THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
3A
A student walks along a sidewalk leading up to Stauffer-Flint Hall yesterday afternoon. "Screw KU" and other derogatory statements about the University of Kansas and the men's basketball team were written in chalk along campus sidewalks. Additionally, several signs attacking individual players were found yesterday morning behind Budig Hall and Anschutz Library. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the perpetrators had too much time on their hands.
"And they don't have the creativity to put that spare time to good use," he said. The Antlers, a group of men's basketball fans at the University of Missouri, have committed similar pranks in the past. They held a rally yesterday in Columbia, Mo., where they gathered signatures for a "Bomb Kansas" petition.

CAMPUS
Jayhawk Express to stop two hours earlier
The Jayhawk Express, a free bus for students on campus, will end its route two hours earlier beginning Monday.
The Jayhawk Express will stop daily service at 1:45 p.m. instead of 3:45 p.m.
Students voiced the need to have more buses in the morning on the Naismith/Oliver route because students had trouble making it to class on time.
The transportation board decided to cut two hours off the Jayhawk Express route because that time is when students least use the bus, said Blake Huff, transportation coordinator for
KU on Wheels.
The hours will be used for an extra bus to pick up students at the Naismith/Oliver-GSP stop in the morning, Huff said.

Christian, geologist to discuss evolution
As the Kansas State Board of Education nears its final decision on the issue of evolution in schools, one Kansas State professor is trying to show there shouldn't be an issue.
Keith Miller, a geologist and an evangelical Christian, will come to Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., on Sunday. He will address the conflict between faith
and evolutionary theory.
Miller has no trouble reconciling his faith with evolution, said Rachel Robson, Plymouth member and University of Kansas School of Medicine graduate student.
"He wants to take questions from everyone, those who question evolution and even Christianity," Robson said.

While Robson said the event was aimed at anyone, she expected a heckler or two to make it into the crowd.

Democracy slow to set; violence resumes
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Car bombs killed six policemen and wounded 15 in new attacks on Iraq's security services yesterday as political factions wrangled over putting together a government.
The Shiite Muslim-dominated United Iraqi Alliance and a Kurdish coalition, which emerged from the Jan. 30 elections with the two biggest blocks of seats in the National Assembly, made little headway in their talks on combining forces to select the leaders of the new government.
Forming Iraq's first democratically elected government is a key step in the U.S. plan for stabilizing the country, and insurgents have been striking at Iraqi police and military forces seeking to undermine the effort.
