciates the cooperation of the NCAA in this matter. We believe the NCAA acted very fairly and in a timely manner," Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "We are committed to following the letter and spirit of NCAA rules."
Jackson met Davis before Kansas began recruiting the Oklahoma City native to play basketball at Kansas, and the athletics department said it did not know of the relationship while Jackson was being recruited.
"I established a relationship
with this fine young man and his family when I initially met him at a high school basketball game in Oklahoma City prior to his being recruited by the University of Kansas," Davis said. "My interest in Darnell was reinforced greatly when I viewed a United Way video, which prominently mentioned Darnell and the difficulties he overcame as a young man to become the person of high character that I know him to be."
Jackson is still able to practice with the team during his suspension but is not able to travel with the team on road trips.
Jackson must also repay the $5,000 that he received in gifts.
The 6-foot-8 Jackson averaged 2 points per game last season.
The Kansas athletics department declared Jackson ineligible when it learned of the incident, according to a statement released Tuesday evening.
Davis has been "disassociated" with the University, he said in a statement.
"I have no ill will towards the University of Kansas for which I have always had and will continue to have a great affection and respect," Davis said. "I greatly regret that my actions have resulted in any adverse consequences to Darnell Jackson or his family."

Reft studies nematocysts, the capsules containing the tubial. There are 30 different types of nematocysts. Reft is trying to figure out which species are related to each other based on the variations in nematocysts.
Scientists don't know whether the environment or the course of evolution caused the diversity of nematocysts, and they want a clearer picture of how nematocyst variety relates to the overall diversity of cnidarians, she said.
In about three years, once the researchers collect and analyze
the data, Fautin will put the information into a database. The database will be featured on a Web site with information on all enidarian species that will be accessible to everyone.
"The database shows our research to the world and explains it," Fautin said. "It includes the names and distribution of the animals, along with genetics and how it's related."
Fautin said the data would also be presented to her colleagues as well as to the non-scientific community, such as aquarium clubs.
Once the results are in, the research will enhance education on all levels, including here at the University, Fautin said. Basic biology textbooks will include more information on evolutionary relationships, and the research will contribute to an exhibit at the KU Natural History Museum. The project also helps train graduate and undergraduate students for evolutionary research.
The NSF funds three to six research groups a year for the project. The University has been involved all three years, but this year is the first year for it to serve as the lead institution.

Justin La Mort, Cherryvale senior, said Kline was a good speaker, but he said he expressed his personal views and talked like a politician. La Mort said he didn't agree with some of his information about the death penalty.

Felix Zacharias, Wichita freshman and a member of the College Republicans, said Kline was energetic and verbose. Kline did a good job of separating his opinions and his job, making sure they didn't connect, he said.

He doesn't find out the names on the records until a judge finds there is enough evidence to prosecute, he said.
Kline said his office obtained the records was because it was the only way to prove cases of sexual violence with victims who are dependents of perpetrators.
Although his critics say judicial inquiry violates privacy rights, Kline said his office protects privacy.

"These investigations are private," Kline said. "It's amazing how the politics and media noise has distorted this."
On abortion, Kline said his job is to enforce the law; the only abortion cases his office takes are illegal ones. He said he did not let personal beliefs

"The state has the right to take another life," he said. Kline said in Kansas, there were strict, narrow circumstances for an offender to get the death penalty.

The biggest concern is making sure the state doesn't take innocent lives.
With regard to teaching evolution and intelligent design, Kline said he didn't really know where he stood on the issue, but he said the state should be smart enough to talk about it.
"Science gets pretty close-minded sometimes," he said.
He said he wanted to make sure everyone kept an open mind.
Kline also talked about the death penalty.

"Just like any other matter related to security, we do not discuss changes related to procedure," Bailey said. "We would welcome the opportunity to sit down with any department that's experiencing losses and discuss possible changes to security."
Kansas Athletics Inc., which
owns the equipment, earns most of its money from ticket sales and donations, Marchiony said. The University funds 1 to 2 percent of its general operating budget, he said.
Mangino's show will be televised Sunday because of the cancelation of the last show, Marchiony said.
Marchiony did not know where the money would come from to replace the equipment, or if the money would come from the 1 to 2 percent of University funds it receives.
The computers were also used to produce highlights shown on the scoreboard, Rock Chalk Revue and other tapes for the team, Marchiony said.
